Chapter 4: Live Broadcast Nationwide
Having listened to the teacher's words, Chen Ye was stunned.
He hadn't expected that this body he occupied had such an impressive father.
No wonder the teacher had looked at him that way.
So, they had high expectations for him?
"Chen Ye, tell honestly, was it your own idea to choose a Level-A hero as your bonding target, or was it your father's?" the teacher asked.
If Chen Ye's decision was influenced by his father, the teacher certainly wouldn't dare to interfere too much.
"It was... my own idea."
Chen Ye chose to be honest.
Upon hearing this, the teacher imdiately said, "That's simply reckless! I believe your father would never agree with you choosing a Level-A hero as your bonding target!"
"Listen to my advice, the talent of the S3 hero is your best choice, understand?"
Chen Ye, still unclear about the whole situation and adhering to the principle of 'the less said the better', replied noncommittally: "Teacher, I understand."
The teacher showed a relieved smile: "I believe in you. As the son of a war hero, you will surely succeed in bonding!"
With these words, the teacher noticed so school leaders approaching and hurriedly went to greet them.
Chen Ye also headed to the playground to join the other students.
...
The playground was set up with a temporary stage, and nurous TV station staff were busy setting up caras for the live broadcast.
The students started discussing among themselves upon seeing this.
"Wow, it's really going to be broadcast nationwide?"
"What's wrong with a live broadcast? If it gets popular, we'll be famous all over the country!"
"That's nonsense! My original bonding target was a Level-B hero. Now with the national broadcast, how can I choose a Level-B hero without feeling embarrassed?"
"Don't overthink it. What's more important, temporary face or future prospects? This is a once-in-a-lifeti chance to change your destiny. I'm going for a Level-B hero regardless."
"We've never had a live broadcast in previous years. Why did it have to be our turn this year?"
"Do you think if soone daringly chooses to bond with a Level-C hero during the live broadcast, they will beco famous nationwide?"
"Wow, you really dare to think! If soone really does that, wouldn't they beco a national joke? They might even tarnish our school's reputation and get their legs broken when they get ho!"
Hearing these discussions, Chen Ye's mouth twitched.
He could already imagine the scenario he would face after choosing to bond with a Level-C hero...
Despite this, Chen Ye didn't plan to change his mind.
The physique of the Bald Demon King was too tempting.
Not only was his strength unmatched, but his defense, speed, and other attributes were also invincible. He was essentially a warrior with no weaknesses.
Even if he really beca a national laughingstock, it was worth it for the physique of the Bald Demon King.
After all, in three years, when he becos truly invincible, he will show the world who the real fool is!
At that mont.
The live broadcast equipnt was set up.
Several dignified officials ca onto the stage carrying a large box.
Inside the box was a black jade stone emitting a mysterious glow.
The students whispered among themselves upon seeing it:
"That must be the Hero teorite, right?"
"Yes, it's said to have fallen from outer space decades ago. Because it can bond heroes and grant human beings supernatural abilities, it was nad the Hero teorite."
"It's an incredible object, wonder where in the universe it ca from."
"How many Hero teorites are there in total? Are there enough to go around?"
"All I know is that when they first fell from the sky, there were only thirteen large pieces, divided among thirteen countries. Later, it was found that large pieces could be split into smaller ones without losing their functionality. So, how many there are now is probably only known to those in power."
"They must be very precious."
"Yes! There are still many small countries without Hero teorites. They have to pay big countries to borrow them every year."
Hearing these discussions, Chen Ye learned about the origin and evolution of the Hero teorite.
Looking at the black jade stone on the stage, Chen Ye was astonished.
He strongly suspected that this object might have originated from a divine being from Earth...
Otherwise, it was hard to explain how the superhero talents from an ani could appear in the real world and be acquired by humans.
Chapter 4: Nationwide Live Broadcast
At nine in the morning, the hero talent bonding ceremony officially began.
The principal took the stage and delivered a long and clichéd speech filled with platitudes, leaving the students drowsy and disinterested.
anwhile, the live broadcast had already started.
People from all over the country tuned into the official live broadcast room upon receiving the news.
"Good morning, LSPs (Live Stream Peepers)!"
"I'm first, I'm the first!"
"Nobody's taking my spot as the first!"
"Missing person alert: My son, who loves to shout 'first', has gone missing. If you see him, tell him to co and recognize his dad."
"Looking for a husband! I'm a slightly plump fairy, 150cm tall and 80kg, seeking a handso guy over 180cm tall, who has bonded with at least an A-level hero talent, to form a perfect family."
"Tank above, this is a live broadcast room, not a place for your wild wishes, okay?"
"Any guys wanna chat? Add on WeChat 138XXX..."
"Strange, why is the hero talent bonding suddenly being broadcast live this year? It wasn't broadcast in previous years!"
"Indeed, it's odd. Last year they said they wouldn't broadcast it to protect the privacy of the students!"
"Maybe there's so big move from the higher-ups?"
...
At 9:20 am, the principal finally finished his speech to a round of perfunctory applause and stepped down from the stage.
The test finally officially began.
The head teacher followed, holding a list and began calling out nas.
"Let's start with Class 1... Zhou Wei."
A tall boy nad Zhou Wei, upon hearing his na, walked up to the stage full of anticipation.
Guided by the staff, he first sat on a chair, which was actually an energy monitoring device. If Zhou Wei successfully bonded, it would detect energy fluctuations, and the indicator light would emit a glow.
White light indicated a C-level hero, blue for B-level, yellow for A-level, and red for S-level.
Next, Zhou Wei placed his hand on the nearby Hero teorite.
The mont his hand touched the teorite, the boy nad Zhou Wei imdiately slumped as if falling asleep.
About 30 seconds later, Zhou Wei regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
Disappointnt filled his eyes.
The indicator light on the chair had not reacted at all...
Clearly, he had failed to bond with a hero.
"Zhou Wei, bonding failure!" announced the test administrator rcilessly.
With his failure broadcasted to all his classmates and the live stream cara directly focused on him, Zhou Wei's eyes reddened imdiately. Feeling humiliated, he ran down from the stage awkwardly.
Seeing this scene, the students didn't mock him. Instead, they all beca more nervous.
After all, bonding with a hero, unless it's a C-level hero, entirely depends on luck.
The success of the bonding isn't sothing one can control.
Zhou Wei failed.
And soon, it would be their turn.
...
In the live broadcast room, the reactions were quite different...
"Haha, just as I expected, this guy failed."
"Of course he'd fail! Bonding with a hero isn't that easy."
"True, the success rate for bonding with heroes, apart from C-level, is pretty low. Yet, C-level heroes are useless waste. It's a tough choice."
"The success rate for bonding with B-level heroes is not bad, except for B1, the female hero. The rest have a success rate close to half. This guy probably aid too high, maybe choosing an A-level or even S-level hero!"
"Thinking of bonding with an S-level hero? Haha, those who can bond with S-level heroes are the chosen lucky ones! He should have been realistic."
"The guy already feels miserable from failing, and here you are, taking joy in his misfortune. Isn't that a bit an?"
