Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 13
Chapter 13: Unexpected Incident
“Master, go to Wumu University.”
Chen Ye got into a taxi.
Wumu University.
It’s the Wuda in the Magic Capital!
“Wu” and “Mu” are commonly used characters in ancient posthumous naming.
And “Wumu” combined is generally used for the posthumous title of a famous general.
Choosing “Wumu” as the name for Wuda in the Magic Capital is both ambitious and avoids taboos.
(TL/N: This title implies that one had a balanced mix of martial bravery and strategic strength and a character marked by gentleness and respectfulness. (Wu) typically signifies qualities related to the military or martial prowess, such as bravery or strength. (Mu) usually conveys a sense of gentleness, solemnity, or harmony.)
(TL/N: (W?) stands for “Wuhan” , a major city in China. (Dà) is short for (Dàxué), which means “university.”)
A very clever school name.
The taxi driver, upon hearing that Chen Ye was going to Wuda, who had a lazy attitude, immediately became much more enthusiastic.
“Young man, are you going to study at Wuda?”
The driver started the car and asked.
Chen Ye sat in the back seat and casually fastened his seatbelt.
“Yes!”
“Oh, you’re really something! Anyone who can get into our Wuda is a pride of heaven… Young man, with your suitability, you must have an S-level hero talent, right?”
“…I have a C-level hero talent.” Chen Ye said helplessly.
“Haha, young man, you’re really good at joking.”
The driver treated Chen Ye’s words as a complete joke.
Then, as if he remembered something, the driver laughed again.
“Speaking of which, I heard that some fool actually manifested a C-level hero talent during a live broadcast some time ago. It’s really embarrassing.”
Chen Ye: “…”
“It’s unbelievable! Even someone like me, who rarely goes online, knows that C-level heroes are useless. I don’t know what that fool was thinking in his head.”
The driver stabbed at Chen Ye again.
Chen Ye: “…”
I’m thinking. Should I beat you up!
Chen Ye simply closed his eyes, pretending to rest and not wanting to pay attention to this talkative uncle.
However, the driver seemed very talkative and obviously didn’t want to let Chen Ye go so easily.
“Young man, is this your first time in the Magic Capital?”
Hearing the question, Chen Ye opened his eyes helplessly. He was a polite person.
“Not really, I’ve been here before.”
Chen Ye was referring to his past life.
He had visited the Magic Capital a few times before his transmigration.
(TL/N: Just so one knows, it’s Wuhan)
At this moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from a distance.
Boom!
Chen Ye didn’t know what exploded, but it made such a loud noise that the glass door of a shop on the roadside was shattered from a distance.
Pedestrians on the street were screaming in fear. The taxi driver was also startled, and he quickly stepped on the brakes. The taxi came to a sudden stop.
“What’s going on?” Chen Ye looked surprised.
“I don’t know!”
The driver seemed a bit frightened, but there was also a flame of curiosity in his eyes.
While stopping the car by the side of the road, he said, “Young man, sit in the car for a while. I’ll go take a look. If there’s trouble up ahead, we’ll take a detour… Don’t worry, I won’t charge you extra for the extra distance.”
Chen Ye had no interest in joining the excitement. He said, “Sure, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
The driver got out of the car and, like other onlookers who liked to watch the excitement, walked towards the direction of the explosion.
After about ten minutes.
The driver came back.
His face didn’t look good.
As soon as he sat back in the car, the driver grumbled, “These people are really damned!”
Chen Ye curiously asked, “Master, what happened up ahead?”
The driver started the car while saying, “It’s those fanatic hooligans. They planted bombs in Light Street and just detonated one. There are still more bombs, and people over there are evacuating.”
Chen Ye did see many people running in this direction. In his mind, information about fanatic hooligans surfaced.
The so-called fanatics were actually a group of mentally deranged lunatics who believed that monsters were the masters of the Blue Star. They even regarded monsters as their faith, thinking that humans should willingly accept the fate bestowed by monsters and not resist the invasion of monsters.
Although the number of these fanatics was not large, they were crazy, fanatical, and fearless.
They often launched suicide attacks all over the world, causing chaos in human society and headaches for various countries.
Chen Ye didn’t expect to encounter such a thing right after arriving in the Magic Capital.
“Young man, it’s not safe over there now. Several streets have been temporarily restricted and cannot be passed. We can only take a detour,” The driver said.
Chen Ye naturally agreed, “Okay, let’s take a detour.”
The taxi then turned around from where it was and drove towards another road.
Along the way, Chen Ye heard several explosions from a distance. He was a bit surprised.
It seemed that this incident was quite significant.
The taxi driver, who was talkative before, probably realised the seriousness of the situation. He didn’t speak on the way and his face became serious.
After a while, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Wuda.
As a well-known university for abilities, Wuda’s gate was very grand.
However, at the moment, the entrance of Wuda was guarded by many soldiers, and any idle person was prohibited from approaching.
As soon as Chen Ye approached, he was stopped by a soldier.
“Hello, this area has been temporarily controlled, and no one is allowed to approach.”
“Hello, I’m a new student reporting. Can’t I go in either?”
“Please show your admission notice.”
Chen Ye opened his backpack and took out the admission notice.
After the soldier verified it without any problems, he let Chen Ye pass.
As Chen Ye walked into the campus, he found that the atmosphere in the campus was also very heavy.
Many helicopters were parked on the playground.
“Hello, fellow student.”
While Chen Ye was watching the helicopters, a voice came from the side.
Chen Ye turned his head and saw a young man walking towards him.
“You’re a new student who just arrived, right?” The young man asked.
“Yes.” Chen Ye nodded.
“I’m the new student guide.”
The young man’s face looked a bit serious.
“There’s been an unexpected situation, and the entire city is being evacuated. Students are a priority evacuation group. You don’t need to look for your dormitory, just go straight to the boarding area!”
He speaks like a machine yet conveyed it in a professional manner.
“Can I ask what the unexpected situation is? Why does it require a city-wide evacuation?” Chen Ye was surprised.
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he asked to confirm.
The guide sighed, “There’s a group of fanatic thugs who blew up a section of the city wall, triggering a monster tide crisis.”
Even though he had some guesses, when Chen Ye heard the guide’s words, he was still greatly shocked.
The Magic Capital is one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the country, with a permanent population of over ten million.
And the monster tide crisis mentioned by the guide is like a tide of monsters launching an attack on human cities.
Obviously, the blowing up of the city wall allowed the monsters to see an opportunity.
Once the authorities fail to stop this monster tide crisis, the consequences are unimaginable!
What Chen Ye couldn’t understand was important facilities like the city wall should be given priority protection, right? How could it be blown up by fanatics?
