Chapter 61: I Have a Friend...
"Son, how have you been doing lately?"
"Pretty good... Mom, I heard the reinforcents at the front have started to withdraw. Has Dad co back?"
"Yes, he's back and watching TV right now!"
"That's good."
"What? Missing your Dad? Want to talk to him?"
"Uh... better not!"
"Your Dad was rewarded with so Beast Crystal Fruits for his service this ti. They're good for strengthening the body. I've saved so for you and your brother to have when you co back."
"...Okay, thanks, Mom."
"Silly boy, no need to be polite with ... By the way, son, do any of your classmates want to join the Hero Association?"
"I don't think so at the mont? Last month, our teacher reminded us not to join the Hero Association too early to avoid getting distracted from our studies... Why do you ask, Mom?"
"I just heard your Dad on the phone with a colleague, saying that our province hasn't produced any notable talents or strong individuals this year. If this continues, it might affect your Dad's assessnt by the end of the year..."
Hearing this, Chen Ye understood.
The position of branch president of the Hero Association, although prestigious, cos with its challenges, including performance assessnts similar to political achievents.
Chen Ye thought that even if the assessnt was poor, it probably wouldn't affect Chairman Chen's position too much.
But still, it's not a good influence.
His mother, Yang Rongzhi, then said, "Son, if any of your classmates decide to join, rember to refer them to your Dad's side, okay? Don't worry, if they're your classmates, your Dad definitely won't assign them tasks and definitely won't interrupt their studies."
Chen Ye thought for a mont, then said, "Mom, I have a friend..."
Before he could finish, Yang Rongzhi imdiately asked, "Wait, what friend? A classmate?"
"Not a classmate..."
"Then who? Where did you et them?"
Chen Ye suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He could tell his mother was worried about him making unwise friendships.
"Mom, don't worry, your son isn't foolish. I won't make friends with those kinds of ssy people."
"That's good, rember your words!"
Chen Ye quickly changed the subject: "My friend is quite strong and hasn't joined the association. I'll have him go to Dad's place tomorrow to join. Rember to tell Dad."
Hearing this, Yang Rongzhi beca worried again.
It seems mothers worldwide are the sa when it cos to their children's friendships.
"What kind of person is your friend? He listens to you like that?"
"Uh... not exactly, he himself ntioned last ti that he wanted to join the Hero Association. I'm referring him to Dad's side, I suppose that should carry so weight, right?"
"Oh, is your friend a guy or a girl?"
"A guy."
"What's his na?"
"...Long Aotian!"
This question ca so suddenly that Chen Ye hadn't even thought of a na. In a mont of panic, he recalled the protagonists from the novels he read on Earth in his previous life and blurted out this na.
Moreover, Chen Ye felt that, being as low-profile as he is now, changing identities should be a bit more high-profile to avoid suspicion.
On the phone.
There was a mont of silence.
Then, Yang Rongzhi's voice ca again: "Your friend's na is quite arrogant... Okay, I'll tell your Dad."
She didn't ask Chen Ye about the strength of his friend nad Long Aotian.
Because she felt that given Chen Ye's current stage, the strength of the friends he could make, no matter how strong, couldn't be that significant.
"By the way, Mom, I miss you and Dad. I might as well co back tomorrow to see you both," Chen Ye added.
Yang Rongzhi was about to say that studies co first.
But thinking that it had been three months since she had seen her son and missing him dearly, she changed her mind.
"Okay, son, when will you be ho? I'll make you sothing delicious."
"Probably in the afternoon!"
"Alright, Mom knows."
...
Hang up the phone.
Chen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The friend he just ntioned, "Long Aotian," of course, was himself.
It was him after using Light Body Technique.
Chen Ye was also curious about his current strength and what stage he was at. He could test it properly tomorrow.
It just so happened that he could also help his dad, President Chen, complete so assessnt tasks.
Later.
Chen Ye opened the attribute panel:
Na: Chen Ye.
Constitution: 532.
Spirit: 161.
Strength: 534.
Agility: 534.
Talent: Saitama Constitution.
Assignable potential: 0.
These were Chen Ye's current attributes.
Very explosive.
Even those superhumans with S-level talents might not have such attributes in their lifeti.
And Chen Ye?
From receiving the Saitama Constitution to now, it had only been 93 days...
Saitama Constitution, aweso!
Originally, if each attribute increased by 5 points every day, it would be impossible for Chen Ye's single attribute to exceed 500 points in 93 days.
The major change happened in the past month!
Perhaps because of the hot weather this month, after Chen Ye finished his daily training, he didn't turn on the air conditioner. Surprisingly, it still increased his attributes.
Each single attribute increased by 7 instead of 5 per day.
An additional 2 points.
An extra 2 points in a single attribute per day, for a month, amounted to 60 points.
For Chen Ye, it might not be much.
But for others, it was beyond imagination...
He clenched his fists.
Chen Ye felt his body filled with explosive power.
With just this dormitory in front of him, he was confident he could turn it into ruins with one punch!
"I wonder if my current strength has reached the Fifth Stage or not?"
Later.
Chen Ye opened his phone and began to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning.
...
anwhile.
At Chen's house.
Yang Rongzhi, after finishing the call, ca to the living room and sat next to President Chen.
"My son just called and said he'll take a day off tomorrow to co back and see us, saying he misses us."
Hearing this, President Chen snorted, "This little brat, he does have a bit of conscience."
But there was a smile on his lips.
Yang Rongzhi didn't call out President Chen's tough talk and continued, "Oh, our son also said he'd introduce a friend to us tomorrow, soone who wants to join the Supernatural Abilities Association from your side."
"Is it his classmate?"
"No."
President Chen frowned at this, "With such heavy tasks at Wuhan University, how does he, a student, have friends?"
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. This couple's reaction to their son making friends was identical.
"How would I know? He wouldn't tell either." Yang Rongzhi said, "When the person cos tomorrow, why don't you find out more about him?"
President Chen thought for a mont and asked, "Did that brat ntion his friend's na?"
"Yes, he's called Long Aotian!"
Yang Rongzhi couldn't help but add, "Quite an arrogant na, gives a bad feeling."
President Chen was taken aback.
Indeed, that na was quite arrogant!
He imdiately picked up his phone and made a call.
"Old Qian, hope I'm not disturbing your rest... Haha, it's not just my effort... I have a favor to ask, could you check on soone for ... His na is Long Aotian... What? No such person? Alright, I got it... Sure, I just happen to have a bottle of good wine here, waiting for you to co and drink it when you have ti!"
After hanging up the phone, the faces of the couple beca serious.
