Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 61
Chapter 61: I Have a Friend…
“Son, how have you been lately?”
“Pretty good… Mom, I heard that the frontline reinforcements are starting to withdraw. Has dad come back?”
“He’s back, watching TV!”
“That’s good.”
“What’s up? Miss your dad? Want to talk to him?”
“Uh… I think it’s fine!”
“Your dad got some beast crystal fruits as rewards this time he came back, they’re good for health. I saved some for you and your brother, come home and have them when you return.”
“……Okay, thanks mom.”
“Silly kid, why be so polite with me… By the way, son, do any of your classmates want to join the Supernatural Ability Association?”
“I don’t think so for now, right? Last month, the teacher reminded us not to join the association too early, so as not to be distracted from our studies… Why, mom? Why ask all of a sudden?”
“Just now I heard your dad talking to his colleague on the phone, saying that our province hasn’t produced many outstanding talents and strong individuals this year. If this continues, it might affect your dad’s assessment by the end of the year…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye understood.
Being the branch president of the Supernatural Ability Association, although it seems prestigious, it’s not that easy. There are also assessment tasks similar to achievements.
Although Chen Ye thought that even if the assessment went poorly, it probably wouldn’t affect President Chen’s status much, it’s still not a good influence.
Yang Rongzhi added, “Son, if any of your classmates want to join the association, remember to introduce them to your dad’s side! Don’t worry, as long as they are your classmates, your dad won’t assign them tasks, absolutely won’t distract them from their studies.”
Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, “Mom, I have a friend…”
Before he could finish, Yang Rongzhi immediately asked, “Wait, what friend? Is it your classmate?”
“Not a classmate…”
“Then who is it? Where did you meet?”
Chen Ye suddenly felt a headache. He could tell that his mom was worried about his choice of friends.
“Mom, don’t worry, your son isn’t stupid, I won’t befriend those unruly characters.”
“That’s good, remember what you said!”
Chen Ye quickly changed the subject, “My friend has pretty good strength, and he hasn’t joined the association. I’ll ask him to join dad’s side tomorrow. Remember to let dad know.”
Hearing this, Yang Rongzhi became worried again. It seems that all mothers are the same when it comes to their children’s friendships.
“What kind of person is your friend? Does he listen to you so obediently?”
“Uh… No, he himself mentioned last time that he wanted to join the association. I recommended him to dad’s side, and with this face, he should give it to me!”
“Oh, is your friend male or female?”
“Male.”
“What’s his name?”
“……Long Aotian!”
This question came a bit suddenly, and Chen Ye hadn’t even thought of a name yet. In a moment of panic, he thought of the protagonists in novels he had seen in his previous life on Earth, and blurted out this name.
Besides, Chen Ye also felt that now that he’s already low-key enough, he should be a bit high-profile with this new identity, to avoid suspicion from others.
On the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence.
Then, Yang Rongzhi’s voice sounded again, “Your friend’s name sounds quite arrogant… Okay, I’ll tell your dad.”
She didn’t ask Chen Ye how strong this friend named Long Aotian was.
Because she felt that, at Chen Ye’s current stage, no matter how strong his friends were, they wouldn’t be much stronger.
“Oh, mom, I miss you and dad, why don’t I come back tomorrow and see both of you?” Chen Ye added.
Yang Rongzhi initially wanted to emphasise the importance of studying but when she thought about not seeing her son for three months, she really missed him, so she changed her mind.
“Okay, son, when will you arrive home? Mom will make some delicious food for you.”
“Probably in the afternoon!”
“Okay, I got it.”
…
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The friend he mentioned just now, “Long Aotian,” of course, refers to himself.
He’s the one using the Lightness Skill now.
Chen Ye is also curious about his current strength and level. Tomorrow, he can go and test it out properly.
Also, it’s a good opportunity to help his dad, President Chen, with some assessment tasks.
Then,Chen Ye opened the attribute panel:
Name: Chen Ye.
Constitution: 532.
Spirit: 161.
Strength: 534.
Agility: 534.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
Assignable Potential: 0.
These are Chen Ye’s current attributes, ang are very explosive. Even those with S-level talents may not have such attributes in their lifetime.
And Chen Ye? From getting the Caped Baldy Physique to now, it’s only been 93 days…
Saitama Physique, awesome!
Originally, according to the calculation of increasing each attribute by 5 points per day, it would be impossible for Chen Ye’s individual attributes to exceed 500 points in 93 days.
The main change happened in the last month!
Perhaps because the weather has been quite hot this month, Chen Ye didn’t turn on the air conditioning after exercising every day, and surprisingly, his attributes increased.
Each individual attribute increased by +7 instead of +5 per day.
An additional 2 points, and an extra 60 points in a month.
For Chen Ye, it might not be much, but for others, it’s something they wouldn’t even dare to dream of…
He clenched his fists. Chen Ye felt that his body was filled with explosive power.
Just with a punch, he’s confident he could turn this dormitory into ruins!
“I wonder if my current strength has reached the Fifth Stage?”
Then, Chen Ye opened his phone and started buying a ticket for tomorrow morning.
…
At the same time.
Chen Family.
After Yang Rongzhi hung up the phone, she came to the living room and sat next to Chen Hui.
“Just now, our son called and said he’ll take a day off tomorrow to come back and see us, saying he misses us.”
Upon hearing this,Chen Hui snorted, “This brat, he actually has a conscience.”
But there was a smile on his lips.
Yang Rongzhi didn’t expose Chen Hui’s tough exterior and added, “By the way, our son said he’ll bring a friend over tomorrow to join the Supernatural Ability Association from your side.”
“Is it his classmate?”
“No.”
President Chen frowned at the news, “With the heavy workload at Wuda University, where did he make friends?”
Indeed, the reactions of the couple were the same when it came to their son’s friendships.
“I don’t know. He won’t say even if I ask.” Yang Rongzhi said, “When the person comes tomorrow, you can find out about him.”
Chen Hui thought for a moment and asked, “Did that brat mention the name of his friend?”
“He did, it’s Long Aotian!”
Yang Rongzhi couldn’t help but remark, “It’s quite a domineering name, gives me a bad feeling.”
Chen Hui was taken aback. Indeed, the name sounded quite arrogant. He immediately picked up his phone and made a call.
“Old Qian, hope I’m not disturbing your rest… Haha, no, it’s not just me… I need a favour, can you look into a person for me? His name is Long Aotian… Yes, that’s right, Long Aotian… What? No such person? Okay, got it… Good, I happen to have a bottle of good wine here, waiting for you to come and drink it!”
After hanging up the phone, the expressions of the couple turned serious.
