The next day, the sky was clear and the breeze gentle.

Dorm 104.

As usual, Ma Zhong was the first to wake up.

Then he woke Lin Fan, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi.

That morning was a mathematics major course. The Old Professor's teaching style was rather old-fashioned and dull.

As though listening to a lullaby, Lin Fan lay on the desk and fell asleep directly.

Oddly enough, Lin Fan felt that sleeping with his head on the desk during class was more comfortable, more peaceful, and more satisfying than sleeping in the dorm—or even in a presidential suite.

Perhaps that was one of the benefits of choosing to attend school in the first place? At noon, while eating in the cafeteria, Lin Fan's phone gave a slight vibration.

12:00.

The red packet appeared.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have received 5 yuan." "Ding! Congratulations, you have received 3,000 yuan." ... "Ding! Congratulations, you have received Expert-level Calligraphy." "Ding! Congratulations, you have received 10,000 yuan." "Ding! Congratulations, you have received a Skill Level Up Card."

Today's red packets had given Lin Fan over 50,000 yuan in total.

He did not care about that at all.

Lin Fan immediately focused his attention on Expert-level Calligraphy and the Skill Level Up Card.

Expert-level Calligraphy: Possesses the ability to write beautiful handwriting, adding quite a bit of charm.

In the past, Lin Fan had put considerable effort into trying to develop good handwriting.

However, the results had been far from satisfactory.

Now that he could easily obtain Expert-level Calligraphy, he was naturally overjoyed.

Skill Level Up Card: Can raise the level of one skill. Master deeper and more profound skills, making people endlessly fascinated.

Raise the level of one skill?

Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly.

Skills: Professional-grade Car Driving Technique, Charm Halo (5% chance of triggering love at first sight, Deeply Imprinted), Violent Aesthetics, Drinking Gentleman, Absolute Focus (5% chance of triggering Flash of Inspiration), Professor-level Mathematics Experience, Eye of Truth, Professional Basketball Technique, Professional-level Piano Performance, Expert-level Calligraphy.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, but he did not immediately choose a skill to upgrade.

After all, every one of these skills was excellent.

If he could upgrade all of them, Lin Fan would naturally be overjoyed.

But since he could only choose one, he had to think it over carefully.

At that moment, Song Yi beside him said, "Brother Fan, I've arranged to play basketball with a few friends again this afternoon. Want to come have some fun with us?"

Lin Fan had already slept enough that morning, so playing some basketball and getting a little exercise sounded pretty good.

Thus, he nodded. "Sure."

Song Yi's face lit up with joy.

After lunch, Lin Fan and Song Yi arrived at the basketball court.

By then, Big Black Guy and three unfamiliar men in basketball jerseys had already been waiting there.

When Big Black Guy saw Lin Fan, he hurried over, flashing a mouthful of white teeth as he said happily, "Brother Fan, you came to play basketball too!"

As he spoke, Big Black Guy moved to give Lin Fan a bear hug.

But when Lin Fan saw the sweat stains on him, he immediately dodged to the side and nodded warily. "Just playing some basketball and getting some exercise."

Big Black Guy was not upset that Lin Fan had avoided him. He still wore a broad smile as he said, "Exercise is good. Life lies in movement!"

Then, he pointed at the three men in jerseys and said, "They're from the school basketball team."

Next, Big Black Guy called out, "I'm familiar with Brother Fan and Song Yi, so let's not split into random teams. The three of us will be one team."

The three men in jerseys were slightly stunned.

The tall man wearing the number four jersey asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

After all, the three of them were members of the school basketball team.

They had even participated in the college basketball league before.

Moreover, the three of them had played basketball with Song Yi and Big Black Guy in the past, and knew that their skills were very average.

And yet they wanted to form a team against the three of them? Were they asking to be crushed?

Big Black Guy said, "Of course I'm sure! Alright, let's start already. Song Yi and Lin Fan still have a class this afternoon."

The three exchanged glances and slowly nodded.

Since he was asking to be humiliated, they would gladly oblige him.

However, they soon realized they had been wrong.

Once the street basketball game began, whenever Big Black Guy and Song Yi got the ball, they passed it straight to Lin Fan whenever they had the chance.

And Lin Fan did not disappoint them. Dribbling, feints, jump shots, three-step layups... he was proficient in everything.

In order to contain Lin Fan, they even assigned two people to defend him.

Yet it was still useless.

Lin Fan always found an opening, made the shot, and scored! Basketball truly was a physically demanding sport.

Before long, Lin Fan and the others were all drenched in sweat.

The few of them panted heavily, about to take a short break.

At that moment, two beautiful figures appeared beneath the hoop, smiling brightly.

They were the twin beauties in red and blue long dresses.

Each of them held a bottle of Mizone, looking at Lin Fan with eager anticipation.

Lin Fan froze for a moment and asked, "Are these for me?"

The twin beauties nodded repeatedly.

Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He opened one bottle of Mizone and took a big gulp.

After hesitating for a moment, he opened the other bottle as well and took another big gulp.

Sure enough, the twin beauties' faces blossomed with unconcealable smiles. Their tiny rice-grain-sized canine teeth peeked in and out of sight, making them adorably cute.

Then, Lin Fan secretly used the Eye of Truth to observe the two of them.

Girl in the blue dress.

Attractiveness: 95 Affection: 99

Girl in the red dress.

Attractiveness: 95 Affection: 99

Ever since adding the twin beauties on WeChat, Lin Fan had never taken the initiative to message them.

Likewise, the twin beauties had never messaged Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had thought their affection would gradually decrease.

Yet, to his surprise, it was still 99!

What exactly was going on?

When Lin Fan returned to the court, Big Black Guy walked over and said with a smile, "What did I tell you? These twins have been hanging around the basketball court with Mizone in their hands these past few days."

"So they were waiting for Brother Fan!"

"As expected of Brother Fan. Awesome!" After saying that, Big Black Guy quietly gave him a thumbs-up.

Hearing this, Lin Fan froze again.

The twin beauties had been waiting for him at the basketball court with Mizone these past few days?

This...

Didn't they have his WeChat? If they wanted to see him, couldn't they have just sent him a message? At that moment, Song Yi, standing in the distance, called out, "Lin Fan, catch!"

The streetball game began again.

Lin Fan was the absolute core of Song Yi's team, constantly running, dribbling, and driving for layups...

If it had been an ordinary person, even with basketball skills similar to Lin Fan's, they would have been exhausted by now.

But Lin Fan seemed not to have expended any energy at all. He remained as steady as ever.

In fact, as time passed, Lin Fan became even more focused, and his basketball skills improved along with it.

The basketball team, on the other hand, was completely different.

In order to defend Lin Fan, they steadily drained their stamina as time went on.

With one side growing stronger and the other weaker, the outcome was easy to predict.

In the end, after nearly two hours of street basketball, the basketball team had scored only eight baskets.

Lin Fan's team, meanwhile, had scored thirty-three.

A crushing defeat! An absolute slaughter! For the first time, the three members of the basketball team understood what despair felt like.
