This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 69: The Scheming Team-Up Phase (28)The group slowly approached the campfire.
Not daring to get close to the Ice Beast, they circled to He Yu's other side and carefully edged closer, hoping to sit near him.
However, the Ice Beast, which had been focused on the grilled fish, immediately turned its head toward them.
Another death stare.
Its water-blue eyes were completely emotionless.
Eugene: “......”
He silently retreated and stopped five meters away from He Yu.
Too far to enjoy the warmth of the fire.
Too far to quietly talk to him.
Looking at the Ice Beast and then at He Yu, Eugene finally couldn't help himself.
“He Yu, how did you tame it?”
He Yu calmly flipped the fish. The firelight illuminated his face, adding warmth to his cold, handsome features and making him seem almost radiant.
His voice remained calm.
“Do you think I'd tell you?”
Eugene: “......”
Fair enough.
This was practically a trade secret.
Even he wouldn't reveal something like that.
So Eugene smoothly changed the topic.
“Do you know how to clear this stage? I can't make heads or tails of it.”
They had plenty of questions.
If one couldn't be answered, they could always ask another.
“I don't know,” He Yu replied.
Eugene: “......”
How was anyone supposed to have a conversation like this?!
Yuan Ze took over.
“How did you clear the fifth stage? By the time we got there, there was nothing left.”
He Yu didn't hide it.
While turning the fish, he answered casually,
“We killed the Blazing Fire Bull and came out.”
Everyone: “!!!”
The Blazing Fire Bull?!
Not only was it the Blazing Fire Bull—
They had actually killed it?!
Gedai's eyes widened.
“Impossible!”
His voice was too shrill and too loud.
The Ice Beast immediately glanced over.
Those blue eyes became sharp.
Gedai shrank his neck and seemed to lose an inch of height.
Hiding behind Eugene, he lowered his voice.
“You only had a few people. How could you possibly defeat the Blazing Fire Bull?”
Eugene glanced at him and silently stepped aside.
—Want him to be the shield?
—Dream on.
He Yu picked up a fish, inspected it, made another cut with his Plain and Unremarkable Knife, and put it back over the fire.
Beside him, the big cat kept crying impatiently.
“Awuu! Awuu!”
“Soon,” He Yu said.
“Don't rush.”
Only then did he answer.
“The facts are right there. Believe it or not.”
Gedai fell silent.
It was true.
The fifth stage, Blazing Hell, was empty.
He Yu wasn't lying.
They had indeed killed the Blazing Fire Bull.
Despite having only a handful of people.
Zhen Xing suddenly spoke.
“You were the mole?”
It was phrased as a question.
But his gaze was full of certainty.
He Yu didn't deny it.
Everyone inhaled sharply.
—Just how terrifying was He Yu?
As the mole, not only had he eliminated everyone on his own team, he had also led several teammates to defeat the Blazing Fire Bull and now had somehow “subdued” the Ice Beast.
Their estimation of He Yu skyrocketed.
But Zhen Xing still felt something wasn't right.
—He had never seen He Yu fight.
—Could a true expert go this long without ever making a move?
He felt something was off.
Yet he neither questioned nor refuted it.
He simply remained quiet.
Soon, silence returned.
Eugene, Gedai, Cheng Zhao, and the others exchanged glances.
He Yu's strength...
Seemed even more exaggerated than they had imagined.
What were they supposed to do?
Keeping their distance, Yuan Ze lowered his voice.
“So... if we work together, can we beat him?”
[Bullet Comment: “YOU'RE THINKING TOO MUCH!! HE ONLY HAS EIGHT COMBAT POWER!!”]
[Bullet Comment: “Damn it, wake up! Stop overestimating him!”]
[Bullet Comment: “Everyone thinking He Yu is an expert...”]
—
Transit Station.
Wanrenzhan snorted.
“What kind of expert is he? Eight combat power. He's reached the end of this round without gaining a single point.”
Qiong stroked her chin, puzzled.
“I've always found He Yu strange. His combat power is terrible, but he never chooses combat equipment.”
If it were bad luck and the rewards simply lacked combat gear, that would be one thing.
But after the first stage, they had always let He Yu choose first.
There had been plenty of combat equipment.
Yet he always picked non-combat items.
It made no sense.
Wanrenzhan snorted coldly.
“Because he's stupid. He ignores good equipment and picks trash.”
Zhante interrupted.
“Wanrenzhan, I've noticed that your IQ drops in a straight line whenever He Yu is involved.”
Qiao Yuan nodded in agreement.
Duan Yuchen rolled his eyes.
“If his IQ were high, would he have helped cover for the mole?”
Thinking about it still made him furious.
He Yu had hidden so perfectly largely because of Wanrenzhan's help.
Wanrenzhan exploded.
“I was tricked! Weren't all of you tricked too?”
Qiao Yuan retorted,
“We were tricked because you covered for him. You kept speaking for He Yu. Everything he wanted to say came out of your mouth. Nobody suspected him because of you!”
Wanrenzhan's attack power was explosive.
“Oh? And none of you helped? You couldn't even tell the fake me from the real me. Maybe your eyes are broken!”
“You're still trying to shift responsibility?”
“Everyone's responsible! Got a problem? Duel me!”
“You're only acting tough because fighting isn't allowed here!”
“Enough!”
Qiong shouted.
Then she frowned at the projection.
“He Yu... I always feel like he's hiding many secrets.”
Duan Yuchen nodded deeply.
“He believes in never speaking unless he's at least eighty percent sure. Who knows how many secrets he's hiding? Maybe refusing combat equipment has something to do with his theories. I'd really like to discuss them with him—”
“Hey!”
Siya immediately interrupted.
“Duan Yuchen! The Revenge Alliance already agreed. Next round, don't let He Yu open his mouth. Just kill him!”
No matter how many secrets he had, they were still competitors.
Only one person could survive.
He Yu was a threat.
And he had offended all of them.
He had to die.
Duan Yuchen thought for a moment and nodded heavily.
—
Ice Paradise.
Not knowing how to clear the stage.
Not knowing what had happened to He Yu's team.
Unable to kill He Yu.
Everyone felt increasingly miserable.
Eugene scratched his head.
“So how do we clear this stage? The number of slots keeps decreasing. We've already come this far. Are we really going to spend two hundred thousand votes and leave?”
Gedai's face darkened for an instant before returning to normal.
“If the number of remaining slots approaches ten thousand and we still can't find a solution, we'll have to spend votes and leave.”
—He dared not reveal that he lacked enough votes.
Otherwise, the others might attack him.
Cheng Zhao also acted normally.
“We should focus on clearing the stage. Besides the sixth-stage rewards, there's also the stage-clear reward. We got too little equipment this round. The next round will only become harder.”
Everyone nodded.
Eugene suddenly lowered his voice.
“The fifth stage required killing the Blazing Fire Bull. Could this stage be—”
“AWUU!”
The Ice Beast suddenly jumped up excitedly.
Snow exploded everywhere.
Even those five meters away got covered.
Everyone looked over.
He Yu had removed one grilled fish and placed it in the snow to cool.
The Ice Beast was so excited it nearly danced.
Its huge legs left giant craters in the ground.
Everyone: “......”
—Could they really kill something like this?
“Eat,” He Yu said.
“It's done.”
He also picked up one for himself, blew on it, and brought it to his mouth.
The temperature in Ice Paradise was extremely low.
Even by the fire, the fish cooled rapidly.
He needed to eat quickly.
The Ice Beast eagerly swallowed its cooled fish.
And in that instant—
Its blue eyes widened.
Its tail slowly rose.
Its ears stood upright.
Its fluffy face was filled with bliss.
—Delicious!!
A gigantic monster.
Yet everyone could clearly read that expression on its face.
He Yu was equally satisfied.
The fish differed from Blue Star fish.
Its flesh was exceptionally fresh.
Being a sea fish, it needed no seasoning.
The skin was crispy.
The inside melted in the mouth.
One person {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} and one cat both narrowed their eyes in happiness.
Eugene swallowed and strode over.
“He Yu, I'll have one too, thanks.”
There were over ten fish.
Surely first come, first served.
But Cheng Zhao's hand moved faster.
Eugene's eyes widened.
He shoved him aside and reached first.
Meanwhile, Zhen Xing's hand slipped past both of them and grabbed the stick—
“AWOO!”
Before anyone reacted, a giant white furball flew over.
One paw.
Another paw.
Two people were sent flying.
The third was caught in its mouth.
The Ice Beast thought about eating him.
But it had no appetite.
It only wanted fish.
So it spat him out.
Bang!
Bang!
Those nearby immediately retreated.
Far away, Eugene roared,
“He Yu! Control your big cat! It's too overbearing!”
He Yu calmly ate his fish.
“I wasn't grilling these for you. They all belong to my big cat.”
“Awuu!”
The Ice Beast agreed.
—One fish for the toy.
Everything else belongs to me.
Anyone who steals dies.
By the time Eugene and the other two limped back with nearly broken legs, He Yu had almost finished.
The big cat was carefully savoring the second-to-last fish.
Licking it slowly.
Looking utterly blissful.
Nearby, Gedai and the others swallowed repeatedly.
Eugene sniffed the aroma and drooled.
After finishing his fish, He Yu suddenly asked,
“Big cat, what do you normally eat?”
The Ice Beast paused.
Then its eyes lit up.
“Awuu! Awuu!”
Unable to explain, it became anxious.
It gently patted He Yu's back three times.
Very gently.
Then pointed somewhere.
Motioning him to follow.
He Yu tossed aside the bones and skewers, brushed off his hands with snow, and headed in that direction.
Zhen Xing, Eugene, Gedai, Cheng Zhao, and Yuan Ze all brightened and pounced.
—Fish!
There was still one left over the fire!
Whoever got it first would have it!
The smell was too tempting.
Not getting a bite tonight would be torture.
“AWOO!”
The big cat turned around.
In the middle of their struggle, it casually swallowed the last fish in a single bite.
Licking the corner of its mouth, it turned away with elegance.
