This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The instance deathtrap prepared by the mastermind had arrived.

The only question was, who was this deathtrap primarily targeting this time... Was it still He Yu?

He Yu put away Siya's whistle and slowly stood up.

Zhen Xing, Ling Buchen, Wanrenzhan, Bo Jingshan, Eugene, Qiong, Duan Yuchen, Gedai, Zhante, Yuan Ze, and Tang Ke—the eleven of them stood up as well.

Zhante stood beside Ling Buchen and glanced at the guqin in Ling Buchen's arms. He clicked his tongue twice and sighed with emotion. "I really never expected you to become this powerful. You don't need to torment other people anymore."

For a moment, his gaze grew distant.

He still remembered the beginning of <Top Talent Show>. Ling Buchen's combat power had been so terrible that he had bound Zhante to himself as a teammate, forcing Zhante to help him. For Zhante, that period had been extremely dark...

But now, Ling Buchen had high personal combat power and high equipment combat power, as well as an energy cultivation method. He had already grown into a warrior capable of sheltering others from the wind and rain, no longer needing anyone else's protection.

Ling Buchen turned his head to look back at him and blinked, his face as innocent as ever. "We're teammates now too. Teammates are supposed to help each other, so you'd better not be an undercover agent."

Zhante: "...Fuck."

He rubbed the back of his head, suddenly feeling once again the terror of being dominated by the outrageously lucky Ling Buchen back then...

He nearly jumped up with his long staff in hand, every hair on his body standing on end as he raised his voice. "Don't fucking accuse me! And stop looking at me like that. You're giving me the creeps!"

Seeing this, Ling Buchen raised an eyebrow and looked away.

Zhante muttered under his breath, "So what if you're ridiculously lucky? What's so great about having good luck?"

Beside them, Eugene interjected faintly, "It really is something. Look at how lucky Wanrenzhan was last season. He was the only one who survived. This season, he's not even the strongest, and he's not particularly smart either, yet he's still alive and well. Now that's what you call ridiculously lucky..."

[Bullet Screen: "Ling Buchen and Wanrenzhan, our universally acknowledged lucky bastards."]

[Bullet Screen: "Speaking of which, which one of them is luckier?"]

[Bullet Screen: "Wanrenzhan gets especially lucky at the most crucial moments, while Ling Buchen is lucky overall. I'm seriously jealous. Unlucky He God can't even begin to compare."]

[Bullet Screen: "Speaking of which, I vaguely remember He God having a Luck Reversal Bead that he always carries with him. Why hasn't it done anything?"]

[Bullet Screen: "...Is it possible his luck was actually pretty decent to begin with? And the Luck Reversal Bead reversed it into bad luck?"]

[Bullet Screen: "Fuck, then He God got seriously screwed over."]

Wanrenzhan was squeezing his way toward He Yu. Taking advantage of Ling Buchen turning to look at Zhante, he successfully squeezed Ling Buchen aside and took the spot next to He Yu, looking extremely smug.

Hearing Eugene's words, he turned toward him, raised his brows aggressively, and snorted. "What? Jealous of me, robot?"

Eugene: "...Who would be jealous of a muscle-brained idiot like you?"

His beautiful black eyes rolled. His silver hair shifted slightly, and his perfectly modeled face looked exceptionally handsome beneath the Transfer Station's bright lights, practically gleaming.

Wanrenzhan snorted. "You're the muscle-brained idiot. You people from Mechanical Planet evolved from household robots in the first place. You were originally made to serve—"

His voice abruptly stopped when Yuan Ze tugged at him.

Sure enough, when he looked up, both Eugene and Gedai were staring at him with dark expressions. Even several Mechanical Planet people nearby who had overheard him were looking coldly at Wanrenzhan with their flawless, exquisitely modeled faces.

Wanrenzhan never admitted defeat and was stubborn as hell. He was about to say something else when Duan Yuchen coughed and spoke first. "Stop arguing. Intensifying internal conflicts before we've even entered the instance is practically asking to die."

He shot Wanrenzhan a warning look.

Everyone had something they absolutely could not tolerate. The Mechanical Planet people, who were usually aloof and kept to themselves, hated being treated like machines more than anything, and hated being regarded as "robots" even more.

Household machines in the Federation were rarely manufactured in human form precisely because of Mechanical Planet.

Just as you couldn't insult District One's combat power, District Three's inheritance, District Four's potions, or District Five's equipment-forging abilities, deliberately poking at something people hated was nothing but pointless provocation and deliberately making enemies.

Yuan Ze stood beside Zhen Xing. Watching the scene, he shrugged. "Looks like the possibility of there being an undercover agent is still making everyone uneasy. They're subconsciously becoming more aggressive."

Hearing this, Zhen Xing's hand, which had been playing with a small Rubik's Cube, paused. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Ze, his voice calm. "I'm afraid that's not the only reason. The next instance is fifty down to ten."

And there were twelve of them.

Yuan Ze froze.

The next instant, a chill shot through his entire body and every hair stood on end.

His dark blue eyes trembled, yet his body remained completely still. Even his long brown hair seemed to have frozen in place.

That's right...

There were only ten spots in the finals!

The others were making a commotion nearby, but He Yu didn't spare them any attention. Instead, he stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on—

Qiong.

Qiong raised her head and smiled at him. He Yu smiled back, and his smile made Qiong extremely uneasy.

He Yu was as slender and frail as ever, his skin pale. Even his beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked exceptionally gentle and harmless at this moment, yet that faint, clear gaze made Qiong feel as though he had already seen straight through her.

She forced herself to meet He Yu's eyes.

He Yu's gaze swept over Qiong, then moved to her right hand...

Her little finger.

As his intelligence increased, He Yu's memory had become no worse than that of the Mechanical Planet people, who could remember almost everything they saw. Many things that had happened long ago were still perfectly clear in his mind.

For example, the Truth segment in the <Love for All> instance.

Siya had chosen a troublesome question for Qiong, asking her about her greatest secret. Qiong's answer at the time had been baffling. She had said—

Right hand, little finger.

Noticing He Yu's gaze, Qiong's body visibly stiffened. A moment later, she slowly raised her hand and pressed down the brim of her hat. When she lowered it again, she naturally slipped both hands into her pockets, then tilted her head and smiled at He Yu, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks.

She was short and thin, with delicate features. Compared with a glamorous woman like Siya, she looked more like an underage girl, completely harmless.

But she was no genuinely weak little girl.

She had undergone specialized training, carried enormous expectations, possessed hacking skills surpassing even those of Mechanical Planet, and had extraordinarily high combat power and intelligence—

The foremost agent of District Four and Chaos Planet.

He Yu chuckled softly and silently mouthed two words at Qiong:

Trump card.

Qiong paused, then gave the slightest nod, almost imperceptible.

All of this happened within the blink of an eye. The two immediately and tacitly looked away from each other. Not only did the audience fail to notice anything, even the teammates beside them noticed nothing.

The lively commotion diluted the tense atmosphere of the Transfer Station, but only for a few minutes.

Soon, the group felt a pulling force and disappeared from the Transfer Station.

—The eve of <Top Talent Show>'s decisive battle had begun.

-

[Welcome to the second half of the <Top Talent Show> semifinals: Fifty Down to Ten!]

[Four-fifths of the contestants will be eliminated in this round. Only a maximum of ten lucky contestants can make it into the finals and enter the ultimate battle at the pinnacle! Places are limited and the slaughter will be fierce. Contestants, it is time for your final desperate struggle!]

[The theme of the second half of the semifinals is—<Ferry>]

[You will board a cruise ship named "Death" and depart from the harbor, cross the dangerous Gama Strait, and reach Legendary Island. Contestants who successfully set foot on Legendary Island will advance to the finals!]

[Note: A maximum of ten contestants may set foot on Legendary Island. If the number exceeds ten, everyone will be eliminated!]

[To avoid collective erasure, please eliminate the excess contestants in advance.]

[Upon entering the instance, you will receive one of the following identities: VIP Passenger X2, Captain X1, Helmsman X1, Ordinary Passenger X40, Security Guard X4, Waiter X2. There are six identities in total, and their status aboard the cruise ship will be determined according to the order listed above.]

[Every identity must act according to the rules of that identity. When someone violates the rules and regulations, a person one rank above them has the right to punish them.]

[That is: VIP Passengers may punish anyone aboard the ship who violates the rules. During punishment, the target's defense and combat power will be sealed. The Captain may punish rule-breaking Helmsmen, Ordinary Passengers, Security Guards, and Waiters, and so on.]

[Note: If a rule violation goes undiscovered or no one chooses to punish it, the offender will escape punishment.]

[Mission for this round: Set foot on Legendary Island alive.]

[There are many unknown secrets aboard the cruise ship waiting to be explored. The journey across Gama Strait will be filled with constant turmoil. Contestants, please fully enjoy this collision of danger and **, and enjoy this thrilling journey.]

[There will be no voting in this round and no time limit. Anyone who reaches the island advances. Pay special attention: if "more than ten contestants reach the island," everyone will be eliminated.]

[<Ferry> is about to begin. The victor becomes king, the loser dies. Flowers and applause await you at the finish line!]

[The competition officially begins.]

He Yu slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

This was the instance the mastermind had spent so long preparing. On the surface, it seemed extremely simple. Summed up, it was—

The instance was called <Ferry>. Fifty people were aboard the same cruise ship, each of them possessing an identity. Those identities were separated by rank. As long as they survived aboard the cruise ship until it crossed Gama Strait and they set foot on "Legendary Island," they would successfully advance.

If more than ten people reached the island, everyone would be eliminated.

If you broke the rules aboard the ship, someone with a higher-ranking identity could easily execute you. With your defense and combat power sealed, you could practically be killed with a single slash.

From a contestant's perspective, all they needed to do in this instance was form an alliance of ten people, kill the remaining forty, and maintain peace among those ten until they reached the island.

—That perfectly suited He Yu's team's usual methods.

But would it really be that simple?

The existence of identity "ranks" and the "right to execute" others was destined to plunge the cruise ship into chaos. Not to mention the "unknown secrets" and the Gama Strait filled with "storms"...

This instance would be very challenging!

He Yu raised a hand and pushed up his glasses, looking ahead.

At that moment, he was standing at the entrance to the cruise ship. Ahead was a noisy harbor filled with passengers dressed in all sorts of clothing, along with two security guards maintaining order...

Almost all of them were contestants.

He Yu turned his head to the side, and his gaze happened to meet Gedai's on the other side of the entrance.

The two fell silent simultaneously.

He Yu swept his gaze over Gedai, taking in everything he was wearing. As someone from Mechanical Planet, Gedai was hardly any less handsome than Eugene. Both possessed perfectly modeled faces and flawless physiques.

Unlike Eugene, who always looked somewhat roguish, Gedai's face practically had four words written across it—

Wild and unruly.

His gray hair was neatly combed back, his facial proportions were exceptionally precise, and a silver marking unique to Mechanical Planet ran across his forehead, making him extremely striking.

Of course, He Yu didn't linger on that familiar face. He was looking at Gedai's clothes.

White shirt, black vest, black tie, suit trousers...

A very familiar uniform.

He Yu: "...Waiter?"

Gedai's face darkened. "Thanks. You too."

—Excellent. They had taken the two lowest-ranking identities aboard the cruise ship.

The two stood on opposite sides of the cruise ship's entrance. As waiters, they welcomed every passenger who stepped aboard. This instance clearly had a bit of role-playing built into it.

"Hooooonk—"

A loud horn echoed across the harbor, drawn out and resonant. The cruise ship was brightly illuminated, and the harbor staff shouted loudly, "Passengers for the Death cruise ship, please board! Passengers for the Death cruise ship, please board!"

Not far away, Zhen Xing and the others all came over, quickly heading toward He Yu.

A new instance meant new rules and a new order. They needed to discuss them.

Hearing the announcement, Ling Buchen spoke as he walked, "Death? Who would willingly board a ship with a name like that? The setting of this instance isn't very logical."

—Just hearing it sounded ominous.

Beside him, Yuan Ze gave him a strange look. "What's wrong with that name? Death, Hell, Peril, Life and Death... Those are all pretty popular ferries. They give you the full experience."

Ling Buchen: "?"

They had already reached a spot not far from He Yu. Hearing this, He Yu raised his brows slightly. "The Federation and Blue Star are still quite different. These are people capable of creating <Top Talent Show>, after all."

Ling Buchen: "..."

He looked utterly speechless. "Fine, I get it."

The people of the Federation pursued combat power and strength. The more thrilling something was, the more they liked it.

Otherwise, they never would have invented <Top Talent Show>, where only one person out of tens of millions could advance, much less had countless people sign up every single season.

This season had even invited countless people from garbage planets, all for the sake of increasing the bloodshed and **.

The Death really existed.

The more dangerous and thrilling it was, the more satisfied they became.
