Back in his room.
Chen Ye locked the door, and with a thought...
The next moment.
A status panel immediately "popped" into view in his left eye.
Name: Chen Ye.
Constitution: 7.
Spirit: 11.
Strength: 9.
Agility: 9.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
Everyone who successfully bonded with a hero talent had a status panel like this, and only they could see their own.
Seeing the "Talent" section, Chen Ye was overjoyed.
If someone else had obtained Saitama Physique, they would probably have been utterly confused. After enough time passed and they discovered that the physique seemed useless, they would likely dismiss it as garbage and abandon it.
Only Chen Ye knew how terrifying this talent truly was!!
Thinking that he would be invincible under heaven in just three years, Chen Ye could not help laughing out loud...
Then.
He noticed that this body's attributes were rather low. Its Constitution in particular was only 7, making him frown.
A normal adult's four primary attributes averaged around 10.
An attribute as low as 7 was definitely abnormal.
"This little pervert must have kidney deficiency. That's why it affected his physical development!"
"They say women in their thirties are like wolves and tigers. With that underdeveloped body of yours, could you possibly handle those women?"
After silently mocking the previous owner of this body, Chen Ye did not actually care much.
With Saitama Physique, restoring a body weakened by kidney deficiency would be easy.
One could even say that his future body would be able to take on every woman in the world...
Just then.
His phone suddenly chimed with a message notification:
Little puppy, did something upset you? Do you want big sister to comfort you tonight?
The sender was saved as "Sister Qing."
Memories of Sister Qing immediately surfaced in Chen Ye's mind.
He had to admit.
Although the previous owner, as a rich second-generation heir, had somewhat abnormal tastes and was in the late stages of Cao Mengde Syndrome, one could not question his eye for women.
She was a mature woman in her early thirties, with exquisite features, the air of a commanding older beauty, a breathtaking figure, and a fondness for black stockings...
Oh, right.
This Sister Qing was his mother's best friend and also her business partner!
Seeing the message, an interested look immediately appeared on Chen Ye's ordinarily decent face.
Sure, I'll go over tonight...
As if possessed, Chen Ye sent the message.
Before long.
A reply came from the other side:
I thought you little XX had suffered some kind of blow and given up on yourself, which was why you chose a C-class hero talent. Looks like you're doing just fine. What a relief... I was only teasing you. Big sister is still out of town and won't be back anytime soon.
Seeing that message, Chen Ye felt somewhat disappointed.
Then when you come back, I'll throw you a welcome-home party.
Where should we celebrate? In the bathtub at my place? Or on the sofa?
An adults-only scene instantly appeared in Chen Ye's mind, and blood began rushing toward a certain part of his body.
He could not help sighing that married women and young girls really were different.
Even if a young girl could say such flirtatious words, they simply would not have the same flavor.
Just as Chen Ye was preparing to reply again.
Suddenly.
The sound of an argument came from downstairs:
"Where's that little bastard?"
It was the voice of a middle-aged man, full of power, like the roar of a lion.
Chen Ye felt as though even the floorboards were trembling.
Yet he was not worried in the slightest.
Because the memories in his mind told him that his father was henpecked and terrified of his wife.
Very soon.
His mother, Yang Rongzhi, spoke:
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't disturb my son while he's resting!"
Though her voice was not as penetrating as Father Chen's, her presence was clearly far more imposing.
Father Chen was probably furious enough to talk back. "He still has the nerve to rest? Look at the mess he made! He actually chose a garbage hero talent, and did it during a livestream... He's completely disgraced me!"
"Is your old face more important, or is my son's health more important? He's already suffered a huge blow. If you keep provoking him and he does something stupid, I won't live either!"
As soon as she said that.
Father Chen was instantly left helpless and could only say, "Keep spoiling him, then! Even if my old face doesn't matter, choosing a garbage hero talent will affect his own future. No school dares accept him now. Let's see what he does about that!"
Yang Rongzhi said, "Aren't you, Chairman Chen, some big shot? You can't even handle your own son's future? If you're incapable, then I'll raise my son myself!"
In terms of strength.
Father Chen was famous throughout the country.
With a single move of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, he struck fear into his enemies.
But when it came to arguing.
Father Chen was no match for Yang Rongzhi at all and was completely crushed in a one-sided battle.
Before long, Chen Ye could no longer hear the argument downstairs.
He smiled and paid it no mind.
As for the future issue Father Chen had mentioned, Chen Ye was even less worried.
Time.
Would prove everything!
Then Chen Ye sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and began browsing the internet.
He was rather curious about how online users were judging him.
The moment he opened a webpage, he saw that he had already made the trending news!
"Shocking! It's already 2029, and someone still chose a C-class hero talent?"
That headline...
Left Chen Ye speechless.
"I remember that it hasn't even been two hours since I finished bonding at school, right? I'm already on the trending news list?"
After opening the article, he found videos posted by countless self-media accounts. Their content was the process of him bonding with the hero talent.
In the videos, Chen Ye even saw that his teacher seemed to have fainted from anger at the end...
What a tragedy!
Below the videos were countless comments from online users:
"This dude is insane! He actually chose to bond with a C-class hero talent during a livestream."
"I don't understand. Haven't C-class Heroes long since been proven to be useless heroes? What's the point even if the bonding succeeds?"
"I suspect this guy did it deliberately. He wants to become famous, be an influencer, and cash in. Now that he's so popular, he got what he wanted."
"Bro above, you've got it wrong. His background is no small matter. He doesn't need to make money through tactics like that. His dad is Chairman Chen of the Qing'an Province branch!"
"Holy shit, Chairman Chen's son? For real?"
"No way, right? Why would Chairman Chen's son do something so stupid? Didn't Chairman Chen stop him?"
"They say a tiger father has no dog son, but apparently that isn't always true!"
Chen Ye read through several articles from self-media accounts and discovered that whenever someone exposed his identity in the comments, the discussion immediately went off-topic and turned to talking about his father.
And none of it was flattering...
No wonder.
His father had been so angry.
If it were him and he had such a filial son, he would not be able to tolerate it either.
Although his father was more famous, the name "Chen Ye" had now become known across the country as well, making him a household-name idiot.
