Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: The God-Making Plan

Crackling…

A massive bonfire burning on an open space. The flames almost illuminated the night.

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen stood quietly by the side, watching.

They weren’t setting the fire for fun, of course. They were burning the bodies of zombies.

Although Chen Ye had nearly chopped up hundreds of little zombies into pieces earlier, the little zombies didn’t die as a result.

They needed to be burned to completely kill them.

If Chen Ye knew spells, it would have been easy to deal with them.

The key was, he didn’t. Using fire was the best solution for Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

It was already late at night. After a night of tension and effort spent moving zombie bodies, Tang Zichen looked somewhat tired.

Seeing this, Chen Ye said, “Class Leader, why don’t you go to sleep first? I can keep watch.”

Tang Zichen didn’t agree.

She looked at the evolved zombie under Chen Ye’s foot, frowned slightly, and couldn’t help but ask, “Chen Ye, what do you plan to do with this zombie?”

“Keep it for now,” Chen Ye smiled and said, “I have a use for it.”

The clever Tang Zichen quickly realised what Chen Ye wanted to do.

“You’re planning to keep it because it can summon ordinary jumping zombies, so you want to use its summoning ability to attract jumping zombies to kill, right?”

Chen Ye wasn’t surprised that Tang Zichen figured out his intentions because his ideas were easily decipherable. Otherwise, why would a man keep a zombie?

It was normal for Tang Zichen’s intelligence to see through this.

“Yes!”

Chen Ye smiled and said, “With this guy around, I can eliminate all the monsters in the secret realm in the remaining nine days!”

“According to Teacher Liu, killing a jumping zombie can yield about six potential points. By then, our attributes might break a thousand!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen couldn’t help but smile.

This girl usually didn’t smile much, always wearing a cold pretty face. At this moment, her slight smile was as beautiful as a flower.

“Chen Ye, you’re thinking too simply!”

“What’s wrong?” Chen Ye looked puzzled.

Tang Zichen continued, “The secret realm has a reward limit, you should know that, right?”

Chen Ye was stunned, he really didn’t know.

Tang Zichen shook her head and said, “Think about it, if there were no reward limits in the secret realm, wouldn’t our country’s population and strength be enough to artificially create gods?

As long as we send a team of new recruits, all with C-level hero talent, armed with firearms into the secret realm, capturing jumping zombies when encountered, and then let a person with good talent kill them. Doesn’t it sound similar to your current idea?

At that time, we could create a supreme powerhouse. Such a simple way to create gods, even I can think of it, do you think the higher-ups wouldn’t? So why hasn’t anyone taken action?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye suddenly realised.

It all made sense. No wonder no one had proposed a god-making plan.

It turned out the secret realm had long been prepared, setting a reward limit to block unfair competition.

God-making wasn’t possible, plus with the teleportation positions being disrupted, and the vast map of the secret realm, nobody would waste so many resources for a little extra reward because it wasn’t worth it.

Unless they took the route of Lee Jae-rong. However, Lee Jae-rong’s end was enough to make people wary.

…

“Chen Ye, the jumping zombies you just killed are enough for us to reach the highest reward limit, and we might even secure the extra rewards,” Tang Zichen said.

Chen Ye was disappointed to hear this.

He had hoped to control the evolved zombie to attract a large number of little zombies to kill, reaping huge benefits but this bug had already been fixed.

Suddenly, Chen Ye looked dejected, as if he had lost his spirit.

He pointed to the evolved zombie under his foot and said helplessly, “So, is this guy useless now?”

Tang Zichen nodded and added, “If you’re worried, you can use it to attract more jumping zombies to kill, ensuring your lead in the number of kills, and then you’ll be sure to get the extra rewards.”

“Oh, by the way, what exactly are the extra rewards?” Chen Ye asked.

Tang Zichen said, “As far as I know, the extra rewards in the first three secret realms are also potential points, and the quantity isn’t too much, probably about a quarter of the maximum reward.”

A quarter of 120 is 30. In other words, this time in the secret realm, they could only get a maximum of 150 potential points.

Upon hearing this number, Chen Ye was very dissatisfied.

He had hoped to control the evolved zombie to attract a large number of little zombies to kill and reap a huge reward.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, there was nothing he could do.

They were already here. They couldn’t just leave, could they?
