This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Splash—

The seawater churned violently, as though the entire world had been submerged beneath the ocean.

The moment He Yu regained consciousness, he felt something dragging him downward. His body was weak, so weak that even struggling had become difficult. At the same time, a clear voice echoed inside his mind—

[Beep! Contestant No. 2333, He Yu, is about to die. Dropped equipment: a pair of useless plain glasses, a stylish but impractical outfit, and a useless but exceptionally sharp belt buckle.]

The pressure of the seawater squeezed against his lungs, sharp pain blooming in his chest as suffocation closed in. The world sank into endless darkness.

At the same time, He Yu seemed to see dense lines of text floating across the blurry scene before his eyes. Different colors, rapidly scrolling past one after another—

“Waiting for this nobody from some unknown planet to sink to the bottom.”

“The most exciting thing about this talent show is watching different people go crazy before they die. Shame this one’s dying underwater. All we get is desperate struggling and no screaming.”

“What planet is this contestant from? Blue Star? Never heard of it. Some trash planet?”

“The newly added trash-planet contestants are just here to entertain us, hahaha. The more trash-planet people die, the better. Waiting for this one to die too.”

“Still waiting.”

...

The endless stream of text made He Yu’s already throbbing head ache even more, as though it wasn’t satisfied with how quickly he was dying. Then suddenly, a flood of unfamiliar memories belonging to this body surged into his mind.

His struggling movements nearly stopped completely.

The long strands of seaweed tangled around his legs continued dragging him deeper into the darkness below...

Meanwhile, outside the screen, on Blue Star—

Blue Star leader Wei Jiaguo shook his head.

“He won’t last. Blue Star has lost another one.”

Beside him, Zheng Ke, the person responsible for contestant recruitment, sighed softly.

“This was expected. He Yu is good-looking, but his abilities are far too poor.”

In fact, the reason they had selected him in the first place was because of his exceptionally beautiful face.

—They had hoped that perhaps the viewers of the Universe Federation would notice He Yu’s appearance, and through him, notice Blue Star.

All Blue Star contestants had volunteered to participate, while the leadership selected candidates based on what would most benefit Blue Star.

Don’t think them cruel.

They had no other choice.

Blue Star desperately needed the Universe Federation to notice them and acknowledge them. Even if there was only the slightest chance, they had to try.

The reason Blue Star was in such a hurry was because six months ago, an alien civilization had suddenly contacted them and forcibly ordered them to send ten thousand people to participate in the talent show.

Along with shock came immense pressure.

The alien world had developed far beyond anything they could have imagined—advanced technology, robotic planets, the Federation’s five main planets, supernatural abilities...

In such an environment, if Blue Star were attacked by another planet, defeat would be inevitable.

If those civilizations could suddenly contact them, they could also suddenly destroy them.

The entire planet panicked.

Faced with such circumstances, Blue Star, a newly emerging small planet, had to join the Universe Federation as quickly as possible and gain its recognition.

At the very least, before they became strong enough to stand on their own, they needed the protection of the Federation’s laws.

Unfortunately, Blue Star’s technology was underdeveloped, and they had no influential figures capable of speaking within the Federation. The Universe Federation completely ignored them. Their application had never received a response.

Clearly, the Federation only cared about making them participate in the competition. They didn’t take Blue Star seriously at all.

With no other options, Blue Star could only place its hopes back on the talent show, searching there for an opportunity to break through.

The top-tier talent show known as the “Death Trial Grounds” and the “God-Making System” had already been held for dozens of seasons. Aside from a few breathtaking early years, it had gradually become less and less interesting.

Not only could it no longer create gods, even the deaths had stopped being entertaining.

This time, the Universe Federation organizers decided to struggle one last time—

Since they couldn’t create gods anymore, then they would make “death” itself the spectacle.

In the past, only Federation planets had been allowed to participate.

But this time, they forcibly dragged in “lower-level planets” that had not yet entered higher civilization or joined the Federation.

For example, Blue Star.

And so, Blue Star was connected to the universe and ordered to send ten thousand people into this devilish top-tier talent show.

A competition with ten million participants—

but only one person would leave alive.

This was the universe’s carnival.

They waited eagerly to watch these “low-level planet people” get slaughtered. They waited to watch them be crushed beneath “advanced civilizations.”

The weak would always be beaten.

Blue Star had no voice, no bargaining power. They had no choice but to participate—and no choice but to do their best.

More than ten million people on Blue Star signed up, and from them, ten thousand were selected.

The leadership prioritized death-row inmates first. After all, entering the competition was practically a death sentence anyway—and a painfully brutal one at that. Since the Federation demanded ten thousand participants, such people were considered the best candidates.

But at the same time, they still held onto a sliver of hope.

They hoped Blue Star could seize this opportunity.

So they also selected volunteer scientists, doctors, special forces soldiers, boxers...

He Yu was an exception.

They had chosen him for his stunning appearance.

Some contestants registered for Blue Star’s sake. Others did it for the one-in-ten-million possibility of “becoming a god.”

As for Blue Star itself, it needed these contestants to make the planet famous.

As long as someone performed brilliantly enough to enter the top ten rankings, Blue Star would attract the Universe Federation’s attention, and their application might finally be approved.

This talent show concerned the entire universe.

It was also a matter of life and death for Blue Star.

Blue Star citizens still hadn’t joined the Universe Federation. They weren’t citizens yet, meaning they couldn’t register accounts, vote, or send bullet comments.

But they could watch.

And the entire planet was watching the livestreams.

—They hoped Blue Star contestants would amaze the universe and bring glory to Blue Star.

—They hoped Blue Star contestants would shatter the prejudices of those Federation citizens watching for entertainment.

—They prayed for Blue Star’s contestants.

As for one of them becoming the sole victor and the universe’s ultimate top star?

They didn’t even dare dream that far.

Inside the livestream conference room, the Blue Star leaders watched the scrolling comments with disappointment in their eyes.

“What a shame. Compared to appearance, people in the Universe Federation seem to care more about strength.”

Wei Jiaguo shook his head again.

“What a pity about He Yu. He wasn’t a death-row inmate, so if he has family, compensation should be sent to them. Sigh... switch to Bo Jingshan’s stream instead. He already managed to seize a lifeboat. He has a good chance of passing the preliminary round.”

Zheng Ke nodded and reached out to switch screens.

At that moment, Blue Star General Ye Kaijun suddenly exclaimed—

“Wait!”

His voice was filled with shock as he stared at the screen, eyes wide with disbelief.

Wei Jiaguo, who had turned away because he couldn’t bear to watch, looked back in confusion. Then the same astonishment appeared in his eyes.

On the screen—

The man whose legs had been tangled in seaweed and dragged underwater had nearly stopped breathing.

But suddenly, it was as though some force erupted within him.

His eyes snapped open.

Underwater, he curled his body inward, folding himself tightly into a ball!

Before anyone could even process what happened, he bit through the seaweed around his feet, kicked off violently, and shot upward from the ocean floor straight toward the surface!

Wei Jiaguo and the others were stunned.

At the same time, the bullet comments exploded—

“He’s still alive?!”

“My god, how did he bend underwater and get his head down to his feet?!”

“I need to rewind that...”

“How boring. This trash-planet guy still hasn’t died. I’m going to watch other trash-planet contestants die instead!”

“Don’t rush. The sea is full of danger. He’s already exhausted. He won’t survive anyway.”

...

On the screen, the man churned through the seawater.

His pale face contrasted against the dark ocean, while his eyes, bright as stars, seemed even deeper and more mesmerizing than the sea itself.

His movements were graceful as a swimming dragon.

His body swiftly broke through the water’s surface.

Wei Jiaguo let out a breath.

“His luck is actu—”

pretty good.

The words abruptly stopped.

The instant He Yu’s head emerged from the water, a giant fish over fifty meters long suddenly appeared before him, opening its enormous jaws wide!

Its bloody maw formed a massive vortex as it lunged forward, as though it intended to swallow not only He Yu, but the surrounding seawater itself.

Splash—

With a violent crash, the giant fish occupied the exact spot where He Yu had just been moments earlier. Waves surged upward, and through the water, they vaguely caught sight of the fish’s cold, emotionless eyes.

Silence filled the livestream conference room.

After a long while, Wei Jiaguo muttered blankly—

“...really terrible.”

Finishing the sentence he had left incomplete.

Wasn’t his luck terrible?

He had finally escaped from underwater only to immediately end up inside a giant fish’s mouth.

How unlucky could someone possibly be?

Zheng Ke shook his head and reached out to switch streams. More than half the viewers in the livestream also left.

—He Yu was dead.

His livestream room was about to disappear.

But just before Zheng Ke pressed the button, the turbulent water on-screen gradually calmed, revealing the giant fish’s full form.

At the same time—

Zheng Ke’s hand froze.

His eyes widened even more dramatically than before, looking as though they might pop out entirely. His mouth fell open in shock, his entire body stiffened, veins bulging at his forehead as his grip instinctively tightened around the mouse.

Beside him, Wei Jiaguo and the others wore nearly identical expressions.

Even the bullet comments abruptly vanished, as though everyone in that instant had been too shocked to react.

On-screen, the giant fish floated in the ocean with half its head exposed above the surface.

And lying atop its head—

was the person who had supposedly just been swallowed.

He Yu.

He lay there quietly, eyes half-lidded, as though he had been there from the beginning.

The livestream was still active.

He Yu was still alive.

After what felt like forever, Ye Kaijun finally spoke in a hoarse voice—

“Rewind it... play it again slowly... let’s see exactly what happened...”

The livestream replayed in slow motion.

And finally, they saw everything that had happened in that brief instant.

The giant fish lunged toward He Yu with its jaws wide open, fully capable of swallowing him whole.

But at the exact moment it bit down, He Yu kicked off beneath the water, his frail pale body rushing toward the fish’s upper jaw.

Then, underwater, he flipped rapidly through the air.

His body bent as though it had no bones at all, nearly pressed flat against the fish’s upper jaw as he twisted himself at an impossibly tricky angle, folding himself over and flipping onto the fish’s head.

The movement was so smooth and fluid it resembled an artistic performance rather than a desperate attempt to evade death.

The position where he landed was perfect.

The giant fish couldn’t see the top of its own head, and He Yu’s body was so thin and light that to the fish, the weight of such a tiny human was difficult to notice.

—Of course, the fish likely never imagined someone would dare lie on top of its head in the first place.

The giant fish lingered there in confusion, seemingly wondering why it had just swallowed food but felt absolutely nothing.

Was the food too small?

Confusion flashed through the giant fish’s eyes. Then it glanced around, failed to smell any prey nearby, and finally closed its eyes, floating lazily atop the water.

Sunlight shone warmly across its head.

The Blue Star livestream conference room remained silent.

But the bullet comments exploded instantly—

“I rewound it—holy shit, this guy’s reaction speed is insane!”

“And his body is so flexible! Is that some kind of superpower?”

“What’s this guy’s name? Good. He’s officially caught my attention. I want to see just how far his luck can carry him!”

“+1 for good luck.”

“I don’t think it’s just luck though... escaping the seaweed and then escaping from inside the fish’s mouth... Contestant 2333 definitely has some skill...”

“It doesn’t matter. He’s still lying on the fish’s head instead of escaping. Something could happen at any moment!”

...

The livestream comments had never been this lively before.

Wei Jiaguo’s heartbeat quickened slightly as he looked at the screen with growing anticipation.

Meanwhile, Zheng Ke frowned.

“Why isn’t he trying to escape yet?”

Ye Kaijun was anxious to death.

“Exactly! The giant fish is relaxed right now. If he doesn’t hurry and leave, once it starts moving again he won’t be able to escape!”

Zheng Ke sighed.

“He’s still too inexperienced. He Yu used to be nothing more than a washed-up minor celebrity. He’s never received specialized survival training. Escaping just now was already a lucky break. After this...”

He didn’t finish the sentence.

But everyone understood.

Whether it was Wei Jiaguo and the others, or the citizens of the Universe Federation watching the livestream, everyone was wondering the same thing—

Why wasn’t He Yu taking the chance to escape?

“Is this guy really that fearless?”

“Heh. He’s courting death. The giant fish of Sea World aren’t something to joke about!”

“Boring. I’m leaving.”

“No, I’m staying. I want to watch exactly how he dies. Someone this reckless definitely won’t die prettily.”

...

However—

Seeing the bullet comments, the corners of He Yu’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
