Chapter 174: Breaking the Limiter! Chen Ye's Surprise

Chapter 174: Breaking the Limiter! Chen Ye's Surprise

In Tang Zichen's dormitory.

Chen Ye was having a private meal with Tang Zichen. Four dishes and a soup! For two people, it was already quite a feast.

At the moment, the two were discussing a topic related to the Time-Space Management Bureau.

"Chen Ye, there's been a lot of talk online these past few days about an organization targeting us in Secret Realm No. 5," Tang Zichen asked. "It's called the Time-Space Management Bureau. Did you encounter them?"

Chen Ye nodded and said, "Yes, right after you left, the Time-Space Management Bureau people came looking for me."

"I've seen online that the Time-Space Management Bureau holds a lot of hostility toward us travelers. Almost every city's bureau seems to be trying to drive us out early, by any means necessary, right?" Tang Zichen inquired.

"That's correct," Chen Ye replied and asked, "Has this situation blown up?"

"Yes, it's been trending for two or three days."

At that moment, Chen Ye finished his bowl of rice. Tang Zichen proactively took Chen Ye's bowl, offering to refill it with a smile.

"You should check your phone later. In some cities, the Time-Space Management Bureau went too far, tricking people into the wilderness and then sending in the military to force them out with weapons."

"Really?"

Chen Ye was surprised.

Tang Zichen handed him a full bowl of rice and said, "Finish eating, then take a look online."

Chen Ye nodded, took the bowl from her, and started eating heartily again.

A short while later, most of the food on the table had ended up in Chen Ye's stomach. After finishing his meal, Chen Ye lounged on the sofa, took out his phone, and started browsing the internet.

Sure enough, the trending news was filled with discussions about the changes in Secret Realm No. 5.

"Time-Space Management Bureau, screw you!"

"I used to think secret realms were like game dungeons, with set patterns and rules. Now, it's clear they're nothing like that!"

"Haha, you must be new here. Once you get further into the secret realms, you'll realize each one is a real world!"

"Damn it, what rotten luck! Why did it have to be when I entered Secret Realm No. 5 that this kind of nonsense happened?"

"With the Time-Space Management Bureau now actively targeting travelers in Secret Realm No. 5, the difficulty has skyrocketed! Keeping it ranked as No. 5 is ridiculous."

"Did everyone who went into Secret Realm No. 5 get wiped out? Did anyone manage to last until the fifth day?"

"No way! Under the targeting of that cursed Time-Space Management Bureau, anyone who lasted three days is a tough one!"

"Holy crap!!! Latest news, Goddess Tang and her pretty boy lasted until the seventh day and got the extra reward!"

"??? For real? Are you just making this up?"

"Screw you! I got the secret realm notification this morning. It's already the 7th, so that means Goddess Tang just got out of the realm."

"I got the notification too. Goddess Tang is amazing."

"Wait... I don't get it. Did the Time-Space Management Bureau just overlook her? How did she last until the seventh day?"

"Is it possible that Goddess Tang is so strong that even the Time-Space Management Bureau couldn't handle her?"

As the discussion progressed, the focus shifted to Tang Zichen. Now, many people knew that either Tang Zichen or Chen Ye had lasted until the seventh day. Otherwise, the secret realm wouldn't have issued the notification today.

And everyone instinctively believed that the person who made it to the seventh day must be Tang Zichen! In their minds, it was always Tang Zichen who created miracles.

As for Chen Ye? Even with fire-based superpowers, they just saw him as someone tagging along for the ride.

Netizens marveled at Tang Zichen's achievement. Even the Time-Space Management Bureau couldn't take her down…

Seeing the comments online, Chen Ye just smiled. This was the outcome he had deliberately orchestrated! He had hidden in the background, letting Tang Zichen attract all the attention. He didn't care about mere fame.

However, Tang Zichen felt quite uncomfortable. Because she was also reading the comments on her phone. Seeing all the praise, she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. The real hero had always been the person everyone overlooked…

"Chen Ye, are you really planning to let me take all the credit for your achievements?"

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Ye laughed and said, "Besides, we'll be family soon, so it doesn't matter to me."

Hearing those words, Tang Zichen blushed for the first time.

Chen Ye smiled, stood up, and said, "Class monitor, I'll head back now. I guess after being cooped up in the dorm for a few days, you must be eager to hit the training room. I won't hold you back any longer."

...

After leaving Tang Zichen's dormitory, Chen Ye didn't return immediately. Instead, he headed to the solo training room and deliberately controlled his speed, taking over 20 minutes to complete a 10-kilometer run. He still had to finish his workout for the day!

Once he completed the run, Chen Ye packed up his things and left, deciding to finish the rest of his routine elsewhere.

When he returned to his dorm room, he drew the curtains and began his exercises. The dorm was small, but just enough for him to move around. Except for the long run, exercises like 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats could easily be done inside the dorm.

The reason Chen Ye split up his workout was because Qin Muyin had previously guessed his secret, which made Chen Ye more cautious. He decided to proceed more discreetly from now on to avoid raising any suspicion.

After completing all the exercises in Saitama's training routine, Chen Ye immediately noticed something unusual!

Name: Chen Ye

Physique: 2704

Spirit: 854

Strength: 2704

Agility: 2704

Talent: Saitama Physique

Available Potential: 190

These were Chen Ye's current stats.

Chen Ye remembered very clearly that before finishing Saitama's training, his Physique, Strength, and Agility were all at 2694.

But now, after just one round of training, each of those stats had increased by 10 points!

Chen Ye was astonished.

When he first got Saitama's physique, completing the daily training would increase a single stat by 5 points. Later, as the weather got hotter and he trained without air conditioning, the increase went up to 7 points.

Now, it had jumped to 10 points.

Chen Ye was ecstatic.

At this rate, his stats would increase by 3,650 points per year!

In three years, he would be absolutely unbeatable.

He might even break the limiter.

At the same time, Chen Ye was certain of one thing: during the hot months when he trained without air conditioning, that was when his attributes grew the fastest.

With this realization, Chen Ye was overjoyed.

After taking a shower, he lay down contentedly and started playing on his phone.

By the time evening rolled around, news of Tang Zichen and Chen Ye lasting until the seventh day in Secret Realm No. 5 and earning the extra reward had spread across the entire internet.

After all, everyone was already aware that Secret Realm No. 5 had undergone significant changes, including the appearance of an official organization specifically targeting travelers.

Who would have thought that under such harsh conditions, the two of them would still perform so well?
