The Last-Minute Royal Flush

"Oh, the class monitor is looking for me to return a favor."

Chen Ye tried to downplay it.

But no one believed him!

"Return a favor? In the woods?" Qian Fugui asked with a smile.

Chen Ye was helpless.

If anyone was to blame, it was Tang Zichen for choosing such a good meeting spot...

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. We brothers understand!"

Qian Fugui exclaimed, "You're amazing, kid! You even managed to get the proud Tang class monitor, I'm impressed!"

Zhao Zheng's face turned a little pale, then he suddenly gave a wry smile, "Chen Ye, you probably realized I have a bit of a crush on the class monitor, so it's inconvenient for you to say, right?"

"It's okay..."

"When it comes to feelings, the most important thing is mutual affection; you can't force it. Since you were able to enter the class monitor's heart, it means you're more outstanding than me. As your roommate and friend, I can only bless you. You don't need to feel any pressure, I'm not that petty."

Chen Ye: "..."

I'm telling the truth, damn it!?

He was truly impressed by their ability to imagine things.

However, Zhao Zheng's magnanimity did impress him.

He could tell that Zhao Zheng's words just now were sincere.

It didn't seem like a lie.

Of course, if this kid dared to put on a front while plotting against him behind his back, then he would have to use the Light Body Technique and let Zhao Zheng taste his Serious Punch.

Lu Yong, standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Zheng come to terms with it, then looked at Chen Ye with envy.

"Chen Ye, you're something else, hiding your true strength!"

Lu Yong added, "With your relationship with Tang class monitor, you must know who she's forming a team with, right? Tell us!"

This made Chen Ye find it strange.

"Since you all think I'm Tang class monitor's boyfriend, why can't you also think that the person Tang class monitor is forming a team with is me?"

Lu Yong was stunned, then he smiled and said nothing more.

Qian Fugui immediately chuckled, "It's simple. Lu Yong definitely thinks that with your poor talent, Tang class monitor wouldn't team up with you for her future, even if you were dating her."

This guy's talent was also very poor, and he even realized that he might not survive this Secret Realm, so he spoke without reservation, unafraid of offending anyone.

"Fugui, I didn't think that way, don't talk nonsense."

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

Chen Ye nodded truthfully.

Everyone was very surprised to see this.

"Good!"

Jealousy contorted Qian Fugui's face, "I didn't quite believe that Tang class monitor was actually dating you, but now I have no choice but to believe it. She's even willing to team up with you for something like this?"

"Old Chen, don't blame me for speaking harshly, but with your talent, you're a burden, just like me. For Tang class monitor to make up her mind to team up with you is definitely true love. She's making a huge sacrifice, you better cherish it."

Lu Yong and Zhao Zheng both nodded in agreement.

Chen Ye: "..."

So now, having single attributes exceeding two hundred is considered a burden?

Are your standards that high?

"Is everyone done eating?"

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

Hearing this, the sycophantic Lu Yong became somewhat dejected.

He was right next to Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Zheng said that, meaning he wasn't even considering him.

"Then let's go!"

Qian Fugui said indifferently and was the first to stand up.

After that.

Everyone dispersed.

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

As for Tang Zichen looking for him to form a team, he was actually indifferent.

He could team up or not.

He could survive in the Secret Realm alone.

However, it would be quite dangerous to sleep.

After all, Teacher Liu also said that the threats in the Secret Realm weren't just zombies, but also other humans.

For safety's sake, having a teammate to watch each other's backs was indeed good, making things more secure.

This was one of the reasons Chen Ye hadn't refused Tang Zichen.

Another reason was that Tang Zichen was very beautiful.

Chen Ye never denied that he was a pervert; having an attractive female teammate was always better than struggling alone.

If it had been a guy teaming up with him, he would have definitely preferred to go alone.

The only trouble was that he had too many secrets, and it might be inconvenient to do things when he was with Tang Zichen.

The next day.

Ten in the morning.

All the freshmen gathered on the sports field.

Everyone was dressed neatly, holding weapons and packs.

They looked like soldiers about to march, poised and ready.

In 50 minutes, they would be teleported to the Secret Realm.

Following that.

A group of school leaders, accompanied by Teacher Liu, also arrived at the sports field.

This showed how much the school leaders valued this batch of freshmen.

Looking at the ready freshmen before him, the vice-principal stepped forward and said gravely:

"Students! The principal is currently on the front lines in Magic City and cannot return for the time being, but he asked me to pass on one message to you: Make sure you come back safely!!"

After saying this, the vice-principal stepped down.

Chen Ye liked this no-nonsense approach.

Moreover, though the message was short, it carried significant expectations, making it much more nourishing than any empty platitudes or motivational speeches.

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

"The conditions for teaming up in the Secret Realm aren't that complicated. As long as you hold your partner's hand during teleportation, the team-up is successful, and you'll be teleported to the same location."

This condition.

Clearly, many students didn't know about it.

Those who had chosen male-male pairings purely for combat effectiveness turned green upon hearing this.

However, Teacher Liu didn't pay attention to the other students after speaking.

His attention was entirely focused on Tang Zichen at this moment.

When he saw Tang Zichen turn to look at Chen Ye beside her, and Chen Ye also turn his gaze to Tang Zichen...

Teacher Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

As expected.

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

It even looked like Tang Zichen initiated it...

Instantly!

Except for Zhao Zheng, Lu Yong, and Qian Fugui, everyone who witnessed this scene exploded.

Chen Ye was now something of a celebrity at the school.

Everyone knew that Wu University had set a precedent by recruiting a student with C-class Hero talent for the first time in its history, named Chen Ye.

And Tang Zichen was even more famous; she was already a celebrity before even enrolling.

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

It was precisely because of this that seeing these two inexplicably hold hands made everyone feel incredulous and shocked!

"Teacher Liu, what's going on?"

The vice-principal asked with a frown, "If I'm not mistaken, the person Miss Tang wanted to team up with is Chairman Chen's son, right? The kid who matched with the C-class talent? Isn't this just messing around?"

His voice was somewhat stern.

Facing the vice-principal's questioning, Teacher Liu's face turned green.

He cared more about Tang Zichen than the vice-principal.

He never expected Tang Zichen to make such an unexpected choice at the last moment, practically hitting him with a Royal Flush.
