Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Shocked! What’s with this Weird Operation?
“Chen Ye, in the first secret realm, you were teammates with Tang Zichen.”
Mr. Liu asked, “According to the mechanism of average distribution in the secret realm, you also received 150 points of potential points, right?”
“Yes.”
Regarding this point, Tang Zichen had already mentioned it, so Chen Ye could only be honest.
Even though other students knew about this already, getting Chen Ye’s admission at this moment still made them envious to the point of turning red-eyed.
150 points of attributes!
If they were given to them, coupled with their talents, they could become second-tier strong ones in minutes.
Even Mr. Liu couldn’t help feeling emotional.
Back in the day, he only obtained a few dozen potential points from one trip to the secret realm, and he was praised by the teacher for a long time!
And now, this kid, just because he picked the right person, lying down, earned all those potential points. It’s really…
“Chen Ye, you must have increased your strength attribute a lot, right?”
Mr. Liu said, “With 150 points of potential, as long as you put 100 points of it into your strength attribute, getting a second-tier evaluation during the test later will not be a problem. Really, with your current strength, you might even make it into the top five of the class!”
Regarding this point, Mr. Liu was definitely not speaking without reason.
In fact, even those who had S-class talents, their current strength wasn’t much different from other mediocre students. In the early stages, the gap could be completely bridged by potential points.
Unless they had talent abilities as extraordinary as Tang Zichen’s, the gap would be hard to catch up to.
The potential points Chen Ye obtained in the secret realm this time, as long as most of them were added to strength, his destructive power would definitely be higher than those with S-class talent abilities.
Of course, in the eyes of everyone, even if Chen Ye performed well in one or two secret realms, his future potential couldn’t compare to those outstanding talent ability users.
For example, S-class talent ability users, once they grow up, their strength would be terrifying.
…
Hearing Mr. Liu’s words, the students looked at Chen Ye with even more envy…
“Chen Ye, it’s your turn to test. The teacher wants to see your strength,” Mr. Liu said again.
Teacher, are you sure you want to see it? Chen Ye was speechless.
After careful consideration, he still felt he couldn’t be reckless!
Once his strength was exposed, it would definitely attract attention from all sides. Even if he wouldn’t be dissected, he would probably lose some freedom. At that time, he would definitely become a key monitoring target for various forces.
After all, not everyone could sweet talk like Tang Zichen. Maybe Tang Zichen wasn’t sweet-talking at all; she just wisely chose to remain silent to help Chen Ye keep his secret.
If Chen Ye’s every move in the future was monitored by someone, then the secret of the bald-headed demon king would definitely not be kept.
As long as someone interested checked his matched hero, as well as his daily training methods, they would eventually figure out the existence of the Saitama training method.
At that time, there might be bald-headed demons exploding all over the world. When it reached that point, even if they wiped out all the monsters, the world would still be in complete chaos.
After all, no one could guarantee that everyone with the physique of the Caped Baldy would be a good person.
Even if they were good people before, after gaining powerful strength, it was inevitable that their mentality would swell, and evil thoughts would arise.
As long as a few villains appeared, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the whole world!
The consequences would be too serious! No, keep it steady!!
…
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Ye’s mind like lightning.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately made a decision and hesitantly said, “Teacher, can I not participate in the test?”
“Why?” Mr. Liu was puzzled.
“Are you not interested in the allowance? In fact, besides the allowance, becoming a nationally certified ability user also comes with many conveniences. Otherwise, the teacher wouldn’t have hurried to bring you all here to participate in the strength test.”
Chen Ye sighed and said, “Because, out of the 150 points of potential, I only added 20 points to the strength attribute, and the remaining 130 points, I added to physique.”
Telling this lie, Chen Ye felt really helpless. Indeed, he couldn’t control his strength well…
In daily life, it was easy to control now, after all, he was used to it. But once it erupted, it wasn’t easy to control, because his strength now was too strong!
During the strength test later, it should be tested on a punching machine, and Chen Ye couldn’t control his strength whether he punched lightly or heavily.
If he punched heavily, it would still arouse suspicion. If he punched lightly, Mr. Liu’s eyes wouldn’t miss it. After all, Mr. Liu was a fourth-tier expert.
It’s impossible for him not to notice whether his students were giving their all…
Blame it on Chen Ye for often staying at school and not having the opportunity to exercise his control over strength.
As for why he emphasised adding to the physique attribute, rather than mentioning other attributes?
It was because Chen Ye felt that letting the physique attribute take the blame was most appropriate.
Saying he added to the mental attribute? Probably no one would believe it.
Chen Ye didn’t have any abilities, so what would adding to the mental attribute do? Would that make sense? It would be a lie!
Saying he added to agility wasn’t good either. Agility could also be tested and wasn’t easy to disguise.
Once Chen Ye ran and deliberately slowed down, it would still be easy to see through.
After all, his true agility attribute had already reached over 300 points…
…
“What did you say?”
Mr. Liu stared at Chen Ye in disbelief. The other students, including the base staff, all had expressions of disbelief.
They couldn’t understand why Chen Ye would do such a weird operation.
“You added 130 points to your physique? Why?”
“Because, I’m afraid of dying…”
Hearing Chen Ye’s reason, Mr. Liu was simply unable to understand.
“Afraid of dying? Then you should also add some points to agility! While physique can increase your vitality, there are many ways monsters can use to kill you. Adding agility can at least make you run faster to save your life.”
“Because, besides being afraid of dying, I’m also afraid of pain…” Chen Ye looked embarrassed.
“Physique not only increases my vitality but also enhances defense and self-healing abilities. It can make me endure blows without feeling pain and heal quickly when injured.”
He felt embarrassed because of telling such a lie; even he felt awkward.
“Chen Ye, you really…”
Hearing Chen Ye’s reasons, Mr. Liu was completely speechless. The other students were both surprised and amused as they looked at Chen Ye.
Probably no one had expected that this guy would be such a weirdo because he’s afraid of pain.
So he added all his potential to physique? This operation is truly beyond comprehension!
So baffling that they couldn’t understand it at all…
Chen Ye looked embarrassed.
At this moment, he noticed Tang Zichen standing behind Mr. Liu, with a hint of uncontrollable laughter on her face…
Chen Ye glared fiercely at this girl.
A moment later, Mr. Liu suddenly said, “Even if you added a lot to physique, you can still be tested. Chen Ye, go to the pressure chamber!”
This Mr. Liu was really persistent!
“Okay!”
Chen Ye could only agree. He didn’t mind going to the pressure chamber.
Testing pressure resistance could be completely disguised. This was also the reason he chose to say he added to physique.
A staff member stepped forward, giving Chen Ye a strange look, then said, “Um… Chen Ye, the pressure test is a bit dangerous. If you feel you can’t bear it later, be sure to react in time.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Then, Chen Ye entered the pressure chamber. Inside the pressure chamber, it mainly tested air pressure.
When the staff member activated the air pressure button, Chen Ye immediately felt the surrounding air suddenly turn as hard as steel, pressing fiercely against him.
On the wall, the KPA (kilopascal) value was rapidly fluctuating.
10, 20, 30…
When it reached 80 MPA, Chen Ye immediately raised his hand to indicate that he couldn’t take it anymore.
Well, Tang Zichen persisted to 100 MPA; he added 130 points to physique, so getting 80 MPA should be normal, right?
In reality, 80 MPA made him uncomfortable, but it was far from his limit. The Caped Baldy wasn’t just invincible in strength; his defence was equally invincible!
When Chen Ye walked out of the pressure chamber, he deliberately pretended to be out of breath and flushed his face (this was easy to do, just simulate straining to defecate).
He looked like he had reached his limit. Even Mr. Liu couldn’t see anything abnormal.
The staff member said, “Chen Ye, based on the test just now, your pressure resistance level has completely reached the second-tier standard. However… for someone like you with only a strong physique and not much destructive power, the evaluation standard will be lowered by one level. Your final result is probably only first-tier.”
“Oh, first-tier is first-tier!” Chen Ye didn’t care at all.
In his current state, Mr. Liu saw him and naturally wished he could be more outstanding.
…
A morning passed.
It was enough time for all the new students of Wuda University to test their strength. By noon, everyone returned to school.
The test results would be sent to the headquarters of the Ability Association for review. About a week later, students who passed the test would receive their own identity and strength medals.
As for whether there would be cheating? Impossible!
At the time of the test, there were countless cameras indoors, recording the testing process of all students from various angles.
These recorded surveillance videos would also be sent to the headquarters of the Ability Association for review.
No surveillance video, no valid test results. Impossible to cheat!
This was also why Chen Ye preferred to say he added to physique, rather than mentioning other attributes.
Once he concealed his strength during the strength test, those powerful bigwigs could see it through the videos…
This time, almost half of the students passed the test. Among them, there were five people who could reach the second tier, including Tang Zichen.
Such results might seem not very good, but Mr. Liu was ecstatic because this was the end of the first secret realm!
In the past, there had never been such results. Especially Tang Zichen, who had already touched the edge of the third tier, absolutely breaking all records!
The only regret Mr. Liu felt was that there was a pit, who could easily have a second-tier strength evaluation but turned himself into a first-tier due to being afraid of pain and death…
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Liu announced the start of the class. All the students gathered in the classroom again.
“This time, for those who didn’t pass the strength test, don’t be discouraged. Work hard again in the next secret realm, and you’ll definitely be able to get the national certified ability user medal.”
Mr. Liu stood on the podium, talking eloquently, “Now, let’s talk about the characteristics of the monsters in the second secret realm.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Liu operated the laptop, projecting a photo onto the blackboard.
When Chen Ye saw the monster in the photo, his face suddenly became strange.
Goodness. It’s someone he recognized!
