This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 41: The Scheming Team-Up Phase (2)He Yu’s original plan had been different.
But when he, Eugene, and Zhen Xing each stood there holding a Team-Up Card in silent confrontation, Ling Buchen suddenly sent He Yu a team message—
【I have Team-Up Cards. A lot of them.】
He Yu turned back and met Ling Buchen’s gaze.
And immediately changed his plan.
He Yu liked keeping hidden trump cards.
Especially when others believed victory was already in their grasp—
Only for his hidden backup plan to suddenly reverse everything and leave everyone stunned.
That feeling was absolutely wonderful.
First, he tricked Eugene and Zhen Xing into exposing their Team-Up Cards. Then, through everyone’s reactions, he finalized the rest of his strategy.
For example—
Wanrenzhan and Duan Yuchen couldn’t cooperate.
Qiong and Duan Yuchen’s side couldn’t cooperate either.
And Qiong and Wanrenzhan? Completely impossible.
Meanwhile, Ling Buchen had already effectively chosen He Yu’s side...
This team’s relationships had become incredibly stable.
Whether the next instance was cooperative or slaughter-based, the structure was extremely stable.
He Yu narrowed his eyes, lightly tapping the stack of Team-Up Cards against his palm as he looked at everyone with a half-smile.
Everyone: “......”
Especially Eugene and Zhen Xing.
The two of them genuinely felt chills crawling up their spines.
Wanrenzhan stared at Ling Buchen in disbelief.
“Why the hell do you have so many Team-Up Cards?!”
Ling Buchen laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
“The system rewarded them to me after the last round ended.”
System reward?
It rewarded him with nothing but Team-Up Cards?
And THIS MANY?!
Everyone fell silent.
This information was downright devastating.
Eugene felt like his hair was about to explode from stress. His sense of impending doom intensified sharply.
Looking at He Yu, he forced a grin.
“He Yu... let’s negotiate. Leave each other some room today so we can meet peacefully tomorrow, yeah?”
He blinked innocently.
He Yu smiled calmly.
“Sure.”
He pulled out the first Team-Up Card.
“Binding Eugene and Gedai.”
Eugene: “......”
Gedai: “......”
This was literally throwing two mortal enemies into the same team.
Eugene exploded.
“He Yu! You’re causing chaos on purpose!!”
He Yu continued pulling out the second and third cards, openly wearing troublemaking intentions on his face—
“Binding Zhen Xing and Tang Ke.”
“Binding Zhen Xing and Annie.”
Tang Ke and Annie trusted each other fairly well.
But compared to their trust toward Zhen Xing...
The difference was enormous.
One-on-one, neither of them stood a chance against Zhen Xing.
But two against one?
That was another matter entirely.
Zhen Xing: “......”
Annie and Tang Ke: “......”
The three people who had never intended to form a team:
really wanted to curse someone out.
He Yu smiled faintly and continued—
“Binding Cheng Zhao and Yuan Ze.”
“Binding Jun and Keli Hai.”
“Preventing Eugene and Wei Bailer from binding.”
“Binding...”
......
One card after another.
In one sweep, He Yu completely shattered every powerhouse contestant’s plans!
The way he used binding and anti-binding effects was the exact opposite direction of the strategies everyone else had prepared.
How the hell had he figured out everyone’s team arrangements?!
The expressions of the elites present all became extremely ugly.
If attacking wasn’t prohibited here, they would’ve chopped He Yu into pieces already.
Eugene grabbed his own hair frantically.
“He Yu! Enough already! You’ve nearly used up all your Team-Up Cards! Stop screwing around! Aren’t you going to remove your binding with Earlie and the others?!”
He Yu still had two cards remaining.
Calmly, he picked up the second-to-last card and smiled at Eugene.
“Preventing Eugene and Zhen Xing from binding.”
The expressions of both men changed instantly again.
Ever since He Yu started binding their enemies together, they had already decided to cooperate.
While Gedai was present, Eugene had been willing to cooperate with Zhen Xing.
And because Gedai had cooperative ties with Annie and Tang Ke, Zhen Xing was also willing to cooperate with Eugene by comparison.
But unexpectedly—
He Yu had blocked even THAT path.
The barrage exploded—
“This bastard really lives to stir shit up...”
“But honestly, completely ruining everyone’s teams and forcing enemies together sounds kinda entertaining.”
“HAHAHAHA I’m actually looking forward to this!”
“But why hasn’t He Yu removed his binding with Duan Yuchen yet? Is he saving the last card for that?”
“There’s also Wanrenzhan! He needs to remove that too! He only has one card left... Did He Yu forget?”
......
Wanrenzhan shouted loudly—
“He Yu! Are you trying to remove your binding with me?! I’m telling you, even if you remove it, sooner or later I’ll still—”
The final Team-Up Card spun gracefully through He Yu’s fingers before disappearing.
His lazy voice interrupted Wanrenzhan’s roar—
“Last card. Binding He Yu and Qiong.”
He Yu’s team was officially complete.
Ling Buchen invited He Yu.
He Yu invited Qiong.
Qiong invited Qiao Yuan.
Duan Yuchen bound He Yu and brought Siya and Earlie.
Ling Buchen forcibly bound Zhante.
Zhante invited Harvey.
Second Elimination Round.
Ten-member team.
Complete.
Wanrenzhan’s voice cut off abruptly.
He stared in disbelief.
“You didn’t remove me?! Why?!”
If He Yu removed him, Wanrenzhan would be unhappy because he couldn’t kill He Yu.
If He Yu didn’t remove him, he was still unhappy.
—Not removing him meant He Yu was certain Wanrenzhan couldn’t kill him?
Hearing that, He Yu looked toward him gently.
“I couldn’t bear to remove you. After all, in this entire team, you’re the only honest person.”
Wanrenzhan: “???”
His face filled with confusion.
Honest person?
Was He Yu talking about HIM?
“Ling Buchen invited me and brought trustworthy allies Zhante and Harvey.”
“Duan Yuchen bound me and brought trusted teammates Siya and Earlie.”
“I invited Qiong, and Qiong brought trusted ally Qiao Yuan...”
He Yu looked at the utterly bewildered Wanrenzhan with sympathetic eyes.
“You’re the only honest one. You came charging into the team all by yourself.”
The moment Wanrenzhan heard the rules, he immediately excitedly bound himself to He Yu.
He had completely forgotten the preparations required under this ruleset.
As a result—
Within this ten-person team, the most dangerous position belonged to only one person.
Wanrenzhan.
Because he was alone.
Wanrenzhan: “???”
He looked at Ling Buchen’s trio.
Then Duan Yuchen’s trio.
Then He Yu, Qiong, and Qiao Yuan.
Finally, he lowered his head and looked at lonely little himself...
Wanrenzhan was dumbfounded.
The barrage instantly exploded—
“He Yu’s mockery is INSANE. Maximum taunt damage!”
“HAHAHAHA honest man Wanrenzhan.”
“He Yu is killing me. I used to think Wanrenzhan was terrifying, now he feels like an idiot!”
“Looks like overwhelming strength can still become useless in front of intelligence.”
“Don’t praise He Yu too early. This round only worked because Ling Buchen conveniently had Team-Up Cards. Wait until Round Two actually begins.”
......
—
Wanrenzhan stood there hugging his axe, lost and helpless.
No one had time to pity him.
They were too busy pitying themselves while desperately reconsidering their shattered team structures.
Duan Yuchen looked at He Yu with complicated emotions.
He Yu had chosen to bind Qiong with the last card instead of removing him.
Clearly—
He Yu had already begun calculating something else.
Which meant the question of who was scheming against whom had suddenly become impossible to determine.
Duan Yuchen regretted things slightly.
He should never have agreed to Earlie’s plan to surround and kill He Yu before fully understanding him.
And he definitely shouldn’t have bound He Yu so early, exposing their intentions in advance.
Now...
The initiative had shifted into He Yu’s hands.
In a flash, countless plans ran through Duan Yuchen’s mind.
Every single one was rejected.
Qiong and Siya could never cooperate.
Meaning Qiong and Qiao Yuan naturally stood on He Yu’s side.
Qiong’s side only had two people, so combined with He Yu’s group, they could barely balance Duan Yuchen’s trio.
Three against three.
Stable.
But now...
There was also Wanrenzhan standing there alone.
An extra variable.
Wanrenzhan would never stand with He Yu.
But if Wanrenzhan joined their side, then for safety reasons, Ling Buchen’s trio would definitely fully side with He Yu.
Four versus six.
They would lose for certain.
Duan Yuchen inhaled deeply, unease growing in his chest.
He Yu glanced at the crowd still suffering mental collapse over the destroyed team arrangements and smiled.
“Well then, our team’s complete. Everyone else, continue forming teams. Good luck.”
He lightly flicked two fingers beside his forehead in a relaxed salute.
“See you again.”
Once the ten-person team formed successfully, He Yu was automatically upgraded to captain.
Ling Buchen invited him.
He invited Qiong.
Both Duan Yuchen and Wanrenzhan had bound themselves to him.
As the team’s central node, the <Top Talent Show> system officially determined—
He Yu was Team One’s captain for Round Two.
The moment he selected “Enter Competition,” all ten people vanished instantly.
Only the devastated powerhouse contestants remained behind.
Eugene looked at black-faced Gedai.
Then at the helpless-looking Zhen Xing.
Then at the confused Yuan Ze and Cheng Zhao arriving late in the distance...
He inhaled deeply.
Then raised his middle finger toward the direction He Yu disappeared and shouted through gritted teeth—
“He Yu, you’re fucking unbelievable!”
—
【Welcome to <Top Talent Show> Elimination Round Two: 100,000 advancing to 10,000!】
【This round will eliminate 90,000 contestants. Every contestant who reached this stage is extremely powerful, so please work extra hard and avoid elimination.】
【The theme of Elimination Round Two is—<Who Is the Undercover>.】
【Ten teams totaling one hundred contestants will enter the same battleground. Teams will compete while clearing stages. The first team to complete all stages receives equipment rewards. Any injuries or deaths during the process are your own responsibility.】
【Your team is Team Number One. During the process, teams may kill each other freely, but teammates may not kill one another!】
【However, however, however (important things must be repeated three times)—hidden among you is one “Undercover.” The Undercover receives additional information. Only the Undercover may kill teammates. Other contestants cannot attack teammates.】
【During the stage-clearing process, discover the Undercover. If the Undercover is killed by another team, your entire team will be eliminated.】
【This competition contains six stages. After clearing each stage, you gain one voting opportunity. If the Undercover is voted out, they are eliminated. If an innocent teammate is mistakenly voted out, they are eliminated. If the Undercover survives through Stage Six, all other contestants are eliminated.】
【Elimination equals death. 200,000 support votes allow direct advancement.】
【Team One contestants, good luck.】
Duan Yuchen inhaled sharply.
“This stage... is terrifying.”
Every contestant remaining at this point was already incredibly strong.
And yet ninety thousand people would still be eliminated.
The rules were horrifyingly brutal.
Ten teams.
One hundred contestants.
One shared battleground.
They could kill each other freely.
And the only people they could trust—
Were their teammates.
Except—
One teammate was secretly the Undercover.
Killed by another team? Death.
Killed by the Undercover? Death.
Voted out by teammates? Death.
Fail to protect the Undercover, causing another team to kill them? Death.
If the Undercover survives to the sixth stage? Everyone else dies.
Every path led to death.
—As expected of the vicious <Top Talent Show>.
Wanrenzhan exploded instantly.
“What?! Teammates can’t kill each other?! Then doesn’t that mean I can’t kill He Yu?!”
And to prevent the Undercover from being killed, they’d even be forced to protect each other against enemy teams!
His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at He Yu.
Meanwhile—
He Yu fell briefly into a daze.
Because inside his mind, a notification nobody else could hear quietly sounded—
【He Yu, you are the Undercover.】
