The bullet comments exploded instantly, filled with mockery—

“Hah, this trash-planet guy numbered 2333 seriously has a death wish!”

“Does he think this fish is vegetarian?”

“Waiting for him to die. He actually dares provoke a giant fish?”

“Forget this, forget this. Over in Main Planet District One, Wanrenzhan teamed up with Annie, Tang Ke, and experts from Districts Two and Three to fight a giant fish. That’s the real show!”

“Seriously?! Hurry, let’s go watch!”

...

A wave of viewers left.

But even more stayed behind.

Their sunk cost was simply too high. They had already waited five hours. Unless they personally watched this suicidal idiot die, they wouldn’t feel satisfied.

So they waited.

They waited for the giant fish to go berserk.

They waited for this man to die.

However—

they waited and waited, only to see the giant fish move its head in slight confusion. Its tail flicked impatiently as its body surfaced once more, cold eyes flashing with puzzlement.

Bullet comments: “?”

Bullet comments: “...It’s not going berserk?”

Why wasn’t it enraged?

Why had it surfaced again instead?

Why was it flicking its tail in confusion and swimming toward the place where the chunk of fish meat had fallen?

This made no sense!!

The viewers were dumbfounded.

Wei Jiaguo and the others were dumbfounded too.

Meanwhile, He Yu remained calmly seated atop the giant fish’s head.

Blue Star had no creatures like this. Having grown up in a peaceful world, He Yu had never even seen such a monster before, much less fought one.

Was he afraid?

No.

As long as he imagined that someday the entire universe would see him exactly like this, not only was he unafraid—

he was excited.

—What a shame there was no mirror and no professional styling team available right now.

The giant fish swam to the spot where the fish meat had landed and paused there blankly for a moment.

The sky grew darker and darker.

With its limited intelligence, the giant fish failed to understand what was happening, so it prepared to descend once more into the deep sea.

Calmly, He Yu stabbed downward again with the belt buckle and tossed out another chunk of fish meat.

—Equipment dropped during competitions. So could equipment also drop that would make him look even more perfect?

The giant fish shifted uncomfortably.

Its head and tail flicked again as its gills trembled slightly. Slowly, it swam forward and stopped where the second piece of fish meat had fallen.

It became even more confused.

Only after another ten minutes did it begin descending again.

Sitting atop its head, He Yu tilted his face slightly upward while gazing ahead.

At the same time, his hand repeated the same motion as before.

—This angle shows off my side profile best. Hopefully the livestream camera captures it properly.

SMACK!

The giant fish slammed its tail heavily into the ocean, surging angrily forward toward the location of the third fish chunk. Its body shook violently while its gills opened and closed furiously.

The giant fish was angry!

The audience reacted almost immediately.

Was it finally going berserk?!

Wei Jiaguo clenched his fists tightly, staring at the screen without blinking. Beside him, everyone else mirrored the same posture.

The bullet comments disappeared.

Every viewer focused intensely on the livestream.

One second.

Two seconds.

One minute.

Ten minutes...

SMACK! SMACK!

The giant fish angrily beat its tail against the water. Puffing with rage, it floated atop the sea with its eyes wide open.

Two hours later—

it remained in the exact same position.

Eyes open.

Floating at the surface.

Fast asleep.

He Yu was completely satisfied.

He pushed up his glasses, then under the utterly baffled gazes of everyone watching outside the screen, slowly lay down once more. Wrapping his clothes tighter around himself, he rested his cheek against the giant fish’s head and closed his eyes.

“Huu...”

“Huu huu...”

Night fell.

Inside the livestream room, both man and fish had gone to sleep.

Bullet comments: “?”

Wei Jiaguo and the others: “??”

The livestream comments remained eerily silent for a very long time.

Then suddenly countless comments exploded across the screen. The first one was a giant bold red comment—

“I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!”

Why?

Why didn’t the giant fish attack?

Why?

Why did the giant fish sleep on the ocean surface?

Why?

Why the hell could he sleep so peacefully?!

They didn’t understand.

They truly, genuinely did not understand.

Finally, ten minutes later, someone replied—

“I just showed the clip to my biology professor, and he immediately explained everything. From our perspective, 2333 provoked the giant fish. But to the fish itself, neither 2333 nor the tiny piece of flesh he cut off counted as an attack. 2333 is simply too weak.

“So from the giant fish’s perspective, it just feels a slight headache whenever it dives underwater. But once its head surfaces again, everything feels normal. That’s why it gave up diving and decided to sleep on the surface tonight...”

All viewers: “......”

So...

this fish was actually that stupid??

Wei Jiaguo stared at the bullet comments with an indescribably complicated expression.

He Yu had already fallen asleep, but countless comments still continued scrolling across the screen—

“We have to admit it—2333 is very smart. His method works, and it’s completely unexpected. But this contestant 2333 seems unusually obsessed with sleeping.”

“I’ve remembered 2333 now. Tomorrow I’m definitely coming back. I want to see what this trash-planet guy does next!”

“His combat power rating is practically zero. If anything unexpected happens, he’ll die instantly.”

“And he sleeps way too much. Nights at sea are incredibly dangerous. Look at the other livestreams—nobody dares sleep. Even Eugene and the others who obtained lifeboats are taking turns resting!”

“Agreed. The ocean is too dangerous. I bet he won’t survive tonight!”

“Want to go? Wanrenzhan and the others are still fighting giant fish next door.”

“No! I’m waiting to watch 2333 die! Besides... after watching 2333 lie leisurely on top of a giant fish, going back to watch the others desperately battle giant fish just feels... weird somehow.”

...

Wasn’t it weird?

The neighboring streams were filled with experts fighting giant fish with their lives on the line. Several top-tier contestants had already been heavily injured or killed. If those giant fish were considered mini-bosses, then such casualties made sense.

But after watching 2333’s livestream—

all viewers wanted to say to this “mini-boss”:

How the fuck are you this stupid?!

Not only did you let some weak “trash-planet human” ride on your head—

you even got tricked into sleeping on the ocean surface and becoming his bed.

Thinking about how such a stupid creature had pushed the other streams into such brutal battles...

everyone’s emotions became extremely complicated.

Some viewers could barely bear to look anymore.

Every livestream room was lively.

There were massacres, giant fish battles, desperate ocean survival, deaths...

all kinds of chaos.

Some livestream covers vanished from the rankings.

Some dropped to the edge.

Others surged into second-tier or first-tier visibility overnight.

Everything changed constantly.

Only He Yu’s livestream remained fixed steadily in the third-tier section regardless of people entering or leaving.

As if someone had permanently bought the spot.

It left many uninformed viewers deeply confused.

They didn’t know that those viewers were staying because they wanted to watch contestant 2333—sleeping on top of a giant fish—experience the cruelty of Top Talent Show’s preliminary round during the night.

However—

they waited.

And waited.

Until dawn arrived.

Until the sun rose.

Until dark circles formed beneath their eyes.

Only then did they finally realize—

Oh.

The giant fish was a “mini-boss.”

As long as no true boss-level monster appeared nearby, other sea creatures wouldn’t approach on their own.

And this particular giant fish was famous for one specific trait—

sleeping.

Or perhaps now they needed to add two more words to that trait:

extremely stupid.

Somewhere on Main Planet District One, also known as Battle Planet—

Citizen Ke Ai sat beneath heavy dark circles, expressionlessly watching the enormous livestream projection before him.

Federation technology was highly advanced. Sitting there felt as though he were personally beside the giant fish, watching He Yu... sleep in real life.

He watched for an entire night.

And He Yu slept for an entire night.

Finally, the person on-screen moved.

Slowly, He Yu opened his eyes.

Freshly awakened in the morning light, his eyes held a faint trace of moisture. Sunlight shone across his face, making his eyes sparkle like stars.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

Ke Ai stared at him intently, as though trying to see through him completely.

He Yu adjusted his hair and smoothed out his clothes before speaking in a hoarse, lazy voice—

“Hungry...”

Livestream viewers: “......”

Hungry?

What, did he expect someone to deliver food to him?!

The bullet comments immediately burst into ridicule—

“You surviving last night was just luck. Now what? No water, no food—I’d love to see what you do next!”

“2333 can’t hide on top of the giant fish forever. The moment he leaves, he’s dead.”

“Waiting for 2333 to die.”

“If 2333 doesn’t die, I’m not leaving this livestream room!!”

...

This time, He Yu could see the bullet comments.

But he showed absolutely no reaction.

An excellent idol needed the mental strength to calmly face all comments.

Besides, he understood very clearly—

if he revealed here that he could see the comments, the Federation would definitely investigate him.

Federation technology was incredibly advanced.

But not advanced enough to explain transmigration.

Calmly pushing up his glasses, He Yu said:

“Big Fish, let’s go find food.”

Then he stabbed downward once more with the belt buckle.

The belt buckle the system had labeled “useless but exceptionally sharp” was genuinely very useful to He Yu.

SPLASH—

The giant fish’s tail slammed violently into the sea, sending massive waves soaring upward. Its savage blue eyes snapped open, that cold and merciless gaze enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Ke Ai instinctively leaned backward.

He Yu tossed out another tiny chunk of fish meat and said softly:

“Big Fish, let’s go.”

Smelling the familiar scent of blood, the giant fish’s gills twitched as it swam toward the spot where the meat landed.

When it arrived there, it fully woke up.

Then, without stopping, it continued swimming forward.

—Because it was hungry too.

For the giant fish, hunting wasn’t difficult at all.

It simply located prey, silently approached, then suddenly opened its enormous mouth and sucked nearby fish directly inside.

Only...

confusion flashed through the giant fish’s eyes.

Why did it still feel a little hungry after eating so much?

Normally, this amount would already leave it full.

Had it grown stronger again?

The giant fish happily flicked its tail and charged toward more schools of fish ahead.

—Food!

Growth required food!

Meanwhile, atop its head, He Yu leaned forward, using the long belt to hook fish from the edge of the giant fish’s mouth into a growing pile beside him.

His body maintained an extremely awkward and difficult angle while waiting for the next opportunity to steal food from the giant fish’s mouth.

The viewers: “......”

Wei Jiaguo and the others: “......”

—Once again, they had to repeat it:

How the hell could a mini-boss be this stupid?!

THIS stupid!!

On Top Talent Show’s discussion forum, a new topic suddenly appeared and instantly attracted the attention of the entire universe—

Wanrenzhan’s team successfully killed the giant fish! Another giant fish has arrived for revenge! A second battle is about to begin—come watch!!

2L: Oh my god, Wanrenzhan and the others are amazing!

3L: As expected of the previous season’s Top Talent Show champion! Wanrenzhan is insane! One kill after another, hahaha!

4L: I’m gone. Going to watch now.

5L: Wanrenzhan is my idol!!

...

As a result, countless viewers flooded into Wanrenzhan’s livestream, while others entered the streams of different experts to watch the battle against the second giant fish.

This giant fish was even more vicious.

But Wanrenzhan’s group, armed with equipment dropped by the previous fish, was equally fierce.

The battle became evenly matched and brutally intense.

BOOM!

CLANG! CLANG!

The sounds of combat made viewers’ blood boil.

The bloody and savage battle scenes pushed the audience’s excitement to its peak.

Wanrenzhan gripped his axe tightly and swung heavily toward the giant fish.

The fish smashed him flying with its tail.

Annie caught him midair.

Wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, the scar on Wanrenzhan’s face twitched as he roared fiercely:

“That’s all you’ve got?! Watch grandpa deal with you!”

Then he charged forward again.

Annie and the other experts rushed in alongside him.

They fought side by side.

Even covered in wounds, none of them showed fear.

The bullet comments exploded—

“AAAAAHHH SO COOL! Wanrenzhan and Annie are eternal gods!”

“I want support votes already! Hurry up! I need to vote for them!”

“THIS is what real experts look like. They’re incredible!”

“What other livestream could possibly compare to our god Wanrenzhan?! WHO?!”

...

Amidst all those excited and emotional comments, a few extremely out-of-place comments suddenly appeared—

“Uh... after watching these bigshots struggle so desperately to survive, I suddenly feel like... it’s kinda not worth it.”

“Same. Isn’t a certain someone probably still sunbathing right now?”

“Nope. 2333 stopped sunbathing. He’s sun-drying little fish now :)”

“......”

The moment those disruptive comments appeared, Wanrenzhan’s fans instantly exploded in anger, cursing them out and mocking them relentlessly.

Of course, some viewers became curious instead.

So following the keyword “2333,” they clicked their way into another livestream room.
