Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 9
Chapter 9: Is He Not My Biological Son?
Although Chen Ye’s extraordinary actions surprised countless netizens, he only ranked second on the trending news list. The top news, causing a nationwide sensation, came from today’s hero bonding event as well.
A high school student successfully bonded with the hero codenamed S2!
This marked only the second successful bonding with an S2 hero talent in the nation’s history.
The girl, named “Tang Zichen,” became famous overnight!
Considering the achievements of Qin, who successfully bonded with S2 talent before, everyone understood that Tang Zichen, as long as she didn’t meet an untimely end, would undoubtedly achieve remarkable success in the future.
Perhaps another top-tier powerhouse would emerge in the country!
The appearance of top-tier powerhouses was always a fortunate event for the nation, provided they were not morally corrupt individuals.
Therefore, the netizens’ evaluations were overwhelmingly positive, with most expressing their blessings for Tang Zichen.
The difference in evaluations between Tang Zichen and Chen Ye was extreme.
…
After playing on his phone for a while, Chen Ye felt that his father should have been managed by his mother by now, so he put down his phone and went downstairs.
He wanted to test the extraordinary aspects of the Saitama Physique.
This villa had an underground floor converted into a training room, spacious enough with various fitness equipment, perfect for Chen Ye.
As he reached the staircase on the first floor, he overheard his parents talking in the living room, unable to resist eavesdropping.
Chen Hui Chang: “… Do you think I’m angry just for my face? Isn’t it all because of worrying about this brat! He doesn’t know what he’s doing, choosing a C-level hero talent. I’m afraid he won’t even pass the Secret Realm!”
Yang Rongzhi: “Secret Realm? Is it really that scary as you say?”
Chen Hui Chang: “What do you know? The Secret Realm also has another name, the Land of Horror. It’s full of various monsters. Although not as powerful as the monsters outside the city walls, it’s not to be underestimated. Without the strength to defend oneself, it’s easy to die inside!”
Yang Rongzhi, anxiously: “What should we do? Our son is your own son, and you’re his real father. You can’t just ignore him!”
Chen Hui Chang: “What do you mean? Do you think that he isn’t my biological son?”
Yang Rongzhi: “… What nonsense are you talking about? I just want you to take our son seriously.”
Chen Hui Chang: “Do I need to remind you? Today there’s another big news. A child successfully bonded with the S2 hero talent. Did you hear about it?”
Yang Rongzhi: “Of course, such a big thing. What does it have to do with our son?”
Chen Hui Chang: “That kid’s father is my former colleague, named Tang Qiangjun. Do you remember?”
Yang Rongzhi: “Remember, you saved him before, and he sent us something to express gratitude…”
Yang Rongzhi was pleasantly surprised, “Are you saying?”
Chen Hui Chang: “Exactly, six years ago, I saved his life. If he sends his daughter to protect our son to get through the Secret Realm, I think there shouldn’t be a big problem. Both kids are of the same age. I’ll go all out, even if I have to lose face, and arrange for them to attend the same university.”
Yang Rongzhi: “Although doing this seems like seeking favours, but for the sake of our son, it’s the only way I can do it.”
“Right, Old Chen, you’re really the man I chose. You’re resourceful!”
Yang Rongzhi said happily, “If the two kids develop feelings over time and end up together, that would be even better.”
Chen Hui Chang: “…”
“Even though our son is our son, I have to say, don’t daydream. That child, as long as she doesn’t die young, her future achievements are difficult to estimate, and it’s not something our son can match.”
Yang Rongzhi: “That’s not necessarily true. Our son looks so handsome, and he has a sweet mouth…”
…
At the staircase.
Chen Ye heard all of this and felt emotional.
It’s true that a parent’s love is the most selfless. Although his father was furious just now, he was still giving his all to plan the best future for him.
Pitiful are the hearts of parents worldwide.
“Cough!”
Chen Ye pretended to cough and walked out.
Both Yang Rongzhi and Chen Hui Chang turned their heads upon hearing the movement.
Seeing Chen Ye, Chen Hui Chang’s face immediately turned stern, full of anger, as if he wanted to use a belt to punish his unfilial son.
Seeing this, Chen Ye wasn’t bothered; calling his father was natural here. However, Yang Rongzhi wasn’t pleased.
“Why are you making a face when your son has already apologised?”
After scolding Chen’s father, she looked at Chen Ye with concern.
“Chen Ye, tell Mom the truth. Did you fall in love, had relationship issues, and chose to bond with a C-level hero talent out of frustration?”
Chen Ye was stunned. He admired his mother’s ability to make wild guesses forcibly.
After some thought, he found that this excuse was quite good, saving him from explaining everything. So, he remained silent.
Seeing her son not speaking, Yang Rongzhi thought she had guessed correctly, and she felt sorry, saying, “Silly boy, you’re still so young. In the future, you’ll definitely meet better girls. There’s really no need…”
She didn’t continue her words.
The incident had already happened, and saying more wouldn’t help, only causing her son more heartache.
“Mom, I’m fine now.”
Chen Ye said, “I’ll go to the basement to play for a while. Call me when it’s time for dinner.”
“Okay, you go.”
Yang Rongzhi answered repeatedly, her face full of affection.
After Chen Ye left, she immediately changed her expression, exuding a murderous aura, and gritted her teeth, “Old Chen, have your people investigate thoroughly for me. I want to see who’s the vixen harming my son!”
…
Arriving in the basement.
Seeing the luxurious decoration and various precious fitness equipment in the training room, Chen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim, “Being rich is really nice.”
Then, he began testing the extraordinary aspects of the Saitama Physique.
“If I remember correctly, Saitama’s training method involves 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometre run every day…”
“With my current body, completing these exercises is not easy.”
“Let’s take it slowly. I’ll start with a 10-kilometre run!”
