This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

That snow mound was actually the Ice Beast!!

Wasn't there only supposed to be one Ice Beast? Why were there two identical snow mounds?!

They had never associated the snow mounds with the Ice Beast precisely because there were two identical ones, while there was only supposed to be a single Ice Beast.

But this wasn't the time to analyze.

They were dumbfounded.

Frozen in place, staring blankly into the Ice Beast's eyes, their entire bodies seemed to have stiffened.

—The shock they intended to give He Yu hadn't scared him at all. Instead, they had nearly scared themselves to death!

The air became strangely still.

Only the howling wind could be heard.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds...

“ROAR!”

“RUN—!”

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

He Yu hugged the Ice Beast's ears tightly, watching as the awakened beast pounced on its food.

Its eyes were cold and savage.

It was a big cat.

But it was also a vicious boss.

The Ice Beast lunged toward them. The distance was too short, and it was far too ferocious. Eugene, Gedai, Cheng Zhao, and Yuan Ze were fast enough to react, but one average Mechanical Planet contestant and one member of Yuan Ze's team were torn apart on the spot!

—Damn, that was terrifying!

Gedai gritted his teeth and desperately ran forward.

Faster!

Run faster!

The Ice Beast wasn't in a hurry to eat.

It continued pursuing the others.

Zhen Xing had hidden himself far away long ago. Everyone else fled frantically, desperately dodging the beast's attacks.

“This thing is way too brutal!”

“Why is the Ice Beast so strong?! Who can fight this?!”

“AHHHH DON'T CHASE ME!!”

Miserable screams echoed everywhere.

Everyone scattered and fled in utter disgrace.

Meanwhile, He Yu lazily basked in the sun.

His eyes half closed, completely comfortable.

He slowly pulled out his transforming equipment and turned it into a huge brush.

Then he brushed the fur of the giant cat beneath him.

“Grrrr...”

The Ice Beast purred.

Its mood instantly improved.

It almost wanted to stop and enjoy being brushed.

But seeing the fleeing crowd, it continued chasing them.

Leaping through the air, it pounced at them as if playing.

Unfortunately, its idea of “playing” nearly drove Eugene and the others insane.

Someone tried flying.

The Ice Beast immediately spat out ice arrows, causing another chorus of screams.

Bullet comments exploded—

“Too miserable, seriously too miserable.”

“Two died instantly. Will He Yu command the Ice Beast to kill all of them?”

“Very possible. This is an excellent opportunity to eliminate them.”

“They were already miserable enough last night, and today is somehow even worse.”

...

Gedai didn't have enough votes, but fortunately many Mechanical Planet viewers supported him. In this dangerous moment, his votes slowly climbed upward, though they still hadn't reached two hundred thousand.

Eugene, however, had long surpassed that number.

He hadn't spent the hundred thousand-plus votes from the previous round. Added to this round's votes, he had already exceeded two hundred thousand.

But he wasn't willing to leave like this!

Roaring furiously, Eugene shouted,

“He Yu! What the hell are you trying to do?!”

His roar immediately attracted the Ice Beast's attention.

It lunged toward him.

Eugene instantly surrendered.

“Mommy! I was wrong! He Yu, I was really wrong!”

Facing the sun, He Yu smiled slightly.

—Today really was beautiful weather.

—

Eugene and the others collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

Their bodies were covered in wounds, their stamina completely exhausted.

They couldn't even move.

Some were preparing to leave.

Others looked utterly hopeless.

Lying in the snow after such intense exertion was indescribably miserable.

Even Gedai's mechanical face had become ashen.

Meanwhile, with people available to “play” with the big cat, He Yu only needed to brush its fur to keep it happy.

Compared with yesterday's hardships, today was incredibly relaxing.

The Ice Beast had finally played enough.

Now it was time for breakfast.

It first looked toward the two corpses.

It hadn't killed the others not only because it was playing, but also because it wanted to store food.

—So many people had suddenly appeared.

It planned to save them and eat them slowly.

Thus, it walked back toward the two corpses and opened its mouth.

Suddenly, He Yu tugged its ear.

“Dirty. Don't eat those.”

Having its meal interrupted made the Ice Beast angry.

Even though He Yu was its favorite toy, it was displeased.

It reached out with a paw, grabbed He Yu, and plucked him off its head.

Its movements were somewhat rough.

Holding the brush, He Yu calmly looked at it.

The Ice Beast saw the brush.

Remembered how good brushing felt...

The coldness in its eyes faded.

It placed He Yu beside the corpses and tilted its fluffy head.

“Roar?”

—You want to eat?

—I can share.

For the domineering Ice Beast, sharing food with a toy was no easy matter.

It meant it valued this toy very highly.

But He Yu simply stood there calmly, not even approaching the corpses.

Dusting snow off his clothes, he pulled something from his backpack and tossed it over.

“Eat this. Don't eat people.”

The Ice Beast instinctively caught it.

Then—

Its eyes widened.

Its blue eyes became round.

Its enormous fluffy tail whipped wildly.

“AWOOO!”

Its huge head rushed toward He Yu in excitement, nearly knocking him over.

“Awuu! Awuu!”

Smacking its lips, savoring the taste, it begged frantically for more.

He Yu took out another one.

Salted fish.

Salted fish he had dried during the preliminaries and left in his backpack ever since.

Most viewers had stopped opening He Yu's backpack because they hated that he stored salted fish alongside equipment.

Many had completely forgotten they were still there.

The moment he took them out, the Ice Beast went crazy with excitement.

Its tail swung wildly.

He Yu tossed another into its mouth.

“A big cat should eat fish. Not people. They're dirty.”

“Awuu!”

One bite.

The huge fluffy creature practically melted.

Its tail wagged.

Its ears trembled.

Its enormous blue eyes narrowed blissfully.

Even its whiskers quivered with happiness.

Humans?

Who cared about the humans lying there?

It had no appetite for them anymore.

It only wanted fish!

He Yu headed toward a cleaner area.

Blood from the dead contestants had stained the snow beneath his feet.

He had no desire to stay.

The big cat immediately followed him, never even glancing back at the corpses.

Without looking behind, He Yu said lightly,

“Clean it up.”

Eugene, Gedai, Yuan Ze, Cheng Zhao: “???”

—Was he ordering them around?

He Yu stopped and turned back.

“Don't want to clean?”

“Big cat, accompany them—”

“We'll clean!”

Yuan Ze jumped up instantly.

“We'll do it right now!”

Eugene nodded with tears in his eyes.

Gedai looked equally miserable.

—Too miserable.

They really were too miserable.

Nothing good ever happened when He Yu was involved.

Every time they hunted him down, they ended up pitiful themselves.

Zhen Xing poked his head out of the snow.

Watching He Yu's thin figure walking steadily across the snow, calm and composed...

And beside him, the huge cat lowered its head repeatedly, rubbing him with its nose while begging for food.

Where was the savage Ice Beast?

Zhen Xing was silent.

—As expected of you, He Yu.

—

As He Yu walked with the big cat, bullet comments suddenly became visible again.

“He Yu, why not use the Ice Beast to kill Zhen Xing and the others?”

“Exactly! It's a deathmatch. Why isn't he eliminating them?”

“Gedai and Cheng Zhao are short on votes. He Yu can kill them now.”

“If I were He Yu, I'd definitely kill them.”

“He spared Wanrenzhan earlier too. Such a wasted opportunity.”

...

He Yu's expression remained unchanged.

He simply rubbed the big cat's face.

This competition was like raising poisonous insects.

Everyone was placed into the same system, forced to attack and kill each other according to rules and arrangements, strengthening themselves while entertaining the audience.

Inside, they knew nothing about the outside world.

Only the competition existed.

Either die.

Or kill everyone else and become the sole survivor.

Thus, there were no teammates.

No trust.

No humanity.

—Mercy toward others was cruelty toward oneself.

After all, only one person could survive.

No matter how kind someone was outside, inside they could reveal humanity's ugliest side.

Betrayal.

Murder.

Schemes.

Lies.

All were normal.

Everything was done to survive.

He Yu had entered this world for unknown reasons.

And strangely enough, he could occasionally see bullet comments.

—That was his advantage.

He could know other contestants' situations.

He could see viewers' analyses.

Others couldn't.

Even in the Transit Station, contestants could only watch the matches.

No bullet comments.

No contestant information.

The comments were currently telling him that Gedai and Cheng Zhao lacked votes and could be eliminated.

Most contestants would do exactly that.

Who would reject such a good opportunity?

A mocking smile appeared on He Yu's lips.

—He made plans according to the rules and followed them to survive.

—But what he liked most...

Was breaking the rules.

Including the rules of <Top Talent Show>.

Because being one of the poisonous insects...

Truly felt awful.

According to the rules of <Top Talent Show>, was killing everyone one by one and becoming the final “King of Poison” really a good thing?

The smile disappeared.

He adjusted his glasses, hiding the suspicion deep within his eyes.

Behind him, Eugene shouted,

“He Yu, we're done cleaning. Can we—”

He Yu interrupted him with a smile.

“Then let's do something else.”

—

Eugene, Gedai, Cheng Zhao, and Yuan Ze led everyone carrying firewood up the mountain.

Like laborers.

Step by step.

For the third time.

They climbed the terrifying mountain carrying logs into the endless white snowfield.

After cleaning up the blood, He Yu had simply said—

“My big cat wants grilled fish. Go fetch some firewood.”

Did the big cat want grilled fish?!

That giant cat was happily munching salted fish!!

It was obviously He Yu himself who wanted grilled fish!

But they wanted to live.

They didn't want to be bitten to death by the Ice Beast.

So they could only descend the mountain and haul logs back up.

Gedai finally exploded.

“Damn it, He Yu has gone too far!”

Eugene was equally furious.

“Why does Zhen Xing get to stay and play with the Ice Beast while we're hauling wood? I refuse!”

He couldn't stand Zhen Xing receiving better treatment.

Bullet comments:

“Think positively.”

“Companion Zhen Xing is having a breakdown too.”

“No one has it easy.”

“Except He Yu.”

Cheng Zhao raised his middle finger.

“He Yu! Relying on the Ice Beast to bully us. Just wait! Someday we'll get revenge!”

Yuan Ze wiped his sweat.

“Well... we attacked him first...”

Gedai stared expressionlessly.

“Which side are you on?”

Everyone stared.

If his answer dissatisfied them, they'd beat him together.

Yuan Ze instantly straightened up.

“He Yu is absolutely shameless!”

A voice drifted down from above.

“Who's shameless?”

Yuan Ze froze.

At the summit, the Ice Beast crouched on the edge.

He Yu sat on its leg beneath its paw and looked down calmly.

Yuan Ze forced a smile.

“Me. I'm shameless.”

—Damn it.

—Why am I always the one suffering?!

He Yu stood up.

The Ice Beast gently lifted him onto its head.

Then it rose, blue eyes cold and indifferent.

Everyone instantly stiffened like quails.

“Hurry up,” He Yu said.

“I'm hungry.”

He finally admitted it.

The one who wanted grilled fish wasn't the Ice Beast.

It was him.

Eugene and the others gnashed their teeth but could only continue climbing.

Meanwhile, He Yu rode the big cat away with several jumps.

The beast could easily fetch wood itself.

But no.

He insisted they carry it.

He Yu...

Well played.

Their eyes were filled with grievance and anger.

Bullet comments:

“Revenge Alliance gains another n members.”

“Hahahaha! Everyone wants to deal with He Yu, and everyone gets dealt with instead.”

“But He Yu has offended too many people. What about next round?”

“Exactly. Every elite contestant now agrees—attack He Yu on sight.”

“Still don't know what next round looks like. I'm looking forward to He Yu's performance.”

...

Nobody doubted that He Yu would clear this round.

They worried about the next one.

After all...

He had made far too many enemies.

Enemies who truly hated him.

Given the chance, they'd kill him first without hesitation.

Had He Yu not considered that?

No one could understand his thoughts.

So they simply continued watching.

After a long journey, Eugene and the others finally returned with firewood.

The moment they arrived, they collapsed.

“I can't do it anymore,” Eugene muttered.

“My system's crashing.”

Cheng Zhao's eyes were vacant.

“We climbed this mountain three times...”

And now, nobody had any combat strength left.

Killing them now would be effortless.

Eugene noticed Zhen Xing lying nearby.

The Cube equipment sat beside him, forgotten.

Zhen Xing simply stared at the sky, drenched in sweat.

“Eh?”

“Playing with the Ice Beast is that exhausting?”

Zhen Xing expressionlessly replied,

“You can try next time.”

Eugene instantly cheered up.

Seeing Zhen Xing suffer made him feel better.

He opened his mouth—

“He Yu: Eugene, since you've recovered, come stack the firewood.”

Eugene: “?”

A huge fluffy head suddenly appeared above him.

Blue eyes stared down at him.

True death glare.

Eugene burst into tears and crawled over.

He had been wrong.

He shouldn't have shown off.

And he definitely shouldn't have spoken.

No wonder Zhen Xing was lying there pretending to be dead.

—

Soon the firewood was ready.

He Yu took out over ten dried fish.

The Ice Beast spun around anxiously.

Drooling.

Tail wagging wildly.

It had tried stealing before, but whenever it reached out, the food disappeared.

After several failed attempts, it learned—

No stealing.

That had been He Yu's goal all along.

The giant cat's body was too large.

Even a gentle bump could send He Yu tumbling.

So despite being desperate, it only circled around, crying pitifully.

Eventually, unable to resist, it stretched out one fluffy paw.

Very gently.

Pat.

Pat.

Pat.

Three light taps on He Yu's back.

Then it withdrew and stared pitifully.

“Wait,” He Yu said.

He took out a lighter.

Click.

A flame appeared.

He lit the fire.

Returning the lighter to his pocket, he sighed.

“As expected of equipment. Quite a nice lighter.”

Bullet comments:

“...Truly a very pure lighter.”

“He Yu's mentality is incredible.”

Everyone still found it unbelievable.

A genuine lighter had been rewarded during the second round.

And He Yu had scared Siya away with it.

Truly magical.

Soon, the fish began sizzling over the flames.

The aroma spread.

No seasonings.

Just pure fish fragrance.

Enough to tempt both humans and cats.

“AWOO!”

The big cat howled.

Drool poured down.

Unable to endure any longer, it reached toward the fish.

Smack.

He Yu slapped the fluffy paw away.

Eugene and the others: “......”

—He Yu really had guts!

The Ice Beast froze.

Then turned toward him angrily.

“ROAR!”

“Wait a bit longer,” He Yu said calmly.

Still blocking it.

Its claws emerged.

Its expression turned savage.

After all...

It wasn't a tame cat.

Everyone held their breath.

A bloody scene seemed inevitable.

Yet He Yu remained completely calm.

He flipped the fish.

Then extended his hand.

The Ice Beast stared.

So did everyone else.

After a long moment—

The claws withdrew.

The giant head lowered.

He Yu vigorously scratched under its chin.

To the Ice Beast, it was simply pleasant.

“Grrrr...”

It obediently lay down.

Resting its huge head upon its paws beside He Yu.

Drooling while staring at the fish.

One small figure.

One enormous beast.

Surprisingly harmonious.

As He Yu calmly grilled fish and scored the meat with his ordinary knife, the aroma became even richer.

Not far away, Zhen Xing, Eugene, and the others swallowed.

Slowly.

Silently.

They approached the fire.

—There were more than ten fish.

Surely...

There would be at least one for them, right?
