A Sensation! Tang Zichen's Decision

There are many videos about Chairman Chen online.

In the twenty days since the freshmen entered the Secret Realm, many moving and heroic stories have unfolded on the front lines of Magic City.

Among them, Chairman Chen single-handedly fighting two Level 4 Monsters to prevent them from breaking through the defense line was a particularly big piece of news. Ten days ago, it caused a sensation, trending on hot searches and earning him widespread praise from netizens.

Chen Ye clicked on a video with hundreds of millions of views.

Before he even started watching, he saw the countless comments from netizens below the video...

"Chairman Chen is so cool!"

"Amazing, is this the true power of a Level 5 Expert?"

"Too strong, too fierce. I can't imagine humans being able to unleash such power."

"Battle hero Chairman Chen, my idol!!"

"Haha, you dare to act wild in front of Chairman Chen? Monster, die!!"

"This is what it means to be a lone guard holding off a thousand enemies!"

"So fierce! Among all S3 talent users, Chairman Chen's strength is definitely representative, right?"

Just by looking at these comments, Chen Ye had a feeling the video would be incredibly exciting.

He couldn't wait and clicked to play the video.

The video's perspective was a top-down aerial view, likely filmed by a drone.

At the beginning, monsters filled the mountains and plains, fiercely attacking the human defense line.

Shouts of battle, the roar of cannons, and the howling of monsters... continuously echoed.

Through the lens, Chen Ye also saw how brutal the battlefield between humans and monsters was!

At this moment.

Two particularly ferocious-looking monsters, leading a pack of other monsters, charged straight towards a section of the human defense line.

These two monsters were incredibly powerful. Human firearms couldn't leave even a scratch on them. They charged forward recklessly, and many soldiers were unable to resist, perishing under the monsters' iron hooves.

Just as these two monsters were about to break through the defense line...

Suddenly, a soul-stirring, piercingly strong voice rang out:

"Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!"

A man with a sturdy build, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, rushed over from a distance and slammed into the two Level 4 Monsters.

The next moment!

The air was filled with fist shadows!!!

"Pa pa pa..."

The air exploded, continuously creating sonic booms.

Human eyes were unable to track how many punches this man threw in that instant.

What everyone could see was that the two colossal monsters were being engulfed by the fist shadows!

Moreover, between the crisscrossing fist shadows, blue, flowing light appeared, drawing beautiful curves in mid-air. These eventually intertwined into a net, preventing the two Level 4 Monsters from advancing even an inch!

Not long after.

When all the fist shadows vanished, the two Level 4 Monsters also crashed to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the two Level 4 Monsters looked miserable. Their bodies were covered in fist-sized craters, utterly disfigured by the blows...

The video ended here.

After watching the video.

Chen Ye was stunned and very surprised.

He truly hadn't expected his father in this world to possess such formidable strength.

Even with his current terrifying stats, he would still be easily defeated by his father, Chairman Chen.

Level 5 Experts were indeed powerful!

Lost in thought.

Suddenly.

Someone sent Chen Ye a video call.

It was his mother, Yang Rongzhi.

Chen Ye stood up and walked into the dormitory hallway before choosing to answer.

Zhao Zheng and Lu Yong had just fallen asleep. It wouldn't be good to wake them up by taking a call inside the dorm.

"Hello! Son!"

As soon as the video call connected, Yang Rongzhi's surprised voice came through: "I just saw the news. It said you and that girl Tang Zichen received extra rewards in the Secret Realm? Is that true?"

"It's true."

Chen Ye nodded with a smile.

"Oh my! That's wonderful!"

Yang Rongzhi was overjoyed by her son's success, even more so than if she had achieved it herself.

"Chen Ye, you really need to thank that young lady properly. If she hadn't guided you in the Secret Realm, you definitely wouldn't have achieved such great results."

Fine!

It seems even my own mother thinks Tang Zichen carried me...

Chen Ye didn't explain. Now wasn't the time to reveal the truth. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know."

At this moment.

Yang Rongzhi suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Chen Ye, I also heard from the news that that girl Tang Zichen teamed up with you in the Secret Realm?"

Seeing his mother's thoughts, Chen Ye knew exactly what she was thinking.

He nodded helplessly, "Yes."

"So, does that mean you two were together every day for these twenty days, sharing hardships and supporting each other?"

"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it directly!"

"Hehehe... It's nothing, it's nothing. Mom's just curious, asking casually."

"That's good. Tang Zichen and I are just classmates. Don't overthink it."

"Is that so? Your father told me that he only asked that girl Tang Zichen to look out for you if she encountered you in the Secret Realm. He didn't ask her to team up with you!"

"She just wanted to repay Dad's kindness from back then and wanted to properly repay Chairman Chen, so she chose to team up with Chairman Chen's son."

"Is that true? If you put it that way, this girl is even better! She's beautiful and kind-hearted... truly a good girl."

Knowing he couldn't convince his mother, Chen Ye changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Dad is supporting the front lines in Magic City. Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big event?"

"You were about to enter the Secret Realm then. Mom and Dad didn't want you to worry, so we didn't tell you."

Yang Rongzhi added, "Besides, the situation is stable now. Your dad will probably be back in some time. You just need to get along well with that young lady at school and don't worry about your dad."

"Wait, what do you mean 'get along well with her'?"

"Huh? What did you say, son? The signal here is bad... I have to go to a meeting. Son, I'll talk to you later!"

Beep!

The video call ended.

Chen Ye just smiled.

It seemed his parents didn't know that Tang Zichen had been ambushed in the Secret Realm. Otherwise, his mother, Yang Rongzhi, would definitely not have this attitude.

She might have told him to stay far away from Tang Zichen.

As time went by.

The news of Chen Ye and Tang Zichen receiving extra rewards gained more and more traction, reaching the top of the trending searches by evening.

After all, it had been several years since anyone in Xia Country had received such an honor.

Since the appearance of monsters, transportation between countries worldwide had been almost completely cut off, and various sports events were naturally forced to be canceled. With nothing else to compare, people began to associate the extra rewards from the Secret Realm with national pride.

It was no exaggeration to say that Chen Ye and Tang Zichen receiving extra rewards was indeed bringing glory to the country.

However.

While netizens congratulated the two.

They also raised questions about Chen Ye!

By this point, netizens had already dug up all of Chen Ye's relevant information.

Someone who perfectly matched a C-class Hero's talent was actually admitted into Wu University!

Many netizens were being sarcastic and mocking, questioning the fairness of Wu University's admissions.

There were also many netizens who were simply jealous that Chen Ye could team up with a goddess like Tang Zichen and be carried.

Of course, there were also many netizens who supported Chairman Chen, believing that Chairman Chen had made great contributions, and sending his son to a prestigious school was nothing compared to Chairman Chen's contributions to the country.

Many influential figures did the same!

There was no need to make a fuss about Chairman Chen and Wu University.

Thus, the matter gradually turned into a huge controversy online.

The netizens' arguments made Chen Ye famous nationwide again, turning him into a national celebrity.

Two months ago, when he became famous online for matching a C-class Hero's talent, people only saw him as a fool making a spectacle of himself.

Now, in everyone's eyes, he was just a gigolo who succeeded by relying on a woman!!

Regarding the fact that many netizens considered him a gigolo.

Chen Ye expressed his gratitude to the netizens for acknowledging his appearance!

Wu University Old Campus.

Girls' dormitory.

As a high-end talent who received special treatment, Tang Zichen was different from other freshmen; she had her own private, individual dormitory!

The university's arrangement not only showed their emphasis on Tang Zichen but also aimed to prevent other students from disturbing her rest. After all, Tang Zichen needed to train her mental power every day, and insufficient rest would definitely affect her.

It was already past seven in the evening.

Tang Zichen sat at her computer desk, looking at the online discussions with a slight frown on her delicate brow.

She knew better than anyone in the world that in the Secret Realm, she wasn't the one carrying Chen Ye; it was Chen Ye carrying her! Teaming up with Chen Ye had brought her immense benefit. Now, not only had she not repaid Chairman Chen's kindness, but his son had also saved her life.

Seeing Chen Ye being questioned and attacked by netizens! Tang Zichen's expression turned grim.

After some thought, she made a bold decision!!

I still had a slight fever when I woke up this morning. I took medicine and slept for a while in the afternoon, and I'm feeling a bit better now... The update schedule will return to normal tomorrow, with one update around 12 PM and another before 12 AM!
