Chapter 251: Is This World Really So Dangerous? (Modified)

In truth.

President Chen had other reasons for wanting to complete Secret Realm No. 30 as quickly as possible.

For instance, he had learned from Ba Liming that successfully passing through Secret Realm No. 30 would grant a reward related to enhancing abilities.

It might even allow his strength to improve further!

If he truly wanted to secure his position as the association president, he needed sufficient power.

Relying on Ba Liming alone would only make others begrudgingly comply without genuine respect.

Additionally.

Ba Liming also hoped President Chen could quickly pass through Secret Realm No. 30 so they could continue exploring realms together.

In fact, Ba Liming even offered to assist President Chen in completing Secret Realm No. 30. However, President Chen declined with an excuse.

Because President Chen had an even more powerful son!

Since someone stronger was available, of course, he had to utilize him...

…

That afternoon.

Chen Ye left the capital and boarded a train heading back to his hometown.

Tang Zichen and Zhao Zheng, however, stayed behind.

Zhao Zheng stayed at President Chen's request.

As his disciple, President Chen felt it was his responsibility as a master to guide Zhao Zheng during his holiday break.

To be honest, President Chen was amazed by Zhao Zheng's current strength.

Especially upon learning that Zhao Zheng's total attributes had already exceeded 1,700 points, he was full of praise.

In President Chen's words: "With such a strong foundation, Zhao Zheng's achievements will definitely surpass mine in the future!"

As for Tang Zichen, she stayed because her father had recently been transferred to the capital.

Of course, this was due to President Chen's behind-the-scenes efforts.

Naturally, he did this for his son, so that when the time came to propose marriage, the future father-in-law wouldn't make things difficult.

Therefore.

Tang Zichen would spend the New Year in the capital.

This was actually a good thing.

After all, the capital was a place filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Spending the New Year there would also ensure her safety.

…

That evening.

Chen Ye arrived back in his hometown.

His mother, Yang Rongzhi, was overjoyed that her son had come home to spend the New Year with her.

Coincidentally, her company had also given employees time off. The next day, she took Chen Ye to celebrate the New Year at his grandfather's house.

His grandfather's house was lively because Yang Rongzhi had several siblings. Chen Ye alone had three uncles.

Adding in all his cousins, the gathering filled an entire house with people.

Chen Ye enjoyed this kind of atmosphere.

The more people there were, the livelier it felt, and the stronger the festive spirit.

The New Year celebrations went smoothly, without any melodramatic twists.

Whether it was his uncles, aunts, or cousins, everyone treated Chen Ye warmly and enthusiastically.

This might have been because Chen Ye's parents were exceptional—especially President Chen.

The news of President Chen stunning a group of experts with just one move, forcing them to retreat in fear, had already spread to the area, greatly boosting the reputation of Chen Ye's maternal family.

Now, the Yang family was a force no one in the region dared to provoke.

Chen Ye stayed in his hometown until his mother returned to work, then left and returned to the capital.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

Another half month had gone by.

Today.

It was March 1.

The day the secret realm would open.

In a lounge within the headquarters of the Ability Association.

Father and son sat facing each other, waiting for the secret realm to open.

"Dad, once we enter the secret realm, can you follow my lead?" Chen Ye asked cautiously.

After all, the person in front of him was his father!

No matter how strong Chen Ye was, he had to be polite.

President Chen glanced at his son and nodded cooperatively. "No problem!"

The reason he agreed so readily.

Was, of course, because his son's past performance had been extraordinary.

Chen Ye had achieved godlike feats in seven consecutive secret realms!

Hearing that his father was willing to cooperate, Chen Ye couldn't help but smile.

Soon.

The plum blossom marks on both of their arms began to heat up. This signified that the secret realm had opened.

The father and son held hands and disappeared from the room together.

…

When Chen Ye regained his vision, he found himself in a remote, mountainous wilderness.

Surrounded by rolling hills and lush green trees, the scenery was beautiful. However, the weather seemed unpleasant—gloomy and overcast, with the threat of rain hanging in the air.

Standing in the wilderness, Chen Ye couldn't discern what kind of world this was.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically.

He realized he was the only one there.

His father, President Chen, was nowhere to be seen!

"Dad?" Chen Ye called out.

The surroundings were eerily empty, with no response to his voice.

Immediately, Chen Ye started to panic.

If he had somehow lost his father, things would definitely take a turn for the worse.

"Dad!!" he shouted again, anxiously searching the area.

At that moment, a notification sounded in his mind.

[Identity detected as Assistant. No rewards will be granted in this Secret Realm.]

[Your stay in this Secret Realm is tied to your employer. You will leave this realm once your employer completes the task or dies.]

The system's voice helped Chen Ye calm down a little.

Clearly, the separation had occurred during the teleportation process. This was the realm's doing. His father, President Chen, was likely still safe for now.

The top priority was to find his father as soon as possible.

Additionally, Chen Ye needed to figure out what kind of world this was.

With that in mind, he leaped into the air, using Moon Steps to ascend high into the sky.

Why take to the skies?

Because the higher you stand, the farther you can see!

Quickly.

Chen Ye spotted a large river to his left. Along the riverbank was a village.

As he observed the riverside village, his heart sank.

With his increasing mental attributes, Chen Ye's memory had significantly improved. Any scene he had seen before would instantly come to mind when revisited.

The village struck him as familiar at first glance. It didn't take long for him to recall where he had seen it—in a movie.

"I hope I'm wrong!" Chen Ye muttered to himself, his face darkening.

If this really was the movie world he remembered, things could get very troublesome.

A moment later.

Chen Ye arrived near the village.

He didn't enter immediately. Instead, he hid nearby to carefully observe the village.

It appeared to be a peaceful place. The villagers made their living through fishing. Nearly every household had fishing nets and related equipment.

Along the riverbank, a few wooden boats were moored.

As it was almost noon, many families were cooking, and chimneys on the rooftops puffed out smoke from burning firewood.

Chen Ye felt a growing sense of unease.

But no matter what, he had to face whatever awaited him.

After observing for a while, he decided to enter the village to investigate further.

When Chen Ye stepped into the village, he immediately caught the attention of the villagers.

His modern attire stood out starkly in what seemed like an ancient society.

On top of that, Chen Ye's bald head made many villagers mistake him for a foreign monk.

Chen Ye didn't bother sneaking around. Instead, he walked openly into the village.

He could have disguised himself by changing into one of the villagers' hemp robes.

But he chose not to. These villagers were clearly not well-off. For them, even a single set of clothing might be one of their most valuable possessions.

If Chen Ye took it, they might be left in tears.
