This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 79: Death Countdown (5)Wanrenzhan was utterly bewildered. He even felt like his brain wasn't enough to process everything.
The axe he had been holding up drooped in confusion. His bulging muscles still looked intimidating, but paired with his dazed expression, the "bandit chief" instantly became a "big dummy." The murderous aura around him inexplicably vanished after Eugene rested an arm on his shoulder.
He looked at He Yu, then at Eugene, opened his mouth, and unconsciously repeated,
"Y-Young Master?"
Who was he talking about?
He Yu?
How had he become Young Master? Whose Young Master?
And bodyguard? Since when had he become He Yu's bodyguard?
Wanrenzhan was completely baffled, his face full of confusion. He couldn't make sense of anything and could only unconsciously repeat the two words Eugene kept mentioning—
"Young Master."
Eugene immediately nodded.
"That's right. Remember to call him Young Master in the future. Protect Young Master properly."
He then turned toward Louis and nodded slightly.
"Sorry for making a spectacle of ourselves. This is our Young Master's bodyguard. He grew up with Young Master and injured his head while saving him, so Young Master values him very much."
[Bullet comment: "Pfft hahaha! Wanrenzhan didn't damage his brain saving He Yu. His IQ just plummets every time he runs into He Yu."]
[Bullet comment: "I'm dying. Has nobody noticed that Eugene's 'Young Master' is becoming smoother and smoother?"]
Eugene's "Young Master" was becoming increasingly natural. At the beginning, saying it even once seemed like a humiliation, but now the words rolled off his tongue effortlessly, and he even took the initiative to say them.
The viewers were completely stunned.
"Hey—"
Wanrenzhan's eyes widened as he was about to explode.
—Who the hell injured his brain?!
—Who the hell was He Yu's bodyguard?!
He was about to roar in protest when Eugene tightened his mechanical arm and stopped him. Lowering his voice, he whispered quickly into his ear,
"No time to explain. For the sake of advancing, cooperate."
Wanrenzhan: "..."
He didn't know what was going on!
He didn't know what they were supposed to do!
But the phrase "advance to the next stage" shut him up.
He darkened his face and stopped talking. Since he didn't know what to say, he might as well say nothing.
Yet while confused, he also felt something complicated.
Hadn't they agreed to kill He Yu on sight?
How had Eugene not only failed to kill He Yu, but even become entangled with him?
Wanrenzhan had rushed over because he was worried someone else would kill He Yu.
Yet now, He Yu not only seemed perfectly fine—
He actually seemed to be doing quite well.
Louis finally understood. A look of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.
So the bodyguard had grown up with "Young Master" and had paid a price while protecting him. That was why there wasn't much distinction between master and servant, while Eugene, the servant, had scolded the bodyguard.
Very normal.
He just hadn't expected He Yu to be such a loyal and sentimental person.
Besides...
If Wanrenzhan had really grown up with He Yu...
Wasn't he aging a little too quickly?
Louis shook away the strange thought and put aside his suspicions.
"Not at all. Mr. Wanrenzhan is very powerful too. We respect all strong people."
No matter how dumb Wanrenzhan looked, the axe in his hand, his fierce physique, and the aura of an expert faintly leaking from him all proved that he was another powerhouse.
A powerhouse like him and the robotic Eugene could establish their own forces and become rulers on any planet.
Yet they were merely the Young Master's followers.
That only highlighted how extraordinary the He family was.
Louis became even more respectful.
"Young Master He, let's first go see Number One Inn. If you aren't satisfied, you can still stay at my place."
He Yu nodded.
"Mm. No matter where I stay, I'll stay with my bodyguard."
Louis smiled.
"No problem. A small matter."
Wanrenzhan: "..."
Who the hell was his bodyguard?!
Grinding his teeth in secret, he became increasingly irritated by He Yu's "arrogant" face.
But for the sake of advancing, he endured.
Although he still hadn't figured out what was happening, he was swept along by He Yu and Eugene's attitudes and unknowingly joined their "team," becoming Young Master's "bodyguard."
Wanrenzhan remained dazed the entire time and was even carried along into Number One Inn.
As Louis accompanied He Yu ahead, Eugene deliberately lagged behind for a few seconds and whispered into Wanrenzhan's ear,
"I know you're angry, but He Yu can't die right now. I'll explain everything later. Suppress your temper. There'll be plenty of opportunities to kill He Yu in the future. Don't rush."
Wanrenzhan looked at Eugene, then at He Yu ahead, and suddenly said,
"I'm not in a hurry."
His gaze toward Eugene even carried some sympathy.
"The one who's anxious isn't me. How did you end up like this?"
From his perspective, Eugene had "79" above his head, while He Yu had "96," the same as himself.
He originally had "99," but had lost three hours because of a side quest.
He had previously complained about his remaining time, but now...
Looking at Eugene...
Of course he wasn't anxious.
Eugene was definitely more anxious than him.
His death countdown was much shorter.
Thinking of this, Wanrenzhan couldn't help but feel pity and even revealed an expression of watching a good show.
Eugene: "?"
He didn't understand what Wanrenzhan meant.
Wanrenzhan hadn't mentioned the numbers over their heads, so Eugene naturally focused elsewhere.
Could it be that Wanrenzhan was pitying him and watching the show because he had become He Yu's "servant"?
Eugene snorted.
"The reason I agreed to play his servant is because it actually works. Following him lets us gather information quickly. Once everything is over and he's no longer useful, I'll kill him first thing... Hey, stop looking at me with that annoying expression."
Wanrenzhan: "..."
You have less time than He Yu. Are you sure you'll live long enough?
At that moment, He Yu's voice came from ahead.
"Keep up."
Eugene bumped Wanrenzhan with his shoulder, and the two immediately caught up, setting aside their discussion.
Their own matters could wait.
The important thing right now—
Was clues.
-
Number One Inn couldn't be considered top-tier by Federation standards, but it was indeed quite impressive.
Upon entering, one was greeted by a beautiful water curtain. A magnificent golden pathway ran beside it. Water splashed continuously, and the crystal-clear pool below was filled with blooming water lilies.
Along the road leading through the curtain, all kinds of ghosts were embedded in the walls. Rather than being unpleasant, they added a unique charm.
The floor was spotless, and the structure felt spacious and comfortable.
The massive chandelier overhead didn't contain Blue Star light bulbs, but a pearl.
The pearl resembled a gentle little sun that illuminated the entire area. Combined with the mist rising from the waterfall, the scene was breathtaking.
"Welcome!"
The proprietress of Number One Inn personally came out to receive them.
She wore a long dress and exuded elegance. Her mature charm radiated through every smile and gesture. Half her hair was pinned up, while the other half cascaded over her neck and down her chest, giving her a graceful beauty.
Her eyes remained fixed on He Yu. The moment he looked over, she stepped forward with ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) a smile.
"Young Master He, I only just learned of your arrival and wasn't able to greet you in advance. Please forgive me."
He Yu glanced at her and nodded faintly.
"Just arrange a good room."
Louis immediately added,
"Put it on my tab."
He Yu looked at him again and frowned slightly.
"No need. I'm not short of money. How vulgar."
[Bullet comment: "...You're really not short of money. You simply don't have any."]
[Bullet comment: "??? Why did He Yu refuse? I don't understand."]
[Bullet comment: "Calling money vulgar? This guy buys every random trinket he sees on the road..."]
Even Eugene widened his eyes.
He wanted to say something but held himself back.
Still, his anxiety was obvious.
Brother, you don't have money!
Don't get too carried away pretending to be Young Master. What if they ask you to pay?
"Heehee."
The proprietress covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"Young Master He, we've already reserved the finest room for you. Our staff are burning incense inside right now. I'm certain you'll be satisfied."
Her eyes curved pleasantly as she moved closer.
"You've finally come to Ghost Town. Meeting is fate. Why mention something as vulgar as money? I only hope you'll be satisfied. If you enjoy your stay, then that alone would honor me, Rao Jinhua. For a small inn like ours to welcome a guest such as yourself is truly a blessing."
Upon hearing this, the tension between He Yu's brows visibly relaxed.
His mood improved noticeably.
Rao Jinhua's smile grew even brighter.
"Come, Young Master He. This way, please."
Louis, who had been squeezed aside, glared unhappily at the proprietress.
His face clearly read—
Shameless! She's buttering him up!
Rao Jinhua raised her eyebrows in reply.
That's my skill.
And thus, in the battle over paying the bill—
The proprietress won through waiving the charge entirely.
He Yu no longer mentioned the "vulgar" subject of money and followed her inward, his steps even slightly lighter because of the flattery.
Eugene: "..."
Wanrenzhan: "..."
Bullet comments: "..."
None of them understood.
Why were people fighting to pay for a penniless man?
Neither genius Eugene from Mechanical Planet nor Wanrenzhan, champion of the previous <Top Talent Show>, had ever experienced this sort of thing.
Their minds only contained combat power and fighting.
They would never understand the reverence middle-class people held toward the upper class in the Federation, nor the enormous gulf between them.
And He Yu's image as a "young master of a great family" had simply been crafted too perfectly.
Not to mention—
The "bodyguard" and "servant" standing beside him were intimidating enough on their own. ...
