Chapter 31 Bet
◎Follow me, you won’t go wrong◎
Qingliang Yixia didn't say anything at first, but after hearing enough comments from StarNet netizens, he finally responded, "You can imagine so much with just a nod. With such a rich imagination, why doesn't you become a screenwriter? Maybe you're just being polite."
[ACE]: "I don't know if they're being polite, but if I were to be rude now, I wouldn't dare do that. Stop talking nonsense and making a fool of yourself, you idiot."
[Cool Summer]: "What's there for me to be afraid of? As long as you can show me some solid evidence, I'll be brave enough to do it!"
[Nan Bingyang]: "Hey, am I the only one curious why she thinks Qin Shu is stupid? Qin Shu is from Sigma University, a prestigious school in the Star Alliance."
[Shuang Cheng]: "Come to think of it...why do I also have the impression that Qin Shu is not smart?"
[Rowing Without Oars]: "Because she was being trolled online the whole time. Didn't someone leak Qin Shu's report card back then? It was indeed pretty dismal, and then as it spread, along with all sorts of unidentified revelations, both true and false, everyone inexplicably reached the consensus that she was brainless. Honestly, I even called her brain useless back then."
[Eat Melon First Line]: "That transcript is clearly incomplete. They must have deliberately picked out the ones with poor grades to expose. After all, there were so many people following the trend to criticize Qin Shu at the time. Criticizing Qin Shu was the key to traffic, and the trend was correct."
It was originally a relatively normal discussion, but no one expected it to develop into such a situation - Star Online actually opened a betting platform for Qin Shu's first monthly exam results after returning to school, with four options: [bottom of the list], [lower-middle level], [upper-middle level], and [top of the list].
And among them, as many as 87% of people chose that Qin Shu's performance this time was still at the bottom or in the middle.
Obviously, the idea that "Qin Shu has no brains" has been deeply rooted in many people's minds.
Qin Shu didn't care about what was happening on the Star Network, but Yue Shanshan and Elia were the ones who loved browsing the Star Network. The two were now sitting on Qin Shu's left and right. They looked like pufferfish looking at the terminal, their breasts swelling in anger. Qin Shu couldn't help but care about them.
"What's going on?"
"Qin Shu, let me tutor you!" Upon hearing this, Yue Shanshan grabbed Qin Shu's left hand and said with pleading eyes.
"..." Qin Shu had seen this kind of look before. Mr. Wu and others who came to tutor her before all looked at her with this look.
"I can do it too, especially professional courses." Elia also grabbed Qin Shu's right hand.
Qin Shu hadn't expected that after all these days, she was still so popular in the tutoring field. And why was it that in other places, students were competing for the best tutors, but in her case, teachers were vying for her, the students begging her for tutoring? This kind of treatment was only comparable to when she was a child and didn't want to eat, and her mother chased after her with a bowl of food, desperately feeding her.
It's outrageous.
"What happened?" Qin Shu was helpless.
Only then did Yue Shanshan tell the story of the gambling game.
"Oh." Qin Shu was calm after hearing this, without even frowning. She just opened the terminal and bought the one that would allow her to be among the best.
After buying, she did not forget to greet Yue Shanshan and Eliya: "Buy more, earn some pocket money."
"Do you have the motivation to study now?" Yue Shanshan was very happy to see this.
"Oh, not really."
"...Is the transcript that was posted online before real?" Yue Shanshan was silent for two seconds after hearing this, and then she looked at Qin Shu again with expectation, as if she really hoped that she would shake her head affirmatively.
Qin Shu carefully recalled what she had said, and finally found some memories of this from her distant memory: "Yes, it's true."
At that time, she was being blacklisted by the entire Internet and was also being blacklisted by the company. She also had to find ways to make money. Her grades did decline sharply, and some of her grades even fell below the passing line. Fortunately, her grades in other subjects were still good, and she worked hard to raise her total score and average score, so she was able to fly safely at a low altitude and did not have to repeat a grade.
Yes, in a comprehensive university, if the total score and average score do not meet the requirements, you will be required to repeat the grade.
This is something that many people know, but everyone seems to have collectively forgotten the fact that Qin Shuke has never failed a grade. Even Yue Shanshan and Elia, as students of Yizong University, have forgotten this.
It is not difficult to see how overwhelming and far-reaching the online blackening Qin Shu faced at the time was. After all, Yue Shanshan and Elia have completely changed their views on Qin Shu now, and they were unable to react to the abnormality in the first time.
"What I said about making money is true." Qin Shu's expression remained calm, as if the matter being discussed had nothing to do with her at all.
Yue Shanshan was the one who acted the fastest. Even though her brain had not yet reacted, her body had already honestly chosen to believe Qin Shu and bet that Qin Shu would rank among the top in the first monthly exam. This option was chosen by less than a thousand people so far, and she even sent it to the group of relatives and friends, asking everyone to support Qin Shu.
Elia was a little hesitant.
Qin Shu had no intention of forcing him, so she just lowered her head and sent a message to Xu Wen to discuss the new company.
…
Qin Shu had originally thought that Yu Xiaoqing's matter would take some time to deal with. However, she had just disembarked from the school's spaceship and was about to return home to recuperate when Xu Wen and Zhou Yin drove over to pick her up with the latest news.
"Are you saying that the insect egg is an Arachia insect?" Qin Shu frowned rarely.
"right."
"If I remember correctly, a planet of the Star Alliance was destroyed by this Arachnid."
"Yes, the Arachi insects can parasitize living organisms, absorb their nutrients and reproduce continuously. They can even modify the cell DNA of living organisms, making the immune system of the living organisms unable to detect their existence, and use their special mind control to turn living organisms into slaves that they can drive." Xu Wen nodded.
Even Zhou Yin couldn't help but add a few words: "Let's put it this way, by the time you realize an Arachi insect has appeared next to you, they may have already occupied the entire planet. I heard from a teacher who went to that planet to rescue them that not only were most of the humans on that planet turned into puppets, but their reproduction also produced a strong acid and virus that directly eroded the entire surface of the planet, making it uninhabitable for other life forms for at least five hundred years."
"Well, to prevent the Zerg from escaping to other planets and causing uncontrollable serious consequences, the Star Alliance had no choice but to destroy this planet. We thought the Arach Zerg should have been completely wiped out in that planetary destruction, but we didn't expect there would be some that slipped through the net." When Xu Wen said this, his tone suddenly turned cold. "If you hadn't discovered this, our planet Sigma would most likely have repeated the same fate as that planet, turning into dust in the universe and ceasing to exist!"
Qin Shu never expected that her slip of the hand would actually save the world.
This thought only lasted a moment. What Qin Shu cared about most now was——
"How did Yu Xiaoqing get this necklace? She obviously knew there was a bug inside."
Xu Wen didn't say anything, but opened his terminal and played a video for Qin Shu.
The protagonist of this video is Yu Xiaoqing. She was in a very miserable state at the moment. There was yellow sand stuck on her hair and clothes. It might have been because of the earthquake that she was hit somewhere. It was not obvious at the time, but now her right cheek was swollen up, and her right eye was squeezed to a slit.
She sat behind a metal table with countless instruments placed beside her, and she was also put in a restraint suit.
"I've already mentioned this, I really don't know who gave me this necklace. I was just complaining about a breakup on Starnet, and then a stranger messaged me, saying she had a way to make men obey me, as long as I kept wearing the necklace she gave me. Since it was free, I thought I'd give it a try, so I gave her my address. But when I opened the door the next day, I saw a package with no sender information."
"What's in the package?" The person asking the question had a flat voice.
"Didn't I just say it? How many times do you want me to repeat it?!" Yu Xiaoqing was a little crazy, his face twisted into a hideous shape.
At this moment, an instrument next to her suddenly sounded an alarm, and the blue light on Yu Xiaoqing's straitjacket instantly flashed. That was one of the interrogation weapons used by the Federation against criminals who endangered the security of the Star Alliance and repeatedly refused to cooperate. When the blue light flashed, the person wearing the straitjacket would immediately experience the feeling of being cut into pieces.
Yu Xiaoqing's whole body twitched violently. The severe pain made her unable to even scream. She could only roll her eyes and let her tears and saliva fall uncontrollably.
This process lasted for a full ten seconds.
Yu Xiaoqing, who had just been yelling, didn't dare to act any more. She immediately became obedient.
"answer the questions."
"In the package is the necklace, and a... a sealed transparent bottle about the size of a thumb." Yu Xiaoqing's body was still shaking, as if the terrible pain just now had not subsided.
The person asking the question remained calm: "What's in the vial?"
"There's half a bottle of clear, thick liquid."
"What are the uses of the necklace and the liquid?"
"Necklaces are meant to be worn, and liquids are... fed to others."
"Why do you do that?"
"Because... she said that only those who have drunk that liquid will listen to me."
When Qin Shu saw this, she immediately understood what was going on with Lin Feng and the others: "Is there something wrong with the liquid?"
Xu Wen nodded. "Well, I mentioned before that the Zerg have unique methods of mind control. Adults can do this without any other medium, but the eggs don't have that power, so they need some assistance."
"I understand."
