Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 8
Chapter 8: Stirring Up the Country
Back in the room, Chen Ye locked the door and with a thought…
The next moment, an attribute panel popped up in his left eye.
– Name: Chen Ye
– Physique: 7
– Spirit: 11
– Strength: 9
– Agility: 9
– Talent: Saitama Physique
Every successfully awakened hero has such an attribute panel, visible only to themselves. Seeing the “Talent” section, Chen Ye was overjoyed. The Saitama Physique might be considered useless by others, but he knew how terrifying it truly was!
Thinking about being invincible in three years, Chen Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
He then noticed that the body’s attributes were a bit low, especially the physique, which was only 7 points, causing him to furrow his brow.
The average attributes for a normal adult are around 10 points each. A 7-point physique is definitely abnormal.
“This little guy must be weak; that’s why the physique is affected!”
He couldn’t help but mock the previous owner silently. However, with the Saitama Physique, it would be easy to fix this weakened body.
At that moment, a message tone interrupted his thoughts:
“Little puppy, have you suffered some setbacks? Do you want Sister Qing to comfort you tonight?”
The sender was noted as “Sister Qing.” Memories of Sister Qing immediately flooded Chen Ye’s mind. She was the mature woman, a friend of his mother and business partner.
Upon seeing the message, Chen Ye’s face showed a hint of interest.
“Alright, tonight at your place…”
Almost involuntarily, a reply was sent from Chen Ye’s hands. Soon, a response came:
“I thought you, this little XX, had some setbacks, feeling down and chose a trash hero talent. Now it seems you’re doing well. I was just teasing you. Sister is still out of town for a while.”
Seeing this message, Chen Ye felt a bit regretful.
“When you come back, I’ll give you a welcome home gift.”
“Where to give you a welcome gift? In my bathtub or on the sofa?”
In Chen Ye’s mind, some inappropriate images surfaced, and his blood started flowing in a particular direction. He couldn’t help but sigh, realising that mature women were indeed different from young girls.
Just as he was about to reply, a commotion downstairs caught his attention:
“Where’s that little beast?”
This was a middle-aged man’s voice, full of vigour, roaring like an angry lion. Chen Ye felt like the floor was shaking.
However, he remained calm because the memories in his mind revealed that his father was a typical wife-controlled husband.
Soon, Mother Yang Rongzhi’s voice rang out: “Why are you shouting so loudly? Don’t disturb my son’s rest!”
Although her voice wasn’t as penetrating as Chen’s father’s, her momentum was clearly superior. Chen’s father seemed frustrated and said:
“He still has the face to rest? Look at what he did. He chose a useless hero talent, even on live broadcasts. He’s disgraced our family!”
“Is it more important to you, Chen Hui Chang, or to our son’s well-being? He’s already under great pressure. If you provoke him, and he does something drastic, I won’t live either!”
These words silenced Chen’s father, who helplessly said, “You indulge him! Even if my face is not important, he chose a useless hero talent, affecting his own future. Now no school dares to take him. Let’s see how he handles it!”
“Is your face more important, or is our son’s future more important? If you can’t handle it, I’ll take care of our son!”
…
In terms of strength, Chen’s father was renowned nationwide. His “Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist” struck fear into enemies. However, in a quarrel, he was no match for Yang Rongzhi, who dominated the conversation.
Soon, the arguing sounds faded, and Chen Ye couldn’t hear them anymore. He smiled, not concerned at all. As for his father’s concern about the future, Chen Ye was even less worried.
Time would prove everything.
Later, Chen Ye sat on the sofa and took out his phone to browse the internet. He was curious about how netizens were commenting on him.
As soon as he opened the webpage, he found himself on the trending news!
“Shocking! In 2029, someone still chose a C-level hero talent?”
The title left Chen Ye speechless.
“I remember, it’s been less than two hours since I awakened at school. How did I make it to the trending news so quickly?”
Opening the link, he saw several videos from self-media outlets, showing the process of him awakening as a hero. In the videos, he also saw his teacher fainting at the end.
Unfortunately, that was the reality!
Below the videos were countless comments from netizens:
“This guy is awesome! He actually chose a C-level hero talent during the live broadcast.”
“It’s hard to understand. Isn’t a C-level hero confirmed to be useless? What’s the point even if he successfully awakens?”
“I suspect this guy did it on purpose, aiming to become famous as an internet celebrity and make money. Now that he’s famous, he’s achieved his goal.”
“Hey, the guy upstairs, you’ve misunderstood. This guy comes from a big background. He doesn’t need to resort to such means to earn money. His father is Chen Hui Chang, the chairman of the Qian’an Province Branch!”
“Damn, Chen Hui Chang’s son? Is this real?”
“Impossible, right? Chen Hui Chang’s son doing such a stupid thing? Doesn’t his father stop him?”
“Everyone says a tiger father will not have a dog son, but it’s not always true!”
…
Chen Ye read several news articles from different self-media outlets. Whenever someone revealed his identity, discussions about his father quickly took over.
It seemed like his father’s reputation was more well-known, but the name “Chen Ye” had become famous nationwide as well, making him a well-known foolish individual.
