I choose a C ranked hero in another world, I was mocked online

"Oh, the class monitor sought me out to repay a favor."

Chen Ye tried to downplay the situation.

But still, no one believed him! 

"Repay a favor? All the way to the small forest?" Qian Fugui asked with a smile.

Chen Ye was helpless.

If there was anyone to blame, it was Tang Zichen for choosing such a perfect meeting place...

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, don't. The brothers all understand!"

Qian Fugui exclaimed, "You're really something, Chen Ye! Even Tang Zichen, the class monitor, who is so proud and aloof, fell for you. I'm impressed!"

Zhao Zheng's face turned a few shades paler, then he suddenly gave a bitter smile: "Chen Ye, I guess you realized that I have a bit of a crush on the class monitor, so it's awkward for you to talk about it, right?"

"It's okay..."

"Love is most important when feelings are mutual, and cannot be forced. Since you've made your way into Tang Zichen's heart, it shows you're more outstanding than me. As your roommate and friend, I can only wish you well. Don't feel any psychological pressure over this, I'm not that narrow-minded."

Chen Ye: "..."

I'm actually telling the truth!?

He was amazed at the imaginations of these people.

However, Zhao Zheng's magnanimity did impress him.

He could tell that Zhao Zheng was very sincere in what he had just said.

It didn't seem like a lie.

Of course, if this guy dared to play nice on the surface but trip him up behind his back, then he would just have to use his light-body technique and give Zhao Zheng a taste of his "serious punch."

Lu Yong, standing nearby, was relieved to see Zhao Zheng letting go and looked at Chen Ye with envy.

"Chen Ye, you really are something, keeping your talents hidden!"

Lu Yong added, "Since you and Tang Zichen, the class monitor, have this kind of relationship, you must know who she's planning to team up with, right? Why not share it with us?"

This question puzzled Chen Ye.

"Since you think I'm Tang Zichen's, the class monitor's, partner, why can't you believe that I might be the one she wants to team up with?"

Lu Yong was taken aback, then laughed without replying.

Qian Fugui immediately laughed and said, "That's easy, Lu Yong must think that with your poor talent, Tang Zichen, the class monitor, wouldn't team up with you for the sake of her future, even if you were in a relationship."

This guy also had poor talent and even realized he might not survive this secret realm, so he spoke without any reservations, not afraid to offend anyone.

"Rich and Honorable, I didn't think that way, don't talk nonsense."

Lu Yong was embarrassed and deliberately changed the subject, asking Chen Ye, "Old Chen, from what you're saying, Tang Zichen, the class monitor, rejected so many people in the class just to team up with you?"

Chen Ye nodded truthfully.

Everyone was surprised at this.

"Nice!"

Out of jealousy, Qian Fugui's face twisted: "I was a bit skeptical that Tang Zichen, the class monitor, really got together with you, but now, I have to believe it. She's even willing to team up with you for such matters?"

"Old Chen, don't blame me for speaking unpleasantly, but with your talent, you're just like me, a burden. Tang Zichen, the class monitor, must truly love you to decide to team up with you. It's a big sacrifice, and you should cherish it."

Lu Yong and Zhao Zheng both nodded in agreement.

Chen Ye: "..."

Now, even with attributes breaking two hundred, I'm still a burden?

Are your standards that high?

"Are you all full?"

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke: "If you're full, let's disperse! I need to hurry and find teammates too."

Hearing this, Lu Yong, the sycophant, seemed a bit disappointed.

He was right next to Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng's words implied that he didn't consider Lu Yong as a potential teammate.

"Then let's call it a day!"

Qian Fugui, indifferent, was the first to stand up.

Then, everyone dispersed.

Chen Ye returned to the dormitory, planning to take a nap before continuing with the Saitama training method.

As for Tang Zichen asking him to team up, he was actually indifferent.

He could take it or leave it.

Even alone in the secret realm, he could survive.

Sleeping indeed posed a certain danger.

After all, even Teacher Liu had mentioned that the threats in the secret realm were not only zombies but also other humans.

For safety's sake, having a teammate to watch each other's back was indeed a good idea, offering more stability.

This was one of the reasons why Chen Ye didn't refuse Tang Zichen's proposal.

Another reason was that Tang Zichen was very beautiful.

Chen Ye never denied that he was somewhat superficial; having an attractive female teammate was certainly preferable to struggling alone.

If it were a guy proposing to team up, he would definitely prefer to be alone.

The only trouble was that he had quite a few secrets, and being with Tang Zichen might make certain things inconvenient.

...

The next day.

At 10 in the morning.

All the freshmen gathered on the playground.

Each was dressed neatly, holding weapons and packages in their hands.

They looked like soldiers ready for battle, poised for action.

In 50 minutes, they would be transported into the secret realm.

Subsequently.

A group of school leaders, accompanied by Teacher Liu, arrived at the playground.

This showed how much the school leaders valued this year's freshmen.

Watching the prepared freshmen, the vice principal stepped forward and said solemnly:

"Students! The principal is still at the frontline in Modu and can't come back for now, but he asked me to convey a message to you: You must come back safely!!"

After these words, the vice principal stepped down.

Chen Ye appreciated this no-nonsense style.

Though brief, the words carried significant expectations and were far more nutritious than any empty platitudes.

Teacher Liu then spoke loudly: "I know you've all found your teammates. Now, you can hold your teammate's hand."

"The conditions for forming a team in the secret realm are not that complicated. As long as you hold your partner's hand during the teleportation, the team formation is successful, and you'll be teleported to the same location."

This condition.

Apparently, many students were unaware of it.

Those who had chosen male partners solely for combat strength turned green at the news.

But Teacher Liu didn't pay attention to the other students.

His focus was entirely on Tang Zichen.

When he saw Tang Zichen turn her head to look at Chen Ye, and Chen Ye also looked back at her...

Teacher Liu's heart sank, sensing a bad omen.

Sure enough.

The next moment, the two students with the best and worst talents in the class held hands.

And it seemed like Tang Zichen took the initiative...

Instantly!

Everyone who saw this, except for Zhao Zheng, Lu Yong, and Qian Fugui, was shocked.

Chen Ye was now somewhat of a celebrity in the school.

Everyone knew that Wuda University, for the first time in history, had admitted a student with a C-grade hero talent, Chen Ye.

And Tang Zichen, needless to say, was a celebrity even before entering the school.

At least everyone present, including the school leaders, knew these two.

That's why seeing these two mismatched individuals holding hands was so unbelievable and shocking to everyone!

"Teacher Liu, what's going on?"

The vice principal asked with a frown, "If I'm not mistaken, the person Tang Zichen chose to team up with is the son of Chairman Chen, the one with the C-grade talent, right? Isn't this nonsense?"

His voice was somewhat stern.

Faced with the vice principal's questioning, Teacher Liu's face turned pale.

He was even more concerned about Tang Zichen than the vice principal.

He had never expected that Tang Zichen would make such an unexpected choice at the last minute, practically delivering a bombshell.
