This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

It wasn’t that He Yu was so bold he refused to think of a way to escape.

It was that right now, he simply couldn’t leave.

That forced evasive maneuver earlier had not only drained all his strength, it had also—

strained his muscles.

This was no longer the body he had trained for ten years. Its flexibility wasn’t nearly as strong as before. That series of movements had looked graceful and effortless, but the consequences were severe.

With difficulty, He Yu removed his glasses and narrowed his eyes against the light, looking up toward the sky overhead.

His pale, beautiful face carried an almost fragile sense of brokenness, the kind that easily stirred protective instincts in others, making people want to place the whole world into his hands.

But anyone who met those deep, mesmerizing eyes would realize there was no weakness or melancholy inside them.

On the contrary—

they were filled with unyielding determination and madness.

His name was He Yu.

But he was not the He Yu of this world.

From childhood, he had practiced acrobatics. Later, he joined an entertainment company as a trainee. After ten years of brutal training, he debuted through a survival show as the uncontested center, his vote count crushing second place by an overwhelming margin, becoming the first idol in the country whose professional ability completely dominated the global industry.

Ever since his debut, “top star” had become synonymous with He Yu.

He had even created an era that belonged solely to him.

But he was never satisfied.

In his second year after debut, He Yu switched careers and became an actor.

At the time, countless people mocked him. Some even called his decision to pursue acting “an idol’s disgrace.”

And yet, in only two years, He Yu used his work and talent to prove something to everyone—

he was a born actor.

Best Actor awards for television, Best Actor awards for film, worldwide fame—

every step he took left people stunned, yet somehow also felt inevitable.

Last night, He Yu had been awarded the title of “Hall-Level Actor of Aqua Blue Star.”

Within that industry, he had already reached the absolute peak.

He was the pride of countless fans.

But for He Yu himself, after last night, he seemed to lose interest in that world entirely.

And unexpectedly, just after losing interest, he went to sleep and woke up in another world.

The setting of this world was very similar to his original one.

The difference was that in his world, there had been many countries across the globe.

In this world, Blue Star had only one nation.

The “He Yu” here had also debuted through a survival show.

But unlike him, the original owner of this body debuted in second place solely because “his face was outstanding while his professional skills were mediocre.”

Moreover, the original He Yu had absolutely no idol self-awareness whatsoever. He spoke recklessly and without restraint. His popularity peaked during the survival show period, then rapidly declined after debut until he faded into complete obscurity.

He only signed up for Top Talent Show for publicity.

He never expected the higher-ups to actually select him.

The original owner had nearly collapsed from despair.

Top Talent Show truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It truly offered access to countless supernatural abilities.

But among ten million contestants across the universe—

only one person would leave alive.

Everyone knew the Universe Federation had forced Blue Star to send ten thousand contestants simply to serve as cannon fodder.

Just so others could watch them embarrass themselves.

Watch them die.

The treatment Blue Star people received here was obvious enough.

The original owner never believed he would be that lucky. If he had possessed the courage to kill himself, he never would have entered in the first place.

Once someone registered for Top Talent Show and received a sequence number, they would automatically be pulled into the competition when the time arrived.

There was no way to hide.

And once inside, there were only two outcomes—

either rise to the very top and become the sole victor, the universe’s ultimate top star, and leave alive—

or die inside the competition forever.

Compared to the other races of the Universe Federation, Blue Star people possessed absolutely no advantages.

Although contestants couldn’t bring anything with them into the competition, making things seem fair on the surface, those aliens with supernatural abilities were still overwhelmingly stronger than Blue Star humans.

Their natural combat power surpassed several Blue Star people combined.

They could create their own weapons and medicine.

Some could even use innate racial abilities.

Passing stages was many times easier for them than for contestants from weaker planets.

Top Talent Show was an extremely cruel competition.

The rules were simple.

Like clearing stages in a game, as long as contestants completed the mission, they could advance to the next round.

At the same time, after the preliminary rounds, Universe Federation citizens received one support vote during every advancement phase. Before the finals, contestants with enough support votes could skip stages entirely and directly advance to the next round.

—Which meant popularity was extremely important.

Most of the time, contestants could kill one another and loot the equipment their opponents dropped.

They could also cooperate to complete missions and receive rewards, or kill monsters and gather equipment.

He Yu still didn’t know what the later stages looked like.

But the preliminary round mission had been announced to all contestants the instant the competition began—

[Reach land.]

Holding sequence number 2333, all contestants were dragged into this world the moment the competition started.

This world was called Sea World.

As the name implied, the world was almost entirely ocean.

And within that ocean lived countless terrifying monsters.

Savage.

Violent.

Deadly.

Yet within this hopeless Sea World existed a single artificial island.

It was the contestants’ only chance.

The island could hold one million people.

Once the number of people who reached shore hit one million, everyone else would remain trapped in Sea World forever and become food for the sea monsters.

Ten million contestants.

One million survivors.

Nine million eliminated.

This round required no points.

As long as you found the island and reached land, you lived.

Fail to find the island—

or fail to reach shore—

and you died.

He Yu: “......”

A survival selection... in the middle of the ocean?

This was literally a “real” sea-selection round.

The original owner could swim.

Unfortunately, his abilities were too poor. Not long after entering Sea World, his legs became tangled in seaweed and he was dragged into darkness.

Now He Yu had become him.

And he was about to participate in this competition in his place.

For some unknown reason, after arriving here, He Yu discovered that he seemed to have obtained a special ability different from both the original owner and the other contestants—

he could see the bullet comments.

Those densely packed floating words had never appeared before the original owner. The rules never mentioned contestants being able to see comments either.

So was this some kind of special ability gained through transmigration into this terrifying world?

He Yu took a slow breath.

Then he raised a hand, covering half his face—

and also hiding the growing excitement in his eyes.

Yes.

Excitement.

In He Yu’s original world, anyone who truly knew him understood one thing—

he was a born “camera performer” and “behavioral artist.”

As long as cameras existed, he became a perfect god.

Or rather—

he could disguise himself as one.

He Yu loved cameras.

He enjoyed attention.

His lifelong pursuit was “the world’s gaze.”

He loved being watched by everyone.

And he loved the process of gradually obtaining that attention even more.

And now, the attention brought by Top Talent Show was no longer merely from “the world.”

It came from the entire universe.

Was there any better opportunity than this?

Such an opportunity was right in front of him.

How could He Yu not feel excited?

He had only just achieved a “perfect clear” in his previous world, and now he had instantly entered an upgraded version of the starting stage.

The flames inside him seemed to ignite all at once.

As for the 99,999,999-to-1 chance of dying in this competition?

He Yu wasn’t afraid at all.

Compared to death—

he feared becoming ordinary far more.

Thinking about how this was a competition watched by the entire universe, his body trembled slightly.

Thrill and madness rising from the depths of his soul reflected within his eyes.

So—

he covered them.

Bullet comments:

“What’s this guy... doing?”

“Don’t tell me he’s about to go to sleep?”

“For fuck’s sake... does he think he’s not dying fast enough? What a waste of that flexible body.”

“I’m leaving first. Message me when he dies. I want to come back and watch.”

“I’m staying in this livestream room today. I refuse to leave until I watch him die!”

...

The Blue Star livestream conference room also fell silent.

After a very, very long time, Zheng Ke finally spoke.

“Switch streams. Let’s go watch Bo Jingshan and the others.”

They genuinely couldn’t keep watching this livestream anymore.

He Yu had barely escaped death—

yet instead of finding a way to escape, he actually fell asleep?

Was he waiting to die?!

They didn’t want to watch Blue Star contestants die.

So they left.

—

There were barely any bullet comments in He Yu’s livestream room.

But if someone looked at the viewer count in the upper-left corner, they would discover something astonishing—

the number was shockingly high, even surpassing some outstanding contestants from the Federation’s main planets.

Moreover, the number constantly fluctuated, proving that huge numbers of viewers were continuously entering and leaving.

—After all, this was currently the only livestream where someone was sleeping on top of a dangerous giant fish.

Someone entered the livestream and asked:

“He’s still sleeping?”

A viewer replied:

“...Yeah. Still sleeping.”

That person left.

Two hours later, they returned.

“He’s STILL sleeping?!”

The comments replied:

“...Yep. Hasn’t moved at all. If the livestream room hadn’t still been active, we’d suspect he was already dead.”

That person: “......”

Even inside Blue Star’s livestream conference room, the leaders constantly switched between streams.

They would watch other contestants for a while—

then uncontrollably switch back again to check whether He Yu was still lying there.

It was incredibly bizarre.

This guy...

he was addictive.

On Top Talent Show’s discussion forum, a topic quietly appeared—

It’s been two hours and he’s still sleeping... Please kick me when he wakes up, thanks.

2L: Two hours and five minutes. Still sleeping.

3L: Two hours and ten minutes. Still sleeping.

4L: ??? What are you people talking about? Explain.

5L: Link: He Yu’s livestream room. Go look yourself.

6L: I came back after watching. I’m deeply shocked. Also kick me when he wakes up.

...

321L: HE FINALLY WOKE UP!!

322L: A nobody from some trash planet is worth this much attention? Lol.

323L: Agreed. A trash-planet contestant who isn’t even a Universe Federation citizen—why are so many people watching him? There’s nothing special about him.

324L: Seriously don’t understand why the organizers invited this garbage from garbage planets.

...

The Blue Star viewers who could only watch but couldn’t reply were so angry their faces turned green after seeing people call Blue Star a “trash planet.”

Unfortunately, Blue Star still lacked Universe Federation citizenship.

They couldn’t even argue back online.

Inside a Blue Star dormitory—

Zhang Yu slammed the table furiously.

“Why the hell are these people mocking Blue Star?!”

“There’s nothing we can do. Those Federation citizens think they’re superior to everyone else! I just hope one of our Blue Star contestants can slap them in the face and make Blue Star proud!”

His roommate took a deep breath.

“Let’s watch Bo Jingshan, Zhao Pingqi, and Gao Jianming’s streams instead. They have a real chance of making a name for themselves.”

One was a special forces soldier.

One was a boxing champion.

And one was a serial killer.

All of them were contestants people had high hopes for.

The last one might be human garbage, but entering this competition was another form of punishment for him anyway. In terms of ability alone, he would probably survive longer than most Blue Star contestants.

Zhang Yu paused slightly.

After a while, he muttered:

“...Should we maybe keep watching He Yu first? He opened his eyes. I want to see how he reacts.”

His roommate: “......”

His fingers smoothly switched the stream back while he muttered under his breath:

“Don’t be fooled by how much attention He Yu has right now. In reality, he probably won’t even survive the preliminary round.”

Zhang Yu sighed.

“The giant fish is about to dive underwater... He Yu... sigh. It’s just a shame. Those two evasive moves earlier were unbelievably flexible. Such a waste. Really such a waste.”

He shook his head, already convinced He Yu was doomed.

—

After lying there for five hours, He Yu finally opened his eyes just as the giant fish prepared to descend into the ocean depths.

The viewers had already waited for him for five whole hours.

Their sunk cost was simply too high.

As a result, within only five minutes of He Yu opening his eyes, massive numbers of viewers flooded into the livestream room. The viewer count skyrocketed, even pushing the cover image of He Yu’s stream toward the center area of the selection interface.

There were simply too many contestants in Top Talent Show.

When viewers browsed streams, countless livestream covers appeared before them.

The higher a contestant’s viewer count and support level, the larger and more centered their cover became, making them easier to notice.

As for contestants with low viewership and few support votes, their tiny cover images were buried among endless edge sections. People had to manually enlarge and search for them.

The preliminary round didn’t require voting yet.

So stream placement depended entirely on viewer count.

He Yu’s livestream had already entered the third-tier viewing circle.

There were still many famous contestants above him—

but even reaching this position was enough to make countless contestants jealous beyond belief.

The Blue Star leaders felt incredibly conflicted.

Yes.

The moment He Yu opened his eyes, they had switched back to his stream too.

—They were curious.

Far too curious to resist.

On-screen, He Yu sat quietly atop the giant fish’s head.

Then he slowly picked up the pair of “stylish but impractical” glasses he had removed earlier and put them back on.

His posture was far too calm and elegant.

It was as though he wasn’t sitting atop a terrifying giant fish at all, but leisurely resting at home.

General Ye Kaijun was so anxious he nearly shouted at the screen:

“Run already! It’s five in the afternoon! The giant fish is about to dive underwater!”

Beside him, Wei Jiaguo loosened the fists he had unconsciously clenched from nervousness and spoke hoarsely:

“He can’t hear you...”

Ye Kaijun froze.

Then he let out a long sigh and slumped weakly back into his chair.

He Yu adjusted his glasses and straightened his hair and clothes.

His skin was pale as jade.

His face was exquisitely beautiful.

His facial features and jawline were smooth and flawless.

Combined with the delicate rimless glasses, he seemed to glow beneath the sunlight.

Expressionless, he looked cold to the extreme.

The five hours of rest had eased the strain in his muscles considerably.

And he had also realized something—

he couldn’t see the bullet comments all the time.

It was random.

For example, right now, he couldn’t see them at all.

Based on information accidentally revealed through audience discussions, his “occasional ability to see bullet comments” truly was unique.

Other contestants didn’t have it.

Neither the viewers nor the Top Talent Show system knew he could see them.

A bug?

An unreliable bug that worked sometimes and failed others?

He Yu lowered his gaze slightly.

Although he couldn’t currently see the comments, he could still guess what they were saying.

Five in the afternoon.

The giant fish was descending toward the ocean depths.

The comments were undoubtedly filled with people waiting for He Yu to die—

“Waiting for this guy to die. Lol. He had five whole hours to escape and didn’t move. Serves him right.”

“Same. Waiting for him to die.”

“This guy’s hopeless. Die faster already, I want to go watch Eugene from Mechanical Planet!”

...

They were completely convinced He Yu was dead.

The giant fish fully submerged beneath the water.

More than half of He Yu’s body was already underwater. If the fish descended any further, he would no longer be able to remain balanced atop its head.

—And the giant fish would discover him.

At that moment, a sharp gleam flashed through He Yu’s eyes.

Suddenly, he removed the buckle from his jeans belt, gripped it tightly, and stabbed downward.

The buckle pierced into the giant fish’s flesh.

He carved out a small chunk of meat and threw it far away.

A useless but exceptionally sharp belt buckle?

Since the system specifically labeled it “exceptionally sharp,” it truly was useful.

Splash!

A soft sound echoed as the chunk of meat hit the distant ocean surface, sending ripples across the water.

Zheng Ke abruptly stood up, staring at the screen in disbelief.

“Has he gone insane?! Is he provoking the giant fish?!”
