Chapter 50: Social Death Scene
Honestly, Zhong Mengfan, sporting that delighted Shiba Inu emoji smile, really made me feel a bit embarrassed to refuse outright. Besides, it was just a simple request.
I took out my communicator and casually asked, "I've advanced successfully. Do you want any gifts?"
While typing on the screen with his fingers: XX year XX month XX day, sunny, Disciple Link successfully passed the C-class hero promotion exam, congratulations.
He leaned over, ignoring my question, and yelled, "Ah! What a weird way of expressing yourself! It's clearly a happy event, but you've completely destroyed the atmosphere."
"I only know how to write like this, otherwise, forget it." I tried to hope in my heart that Zhong Mengfan would give up the idea of letting me post on WeChat Moments.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhong Mengfan took my communicator and quickly re-edited it with his fingers:
Today is a very happy day~
My most outstanding and proud disciple - Link! Finally succeeded in being promoted and became a C-level hero.
Link, I hope you continue to work hard and become a better and more powerful superhero.
Link, I would be proud of you!
Zhong Mengfan clicked to post it on his Moments almost the moment he finished writing this paragraph, leaving me no room for regret.
Link, Link, Link, it appeared three times in just four sentences. This dense frequency seemed to let everyone in the world know that I have a disciple named Link.
At the same time, he said to me, "No need for gifts, I'll be very happy if I can appear in the first circle of friends of the A-level hero Night Demon! Yay~"
Because of his words, I raised my hand to rub my wrinkled brows, and forced myself to resist the urge to delete the post on my Moments that had a very strange tone and content.
Beep beep!!!
After I posted this on WeChat Moments, my communicator kept ringing.
I took my communicator from Zhong Mengfan and clicked my tongue.
I feel like I'm experiencing a small social death, and I can only comfort myself in my heart. Fortunately, I don't have many friends.
Maybe……
I can quietly set this circle of friends information to be visible only to him when Zhong Mengfan is not paying attention.
But within 5 minutes, this message was liked, copied and forwarded by most of my friends. Now it’s pointless to retract it, I can only try not to pay attention to who is forwarding it.
Green Forest Elf: The account was stolen and forwarded
Sweetheart Warrior: I really want to meet Night Demon, this lovely disciple~!!! Forward
Burning Hunter: Congratulations. Forward
Nebula Chain Hand: Congratulations! Forward
Little Lucky: Congratulations~ Envy
Star Knight: Like and forward
Feidun: Like and forward
Wushuang: You seem to have changed. Like and forward
Ong Bak: Uh, is this posted by me? The tone is a bit wrong... If you are traveling through time, please send 1. Forward
"Oh, Xia Ye, you're really popular! The first post I shared on WeChat Moments already got so many likes and reposts."
I sighed slightly and patted Zhong Mengfan's head as he leaned over to stare at the screen again.
"Oops, you messed up my hair." He turned his head away.
"Oh, right. Xia Ye, this is for you!" Zhong Mengfan took out a rectangular box from his pocket and handed it to me.
I took the box and asked, "Why did you give me a gift after passing the exam?"
"I've said before that I wanted to give you a gift. I originally wanted to use my first month's salary, as that would be more meaningful, but…" He smiled sheepishly, remembering his salary. "Plans change. After I bought it, I thought I'd give it to you on a more special day."
Actually, I don't quite remember Zhong Mengfan saying he wanted to give me a gift. "Well, there's no need to be so formal. Thank you, I accept your kindness."
"Open it quickly and take a look."
"Okay." I opened the box and found a pair of plain glasses inside. The style was nice.
"It took me a long time to choose this one. I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday. But I passed the exam today, and I was so happy that I couldn't help but give the gift to you first. I want to share this joy with you." Having said that, Zhong Mengfan looked at me, the smile on his face widened, and he was full of sunshine.
Infected by this smile, I also smiled and said, "Thank you, you are so thoughtful." At the same time, I took off the mask on my face and put on the glasses he gave me.
He winked at me.
"What's wrong? It doesn't look good."
Zhong Mengfan shook his head. "No, it suits you very well. I was just attracted by the way you smiled at me without the mask on, and I also thought your facial features looked a little different with the glasses on. But if you're not nearsighted, why would you wear glasses?"
I adjusted the glasses on the tip of my nose. "Wearing glasses can make me look more stable and mature." It was necessary when I was a psychological counseling doctor, but now it is not very useful. It's just a habit.
Zhong Mengfan took out the six-pointed star badge representing a C-class hero that he had obtained when he returned the doll from his pocket, took a photo of the badge with the communicator, and edited a message and sent it to his superhero homepage.
Immediately, his communicator sounded a prompt: Your friend Xiao Xingyun liked your post and left a message.
…
The notification sound did not stop, Nebula Chain Hand also liked it, and then some names of superheroes that I didn’t know rang out.
When did this guy get to know so many people?
: Your friend Ong Bak liked your post.
I raised my eyebrows and asked, "When did you and Ong Bak become friends?"
"Um, just now, it was Mr. Ong Bak who took the initiative to add me as a friend. He said that because of you, he wanted to get to know me. Wow~ Because of Xia Ye, I now have an S-class hero among my friends! I feel so honored~"
Zhong Mengfan's fingers quickly replied to the message on the communicator, and at the same time he said to me, "Xiao Xingyun is asking me about the C-rank Hero Exam."
Then he asked me, "Xia Ye, speaking of the exam to be promoted from C-level to B-level, what conditions need to be met?"
Having first passed the junior professional hero exam and now successfully advanced to a C-rank hero, Zhong Mengfan seems to have gained more confidence. He no longer fears the exams and promotions he initially had. He's now more motivated and is actively asking me about the professional hero assessments.
"The requirements for promotion to B-rank are not really an exam."
"Huh"
"It's a cumulative process. Superheroes starting at C-rank will encounter cases involving extraordinary powers and fight criminals who also possess superpowers. In this process, they gain more experience, develop combat awareness, and break through themselves in battle, increasing their strength. Then, naturally, when their strength reaches a certain level, they will become B-rank superheroes who can stand on their own."
I pushed my new glasses up on my nose. "Next, you need to understand the ability the Ranger gave you—the Heart of Justice. If you can use it freely, your strength will continue to grow by leaps and bounds."
Zhong Mengfan: "The heart of justice... After being a professional hero for so long, I still have no idea what it is."
