Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Chairman Chen’s Determination
The next day.
In the morning.
Chen Ye woke up after nine o’clock.
Today, the new students didn’t have classes. Lao Liu gave them a day off to rest and adjust.
The dormitory was quiet. Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong were not around; Chen Ye didn’t know where they had gone.
Instead of getting up immediately, Chen Ye picked up his phone to check if he had made headlines again.
He opened the news website and sure enough there were many news articles related to him on the trending list.
[“Congratulations! Our country’s student achieves outstanding results again”]
This was the top trending news.
It was even published by an official newspaper.
It talked about Tang Zichen, who received extra rewards in the second secret realm.
The wording of the article praised Tang Zichen extensively, even directly praising her as the hope of humanity!
As Tang Zichen’s teammate, Chen Ye was also fortunate enough to be mentioned in passing in the news.
Contrary to the news, however, most of the netizens’ focus this time was on Chen Ye…
“Congratulations to Goddess Tang for achieving outstanding results again!”
“Goddess Tang is amazing! Has she already surpassed Qin Daolao at the same stage? I remember Qin Daolao didn’t get any extra rewards in the second secret realm.”
“I’m so happy to see such good news early in the morning. My goddess is truly amazing.”
“Heh, your goddess has been stolen by a pig!”
“Shut up, my goddess won’t be stolen by a pig. She’s just temporarily cooperating with that person.”
“Brother, don’t delude yourself. You don’t even believe that yourself, do you? If she’s looking for someone to cooperate with, Tang Zichen obviously has many more excellent options…”
“Speaking of that pig… the guy named Chen Ye, Chairman Chen’s son, is really enviable! I wonder what Tang Goddess is thinking, choosing him as a teammate again? And, he even managed to get extra rewards again, truly amazing!”
“This girl named Tang Zichen is indeed powerful, she can even soar continuously with a pig, but her judgment is not that great.”
“Chairman Chen’s son must have gained a lot of potential points again this time, right? I wonder which attribute he will add them to?”
“No need to ask? It must be a physique attribute!”
“Awesome! If this guy keeps following Tang Zichen and keeps getting potential points, adding them all to physique attributes, will he become an invincible monster in the future?”
“What’s the use? It’s better to be an esper who matches the S8 hero talent.”
“Tang Goddess, can you open your eyes? Can you find someone else to team up with? I’m even stronger than him!”
…
The banter of netizens, Chen Ye didn’t take it to heart.
However, the netizens did remind him…
Should he continue to add potential to his mental attribute this time?
Then, Chen Ye opened his attribute panel:
Name: Chen Ye.
Physique: 595.
Mental: 161.
Strength: 597.
Agility: 597.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
Assignable Potential: 160.
…
This was Chen Ye’s current attributes. During this period, even though he was a bit busy, he never stopped exercising.
In addition, compared to the reward limit of the first secret realm, the extra rewards in the second secret realm increased by 10 points, reaching 160 points.
Just as Chen Ye was considering how to allocate these 160 potential points.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The caller ID read “Chairman Chen.”
Chen Ye was taken aback for a moment, then chose to answer.
“Dad?”
“Chen Ye, I saw the news… How many potential points did you get this time in the secret realm?”
“Um! 160 points.”
Upon hearing 160 points, Chairman Chen on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised.
It seemed that Tang Zichen, that girl, not only got extra rewards, but also maximized the rewards!
“Good! Good…”
Chairman Chen sounded a bit excited, then quickly asked, “Chen Ye, you haven’t used these potential points yet, right?”
“No.”
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s answer, Chairman Chen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“As long as you haven’t used them… Chen Ye, keep these 160 potential points untouched for now, understand?”
“Why?”
“Don’t ask too much, in any case, your old man won’t harm you.”
The less Chairman Chen said, the more curious Chen Ye became.
After thinking about it, Chen Ye asked, “What about the third secret realm? If I don’t use these potential points, what if something happens in the secret realm?”
“Don’t jinx it! The third secret realm isn’t that difficult. As long as you stick with that girl from the Tang family honestly, there shouldn’t be a problem with survival… Anyway, don’t touch those 160 potential points for now… Also, don’t mess with the potential you get from the third secret realm. Wait for my message.”
After Chairman Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Listening to the dial tone coming from the phone, Chen Ye frowned deeply.
His intuition told him that his old man was definitely going to do something big for him, something that would affect his destiny in a big way.
But since his dad didn’t want to say, it gave him a headache.
Chen Ye decided that in order to prevent Chairman Chen from doing something foolish for him, he would tell his dad the truth and ask him not to take risks for him.
Just as he picked up the phone. Suddenly, the phone rang again.
Usually, hardly anyone called him, but today, it seemed like there were non-stop calls.
This time, it was his teacher, Liu Zhenjiang. Chen Ye answered the call.
Immediately, there was the energetic voice of Lao Liu on the other end of the phone:
“Chen Ye, did I disturb your sleep?”
“No! Lao Liu, do you need something?”
“There’s something I want to ask you. You haven’t used the potential points you obtained in the second secret realm yet, right?”
“No, why?”
“That’s good. Don’t use them for now, wait for the teacher’s notice!”
“???”
What’s going on?
Why did they all tell him not to use the potential points?
“Lao Liu, why?” Chen Ye asked hastily.
Lao Liu didn’t seem to want to explain the reason either and said, “Don’t ask so much. Anyway, keep the potential points for now, wait for my message, you won’t have to wait too long.”
Wow, are they all like this?
Chen Ye felt unhappy, and immediately said, “Teacher, if you don’t say, I’ll just add them all to my physique attribute.”
“You…”
Lao Liu wasn’t angry, but said helplessly, “This matter is still confidential for now…”
“Don’t worry, Teacher, I’m the most tight-lipped person.”
“Then go to a more secluded place to talk.”
Chen Ye, upon hearing this, immediately got up, quickly ran to the small forest behind the dormitory building.
