This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

It took a total of six hours for the barren world to become a primeval forest.

The Demonic Withered Vine’s “abundant” emotions nourished the Tree of Life, allowing it to recover its vitality. The revived Tree of Life then caused plants to begin growing across the world. With “sufficient nourishment,” the Tree of Life grew wildly, and the plants across the entire planet went mad along with it, instantly covering the whole planet and turning it into a primeval forest.

But anyone who had seen the barren scenery before would never dislike this world.

Taking a deep breath, one could smell vitality and oxygen.

The scent of life.

Zhen Xing and the others looked at the green below, then looked at the black figure standing beside He Yu...

This guy had abundant emotions.

But he was also absolutely ferocious.

Luckily, they didn't have to fight this guy!

Otherwise, what chance of victory would they have?

This was a survival instance. Now that the Tree of Life had recovered its vitality, this world no longer had any possibility of destruction. So, as long as they maintained peace and didn't fight among themselves, surviving the remaining twenty days should be very easy, right?

Thinking of that, everyone let out a long breath.

Wanrenzhan also looked at the black figure with complicated eyes.

The Tree of Life had benefited, and naturally, the Demonic Withered Vine had also benefited. The black figure had become unprecedentedly clear and solid.

He even suspected that the Demonic Withered Vine could already transform into a “human form,” just like the ghost Li, only it still wrapped itself in black mist.

Its upper body was a humanoid black figure, while below was a long vine.

—Although it was somewhat humanoid, in the end, it was still a vine.

—And moreover, it was a vine from an instance, something they had only met “once.”

Thinking of this, Wanrenzhan lifted his chin slightly and recovered a little confidence.

Little Green did not know that someone had relaxed because of him, nor did he know that someone had found confidence from him. His eyes remained fixed on He Yu, anxious and nervous.

—Would he be angry?

But he really couldn't control it.

Little Green looked at He Yu hesitantly, his blue eyes serious. Seeing that He Yu had been staring ahead the entire time, he couldn't help but speak.

“I-I really didn't do it on purpose...”

He Yu finally turned to look at him. His rimless glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, and he shook his head.

“It's fine. This is pretty good too.”

The blue eyes brightened. Little Green immediately moved even closer to He Yu, the black mist brushing against He Yu's white fur coat. They were “pressed” together, the vine twisting slightly, its leaves trembling.

A moment later, Little Green stretched out his hand.

His “hand” was not a human “hand,” but a slender vine tip. The thin vines on it bared their claws wildly, but when they reached He Yu, the vine tip trembled slightly. The little bud slowly turned into a flower bud, blooming into a beautiful little flower.

He brought the little flower before He Yu.

Even to—

His lips.

A vine simply had a simple mind. He was very fixated on that feeling, so he bloomed another flower. The wish for “one more time” was extremely obvious, practically written in his eyes.

He Yu: “...”

Before he could speak, the white flower trembled, and the blue eyes turned red again.

—He had thought of that feeling just now again!

My god, just thinking about it made his emotions surge. He couldn't control himself anymore!

Below, the Tree of Life started growing again...

The other plants in the primeval forest followed...

He Yu said helplessly,

“...Enough. Stop.”

He didn't mind a primeval forest, but if it kept growing like this, this world would lose its balance. When that happened, the planet would still be destroyed, and there would be no need to wait twenty more days.

Little Green guiltily withdrew the little flower. His leaves curled together slightly, clearly embarrassed and ashamed.

The Tree of Life...

Grew another section.

Everyone: “???”

—Very good. They had gone from worrying that the Tree of Life would die to worrying that the Tree of Life would overgrow and destroy the planet.

It was all the fault of this overly emotional Demonic Withered Vine!

Just as everyone fell silent, an excited roar rang out from below—

“AAAAH! I succeeded!”

“I, Duan Yuchen, finally succeeded in forging! Hahahaha—what the fuck happened to the world?!”

The excited voice forcibly turned halfway through, filled with shock and confusion.

Duan Yuchen was dumbfounded.

He had only forged something.

How had the sky turned dark by the time he finished?

Holding the equipment, Duan Yuchen looked up, his face completely blank.

Of course, he could tell that this wasn't “the sky turning dark,” but—

The lush plants had blocked out the sky.

What had happened?

He really had sensed some major change just now, but at the time, he had been forging. Moreover, he had actually felt a little of the “energy” He Yu talked about, so he had immediately focused all his attention on it. How could he have spared any mind for his surroundings?

Now that the forging had succeeded, he seemed to have run into a completely different world...

And beside him, He Yu and the others had all disappeared.

Above him, He Yu and the others also fell silent.

Oh.

The world had undergone a tremendous change, and when they ran, of course they each took care of themselves. Who had the mind to care about someone else? Although things were fairly harmonious right now, this was still a killing competition, not one loving family.

Hearing Duan Yuchen's voice, however, they still became curious.

—He really forged something?

—Using He Yu's forging method?

He Yu descended on the broom. Below them, the Tree of Life's canopy had covered everything tightly, leaving no light at all. But when they landed, Little Green moved the vines aside, and Eugene's chainsaw mechanical arm sawed off a small portion of the Tree of Life's branches.

The previous Tree of Life had been pitiful and miserable, making them too embarrassed to attack it.

Now the Tree of Life was flourishing to a terrifying degree. The little bit he sawed off had no effect whatsoever.

Instead, it cleared out a sunlit area below.

The sky finally brightened.

Duan Yuchen narrowed his eyes, adjusting to the light, and looked up at the people flying down from above.

They were all still here.

Not a single one missing.

And they had come down from above...

Duan Yuchen: “???”

What was there not to understand!

When the world had changed and they had fled for their lives, they hadn't brought him!

He took a deep breath and was just about to say something when He Yu asked,

“You succeeded in forging?”

The moment forging was mentioned, Duan Yuchen immediately forgot what he had been about to say. His face filled with excitement as he threw his head back and laughed.

“Hahaha, as expected of me! He Yu, I really succeeded!”

He stretched out his hand and opened his palm. Inside lay the thing he had forged.

Everyone looked over.

It was a ring.

It looked no different from an ordinary ring, but as experts who had dealt with equipment for years, they could all see that this was equipment, and not ordinary equipment either.

Eugene became curious. He stepped forward, picked it up, and examined it.

“How do you use this? What's its combat power?”

Duan Yuchen said proudly,

“Combat power: 50!”

Everyone: “...”

Gedai was speechless.

“The Broken Moon Curved Blade He Yu forged has combat power 500. Your thing only has 50...”

So what was there to be proud and smug about?

Duan Yuchen stiffened slightly and hurriedly coughed, covering his guilt. Raising his voice, he said,

“Although it's only 50, I actually managed to use energy! In the future, with my unremitting effort, I'll definitely be able to forge equipment with combat power 500.”

Everyone looked suspicious, clearly not believing him much.

Of course, Duan Yuchen himself didn't believe it much either. The reason he had managed to forge this equipment just now really wasn't because he had suddenly learned how to use energy. It was because the Demonic Withered Vine had undergone a mutation, the Tree of Life and the entire world had changed drastically, vitality had flourished, and energy had surged.

He just so happened to be forging at the time, desperately trying to find the so-called “energy.” At that moment, there was too much energy, and by coincidence, he had drawn a little of it and washed it through the equipment.

—It had taken far too many coincidences to forge it.

But at least he had forged it.

Moreover, his “perception” of energy had deepened another step.

Duan Yuchen was still proud. He took the ring back, put it on his hand, and raised his hand.

“Let me demonstrate. This equipment is different from ordinary equipment with combat power 50.”

After saying that, he moved his hand. A blade light shot out from the ring, directly cutting down most of the dense wild grass ahead.

Duan Yuchen did not stop. His hand kept waving.

Swish, swish, swish—

Slash, slash, slash—

The area ahead was quickly cleared by blade light. The blade lights were crescent-shaped, like sickles, with astonishing destructive power. Broken grass covered the ground, and much of it still floated in the air.

Duan Yuchen turned back.

“How is it?”

Usually, he was an extremely rational person, but when it came to forging, he absolutely could not remain rational.

Eugene sneered.

“Nothing special. A thing with combat power 50 is only like this. But the equipment itself is small and exquisite, which is quite rare.”

This thing was far inferior to his mechanical arm. If he attacked these grasses, his mechanical arm would only need one strike.

Zhen Xing and Bo Jingshan withdrew their gazes, not very interested.

Wanrenzhan also looked calm. He only liked equipment that could increase his axe's combat power. A little ring like this, even with combat power 50, did not interest him much.

Siya, however, liked it very much. She stepped forward, eyes slightly bright.

“Can you trade it to me? I like this equipment a lot.”

Duan Yuchen refused without hesitation.

“No. This is the first piece of equipment I forged with the new forging method. I'm going to use it myself.”

It wasn't only commemorative. He truly did not have much usable equipment right now.

Siya said,

“You're not suited for this kind of equipment. Besides, it ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) only has 50 combat power. Give it to me, and later you can forge something more suitable for yourself. I have some precious forging materials I can give you.”

Hearing this, Duan Yuchen paused slightly.

Siya was right. This equipment did seem not very suitable for him, and it really wasn't that powerful yet...

He couldn't help looking at He Yu.

“What do you think of this equipment?”

Although he knew there was a high probability that he would hear an unfriendly evaluation, he still couldn't resist asking He Yu.

Unexpectedly, He Yu said,

“Very good.”

Everyone froze.

They all looked toward them. Even Duan Yuchen himself was a little stunned.

He Yu stretched out his hand.

“Let me see.”

Duan Yuchen obediently handed it to him, his eyes confused.

When He Yu looked down on his forging skills, he had been extremely dissatisfied. But when He Yu truly praised him, he inexplicably felt that something was strange...

Even Duan Yuchen himself thought this mentality was extremely bizarre.

He Yu didn't care what he was thinking. He slipped the ring onto his hand, then lightly waved it forward.

Ahead, a newly grown tree thick enough for one person to wrap their arms around fell from the root. Even a small tree behind it fell as well.

[Bullet Screen: “!! My god, is this He Yu's first time attacking?”]

[Bullet Screen: “Not really. During the sea selection, he dug out fish meat. After that, he basically only supported and commanded others. He hasn't personally made a move...”]

[Bullet Screen: “Not easy. We finally saw He Yu attack.”]

[Bullet Screen: “Wow! Look quickly, He Yu's combat power turned into 58!!”]

The audience became excited.

However, as soon as their excitement rose, He Yu removed the ring from his hand and handed it back to Duan Yuchen.

His combat power returned to: 8.

The audience: “...”

—Are you just unable to get away from this 8 or what!!

He Yu looked at Duan Yuchen and sincerely praised him.

“Not bad. This equipment is forged very well. Moreover, it gave me new inspiration.”

Duan Yuchen: “?”

He asked blankly,

“What inspiration?”

Looking at the ring, He Yu's lips curved slightly.

“A very good inspiration.”

After saying that, he took out his notebook, lowered his head, and began writing and drawing.

Duan Yuchen was truly curious. He leaned over.

“He Yu, really can't you explain it to me in more detail?”

He Yu shook his head while writing.

“It's only inspiration. I'm still not sure whether it's feasible.”

—He was the kind of person who only spoke when something had at least eighty percent certainty.

Everyone had even gotten used to it.

From anxious anger at the beginning to now...

Taking it for granted.

Was this what happened after being abused again and again?

Everyone shuddered.

He Yu walked aside and sat down. He wanted to place the notebook on his knees to write, but several vines in front of him wove together into a “desk.”

He raised his head and glanced over.

Little Green awkwardly looked away.

The corners of He Yu's mouth lifted. He lowered his head and seriously continued writing and drawing. Occasionally, he stopped his pen, deep in thought. Clearly, he was digging further into the inspiration from just now.

Duan Yuchen and the others scratched their ears and cheeks in impatience, but they had no idea what He Yu had thought of.

The audience was the same.

They could see what He Yu wrote. The system had a translation function and could translate any language.

But He Yu wasn't using any language.

He was drawing diagrams and symbols that couldn't be translated!

[Bullet Screen: “...Can He Yu understand that himself?”]

[Bullet Screen: “There seems to be no need to worry about his intelligence, right? Instead of worrying about him, you might as well pity your own IQ.”]

[Bullet Screen: “I suspect these diagrams and symbols are something he made up himself, just to stop us from peeking!!”]

That guess was correct.

He Yu didn't want them to see.

There was nothing remarkable about Duan Yuchen's equipment. In fact, even its success was because of the energy eruption that had coincidentally washed through the equipment. But it truly had given He Yu inspiration.

Whether it was the Federation's forging technique or He Yu's forging technique, both placed “energy” into equipment.

The Federation could not use energy, so they placed very little.

He Yu could use it, so he placed a lot.

No matter what kind of equipment it was, it required the user to have a certain degree of physical strength, especially combat power equipment. He Yu could barely use it, but it greatly harmed his body and was extremely painful.

Of course, none of that was a problem.

As long as He Yu wanted to, he could improve his physical constitution at any time. He simply felt there was no need.

Eight combat power was quite good.

As long as he was alive, he could make every person in the Universe Federation understand—

Combat power was not the key to victory.

Nor was it that important.

Returning to forging and equipment.

Placing energy inside equipment had limits, and equipment could only display power up to that limit. For example, Federation combat power equipment with 50, or the Broken Moon Curved Blade's 500.

But the ring was a different situation.

It did not possess 50 energy itself.

Instead, it could mobilize 50 energy.

The equipment currently used would sooner or later be abandoned. Then in the future, aside from something like the Broken Moon Curved Blade, could there be another kind of weapon?

For example...

Like him.

Something that did not possess much energy itself, but could mobilize all naturally existing energy?

He Yu lowered his eyes in thought. His glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, making him look exquisite, refined, and handsome.

Blue Star Little Green dragged his vine tail and coiled beside He Yu. His blue eyes stared at him constantly, as if he could never get enough.

—So beautiful.

—No matter how he looked, he was beautiful.

Siya pressed,

“Duan Yuchen, are you going to trade it to me or not?”

Duan Yuchen said,

“No.”

He had originally not wanted to trade it. Now that even He Yu thought it was pretty good, he wanted to trade it even less!

Siya: “...”

She choked, but thinking that he was a forging master, she asked again,

“Then can you help me forge a piece of equipment?”

Duan Yuchen waved his hand.

“We'll talk about it later.”

He walked toward He Yu, especially wanting to know exactly what inspiration He Yu had received...

When he drew closer, He Yu lifted his eyelids and looked at him from above his glasses, saying faintly,

“Are you here to sign an IOU?”

Duan Yuchen: “...”

—He hadn't been originally, but since he had come, he probably had to sign one now.

“Three hundred thousand Federation coins.”

He Yu handed him a certain page of the notebook.

Duan Yuchen wrote the IOU with practiced ease and glanced at it in passing. Over these ten days, he had wasted quite a lot of forging materials. Many of them had been found by the others. He Yu had estimated the price, and after using them up, Duan Yuchen had to come sign an IOU.

Not only did he sign them. For equipment he forged but did not want to use himself, if someone else took it, they had to sign an IOU too. Even Bo Jingshan had signed one for the Broken Moon Curved Blade.

—Who made everything in this world Little Green's, and Little Green was He Yu's partner?

All materials belonged to He Yu.

Duan Yuchen's labor also belonged to He Yu.

So approximately...

Everything belonged to He Yu.

He Yu was just that domineering.

But if they wanted to survive, they had to listen.

Among all the IOUs, Duan Yuchen's page was the longest and most numerous. He signed rather boldly and casually, and the audience also felt it didn't matter. After all, only one of them could get out.

This was simply a rotten account.

[Bullet Screen: “...With so many IOUs, if Duan Yuchen and He Yu get out together, he'll probably have to work for He Yu for half his life to pay back all those Federation coins, right?”]

[Bullet Screen: “This instance isn't even over yet. If that really happens, there will be clearance fees and other instances later. I estimate Duan Yuchen will have to work hard for a lifetime to repay those IOUs.”]

[Bullet Screen: “The premise is that they get out together, but everyone knows that's impossible.”]

Nobody took the IOUs seriously, including the contestants and the audience.

They were still in the elimination stage, which was actually relatively peaceful.

Because later would come the true killing stage.

This competition was destined to have only one winner.

He Yu put the notebook away.

—It was fine. If others didn't take it seriously, he would.

If the day really came when they got out, he would take the notebook and go planet by planet across the Universe Federation, collecting debts from these experts one by one. If they couldn't pay, didn't they still have families?

No matter what, these Federation coins would be impossible to spend all the way through, right?

Thinking of that scene, He Yu clicked his tongue twice.

—So, the one who owed the most absolutely could not die.

—

The next day.

After the love trial ended, everyone except He Yu and Little Green was rearranged into new pairs.

Once they successfully teamed up, they went out to search for forging materials and returned—

“Outside really is a primeval forest. Forging materials are getting harder and harder to find. We can't dig them out at all.”

“Fuck, today we even ran into plants that attacked us. We almost got caught off guard.”

“But there's food now. We found some wild fruits and beasts. Later, once He Yu wakes up, we'll roast meat.”

Duan Yuchen had no interest in listening to their chatter. He went to find the forging materials himself and was somewhat disappointed.

“Just these? There's nothing good here. How am I supposed to practice?”

Gedai mocked,

“It's already good enough that we found these. Make do. He Yu's forging wasn't as troublesome as yours.”

Duan Yuchen snorted coldly.

“Then go ask He Yu to forge for you.”

—Let's see who could actually order He Yu around.

He Yu jumped down from the vine.

Little Green followed closely behind him step by step. However, he was clearly somewhat disappointed, even his leaves drooping.

In the morning, he had given He Yu another little flower, but He Yu had refused again.

Still no hug.

And no kiss either.

Little Green couldn't help thinking—

What if he wiped out most of the creatures on this planet, then chopped down half the Tree of Life? Would He Yu kiss him then?

It seemed... he really might?

Thinking of this, Little Green fell into deep thought.

He Yu walked toward Duan Yuchen's forging area. His voice carried a lazy hoarseness.

“Today, I'll forge something myself.”

Everyone: “!!!”

Wanrenzhan, Qiong, Siya, and the others almost rushed over together, offering up their weapons with excited faces.

“Use mine for forging!!”

It would be best if he could forge another weapon with the combat power of the Broken Moon Curved Blade.

He Yu calmly shook his head and pushed up his rimless glasses. His gaze was calm and without ripples.

“No. I'm forging something for myself.”

It was time for him to have an offensive weapon that belonged to him.
