This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

This was the first time He Yu had picked up equipment in “reality.” In his previous life, while preparing for a role as a gaming expert, he had spent over half a year playing online games, so he had picked up equipment countless times in-game.

But equipment in games had only been virtual items. The equipment in <Top-tier Talent Show> was all real.

They had been salvaged from the sea, and seawater still clung to them.

Three items were lined up neatly in front of him.

The first item was a knife, around fifty centimeters long. Silver-white, completely ordinary-looking.

When He Yu looked at it, an introduction automatically surfaced in his mind. This was one of <Top-tier Talent Show>’s built-in basic functions, applicable only to obtained equipment and similar items—

[A very ordinary knife. When used, combat power rating increases by 3 points.]

Very good. Just like its appearance, utterly ordinary.

The second item was a round bead with a thin chain attached to it, clearly meant to be worn around the neck as a necklace.

[An unusual Luck Reversal Bead. Note: The Luck Reversal Bead reverses a person’s luck. Therefore, if someone with good luck wears it, their luck will become very bad.]

The third item was a book with a white cover. On the cover was written: <Basic Principles of Combat Power Development>.

The books of the Universe Federation were made from different materials than those on Blue Star. They seemed waterproof, though whether they were fireproof remained unknown.

[A basic Federation textbook. The foundational work behind all combat power.]

Knife, Luck Reversal Bead, foundational textbook. All three pieces of equipment had been revealed. At first glance, they seemed fairly decent, covering every category.

But He Yu could see the livestream comments, and from the audience’s words, he learned the actual value of these items—

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA—hic.”

“I’m fucking dying laughing.”

“Which genius created these things in the talent show? A knife with +3 combat power? <Basic Principles of Combat Power Development>? Hahaha, genius, truly a fucking genius!!”

“This trash planet native definitely doesn’t understand anything. He probably thinks he found treasure?”

...

He Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yes, perhaps he hadn’t understood before.

But now he did.

The comments revealed a great deal of information. For example, all three of his items were basically worthless.

Most “equipment” had been left behind by contestants from previous seasons. After they died, their equipment dropped and scattered throughout the competition grounds.

Contestants could bring nothing into the competition except their own abilities, so all equipment had originally been created or obtained within the game by previous participants.

Besides contestant leftovers, there were also countless treasures the production team had applied to the Universe Federation to include in the show over the years, including divine-grade treasures.

After all, this talent show was also called the “God Creation System.”

<Top-tier Talent Show> had been held for dozens of seasons. Experts were as numerous as clouds, and the good items inside were equally countless.

—This was the true reason why so many Federation contestants willingly risked their lives to participate.

Wanrenzhan’s team had previously obtained several pieces of equipment.

Wanrenzhan had taken one of the ores, then had his teammate from Mechanical Planet design it while the contestant from Weapon Planet, Duan Yuchen, forged an axe for him on the spot. His combat power rating increased by 80 points, bringing his total to 320 and making him the current number one combat power in the entire division.

Among all weapon-type equipment discovered so far, even the worst could increase combat power by at least 10 points.

This knife only increased combat power by 3.

Truly worthy of its description—ordinary.

And then there was the book.

<Basic Principles of Combat Power Development> really was a basic textbook. Every Federation high school student owned one.

The audience was “praising” the contestant who had created this knife and written this book inside <Top-tier Talent Show>.

What a fucking talent.

As for the “unusual Luck Reversal Bead,” the audience burst into even louder laughter.

Someone said—

“2333 survived and got these items entirely because of luck. That Luck Reversal Bead probably isn’t a good thing for him at all. It might even be a disaster. Good luck turning into bad luck? Is this even equipment? Hahahahaha!”

“Exactly. Plenty of stores in the Federation sell Luck Beads. A one-time bead that increases luck by ten percent only costs ten thousand Federation coins. The only impressive thing about 2333’s bead is probably that it doesn’t have a usage limit? Hahaha.”

“I’m dying. As Wanrenzhan fans, we officially donate these items to you, you ignorant trash planet contestant!”

“Don’t laugh at him, guys. Look, through hard work, 2333 successfully raised his combat power score from 2 to 5! Wanrenzhan went from being able to split 160 He Yus with one axe swing to only being able to split 64 He Yus now. Hahahaha—hic.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. This pathetic trash planet contestant isn’t worth watching. I’ll come back when he dies.”

...

Blue Star.

Wei Jiaguo’s expression was extremely complicated.

Beside him, Ye Kaijun sighed. “I honestly don’t even know what to say anymore. He Yu got lucky and found three pieces of equipment, but... these things... sigh.”

There was no need to mention the knife and the useless Luck Reversal Bead. As for <Basic Principles of Combat Power Development>... well, Blue Star had already obtained that long ago.

The truth was that none of He Yu’s three items held any real value.

Zheng Ke shook his head. “Let’s switch to Bo Jingshan’s livestream. He just defeated a hunter contestant from Ordinary Planet and has started gaining some attention.”

The screen switched.

Things on He Yu’s side had temporarily settled down, while Bo Jingshan’s livestream was currently exciting.

They no longer wanted to remain in this livestream listening to the Federation audience mock “trash planet natives.” It was too unbearable for the people of Blue Star.

Wei Jiaguo felt fortunate that He Yu couldn’t see the comments.

However, he did not know—

He Yu actually could see them.

It was simply that He Yu’s mental strength far exceeded imagination.

—

Meanwhile, while He Yu was opening equipment, Wanrenzhan and the others’ boat was drifting on the sea surface.

The rubber raft moved slowly forward. Everyone aboard remained silent.

After a long while, Annie suddenly spoke.

“I don’t understand.”

Wanrenzhan looked at them expressionlessly. The others were equally expressionless, because at that moment, all of them wanted to say the same thing—

I don’t understand.

Annie scratched their blue hair, nearly collapsing. “So who the hell was that guy? And where did he even come from? If I don’t figure it out, I’m gonna suffocate from frustration!”

Gedai from Mechanical Planet spoke in a flat, emotionless voice. “He couldn’t have appeared afterward. Which means he must have been on the giant fish’s head from the very beginning. Possibly even controlling the giant fish.”

After a pause, he added—

“That person is very strong. To be able to control the giant fish... he’s probably no weaker than me.”

Wanrenzhan sneered. “Gedai, do you think you’re Eugene from Mechanical Planet? No weaker than you? If he can control a giant fish, he’s already crushing you.”

Gedai froze. Even his mechanical face distorted slightly.

His voice turned icy. “Wanrenzhan, don’t get too arrogant.”

“And what are you going to do about it?” Wanrenzhan sneered.

Gedai’s mechanical arms instantly transformed into blades, while Wanrenzhan tightened his grip on his axe. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

Tang Ke hurriedly interrupted, “Everyone calm down. We agreed that before the third round, we’re teammates. We can’t attack each other. I know everyone’s upset over what just happened, but calm down.”

Neither Wanrenzhan nor Gedai spoke.

Tang Ke continued, “Let’s keep talking about that person instead. Which planet is he from? I don’t remember seeing his face on the contestant list.”

He Yu’s face was extremely beautiful. Anyone who saw it once would never forget it.

Wanrenzhan lowered his axe, and Gedai retracted his mechanical arms.

Gedai said, “He’s not from the Main Planet. I reviewed the lists and profiles of every Main Planet contestant, including all contestants from Ordinary Planets with combat power ratings above 100.”

No one doubted the memory of a Mechanical Planet native.

Annie looked shocked. “So... he’s from a Chaotic Planet?!”

Gedai’s voice became meaningful. “Wasn’t it said this season also added many unknown trash planet contestants?”

Wanrenzhan immediately refuted it. “Impossible! I refuse to believe he’s from a trash planet!”

Someone capable of controlling a giant fish and stealing equipment right under their noses—

How could that possibly be a trash planet native?

Gedai shrugged. “Even if he’s from a Chaotic Planet, he’s still impressive. I’ve memorized his face.”

Wanrenzhan’s expression darkened unpredictably.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, “Did he head east?”

The others froze.

Then they immediately understood.

Gedai smiled. “I support following him. He’s carrying the equipment he just picked up, and I don’t believe that once we recover our energy, we still won’t be able to defeat him.”

Annie nodded. “No objections here. Losing to someone from a Chaotic Planet or trash planet is too humiliating. We have to recover our dignity.”

Tang Ke hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded as well.

The raft changed direction, heading eastward.

Wanrenzhan’s expression was vicious as he gritted his teeth. “Anyone who steals from Wanrenzhan hasn’t been born yet. I’m going to tear him into pieces and feed his blood to my battle axe!”

They aggressively went after He Yu, completely unaware that the livestream comments had already exploded—

“You’re overestimating him!!”

“2333 is literally a trash planet contestant with combat power 2!”

“Nonsense. His combat power is clearly 5 now /doghead.”

“Wanrenzhan can chop 64 He Yus with one axe swing.”

“Hahaha, Wanrenzhan, let me tell you something. The equipment trash planet contestant 2333 got is so laughable. Don’t bother chasing him, you’ll just be disappointed!!”

“No need. Seriously, no need.”

...

Unfortunately, they could not see the livestream comments.

So they continued chasing eastward in the direction the giant fish had traveled.

—

He Yu calmly stored away the three pieces of equipment before him.

At this moment, the number of viewers in his livestream sharply declined. He did not know that his stream thumbnail had already fallen from the second-tier recommendation area into some invisible outer corner.

But He Yu did not care.

Nor did his face show any sign of “disappointment.”

The audience assumed it was because he didn’t understand.

But in reality, He Yu was very satisfied.

He had seen the comments. He {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} understood the meaning behind all three items.

The belt buckle had been useful, but it was already gone. The appearance of a knife at this moment was extremely practical for him. As for combat power ratings, He Yu simply did not care.

As for the Luck Reversal Bead, He Yu only glanced at it once before hanging it around his neck. The pitch-black bead made his collarbone appear even paler, extraordinarily beautiful.

And that book others considered useless—

He Yu valued it highly.

—Foundations truly were the root of everything.

No matter how ordinary the book might be, for someone who knew nothing about the subject, it was precious.

He Yu was not disappointed in the slightest.

He leisurely sat atop the giant fish’s head, opened the book, and calmly began reading.

The number of viewers in the livestream plummeted again, as though the previous popularity surge had been nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

Without any new explosive developments, the livestream returned to silence.

Universe Federation Main Planet.

Qiu Dao, the chief organizer of <Top-tier Talent Show>, hurried toward the Federation Royal Palace.

Along the way, countless doors opened directly for him. Sweat covered his forehead as he walked rapidly. If running had been permitted, he would already have sprinted.

When he reached the palace’s main hall, the chief steward personally came out to receive him.

“Mr. Qiu, this way please. His Majesty has already been waiting.”

Qiu Dao nodded. “Understood.”

After entering the main hall, the Federation’s highest ruler and lord of the Federation, seated at the head position, waved a hand.

The chief steward immediately withdrew.

The hall was protected by a barrier. Even if someone stood directly outside the doors, not a single word from inside could be heard.

The instant the steward left, Qiu Dao could no longer restrain himself. He bowed hurriedly and immediately said—

“Your Majesty! One of the three divine-grade treasures lost within <Top-tier Talent Show> has appeared!”

The King abruptly stood up.

“What is it?!”

Qiu Dao wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

“The Luck Reversal Bead.”
