Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 62
Chapter 62: Testing Begins
The next morning.
After Chen Ye got up, he first asked for a day off from Old Liu.
This little matter, Old Liu certainly wouldn’t refuse. After all, he had already covered everything about the zombie monsters in the No. 2 secret realm. Now, they were in the review stage, so it wasn’t a big problem for Chen Ye to miss a day of class.
After getting the leave approved, Chen Ye left the school and took a taxi to the station.
Once on the bus, Chen Ye thought for a moment and sent a message to his dad.
[Dad, my friend just told me he’s already on his way, he should arrive in about an hour and a half… Also, my friend doesn’t have an ID card, could you please help him with that!]
Chen Ye thought that after sending this message, President Chen would definitely call him to question him.
He had already prepared his excuses and was waiting for the phone call but it didn’t happen.
The message showed that President Chen had read it, but he didn’t reply, and Chen Ye didn’t know what that meant…
The city of Siyang is very close to Chen Ye’s hometown. The car only took an hour to arrive safely.
(TL/N: Siyang is situated in the Jiangsu province of eastern China)
After getting off the car, Chen Ye first went to the mall, casually bought a set of shorter clothes, and then went into the mall’s bathroom. When he came out again, he was a completely different person.
The previous Chen Ye had well-defined features, a height of 1.85 metres, and a figure comparable to a model. Walking in the mall, he attracted the attention of many women.
Now, he was just over 1.7 metres tall, with average looks and a very ordinary appearance.
Even because of his dull eyes, he looked a bit strange.
Chen Ye didn’t shrink himself to just over 1.6 metres; that would affect his ability to perform.
His current height just didn’t affect him.
When Chen Ye looked in the mirror, he was surprised to find that his current appearance was somewhat similar to the Caped Baldy…
At this moment, he was Long Aotian. Chen Ye originally wanted to make a proud expression to match his arrogant new name. He tried several times but eventually gave up.
Although the Lightness Skill could change his appearance, it couldn’t change his personality.
Making a smug look with his nostrils in the air, squinting at people, trying to look cool… just thinking about it was embarrassing!
As long as he acted more high-profile in the future, it would be enough to live up to the name Long Aotian.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Ye took a taxi and arrived at the local Supernatural Ability Association.
The building was very grand and had a large area, far exceeding the base in Siyang.
Moreover, the location here was not remote, although it was not in the city centre, it was considered a prosperous area.
After all, it’s the branch of the Supernatural Ability Association in the provincial capital city, it’s different.
At this moment, there were many people coming in and out of the building, many of them were dressed oddly and carrying weapons, obviously not easy to mess with Supernatural Ability users.
Chen Ye even saw a guy with a crew cut, carrying three knives around his waist.
Who does he think he is, Zoro? Playing with three swords?
When Chen Ye entered the lobby on the first floor, there were even more people inside, many of them gathered in groups of two or three, exchanging experiences.
In the indoor area ahead, the sound of impact could be heard from time to time, indicating that someone was testing their strength inside.
It’s truly a big city, even Supernatural Ability users are so many. Chen Ye went to the front desk.
The receptionist politely asked, “Hello sir, how can I help you?”
“I have an appointment with President Chen,” Chen Ye said.
The receptionist was slightly surprised at his words.
Anyone who could have an appointment with President Chen must not be an ordinary person.
Immediately, her attitude became much more polite, “May I ask for your name, sir?”
“Long Aotian!”
As soon as this name came out, the discussions in the hall immediately quieted down a lot.
Indeed, this name exuded too much pressure!
Moreover, when Chen Ye mentioned that he had an appointment with President Chen, he didn’t hide it. Many people around heard it.
At this moment, hearing this name again, it was simply…
The receptionist’s expression also became somewhat strange, but her professionalism was excellent. She immediately said, “Alright, Mr. Long, please wait a moment, I will inform President Chen.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the phone next to her and dialed the secretary’s number for President Chen.
Five minutes later.
The people in the lobby were surprised to see that President Chen, a famous Fifth Stage strongman in the country, had personally come to the lobby and walked up to the young man with the particularly arrogant name.
“President Chen, hello!”
Chen Ye greeted first, “It’s an honour to meet you.”
Although Chen Ye had decided to act with a high profile using the identity of Long Aotian, he didn’t want to be arrogant in front of this man.
After all, this was his father, the elder who cared for him.
“Are you Long Aotian? Young man, you look spirited!”
Perhaps because of his son, President Chen’s attitude towards Chen Ye at this moment was also very polite. He even patted Chen Ye’s shoulder specially, showing great enthusiasm.
“Regarding your situation, Chen Ye has already told me. Your ID card is being processed and will be delivered soon,” President Chen said with a smile. “On behalf of myself, I welcome you to join our Supernatural Ability Association!”
As expected of someone who can become the branch president.
At least in terms of dealing with people, President Chen’s emotional intelligence was very high, giving people a very easy-going feeling, without any arrogance of a big shot.
Originally, Chen Ye thought that his dad might question him about this pseudonym to prevent him from making friends recklessly.
But it didn’t happen.
“Oh, by the way, Long Aotian, what level is your current strength? We need it for registration later,” President Chen smiled and asked, “It’s time to put you in the records.”
Chen Ye: “Um… actually, I’m not sure. I haven’t tested it properly.”
President Chen was just about to see the bottom of this boy, but upon hearing this, he immediately said, “That’s great, I have all the equipment here, why don’t you test it here?”
“Sure!” Chen Ye readily agreed.
Then. President Chen led Chen Ye in. Seeing this, others followed to watch the fun.
…
Everyone arrived at the strength testing base. The equipment here was similar to that in Siyang City, but the place was much more spacious.
A staff member came forward, but was waved away by President Chen.
It seemed that President Chen wanted to personally test the strength of his son’s friend.
There were many people in the testing base.
Seeing President Chen personally taking action, many people ran over to watch the excitement.
“Long Aotian, what hero talent do you have?”
“S15!”
Chen Ye said without hesitation.
S15.
It’s actually the Tanktop Master. This is a hero who focuses on strength. His talent is also related to strength. Among the S-class heroes, he is relatively suitable for Chen Ye’s current situation.
Many onlookers were somewhat surprised when they heard Chen Ye mention the code name S15.
S-class talent, no matter where you go, is among the best (except for S7).
Even President Chen nodded silently. However, looking at Chen Ye’s thin figure, he always felt that he didn’t quite fit the hero talent of S15…
Although he was puzzled, President Chen didn’t show it on his face and calmly asked, “So, you should be following the path of strength, right?”
Chen Ye nodded and added, “Besides strength, my physique and agility are also not bad.”
“Oh?”
President Chen was a little surprised. The other party dared to say this in front of him, it must be confident.
“I didn’t expect you to be an all-around warrior,” President Chen said with a smile, looking at the time on his watch, “Let’s not waste any more time, let’s start testing now.”
“No problem!”
Chen Ye was eager to try. He also wanted to know what evaluation his three months of training could achieve.
