Exploiting the fear of this world's inhabitants was one reason.
The other was to wait for the remaining Intern Readers to deliver themselves to him.
But unfortunately, judging by the current situation...
The remaining Intern Readers had completely given up on trying to kill him.
That made sense.
If they had previously clung to some faint hope of killing Hu Qi by leveraging their numerical advantage...
...then after he demonstrated the ability to withstand a nuclear weapon...
...those few remaining Intern Readers were now even less likely to ever appear before him.
After all, staying away from him meant they might live. Attacking him, however, meant certain death.
Anyone would know what choice to make.
Furthermore,
Hu Qi had no idea what the specific details of the Intern Readers' mission were, or if it even had a time limit.
He had no way of knowing.
If there was no time limit, they certainly wouldn't be in a rush.
They had all the time in the world to wait him out.
