Chapter 34: Chapter 34: For the Bounty, She Must Die!
Chapter 34: For the Bounty, She Must Die!
The world is full of fools.
But there are definitely not a few smart people! Chen Ye could come up with such a harmful plan, and naturally, others could think of it too.
So, Chen Ye wasn't surprised that someone had used this plan before.
He just didn't expect it to have such serious consequences...
"By the way, class leader, did Mr. Liu tell you which country's people caused such a tragedy?"
"It's our neighbor, South Korea."
Hearing Tang Zichen's answer, Chen Ye was a bit surprised.
He thought that those capable of such deeds would most likely be the infamous Japanese.
Unexpectedly, it was actually South Korea!
Tang Zichen continued: "The person's name is Lee Jong-hee, said to be from a renowned family in South Korea. In peacetime, his family was a famous conglomerate in South Korea."
"Later, when monsters invaded, South Korea, due to its geographical location, was the first to suffer severe damage and has since never recovered. To this day, most of the country has become a paradise for monsters, with only the last city still struggling to survive."
"Most of the country's elite have fled South Korea, changing their nationality to become citizens of other countries."
"For some reason, Lee Jong-hee's family chose not to flee South Korea. But clearly, they bet wrong, and now the Lee family is in a state of decline..."
"Mr. Liu speculates that Lee Jong-hee's actions are very likely supported by the South Korean government; otherwise, the fallen Lee family couldn't possibly have several S-rank talents working for them."
"In a situation where other countries are struggling to protect themselves, the South Korean government needs strong individuals to save themselves!"
"Lee Jong-hee was probably their hope, but the plan failed, leading to even more severe consequences..."
Chen Ye couldn't help asking, "Did Mr. Liu tell you all this?"
Seeing Tang Zichen nod, Chen Ye felt that Mr. Liu was somewhat biased.
He didn't mind.
If he were Mr. Liu, he might also be biased towards Tang Zichen.
After all, many people have placed their hopes and expectations on Tang Zichen...
"Let's catch some more fish today and save them, then go try our luck in the valley ahead tomorrow. It seems to have a heavier yin energy there; maybe there will be more jumping zombies."
Chen Ye said.
Other new student groups would prefer fewer zombies since zombies are harder to kill. Even with two people teaming up against one, it's still full of danger. If there are too many zombies, they would run as far as possible.
Only Chen Ye and Tang Zichen would complain about not having enough zombies.
They knew the zombies' weakness and found killing zombies with a peach wood sword as easy as slaughtering chickens.
So, this was actually all thanks to Chen Ye.
Therefore, Tang Zichen wouldn't oppose Chen Ye's decision and nodded in agreement.
...
In the woods.
Hundreds of people gathered here, yet it didn't seem lively.
This plan was to offend a major country, so all the participants were elites from various countries.
Their goal was to kill in one strike, leaving no survivors.
That way, even if Xia Country knew it was their doing, they couldn't do anything without evidence.
"Has everyone arrived?"
"The people from Canada and North Austria haven't arrived yet. Maybe the transmission location is too far from us."
"Forget them; we have enough people here to dominate the entire secret realm."
"Then, let's do it tonight!"
"That's a good idea, I agree."
"What about the talent of that woman's companion? Have you investigated clearly?"
"Ha! I want to laugh when it comes to this. That woman's companion is actually an idiot who has matched a C-level hero talent!"
"C-level talent? Don't joke around. How is that possible?"
"Absolutely true. We caught a freshman from Wumu University who told us that clown is called Chen Ye, who matched a C-level hero talent, and because of this, he became a laughingstock on the internet."
"Is your information accurate? Wumu University is a prestigious school. How could they let a waste with a C-level hero talent get in?"
"It's because that clown has a powerful father, the president of the Ability Users Association! Daddy used his connections to get his son into Wumu University."
"Even so, how could the most outstanding hero talent choose such a waste as a companion?"
"The prisoner I caught said that although the clown's talent is lacking, he is very handsome and knows how to please women. The target was deceived by the clown and fell in love, making a foolish decision."
"Ha? There's actually such a thing?"
"A foolish woman in love? Ridiculous. Even if we don't take action, I don't believe she can grow to be as strong as Qin."
"No matter if she is truly foolish or not, we must still carry out the plan, even if it's just for our bounty!"
"Exactly! For the bounty, they must die!!"
...
As night falls, the temperature in the secret realm drops rapidly.
The moonlight, coming from nowhere, pierces through the clouds, illuminating the ground and making this place even more eerie.
Tonight, the secret realm seems colder than the previous days.
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, having prepared their campfire early, sit beside it to have their dinner together.
Dinner is, of course, grilled fish! Honestly, after having fish for several days in a row, both of them are somewhat tired of it.
But there's no choice, eating fish is still better than just having wild fruits.
After finishing two fish and a few wild fruits, Chen Ye speaks up, "It's quite cold tonight, class leader, you should rest early."
Tang Zichen nods in response, finding a comfortable position to lie down in.
Through these ten days of constant companionship, the two have completely built trust in each other! Tang Zichen knows that at most, Chen Ye would stare at her face for a few hours after she falls asleep...
He would definitely not take advantage of her!! After Tang Zichen lies down, Chen Ye, having nothing better to do, opens his attribute panel: Name: Chen Ye.
Physique: 267. Spirit: 11. Strength: 269. Agility: 269.
Talent: Saitama Physique.
During his time in the secret realm, Chen Ye has not stopped training, continuing every day without fail.
So, his current attributes are explosive! With such attributes, he could definitely be considered a master in his own right.
'I wonder what level of rating I would get if I went for a power test now with my current strength?'
The strength of ability users globally is divided into six levels, and each level has a detailed set of criteria.
For example, if one follows a pure strength path, then a direct test of punching power would suffice.
A normal person's punch can exert about 100 pounds of force.
Breaking 300 pounds qualifies as a first-order ability user.
Surpassing 500 pounds is considered second-order.
Reaching 1000 pounds makes one third-order.
Third-order is also a watershed.
At third-order, one can be called a master, a talent that all major powers want to recruit.
Chen Ye has never tested his punching power.
However, he knows that his full-force punch definitely far exceeds 1000 pounds! Just then, Tang Zichen, who was about to sleep, suddenly opens her eyes...
