Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Secret Realm Opens, Team Formation Turmoil
Chapter 23: Secret Realm Opens, Team Formation Turmoil
Hearing the number "19", even Teacher Liu was surprised.
"I remember when Miss Qin successfully matched with S2, she only increased her attributes by 7 points in the first month... Tang Zichen, you've set a new record!"
Teacher Liu's tone was filled with emotion: "I think the principal will be very happy
to hear about this."
Not just the principal.
The entire nation is hoping for the emergence of another powerful individual to drive away the monsters.
"Tang Zichen, I hope you perform well in the secret realm and take good care of yourself... I believe that in the future, you will become a pillar of our country!"
As he said this, Teacher Liu's expression was very solemn.
Seeing such high praise from Teacher Liu, the other students showed looks of envy.
Only envy.
No jealousy or resentment.
Tang Zichen's efforts were witnessed by everyone, leaving no room for jealousy.
Chen Ye, hearing Teacher Liu say that Tang Zichen had increased her attributes by 8 points in a month, setting a new record, quietly opened his own attribute panel:
Name: Chen Ye.
Physique: 212.
Spirit: 11.
Strength: 214.
Agility: 214.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
...
Sigh!
How boring...
Chen Ye was unclear about the extent of his current strength and physical condition as he hadn't tested them specifically.
Anyway, he had already broken his dormitory bed twice and gone through three phones, all accidentally crushed by him.
Moreover, with his current body, performing the Saitama training method now took less than 50 minutes.
This was still him deliberately controlling his speed.
Otherwise, if he ran at full speed on the playground, he could scare everyone...
...
On the podium.
Teacher Liu was excited.
He could already imagine, when Tang Zichen became famous, he, as her teacher, would also be remembered in history.
His current greatest pursuit, knowing his own potential had been reached, was this recognition.
Otherwise, a master like him wouldn't be teaching.
Teacher Liu was fortunate that he met Tang Zichen in his first teaching experience.
Suddenly, Teacher Liu's eyes caught a glimpse of Chen Ye's listless face, and his brows furrowed.
If meeting Tang Zichen was his luck.
Then encountering a student like Chen Ye, who
"doesn't fear the boiling water like a dead pig," was...
Well, never mind.
They are all his students.
Teacher Liu still sincerely hoped that Chen Ye would do well in the future.
"Let's continue the class!"
Teacher Liu said: "I have already covered everything about the first secret realm. Although the jumping zombies are formidable, they lack much intelligence and act purely on instinct. Remember, as long as you don't fear them and remain cautious and bold, relying on your wisdom and weapons, your chances of success are very high."
"Today's lesson won't be about the contents of the secret realm."
"Tomorrow is the opening of the secret realm, and all new students globally will be transported to the secret realm at the same time. Due to the time difference, most Western countries will open it in the evening, while our time is at 10:50 AM."
"So, after class today, I suggest you don't train anymore. Rest well for the day, conserve your energy, and keep yourself in the best condition!"
No one spoke.
The students were all listening silently.
After a pause, Teacher Liu continued: "The secret realm actually allows team formation, with two people in a team."
"There are many benefits to forming a team, such as taking turns to keep watch at night to prevent surprise attacks from the jumping zombies."
"Every night, the jumping zombies become particularly active, so never let your guard down."
"Additionally, after forming a team, there are many ways to help each other. For instance, if you get injured, your teammate can take care of you... In any case, having a teammate is always better than fighting alone."
"The only downside to forming a team is having to share the spoils from killing monsters. But strictly speaking, this isn't really a disadvantage, and the benefits of teaming up are numerous. I strongly recommend you form teams."
"This is also for the sake of your lives. Surviving in the secret realm alone is truly difficult!"
"Oh, right, in the first three secret realms, the person who kills the most monsters gets an additional reward from the realm. In the past, this reward has always been claimed by a team, without exception."
"Speaking of which, besides the previous Miss Qin, our country hasn't had any newcomers who have won the first-place extra reward for a long time... I hope this time, you can strive for glory for our country."
"Alright, now you can start considering who to team up with!"
As Teacher Liu finished speaking.
The students immediately became restless, looking around at their classmates.
Since it's about forming teams.
Everyone naturally hoped to find a strong teammate.
Not someone who would be a drag.
More and more eyes started to converge on Tang Zichen.
If everyone in the class were ranked by strength, Tang Zichen would undoubtedly be the top choice in everyone's mind.
Unquestionably!
As for Chen Ye with his Saitama physique?
A trash hero talent in everyone's eyes, firmly at the bottom of the list, a complete burden — whoever teamed up with him would be unlucky...
At this moment.
Tang Zichen had become the perfect teammate in everyone's mind.
But for a while, no one dared to speak up.
After a moment.
Finally, a boy couldn't hold back...
"Tang Zichen, class leader, hello, I'm Yan Kai. My matched hero talent is S4. I wonder if I have the honor to team up with you?"
This boy named Yan Kai had a very good opinion of himself. As he spoke, he boldly stared at Tang Zichen, his eyes sparkling, and his face always wearing a bright, confident smile.
Seeing Yan Kai take the initiative, many boys in the class became nervous.
They were afraid that their ideal teammate and goddess would really agree to that jerk.
Chen Ye noticed that Zhao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, although looking calm on the surface, had clenched his fists under the table...
Amidst everyone's attention.
Tang Zichen finally spoke.
"Sorry, Yan student, I already have someone in mind for teaming up."
She was always like that, calm and composed, neither arrogant nor humble.
As if no one could make her unflappable face show any ripples.
It wasn't arrogance.
In fact, Tang Zichen looked at everyone with the same calm gaze, including Teacher Liu, treating everyone equally.
Hearing Tang Zichen's refusal.
Most of the boys in the class first heaved a huge sigh of relief, then started to worry.
What?
Tang Zichen already has someone in mind for teaming up?
Who's that damned lucky guy!
Come out and face your doom!!
...
The most uncomfortable at this moment.
Was none other than Yan Kai.
Being publicly rejected by Tang Zichen made him feel very embarrassed, and it was hard for him to save face.
He forced a strained smile: "Since Tang Zichen already has a teammate, of course, I won't force it. Then, I wish Tang Zichen all the best in the secret realm."
Although his response was quite appropriate.
Yan Kai was still very young and couldn't control his emotions and facial expressions well.
It was obvious to anyone that his
eyes were filled with a sullen look.
By refusing him, Tang Zichen had offended this classmate.
Of course, Tang Zichen herself didn't care...
"Zichen!"
At this moment, Teacher Liu, who had been watching the situation from the podium, suddenly spoke up: "Could you tell the teacher who you have chosen as your teammate?"
