Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Just Like to Take the Back Door
For six consecutive days, Chen Ye stayed at home, focusing on his training.
After each workout, he could clearly feel himself getting stronger. His attributes consistently increased by 15 points every day—5 points each for constitution, strength, and agility.
Six days passed, and significant changes occurred in his attribute panel:
– Name: Chen Ye
– Constitution: 37
– Spirit: 11
– Strength: 39
– Agility: 39
Talent: Saitama Physique.
The three attributes—constitution, strength, and agility—were approaching nearly four times that of an average person. However, the spirit attribute showed no increase, causing Chen Ye to suspect that he received a neutered version of the Saitama Physique.
With the continuous increase in attributes, Chen Ye’s physical fitness also improved rapidly. The most noticeable change was that he no longer felt as tired when performing the exercises from the Saitama Training Method. What used to take an entire day to complete could now be done in just a few hours.
In terms of physical fitness, he had surpassed professional athletes in just six days.
This was the remarkable aspect of the Saitama Physique. Chen Ye was naturally satisfied with it, except for one regret—his hair.
In recent days, he noticed hair falling out every morning, and at this rate, he might become bald in less than three years.
Today marked the seventh day since Chen Ye obtained the Saitama Physique, and it was also the seventh day of him becoming the subject of a big joke.
Most netizens were forgetful, and as six days passed, the online mockery directed at him had significantly reduced. Only a few netizens occasionally mentioned him. Meanwhile, a girl named “Tang Zichen” continued to maintain high popularity, trending on news searches for several days.
Rumours had it that Tang Zichen had been admitted through a special enrollment to the Magic Capital Martial University, one of the best supernatural ability universities in the country.
Based on comments from netizens, there was great anticipation for her future performance. Even Ms. Qin, the national champion, expressed optimism about Tang Zichen’s future in an interview.
When Chen Ye saw this news, he couldn’t help feeling a bit strange. He remembered his father mentioning that he wanted to exchange the favour of the older generation for Tang Zichen to be his temporary bodyguard and protect him for a while.
Now that she had gained such popularity and caught the attention of big shots, Chen Ye doubted if his dad could still handle it.
At noon, Chen Ye was having lunch with his mother, Yang Rongzhi.
He was the one eating, while his mother watched on the side. As his strength increased daily, Chen Ye’s appetite had grown significantly. Most of the dishes on the table ended up in his stomach.
“Son,” Yang Rongzhi suddenly spoke, “after lunch, do you want to go out for some fresh air? How about going to the company with mom in the afternoon?”
Under Yang Rongzhi’s name, there was a relatively large company valued at several billion. In a way, Chen Ye was also considered a second-generation wealthy individual.
“I have to continue training in the afternoon, so I don’t want to go,” Chen Ye refused.
He had woken up late today and needed to complete the Saitama Training Method to get stronger in the afternoon. There was no time to go out and play.
“You can’t keep staying at home like this,” Yang Rongzhi said, frowning. Her eyes were full of concern for her son.
“Exercising every day isn’t good for your health. You need to relax occasionally. There are many young people in my company; you can go and have some fun with them.”
She almost explicitly mentioned that there were many girls in her company. In Yang Rongzhi’s imagination, Chen Ye’s intense workouts were undoubtedly a result of some emotional distress. She was afraid that if he continued like this, he would harm his body.
Just as Chen Ye was about to respond to his mother, Yang Rongzhi’s phone rang.
After answering a few words, she happily hung up.
“Chen Ye, wait a moment after you finish eating. Your dad is about to come back, and he has a surprise for you.”
Chen Ye felt a little moved. If he guessed correctly, the surprise his mom mentioned was probably related to his university admission.
After a while, Chen’s father arrived, holding an admission letter from a certain university.
Seeing Chen Ye, his father’s expression wasn’t very good. He handed the admission letter to Chen Ye and said in a harsh tone, “Take it. In a couple of days, go to the school and register. A small setback like this, and you look half-dead. You really…”
He couldn’t continue with the harsh words because Yang Rongzhi was glaring at him fiercely.
Chen Ye suddenly felt a bit amused. This admission letter was undoubtedly hard-won. His dad must have sacrificed some face and used connections to secure it.
The middle-aged man in front of him clearly loved his son very much, but he always maintained a stern fatherly appearance.
Exactly like his father on Earth.
“Thanks, Dad!”
Chen Ye said with a smile, sincerely. While he was quite indifferent about going to college, since his dad went through all the trouble, he didn’t want to disappoint his expectations.
As Chen Ye took the admission letter, he immediately noticed that it was extraordinary. The cover of the admission letter was actually adorned with a golden border. Upon opening it and seeing the university’s name, he couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.
Magic Capital Martial University!
Even though Chen Ye was a transmigrator, he knew that this supernatural ability university was one of the best in the country, on par with a certain supernatural ability university in the capital.
Most importantly, Magic Capital Martial University was the same school as the recently popular “Tang Zichen.”
It seemed that his dad had indeed arranged everything for him.
Chen Ye knew that his dad must have paid a considerable price to achieve this. Looking at the slightly tired face of his father, he felt a bit complex.
“Dad, you must have paid quite a price for this admission letter,” Chen Ye said.
“As long as you fight a bit more and cause me less trouble,” Chen’s father softened his tone, but still maintained a stern look.
“When you go to school, you must not be too conspicuous, and definitely don’t embarrass us. I’ve assured President Lu several times. If you cause any trouble or if news of your admission to Magic Capital Martial University is spread online, affecting the school’s reputation, you’ll be expelled.”
Chen Ye understood. He had just become a national laughingstock. The situation was quite special, and President Lu had given him face by accepting him under great pressure.
If news of his admission spread online, people would undoubtedly think it was through connections, questioning the fairness of Magic Capital Martial University.
Even though it was true that he got in through connections…
