Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Someone Intentionally Stirring Trouble?
In this world, hospitals don’t have toxin samples. Usually, they are kept at the Disease Control Center or in research facilities.
After getting out of the car, Chen Ye didn’t go directly to the Disease Control Center. Instead, he went to the nearby bank and withdrew two hundred thousand in cash (no appointment needed).
There was no other way; the other party demanded cash transactions.
Later, Chen Ye found a place to transform into the appearance of Long Aotian before meeting the physician. If something went wrong…
Of course, it would all be attributed to Long Aotian! What does it have to do with Chen Huizhang’s obedient son?
A moment later, when Chen Ye returned to school, he had an extra box in his hands.
Inside the box were the toxin samples he wanted, a total of three, each with three doses of antidote.
This toxin can be transmitted through the air and causes fever symptoms similar to influenza. The most important thing is that the symptoms of this toxin appear very quickly. Once infected, fever develops within half an hour.
Generally, toxins with fast onset symptoms are quite potent.
Fortunately, there is a specific antidote for this toxin, which is taken orally.
After all, in this world where there are gifted individuals like Child Emperor, who can invent city walls and exoskeleton armour, developing an antidote for toxins is not surprising.
Previously, Chen Ye searched online for a long time and finally found that only this toxin met his requirements!
Fast-acting symptoms, not too severe, and there’s an antidote.
In fact, if infected with this toxin and without the antidote, a normal person can still recover relying on their own immune system. It just takes a bit longer, maybe several days.
However, you can only stay in the No. 2 Secret Realm for 12 hours. If Chen Ye comes out and the toxin is still active, causing a large-scale infection, it would be bad.
The antidote can help patients neutralise the toxin within an hour.

In the meantime, another week passed.
Today was the last day of August, and tomorrow is the day the secret realm opens.
At noon, after Chen Ye finished his meal in the cafeteria, he received a message from Tang Zichen.
Tang Zichen: [Are you free? I want to talk to you about the No. 2 Secret Realm.]
Chen Ye: [Sure.]
Tang Zichen: [Let’s meet in the small forest. I’ll be waiting for you there.]
Chen Ye: “…”
Why does this girl like hanging out in the small forest so much?
As he walked towards the small forest, Chen Ye also considered not using the toxin and relying on his own strength to pass through the No. 2 Secret Realm.
With his current strength, it should be no problem.
Even if he were surrounded by a horde of zombies, he could still break through.
However, wouldn’t it be foolish not to use the cheat and instead risk it with his strength?
What if he accidentally gets infected with the zombie toxin?
So, the idea of ??using brute force to pass the Secret Realm came to mind but was quickly discarded by Chen Ye. Such risky behaviour didn’t suit his character.
A moment later, Chen Ye met Tang Zichen in the small forest.
She came prepared and brought a map.
As soon as they met, she spread out the map and asked, “Chen Ye, since we’ll enter the secret realm tomorrow, do you have any preferences for the relatively safe spots Teacher mentioned? Where would you like to go?”
“Uh? I’m fine with anything. You decide.”

Meanwhile, just after finishing lunch, Teacher Liu was called into the office by Vice Principal Zhang.
When he arrived, he found several important leaders in the principal’s office.
Seeing this setup, Teacher Liu knew there was trouble.
He greeted them with a forced smile, “Hello, Principal, hello, everyone… May I know why I’ve been called here?”
Vice Principal Zhang enthusiastically welcomed him, “Please, have a seat first.”
Once Teacher Liu sat down, Vice Principal Zhang suddenly said, “Teacher Liu, your student Chen Ye, out of fear of pain, actually allocated 130 points of potential to his physical attribute?”
Teacher Liu was stunned and immediately asked, “Principal, how did you find out about this?”
He remembered not mentioning this matter to anyone outside and even specifically warned his students not to spread it.
It was only when Chen Huizhang called him last time to talk about his son that he mentioned this to him out of responsibility.
“Someone posted the video of the strength test you conducted with your students online,” Vice Principal Zhang said.
Teacher Liu was stunned again.
Testing video? That’s something only the Ability Association would have!
Moreover, the country has long established rules prohibiting the posting of videos of others’ strength tests online…
So, who did this? Do they know it’s illegal?
Teacher Liu furrowed his brow, feeling that someone was intentionally causing trouble.
Vice Principal Zhang obviously didn’t care who did it; he continued, “Teacher Liu, the online reputation is not very good right now! Netizens are mocking your student Chen Ye. This child is truly hopeless, always doing foolish things… What do you think, Teacher Liu?”
Teacher Liu didn’t quite understand Vice Principal Zhang’s meaning and straightforwardly asked, “Principal, what’s the matter? Please tell me directly!”
“It’s like this. I heard that Chen Ye is still very close to Tang Zichen? I called you here today to ask you to inquire whether Tang Zichen still wants to team up with Chen Ye for the No. 2 Secret Realm?”
Vice Principal Zhang finally stated his purpose, “If so, it’s best to stop them and advise Tang Zichen to change teammates.”
Teacher Liu remained silent for a moment and said, “Principal, according to the school regulations, I cannot interfere with students’ rights to form teams…”
“Tang Zichen’s situation is special, and it should not be confused with others!” Vice Principal Zhang patiently said, “Teacher Liu, how did you get through the 20 days of the No. 1 Secret Realm? You know very well! Do you want to go through such anxious days again?”
“Fortunately, Tang Zichen had good luck in the No. 1 Secret Realm and didn’t have any accidents. She even received additional rewards… But can you guarantee that her good luck will continue?”
“Have you considered that if Tang Zichen encounters trouble in the secret realm, we will all be forever condemned?!”
“And even if Tang Zichen remains safe this time, if teaming up with Chen Ye causes her performance to decline, how will the outside world view this? The criticism from netizens alone could be detrimental to us!”
“Tang Zichen is now a popular figure online, and such things are bound to happen.”
“Also, the principal just called me. His meaning is clear: don’t worry about his relationship with Chen Huizhang’s son; prioritise the overall situation! Tang Zichen, this child, even Beijing is paying attention to her. Her future cannot have any mistakes!”
“If Tang Zichen can become the second Qin lady in the future, think about how great it would be for our entire country, our people?”
After listening to these words…
Teacher Liu finally wavered.
“Principal, I understand. You are right. Tang Zichen is indeed the hope of the future! There can be no room for error.”
Teacher Liu said solemnly, “I will go and ask her right away.”
Vice Principal Zhang finally smiled when he heard this, “Teacher Liu, as long as you understand, that’s good… Time is of the essence. Go now! I’m waiting for your good news.”
Teacher Liu nodded and left the principal’s office with a serious expression.
Just as he returned to his dormitory, he contacted Tang Zichen.
