Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Have You Offended Someone?
Chen Ye immediately picked up his phone and searched for relevant news online.
He found that there were quite a few news outlets reporting on this matter.
These news not only informed everyone about the Elemental Demons but also explained in detail the crucial role of the crystal nucleus in the Elemental Demons’ brains. Moreover, all the locations where the Elemental Demons were discovered in these news reports were in the primitive forests of Daxing.
Chen Ye frowned.
Obviously.
This highly confidential matter had been leaked online.
At this point, it had already sparked widespread discussion among netizens, pushing the topic into the top ten trending searches.
“What kind of creature is an Elemental Demon? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Same here, if it wasn’t for seeing this trending topic, I wouldn’t have known that such magical creatures existed in the world.”
“It’s normal if you haven’t heard of it before, after all, Elemental Demons rarely appear.”
“Wow, so the crystal nucleus of an Elemental Demon can give people superpowers? Isn’t that stronger than inheriting heroic talents?!”
“Heh, don’t be misled by the news. Getting stronger isn’t that simple, you need a strong mental power to unleash the superpowers of the Elemental Demon’s crystal nucleus. The crystal nucleus is just slightly stronger than an A-rank heroic talent! It’s comparable to ordinary S-rank talents but not as good as the top few S-rank talents.”
“I remember there’s a fifth-tier powerhouse named ‘Sangami Yua’ in the Yamato country who became stronger through an Elemental Demon’s crystal nucleus, right?”
“Darn it, if the crystal nucleus of the Elemental Demon is so important, will all the world’s strong gather in our Xia country next?”
“Definitely! I remember last time when Elemental Demons appeared in Africa, it caused numerous powerhouses to fight over them, and nearby countries were devastated by the aftermath of the battles.”
“Why haven’t I heard of such a big event?”
“Back then, the internet wasn’t as developed, and the authorities deliberately didn’t report such matters. Of course, you wouldn’t have heard of it. If it weren’t for me being overseas at the time, I wouldn’t have known about it.”
…
Netizens were discussing fervently.
Many people were learning about the existence of Elemental Demons for the first time, so they were quite surprised.
Of course, the netizens knew that advanced items like the Elemental Demon’s crystal nucleus were definitely not within their reach.
They didn’t even qualify to join in the excitement.
Because Daxing had already become a paradise for monsters, and without the strength of at least Tier 3 or Tier 4, going there would undoubtedly mean death.
After finishing lunch.
Chen Ye immediately dialed Chairman Chen’s phone number after parting ways with his classmates.
But the result showed that the line was busy.
He kept dialing four times before getting through.
“Dad, have you seen the hot news online?”
“I have.”
“I feel like this news is more like an organized leak. They even took the opportunity to educate everyone about Elemental Demons… Dad, have you offended someone?”
“You’re just a kid, why are you worrying about these things? Your task is to study well, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Chen Ye knew he was right.
He even remembered last time, when he came out of the first secret realm, many self-media outlets wrote articles accusing him of getting into Wu University through the back door, suggesting that Chairman Chen and President Lu had a deal…
So, Chairman Chen must have enemies.
And Chairman Chen’s enemies had both the power and background.
“Dad! Have they found the whereabouts of the Elemental Demon?”
“The primitive forest is so vast, and the Elemental Demons are very cunning. How could it be so easy to find them?”
At this point, Chairman Chen’s tone suddenly changed, “Actually, the exposure of this news isn’t entirely a bad thing. If we were to rely solely on our manpower to search, who knows when we would find them? With more people joining in now, I believe we’ll find them much faster.”
Chen Ye admired Chairman Chen’s optimism.
“Then… the competition should be intense, right? Are you confident?”
“Hmph! In our Xia country’s territory, can we let outsiders snatch it away?”
“I mean, Dad, if it’s impossible, don’t force it too much…”
“These aren’t things you should worry about!”
“And, my friend Long Autian has agreed to help me, and his strength has increased a bit, so he should be able to help you… Dad, when there’s news, remember to bring him along when you set off!”
“Alright, I got it!”
The call ended.
Chen Ye still frowned.
The news of Elemental Demons being exposed would undoubtedly attract the interest of various forces worldwide.
After all, a crystal nucleus of an Elemental Demon could create a Tier 5 powerhouse.
It probably wouldn’t be long before chaos erupted in Daxing.
Now, Chen Ye just hoped that the Elemental Demons would appear later, allowing him to become stronger…
He had already made up his mind that if the situation didn’t seem right, and there were too many contenders, he would take Chairman Chen and leave without competing.
After all, whether or not there was an Elemental Demon’s crystal nucleus wouldn’t have much impact on him.
With this mindset, Chen Ye felt much more relaxed.
What the netizens said was right!
As long as you lay low and act like a loser, you’ll be invincible.
Contentment leads to strength!
…
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye.
Another half month passed.
According to incomplete statistics from the immigration department, in this half month, the number of “tourists” entering the country from abroad had surged by tens of thousands, and many of them were powerhouses, with quite a few being Tier 5 big shots.
And these were just the people who entered through formal channels.
As for those who smuggled in, it was impossible to calculate.
And the goal of these people, any fool could guess, was for the Elemental Demons.
After arriving in Xia country, they hardly stayed and went straight to Daxing.
There were exceptions, of course.
For example, among the group that arrived today, many of them, after getting off the plane, mingled into the bustling urban areas of the Magic Capital.
The post-war reconstruction of the Magic Capital was still quite chaotic, providing these people with an opportunity to exploit loopholes.
That night.
These people gathered in a secret location to discuss their plans for the future.
“Mr. Wick, I didn’t expect you to be sent here by the higher-ups to execute this plan.”
“The company attaches great importance to this plan, and the elders of the Holy Table don’t want to hear about any failure.”
“Please rest assured, everything has been arranged… Speaking of which, the news of the Elemental Demons appearing in Xia country has really helped us a lot and made all our preparations go smoothly.”
“Very well. What about that Xia country woman?”
“The school is under martial law, and she can’t come to receive your instructions.”
…
The next day.
In the morning.
Thirty freshmen from Wu University gathered together.
Today was the day the third secret realm would open…
Previously, at the old campus, before being transported into the secret realm, everyone had to stand on the playground under the scorching sun.
Because the old campus lacked space.
But now things were different!
The new campus was spacious enough, with plenty of indoor space.
At this moment, thirty Wu University freshmen, including Zhao Huanhuan, were gathered in a warehouse the size of a basketball court.
The interior was not only cleaned very neatly but also furnished with many long sofas for the students to sit on while waiting for transportation.
Chen Ye and his friends were sitting on one of the sofas.
On the far left was Zhao Zheng, followed by Cao Yu, then Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, Zhao Huanhuan, Ren Qianqian…
Everyone held hands, waiting to enter the secret realm.
When 10:50 a.m. arrived, all the students sitting on the sofa disappeared without a trace.
Regarding the update frequency, it’s not that I don’t want to update more, but it’s mainly because it’s the beginning of a new book period, and I need to rely on recommendations. Once this book is published, as long as there are subscriptions, I, the humble author, will update diligently until my last breath!!
An additional chapter today, and two more tonight.
