Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 80
Chapter 80: Leader Takes Flight, Get on Board Quickly!
After introducing some relatively powerful monsters.
Lao Liu also introduced some weaker monsters and told everyone that if they were lucky enough to encounter them, they should just choose with their eyes closed.
“Regarding the monsters in the third secret realm, I can only introduce this much to you. Whether you encounter them or not depends on your luck.”
Upon hearing this, the students nodded silently, remembering what Lao Liu had just said.
Lao Liu mentioned earlier that the five types of monsters encountered in the third secret realm would all be different, with very little possibility of repetition.
In other words, the monsters Lao Liu just introduced are very likely ones they won’t encounter.
“After talking about the monsters, I have some good news to tell you!”
Lao Liu suddenly smiled and said, “Perhaps because the uncertainty is too high, the third secret realm allows teamwork, with a maximum limit of six people!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s spirits lifted, and they all looked towards Tang Zichen!
Everyone’s eyes were filled with strong anticipation.
Even fools knew what a limit of six people meant.
It meant that this time they also had a chance to join Tang Zichen’s fast track and be led by the leader.
Including Lao Liu, everyone looked at Tang Zichen with eager anticipation.
The implication was obvious.
They hoped that Tang Zichen would take action this time and lead their classmates.
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, Tang Zichen straightforwardly said, “There’s no need to look at me. As long as Chen Ye agrees to take people, I have no objections.”
What she said was true.
After all, she was very clear that it was Chen Ye who was leading her.
Between the two of them, Chen Ye had always been the one in charge.
Otherwise, she might not have achieved what she has now.
However.
It wasn’t seen that way by everyone.
Upon hearing Tang Zichen’s words, everyone was a bit surprised.
And then…
They admired Chen Ye to the fullest!
Even for such matters, Tang Zichen still had to seek Chen Ye’s opinion. What did that mean? It meant that Chen Ye was truly awesome, he had a way of “handling his wife”!
Before long, everyone’s burning gazes shifted to Chen Ye.
In any case, since Tang Zichen had said so, they had to ask Chen Ye.
Some people were even thinking that after class, they would bring Chen Ye something…
…
Under the gaze of so many expectant eyes.
Chen Ye felt a headache.
He hadn’t expected Tang Zichen to so decisively pass the buck to him.
As for taking classmates, of course he had no objections.
Especially for such a secret realm where you could choose your own monsters, with Chen Ye’s understanding of monsters, he could easily find the weakest one among the five types of monsters.
By then, he could just let his classmates be the cannon fodder, helping him kill monsters and obtain additional rewards again!
Most importantly, since the secret realm had introduced team cooperation, there must be a reason for it.
If Chen Ye refused at this time, it would seem too petty of him.
After all, they were all classmates.
There was no need for that.
“It’s rare to have such a good opportunity. I warmly welcome classmates to join our team. Since we are classmates, I hope everyone can help each other… As for specific personnel, let the teacher arrange it!”
He said it beautifully!
And.
He passed the buck to Lao Liu.
Whoever wants to get on the bus, go find Lao Liu!
Lao Liu, who was forced to pick up the mess, was not unhappy, but rather very happy.
“Well said!”
Lao Liu clapped happily and was very satisfied with Chen Ye.
The other students were also very happy. Even though many of them knew they couldn’t get on the bus, when they looked at Chen Ye, their gaze became much kinder.
Afterwards, the students turned their gaze to the teacher again, waiting for Lao Liu’s decision.
Seeing so many expectant eyes.
Lao Liu fell into thought.
In his opinion, the remaining four spots should naturally go to the students with excellent talents.
Although doing so seemed a bit biased…
But.
His main responsibility as a teacher was to cultivate useful talents for the country.
After thinking about it, Lao Liu politely asked, “Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, besides you two, there are still four spots left… Do you have any recommended candidates?”
Tang Zichen remained silent.
That meant she had none.
As the class monitor, she had always been treated specially by the school, living alone in a dormitory. Except for Chen Ye, her relationship with all the other classmates was the same.
Letting her recommend candidates, for a moment, she really didn’t know who to recommend.
Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, “Teacher, I want to recommend two spots, Lu Yong and Zhao Zheng.”
These two were his roommates.
They usually brought him breakfast and supper without any complaints.
Especially Zhao Zheng.
Chen Ye quite appreciated his character. He was diligent, talented, and Chen Ye even wanted to introduce him to the chairman as a disciple.
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s words, Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong immediately showed happy smiles.
Lu Yong was even more excited, his face turning red with excitement, as if he wanted to kowtow to Chen Ye on the spot!
On the podium.
Lao Liu paused slightly when he heard Chen Ye’s words.
He agreed with Chen Ye’s recommendation of Zhao Zheng. Among the students, Zhao Zheng had the best talent besides Tang Zichen.
But as for Lu Yong…
After some consideration, Lao Liu still didn’t refuse. “Okay, then it’s Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong. There are still two spots left. If Tang Zichen, you don’t have any recommended candidates… then I’ll suggest a few, and let everyone vote! Yan Kai, Fang Zhihua, Cao Yu, Ren Qianqian…”
These were all students with S-level talents, and they were among the top students with S-level talents.
After speaking, Lao Liu sighed, “I know what I’m doing is unfair to the remaining students. If you want to blame anyone, blame me!”
The students fell silent.
They could actually understand Lao Liu’s choice.
There was nothing to say when one’s talent was inferior.
…
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Only two or three days left until the agreed moving date.
Many people had already started packing their things.
Even the school was bustling, with so many things to prepare, they were planning to send a batch to the Magic City campus first.
On this day.
Just after class, Lao Liu was suddenly called to the meeting room by Deputy Principal Zhang.
Seeing Deputy Principal Zhang and several important leaders there, Lao Liu’s heart skipped a beat.
Every time there was such a lineup, there was definitely no good news!
“Teacher Liu, has your class been smooth lately?”
“Smooth.”
“What about you? Have you encountered any difficulties at work? You can tell me.”
“…Principal, please just say it!”
“Alright then! This is a document from above, you take a look first.”
Deputy Principal Zhang handed over a document to Lao Liu.
Lao Liu took it with suspicion, and his face changed as soon as he read the contents of the document. The document was directly issued by the Central Ministry of Education, requesting Wu University to cooperate with Jin University to jointly organize a freshman exchange event in the third secret realm to achieve good results.
It sounded grand.
But in reality.
The meaning was very simple: they wanted the three spots that Tang Zichen’s team had secured to be given to students from Jin University.
It seemed that after obtaining additional rewards from the secret realm twice in a row, Tang Zichen’s reputation had spread far and wide, and even prestigious universities like Jin University were trying to take advantage of it.
“Why should we?” Lao Liu instantly became angry. “Tang Zichen is from our Wu University. If she wants to take anyone, it should be students from our Wu University!”
“Teacher Liu, don’t be so quick to get angry.”
Deputy Principal Zhang sighed and said, “I know the reason. Jin University recruited a promising talent with an S5 talent this year, hoping to cultivate him well and produce another research talent for the country. However, in the past two secret realms, this S5 talented student from Jin University did not achieve good results. Even in the last secret realm, the S4 talented student from Jin University had an accident and died… If it weren’t for the wit of the S5 talented student, he would have died too, and the country would have lost a pillar.”
“Although improving mental attributes does not directly increase intelligence, those with high mental power will have much better memory, which is also very helpful for scientific research.”
“It’s because of these considerations that the higher-ups issued this document.”
Lao Liu’s face looked very unpleasant upon hearing this.
“But, Principal, Tang Zichen’s team already has all their members. For Jin University to intervene now and grab three spots, how can I explain this to my students?”
“Teacher Liu, I know it’s difficult for you…”
Deputy Principal Zhang looked very helpless. “I couldn’t stop it even if I wanted to! Do you know how many schools have been trying to send their students to join Tang Zichen’s team lately? At least dozens! I managed to stop those I could. But as for Jin University, I really couldn’t stop them… Last night, Minister Li called me for two hours straight, trying to persuade me. What can I do? What else can I do?”
“What about President Lu’s opinion?”
“President Lu’s phone has been off for several days, I can’t reach him…”
When President Lu was mentioned, Deputy Principal Zhang’s face was filled with resentment.
He now suspected that President Lu deliberately didn’t get rid of him, leaving him an opportunity, and had probably anticipated the current situation long ago, letting him be the scapegoat!
Lao Liu thought for a moment with an unpleasant expression before saying, “Principal, I still can’t open this mouth. I’ll call the students over, and you can talk to them!”
Close to four thousand words, not counting the catch-up from yesterday, I still owe you a chapter, and it will be repaid the day after tomorrow (Monday). By the way, I recommend a friend’s book (Enduring Immortality in the Sky Prison), a story of time travel to ancient times, becoming a prison guard in the sky prison, and gaining the talent of enduring immortality. Lu Chen decided to endure, cultivate for hundreds of years first.
