Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 78
Chapter 78: Ten Years? I Can Pierce Through the Solar System
Chen Ye had already made up his mind.
He was going to come clean with his parents about his strength.
He really didn’t want his parents to continue worrying about him.
President Chen and his wife were people he could absolutely trust.
However, it wasn’t the right time!
Because this time, Chen Ye was going to personally participate in the hunt for the Elemental Demon.
If he came clean with President Chen now, even if President Chen believed in his strength, for the sake of his son’s safety, he definitely wouldn’t allow him to go. Chen Ye couldn’t watch President Chen every day…
So, the best way was to use the Dragon Proud Sky persona one more time and go with President Chen.
Wait until everything was over before coming clean!
By then, he could directly reveal his true appearance in front of President Chen.
He believed President Chen would be super surprised to see him!
Thinking of this, Chen Ye asked, “Dad, when do you plan to leave?”
“Why ask this? Do you want to see me off? Bad luck!”
“No… do you remember my friend? Dragon Proud Sky! I want to invite him to go with you, to help you. The primal forest in Daxing is so vast, you probably need manpower, right?”
“Dragon Proud Sky? His strength is indeed good… But, is he willing to come for such a dangerous task?”
“It should be fine, he’s a bit short on money now, just give him some money, not too much, a few tens of thousands will do.”
Tens of thousands of yuan wasn’t much for President Chen’s wealth.
Of course, the idea of Dragon Proud Sky needing money was just something Chen Ye proposed to increase persuasiveness.
If Chen Ye said Dragon Proud Sky could go help for free, President Chen would suspect Dragon Proud Sky had ulterior motives and might refuse.
“Alright, you can invite him to try… As for the departure time, I can’t say for sure yet. We have to wait until we figure out the whereabouts of the Elemental Demon on that end before I can go.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye’s eyes slightly lit up.
Delaying for a while was just what he wanted.
The longer it dragged on, the stronger he became!
“Okay, I’ll contact him later.”
“Well! If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up!”
“Don’t rush!”
“Is there anything else?”
“Dad, I want to ask, is it difficult to practice martial arts?”
If it wasn’t difficult to learn, Chen Ye didn’t mind acquiring another skill.
Anyway, now that he was practicing the Saitama Training Method, it was getting easier, and he had a lot of free time every day.
“Why? You want to learn martial arts? Not to discourage you, but without the S3 talent, practicing martial arts is just a waste of time. It’s impossible to cultivate Dark Jin in a lifetime. Besides, the hardships of practicing martial arts are not something ordinary people can endure. Winter training in the bitter cold, summer training in the scorching heat… I practiced bitterly for more than ten years before cultivating Gang Jin, and that’s because I have the S3 talent.”
“Of course, if you really want to practice, I can teach you. It’s good to master another fighting skill.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye immediately dispelled the idea of learning martial arts.
With more than ten years ahead of him, he would pierce through the solar system, so what’s the point of learning martial arts?
“Never mind… Dad, you go busy yourself, goodbye!”
…
When Chen Ye returned to the dormitory,
Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong had already returned.
Breakfast was still on his table.
“Don’t just stare, it’s for you, hurry up and eat!” Zhao Zheng said, “After you finish, if you have time, let’s go to the hospital together to see Chen Kai. The other classmates have already been there.”
Chen Ye had already heard about Chen Kai’s situation.
He greatly admired Chen Kai’s decisiveness; he was a tough guy!
If it were him, Chen Ye, after being scratched by a zombie, he might not have the courage to cut off his arm for survival.
Of course, Chen Ye wouldn’t object to Zhao Zheng’s suggestion to visit Chen Kai.
They were classmates, and in the face of such an incident, it was only right to visit.
Speaking of which, the two of them shared the same surname!
The next day.
As usual.
Old Liu was preparing to take everyone to test their strength.
This time, Chen Ye chose to politely decline, and Old Liu agreed.
After all, in Old Liu’s opinion, Chen Ye’s potential points were left untouched, and without using them, his strength wouldn’t change regardless of whether he tested or not.
In reality.
Chen Ye had already allocated all 160 potential points to his mental attribute yesterday.
After learning that there were creatures like Elemental Demons in this world, he had more reason to increase his mental power.
After all, the other three basic attributes could be infinitely increased through training.
The potential gained in the secret realm was used to stack mental attributes.
By then, he could play with some superpowers.
Of course, his main profession was still the Invincible Bald Head; this wouldn’t change.
Superpowers were just for him to experience what it felt like to be a mage.
…
Although Chen Ye didn’t need to test his strength,
Old Liu still let him go along.
This time’s strength test saw many students greatly improve, almost all of them advancing by one rank.
Tang Zichen successfully obtained the evaluation of a third-tier expert!
With an additional 160 attribute points, she could even use telekinesis to propel herself and briefly glide in mid-air.
Of course, she still had a long way to go to reach the fourth tier.
Starting from the third tier, the higher the level, the more difficult it was to obtain the evaluation, because the requirements increased several times.
What surprised Chen Ye was that Zhao Zheng, this guy, gained more than 70 potential points in the No. 2 secret realm this time, greatly enhancing his strength, steadily stepping into the second tier, catching up.
His path was similar to President Chen’s, also following the martial arts route.
Chen Ye believed that when he cultivated Dark Jin, his strength would increase significantly, reaching the third tier!
In the afternoon.
Classes began.
The students gathered once again.
With the ringing of the bell, Old Liu walked into the classroom with a smile.
“Before class, I have two things to tell everyone.”
“First, just received a notice that the protective wall in Magic City has been repaired. We will move back to the new campus in Magic City in ten days. You won’t have to complain about the dormitories being crowded anymore.”
Upon hearing this, the students showed happy expressions.
Although the old campus was nice, many facilities were old, and there weren’t many dormitories. Every time you needed to use the restroom or take a shower, you had to queue up, which was inconvenient overall.
“Secondly, there are two and a half months left until the annual National Freshman Exchange Competition!”
“As for the rewards for the championship team in the Freshman Exchange Competition, I believe everyone knows. Let me reiterate here: each member of the championship team will receive a cash prize of one hundred thousand yuan. In addition to this, there are other material rewards, all of which are excellent items.”
“Our class has Tang Zichen, our class president, participating this time. The championship is almost guaranteed!”
At these words, the eyes of the crowd lit up.
Not everyone in this class was as privileged as Chen Ye, coming from wealthy backgrounds.
At least half of them came from less fortunate families.
A hundred thousand yuan prize would be a huge sum for these students.
For a moment, most students showed hopeful expressions.
Because what Old Liu said was true, with Tang Zichen’s current strength, even if she went alone, she could sweep through the teams of other schools.
Old Liu continued, “However, each school only has seven spots. Five regular team members and two substitutes… So, most of you won’t be able to go.”
“In the spirit of fairness, two and a half months from now, whoever has the strongest strength, the teacher will let them go.”
“So, those of you who want to participate in the Freshman Exchange Competition, the No. 3 secret realm is your last chance to enhance your strength!”
“Students who are temporarily behind in strength, you need to perform well!”
“Of course, safety comes first, don’t be reckless!”
“Oh damn! The author’s brain just glitched out suddenly. The cool point I had planned for the No. 3 secret realm also seemed unreasonable. I need to rethink and rearrange it… For the sake of the quality of this book, please let the author think it through…”
