Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 50
Chapter 50: Sensation! Tang Zichen’s Decision
There are many videos about Chairman Chen online.
During the twenty days when the new students entered the secret realm, there were also many touching stories on the frontlines of the Demon Capital.
Among them, Chairman Chen’s lone battle against two Level 4 monsters to prevent them from breaking through the defence line was quite a big news. Ten days ago, it caused a sensation, trending on hot searches and receiving praise from netizens.
Chen Ye clicked on a video with over a hundred million views.
Before he started watching, he saw countless comments from netizens below the video…
“Chairman Chen is really awesome!”
“Amazing, this is the true power of a Tier 5 powerhouse, right?”
“So strong, so fierce, unimaginable, we humans can also unleash such power.”
“Combat hero Chairman Chen, my idol!!”
“Haha, dare to act arrogant in front of Chairman Chen? Monsters are doomed!!”
“This is what it means to be an indomitable force!”
“So fierce! Among all S3 talent holders, Chairman Chen’s strength is already one of the representatives, right?”
Just reading these comments, Chen Ye had a feeling that the video must be very exciting.
He couldn’t wait to click on the video. The video was shot from an aerial perspective, probably taken by a drone.
At the beginning, there were monsters everywhere, fiercely attacking the human defence line.
Shouts, gunfire, the howls of monsters… constantly resounded.
Through the lens, Chen Ye also saw how fierce and brutal the battlefield between humans and monsters was!
At this moment, there were two particularly fierce-looking monsters leading a group of other monsters, charging straight towards a certain human defence line.
These two monsters were extremely powerful, impervious to human firearms, charging recklessly. Many military soldiers were powerless to stop them and died tragically under the monsters’ hooves.
Just as these two monsters were about to break through the defence line…
Suddenly, a voice that was both heart-wrenching and extremely powerful echoed at the scene:
“Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!”
A burly man, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, rushed from a distance, colliding with the two Level 4 monsters.
The next moment, the sky was filled with fist shadows!!!
Bang bang bang…
The air exploded, emitting continuous sonic booms. Human eyes could no longer capture how many punches the man had thrown in an instant.
All everyone could see were the two huge monsters completely submerged in fist shadows!
Moreover, amidst the interweaving of fist shadows, there were blue water-like glows appearing, drawing beautiful curves in the air, ultimately intertwining into a net, preventing the two Level 4 monsters from advancing another inch!
Not long after, when all the fist shadows disappeared, the two Level 4 monsters also collapsed with a resounding crash.
Upon closer inspection, these two Level 4 monsters looked extremely miserable, covered with fist marks, completely disfigured by the beating…
…
The video ended here. After watching the video, Chen Ye was completely stunned, very surprised.
He really didn’t expect that his old man in this world could have such strong power.
Even though his attributes were terrifying now, he would still be beaten up by his old man Chairman Chen, right? Tier 5 powerhouse, indeed powerful!
In his wandering thoughts. Suddenly, someone called Chen Ye via video chat.
It was his mother, Yang Rongzhi.
Chen Ye got up and went to the corridor of the dormitory to answer the call, as Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong had just fallen asleep, and it wouldn’t be good to wake them up in the dormitory.
“Hello! Son!”
As soon as the video call connected, Yang Rongzhi’s surprised voice came through: “I just saw the news, the news said that you and that girl Tang Zichen, in the secret realm, received additional rewards? Is that true?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
Chen Ye nodded with a smile.
“Oh! That’s really great!”
Yang Rongzhi seemed very happy when her son achieved something, even happier than when she herself achieved something.
“Chen Ye, you must thank that girl properly, if it weren’t for her leading in the secret realm, you wouldn’t have achieved such good results.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I know.”
At this moment, Yang Rongzhi suddenly smiled meaningfully: “Chen Ye, I also heard from the news that that girl Tang Zichen teamed up with you in the secret realm?”
Chen Ye knew what his mother was thinking.
He nodded helplessly: “Yes.”
“So, you two have been together for these twenty days, facing difficulties together, supporting each other?”
“Mom, what do you want to say, just say it straight!”
“Hehehe… it’s nothing, I’m just curious, just asking casually.”
“That’s good, I’m just classmates with Tang Zichen, don’t think too much.”
“Really? Your father told me that he only asked that girl Tang Zichen to take care of you in the secret realm if she happened to meet you, but he didn’t ask this child to team up with you!”
“She did it to thank dad for his kindness back then and wanted to repay Chairman Chen properly, so she chose to team up with Chairman Chen’s son.”
“Really? According to what you said, this girl is even better! Beautiful and kind-hearted… really a good child.”
Chen Ye knew he couldn’t convince his mother, so he changed the subject and asked, “By the way, why didn’t anyone tell me about Dad supporting the front lines in the Demon Capital? It’s such a big deal?”
“Weren’t you about to enter the secret realm at the time? Your dad and I didn’t want you to worry, so we didn’t say anything.”
Yang Rongzhi added, “Besides, the situation is stable now. Your dad will probably be back soon. You just focus on getting along well with that girl in school, don’t worry about your dad.”
“Wait, what do you mean by getting along well with that girl?”
“Ah? Son, what are you saying? My signal is bad… I have a meeting to attend, son, we’ll talk later!”
Beep!
The video call ended. Chen Ye just smiled.
It seemed that his parents probably didn’t know that Tang Zichen had been ambushed in the secret realm, otherwise, his mother Yang Rongzhi wouldn’t have had this attitude.
It might make him keep his distance from Tang Zichen.
…
As time passed, the news of Chen Ye and Tang Zichen receiving additional rewards became more and more popular. By evening, it reached the top of the hot search list, becoming the number one trending topic.
After all, in Xia Country, no one had achieved such an honour for several years.
Since the appearance of monsters, global transportation had been almost completely cut off, and various sports events had been forced to cancel. In such a situation, the additional rewards in the secret realm were inevitably associated with national dignity.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Chen Ye and Tang Zichen’s ability to receive additional rewards did bring glory to the country.
However, while netizens congratulated the two, they also questioned Chen Ye. At this point, Chen Ye’s related information had been thoroughly investigated by netizens.
How could someone with a C-grade hero talent be admitted to Wuda University?
Many netizens sarcastically criticised and questioned the fairness of Wuda University’s admissions.
Many netizens were simply jealous of Chen Ye, being able to team up with a goddess like Tang Zichen and being lifted by her.
Of course, there were also many netizens who supported Chairman Chen, believing that Chairman Chen’s contributions to the country far outweighed the act of sending his son to a prestigious university, which was not a big deal.
Many powerful figures do the same. There was no need to exaggerate Chairman Chen and Wuda University.
So, this matter gradually turned into a huge controversy on the internet.
The debate among netizens once again made Chen Ye famous nationwide, becoming a national celebrity.
Two months ago, when he became popular on the internet because of his C-grade hero talent, everyone just saw him as a fool who embarrassed himself.
Now, in everyone’s eyes, he was a little white face who succeeded with a woman’s help. Regarding the many netizens who regarded him as a little white face.
…
Wuda University’s old campus.
Female dormitory.
As a high-end talent who was treated specially, Tang Zichen was different from other freshmen. She had her own independent dormitory!
The reason the school arranged it like this, besides showing their importance to Tang Zichen, was also because they were afraid that other students would disturb Tang Zichen’s rest.
After all, Tang Zichen needed to exercise her spiritual power every day. If she didn’t rest well, it would definitely affect her.
At this moment, it was already past seven in the evening. Tang Zichen was sitting in front of her computer desk, looking at the controversy on the internet, frowning slightly.
She knew better than anyone else in the world that in the secret realm, it was not her who led Chen Ye, but Chen Ye who led her!
Teaming up with Chen Ye was her basking in his glory.
Now, not only had she not repaid Chairman Chen’s favour, but even his son owed her a life-saving favour.
Seeing Chen Ye being questioned and attacked by netizens, Tang Zichen’s expression looked somewhat unpleasant.
After some thought, she made a bold decision!!
