Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 64
Chapter 64: Wise Chairman Chen
A hundred metres in 1.3 seconds. As soon as this explosive figure came out, almost everyone felt a tingling sensation on their scalp.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Chen Ye was undoubtedly a genuine monster.
Terrifying strength aside, even his speed was so exaggerated…
Even Chairman Chen no longer saw this Long Aotian as a junior but as an equal.
Next, Chen Ye underwent tests for nerve reaction, pressure resistance, and body coordination…
There was no way around it, the requirements for the fourth tier were higher than the third, requiring at least five tests to pass.
And Chen Ye’s several tests were all more than satisfactory, even exceeding the standards!
Half an hour later.
Amidst a gaze filled with awe, Chen Ye left the Supernatural Ability Association building.
His final test evaluation remained at the fourth tier.
Actually, Chairman Chen mentioned that Chen Ye’s overall strength was already close to the fifth tier. It’s just that the branch here didn’t have the authority to test fifth-tier strongmen. If Chen Ye wanted to test at the fifth tier, he would need to go to headquarters for the chairman to personally test him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye promptly declined without hesitation. The main reason he came incognito was to complete tasks and assessments for his old man.
What tier or not, he didn’t care! As for the national subsidy? His parents knew how to make money.
Just being a good-for-nothing prodigal son was enough; he didn’t really need that little national subsidy!
…
Outside.
Chen Ye deliberately changed his appearance several times in two shopping malls to prevent anyone from staring at him and uncovering his true identity.
By the time he got home, it was already afternoon. Just in time for his appointment with his mother.
“Chen Ye, you’re back! Wash your hands first; there are Beast Crystal Fruits on the table.”
Beast Crystal Fruits had only appeared in recent years. They were a kind of plant found in the wild, mutated by the blood of some monsters, and bore fruits that, when consumed by humans, indeed had a strengthening effect.
However, these fruits only appeared in the territories of monsters and were very difficult to obtain, making them particularly precious.
Not seeing each other for three months, Yang Rongzhi clearly missed her son. Seeing Chen Ye return home, her eyes were full of smiles and indulgence towards her son.
Chen Ye knew that at this moment, it was best to behave obediently…
By the time dinner came around in the evening.
Chairman Chen also came home on time.
However, sitting at the dining table. Chairman Chen didn’t have a smiling face.
“Chen Ye, tell me honestly, how did you meet that friend of yours?” Chairman Chen’s tone was unfriendly.
Yang Rongzhi, protective as she was, immediately became unhappy, “Your son finally came back, can’t you wait until after dinner to talk?”
Chairman Chen snorted coldly, “If we don’t sort out this matter today, I won’t be able to eat!”
Having been married for many years, Yang Rongzhi naturally understood her husband.
Seeing him so serious, she knew there must be something going on!
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the friend Chen Ye introduced?” Yang Rongzhi asked.
Chairman Chen replied, “Today, he introduced that friend to me for strength testing, and all the test standards reached a 4+ level… How can someone as young as him, a freshman, know such a powerful friend?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Rongzhi was also shocked. Although she wasn’t a supernatural, she understood what “4+” meant.
It meant that the friend her son introduced already had late fourth-tier strength, close to the fifth tier!!
Someone with this kind of strength, no matter where they were, would be a prominent figure. It shouldn’t be someone a student could know. Moreover, the other person gave her son face like that, saying he would join here, and actually came.
It’s abnormal! Absolutely abnormal!
So, Yang Rongzhi’s expression became serious as she stared at Chen Ye.
“Son, you speak up!”
Chen Ye, seeing the situation, remained unchanged. He had already anticipated and prepared for such an eventuality.
“About half a month ago, I couldn’t sleep because I was hungry one night, so I planned to go out for supper. As a result, I met Long Aotian who had just broken up and seemed a little suicidal. I stopped him… Later, I drank with him and advised him to start anew… He took it to heart and regarded me as a friend…”
Although Chen Ye’s words sounded decent, Chairman Chen and his wife were not so easily fooled.
“He’s so young and already so strong, and such an excellent person still had a breakup? I’m afraid women would be throwing themselves at him when they see him?” Chairman Chen furrowed his brows.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Rongzhi heard this, she twisted her eyebrows and directly mocked, “Oh! So, with your strength, Chairman Chen, don’t you have countless girls throwing themselves at you every day?”
Chairman Chen suddenly got a headache, “I just said it casually, just as an example, to make this brat not trust others so easily.”
Yang Rongzhi knew when to stop; she didn’t continue to argue.
Chen Ye interjected, “I’m not stupid. If there’s anything wrong with him, I’ll keep my distance immediately.”
“You’re not stupid?”
Chairman Chen snorted, angrily saying, “Do you know, Long Aotian’s current appearance is not his true face at all!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye was shocked!
He thought he disguised himself very well. Unexpectedly, his dad could see through it?
Although he was shocked inside, Chen Ye remained calm on the surface:
“Dad, how do you know that his current appearance isn’t his true face?”
“Your old man is a nationally renowned martial arts master, proficient in over a dozen national martial arts. That Long Aotian, using light body technique in front of me, was like showing off in front of the class!” Chairman Chen explained, “The moment I touched his shoulder bone, I knew his appearance was fake!”
Chen Ye immediately remembered that when he disguised himself as Long Aotian and met his father for the first time, his father came up and patted him on the shoulder…
Originally thought it was Chairman Chen being warm. As a result, it was actually to probe him!
Wow! Dad, you’re such a straightforward guy with big eyebrows and big eyes, but you’ve got a lot of cunning, huh?
But of course without cunningness, how could he become the branch chairman?
At this moment, Chen Ye admired Chairman Chen. Since Dad knew that Long Aotian’s appearance was fake, he probably also looked up Long Aotian’s name, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately preempted, “I already knew. I also know that he wasn’t originally called Long Aotian. He wanted to completely forget the past and start over, so he planned to change his appearance and live as someone else.”
“You know this?” Chairman Chen was surprised.
“Yes!” Chen Ye nodded solemnly, “Your son isn’t stupid. How could an ordinary person choose a name like Long Aotian?”
This left Chairman Chen speechless. Originally thought that Long Aotian approached his son under false pretences for some ulterior motive.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ye actually knew. So, Chairman Chen couldn’t guess Long Aotian’s true purpose now.
At least for now, it seemed like he came to help. Not necessarily a bad person.
After thinking about it, Chairman Chen added, “In that case, don’t rush back to school tomorrow. Let your friend come over at noon for lunch. I want to see his real appearance.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye suddenly broke out in a sweat. His real appearance, you’re looking at it right now!
If Chairman Chen finds out that Long Aotian is actually his own son, he might explode, right?
Chen Ye quickly said, “Dad, he’s already gone back, saying he’s preparing to enter the secret realm to fight. We’ll talk next time when there’s a chance!”
“Okay…”
Chairman Chen felt a bit regretful, suddenly recalling something, pointing at Chen Ye, and scolding:
“Look at him, so young, and he’s already a 4+ expert. Probably won’t be long before he becomes a fifth-tier powerhouse!”
“What about you?”
“I heard from your teacher that you only got 150 points of potential in the secret realm with the help of the Tang family girl. And because you’re afraid of pain, you’ve put it all into physique?”
“You little brat, what kind of mess are you doing?!”
Chen Ye: …
Being lectured by his own father, using his own actions as an example, what kind of experience is that? And—
Damn it, Old Liu, actually talking bad about him to his parents?
