Reaching the Hot Search, Background Uncovered

The new students of Wu University.

This time, a total of four people did not return from the Secret Realm.

Compared to previous years, the survival rate of this batch of Wu University new students was already considered very good...

And among these four who didn't return was Qian Fugui!

After learning from Lu Yong that Qian Fugui hadn't returned, Chen Ye fell silent for a moment.

As for this outcome.

It wasn't entirely unexpected...

Chen Ye remembered that when they entered the Secret Realm, Qian Fugui was alone, and no one was willing to team up with him.

After all, going into a Secret Realm was risking one's life, not just simple mutual help among classmates.

Given Qian Fugui's situation, being alone in the Secret Realm was indeed very dangerous.

Qian Fugui wasn't a king; he didn't have the invincible summoned beast, the Bald Demon King.

Although Chen Ye had inherited the Bald Demon King's physique talent.

However.

His personality.

Was completely different from the Bald Demon King.

"Sigh!"

Chen Ye sighed and said nothing.

Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong also lost the mood to chat. They lay on their beds, preparing to rest.

Qian Fugui was their roommate.

They had gotten along pretty well during their more than a month together.

Now that Qian Fugui hadn't returned, they all felt a sense of shared misfortune.

They had already experienced the dangers of the Secret Realm.

Perhaps!

It would be their turn next...

Perhaps it was because they were too tired.

Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong soon began to breathe evenly, falling into a deep sleep.

Chen Ye, however, couldn't sleep.

He lay on his bed, took out his phone, and started browsing the internet.

Tang Zichen and he had received extra rewards. So many new students had seen it at the time; it must have already spread online by now, right?

When Chen Ye opened the news website, as expected, the news about him and Tang Zichen receiving extra rewards from the Secret Realm had already surged into the top ten trending searches.

Moreover, the momentum of its popularity was increasing very rapidly. It was estimated that it would soon occupy the first spot on the trending searches.

[Congratulations to our country's students Chen Ye and Tang Zichen for receiving the extra reward for being the top monster killers in the Secret Realm, bringing honor to the country!]

This was the title used by one of the news media outlets.

A bit exaggerated!

But that's how self-media operates; for traffic, they always go for the most sensational approach.

Chen Ye clicked on the news content and scanned it, but his brow furrowed...

"...I just heard that two of our country's new students, Tang Zichen and Chen Ye, received extra rewards in Secret Realm 1!"

"Here, the editor wants to congratulate the two. This act can also be considered bringing honor to the country."

"As for the student Tang Zichen, I'm sure everyone is familiar with her. She is the prodigy who successfully resonated with the S2 hero talent at the New Student Compatibility Ceremony two months ago. She is also the second person in our country to successfully resonate with the S2 hero talent. It is only natural that she received the extra reward this time, as the S2 talent ability is very powerful! Ms. Qin back then also received extra rewards from the Secret Realm. I believe that Miss Tang Zichen's future achievements will also be limitless. I am increasingly looking forward to her becoming the second Ms. Qin."

"However, regarding the student Chen Ye, the editor has many doubts."

"When I first heard the name Chen Ye, I felt it was somewhat familiar, so I searched online and actually found him."

"Speaking of which, this person is also a celebrity. He is the warrior who chose to resonate with the C-class hero talent at this year's New Student Compatibility Ceremony. I remember that this person caused quite a few jokes at the time and also brought very serious negative impacts to his alma mater."

"What surprises me is that someone who resonated with a C-class hero talent could openly enter Wu University and become a new student of Wu University this year!"

"As far as I know, Wu University, as the country's top esper institution, has always had very strict admission requirements for new students. At least one must have resonated with a hero talent ranked high in the A-class to be qualified."

"Here, I can't help but ask the leaders of Wu University, through what conditions did this student named Chen Ye enter Wu University?"

"What's even more unbelievable to me is that this student named Chen Ye not only entered Wu University but was even able to team up with the heavenly pride Tang Zichen!!"

"A student with the worst talent teaming up with a student with the best talent? It's simply absurd, the biggest joke in the world! If this hadn't actually happened, the editor would never have believed it."

"I finally understand why this student, who clearly has a C-class hero talent, was able to receive extra rewards. Being carried by an outstanding person like Tang Zichen, even a pig could soar. I believe this student named Chen Ye only needed to hide behind Tang Zichen in the Secret Realm."

"Later, after extensive investigation, I discovered that this student named Chen Ye has quite a background!"

"His father is Chairman Chen of the Esper Association's Qing'an Province branch. Chairman Chen is not only high-ranking but also an old classmate of Principal Lu of Wu University!!"

"Is this the truth? We want to ask the leaders of Wu University, can you give a reasonable explanation for this matter? Wu University has always prided itself on fairness and justice, have you forgotten your original intentions?"

After seeing this promotional article.

Chen Ye's first reaction.

was that someone was stirring up trouble!

And the main target wasn't him, but aimed at his father and the principal of Wu University.

Although the content of this promotional article was mostly true, the timing of its exposure and the deliberate manipulation of netizens showed malicious intent.

Chen Ye frowned, silently noted down the name of the self-media that published the article, and through corporate inquiries, found the legal representative and owner of the self-media company...

Retaliation?

No, no...

He just wanted to have a good chat with the owner of the company when he had time, and ask him who the mastermind behind it was.

Of course, if there were some bumps and bruises during the conversation, it would be quite normal, right?

Self-media companies like this are just doing it for money.

Without significant benefits, it's impossible to offend a prestigious school like Wu University.

This news.

was also the news with the most comments from netizens.

"Holy crap! What this editor is saying is actually true!!"

"That's right, this guy named Chen Ye, when he was matching with a C-class Hero, I happened to see the live broadcast from their provincial TV station."

"Amazing! A C-class Hero talent, and he got into Wu University, and even teamed up with a prodigy like Tang Zichen to enter a Secret Realm? Amazing, amazing, I'm impressed!"

"Damn! This is clearly a rigged game! It must be his dad, Chairman Chen, who used his connections to get this kid into Wu University."

"Wu University, which claims to be fair and just? Heh heh..."

"Sigh! When has this world ever been fair?"

"Waiting for Wu University to find an excuse to whitewash!"

"You guys should say less. Chairman Chen is also a heroic figure. He saved a city back then, and now he's on the front lines in Magic City, fighting monsters. What's wrong with getting some benefits for his son?"

"Yeah, wasn't it captured by a drone a few days ago that Chairman Chen fought two Level 4 Monsters alone, risking his life? I remember your comments back then were all praise, have you forgotten?"

"Oh, Chairman Chen's paid commenters are quick! Already starting to defend him?"

"Get lost, you idiot. Chairman Chen is currently risking his life on the Magic City front lines fighting monsters. You stupid editor, what right do you have to be so sarcastic? If you have the guts, go to the front lines yourself."

"One thing at a time, I admit Chairman Chen is a heroic figure, but giving his son such preferential treatment is still a bit wrong... but it's also acceptable. After all, Chairman Chen's contributions to the country are more than enough."

"So, what exactly are you trying to say, upstairs?"

"Heh heh, this promotional article is too manipulative and malicious! The country has regulations that the children of heroes can receive some preferential treatment. Chairman Chen has long been recognized as a combat hero, and his son's admission to Wu University, while a bit exaggerated, doesn't warrant such a fuss."

"Everyone, don't be fooled. This editor is exposing this matter at this particular time with malicious intent. Are they trying to make Chairman Chen defect? Investigate if he's a lackey of the Fanatics!"

Just as Chen Ye expected.

Among the netizen comments below this promotional article, there was a lot of negative feedback.

Chen Ye had nothing to say about this.

If you stand tall, you cast no shadow.

Someone like him who got in through the back door was inherently illegitimate!

His father using his connections to get him into Wu University back then already had hidden dangers, and it was normal for it to be dug up and criticized now.

It was already very considerate of the netizens not to curse him out and only make sarcastic remarks, which was giving Chairman Chen a lot of face.

What surprised Chen Ye.

was that many netizens were still supporting his father.

Chen Ye hadn't expected that his father, Chairman Chen, held such a significant position in the hearts of netizens!

However.

At this moment, Chen Ye was more concerned about a netizen who mentioned that his father was also on the Magic City front lines? And had once fought two Level 4 Monsters alone?

He immediately started searching for related videos
