This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 78: Death Countdown (4)The voice was bright and vigorous, but definitely unfamiliar.
Eugene subconsciously turned around and saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man leading several people toward them. Along the way, everyone moved aside to make room.
Surprised voices immediately sounded around them—
“Mr. Louis!”
“It's Mr. Louis!”
“Why is Mr. Louis here?”
...
Louis!
Before playing the game, Eugene had no idea who Louis was.
But after the game, he knew.
Louis—the manager of Ghost Town.
Eugene looked at He Yu, his eyes conveying a message:
How did he come to us himself?
Earlier, inside the Area Space, they had discussed that if they wanted information, they would probably have to find this man named Louis. Eugene had wanted to take the initiative, but He Yu had rejected the idea.
He had said:
Wait for him to come to us.
At the time, Eugene had been confused.
Yet Louis had really come!
He Yu didn't explain. He only looked at Louis approaching and frowned slightly.
“Who are you?”
—His lofty young master image from a great Federation family remained perfectly maintained.
Louis stopped in front of He Yu and extended his hand with a brilliant smile.
“Hello. I am Louis, the manager of Ghost Town.”
He Yu looked at the hand and continued frowning, clearly having no intention of shaking it.
Seeing He Yu still “putting on airs,” Eugene immediately stepped forward and shook Louis's hand.
“Hello, my name is Eugene. This is my young master.”
When saying those last four words, he gritted his teeth almost imperceptibly.
【Bullet comments: “Hahahaha!!”】
【Bullet comments: “I'm dying laughing, Eugene is probably furious right now.”】
He really was furious.
But there was nothing he could do.
For advancement, for survival, he could only swallow his anger.
Louis didn't find it awkward.
A young master from a great family would be strange if he didn't have some arrogance.
After briefly shaking hands with Eugene, he immediately sensed Eugene's “high level.”
Unlike other races, the level of Mechanical Planet residents could be judged from their mechanical structures.
And no matter from which angle one looked, Eugene was outstanding among Mechanical Planet residents.
Thinking of this, Louis's eyes became noticeably more enthusiastic when looking at He Yu.
“This young master...”
“He Yu,” he said coldly.
He didn't mind revealing his full name.
Nor did he care if Louis realized there was no great family with the surname He.
Because that was impossible.
This wasn't the Federation.
This was an instance.
The instance would perfect its own settings but wouldn't reconstruct the entire Universe Federation.
Therefore, once “Young Master He Yu” appeared, the instance would supplement some identity for him.
Even if it didn't, at the very least, it wouldn't allow anyone to expose him.
He Yu maintained his proud expression and remained completely confident.
As expected, Louis wasn't surprised. His smile remained brilliant.
“Young Master He, welcome to Ghost Town. Please allow me to host you.”
As he spoke, he nodded slightly to someone nearby.
The man respectfully stepped forward, paid one hundred Federation coins at the stall, and under the owner's reluctant gaze, retrieved the combat equipment and carefully handed it over.
“Young Master He...”
Eugene: “!”
Something this good existed?!
Eugene suddenly understood.
So the person He Yu meant would pay—
Was Louis!
—How did he know Louis would come?
The bullet comments shared the same confusion. Countless viewers in He Yu's livestream were completely baffled.
Truthfully, if He Yu didn't explain something, or until the very end, ordinary people simply couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Even arrangements that appeared ordinary often concealed hidden meanings.
No one dared underestimate him anymore.
In the past, viewers had unanimously looked down on him.
But after everything up to now, even those who still didn't favor him no longer dared speak so confidently.
After all, they'd been slapped in the face more than once or twice.
Eugene reached out for his equipment.
Although he didn't really need it, a mosquito was still meat...
He Yu took it and casually tossed it to Lin.
“A tip.”
The owner clutched his chest but didn't dare say anything.
If only he'd hidden it away earlier!
Lin's eyes widened. Then he became overjoyed.
Holding the equipment, his body trembled from excitement. After a long while, he stammered:
“T-thank you, thank you, Young Master!”
This “Young Master” was called with absolute sincerity.
Eugene: “???”
Fuck!
He was so angry he wanted to kill someone, but he didn't dare show it. His face became even colder, and icy winds seemed to blow around him, making people's backs shiver uncontrollably.
—He Yu, just you wait!
Eugene silently raised a middle finger in his heart.
Louis's gaze became even deeper.
Not caring about combat equipment at all...
How extravagant.
“Young Master He, why not stay at my place tonight? Whatever interests you, whatever you'd like to know, you can ask me. I even keep ghosts in my residence. I can show them to you later.”
Louis smiled gently.
His attitude was humble but not servile, extremely pleasant.
He Yu's expression improved considerably.
He nodded slightly.
“We'll discuss it later. Tonight, I want to stay at Number One Shop and see whether the so-called best establishment lives up to its name.”
After a pause, he casually added:
“For tonight, send my robot to your residence. If you have anything to say or ask, talk to him.”
Eugene secretly signaled with his eyes, trying to get him to change his mind.
He knew what He Yu was doing.
Splitting their forces.
He would investigate the mansion first, while He Yu investigated Number One Shop.
Every second of the death countdown mattered. They didn't have much time.
Splitting up was the most efficient option.
But—
Could He Yu really handle it alone?
Louis looked slightly disappointed and stretched out his hand.
“Then allow me to accompany you.”
He Yu nodded and stepped forward.
Louis followed beside him.
After hesitating, Eugene moved to He Yu's other side.
Lin looked at the equipment in his hands, gritted his teeth, and continued following.
—He had already received a tip.
Naturally, he had to continue accompanying them.
Maybe there would be other benefits from traveling with such a young master.
Even if not, becoming familiar with him was already worthwhile.
—
Ghost Town was bustling at this hour.
People moved everywhere, shops on both sides were lively, all kinds of goods were sold, and endless shouts echoed.
Their group naturally attracted attention with Louis accompanying them.
Combined with He Yu's and Eugene's appearances, they were impossible to ignore.
Everyone made way for them, but couldn't help stealing glances.
Louis asked:
“Young Master He, what brought you to Ghost Town for tourism?”
He Yu replied:
“Fun. Lots of ghosts. Training.”
Louis smiled while secretly observing his expression.
“Ghost Town has become lively in recent years, but compared with the Main Planet, it's still far inferior. You've suffered coming here.”
He Yu nodded.
“It's not that great. Depends on whether the ghosts are interesting.”
He pouted slightly, clearly unhappy.
“My father wanted me to train, and my mother insisted on sending me here. Such a backwater place. I really don't understand what's so fun about it.”
Eugene: “...”
If I didn't know where you came from, I'd fucking believe you.
Deep inside, he was shocked and filled with admiration.
This He Yu—
His acting was too convincing!
If he became an actor, he'd definitely win awards.
Louis's eyes flashed.
He instantly understood.
Not only was He Yu from a great family—
He was a deeply beloved young master.
His family cherished him greatly.
Even when sending him out for training, they chose such a fancy place with almost no danger.
Clearly, they were terrified something might happen to him...
Louis lowered his voice.
“Then please don't worry. The ghosts here are very interesting. Whatever kind of ghosts you wish to see, we have them. I'll personally show them to you.”
“Mm.”
He Yu merely responded lightly.
After agreeing, he gave Eugene a look.
Eugene: “?”
—Holy shit, what are you trying to do now?!
He Yu's eyes emphasized:
Do it.
Eugene took a deep breath.
Curiosity appeared on his mechanical face as he looked at a nearby stall.
“These things look quite interesting...”
【Bullet comments: “HAHAHAHA!”】
【Bullet comments: “He Yu wants them but is worried about his image, so he's forcing Eugene to speak. I feel like Eugene is about to suffer internal injuries.”】
【Bullet comments: “At this rate, Eugene's death countdown won't hit zero first. He'll die from internal injuries... hahaha.”】
The genius of Mechanical Planet had never worried about money.
Now he had to ask for small trinkets to freeload.
It was truly unprecedented.
Louis explained:
“These are various defensive accessories against ghosts, but their defensive power is average.”
Eugene held back, but eventually forced out the words:
“I think they're pretty interesting.”
The aloof He Yu finally looked over and casually swept his eyes across them.
“The craftsmanship is poor and the defense is too low, but the appearance is acceptable. It has some rustic charm.”
The proud young master from a great family had praised them!
Even if seven parts were criticism, there were still three parts of praise!
Louis waved his hand.
“Pack them all for Young Master He. Consider them souvenirs from Ghost Town.”
Someone immediately began packing.
He Yu looked away in disdain but didn't say anything.
The servant prepared to hand everything to Eugene.
But Lin suddenly stepped in.
“I'll do it! I'll carry them for Young Master!”
—After receiving a tip, he naturally needed to do something and familiarize himself further.
He Yu said nothing.
Eugene, whose hand was hanging in the air: “???”
Not even one left for him?
Fuck, this was too much!
Even a mosquito was meat!
It was one thing if he couldn't get them himself, but now they had fallen into He Yu's hands!
—He refused to accept this!
Eugene shot He Yu a murderous glare and pretended not to notice the bags Lin was carrying.
On the way to Number One Shop, under He Yu's hints, Eugene found interest in many things.
Louis bought all of them for them.
Fortunately, none of He Yu's interests were expensive.
Otherwise, Louis's heart would really hurt.
Soon, the group arrived outside Number One Shop.
Louis introduced:
“This is Number One Shop. It's one of Ghost Town's most distinctive establishments and has excellent accommodations. If you wish to stay here, that's wonderful. If you change your mind, my residence will always welcome you.”
He Yu nodded.
“Understood.”
Just as he was about to enter—
A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
“He Yu! I finally found you!”
Several seconds after the voice sounded, a figure appeared.
After several leaps, he landed beside He Yu.
Holding an axe, with scars on his face and a towering, robust body, he radiated overwhelming combat power.
—Wanrenzhan!
He had been following He Yu all this time.
Only after arriving beside him did he realize how many people surrounded them.
Everyone was staring, confusion in their eyes.
Especially Louis.
Suspicion instantly appeared in his eyes.
Who was this person?
Wanrenzhan: “???”
What the hell happened?
He looked completely bewildered.
Both He Yu and Eugene twitched at the corners of their mouths speechlessly.
Of all times—
This guy had to arrive now.
Louis asked:
“Young Master He, who is this?”
Suspicion filled his gaze as he sized up Wanrenzhan, then looked back at He Yu and Eugene.
Could someone really speak so rudely to He Yu?
Something felt wrong.
Wanrenzhan opened his mouth.
Before he could speak—
Eugene stepped forward and put his hand on Wanrenzhan's shoulder, saying seriously:
“Wanrenzhan, although you grew up with Young Master, you must always remember that you're only Young Master's bodyguard. Stop calling Young Master by his name. If Madam finds out again, she'll punish you.”
He Yu sighed helplessly.
“Don't blame him. He once saved me, sigh...”
Eugene said sternly:
“Young Master, you can't spoil him anymore!”
Wanrenzhan: “???”
—What the fuck are you two talking about?
—Can somebody explain this to me?!
