Seeing that there were four beds in the dormitory.

Chen Ye let out a slight sigh of relief.

What he disliked most were bunk beds.

Then.

After everyone picked their own bed, they began unpacking and making their beds.

The school provided every new student with bedding, so they only had to lay it out.

Just as Chen Ye finished, Zhao Zheng returned.

"Brother Zhao, you're back."

Lu Yong said with a smile, "We saved you a bed by the window."

Zhao Zheng nodded slightly. "Thanks, brother."

"I've just finished too, Brother Zhao. Let me help you!" Lu Yong offered.

Everyone could tell that he was not being helpful out of kindness, but because he wanted to flatter Zhao Zheng.

After all, Zhao Zheng's compatible hero code was S3!

That was an outstanding talent second only to Tang Zichen.

Before Zhao Zheng could refuse, Lu Yong began briskly making his bed for him.

As he helped, he said, "Brother Zhao, I really didn't expect us to be assigned to the same dorm. Please look after me in the future."

Zhao Zheng remained calm. "We're classmates. There's no need to talk about looking after each other. We should help one another."

The two chatted idly.

As for Qian Fugui, he had probably been hit hard in the cafeteria tonight and was still sulking.

After finishing his own bed, Chen Ye simply left the dormitory and went to the athletic field to run.

He had not done his training for the day yet!

An hour and a half later.

Chen Ye, who was completing the final exercise, the "10-kilometer run," suddenly felt an invisible energy well up within his body, strengthening him.

He immediately stopped and opened his attribute panel:

Name: Chen Ye. Constitution: 67. Spirit: 11. Strength: 69. Agility: 69. Talent: Saitama Physique.

Seeing that his Constitution, Strength, and Agility had each increased by another five points, Chen Ye smiled in satisfaction.

The feeling of growing stronger every day was intoxicating.

Besides.

Chen Ye could now complete all four exercises in the Saitama Training Method in just an hour and a half.

And he did not even get too tired, only working up a little sweat.

With Chen Ye's current physique, this level of exercise truly could no longer burden him.

He clenched his fist.

Chen Ye felt that he could now kill a tiger with one punch!

Having power felt amazing indeed.

After finishing today's training, Chen Ye returned to the dormitory.

He had actually tried completing the Saitama Training Method twice a day to see whether his attributes would increase repeatedly.

The result was that they would not!

The Saitama Training Method.

Only the first round each day was effective.

Back in the dormitory.

Chen Ye found his three roommates gathered around a table, chatting and laughing.

There was food and beer on the table, though he had no idea who had gotten them.

Qian Fugui, who had been in a bad mood earlier, was now flushed red from drinking.

When he saw Chen Ye push open the door and enter, Zhao Zheng greeted him with a smile. "Chen Ye, you're back. Come have a drink."

Refusing at a time like this would make him seem antisocial.

"Sure!"

Chen Ye readily agreed and sat down beside Qian Fugui.

Zhao Zheng personally opened a can of beer for Chen Ye and said, "Chen Ye, your father, Chairman Chen, is actually my idol. When I was young, I watched videos of Chairman Chen saving the city. His heroic bearing as he turned the tide left a deep impression on me!"

"Come to think of it, my decision to become compatible with S3 was also influenced by Chairman Chen. I should thank him for his influence, for without it, I would not be where I am today."

"Of course, I'm just a nobody now. I'm not qualified to stand before Chairman Chen... But thanking Chairman Chen's son is just as good. Come, this drink is for you!"

Chen Ye was utterly confused.

There were not even that many bottles opened on the table. Why did these guys seem so drunk?

Was their alcohol tolerance really that poor?

Half an hour later.

Chen Ye was the only one at the table who remained sober.

Looking at his drunken roommates sprawled every which way, he helplessly began cleaning up the mess.

After clearing away the empty bottles and food trash, he moved his roommates onto their respective beds before taking a shower and going to sleep.

The next day.

Chen Ye was once again the first to get up.

After waking all his roommates, they washed up and headed to class together.

Sure enough, after drinking together, everyone's relationship had become much more harmonious.

When they arrived at the classroom.

Everyone consciously found seats and sat down.

The other students gradually arrived as well. By the time it was nearly eight, the more than thirty seats prepared in the classroom were basically full.

This was the freshmen's first class.

No one would be foolish enough to skip it at a time like this.

At exactly eight o'clock.

The class bell rang.

Teacher Liu entered the classroom carrying a laptop.

"Before class begins, all students are to turn off their phones, because lessons concerning secret realms are forbidden from being shared outside."

At this, everyone took out their phones and turned them off.

A female student could not help asking, "Teacher, why is information about secret realms forbidden from being shared publicly? Wouldn't making secret realm information public benefit society more?"

"Many people share your view, myself included!"

Teacher Liu said with a smile, "Actually, when our country's officials first obtained information related to secret realms, they made it public immediately. Unfortunately, an island nation overseas was rather selfish. It began withholding information, classifying all materials related to secret realms as confidential and allowing only its own people to view them."

"Because that country set a bad precedent, no one afterward wanted to reveal their information for free and make wedding clothes for others. In the end, everyone adopted the same strategy."

"Several decades have passed. Although a great deal of secret realm information has actually already leaked out, this unwritten rule has remained."

Only then did the students understand why.

Teacher Liu smiled again. "This is also my first time teaching. The next step should be choosing a class monitor, right? Does anyone want the position?"

No one spoke.

Everyone present had successfully become compatible with heroic talents, possessing innate abilities that ordinary people did not have and destined to gain extraordinary power in the future.

Among people like them, strength was what mattered most.

There was simply no need to imitate ordinary university students and fight for power.

Without strength, no matter how much authority one had, it would still be like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water.

Being class monitor was merely a waste of time to them.

Very few people were interested.

Seeing that no one spoke, Teacher Liu was not surprised. He said, "Since no one is willing, I'll appoint someone... Tang Zichen, it'll be you. Does anyone object?"

"No objections!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Tang Zichen possessed the highest talent here.

It was only natural for her to be class monitor. No one would object.

Tang Zichen frowned slightly. Just as she was about to decline, Teacher Liu said, "An ability school is different from an ordinary school. Everyone focuses more on becoming stronger, and the class monitor does not usually have that much to do. It is only a symbolic position. Tang Zichen, don't refuse."

Hearing this, Tang Zichen had no choice but to give up and tacitly accept her role as class monitor.

"Alright, class begins now."

Teacher Liu opened his laptop and projected its contents onto the blackboard.

"Students, please look. This ugly monster is a creature from the first secret realm."

At this, the students all stared carefully at the blackboard.

But when Chen Ye saw the image of the monster on the blackboard, his eyes suddenly widened.

This monster...

He knew it!!
