This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

He Yu had genuinely been prepared to let Eugene go. After all, his goal right now was to explore Love Planet, not to clash or compete with the other contestants.

But who could have expected that before they had even gotten close, merely noticing each other would attract the attention of Love Planet's rules?

Now, even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't.

He Yu had no desire to experience Love Planet's disasters, so he directed the broom downward toward Eugene.

Eugene wilted completely.

He hadn't wanted to enter the same instance as He Yu, yet they had ended up in the same battleground.

He hadn't wanted to run into He Yu, yet fate had still brought them together.

He Yu had clearly been about to turn around and leave!!

Eugene raised his middle finger at the sky.

"Damned Love Planet rules!"

Wasn't this deliberately torturing him? With the strongest support He Yu and the "couple" rule, a single dog like him had no human rights and could only passively get beaten...

—Those damned heavens weren't acting human. They were trying to take Eugene's life!

After cursing, he suddenly froze.

Wait, something wasn't right.

If He Yu had already formed a couple with someone, then why had there been an "Love Choice" notification?

Love Choice only targeted single people.

A light flashed through Eugene's eyes.

Heaven never blocked off all roads. This was a great opportunity.

His entire spirit instantly returned. He straightened his clothes, fixed his hair, then waited stylishly for the broom descending from above.

—Looks like it was time to display his charm and seduce He Yu.

He Yu landed on the broom.

Wanrenzhan was hanging upside down, so he was the first to touch the ground. He staggered twice before barely standing steady, his expression ugly.

Looking up, he happened to see the exposed mechanical arm opposite him, long legs stretched out, Eugene standing in a handsome trench coat while gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle...

Immediately, Wanrenzhan's face darkened even further.

At that moment, He Yu and Bo Jingshan had just landed.

The rapidly descending broom kicked up a gust of wind, raising clouds of dust that swept directly over Eugene, who was striking his "handsome pose." The peach-eyed Eugene was instantly buried in dirt...

Eugene spat furiously.

"Ptooey! Ptooey!"

His cool image shattered on the spot.

Wanrenzhan burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

He laughed without restraint.

Did Eugene really think he hadn't noticed that pose just now? He had definitely been trying to seduce He Yu!

—Served him right.

Eugene's face darkened. Fortunately, his skin was thick enough that he quickly recovered. Dusting himself off, he looked over.

Sure enough, there were three people.

He Yu and Bo Jingshan stepped off the broom side by side. Both had black hair and black eyes, and both were good-looking. They looked perfectly matched.

Meanwhile, Wanrenzhan, who had stumbled down earlier, was trapped inside a pink bubble with thunder and rain above his head, completely separated from the pair.

Eugene blinked.

For a moment, he couldn't tell which people in this group were the couple.

He blinked again and stared into the pink bubble.

"Wanrenzhan?"

His voice was full of confusion and disbelief.

After all, Wanrenzhan currently looked like a piece of charcoal. Only his silhouette vaguely revealed who he was.

Grinding his teeth, Wanrenzhan replied,

"What?"

Eugene threw his head back and laughed.

"How did you turn yourself into this? And the ball is pink too, hahaha! I'm dying!"

Wanrenzhan sneered.

"Heh. You still have the mood to laugh at me? Eugene, you should pity yourself. At least I have a protective barrier. Be careful you end up with nothing."

Eugene looked completely calm and raised an eyebrow.

"Among you three, one person must be single."

He wasn't stupid. One look at the situation was enough.

And it was obvious that a "couple" and one "single dog" could coexist peacefully, but if there were two "single dogs," they had to make a Love Choice.

Wanrenzhan hated Eugene's confident attitude.

And when he thought that the single person among them was He Yu, it felt even worse.

If He Yu and Eugene wanted to protect themselves, they would have to...

Become a couple.

The thought made Wanrenzhan grind his teeth with anger.

Why should Eugene get such a bargain?

Meanwhile, Eugene had already shifted his gaze. Blinking his peach blossom eyes, he looked deeply at He Yu.

"Yuyu, I've finally met you. After hearing the rules of this world, all I wanted was to become your lover. I don't like any of the other eight people. I only like you and want to pursue you."

—What a deeply affectionate confession.

Expressionless, He Yu asked,

"Who was begging us to leave immediately just now?"

If not for Love Planet's rules, they would already be far apart.

Eugene stiffened slightly before smiling and walking closer.

"Are you and Wanrenzhan lovers? What's so interesting about being with that rough guy? Break up and become a couple with me, Yuyu~"

Although He Yu and Bo Jingshan looked more like lovers, Wanrenzhan had a pink shield around him.

Most likely...

He Yu and Wanrenzhan were the couple, while Bo Jingshan was a Blue Star native whom He Yu had spared.

Having reached that conclusion, Eugene wanted only one thing—

Break up He Yu and Wanrenzhan!

If the strongest support had to be bound to someone, then naturally the best choice was himself.

And honestly, in terms of "lover" relationships, Eugene genuinely wanted to choose He Yu.

—Even though there was a risk of becoming unlucky.

Wanrenzhan snorted.

"You've got nice dreams. Being lovers with me is boring, but being with you isn't? A cold robot acting all proud, what's there to be smug about?"

He completely forgot that he and Bo Jingshan were the actual "couple." Seeing Eugene openly seducing He Yu, he immediately retorted.

Hearing that, Eugene became even more convinced that He Yu and Wanrenzhan were lovers and Bo Jingshan was the single one.

Blinking his peach blossom eyes, he said sweetly,

"Yuyu, although I'm from Mechanical Planet, my touch is exactly the same as an ordinary person's. In fact, because I'm customized, my proportions and size are even more perfect. And I'm considerate and gentle. I'll be your ideal partner."

Wanrenzhan exploded.

He immediately yanked Eugene away from He Yu.

"What the hell are you saying? Like everyone else's proportions aren't perfect? Come compare with me if you've got guts and see who's more perfect. You're just a lousy robot, what are you so proud of?"

Eugene sneered.

"Still better than your scarred face. Ugly beyond belief."

Wanrenzhan snorted.

"These scars are symbols of a hero! And even with scars, I'm not ugly. This is called masculinity. My physique is way better than yours, you robot."

"Heh, I don't believe it."

"Come on, let's strip and compare!"

...

Bo Jingshan turned to He Yu thoughtfully.

"Need me to cover your ears?"

Although He Yu was also a man, the Universe Federation differed from Blue Star. Gender wasn't an issue here, and men targeting men wasn't unusual. The two of them insisting on "comparing" were obviously just trying to curry favor with He Yu.

He Yu shook his head.

"No need."

He looked toward the arguing pair and spoke lightly.

"So, how much time do you think Love Choice will give you?"

The moment those words fell, both men stopped arguing.

Wanrenzhan didn't mind wasting Eugene's time, but he didn't want to waste He Yu's.

Although he himself didn't understand why he felt that way.

Eugene immediately looked at He Yu, his gaze affectionate.

"Yuyu~ Break up with Wanrenzhan and throw yourself into my arms."

He Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Have you forgotten the rules? Unless you've chosen to secretly love me, you have no right to initiate Love Choice with me."

He paused.

"And your secret crush definitely isn't me. Based on your personality... hmm, you'd probably choose Jun, the person most likely to ensure your safety."

Bo Jingshan and Wanrenzhan stood quietly beside him.

Even though He Yu was making things up, neither exposed him.

—Whenever He Yu set a trap, someone would suffer.

Eugene hadn't expected him to guess correctly. After staring deeply at He Yu, he grinned and produced a card.

"Of course. Because after entering the battleground, I picked up this: Relationship Block Card."

Bo Jingshan and Wanrenzhan froze.

There was actually such a card in this battleground?

And Eugene had only found it after entering...

He Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Your luck is good."

With ten contestants already tangled in complicated relationships, the existence of such a card would only create even more chaos.

How interesting.

This instance was becoming more entertaining by the second.

Eugene continued releasing charm, his voice low and gentle.

"Yeah, my luck is great. So, Yuyu, become my lover. I'll protect you well and never let anyone hurt you."

Those tender eyes seemed capable of drowning a person.

Ignoring him, He Yu calmly analyzed,

"Relationship Block Card. It blocks couple relationships and secret crushes, right? There are probably restrictions too. Once blocked, the affected person can't form a new relationship for twenty-four hours?"

Eugene stared at him deeply.

"He Yu, you're truly smart."

Just because of his reaction, He Yu had guessed he possessed a trump card.

And just because of the card's name, He Yu had correctly guessed its function.

He Yu was truly wise to the point of seeming demonic.

He Yu simply adjusted his glasses.

"And what if I refuse?"

Eugene waved his fingers.

The card vanished.

"Block relationship between He Yu and Wanrenzhan."

Wanrenzhan and Bo Jingshan both froze.

Eugene burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Finally safe!"

He Yu remained expressionless and looked calmly at Eugene.

"You've been testing our relationship all along. You weren't sure whether Bo Jingshan and I were a couple or whether Wanrenzhan and I were, so you didn't use the card immediately."

As for why he used it now, the answer was obvious.

—Eugene had been wary of them.

Although one among the three was a single dog, that didn't mean Eugene was safe.

He had to make a Love Choice with the single person, but before that happened, the couple could kill him while he was unable to retaliate.

Once he died, Love Choice would become void.

Since they hadn't revealed anything when they arrived, Eugene naturally became suspicious.

If they genuinely wanted cooperation, they would have immediately told him who was paired with him.

Since they said nothing, Eugene became suspicious.

He had tricked them into revealing who had a relationship and immediately cut it apart, turning all four people into single dogs.

In that chaos, he would have room to maneuver.

Eugene smugly pointed at Wanrenzhan.

"If I'm right, Wanrenzhan still has the 'Mutual Killing' debuff. He must bind with someone, so you can't kill me, and you won't kill me."

Laughing wildly, he stepped onto a nearby rock and shook his leg triumphantly.

Wanrenzhan: "..."

Bo Jingshan: "..."

Both stared at him like he was an idiot.

There was even sympathy in their eyes.

Meeting those gazes, Eugene froze.

Several seconds passed.

No new notification appeared.

Eugene blinked.

"...?"

He looked at the calm He Yu, then at Wanrenzhan and Bo Jingshan, whose eyes were filled with mockery.

A terrible premonition slowly rose from his feet and wrapped around his entire body.

Suddenly, he remembered Dawn Training School, where they had prepared to challenge He Yu only for him to appear as an NPC teacher.

He remembered Who Is the Undercover, where they had found He Yu and intended to kill him... only for the big cat to appear and beat them senseless.

He remembered the final reversal in Death Countdown and that mirror which had been hanging there from the very beginning...

—Holy shit!

His pupils trembled.

Looking at He Yu, he opened his mouth weakly.

"He Yu... you're not setting me up again, are you? Did I walk into another trap?"

【Bullet Screen: "Mocking Eugene makes me feel sorry for him too."】

【Bullet Screen: "Look at the poor kid. He's practically developed He Yu-induced PTSD..."】

He Yu shook his head.

"I'm not tricking you."

Eugene let out a sigh of relief.

He Yu continued,

"It's just that the couple among us is those two. The one who has to make a Love Choice with you is me."

Eugene: "???"

His eyes widened as he stared at Wanrenzhan and Bo Jingshan.

His gaze seemed to scream—

He Yu was [N O V E L I G H T] right there, and you two still became lovers? How heavy are your tastes?!

The two men: "..."

Did he think they wanted this?

Wanrenzhan already felt miserable.

But as soon as that feeling appeared, it doubled.

Obviously, his "partner" was miserable too.

Which made him even more miserable.

Taking a deep breath, Eugene plastered a smile onto his face.

"He Yu, I really don't have any ill intentions. I was just protecting myself. Even then, I never once wanted to hurt you. I genuinely wanted to become your lover. This outcome is perfect. Let's become lovers."

His voice was gentle.

His heart was bleeding.

Had he known this would happen, why would he have wasted such a precious Relationship Block Card?

He Yu had definitely done this on purpose.

He had deliberately tricked him into wasting it.

Too vicious!

Walking over to He Yu, Eugene lowered his head slightly.

White hair fell beside his sexy profile. His gaze was affectionate, and his voice became hoarse and ambiguous.

Word by word, he whispered softly,

"Yuyu... let's love each other..."

【Bullet Screen: "Damn! Eugene is so seductive!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Wuwuwu, worthy of Eugene. Who the hell could resist this?"】

【Bullet Screen: "My ship is becoming real! He Yu, agree to him!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Eugene is actually seducing him. Too shameless. He Yu don't! Zhen Xing is rushing over as fast as he can!"】

Hearing this, He Yu raised his head.

His beautiful black eyes shimmered.

As he looked seriously at Eugene, the stars in his eyes reflected only Eugene, as if there were no one else in them, as if his whole world contained only him.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly.

Meeting Eugene's affectionate gaze, sparks crackled between them.

Eugene became completely stunned.

【Bullet Screen: "AHHHH I'M SHIPPING THEM TO DEATH!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Fuck, I'm dead. Just get married on the spot!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Kiss him! Kiss him!"】

Wanrenzhan ground his teeth and wanted to charge over with his axe, but Bo Jingshan held him back.

Meanwhile, He Yu slowly raised his hand.

Those slender fingers with distinct joints gently pressed against Eugene's chest.

His dark eyes never left Eugene.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump—

Eugene heard his own heartbeat accelerating wildly.

He kept looking down at He Yu. The two were standing extremely close, so close that their warm breaths seemed to brush against each other's faces.

Subconsciously, Eugene swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He Yu smiled.

"Eugene, I originally didn't mind teaming up with you, but—"

The curve on his lips disappeared.

His unfathomably dark eyes spread open, revealing nothing but coldness and indifference.

Eugene froze.

He Yu's voice was icy to the extreme.

"Become your lover? Heh."

The finger pressing against Eugene's chest pushed harder. At that moment, Eugene actually felt killing intent.

A terrifying killing intent.

Coming from He Yu.

—He Yu wanted to kill him!

Eugene unconsciously stepped back twice, widening the distance between them, shock filling his eyes.

"You're afraid of me."

He Yu lowered his hand, expression cold.

"Can you see clearly now? Am I a weakling who needs your protection, or some lover willing to depend on you?"

Cooperation was just cooperation, yet Eugene kept talking about lovers and intimacy...

Was he trying to develop some unusual relationship?

He Yu remained expressionless, but his entire body radiated chill.

Suddenly, Eugene remembered Ice Snow Paradise, when He Yu had calmly changed clothes right in front of them.

—Fundamentally, he and He Yu perceived things differently.

And worse, while He Yu held the initiative, he had actually tried to seduce him with male charms!

A miscalculation.

【Bullet Screen: "..."】

【Bullet Screen: "???"】

【Bullet Screen: "...I always thought only Wanrenzhan was a combat-type straight man. Who would've thought even the gorgeous-looking He Yu is one too? Damn it, I refuse to accept this!!"】

The audience was dumbfounded.

What kind of joke was this?

They had been shipping wildly, all sorts of pairings flying around, with most of them centered around He Yu. If it suddenly turned out that He Yu was straight...

Forget betting on which ship was real. Every ship would sink together!

—Wait, He Yu never said he was straight. He just disliked Eugene's attitude! Excellent, Eugene loses points, everyone else survives.

Eugene opened his mouth.

"I'm sorry..."

After apologizing, his shamelessness recovered. He leaned forward again with a flattering smile.

"My mistake. I'll be serious. We have a very healthy battle partnership. Becoming lovers is just because of the rules. We're temporary partners, good comrades!"

Though he said that, an inexplicable emptiness appeared inside him.

He violently shook his head, throwing away that strange emotion.

He Yu stared at him quietly.

Eugene practically swore an oath.

"It's true, Lord He! We're absolutely the best partners, destined to sweep through instances together!"

He Yu still stared without speaking.

Eugene wailed.

"I was wrong! I really was wrong! There's almost no time left. Just agree to team up with me!"

He Yu smiled faintly.

"Yes, there's no time left."

He looked toward Wanrenzhan.

"I order you to choose Gedai as your secret crush and obtain his location."

Wanrenzhan froze.

Eugene froze too.

—Why involve Gedai all of a sudden?

—And why secretly love Gedai?

In an instant, realization struck both Wanrenzhan and Eugene.

Wanrenzhan's eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

Eugene exploded.

"???"

"He Yu! Be human!"

—Holy shit, that was too ruthless!

—

Gedai was diligently digging.

Yes, digging.

He was excavating the collapsed house, intending to tunnel underground.

Unlike the other contestants desperately searching for people, Gedai had calmly taken another route after seeing the participants in this instance.

He had no intention of searching.

Ten contestants.

All experts.

Most likely nobody would die on the first day.

Which meant someone would eventually be left alone.

Someone would eventually come looking for him.

All he had to do was wait.

Why waste energy searching?

—He only hoped the one left alone wouldn't be Eugene.

Although pairing with anyone else would still be unpleasant, this was a competition, and some sacrifice was acceptable.

But Eugene?

Heh.

Gedai felt he could vomit two liters of blood.

Forget such terrifying thoughts.

Maybe he'd be lucky and He Yu would be left alone.

Shaking his head, Gedai continued digging.

The reason for digging was the instance mission.

The requirement of this instance—

Live on Love Planet for thirty days.

No matter how hungry one became inside an instance, entering a transfer station restored everyone to peak condition. Federation physiques were strong enough that starving for several days wasn't fatal.

But this instance was different.

Thirty days.

Even experts like them would have difficulty enduring without nutrient solutions.

Food was absolutely necessary.

Remembering the dried fish He Yu had brought out in Ice Snow Paradise, Gedai also wanted to stockpile supplies in advance.

Once he encountered the other contestants, conflicts and schemes would surely begin.

And previously, Eugene had removed his own head and used it as a detector...

Hmhm.

Who said he wasn't a Mechanical Planet native too?

Using his head, he had discovered edible things underground and immediately started digging enthusiastically.

He dug so attentively that he failed to notice—

A broom rushing toward him.

By the time he reacted, four people had already landed before him.

Standing inside the pit, Gedai was stunned.

He Yu, Wanrenzhan, Bo Jingshan, and...

Eugene!

"Why are you here?"

His eyes instantly became vigilant.

Four people.

Most likely two couples.

Were they here to kill him?!

Gedai's breathing stopped.

He retreated several steps instinctively, lips pressed tightly together, his eyes growing increasingly nervous.

Just then, a clear voice sounded inside his head—

【Please make your Love Choice within one minute!】

Eugene sucked in a cold breath.

The previous notification had only said "as soon as possible" without specifying a time limit, allowing He Yu's group to waste time.

This time, the rules directly gave them one minute.

Not even enough time to think.

Gedai froze again.

Climbing out of the pit, he asked blankly,

"What happened? You people..."

Four people.

But not two couples?

Confused, he also felt delighted.

A chance to survive.

He Yu said,

"Fifty seconds left. Gedai, either die, or choose love with Eugene."

Gedai: "?"

His pupils shrank.

"What?!"

Wanrenzhan was in an exceptionally good mood. Hugging his axe, he explained with malicious delight.

"Because Eugene offended He Yu."

Gedai: "??"

—Eugene offended him, what the hell does that have to do with me?!

Gedai exploded.

"He offended you, what does that have to do with me? If you're unhappy, kill him! Kill him and the four of us become two couples!"

Toward the end, he even started tempting them.

He had no idea what happened, but clearly there were still single people among these four.

Five people was too many.

Killing Eugene was perfect.

Grinding his teeth, Eugene pleaded,

"He doesn't agree. He Yu, I was wrong. Let's team up..."

He Yu smiled slightly.

"He'll agree."

"Bo Jingshan. Wanrenzhan."

The moment he spoke, the two lunged toward Gedai.

【10, 9...】

One side was the countdown.

The other side was a pair of lovers trying to kill him.

Gedai's face darkened.

"He Yu! Aren't you afraid that after Eugene and I become lovers, we'll threaten you?!"

Single people had no status.

Why did He Yu dare remain single?

He Yu stood calmly without moving.

【3, 2...】

"Love!"

Eugene and Gedai shouted together.

Afterward, both faces turned green while they cursed furiously inside.

Eugene:

Petty He Yu!

Gedai:

Damn it, what does this have to do with me?! I was peacefully digging and got dragged into this disaster!

【Congratulations, Eugene and Gedai have become Love Planet lovers. You are protected by Love Planet and have obtained the Love Barrier!】

The familiar pink bubble.

The familiar fireworks.

The familiar rainbow bridge...

Romantic pink light enveloped Eugene and Gedai.

Because they were both Mechanical Planet natives, mechanical elements floated along the rainbow bridge.

It looked exactly like—

A Mechanical Planet wedding ceremony.

Both Eugene and Gedai turned green.

Their expressions were ugly.

One clenched his fists.

The other stared gloomily at He Yu.

As if they were about to attack him in the next second.

After being forced into a relationship and gaining Love Planet's protection, they now had the right to attack single He Yu.

Both men thought the same thing.

And then—

They sensed each other's thoughts.

As the rainbow bridge disappeared, the connection became even stronger.

Because they were both mechanical beings with similar internal structures, their link was deeper.

They could even vaguely perceive each other's little secrets.

Eugene stared.

"?? Gedai, you've wanted to kill me this badly?"

Gedai's face was even uglier.

"Eugene! You've been plotting against me all along!"

"So back on Mechanical Planet, you and An Mingke were planning a huge scheme to take my life!"

"My failed mechanical exam was because you tampered with it behind my back!"

"So Old Ai really was your accomplice!"

"Before entering Top Talent Show, you'd already turned Cheng to your side and kept him around me!"

...

Gedai's face darkened.

"Eugene, how many things have you done?"

Eugene sneered.

"Gedai, I didn't expect so many dirty tricks from you either."

Through gritted teeth, Gedai growled,

"You carry the title of Mechanical Planet's number one youth and act superior every day, but I could never catch up to you because you were secretly sabotaging me and suppressing my strength!"

Eugene laughed coldly.

"And you did less? You used every possible means to drag me down. If we hadn't entered Top Talent Show, you and your people would've already killed me."

Both stared murderously at each other.

After becoming lovers, Wanrenzhan and Bo Jingshan could only vaguely sense emotions and thoughts.

But Eugene and Gedai could vaguely see things they wanted from each other's hearts.

And because they understood each other so well, a few blurry impressions were enough to reveal many truths.

And so they learned what the other had done.

Gedai's mechanical arm transformed into a blade.

Eugene's chainsaw whirred.

Both shifted slightly, eager to move.

Beside them, He Yu kindly reminded,

"Lovers can't attack each other. You'll be erased. But some intimate actions should be allowed."

The moment he finished—

Both men pounced on each other.

Through gritted teeth, Eugene snarled,

"Darling, let me touch your face."

Smack!

Half of Gedai's face instantly swelled red.

With bloodshot eyes, Gedai growled,

"Darling, you've gotten thinner."

His hand grabbed Eugene's arm, nearly dislocating it.

"Darling, let me check your shoulders."

"Your hands must be tired. Let me massage them."

"What's wrong with your head? Let me see."

"I'll examine your eyes. Your eyesight has always been bad."

The two rolled together in a ball, one punch for one punch, one slap for one blow.

Soon they were bruised all over, inseparable.

【Bullet Screen: "...Real-life lovers turning against each other?"】

【Bullet Screen: "These two becoming a couple is just..."】

【Bullet Screen: "They genuinely want to kill each other. Those eyes are terrifying."】

【Bullet Screen: "So... have they already forgotten they wanted revenge on He Yu after becoming a couple?"】

He Yu calmly watched them "embracing" each other.

Then he smiled.

A smile so chilling that it made one's hair stand on end.

"Look how affectionate they are."

"What Love Planet wants to see..."

"Should be couples whose relationship is this close and intimate."
