CH 4

Unlike the brutal scene in the previous livestream, this livestream is simply peaceful and idyllic!

In the distance, you can only see a giant fish swimming forward.

Oh, wait, let’s zoom in. There’s He Yu, with his thin and weak body, sitting on top of the fish’s head with his knees bent. His glasses rest on his nose, and the rose gold frame reflects a dazzling light in the sunshine.

He sits there calmly, soaking up the sun, holding a leash in one hand and flipping over… a fish jerky that’s drying on the giant fish’s head.

When the giant fish comes to a stop, he tosses a small fish out.

Giant Fish: …

Giant Fish: Growth requires food, even small fish cannot be wasted.

So, it swims forward and eats the small fish.

The host of the livestream uses dried fish to lure the giant fish forward. When they encounter a school of fish, the giant fish inhales them in a violent storm(vortex), while he performs expert manoeuvres, using a belt to hook a fish and bringing it to the top of the giant fish’s head.

His body twists into a posture that makes people widen their eyes, and he expertly hooks the fish without attracting the giant fish’s attention.

Under the bright sunlight, the top of the giant fish’s head is covered with small dried fish strung together with wool.

Oh, the wool is taken from his sweater. The long-sleeved sweater is now a short-sleeved one, but it still looks good, and it doesn’t affect his stunning appearance at all.

He lazily basks in the sun, hooking the fish on one hand and flipping the dried fish on the other.

Hmm, how peaceful everything is.

The giant fish boat is also very obedient.

The viewers who just entered this live broadcast room: “???”

They look at this live broadcast room and then switch to the bloody live broadcast room next door, where a man battles a giant fish covered in wounds.

The viewers: “….” This operation is fucking outrageous! !

After watching the adjacent live stream, they realised how fierce the giant fish was. Turning around to the live stream of the contestant 2333, they saw the stupidity of the fierce giant fish. 

He commanded with such ease that it made the fierceness of the adjacent stream seem unworthy. 

People who just entered the live stream immediately typed, “Who is this person? I want all his information within three minutes!”

“How does he do it? How can he control the giant fish so easily?”

“Does he have some special ability?!”

“Alright, trash star He Yu, I remember you.”

As time goes by, some inappropriate comments gradually appeared in the livestream rooms of people like Ten-thousand-killers:

“Wanrenzhan is injured, and Anni has used up the only healing potion. But, it seems like dealing with the giant fish doesn’t require that much difficulty…”

“That confusing No.2333 live stream next door made me doubt my life!”

“This fish is so stupid!! It’s a waste to fight it!”

These comments attracted more attention, and they followed the key information into He Yu’s live stream. Some were neutral, but many were fans of Ten-thousand-killers and others.

The fans immediately expressed their anger and ridicule –

“Just being clever, can’t help you hold on for long.”

“This is the brutal ‘Top Stream Competition’. Only those with combat power and strength can make it to the end. Momentary cleverness is useless.”

“And, what is the most important thing in the preliminaries? It’s going ashore and getting equipment! Killing the giant fish can drop equipment!”

“I don’t think this person can last long. He is just a worthless thing from the garbage planet. He doesn’t even have a citizenship. How can he compare with the players from our Federation’s main star?”

“Wait to be killed. The next door live streaming room Keli Hai specialises in hunting down players from garbage planets. Hahaha, he just killed a blue star player. You guys should go and see the ridiculous look of the opponent begging for mercy!”

Bang! 

Ye Kaijun was so angry that he slammed his cup on the table and cursed, “What’s so great about being a Federal citizen? We’re all human beings. Why do they think they’re superior?”

Wei Jiaguo also clenched his fists in anger.

Next to him, Zheng Ke looked through the news on the Blue Star website with a dark expression. The hot search was dominated by angry reactions to the cruel killing of the Blue Star people, and people were angry at the mockery of He Yu and the Blue Star behind him by the federal audience – even if they didn’t have much faith in He Yu themselves.

After a while, Wei Jiaguo released his hands and took a deep breath. “There is indeed a big gap between Blue Star and other planets now, but their human history is longer than ours by tens of thousands of years, and their civilization began earlier than ours. We lose in time, but given time, we are not inferior to other star people.”

He paused and added, “It’s just that these contestants are being treated unfairly. They are the first group of Blue Star people to come into contact with extraterrestrial life, and they are destined to face more danger and ridicule… But this kind of life won’t last long. I believe in our Blue Star, and I believe in our Blue Star contestants.”

His old face was filled with perseverance and stubbornness.

Ye Kaijun said, “Yes! And even though they ridicule He Yu, they’re all paying attention to him. He Yu’s viewing rate has always been at the third tier, and now it even has the potential to move up to the second tier!”

This is an achievement that no one else from other planets has!

However…

The leaders of Blue Star were feeling very conflicted.

They never would have thought that during the early stages of the selection process, the best performer from Blue Star would be He Yu, whom they had always looked down on and brought along just to fill up the numbers because of his appearance.

Zheng Ke said, “He Yu has already attracted some attention for Blue Star. They may be insulting the trash planets, but they must have also seen the words ‘Blue Star’! We also have Bo Jingshan, Zhao Pingqi, Gao Jianming, and others who are performing well and have some degree of attention.”

Thinking this way, they felt much better.

It’s just a pity for He Yu…

He now has a very good level of attention, but in the end, this is a competition based on strength.

Compared to others, He Yu is still too weak.

Of course, their judgement is not based solely on imagination. The competition has a character panel, including the participant’s name, gender, age, weight, and height, as well as their equipment and abilities, and combat power rating..

Based on past experience, those with a combat power rating of 100 or more have a chance to advance to the finals.

Those with a rating of 30 or below, unless carried by an expert, are unlikely to pass the preliminaries.

As for He Yu, his equipment is just a fancy but useless pair of glasses and clothes, so his combat power score reflects his most basic strength – 2 points.

It’s too embarrassing.

Zheng Ke shook his head.

He couldn’t see the live barrage anymore.

However, it doesn’t matter. As long as He Yu knows that the camera is recording him from all angles and that someone is constantly watching him, he feels good.

Everyone is here to watch him and look at him.

The current audience is still too small, and his popularity is still too low.

Thinking of this, He Yu lowers his eyes slightly, and his eyes become unfathomable.

When he raises his head again, he wears a calm smile on his face and pushes his glasses up with his middle finger. He scans the area covered with countless fish and looks ahead with narrowed eyes towards the direction of the rising sun.

In this vast sea, only the sun can guide the way.

The giant fish keeps moving forward. During the day, it likes to stay on the surface of the sea. Whenever it wants to stop and bask in the sun or rest, its back would start to itch or food would appear ahead, which forces it to continue moving forward.

This requires a lot of energy, and the fish needs to eat to sustain itself, so it continues to move forward and catch food. It doesn’t realise that more and more dried fish is piling up on its head.

Barrage: “…I give up, this fish is unbelievably stupid!!”

It’s unclear how long it has been, but the sun is now directly overhead, and there is some movement on the calm sea.

Boom –

Bang Bang!!

Clang clang clang!!

He Yu looked up. His exquisite and beautiful face was transparently white under the sunlight, as if he didn’t even have pores or hair follicles, and his skin was smooth as jade.

He squinted his eyes, the distance was a bit too far, he could only vaguely hear the commotion, unable to see it clearly.

Suddenly, the barrage appeared in front of him-

“….why do I feel like I’ve heard this noise before?”

“I feel the same, it seems like I’ve heard it somewhere.”

“!!! This is where they battled the giant fish in the Ten-thousand-killers’ livestream room!!”

“Damn, 2333, how did you end up here with the giant fish?! We’re doomed!”

“Don’t always call him by the number 2333, he has a name, which is He Yu.”

He Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.

Then, he curled up the corners of his mouth and said in a hoarse and pleasant voice, “Oh? There’s some movement, let’s go and take a look.”

【”Don’t go there! It’s where the federal experts and the giant fish are fighting. You’re just a small fry, why are you trying to join in the fun?”】

Countless people roared in the barrage.

Whether it’s the federal masters or that giant fish, dealing with He Yu would be too easy.

This is a competition with only one winner, and the contestants are in a kill-or-be-killed relationship, especially Ten-thousand-killers who is the champion of the previous session, having killed countless people and is extremely ruthless.

The Federal and Blue Star audiences are both extremely anxious.

Federal audience: “What a death seeking fool.”

Blue Star audience: “Ah ah ah, quickly get off the giant fish’s head and escape!”

There were also viewers who came from the live broadcast rooms of Ten-thousand-killers and others, immediately switching to Ten-thousand-killers’ live broadcast room.

The situation here is not bad.

The giant fish is formidable, but Ten-thousand-killers and his team are elite players of the Federation. Even though their weapons and resources are insufficient, it is not too difficult to deal with the “mini-bosses” in the qualifying stage.

Especially since they have equipment that dropped from a giant fish they defeated.

The giant fish is already heavily injured, and its blood has stained the sea red beneath their feet. Ten-thousand-killers, Anni, Tang Ke, and others are also stained with blood, both their own and that of the giant fish.

Ten-thousand-killers took a deep breath and tightened his grip on his axe. “We’re only one strike away. Let’s all go together!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he and everyone else moved.

The giant fish seemed to know that these people were after its life. Its crimson eyes flashed with something, and it suddenly opened its mouth wide,

Roar!

A fish actually let out a roar, and it was such a shrill roar.

The faces of Wan Ren Zhan and the others changed!

The giant fish entered a frenzied state. If the giant fish had a health bar, it would have suddenly increased when it let out that roar.

It was increasing its combat power in a suicidal manner!

This vengeful giant fish wants to die with them.

“Retreat!” Ten-thousand-killers suddenly shouted.

Tang Ke gritted his teeth. “Quick, retreat! Its berserk state won’t last long!”

The group of people who had just been prepared to rush forward turned around and immediately began to retreat.

The giant fish, completely ignoring its injuries and pain, pounced over with its bloodied mouth wide open, extremely ferocious and angry, making the atmosphere of the entire live stream tense.

At this moment, some viewers suddenly flooded in and started commenting in the chat:

“Ah ah ah, another giant fish is coming! He Yu is bringing it over!”

“Hurry and run, He Yu is bringing the fish, and that giant fish is not weaker than this one!”

“Oh my god, I can’t even imagine what will happen next.”

At this moment, the live stream of Ten-thousand-killers and his team is the most-watched live stream in the entire ‘Top Stream Competition’ show. After seeing these comments, they also looked to the distance of the sea and saw a shadow approaching.

Suddenly, everyone’s breath caught in their throat.

Some people immediately switched to No.2333 He Yu’s livestream and began cursing:

“Fool! Are you looking for death? Don’t harm others and yourself!”

“Get out of here, you trashy contestant! If you end up killing Wanrenzhan and his team, I’ll curse you to death.”

“Who is this idiot from a trash star? His combat power rating is only 2, he dares to approach? And he’s been using dried fish to lure the giant fish closer to the battlefield here?!”

As the barrage of insults flooded in, He Yu’s lips curled slightly and his eyes calmly gazed towards the bloody center ahead. He calmly tossed a fish in that direction.

At this moment, the giant fish caught the scent of blood and no longer needs his enticement, it rushes over.

Author’s note: He Yu: I make a lot of outrageous moves, but stay calm.
