Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 75
Chapter 75: Return; This Guy is Ruthless!
Several hours later, the time for this instance ended. Two golden lights descended from the sky directly into the police station. All the new students in the city witnessed the dazzling golden lights, almost blinding everyone.
Then, everyone received a notification from the instance:
[Additional rewards for this instance: Chen Ye, Tang Zichen. From Xia Country…]
Upon hearing these familiar names, everyone’s emotions were complicated. It’s these two again!
Could it be that all the people in their group would have to live under the shadow of these two in the future?
Tang Zichen is understandable. With her S2 talent, she is indeed a genius, favoured by the heavens, stronger than them, and deserves the honour.
But what about that guy named Chen Ye? Is it just because he looks good?
Many new students who considered themselves not bad-looking expressed their discontent!
Whether they accepted it or not, they all had to leave now. They wouldn’t be allowed to stay overnight in the second instance. Almost in the next moment, all the new students were transported back.
In the police station, Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were bathed in golden light. What surprised Chen Ye was that this golden light actually had a healing effect?
Originally, both he and Tang Zichen had taken the special medicine, but even though the medicine successfully neutralised the toxins in their bodies, some post-infection symptoms did not disappear so quickly.
For example, Tang Zichen had been running a low fever and coughing.
Unexpectedly, under the golden light’s illumination, the negative symptoms caused by the use of toxins disappeared rapidly.
Chen Ye glanced at Tang Zichen and noticed that the girl also looked somewhat surprised.
Apparently, just like him, Tang Zichen had also been restored by the golden light.
At this moment, Chen Ye finally understood that the appearance of the golden light was not to broadcast their achievements but to heal the negative conditions on their bodies, allowing them to leave the instance healthy. This should be considered an extra reward!
However, few people who received extra rewards in the past knew that the golden light also had a healing effect. So, Old Liu never mentioned it to them.
Outside, it was already 10:49 PM in Xia Country.
To allow the returning students to see the light and feel the warmth from the school, the school leaders had set up several large lights on the playground during the day.
Now that the lights were on, the entire playground was illuminated. The cafeteria was still open, brightly lit, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the students.
On the playground, the school leaders were present. The reason they attached such importance to this was that they were not at ease. The dangers in the second instance were much greater than in the first instance.
And Tang Zichen had chosen Chen Ye as her teammate.
Since yesterday, when Tang Zichen had asked Old Liu to pass on a message to them, the leaders already knew that they couldn’t influence Tang Zichen’s choice.
Now, all they hoped for was that Tang Zichen could come back alive.
As for the results in the instance, they were no longer important.
The next moment, at 22:50, many students’ figures suddenly appeared on the empty playground. It seemed that the number of returning students hadn’t decreased much, which slightly relieved the leaders.
However, among them, there was a student whose entire arm was missing, and fresh blood was spurting out, looking somewhat terrifying.
In addition, the figures of Tang Zichen and Chen Ye were nowhere to be found…
Suddenly, the expressions of the leaders turned grim.
“Chen Kai!”
Old Liu suddenly exclaimed, rushing to the student named Chen Kai, whose arm was missing.
“What happened to your hand?”
Others also looked at Chen Kai in surprise.
This guy was ruthless!
They all knew how formidable the zombie monsters were in the second instance. Once scratched, they would immediately be infected with toxins. The toxins could invade the brain in 12 seconds, making it difficult to survive.
In other words, when Chen Kai was scratched by the zombie monsters, he directly chose to sever his arm to survive and prevent the toxins from spreading throughout his body.
Even a slight hesitation could have cost him his life.
Who among them could be so decisive? Who had such courage?
“Alright, teacher, I know. I slacked off a bit in the last half hour and was accidentally scratched by a zombie monster. So, I severed my arm, and that’s why I ended up like this.”
Upon hearing Chen Kai’s explanation, everyone was somewhat surprised.
This guy was ruthless!
They all knew how dangerous the zombie monsters were in the second instance. Once scratched, they would be immediately infected with toxins, and the toxins would invade the brain in 12 seconds. At that time, even immortals couldn’t save them.
In this regard, Chen Kai should have been scratched by the zombie monster and immediately chose to sever his arm to prevent the toxins from spreading throughout his body.
Even a slight hesitation in such a situation would have made it impossible for him to come back.
In the eyes of the people present, who could be so decisive? Who had such courage?
“Good, teacher knows. You did well…” Old Liu anxiously said, “Quick, quick, quick, go to the infirmary to stop the bleeding, and then go to the hospital!”
Soon, Chen Kai left the scene and went to the infirmary.
Watching Chen Kai’s back, everyone admired him but also felt sympathy.
Although robotic prosthetic technology was very advanced now, people with prosthetics could live a normal life. However, prosthetics were still prosthetics, unable to replace native tissues.
Especially for ability users, hands and feet were particularly important.
To put it bluntly, Chen Kai might be disabled. If he could survive the third instance and return to an ordinary life, it would be his best choice.
Of course, compared to those students who would be forever stuck in the instances, Chen Kai was already considered lucky.
At least, he came back alive…
Old Liu counted.
This time, among the returning students, including Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, there were three fewer people in total.
Considering the elimination rate, this result was very good.
But, Tang Zichen was the most important one.
To put it bluntly, as long as Tang Zichen didn’t come back, even if all the other students came back, it would be considered a failure in the eyes of the leaders.
“Do any of you… have you seen Tang Zichen and Chen Ye?” Old Liu couldn’t help asking.
After asking, his mood became extremely uneasy.
The leaders were the same. If Tang Zichen didn’t come back, there were only two possibilities. Either she died, or she became god-like!
In the dangerous second instance, with Chen Ye as a teammate, it didn’t look like they could become god-like…
“Teacher, don’t worry. Just like last time, Captain and the others are enjoying the golden light bath. They should be out soon,” A student said.
Hearing this, Old Liu was first stunned, then couldn’t help showing a happy expression.
The leaders were even more ecstatic!
Vice Principal Zhang directly stepped forward and asked, “This student, did you just mean that Tang Zichen received additional rewards again?”
“Yes!”
The student, both envious and admiring, said, “The Captain is really amazing. She got additional rewards for the second time in a row. The most important thing is that she brought Chen Ye along…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Zichen and Chen Ye’s figures appeared on the playground.
