CH 3

The barrage instantly exploded with ridicule –

“Ha, this trash star with the ID number 2333 just doesn’t want to live!”

“He thinks this fish is a vegetarian?”

“I’m waiting for him to die. How dare he provoke the giant fish.”

“Disperse, disperse! The real excitement is happening in the adjacent main star’s first district, where Ten-thousand-killers (Wanrenzhan) is teaming up with Anni, Tang Ke, and the top players from the second and third districts to fight the giant fish!”

“Really? Let’s go, hurry up and watch!”



Some people left, but more people stayed. Their sunk cost was too high. They had waited for five hours and they were determined to see this reckless person die before they were satisfied.

So they waited for the giant fish to revolt and for this person to die.

However, they waited and waited, only to see the giant fish move its head with a confused expression, impatiently shake its tail, and once again rise to the surface of the water. It’s cold eyes flickered with doubt.

Barrage: “?”

Barrage: “… it’s not going to revolt?”

Why not only did it not revolt, but it also rose to the surface of the water?

Why did it shake its tail with confusion and swim to the spot where the piece of fish fell into the water?

This is not logical!!

The barrage was confused, and Wei Jiaguo and others were also confused.

He Yu remained calm, sitting on the head of the giant fish. This type of giant fish was not found on the Blue Star, and he had never seen it before, let alone fought against it, in his peaceful world.

Was he afraid?

No, he wasn’t. As long as he thought that everyone in the entire universe would see his current appearance in the future, he not only wasn’t afraid but was also very excited.

Unfortunately, there were no mirrors or professional styling teams available at the moment.

The giant fish swam to the spot where the fish was thrown and stopped there for a while, looking confused.

As the sky grew darker, the giant fish, with its limited intelligence, couldn’t figure out what was going on. So it decided to continue to dive and return to its deep sea.

He Yu calmly fastened his belt buckle and threw out another piece of fish the size of a thumb.

—During the competition, equipment may drop. Can he drop equipment that will make him even more perfect?

The giant fish moved its body, shaking its head and tail again. Its gills twitched slightly as it slowly swam forward and stopped at the position where the second piece of fish fell into the water.

It became even more confused.

Ten minutes later, it dived again.

He Yu sat calmly on top of its head, looking forward with a slight tilt of the head, repeating the same motion as the previous two times.

‘This angle shows my profile the best, I hope the live broadcast captures it.’

Snap!

The giant fish’s tail slammed heavily into the water, its body angrily charging forward to the spot where the third piece of fish had fallen. It shook its body and its gills opened and closed frantically.

The giant fish was angry!

The audience almost immediately reacted.

Is it finally going to rampage?!

Wei Jiaguo clenched his fists and watched the screen without blinking. Beside him, everyone else had the same posture, with the barrage screen empty as everyone stared at the live broadcast.

One second, two seconds, one minute, ten minutes…

Slap, slap!

The angry fish, with its gills wildly flapping, smacked the water heavily with its tail. It floated on the surface of the water, glaring with its eyes full of rage.

Two hours later.

It remained in this position, with its eyes open, floating on the water and fell asleep.

He Yu was satisfied and pushed his glasses, then slowly lay down on the giant fish, wrapped himself in his clothes, and pressed his face against the fish’s head, closing his eyes.

Whew–

Snore–

It was dark outside, and the person and the fish in the live broadcast room fell asleep.

Barrage: “?”

Wei Jiaguo and others: “??”

The barrage in the live broadcast room was strangely quiet for a long time, and suddenly countless barrages were brushed. The first one was a bold and enlarged red barrage;

“I don’t understand!!!”

Why?

Why did the giant fish not attack?

Why?

Why is the giant fish sleeping on the water surface?

Why can he sleep so peacefully?

They don’t understand, they really don’t.

Finally, ten minutes later, someone replied–

“I just showed the video to my biology teacher for research, and he was shocked. 2333 provoked the giant fish, but in our eyes, both 2333 and the thumb-sized piece of giant fish meat he cut off are too insignificant for the giant fish. Therefore, for the giant fish, it’s just that its head will itch when it goes into the water, but everything is normal when its head is exposed to the surface. So, it gave up going into the water, and tonight it slept on the water surface…”

All viewers: “…”

So, is this fish really that stupid?

Wei Jiaguo looked at the barrage with mixed feelings, while He Yu had fallen asleep, the barrage continued to scroll with countless messages.

“We must admit that 2333 is very clever, his method is effective and quite unexpected. However, this contestant 2333 seems to have a particular liking for sleeping.”

“I remember 2333 now, tomorrow, I want to see what this trash alien will do!”

“His combat power rating is almost zero, and in case of any unexpected event, he will undoubtedly die.”

“Moreover, he sleeps too much. There are many dangers at night in the sea. Look at other live broadcasts. No one dares to sleep, even Eugene and others who managed to get on the lifeboat take turns resting!”

“I agree, there are too many dangers in the sea. I bet he won’t survive tonight!”

“Shall we go? The group next door is still battling the fish. Do you want to go and take a look?”

“No! I want to wait and see 2333 die! And… seeing 2333 lying leisurely on the giant fish’s head, and then seeing the battle against the sea fish next door, I always feel a bit weird…”



Isn’t it weird?

The battle against the giant sea fish next door is intense, and several top players have already been killed. If you think that this giant fish is a mini-boss, then the cost is normal.

But for those who have watched the live broadcast of 2333, they just want to say to this “mini-boss”:

How the hell are you so stupid!!

Not only was the giant fish ridden on the head by a weak ‘garbage alien’, but it was also tricked into sleeping on the sea surface and serving as his bed.

Thinking that such a stupid thing actually led to the neighbouring live stream turning into such a mess…

Their moods were very complicated, and they couldn’t even look straight.

All the live streams were very lively, with fighting, fishing, survival, and death in the sea… all kinds of things. These live stream covers sometimes disappeared, sometimes fell to the edge, and sometimes rushed to the second and first circles, changing constantly.

Only in He Yu’s live stream did the audience stay put, always maintaining their position in the third circle.

It was like they had purchased their spot and were not moving.

Many people were very puzzled.

They didn’t know that those viewers were waiting for 2333, who was sleeping on the giant fish’s body, to witness the cruelty of the ‘Top Stream Competition’ sea audition on this night!

However, they waited and waited, waited until dawn, waited until the sun came out, waited until their dark circles turned dark purple, and they finally realised:

Oh, the giant fish is a “small boss”.

As long as they don’t encounter a big boss, no other marine creatures will actively attack them, and the attributes of this giant fish are well-known… it can sleep a lot.

Perhaps now they need to add two words to the giant fish’s attributes: too stupid.

The first district of the main star, also known as a corner on the battle star.

Citizen Ke Ai, with dark circles under his eyes, stared blankly at the huge live broadcast screen in front of him.

Thanks to the advanced technology of the federation, sitting here is like sitting next to the giant fish and watching He Yu… sleep in real-time.

He watched all night, and He Yu slept all night.

Finally, the person in front of him moved.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his just-woken-up eyes were a bit moist, with the sun shining directly on his face, making his eyes sparkle like stars.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

Ke Ai stared intently at him, as if trying to see through him.

He Yu straightened his hair, smoothed his clothes, and spoke in a hoarse, lazy voice, “I’m hungry.”

The audience in the live stream: “…”

Hungry?

What, do you expect someone to bring you food or something!!

The barrage opened up with ridicule;

“Yesterday you were lucky that nothing happened, but what now? No water, no food, I want to see how you can survive!”

“2333 can’t hide on top of the giant fish forever. As soon as he leaves, he’s dead.”

“Waiting for 2333 to die.”

“I won’t leave the live stream until 2333 dies!”



Now, at this moment, He Yu saw the barrage.

But he didn’t react at all. An excellent idol must have a strong mentality to calmly deal with all comments.

And he knew that if he showed that he could see the barrage here, the Federation would definitely study him.

The Federation’s technology was powerful, but not powerful enough to cross dimensions.

He calmly pushed up his glasses and said, “Big fish (Da Yu), let’s go find something to eat.”

After speaking, he fastened the buckle on his head.

With a ‘pop’,the fish tail slapped on the sea water, stirring up huge waves. The ferocious eyes opened, and the cold and indifferent gaze made people shudder.

Ke Ai stepped back instinctively.

Hei Yu threw the small piece of meat, about the size of a thumb, and said softly, “Big Fish, let’s go.”

The gill of the giant fish moved as it swam towards the falling meat.

When it reached the spot, it fully awakened, but did not stop and continued to move forward.

-It was hungry too.

It was easy for the giant fish to catch prey; it could find food, sneak up on it silently, and then suddenly open its mouth to suck in other fish.

But…

A look of confusion passed through the giant fish’s eyes.

Why, after having eaten so much, did it still feel like something was missing?

Normally, it should have been full after eating so much.

Could it be that it had grown again?

The giant fish happily flicked its tail and continued to rush towards the smaller fish ahead.

— It’s food! Growth requires food!

On top of its head, He Yu piled up the fish he had caught with his belt from the giant fish’s mouth, maintaining a very tricky posture, waiting for the next opportunity to snatch food from the giant fish’s mouth.

The audience: “…”

Wei Jiaguo and others: “…”

–Let us reiterate, how can the little boss be so stupid! So stupid!!

In the chat room of ‘Top Stream Competition’, a topic suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of everyone in the universe –

#The team of Ten-thousand-killers successfully killed the giant fish! Another giant fish is coming for revenge, and the big battle is about to start again. Go and watch it now!#

2L: Oh my god, Wanrenzhan is so powerful!

3L: They are truly the champions of the last season of ‘Top Stream Competition’. Wanrenzhan is amazing. They can kill one when one comes, and kill two when two come, haha!

4L: Let’s go watch it.

5L: Wanrenzhan, my idol!!

As a result, countless people rushed into the live stream of Ten-thousand-killers, or entered the live streams of several other experts, to watch them fight against the second giant fish.

This giant fish was even more ferocious, but Ten-thousand-killers and his team were equally fierce, wielding the equipment dropped by the first giant fish, and the battle was evenly matched, making it difficult to distinguish between the two sides.

Bang!

Clang, clang!

The sound of battle was enough to make one’s blood boil, and the bloody and brutal scenes made the audience extremely excited.

Ten-thousand-killers gripped his axe tightly and swung it heavily towards the giant fish.

The giant fish threw him away, and Anni caught him.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the scar on his face pulsing, Wan Renzhan’s voice was ferocious: “Is that all you’ve got? Watch how I’ll deal with you!”

After speaking, he pounced again, along with Anni and several other top players.

They fought together, not afraid even if they were covered in wounds.

The barrage exploded —

“Ah ah ah, so cool! Wan Renzhan and Anni are forever gods!”

“I want to vote, quickly, I want to vote for them!”

“This is what a real master looks like, they’re so amazing!”

“Is there any other live stream room that dares to compare with our Lord of Ten Thousand Slashes?! Anyone?!”



In the midst of such excited and enthusiastic bullet comments, suddenly there appear several extremely discordant comments:

“Um, seeing these experts trying so hard to survive, I suddenly feel…it’s not worth it.”

“Likewise, someone is probably still sunbathing now, right?”

“No, 2333 is not sunbathing anymore, he is sun-drying small fish/smiling.”

“……”

The appearance of such discordant content immediately angered the fans of people like Wan Ren Zhan, who fiercely cursed and mocked them.

Of course, some people were also puzzled and curious.

So they followed the key information “2333” and stumbled into another live stream.

Author’s Note: He Yu: Life in the audition is all about sunbathing and drying fish.

Other contestants: ???

Audience: ???

Divinelyme: I just found out that “2333” is an internet slang used in Chinese to represent laughter, similar to “lol” or “haha” in English.
