This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Everyone’s eyes lit up in an instant.

Gedai unconsciously stepped forward and raised his voice. “What way?”

He Yu looked at Duan Yuchen. His lips parted slightly, and in a calm yet resounding voice, he uttered two words: “Forging.”

Duan Yuchen froze, then immediately understood.

He swallowed and asked tentatively, “You mean... we use the material from the cruise ship’s outer shell to forge a new ship?”

He Yu nodded. “Yes. Since the material of the cruise ship’s outer shell can withstand the corrosive rain, we’ll use this material to forge a new lifeboat. It only needs to accommodate the twelve of us. The smaller the hull, the longer it can last.”

Yuan Ze’s eyes brightened. He immediately asked, “How feasible is it?”

He Yu looked perfectly composed. “If I proposed it, then it must be feasible.”

He lowered his head to look at the data recorded in his notebook, raised a hand to push up his glasses, and sat there as steady and reliable as an anchor holding the sea in place. His cool voice remained calm. “Based on the data you provided, as well as the cruise ship’s own data, I calculated the volume of special material currently remaining on the cruise ship. With a ship capable of carrying twelve people as the goal, the feasibility is ninety-nine point nine percent.”

He looked at everyone. “Of course, because of material loss and losses during the forging process, even if we only forge a small boat for twelve people, we won’t be able to extend the time by much. It can only last until ten tomorrow morning.”

Eight o’clock was when they would leave Gama Strait, and nine o’clock was when they would reach Legendary Island. If the ship could last until ten, that gave them an extra hour.

Compared with the current cruise ship, which could only last until five, reforging it meant gaining five additional hours!

That was five whole hours.

Five hours that could overturn fate!

Zhante breathed rapidly, his eyes shining. “Even being able to stay in Gama Strait for one more hour would be good. At the very least, we’d have another hour to think. This is the best solution we can possibly come up with.”

In fact, if He Yu had not suggested reforging the ship, they would never have thought of any solution at all.

As a forging master, Duan Yuchen understood forging. Unlike everyone else, who was simply delighted, he had many doubts. Frowning, he asked, “What about the actual feasibility of forging it? How are we supposed to remove the special material?”

The special material enveloping the cruise ship was currently resisting the corrosion. If they removed the outer shell, the cruise ship would immediately be destroyed under the corrosive rain. Would they even survive long enough then?

He Yu shook his head. “You should be able to see it too. There’s simply no time to remove it and then forge it.”

Everyone else stopped talking and silently watched the two of them. They knew only the basics of forging, so they neither interrupted nor blindly interfered.

Duan Yuchen pressed him. “If we can’t remove it, then how are we supposed to forge a lifeboat?”

He Yu’s voice was certain. “Forge it directly.”

Duan Yuchen’s breath caught. He had already had this suspicion just now, but he had refused to believe it. Forging the outermost material from inside the ship, and even forging it into an entirely new vessel...

This was fucking unheard of!

His eyes widened in disbelief. “We’re inside the cruise ship, yet we’re supposed to forge the material of its outer shell? How would that even work? I’ve never seen a forging method like that!”

He Yu blinked. “Neither have I.”

Duan Yuchen: “...”

—Then how the hell do you dare come up with it?!

He Yu’s voice was filled with **. “That’s why we need to innovate. If we succeed, look, we’ll have created another new forging method, helped us successfully clear the instance, and opened the door to innovation in forging at the same time.”

Duan Yuchen: “...”

Everyone: “............”

He took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. “How confident are you in this method?”

He Yu answered with perfect confidence, “Fifty percent.”

Duan Yuchen’s eyes widened. “Didn’t you just say ninety-nine point nine percent?!”

He Yu looked innocent. “I said that under the premise that the forging succeeds, the feasibility is ninety-nine point nine percent.”

Duan Yuchen: “...”

Everyone: “............”

He Yu glanced at the time and smiled slightly. “Want to try?”

Duan Yuchen was about to cry. His voice cracked as he shouted, “There’s no other way!”

—There was absolutely no other way. They could only try!

Ling Buchen comforted everyone. “Look on the bright side. A fifty-percent chance of success is already very high.”

Everyone: “...”

—Thank you. That was not comforting at all.

Still, after dancing along the edge of death with He Yu so many times, a fifty-percent chance of success really was quite high.

Fifty percent. A whole half!

Although they felt that the success rate of such an unheard-of forging method should be absurdly low, since He Yu said there was a fifty-percent chance, he probably had some special forging method that could raise it to fifty percent.

He Yu’s forging methods had always been astonishing.

At that thought, Duan Yuchen and the others relaxed slightly.

He Yu: “Duan Yuchen, we’ll forge it together.”

Duan Yuchen: “???”

The heart he had just managed to put at ease immediately leaped back into his throat. He raised his voice in disbelief. “What?! Together? I don’t know how to do this at all!”

He had been able to relax because He Yu was the one doing the forging.

If he had to participate too, then there was absolutely no way he could relax!

In other words, Duan Yuchen did not trust himself.

He Yu remained perfectly calm. “I don’t have enough time to do it alone. The fifty-percent success rate is based on us forging it together. Moreover, you’ll be the main force.”

Duan Yuchen: “............”

He was about to cry. “I can’t do it...”

“You can. You have to.” He Yu smiled slightly. “For this forging, I can only assist. We’ll be forging the external material from inside the ship while still remaining within the cruise ship itself. We’ll need to be especially careful during the forging process, and the operation has to be delicate. My forging methods have always been rough, so my success rate would be lower than yours.”

To He Yu, the Federation’s forging methods were far too troublesome, involving all kinds of gestures, all kinds of meticulous details... He had only been learning forging for a short time and had yet to completely master them.

Duan Yuchen, however, was different. The lifeboat they needed to forge did not require much energy, nor did it need much combat power. As long as they carefully forged it into shape, that would be enough.

—Therefore, this forging was more suitable for Duan Yuchen to lead.

He Yu was suited to forging lethal weapons, not operations requiring this degree of delicacy.

The pressure on Duan Yuchen was immense. His first instinct was to hand that pressure over to He Yu.

He had never tried this kind of forging method before and was already convinced that he could not do it. Ever since witnessing He Yu’s forging techniques, this Federation forging master had been completely crushed by He Yu all the way... Now, suddenly being told that his own success rate was higher, even Duan Yuchen himself did not believe it, and his confidence wavered.

Yet at this moment, He Yu looked at him with a firm and serious gaze.

As though he was absolutely certain Duan Yuchen could do it.

After a long while, Duan Yuchen opened his mouth and asked hoarsely, “What if we fail?”

He Yu had not mentioned failure, but Duan Yuchen knew that once they failed, after they had already damaged the special material of the cruise ship’s outer shell, there would be only one outcome—death. They might not even survive until five in the morning.

The moment the forging failed, their entire team would be wiped out.

Forging was their hope, but it could also become a dead end.

Bo Jingshan, who rarely spoke, suddenly said, “If we fail, we fail. In this place, nothing is guaranteed to succeed.”

Ling Buchen nodded in agreement. “If we don’t forge it, we’re guaranteed to fail anyway.”

Zhen Xing, Yuan Ze, Zhante, and Tang Ke said nothing, but they looked at him seriously. Clearly, they agreed to let Duan Yuchen forge it. They were willing to take this gamble.

Wanrenzhan had never been pleasant with his words, and now he snorted. “What are you dawdling for? It’s not like we haven’t taken chances with lower odds than this. What? You afraid we’ll come back for revenge?”

His words were crude, but his reasoning was sound. They had tried when their chances of success were even lower, so why hesitate now?

Qiong laughed. “Don’t worry. If we fail, we’ll all be dead. No one will come looking for revenge.”

Eugene sighed. “Do it.”

Gedai shrugged. “I’m in. If we fail, we fail.”

Everyone supported him. They were willing to entrust their lives to Duan Yuchen.

At that moment, his emotions were indescribably complicated. It was as though something was bubbling away inside his heart, sour and bitter, yet inexplicably joyful at the same time.

So this was what it felt like to have teammates...

He Yu looked at him and raised a hand to push up his glasses, his gaze unwavering. “You won’t fail. You are a forging master, and forging is in your very name, Duan Yuchen.”

Duan Yuchen met his eyes and opened his mouth. Suddenly, he forced back the moisture gathering in his eyes and gritted his teeth. “Right. Let’s fucking do it!”

He was Duan Yuchen, the forging master of District Five. What did he have to fear when it came to forging?

He walked over to He Yu in a few strides, dragged a chair over, and sat down beside him with a serious expression. “What do you have in mind? We’re still inside the cruise ship. Forging the outside from within is going to be extremely troublesome.”

He Yu opened his notebook, took out a pen, and began writing and drawing. “Here’s what I’m thinking...”

Duan Yuchen leaned his head closer and listened intently, occasionally offering his own opinion. “I think we can try that. First forge the main body of the ship, then move the control console over at the very end and directly...”

The two leaned together, rapidly discussing the details of the forging.

Everyone else watched them. Qiong shook her head and said softly, “If we make it out alive, Duan Yuchen will definitely become a grandmaster of forging who establishes an entirely new precedent. He Yu guided him very well...”

Yuan Ze smiled. “We’ve become better too.”

—In every respect.

—Our strength, our personalities. Everything has become better.

It took Zhante a long while before he spoke in a complicated voice. “So this is a team...”

Yes, this was a team.

It was not only Duan Yuchen who thought that being trusted by others felt wonderful. They also felt that trusting others—

Felt wonderful.

Teammates were people worthy of trust.

They were also the people who, when a storm descended, were willing to step forward for those beside them.

In a team, everyone had their own role.

He Yu was the brain. They were the hands, the feet, the weapons, the... wings. They huddled tightly together, carefully making their way through flashing blades, clashing swords, and thorn-filled dangers, searching for a path to survival.

A single tree could not hold everything up. They could only move forward together.

Wanrenzhan suddenly interjected, “Is there really still a traitor among us?”

This was the suspicion they had already formed at the Transfer Station, based on Siya’s death.

Now Barre’s death had been added to it. When Barre died, they had all been together, and it seemed as though none of them had done it. In that case, was it possible that Siya had not been killed by one of them either?

Everyone’s breathing caught.

Eugene rolled his eyes while steering the ship. “Wanrenzhan, no one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”

He was completely ruining the atmosphere!

The warm, harmonious mood they had finally managed to create instantly ** vanished.

Gedai’s expression was complicated. “There were no clues surrounding Siya’s death, and Barre’s death was even more inexplicable. I really hope the mastermind acted directly...”

Although that would be more dangerous, at least it would mean there was no traitor among them.

—No genuine trust had been misplaced.

Zhante’s eyes turned icy. His fingers rubbed against the long staff in his palm as he said ominously, “It had better not be one of us. Otherwise, the traitor will die a miserable death!”
