This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The berserk giant fish from the morning had been impossible for them to defeat.

So naturally, the berserk giant fish at night was impossible for them to defeat too!

The boat immediately turned, preparing to flee.

However—

It was too late.

He Yu dug into the wound on the giant fish’s head again and again, letting the blood from his arm stream down through the rain. His face grew paler and paler, his gaze more and more unfocused.

As expected, he was still too weak right now.

But even as his vision blurred, his hand still tightly gripped the knife, continuously twisting it with force.

The berserk giant fish went completely mad. Its tail lashed wildly. Before the inflatable raft preparing to retreat could even finish turning around, the giant fish’s violent tail slammed into their boat!

“Pff—”

The raft instantly exploded apart. Two of the weaker teammates were killed on the spot by the strike, their equipment scattering everywhere.

Wanrenzhan and the others were blasted away as well. Gedai’s mechanical body was especially light, and he was directly sent flying.

The giant fish was still rampaging. It had no combat techniques whatsoever. It simply struggled in violent frenzy, smashing at every living thing it could see, stirring towering waves across the surrounding sea.

The moment Wanrenzhan and the others fell into the water, they lost half their advantage, all while the berserk giant fish continued attacking them relentlessly.

Fear flashed through Wanrenzhan’s eyes as he retreated sharply.

They really were strong.

But separated from each other, still lacking proper equipment and sufficient weapons during the preliminary stage, they simply could not deal with a berserk giant fish at the preliminary-stage level!

“Bang!”

“Bang! Bang!”

Each strike from the giant fish scattered Wanrenzhan’s group farther and farther apart.

Faced with the berserk giant fish, without a boat, how could they care about anything else? They could only struggle desperately to dodge the attacks while swimming backward in retreat.

In an instant, the side trapped in mortal danger shifted from He Yu to Wanrenzhan’s group!

Grinding his teeth viciously, Wanrenzhan gripped his axe and cursed while fleeing for his life across the stormy nighttime sea.

—Leaving the livestream audience, who had been waiting to watch him kill someone and loot equipment, completely dumbfounded.

During the preliminary stage, inflatable rafts and boats on the sea were incredibly rare. They were among the most important resources.

The reason Wanrenzhan’s group had been able to gather together at all was because of that raft.

But now, the raft they had carefully protected was destroyed just like that—and destroyed beyond repair.

Wanrenzhan and the others could not understand why the giant fish had gone berserk from a single axe strike?!

How could they know that the place where He Yu’s knife had pierced was the giant fish’s weakest and most vital brain region? Even though the blade had not penetrated deeply, the sheer density of nerves there amplified the pain tens of thousands of times over!

Most importantly—

He Yu was currently extremely unlucky, and under the influence of that misfortune, the giant fish had gone berserk.

The giant fish rampaged for two full hours.

During those two hours, Wanrenzhan’s group either escaped this area... or died within the giant fish’s frenzy.

When the heavy rain finally stopped, a full moon appeared in the sky, illuminating the ocean surface.

It was almost as if everything that had just happened had merely been a dream.

But upon closer inspection of the sea, shattered debris and traces of blood-red color not yet fully dispersed could still be seen.

The giant fish floated weakly on the water with its mouth slightly open, its eyes unfocused.

—Its life force was fading.

In the distance, Wanrenzhan, Annie, Tang Ke, and Gedai, who had successfully escaped, floated on the sea with utterly blank expressions. Under the bright moonlight, the confusion on their faces could be seen clearly.

They had obviously come to hunt down that person and that fish.

Yet before the battle had even properly begun, things had somehow turned into this.

The boat was gone.

All the other teammates were dead.

The four of them had been separated...

And they still had no idea how things had become like this.

Four stunned faces floating on the ocean appeared across four separate livestreams.

This pursuit had ended in an absurd anticlimax.

As for the other protagonist—

He Yu was still lying on the giant fish’s back.

After the giant fish floated limply onto the surface, his hand finally loosened around the tightly gripped knife. He collapsed against the fish’s head, face deathly pale, eyes just as weak and unfocused as the giant fish’s, as though he might stop breathing at any second.

The equally dumbfounded barrage of comments remained silent for quite a while before someone finally typed—

“This... still counts as Wanrenzhan’s group winning, right? The giant fish and He Yu are both dying, but Wanrenzhan’s group survived...”

Many people silently nodded.

However, just as that comment drifted across the blank screen, He Yu took out a vial of medicine.

Medicine description—

[Six-Star Recovery Potion. Can heal severe injuries. One dose can pull someone back from the brink of death.]

There were many grades of potions, from one-star to nine-star. The higher the stars, the rarer and stronger the potion. Whether in reality or in <Top Talent Show>, nine-star potions were practically legendary.

At the preliminary stage, a six-star recovery potion was already unbelievably top-tier. As long as someone had not fully died, it could still save them!

There were countless viewers watching. The previously frozen barrage instantly exploded—

“Holy shit!!”

“Where did he get a potion from?!”

“Holy shit holy shit, he actually has a six-star potion! He’s not dying!”

“I saw it... when the giant fish went berserk and smashed people into the sea, he picked it up from the water... it was An’s equipment. Earlier, when Wanrenzhan’s group was collecting loot, An secretly hid it away. Everyone was praising him for it at the time. Who would’ve thought he’d get smashed to death, drop the equipment, and have He Yu pick it up?”

“?????”

“Wasn’t he struggling to resist the giant fish’s thrashing just moments ago?! Wasn’t he severely injured and extremely weak?!”

“How the hell did he still manage to loot equipment under those circumstances?!”

“...Probably through his terrifying obsession with equipment.”

...

Many viewers rewound the footage.

The berserk giant fish had smashed two of Wanrenzhan’s teammates to death with the very first strike, causing their equipment to drop into the sea.

Wanrenzhan’s group fled for their lives.

The giant fish rampaged wildly.

He Yu tightly gripped that plain, unremarkable knife while weakly stabilizing himself.

A wave carried an extremely tiny potion not far from He Yu.

It really was tiny beyond belief. The audience had only noticed it after zooming in!

And on top of that, it had all happened during a thunderstorm-filled night...

Under normal circumstances, He Yu should never have noticed it.

But not only had he seen it, during the giant fish’s violent movements, he had suddenly exploded with strength, twisting his body into an angle no normal person could possibly achieve, using his belt to hook the potion toward himself.

Again, it was the belt.

Hook the potion over.

Store it away.

Continue gripping the plain, unremarkable knife while weakly collapsing there.

Audience: “......”

The audience was speechless.

Wei Jiaguo let out a long breath, his eyes filled with ecstatic relief and complicated emotions.

“He Yu is still alive. Wanrenzhan’s group has left, the giant fish is dying too. As long as he drinks that potion, he’ll recover quickly and survive this desperate situation. He—”

His voice abruptly stopped.

On the screen, He Yu opened the potion, tasted a little—

Then, without the slightest hesitation, weakly crawled toward the giant fish’s upper jaw and poured the potion into the giant fish’s mouth.

After pouring it in, He Yu crawled back, finally reassured, and fainted.

Wei Jiaguo: “???”

Barrage comments: “???”

—

Zhang Yu stared motionlessly at the screen.

His roommate kept glancing at him from time to time. Earlier, Zhang Yu had claimed he did not care whether He Yu lived or died, but in reality...

He still wanted to know.

Even if the ending had already seemed predetermined in his mind.

Seeing Zhang Yu remain frozen for so long, his roommate finally could not hold back anymore.

“He Yu died?”

So he got emotionally wrecked?

Zhang Yu stiffly turned his head and looked at his roommate blankly.

“No...”

His roommate looked surprised.

“Wanrenzhan’s group still hasn’t caught He Yu?”

Zhang Yu replied woodenly:

“They caught up...”

His roommate became even more shocked.

“He Yu’s luck is that insane? He actually escaped?”

Zhang Yu stared at him and spoke quietly.

“No. Wanrenzhan’s group escaped.”

His roommate jumped up from the bed, voice full of disbelief—

“What?!”

Whether on Blue Star or across the <Top Talent Show> discussion forums, everyone was talking about the incident involving “Wanrenzhan failing to kill He Yu” and “the six-star potion fed to a fish.”

Regardless of whether Blue Star viewers supported He Yu or not, almost everyone felt both shocked and delighted.

The trending topics were filled entirely with related discussions.

On the <Top Talent Show> discussion boards, Federation viewers were also discussing it intensely, creating threads thousands of replies long.

1L: I’m genuinely stunned speechless.

2L: Wanrenzhan’s group are complete trash. They couldn’t even handle a garbage-planet contestant with five combat points.

3L: Please. They weren’t fighting 2333. They were fighting a berserk giant fish!

4L: Anyway, I’m not impressed with Wanrenzhan’s group anymore. They were hyped like gods, but this is all they can do. Fans should stop coping. Don’t tell me that garbage-planet human is actually amazing?

...

132L: Honestly... I really do think that garbage-planet human is amazing...

133L: His luck was incredible. Wanrenzhan’s group ended up taking the consequences of the giant fish’s rage for him.

...

434L: A six-star potion would still be useful even in the semifinals and finals. If he had used it on himself, fine—but he fed it to the fish!! What a waste! A six-star recovery potion costs at least a hundred thousand Federation credits!

...

1326L: Seriously, this time I’m truly shocked. That garbage-planet contestant with five combat points survived multiple times and even screwed over Wanrenzhan’s group. I refuse to believe it’s all luck. Several garbage-planet contestants this year are actually pretty impressive. Blue Star’s He Yu—I’ll remember that name. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next.

1327L: If he actually clears the preliminary stage with five combat points, it’ll absolutely become a miracle unprecedented in the history of this competition!

1328L: He’s just a garbage-planet contestant. What’s there to praise? Garbage planets produce garbage people. They don’t deserve to pass the preliminary stage!

...

Previously, Federation viewers had unanimously looked down on He Yu, believing his death was guaranteed, so nobody thought there was anything worth discussing.

But after the Wanrenzhan incident, some mocked Wanrenzhan, while others became interested in He Yu...

And so, arguments erupted.

Arguments generated attention.

Attention generated popularity.

He Yu’s livestream rose into the First Ring layer. Although it occupied only the outermost position among the ten streams there, it was still in the First Ring.

That also attracted the curiosity of some powerful viewers.

One of them, the famous Federation powerhouse Larry, suddenly appeared on the discussion boards and created an analysis post—

[I’m very interested in this He Yu. If he weren’t from a garbage planet, if his combat power weren’t only 5, I wouldn’t be this curious. A person with combat power 5 defeating Wanrenzhan twice absolutely cannot be called coincidence.

You all say He Yu feeding the potion to the giant fish was stupidity, but I say it was the most correct decision possible under the circumstances! I’m willing to call this giant fish the “He Yu Giant Fish,” because it’s practically becoming He Yu’s equipment at this point.

Without the He Yu Giant Fish, think carefully about how a contestant with combat power 5 could survive at sea. He has nothing. He’s injured. Wanrenzhan’s group now holds a grudge against him. He needs the giant fish.

If the He Yu Giant Fish lives, He Yu may or may not survive.

But if the He Yu Giant Fish dies, He Yu is absolutely dead.

This is an extremely intelligent contestant.

History has proven repeatedly that combat power ratings are the most important thing in this competition, especially in later stages.

So I’ve followed him. I want to see just how far this garbage-planet contestant can go relying on luck and intelligence.

Also, one final suspicion from me—

Did He Yu really not know Wanrenzhan’s group was chasing him?]

The appearance of a powerhouse—and especially one openly praising He Yu—immediately drew even more rebuttals.

“He knew Wanrenzhan was chasing him? Hah. What, do you think He Yu is a god?”

“Mr. Larry, your judgment seems a little questionable lately.”

“I respect Mr. Larry very much, but I truly don’t think He Yu can go far. Since the start of the competition, he’s relied entirely on luck. Can luck stay with him forever? Mr. Larry, even you know that’s impossible.”

...

At that moment, another powerhouse, Qiao, responded with a single sentence—

[<Top Talent Show> is known as the god-making system. It is a competition where strength determines everything, not a game for opportunists to exploit loopholes.]

This powerhouse Qiao even confidently declared:

He Yu would at most survive the preliminary stage.

Once he entered the elimination rounds, he would undoubtedly die.

That opinion represented the mainstream view and gained support from nearly eighty percent of Federation viewers.

Another nineteen-point-nine percent were simply spectators.

Probably only zero-point-one percent actually believed in He Yu.

Almost every trending topic related to He Yu became one of the hottest discussions on the <Top Talent Show> forums, which only made many people even more dissatisfied.

They felt—

Why should a garbage-planet contestant receive this much attention?

Even negative attention was unacceptable.

They cursed He Yu with the ugliest insults imaginable.

But in the process, the name “He Yu” became known by more and more people.

And while they were cursing him—

On the giant fish’s back—

After sleeping for two days, He Yu slowly opened his eyes.
