Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 84
Chapter 84: Choosing Purple Yam Spirit at the Beginning?
When everyone regained their sight,
they found themselves in an illusory space.
All around them were colorful lights, appearing dazzling and dreamlike, as if they were in a dream.
Then,
before everyone appeared five pitch-black passages, deep and dangerous. Beside each passage, there was a map and images of monsters for everyone to choose from.
Seeing those monsters, Chen Ye looked surprised.
Because he recognized all five types of monsters.
There was the Abomination from “World of Warcraft.”
There was the Predaking from “Transformers.”
There was a demon from “Demon Slayer.”
…
No wonder the monsters in the secret realm were endless.
If the secret realm really included many monsters from movies, animations, and games of the previous Earth, then there were indeed countless monsters.
What surprised Chen Ye the most was when he saw the fourth monster, which turned out to be a well-known villain from a certain American comic: Purple Yam Spirit!
That man who snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the universe’s population, known as the director of the Universal Population Control Office!
If it were a Purple Yam Spirit without gloves, Chen Ye wouldn’t be afraid.
With his current strength, dealing with an unarmored Purple Yam Spirit wouldn’t be difficult.
But the secret realm was tricky. It only showed the upper half of the Purple Yam Spirit, with its hands and feet not visible…
If this Purple Yam Spirit had the Infinity Gauntlet, then once they entered, they might not even have time to escape, right?
With just a snap of his fingers, they’d turn to dust.
Of course, this possibility was extremely slim.
The secret realm shouldn’t create buggy-like monsters to deal with newcomers like them.
“Chen Ye, which passage should we take?” Tang Zichen asked quietly.
Zhao Zheng and the others also looked at Chen Ye, waiting for his decision.
They couldn’t just stand here staring.
There was a time limit.
Old Liu had said that they only had ten minutes to consider.
If they exceeded the time, they would be automatically teleported, and then monsters would be randomly assigned, usually stronger ones.
These were experiences summarized by countless predecessors!
Hearing Tang Zichen’s voice, Chen Ye looked at the monster in the fifth passage.
This monster resembled a zombie but appeared more intimidating than a zombie and was much more frightening. Most importantly, the monster’s eyes were not dead gray; they resembled humans, retaining some intelligence.
Moreover, judging from the map background, it was a desolate city, much like the second secret realm.
Chen Ye could almost be certain that the monster in the fifth passage was the Night Stalker from the movie “I Am Legend.”
Mainly because he had watched this movie several times for different endings.
So, he was very familiar with the Night Stalker in it.
If it really was the Night Stalker.
Then it would be easy to deal with!
Because the Night Stalker was afraid of light, especially ultraviolet light.
…
Seeing that Chen Ye hadn’t responded for a long time,
Ren Qianqian suddenly spoke up: “I feel like the Purple Uncle in the fourth passage looks relatively easy to deal with…”
Wow.
You really know how to choose.
You directly chose the most difficult one.
Indeed, compared to other monsters, the Purple Yam Spirit looked much more pleasing to the eye.
The other monsters were either terrifying demons, fierce machines, or disgusting Night Stalkers… Just looking at them made people uncomfortable.
If Chen Ye weren’t present.
Girls like Ren Qianqian and Zhao Huanhuan were very likely to choose the more pleasing Purple Yam Spirit and then wait to be duped.
Seemingly afraid of Chen Ye misunderstanding, Ren Qianqian quickly added, “I just said it casually, Chen Ye, it’s up to you to judge!”
Chen Ye also knew that this girl was a bit straightforward and wouldn’t mind.
He thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Huanhuan. “Huanhuan, do you know the process of making UV lights?”
Zhao Huanhuan was first stunned, then said, “Making UV lights isn’t difficult. You just need a high-pressure mercury lamp with a wavelength of 185nm or 254nm and a power supply. If there’s an LED UV light, it’s even simpler.”
Chen Ye nodded and said immediately, “Then let’s go to the fifth passage. Let’s go!”
He believed that in a ruined city, they could definitely find what Zhao Huanhuan mentioned.
Even if they couldn’t find it, dealing with the Night Stalker wouldn’t be difficult!
Watching Chen Ye walk towards the fifth passage, the others were slightly stunned for a moment, only Tang Zichen followed without hesitation.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed.
Although there were still some doubts in their hearts, they didn’t ask much.
Because Tang Zichen had already told them that Chen Ye had extraordinary insight.
Perhaps.
It was because Chen Ye really discovered something.
…
Passing through the fifth passage,
Everyone arrived directly on an empty street.
In front of them was a forgotten abandoned city, very similar to the second secret realm.
At this moment, it was still daytime in the city.
However, the sun was already slanting down, about to set, emitting the last rays of the setting sun.
Seeing this, Chen Ye frowned.
When night fell, it would be the time for the Night Stalker to act.
If they didn’t have lights, it would be quite dangerous to be surrounded by the Night Stalker army at night.
Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Chen Ye immediately said, “I’ll explain later, everyone split up and go look for a supermarket or grocery store. When you find it, don’t enter recklessly. Signal when everyone’s gathered.”
This time, everyone came here to prevent teammates from getting lost, so they all brought communicators.
“Huanhuan, you follow the squad leader.” Chen Ye added.
Zhao Huanhuan’s potential was all added to her mental attributes, making her the most ordinary among them, with almost no combat power.
It was dangerous for her to act alone.
After that, everyone split up and went their separate ways to search.
Not long after,
Tang Zichen found a large comprehensive supermarket and signaled everyone to come over.
When everyone gathered, Chen Ye said again, “Let’s go in together, be careful, there may be monsters inside… Squad leader, you lead the way!”
Among everyone present, besides Chen Ye, Tang Zichen was the most capable in combat!
This girl was now a stable Tier 3 powerhouse!
Moreover, her psychic power, both offensive and defensive, could easily suppress the Night Stalker and prevent any surprise attacks.
So, letting her lead the way was the most appropriate choice.
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s arrangement, Tang Zichen naturally didn’t object. She nodded, her face becoming serious, and proceeded cautiously into the supermarket.
Chen Ye followed closely behind Tang Zichen.
If Tang Zichen encountered danger, he would immediately come to her rescue and crush any enemies into dust.
Next were Ren Qianqian and Zhao Huanhuan.
Zhao Zheng and Cao Yu conscientiously chose to take the rear.
…
The supermarket was in disarray, with many goods scattered on the ground, and some shelves were askew, as if they had experienced a free-for-all.
Chen Ye picked up a bag of cookies, tore it open, and inspected it. Surprisingly, it was still edible.
With his current vision, he could clearly see whether food had gone bad.
Of course, now wasn’t the time to eat.
According to the signs in the supermarket, the first floor was the food area, and household appliances and other miscellaneous items were on the second floor.
Everyone went upstairs.
The curtains on the second floor were drawn, blocking out the sunlight, shrouding the entire floor in darkness.
People like Cao Yu and Ren Qianqian, with low psychic abilities, could barely see anything.
Although Chen Ye could see, his vision was also hindered in such an environment.
He was almost certain that there was a Night Stalker lurking upstairs.
Because he had just noticed that when they went upstairs, there was a flash of black shadow.
“Be careful!” Tang Zichen spoke up, reminding everyone, “There’s movement inside.”
This girl’s psychic power was a few points higher than Chen Ye’s, so naturally, she could see it too.
Just as Tang Zichen was speaking, Chen Ye noticed something else. He had observed that when they went upstairs, a dark figure flashed by.
“Be careful!” Tang Zichen spoke up, alerting everyone, “There’s movement inside.”
This girl’s psychic power was slightly higher than Chen Ye’s, so naturally, she could also see it.
