This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Planting the Red, Green, and Black Camp flags in all twenty-eight cities simultaneously would already be an extremely difficult and dangerous mission.

But something even more difficult—and even more dangerous—was obtaining the Red and Green Camp flags.

If they couldn't obtain the Red and Green Camp inheritances, they couldn't obtain the Red and Green Camp flags either.

Yuan Ze said helplessly, "There's no solution. Since we can't steal the Red and Green Camp inheritances, we certainly can't steal their flags either. There's no way either King would produce that many flags all at once."

In fact, they hadn't even manufactured that many flags yet.

The Green Camp's situation was unknown, but according to the information Qiong and Ling Buchen had gathered, the Red Camp currently had only one spare flag.

Cheng Zhao asked, "So both methods are impossible?"

Eugene looked at He Yu suspiciously.

"You've thought of another solution again, haven't you?"

Planting flags in all twenty-eight cities simultaneously had been He Yu's proposal.

Since he had suggested it, there was no doubt he already had a way to solve the problem.

Everyone looked toward He Yu.

This time, He Yu ignored the black Tangyuan beside him. Facing forward, his little black bean eyes narrowed as he lazily said,

"If we can't steal the flags... then we'll make them bring the flags out themselves."

Everyone: "?"

—He made it sound so damn easy!

Wanrenzhan raised his voice.

"You want them to bring out their own flags? Are you kidding? We can't even leave the castle right now. The moment we step outside, the Red and Green Camps will kill us. Why would they obediently hand their flags over to us?"

Neither camp was stupid.

Were they really going to hand over their flags just because someone asked?

After Wanrenzhan finished speaking, silence fell around him.

No one agreed with him.

He froze slightly before looking at everyone else in confusion.

"What? Don't tell me you all think this could actually work?"

Duan Yuchen coughed.

"...Let's hear how He Yu plans to do it first."

Eugene nodded.

"...Right."

The others all nodded in agreement.

Wanrenzhan instantly fell silent.

He sank into thought.

...Maybe he had objected too early.

He Yu was an incredibly unpredictable person.

Who knew whether he really had some outrageous solution?

He had been the first—and the only—one to jump out and object immediately.

If He Yu actually came up with a workable plan...

...wouldn't he look like a complete idiot?

[Bullet Screen: "HAHAHAHA!!"]

[Bullet Screen: "My god, why does everyone look like they've been slapped in the face so many times they're traumatized?"]

[Bullet Screen: "LMAO. Yesterday they were still arguing with He Yu. Today they've all learned their lesson and instinctively believe him."]

[Bullet Screen: "Wanrenzhan, maybe you should reflect on yourself."]

He Yu subconsciously wanted to push up his glasses again.

Unfortunately, his tiny hands still couldn't do it.

They were simply too short to reach the frames.

This world...

This state...

...had lasted long enough.

It was time to end it.

He moved his tiny hands slightly before speaking slowly.

"Cooperate."

"We cooperate with the Red Camp."

"The Red and Black Camps will conquer the planet together."

Everyone froze.

Their brains couldn't quite process it.

Why would they cooperate with the Red Camp?

There was no point in conquering the planet together.

Were they planning to eliminate the Red Camp afterward?

That wasn't possible.

They couldn't defeat the Red Camp.

It would also take far too much time and effort.

Even Eugene was confused.

What they wanted wasn't to conquer the planet.

They wanted to cover every city with the flags of all three camps...

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, his pupils shook violently.

His voice rose.

"You want to deceive both sides at once?!"

He Yu glanced at him calmly.

"How can cooperation be called deception?"

"It's just that if they betray us, then naturally we have to protect ourselves."

"And since they're destined to betray us anyway..."

"...we're merely protecting ourselves in advance."

That shameless explanation sounded incredibly righteous.

He was clearly plotting against both the Red and Green Camps.

Yet he presented it as though he occupied the moral high ground.

—Utterly shameless.

But everyone loved it.

Everyone: "..."

Good.

Now they understood.

Wanrenzhan: "???"

He still didn't.

His face was completely blank.

"What do you mean? Someone explain it."

The little hammer that was Duan Yuchen swayed as he patiently explained the plan to Wanrenzhan and the other confused toys.

"What He Yu means is that we'll cooperate with the Red and Green Camps separately."

"But neither side can learn about the other."

"From the Red Camp's perspective, the Black Camp wants to cooperate with them and provide an extremely effective method for capturing cities."

"The Red Camp has grudges against both the Black Camp and the Green Camp."

"Compared to the Black Camp's combat strength, they'll actually be more wary of the Green Camp."

"So there's roughly a fifty percent chance they'll agree."

"If the Red Camp agrees, they'll bring their flags and participate in our simultaneous city-capturing operation."

"They'll plant Red Camp flags in the Green Camp's cities."

"All we have to do is make sure that when the Red Camp plants its flag, the Green Camp's flag is still there, and the Black Camp's flag has also been planted."

"If that happens..."

"...we win the gamble."

"The same applies to the Green Camp."

"In other words..."

"There are currently ten cities belonging to the Red Camp."

"We'll lead members of the Red Camp to plant flags in the remaining seventeen Green Camp cities."

"And we'll lead the Green Camp to plant flags in the ten Red Camp cities."

The result...

...would be that every city possessed all three flags.

At first glance, the method sounded feasible.

But Wanrenzhan wasn't actually stupid.

His brows knitted tightly.

"This plan has problems."

"Why would the Red and Green Camps agree to cooperate with us?"

"And when the flags are being planted, how do we make sure all three flags remain standing?"

He stared at Duan Yuchen.

The little hammer swayed helplessly.

"I don't know."

"This is just the method He Yu proposed."

He understood the overall strategy.

He didn't understand the details.

Wanrenzhan turned toward He Yu again.

His eyes burned brightly.

Everyone else wore the same expression.

They needed an explanation.

Leaning comfortably against the black Tangyuan, He Yu narrowed his little black bean eyes.

The corners of his mouth curved upward.

Even though he currently looked like an adorable white rice ball, the moment he made that expression...

...everyone felt the same eerie sensation of being caught in someone's scheme.

Instantly, all of them shivered.

It had to be admitted—

Leaning against a Tangyuan was incredibly comfortable.

Warm.

Soft.

Far more comfortable than any cushion He Yu had ever used.

The only downside...

...was that it kept secretly touching him.

He Yu sighed inwardly before speaking quietly,

"That depends on everyone's abilities."

"We already gambled once today."

"Are you willing to gamble again?"

Wasn't it exactly that?

If they won, they'd advance.

If they lost...

...their heads would roll.

A gamble with life itself.

Cheng Zhao looked ready to cry.

"...Can we choose not to?"

This gamble had an even lower chance of success than today's.

By rough calculation...

...their odds weren't even ten percent.

He Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course."

"Then we'll simply wait until Little Black's energy runs out..."

"...or until the advancement slots are filled."

"Hmm..."

"At least everyone can survive another ten days."

Cheng Zhao's eyes immediately became moist.

"We'll gamble!"

"We'll gamble!"

Yuan Ze took a deep breath before looking at He Yu helplessly.

"Every time I'm on the same team as you..."

"...it's like dancing on the edge of death."

"It's... unbelievably exciting."

Even more terrifying...

...they had gradually become accustomed to it.

Eugene, Duan Yuchen, Gedai, Siya, and the others all nodded in wholehearted agreement.

In the Dawn Training School instance, when they had still been relatively weak, they had gambled alongside He Yu against several S-rank experts.

Back then, Yuan Ze and the others hadn't dared.

They had left early.

In the Who Is the Undercover instance...

Duan Yuchen, Wanrenzhan, Siya, and the others had gambled again while being surrounded by nine different teams.

Death Countdown.

Universal Romance.

It had always been the same.

Either they were dancing on the edge of death...

...or they were on their way there.

Thinking about the past...

Then looking at the present...

It was enough to bring tears to their eyes.

The calf Gedai raised his head.

Still wearing his world-weary expression, he said listlessly,

"So."

"Tell us."

"How exactly are we going to do this?"

[Bullet Screen: "These people have become so much bolder after following He Yu."]

[Bullet Screen: "They're actually willing to try such an absurd solution. They've gradually become He Yu-ified."]

Compared to the preliminary round and the first instance...

These contestants had all undergone "ascension" and "evolution."

Little by little...

They were becoming more like the madman named He Yu.

On the Top Talent Show public discussion forum, the powerhouse Larry tagged another powerhouse, Qiao.

[Qiao, want to bet again? Same wager—one million Federation Credits. I'll bet He Yu's team succeeds. You bet they fail?]

Qiao remained silent.

Larry kept tagging him.

Only after quite some time did Qiao finally appear.

He replied with only a single word—

[Get lost.]

Sitting in his office, Qiao expressionlessly lowered his feet from the desk and sneered.

"Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do."

"You're trying to scam my money again."

Last time, because of He Yu's gamble, Larry had won one million Federation Credits from him.

Then Larry had immediately gone to District One and bought himself a house.

Qiao had nearly died from anger.

Silently cursing Larry for being shameless, he suddenly received a friend request.

He accepted.

A holographic projection of his friend immediately appeared across the desk.

His friend eagerly asked,

"Why aren't you betting?"

"A lot of people aren't optimistic about He Yu this time."

"The difficulty is enormous."

Qiao replied expressionlessly,

"Weren't the previous ones difficult too?"

"You can't judge He Yu by normal standards anymore."

"I'm not betting."

"My face still hurts."

His friend burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, he asked,

"So you've started believing in He Yu?"

"Lots of people are already predicting he'll become this season's ultimate top star."

If He Yu had only been intelligent, that wouldn't have been so frightening.

He was also the greatest support.

If he had only been the greatest support, he still wouldn't have won.

But he was also a terrifying carry.

Everyone still vividly remembered the end of the previous instance.

Sword in hand...

He had cut down the Tree of Life.

He had even cut through the program team's interference.

Qiao shook his head.

"I believe in He Yu."

"He truly is the miracle of this competition."

"Among all the seasons of Top Talent Show..."

"...he's the most astonishing contestant since Li Zhan."

After a pause, his expression became complicated.

"But he won't become the sole top star."

"His strengths are obvious."

"So are his weaknesses."

"When they reach the finals..."

"If everyone else joins forces..."

"...I'm afraid he won't be able to win."

No matter how united the contestants currently appeared...

They would inevitably split apart later.

And when that happened...

The first person everyone would target...

...would definitely be He Yu.

The rules allowed only one survivor.

He Yu stood out far too much.

If they didn't kill him before the finals...

...everyone else would die.

His friend looked puzzled.

"He Yu is too smart not to realize that."

"He had countless chances to kill the other top experts..."

"...but he never acted."

Not only had he refrained from killing them...

He had even deliberately protected people like Zhen Xing and formed alliances with them.

—What exactly was he trying to do?

Qiao also shook his head blankly.

"With someone like He Yu..."

"...no one knows what he's really planning until the very end."

"Honestly..."

"...I'd really like to meet him after he leaves the competition."

"I'd like to talk with him."

As if remembering something, Qiao suddenly asked,

"Has the program team given an explanation yet?"

"About the previous round."

"Why did they interfere?"

"And how did they interfere?"

The Tree of Life had been undeniable proof of the program team's intervention.

He Yu had exposed them on the spot.

His friend replied,

"The King ordered an investigation."

"The result matched the program team's latest explanation."

"They claimed there was no interference."

"It was simply the system's automatic response."

"The Devil Vine Xiao Lü was considered a bug."

"The system automatically eliminated the bug."

"They insist it wasn't intervention."

His friend laughed mockingly.

"As if anyone would believe that."

"There's definitely something wrong with this competition."

"I just don't know why every planet keeps sending so many top experts into it."

Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a long silence, he finally said,

"The higher-ups have concealed plenty of information from ordinary citizens."

"Even people like us only know scattered fragments."

"We still don't know the truth."

His gaze settled on the projection of He Yu.

Even as a Tangyuan, He Yu remained perfectly calm.

As though everything was under his control.

—It almost seemed...

...that He Yu was investigating the truth itself.

Someone trapped inside the game...

Someone who knew absolutely nothing about the past...

...was actually investigating truths that even influential Federation figures like them didn't know.

Could he really accomplish something like that?

Qiao wasn't optimistic.

—

Inside the castle.

Qiong and Ling Buchen returned and joined the discussion.

Qiong had been injured.

She couldn't use any potions.

Fortunately, the wound wasn't fatal.

For now, she was fine.

After returning, she curled up beneath the platform to rest.

That position was closest to the black Tangyuan.

Since the black Tangyuan represented the Black Camp's inheritance...

Perhaps staying close to him would help her recover more quickly.

Ling Buchen rolled beside the platform.

Looking up, he stared seriously at He Yu.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

Gao Jianming was dead.

Torn apart.

He Yu hadn't merely avenged him.

He had also repaid the suffering of having his hand severed.

How could Ling Buchen not be moved?

He gazed eagerly at He Yu.

Then...

A black Tangyuan quietly shifted sideways, deliberately blocking his view.

Those watery blue eyes fixed him with an emotionless death stare.

Ling Buchen: "..."

As expected.

All Blue Eyes were annoying.

They were both Tangyuan.

The white one was adorable.

Elegant.

Perfect.

Irresistible.

Utterly lovable.

So why was the black one...

...so ugly?

Silently, he withdrew his gaze.

The others continued discussing the details.

"Although it's extremely dangerous..."

"...it doesn't seem like we have any other choice."

Duan Yuchen rubbed his forehead helplessly.

They had already worked out the general operational plan.

It was incredibly dangerous.

Yet there was no alternative.

Besides...

After spending so much time dancing on the edge of death with He Yu...

They had gradually become accustomed to it.

It no longer frightened them as much.

Standing there in his mask form, Eugene frowned.

"Among everyone in the Black Camp..."

"The only person important enough that the Kings would actually agree to meet..."

"...is He Yu."

"But there's only one He Yu."

All the other toys were complete nobodies.

Their words carried no weight whatsoever.

Even if the Red and Green Camps agreed to cooperate...

They would only negotiate with He Yu.

—After all, he was the only toy with real influence.

There was only one He Yu.

Yet both negotiations had to happen simultaneously.

They couldn't exactly split He Yu in half.

"Right."

"That's another problem."

Guan Ju nodded.

Everyone turned toward He Yu again.

He Yu remained perfectly calm.

It was obvious he had anticipated this issue long ago.

"I have to meet both the Red and Green Camps."

"I'm the only one who can make them trust us."

"So..."

"...we need two He Yus."

Everyone: "?"

The conversation had suddenly taken a bizarre turn.

They couldn't understand it at all.

How could there possibly be two He Yus?

How were they supposed to create another one?

He Yu turned his gaze toward Eugene.

Looking directly into his eyes, he asked,

"Eugene."

"Have you ever thought about what ability you actually gained after becoming a mask?"

Eugene froze.

His face filled with confusion.

Although becoming a toy greatly weakened everyone...

Each toy also gained the abilities associated with its form.

Ling Buchen had become a stone.

He was almost invisible and excelled at eavesdropping.

Gedai had become a calf.

He possessed tremendous strength and was excellent at physical labor.

The hammers...

The swords...

The spears...

Every toy possessed corresponding abilities.

Even Cheng Zhao, who had become a chain, wasn't completely useless.

Once he wrapped around someone...

They couldn't break free.

But Eugene...

What about the mask?

What was a mask's purpose?

Eugene hesitated.

"I don't know..."

"I haven't noticed any special ability..."

Duan Yuchen flew over to Eugene, carefully examining him.

"I don't see anything unusual either."

"What special ability could a mask possibly have?"

"Hide someone's identity?"

He Yu spoke slowly.

"A mask..."

"...is naturally meant to be worn."

Everyone: "..."

They froze.

Then sudden realization dawned.

Eugene said nothing.

Instead, he quietly took one step backward.

Actually...

He had considered this possibility before.

But he had always felt...

...that whatever special ability a mask possessed...

...probably wasn't one he wanted.

Unfortunately...

He Yu had already seen through him.

There was no hiding it now.

Qiong and the other toys with hands helped place the mask onto the little hammer that was Duan Yuchen.

Immediately...

The little hammer transformed.

Into—

A human Eugene.

Everyone: "!!"

"Holy shit!"

"You can actually become human?"

"Can you use equipment now?"

"My god!"

"You actually turned into a human!"

"Are you Eugene or Duan Yuchen now?"

...

Jealous gazes instantly gathered on Eugene.

They were all toys.

They were all useless.

So why was he the one who could become human?

Even Eugene himself was stunned.

After a long moment, he said,

"I still can't use equipment."

"And this is Duan Yuchen's body."

"It's only my consciousness."

He Yu narrowed his eyes, watching him closely.

Cheng Zhao extended one of his chains in confusion.

"But that's obviously your appearance."

"How is it Duan Yuchen's body?"

Eugene remained silent.

Instead, Duan Yuchen's familiar voice came from within the body.

"This isn't Eugene."

"It's simply a toy transformed into a human."

"It only looks like Eugene."

"I can feel this is my body..."

"...but I can't control it."

It was Duan Yuchen's body.

Yet Duan Yuchen himself couldn't control it.

The controller...

...was Eugene.

That was the true ability of the mask.

It seemed useless.

Yet in reality...

...it was tremendously useful.

Gedai had been extremely jealous moments earlier.

Now the jealousy disappeared completely.

His eyes lit up.

"I understand."

"Human Eugene is just a transformation."

"So you should also be able to transform into someone else."

"For example..."

"...the person we need most."

"He Yu."

Eugene remained motionless.

Only after a while did he blink innocently.

"I can't become He Yu."

His silver hair.

Black eyes.

Perfectly designed facial features.

Mechanical arm.

Every detail of his body was flawless.

The collision of overwhelming power and aesthetic beauty.

It looked exactly like his original Mechanical Planet body.

There was almost no difference.

Looking innocent, he was convincing enough that people instinctively wanted to believe him.

He Yu replied expressionlessly,

"You can."

"Don't lie to me."

Eugene: "..."

The innocent expression collapsed.

He burst into tears.

"I don't want to become you!"

"I don't want to carry out such a dangerous mission!"

Being a mask was unfortunate.

But at least he could still walk.

And unlike becoming a Tangyuan...

...it didn't ruin his handsome appearance.

Turning into He Yu not only damaged his image...

He also had to carry out an incredibly dangerous mission!

Negotiating with the Kings of the Red and Green Camps wasn't easy.

If they decided the Black Camp was unnecessary...

They could simply kill them on the spot.

How dangerous was that?

He Yu merely smiled.

He said nothing.

Everyone looked at Eugene.

Cheng Zhao comforted him.

"It's fine."

"If you fail..."

"...we'll all die with you."

Eugene fixed him with a death stare.

"...Thanks."

"...That wasn't comforting at all."

With a long sigh, he gritted his teeth.

Then...

He transformed into another plump white Tangyuan.

Standing beside He Yu...

He looked like a perfect copy.

In the end...

He surrendered.

[Bullet Screen: "HAHAHA another Tangyuan!"]

[Bullet Screen: "I'm eating another big, white, tender Tangyuan!"]

The black Tangyuan looked at Eugene.

Then looked at He Yu.

When looking at Eugene...

His face was filled with disgust.

When looking at He Yu...

His expression became gentle, harmless, incredibly adorable...

...and shamelessly biased.

Eugene lowered his head.

"...I knew it'd end up like this."

That was exactly why he hadn't wanted to transform.

Originally, he had planned to cling to He Yu's thigh.

Instead...

He had become He Yu himself.

Now he was the one dancing on the edge of death.

Gedai smiled.

"Eugene."

"It's all for advancing."

"Think positively."

"Look at He Yu."

"He's sacrificed even more."

The smile on Gedai's face widened.

"The capable should do more."

"Since you've become a useful mask..."

"...you should fulfill your purpose."

"That's right."

"Eugene, thank you for your sacrifice."

Siya laughed.

Eugene ignored them.

Looking dejectedly at He Yu, he asked,

"What do we do next?"

He Yu replied,

"We rest tonight."

"Tomorrow we'll split into two groups."

"We'll negotiate with the Red and Green Camps simultaneously."

Eugene couldn't help asking,

"What if I fail?"

"What if I'm captured..."

"...or killed?"

He Yu looked at him.

"Then..."

"...I'll have no choice but to sympathize with you."

—A little sympathy.

But not much.

Eugene: "..."

Damn it.

After saying that, He Yu rode his Wind Fire Wheels toward the entrance to observe the situation outside.

Eugene stood there blankly.

After a long pause, he shouted,

"He Yu!"

"Give me one of your wheels!"

He Yu glanced outside.

The enemy was still relentlessly attacking the castle.

Although the barrier remained sturdy...

Little Black's energy was limited.

Without looking back, He Yu replied casually,

"The wheels can't be separated."

Eugene wanted to kill someone.

In the end...

He endured it.

He started "walking."

The plump Tangyuan bounced across the ground.

Boing.

Boing.

Boing.

Each bounce propelled him forward.

Everyone watched.

Watching the plump white Tangyuan bounce across the floor like a rubber ball.

Its elasticity was astonishing.

Every bounce sent it high into the air.

The movements were light.

Graceful.

Not ugly at all.

Actually...

...quite adorable.

But the moment they remembered...

...that it was Eugene...

It immediately became hilarious.

Gedai stared in a daze.

Apparently aware of how ridiculous he looked, Eugene glared angrily.

"What are you all staring at?"

"Haven't you ever seen a Tangyuan before?!"

Everyone: "..."

"So this is why He Yu absolutely refuses to walk by himself."

He Yu happened to turn around just then and saw Eugene bouncing toward him.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

After a long pause, he finally said,

"...Find him some kind of flying equipment."

"Let him fly instead."

—It was painful to look at.

—No matter what...

He absolutely refused to spend this entire instance bouncing around.
