Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Breaking Through the Defense of a Genius
Old Liu inquired about Tang Zichen. It was entirely out of concern.
In his eyes, Tang Zichen was an excellent seedling, a perfect jade. Of course, he didn’t want her to fail in the secret realm due to choosing the wrong teammate. Not to mention, the principal had repeatedly instructed him to take good care of Tang Zichen…
In the classroom, it suddenly became quiet.
Almost everyone was looking at Tang Zichen, waiting for her answer.
The students also wanted to know who the person was who was so lucky to team up with Tang Zichen.
“Sorry, teacher,” Tang Zichen calmly said, “I haven’t obtained the other person’s consent yet, so it’s not convenient to say now.”
Old Liu was somewhat surprised. The students were even more astonished.
Is Tang Zichen acting on her own again? This is really annoying!
Who could it be? The suspense is killing us!
Old Liu, realising the situation, decided to change his approach and asked, “Is it Zhao Zheng, Cao Yu, Fang Zhihua, Ren Qianqian… one of them?”
These few people were all S-level talents, and among the S-level talents, they were at the forefront. He didn’t mention Yan Kai because Yan Kai had just been rejected.
In Liu’s view, among the students in the class, these were the only ones qualified to team up with Tang Zichen without dragging her down.
As a teacher, saying only the names of these people in front of the students was obviously unfriendly, discouraging their confidence. Liu was aware of this, but for Tang Zichen’s future, he didn’t care.
The ones named.
They all showed expressions of anticipation.
Tang Zichen truthfully replied, “None of them.”
Old Liu’s expression changed, and just as he was about to say something, Tang Zichen interrupted, “Teacher, you don’t need to say anything. I have an idea in my heart.”
Hearing this, Old Liu couldn’t express all the good advice he had.
After a month of contact, he had some understanding of the students’ personalities. Tang Zichen was a child with strong opinions and a firm character. Once Tang Zichen decided something, it was hard for others to persuade her.
Thinking about it, Old Liu suddenly said to the students, “I remember when I was in school, there were a total of 47 new students in our class, but in the end, only 31 survived from the 1st secret realm!
This was just the first secret realm. When I graduated, among the classmates who were in the same year as me, only six survived, including myself…”
Hearing about this death rate, the students were a bit shocked.
“In short, the secret realm is not child’s play. Choosing teammates must be careful and rational! Never make wrong judgments because of some personal feelings!”
Leaving behind these words with a hidden meaning, Old Liu left.
He had said everything that needed to be said.
Staying here would make the students feel uncomfortable, and they wouldn’t be able to find teammates.
When Old Liu left, the classroom immediately became lively.
The students were all looking for teammates.
Except for Chen Ye, Qian Fugui, and Tang Zichen…
The first two being ignored was understandable, given that the teacher had just said to be careful and not find a dragging teammate.
As for Tang Zichen, no one dared to approach her.
…
Seeing that his classmates were all chatting eagerly, Qian Fugui felt very envious.
For the first time, he regretted choosing the S7 talent, which was a big pit.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Chen Ye, who was also being ignored. He hesitated several times, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, standing up and leaving the classroom.
Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He noticed the expression on Qian Fugui’s face just now.
It was undoubtedly the look of someone planning to team up with him. If Qian Fugui had really spoken, Chen Ye wouldn’t have been able to refuse. After all, they were classmates.
Luckily, Qian Fugui didn’t say anything.
After that, Chen Ye also stood up and left the classroom.
He wasn’t very interested in forming a team.
With his current strength, even without a weapon, he could still crush the zombies in the first secret realm.
As for the issue of sleeping and resting. As long as he sprinkled some glutinous rice around before going to sleep, it should be able to prevent zombies from approaching.
…
Back in the dormitory, Qian Fugui wasn’t there; he didn’t know where he had gone.
Chen Ye stood in front of the mirror. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and his muscles started to move.
Crack, crack…
The sound of bones rubbing together rang out. Chen Ye’s body, at a visible speed, quickly became shorter.
In just a few breaths, his height went from 1.85 metres to just over 1.6 metres. A reduction of a full 20 centimetres.
In addition to the shortened height, his facial features also underwent some changes…
Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction.
Just now, he had used the “Light Body Technique” After a month of practice, he finally reached the point where he could change his body shape and appearance.
And…
Chen Ye moved his hands and feet a bit, feeling that his actions weren’t much affected.
In the future, if he wanted to make enemies with someone he could use the Light Body Technique to change his appearance and give his enemies a punch.
That’s right, this was the purpose of Chen Ye learning the Light Body Technique!!
…
By noon, the roommates returned one after another.
However, the enthusiasm of each person was not high. It was understandable that Qian Fugui wasn’t happy; after all, he was a burden that no one wanted to team up with.
Why wasn’t Zhao Zheng in a good mood? Among the new students, apart from Tang Zichen, he had the most outstanding talent. Just after returning not long ago, Zhao Zheng stood up as if preparing to go out.
“Zhao Ge, it’s almost time for lunch. Where are you going?” Lu Yong asked.
Zhao Zheng said, “I’m going to the toilet to wash my face.”
After Zhao Zheng left, Qian Fugui curiously asked, “Lu Yong, what’s wrong with Zhao Ge? Can’t he find someone to team up with?”
“With Zhao Ge’s talent, do you think that’s possible?”
Lu Yong sneered, “As long as Zhao Ge wants to form a team, except for Captain Tang, no one in the class will refuse him.”
“Why is Zhao Ge…?”
“Ah! Troubled by love!”
“Ah?”
“Ah what? Isn’t it normal for Zhao Ge to want a relationship? I changed girlfriends three times in high school. Besides, can’t you see it? Zhao Ge is actually very interested in Captain Tang! His mood is not good this time because Captain Tang clearly stated that she wouldn’t choose Zhao Ge as a teammate…”
Hearing this, Qian Fugui exclaimed, “So that’s it! I just found out about this.”
Chen Ye was slightly stunned. He also just found out that Zhao Zheng actually had a crush on Tang Zichen.
It was mainly because Chen Ye was used to being a “couch potato.” After finishing Saitama’s training, he would return to the dorm and lie down. He didn’t pay much attention to his roommates’ relationship issues.
Not like Lu Yong, who often followed behind Zhao Zheng, with the appearance of being Zhao Zheng’s loyal follower, observing very carefully.
Thinking about it, it was normal.
Among the male students in the class, there were probably few who could resist the beauty of Tang Zichen’s calibre.
But many people had self-awareness knowing that they were not up to the task, they wouldn’t think randomly.
Zhao Zheng, with his excellent talent, thought that the gap between him and Tang Zichen was relatively small, and he had a chance to get close to her, so he developed feelings.
After a while, Zhao Zheng returned, seemingly having adjusted his mentality.
“Let’s go, brothers, to the cafeteria for lunch.”
Just as everyone was about to agree…
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
A male student walked in, looking at Chen Ye strangely.
“Chen Ye, Captain Tang is looking for you. She said she’s waiting for you in the small forest behind the dormitory building.”
Everyone: “…”
Zhao Zheng, who had just adjusted his mood, broke down again…
