Chapter 142
As soon as Yu Zhi spoke, the barrage in Fu Suxi’s livestream refreshed wildly.
[User “Big Yellow Girl” urges you to act quickly and show him something yellow, tipping 100 universal coins.]
[User “Scarecrow’s Straw” frantically urges you to kill him immediately and tips 100 universal coins.]
[User “Sexy Big Mother Monkey” hopes you can sleep with him into submission and tips 100 universal coins.]
[User “Lord of the Fire God” praises the impressive size of your glow, comforts you not to feel inferior, and tips 200 universal coins.]
[User “Slap the Mistress” hopes you satisfy his request and tips 150 universal coins.]
The dense barrage—ninety-nine percent of it—was discussing matters below the waist.
Fu Suxi slowly uttered two words: “System.”
Before his sentence even finished, the system hurriedly shut down his livestream.
At first, Yu Zhi didn’t understand why Fu Suxi called the system. But when he saw the viewer count in his own livestream skyrocket several times over, he immediately realized—Fu Suxi’s stream had been closed.
At this moment, Yu Zhi actually felt that Pandora refusing to close his own livestream wasn’t entirely a bad thing. If his stream could be closed, given Fu Suxi’s shamelessness, he might have already dropped his pants for a clear look—and then stripped Yu Zhi’s as well.
Yu Zhi blinked at Fu Suxi and continued provoking him with a smile. “Go on. Take it off.”
“My esteemed viewers are waiting.”
Hearing this, Fu Suxi let out a low laugh. He was smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes—there was only burning anger there.
“Yu Zhi’s livestream really can’t be closed?”
Each word was spoken slowly, every syllable frosted over with threat.
The next second, the system’s familiar mechanical childlike voice sounded in the air: “Please wait, attempting repair…”
Yu Zhi: “?”
Before he could react, two glaring lines of text popped up on his translucent panel.
[Repairing…]
[Closing your livestream…]
The “Live” indicator at the lower right corner switched to “Offline.”
Yu Zhi: “???”
You damned Pandora!
You’re deliberately trying to let Fu Suxi mess with me, aren’t you?!
Fu Suxi took in his changing expression with a cold smile and answered his earlier question.
“Fine.”
“Take it off.”
As he spoke, he grabbed Yu Zhi’s waistband and, just like before, yanked hard, pulling him closer.
Yu Zhi was wearing tactical pants today, with an elastic drawstring buckle at the waist. He clearly felt Fu Suxi’s hand pressing against the buckle, ready to undo it at any moment.
His eyelid twitched. He instinctively grabbed Fu Suxi’s wrist. “Endurance Bro, wrong pants.”
The curve of Fu Suxi’s lips deepened. His eyes were devoid of warmth. “Not wrong.”
“Take it off and look at yourself. Get a good look.”
The smile vanished from Yu Zhi’s face as he understood the implication.
—Take it off and look at yourself. Would you still be dissatisfied with mine?
Heh.
Yu Zhi glanced at the very present, extremely conspicuous large glow below. So what if you’re hanging a thermos?
Once I use Speak and It Happens, I can hang a thermos kettle.
With that thought, he let go of Fu Suxi’s hand and leaned back against the wall, letting him undo the buckle.
“Go ahead.”
With a fake smile, he said, “I’d like a clear look.”
“Let you see clearly.”
What it means to have it wrapped around your waist.
Seeing that he stopped resisting, Fu Suxi paused briefly and instantly guessed what he was planning.
At that moment, a faint sound suddenly came from outside the door.
The room door was abruptly pushed open, and three heads poked in at once.
From Lu Liming, Zuo Feiyang, and Doctor Qi’s perspective, Yu Zhi was lounging against the wall, while Fu Suxi had his head lowered, impatiently undoing Yu Zhi’s pants. Not only that—there was a suspicious glowing mass under Fu Suxi’s crotch.
Yu Zhi glanced at the three stunned faces at the doorway, slowly curled his lips, and said to Fu Suxi, “Don’t talk. Keep eating.”
Fu Suxi: “?”
“Bang—!”
With a loud crash, the door was slammed shut again. Panicked footsteps sounded outside.
Yu Zhi lifted his eyelids. Seeing Fu Suxi didn’t understand what he meant, he raised his left hand, formed a circle with his thumb and index finger, and made a suggestive sliding motion near his lips.
Keep. Eating.
Fu Suxi laughed in extreme anger. The hand gripping Yu Zhi’s waistband released, clenched into a fist, and shot straight toward Yu Zhi’s face.
Just before the punch landed, Yu Zhi used One Kick to dodge.
But Fu Suxi moved extremely fast, as if he knew where Yu Zhi would dodge. The moment Yu Zhi’s foot touched the ground, the familiar black long blade slashed down from above.
[Step on the tile!]
“Crack—”
He missed the person, but the only bed in the room was chopped into pieces.
[Step on Fu Suxi’s shoulder!]
Yu Zhi had expected that, like before, Fu Suxi would dodge the moment his toe brushed his clothes.
But this time, Fu Suxi didn’t dodge. He took the kick squarely.
Yu Zhi hesitated for half a beat before using One Kick again to flash into the corner of the room.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Suxi.
The man stood atop shattered wooden boards, long blade in hand. A clear footprint marked his black coat.
He didn’t brush it off. Didn’t remove the coat. He simply wore it, lifted his eyelids, and stared straight at Yu Zhi.
They locked eyes. The atmosphere froze.
Soon, Yu Zhi blinked and broke the silence. “I’m bare-handed, and you’re using a blade that big. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Fu Suxi’s gaze moved downward deliberately, pausing at Yu Zhi’s crotch, and he mocked, “Didn’t you tell me to keep eating?”
“I only eat dick, not bitterness.”
Yu Zhi: “……”
You really dare to say that.
“Don’t be picky. When you’re young, you should eat more bitterness so you’ll be used to it when you’re old.”
Fu Suxi: “……”
Yu Zhi didn’t get to say a second sentence before the blade came down again.
He dodged instantly. With a boom, the wardrobe behind him was split into several chunks.
Though Yu Zhi avoided the blade, he couldn’t avoid the flying wood splinters. His cheek and neck stung slightly.
He touched his face. His palm came away warm and red.
Cursing inwardly, he said, [Give me one minute of the hardest Hard on Demand!]
Then he used One Kick to flash behind Fu Suxi. With a powerful kick, he struck Fu Suxi’s tiger’s mouth, forcing him to release the blade.
Immediately, he used One Kick again to step onto Fu Suxi’s shoulder—this time not kicking off, but straddling his shoulders, fist raised, smashing toward his face.
When Fu Suxi turned his head to dodge, Yu Zhi’s left fist followed.
Although the minute expired and Hard on Demand deactivated, Yu Zhi put his full strength into that punch.
The wind howled as his fist slammed into Fu Suxi’s left cheek with a solid impact.
Fu Suxi frowned in pain, bent down to evade the next strike, and at the same time grabbed Yu Zhi’s leg, yanking him down and smashing him to the floor.
Yu Zhi’s pupils shrank. [Another five minutes of the hardest Hard on Demand!]
The moment his body hit the ground, the floor caved in, leaving a massive hole.
The two began fighting bare-handed.
Tables and chairs shattered. The TV broke into pieces. Walls and floor were dented with crater after crater.
The escalating noise gradually reached the corridor.
“…Sounds like something happened,” Doctor Qi hesitated.
He turned to the other two and realized Zuo Feiyang and Lu Liming still hadn’t snapped out of it.
Zuo Feiyang stood blankly against the wall, mind full of one thought—It really did turn into a glowing one!
Lu Liming leaned against the wall in a daze, questions flooding his mind. What did he just hear? What did he see? Was Fu Suxi trying to… give Brother Yu oral? Pretending to be lovers but seizing the chance to seduce him with his mouth?!
Doctor Qi pressed his palm to the wall, feeling the faint vibrations. “Xiao Ming, Lao Zuo, Brother Yu really might be in trouble.”
Hearing “Brother Yu,” Lu Liming slowly came back to his senses. “Master Qi, you said that just now too.”
“And when we went in, we saw—”
Before he could finish, the red wooden door at the end of the corridor shook violently. With a heavy crash, it collapsed.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the chaotic wreckage inside.
The once tidy room was unrecognizable. Furniture and appliances lay shattered. Stuffing from quilts and mattresses floated like snow. Holes dented the walls; some in the floor punched straight through to the level below.
Yu Zhi sat atop a pile of wooden debris. His cheek, neck, and hands bore light abrasions. His clothes were torn, stained faintly with blood.
“Brother Yu!”
“What happened?!”
“What’s going on?!”
Yu Zhi turned his head, intending to see what Fu Suxi would say—but there was no sign of him.
Invisible again?
Just as the thought formed, broken wood beneath his feet sank and snapped, as if stepped on by someone unseen.
“Crack—”
“Crack—”
From the room to the corridor, planks broke one by one.
Yu Zhi sneered inwardly. He knew Fu Suxi was doing it on purpose—letting him clearly see how he left.
Trying to make him clean up this mess alone?
He dusted himself off and stood, looking at the three of them talking over one another.
“What happened?”
“Weren’t you two just fine?”
“Where’s Minister Yu? Why did he suddenly disappear again?”
Yu Zhi raised a hand to cut them off. “Nothing.”
“Domestic violence.”
“……”
Silence fell.
Doctor Qi and Zuo Feiyang both had the same question—who abused whom?
Lu Liming, meanwhile, muttered internally—good, that flirtatious Fu Suxi deserved it! Turning it fluorescent to seduce people!
Not seeing Fu Suxi anywhere, Doctor Qi hesitated. “Brother Yu, did Minister Yu leave again?”
“Probably.”
Lu Liming snorted. “Ran fast.”
Doctor Qi added dryly, “Minister Yu probably went to investigate Meteorite.”
Zuo Feiyang nodded. “The sooner he investigates, the sooner Brother Yu’s name will be cleared.”
Yu Zhi glanced at them thoughtfully. If they said that, it must be because Fu Suxi himself told them he was investigating Meteorite.
Which meant Fu Suxi had told his livestream viewers his true purpose was investigating Meteorite.
Yu Zhi lowered his lashes in thought.
“Lao Zuo, fix the holes first,” Doctor Qi said. “Xiao Ming and I will treat Brother Yu.”
“No need,” Yu Zhi shook his head. “Just surface wounds. Don’t waste ability.”
Doctor Qi nodded. Seeing there wasn’t even a chair left intact, he said, “Then Xiao Ming and I will arrange new furniture.”
“And reinstall the door,” Lu Liming added.
“Can’t we just switch rooms?” Yu Zhi asked.
Doctor Qi looked troubled. “Without Minister Yu’s approval, we don’t dare decide.”
Yu Zhi gave an “oh” and said nothing more.
As soon as they left, two lines popped up on his system panel.
[Repair failed…]
[Livestream reopening…]
Yu Zhi let out a cold laugh. So the moment Fu Suxi leaves, the stream reopens?
[Livestream H310000: Live]
[Viewers Online: 9305]
The barrage flooded in.
Yu Zhi watched casually.
Suddenly H0516 asked suspiciously, [Why are you so well-behaved?]
Pandora had controlled his stream’s on-off switch. Given Yu Zhi’s vengeful personality, why was he just quietly reading comments?
Yu Zhi lowered his lashes, hiding his emotions. [Don’t bother me. I’m thinking how to find the mole.]
H0516 relaxed. Compared to the distant Pandora, the gambling pool he’d invested everything in mattered more.
[Thought of anything?]
Yu Zhi glanced at a comment.
[User “Reborn in Another Universe’s Ultimate Love” asks whether you were satisfied with his glowing one.]
His brow twitched. He told H0516, [I’ve decided to stall Fu Suxi first.]
Then he used Speak and It Happens again: “Yu Yi has two glowing eggs today.”
[Item “Speak and It Happens” failed.]
Yu Zhi froze.
Behind him, something heavy crashed.
He turned to see Zuo Feiyang half-squatting on the ground. The cement floor he’d just repaired had collapsed again, crumbling down to the level below.
Catching Yu Zhi’s gaze, Zuo Feiyang said vaguely, “Men like glowing things. Glowing watches, glowing, um…”
Unable to think of another example, he looked away. “Brother Yu, it’s not your fault.”
Yu Zhi: “I know. It’s Yu Yi’s fault.”
Zuo Feiyang nodded slowly. “Yeah… why couldn’t he just… naturally glow?”
Yu Zhi: “…………”
…………
On the first floor lobby of the Operations Department—
The elevator doors opened. The empty elevator carried a gust of cold air tinged with smoke.
Two ability users waiting outside hesitated and exchanged looks before stepping in.
“Do you smell smoke?”
“Yeah. Smells like Huazi.”
“I think I also smell blood…”
Under the blazing sun, Fu Suxi walked, cigarette between his fingers, glancing at the barrage.
He exhaled smoke, stepped into the shade of a tree, and looked down.
Completely intact.
No damn glowing eggs.
Fu Suxi lifted his eyes and looked toward a window of the Operations Department building, confirming one thing:
Yu Zhi’s newly awakened ability was related to the target’s own power.
After leaving the room, he had used universal coins to upgrade his physique—because Yu Zhi’s ability had failed on him this time.
Biting the cigarette, Fu Suxi thoughtfully reviewed Yu Zhi’s anomalies.
Only going in, never out.
Constantly awakening new abilities.
Using abilities didn’t consume mental value or lifespan. Instead, his presence slowly increased others’ mental value.
And Yu Zhi didn’t fully understand his own body.
“Yu Zhi…”
While invisible, viewers couldn’t see him, only hear his voice.
The barrage refreshed rapidly.
Fu Suxi glanced at it and stepped out of the shade. “I’m thinking about Yu Zhi.”
“He knows what I want to do.”
As his invisibility faded, viewers saw his current state clearly—
A bruise spreading over his left cheekbone. A split lip with blood. Most severe, the back of his right hand bore a torn, bleeding wound.
The barrage exploded again.
Most comments either asked how he’d deal with Yu Zhi or urged him to investigate Meteorite.
Fu Suxi half-lidded his long, dark eyes and said calmly:
“After using the mole to finish investigating Meteorite, I’ll publicly reveal Yu Zhi’s true identity—tell everyone he’s one of Meteorite’s people. Then push everything that happened in the safe zone onto Meteorite.”
“It restores the bureau’s reputation and strikes at both Yu Zhi and Meteorite.”
“As for me—I was just deceived by Yu Zhi. A victim blinded by love.”
The barrage immediately pointed out—
His plan sounded very familiar.
Very similar to Yu Zhi’s.
