Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 26
Chapter 26: The Ace at the Critical Moment
“Oh, the class leader looked for me to repay a favour.”
Chen Ye tried to downplay it. But still, no one believed it!
“Repay a favour? Repaying it in the small forest?” Qian Fugui asked with a laugh.
Chen Ye was helpless. If he had to blame someone, blame Tang Zichen for choosing such a good meeting place…
“Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t. Brothers all understand!”
Qian Fugui shouted, “You kid is really amazing! Even someone as proud as Captain Tang can be won over by you, impressive!”
Zhao Zheng’s face became a bit pale, then he suddenly smiled bitterly, “Chen Ye, I guess you’ve figured it out, I have some feelings for Captain Tang, so it’s not convenient to talk about it, right?”
“It’s okay…”
“In matters of the heart, the most important thing is mutual affection. Since you can enter the heart of the class leader, it means you are more outstanding than me. As your roommate and friend, I will only wish you well. Don’t feel any psychological pressure, I’m not that narrow-minded person.”
Chen Ye: “…”
Did I really just speak the truth!?
He couldn’t help but admire these people’s imagination.
However, he was quite impressed with Zhao Zheng’s generosity.
He could tell that Zhao Zheng’s words just now were sincere.
Of course, if this kid dared to play a double game with him, praising him on the surface but undermining him behind his back, then he would have to use the Lightness Technique to let Zhao Zheng taste his “serious punch.”
Beside him, Lu Yong, seeing Zhao Zheng opening up, breathed a sigh of relief, then enviedly looked at Chen Ye.
“Chen Ye, you really have it, hidden deep!”
Lu Yong added, “With your relationship with Captain Tang, you should know who Captain Tang’s teammate is, right? Why not tell everyone?”
This question puzzled Chen Ye.
“Since you already think I’m Captain Tang’s target, why can’t you also think that I might be the one Captain Tang wants as a teammate?”
Lu Yong was stunned, then smiled and stopped talking.
Qian Fugui immediately grinned, “It’s simple. Lu Yong definitely thinks that with your poor talent, Captain Tang, for the sake of the future, won’t team up with you, even if you’re in a relationship with her.”
This guy had a poor talent too, and even realised that he might not survive this secret realm adventure, so he spoke without reservation, not afraid of offending people.
“Fugui, I didn’t think that way, don’t talk nonsense.”
Lu Yong felt awkward and deliberately changed the topic, asking Chen Ye, “Old Chen, from what you just said, Captain Tang, in the class, rejected so many people, is she really looking to team up with you?”
Chen Ye nodded truthfully.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised.
“Wow!”
Envy made Qian Fugui say, “I was a bit skeptical before that Captain Tang was really in a relationship with you, but now, I can’t doubt it anymore. Even in matters of teaming up, she is willing to bring you along?!”
“Old Chen, don’t be offended if I say this bluntly, with your talent, like me, you’re just a burden. Captain Tang can decide to team up with you, it’s true love, a great sacrifice. You must cherish it.”
Lu Yong and Zhao Zheng also nodded in agreement.
Chen Ye: “…”
Now, even with a single attribute breaking two hundred, it’s considered a burden?
Do you guys have such high standards?
“Have you all eaten?”
Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, “If you’ve eaten, then disperse! I also need to find teammates.”
Hearing this, the flatterer Lu Yong suddenly felt a bit lost.
He was right next to Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng even said this, indicating that he didn’t even consider him.
“Then let’s go!”
Qian Fugui said carelessly and stood up first. Then, everyone dispersed.
Chen Ye returned to the dormitory, ready to take a nap before completing the Saitama Training Method.
Regarding Tang Zichen looking for him to team up, he actually had an indifferent attitude.
It could be a team or not. He could survive alone in the secret realm but sleeping alone might be a bit dangerous.
After all, as Old Liu said, the threats in the secret realm are not only zombies but also other humans.
For safety reasons, having a teammate to watch out for each other was indeed a good idea. This was one of the reasons why Chen Ye did not refuse Tang Zichen.
Another reason was that Tang Zichen was very beautiful.
Chen Ye never denied that he was an LSP. Having a beautiful female teammate was always better than fighting alone.
If it were a male teammate, he would definitely prefer to go alone.
The only trouble was that he had quite a few secrets, and it might be a bit inconvenient to handle them when he was with Tang Zichen.
…
The next day, at ten in the morning all the freshmen gathered on the playground. Each person was dressed neatly, holding weapons and packages in their hands.
Like soldiers about to go into battle, poised for action.
In 50 minutes, they would be transported to the secret realm.
Then, a group of school leaders, accompanied by Old Liu, came to the playground.
From this, it could be seen that the school leaders attached great importance to this year’s freshmen.
Looking at these ready-to-go freshmen, the deputy principal stepped forward and said seriously:
“Students! The principal is still on the front line in the Magic Capital and can’t come back temporarily. However, he asked me to bring a message to you: Make sure to come back safely!!”
After saying this, the deputy principal stepped down. Chen Ye liked this straightforward style.
Moreover, although the words were short, they carried a significant expectation, much more nutritious than those verbose motivational speeches.
Following that, Old Liu continued in a loud voice, “I know you’ve all found your teammates, now, you can hold hands with your teammates.”
“Teaming up in the secret realm is not that complicated. Just hold hands with your partner during the teleportation, and if you do, the teaming up will be successful, and you’ll be transported to the same place.”
This condition. Obviously, many students did not know.
Those who chose the combination of two males solely for combat power turned green upon hearing this.
But after Old Liu finished speaking, he didn’t care about the other students.
His attention was entirely focused on Tang Zichen.
When he saw Tang Zichen, he turned his head to look at Chen Ye, and Chen Ye also turned his gaze to Tang Zichen…
In Old Liu’s mind, there was a sudden feeling of something big going wrong.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the student with the best talent in the class and the student with the worst talent held hands.
It looked like Tang Zichen took the initiative…
Suddenly, except for Zhao Zheng, Lu Yong, and Qian Fugui, the three of them, everyone who saw this scene was instantly shocked.
Nowadays, Chen Ye is also a school celebrity.
Everyone knows that Wuda has set a precedent by enrolling the first C-level hero talent in history, named Chen Ye.
As for Tang Zichen, not to mention, she is a celebrity even before she enrols. At least everyone present, including the school leaders, knew these two.
It was precisely because of this that when everyone saw these two seemingly incompatible figures holding hands, they all felt it was unbelievable and shocking!
“Teacher Liu, what’s going on?”
The deputy principal asked with a frown, “If I didn’t read it wrong, the person Captain Tang wants to team up with is Chen Hui’s son, right? The little guy with the C-level talent? Isn’t this a mess?”
The voice was somewhat serious. Facing the deputy principal’s questioning, Old Liu’s face turned blue.
He cared more about Tang Zichen than the deputy principal.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Tang Zichen, at the critical moment, would make such an unexpected choice, almost hitting him in the face with a trump card.
