Chapter 0002: The Joy of the Little Overlord is Boundless
Ability evaluation D-
Sun Ce was a "heavenly calamity lone star" in his previous life. From childhood to adulthood, he hardly enjoyed life until the age of 27. In this life, with a decent family background, he certainly wants to enjoy himself well.
Name: Sun Ce
Seeing the basketball in the corner of the gym covered in dust, Sun Ce reminisced about his university days when he was also part of the department team. Of course, while his skills were not bad, they could hardly be considered good.
Sun Ce did not place the envelope and other items into his backpack, but instead put them in the inner pocket of his coat, alongside his wallet
Temporarily setting aside the unfortunate feeling brought about by "kidney deficiency," Sun Ce quickly turned to look at the scene.
Alas... reminiscing about the past, I was also the leader of the team back then...
This gym has probably not been used for the past seven or eight months... In Sun Ce's memory, since renting this place in August of last year, it seems that this gym has not been touched.
Just like in the "previous life," after graduating from university and finding a job, I spend my days aimlessly, uncertain about what the future holds. Even after crossing over, it remains the same; I have no idea what I am supposed to do in the future. For now, I will take one step at a time and see how it goes
Even if I were to travel through time and have the opportunity to play a game in the NBA, I have never considered it in that direction
Sun Ce looked at the standalone two-story villa, which also featured a small garden and a half-sized basketball court, far more extravagant than he had imagined
As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking to himself, the system interface switched to the "Trigger Event" screen, which displayed only one trigger event name
Occupation: Student, a freshman at the main campus of the University of Phoenix.
However, after the system received Sun Ce's heartfelt message and opened the task interface, there were only four characters inside
... ...
The evaluation of the Basketball Overlord system ranges from grade S to grade F, with each grade further divided into (+), Normal, and (-)
The first encounter with the NBA
1. Begin a brand new life 2. Enjoy the present
At the very least, one should study whether this system poses any dangers before considering the question of acceptance or rejection, yet merely expressing a complaint is regarded as acceptance
Sun Ce went to the gym and it seemed that the equipment inside had hardly been used, all covered in dust
Sun Ce did not find it too difficult to accept; having already accepted time travel, this matter is indeed not hard to accept
Age: 19 years, Date of Birth: January 7, 1990
Given that things have come to this point, why not enjoy the life of a new beginning
Sun Ce looked at the detailed information next to his photo and said, "Is this my system evaluation? No specialties? Do I not have a single advantage? Physical condition...
It must be said that in basketball, being tall makes a difference; the angle between the line of sight and the hoop is much flatter, and shooting resembles throwing objects more closely, which is significantly more favorable in terms of sensory experience
Just this one
What is this? You will know once you open it. Just as Sun Ce thought of this, the system interface switched.
However, Sun Ce now has a question
Sun Ce is at a loss for words
The system has two categories: tasks and trigger events, which should come with some rewards... Sun Ce was speculating about the galaxies related to the system, "But what if there are conditions in the tasks that lead to death if not completed... No way, I just became a rich second generation. Although I am merely a pot second generation, at least I can be considered wealthy... But if there are any benefits..."
Sun Ce returned to the living room holding a basketball, having been in a daze for over ten hours since waking up in the middle of the night last night. Now he finally has the realization that he has crossed over.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, the text on the "screen" changed again, and there were also detailed explanations with charts and images.
The following is an evaluation of Sun Ce
What is the situation? Give me some hints! Let's take a look at the triggering events...
Technical Rating C - : Ball Control C - , Passing C
Upon seeing this line, Sun Ce's first reaction was: "Isn't the Little Overlord endlessly joyful?"
A very simple ability evaluation, consisting of only three categories, yet it encompasses all aspects of basketball, which Sun Ce easily understood
Let us first take a look at the capability assessment
The body is the capital for pursuing women... No, it is the capital for revolution; one must train the body well...
Watching the three dots on the screen that appeared and disappeared like "System Installation", Sun Ce sat on the sofa waiting, unsure of what to do, and could only wait idly.
Sun Ce unconsciously recited it
Physical fitness C-...... with D and F as the baseline, it doesn't seem particularly poor, speed is A + ?
Shooting evaluation: D- for free throws, F for three-pointers, D- for mid-range shots, C+ for layups
Hello, hello, hello... I was just saying it casually! Sun Ce was startled!
Kidney Qi deficiency? What a ridiculous thing! I have transmigrated into someone with kidney deficiency? Damn! I haven't enjoyed a single day, and now I'm already kidney deficient? How can a grown man be kidney deficient and still be a man?
Sun Ce seemed to be reminiscing about the past, walking over to prepare to pick up the ball and throw it again
Putting down his backpack, Sun Ce found a pump in the small locker inside the gym. He inflated the ball, took off his jacket, and went to the half-court basketball court in the yard. He dribbled the ball and threw it out
"Basketball Overlord System? Is this about playing basketball?" Sun Ce was puzzled
The host may choose whether to accept the event: a stunning performance
He is mentally prepared to see phrases like "Task Failed Erased"
A sudden image appeared, flickering incessantly, which was indeed quite frightening. Sun Ce did not know what would happen; he was not even scared by the time travel. The girl on the bed was merely startled for a moment.
Do you wish to experience a more exciting life? Are you unwilling to settle for the ordinary?
Weight: 80 kilograms
At this moment, Sun Ce's personal information was displayed, and after Sun Ce had finished reading it, the scene switched.
The host is required to go to the Phoenix Convention Center for a tryout before April 12, 2009, in collaboration with the Phoenix Suns to complete this showcase
... ...
... ... ''
However, the suddenly appearing "screen" in front of him kept flickering, causing Sun Ce's heart to feel uneasy
However, I am not at all accustomed to the strength of my body; the feeling of shooting is fantastic, but using the same shooting habit as in my "previous life," the ball ended up hitting the neck of the rim
It seems that both options are quite good, neither devaluing the present moment nor inducing any particular feeling. Indeed, life is about the choices one makes... However, how should one choose? I would rather be induced a little; these two options are essentially indistinguishable, as they both represent a new life for me!
Height: 190 centimeters
Physical condition: depleted by indulgence in wine and lust, insufficient kidney energy, mild injuries to the waist, back, and legs
Curiosity kills the cat, but it is also an essential quality for successful individuals. Sun Ce understood this as well. After pondering for a moment, Sun Ce decided to take a look at the task list.
Basketball Overlord System is starting up ... ...
I remember the rent is 1,000 dollars a month? That amounts to around six to seven thousand yuan a month? This is too extravagant! It's as if money means nothing to them! This guy's parents are too indulgent; my son is wasting money like this, I must teach him a lesson.
Although it is not a large villa, it has 4 rooms and 5 bathrooms, a gym, and a small garage, which contains a second-hand car
Returning to the rental house located in the suburbs from memory, which is quite different from the living environment that this body had become accustomed to, Sun Ce felt that the "dilapidated house" in this memory, which he had "greatly wanted to replace," was somewhat exaggerated
If this system had not emerged, after Sun Ce discovered his "kidney deficiency," he would certainly have chosen to exercise some restraint and take good care of his health However, it seems that once kidney deficiency occurs, it is quite difficult to fully recover from it
The text on the screen has changed, presenting two options
Having a good family background, Sun Ce desires to live a good life
Sun Ce felt that this was entirely based on his originally good physical condition. During his high school years in the country, he played basketball quite well. Even though he has now been drained by indulgence in alcohol and pleasures, he still has a physical fitness rating of C-. This can truly be considered impressive! From the introduction to the system's evaluation method, Sun Ce saw that a C level is already the average level for NBA players.
Basic information, ability evaluation, triggering events, current tasks ... ... How many sections are still not activated? '' Sun Ce pondered the options displayed on the screen and gained an understanding of some fundamental aspects of the Little Overlord.
He has finished reviewing the basic information and capability assessment, yet he did not find any introduction regarding the so-called "new life," nor did he come across a single warning that would dismiss it with a phrase like "if it is not satisfactory, then..."
However, the good thing about this life is that there is a fallback option. If things do not work out, I can always return to my home country to "inherit the family business" and become a hot pot restaurant owner. That sounds quite good.
When Sun Ce is complaining, the first option in the choices turns red, and the screen begins to flicker
The screen flickered for a long time
Unable to resist, I walked over and picked up the ball, disregarding the dust on it
Sun Ce felt as if the sky was about to collapse
As he walked up to the basketball, Sun Ce bent down to pick it up. Just as he reached out his hand, a screen-like image appeared before him, displaying a line of text.
First Encounter with the NBA: Due to the English spelling of the host's surname being the same as that of the Suns, the Suns' management selected the host from 73,379 applicants to be an experiencer of the 'Community Care Activity'
Although he enjoys basketball, he has never considered achieving anything through playing the sport
Special skills: None
Physical Fitness C - : Speed A + , Strength D - , Endurance D - , Jumping C -
Is this what is referred to as the benefits of time travel
No tasks available
Is this how rental properties are in America
A line of text appeared before me
Yet the system is right before him, and he has also "chosen" a "new life". Sun Ce is now somewhat at a loss about what to do next, uncertain of what will happen next.
As soon as this thought emerged in Sun Ce's mind, the system interface switched, displaying a row of annotations at the top
Sun Ce does not intend to accept, at least not to accept immediately; it would be much better to honestly live as a small wealthy second generation.
I often go to a gym near the school, purely for the purpose of meeting girls
