Lucky Draw

"Three people? Even after I just taught that Akashi a lesson and showed off my skills in front of Aomine, that's only two people..." Looking at the System's prompt, Ken Kaneki couldn't figure out how the guide's quest was almost halfway done, no matter how much he thought about it.

"Forget it. It is what it is. Let's train first, and I'll claim the prizes when I get home tonight." Ken Kaneki stopped thinking about these trivial matters and threw himself back into training.

Unknowingly, today's training entered its final stage. Ken Kaneki packed his things and started the walk home with Daiki Aomine and the others.

"Hey, hey, Ken-chan, you're amazing~" Satsuki Momoi was unusually chatty today. "That guy with the gray hair couldn't even fight back when you beat him, Ken-kun!"

"Haha, really?" Ken Kaneki chuckled. "Maybe I just train harder. I heard that guy was a delinquent before he joined the Basketball Club, so how could he have had much time to spend on basketball?"

"That's not entirely true, Ken-chan." Atsushi Murasakibara mumbled while eating an ice pop. "That gray-haired guy is indeed stronger than average, but even if he trained hard, he'd only be considered talented. There's no comparison to you, Ken-chan."

"Don't underestimate the power of hard work, Murasakibara," Ken Kaneki said, patting Atsushi Murasakibara's shoulder. "And I think you should train harder. You have so much talent, but you're always so lazy. You'll get your comeuppance one day."

"Yeah, Little Murasakibara, Ken-chan is right," Satsuki Momoi chimed in from the side.

"Hey, Satsuki, you're acting a little strange today," Daiki Aomine said, eyeing Ken Kaneki and Satsuki Momoi suspiciously. "You never called Ken Kaneki that before."

"What are you talking about... You're so annoying, A-Dai." Satsuki Momoi's pretty face flushed slightly, as if her secret had been exposed, and she complained to Daiki Aomine.

"It's fine for Momoi to call me that, Aomine," Ken Kaneki said with a smile, diffusing the situation. "After all, we've been friends for quite a while now, and Momoi calls you A-Dai too, doesn't she?"

"Hmm, while what you're saying makes some sense, something still feels off..." Daiki Aomine wanted to say more, but he didn't know where to start.

"Oh, stop talking, A-Dai. The more you try to explain, the worse it gets. You're making Little Ken... making Ken Kaneki troubled." Fortunately, the darkness concealed it, or everyone would have noticed Satsuki Momoi's ears turning red.

Seeing that it was getting late, the group, chatting and laughing, headed their separate ways.

"I'm home!" Although he knew no one was home, Ken Kaneki still called out into the house. After putting down his schoolbag, he lit two incense sticks at his parents' spirit tablets. "Father, Mother, please bless me from the heavens to become rich!"

"Alright, now it's time for me to draw my prizes!" Ken Kaneki piously bathed and changed, praying that the ancient Greek god of lotteries would favor him for his filial piety and sincerity.

The familiar System interface, the familiar roulette wheel, and the familiar prize pool.

"Let's do a B-rank draw first to test the waters!" Ken Kaneki didn't dare to waste a draw and cautiously tried.

A flash of brilliant light, and it was another unremarkable 2 million yen...

"Not bad, it's a bit more than last time. Luck is on my side!" Ken Kaneki was possessed by a gambler's spirit. "Three consecutive A-rank draws!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the first consecutive three draws, receiving one random badge blind box! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Skill: Dual Blade Style! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gold-grade Badge: Speedster! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Gold-grade Badge: Black Mamba!"

"Skill: Dual Blade Style, Skill Type: Body, Skill Trait: Mirror, Skill Level: A, Skill Effect: Upon acquiring this Skill, the host's left and right hands will gain mirror-like balance. Actions that can be performed by the dominant hand can be perfectly replicated by the non-dominant hand!"

"Badge: Speedster, Badge Type: Body, Badge Trait: Divine Speed, Badge Level: Gold-grade (Growable, Highest Level: Hall of Fame), Badge Effect: Equip this badge, and the host will gain a 10% breakthrough speed bonus."

"Badge: Black Mamba, Badge Type: Skill, Badge Trait: Precision, Badge Level: Gold-grade (Growable, Highest Level: Hall of Fame), Badge Effect: When this badge is equipped, after the host scores three consecutive baskets, starting from the fourth basket, each shot will gain a 10% accuracy bonus, stacking for five consecutive shots. Note: The bonus doubles when facing a double-team of three or more players."

"This is a huge win!" Ken Kaneki's eyes shone so brightly they were almost like camera flashes. "Although the first Skill is a bit niche, the balance between my left and right hands will make my offense on the court more seamless. It's still pretty good. The latter two growable badges are practically like getting two S-rank draws for free!"

Ken Kaneki excitedly picked up his water cup and took a sip, muttering to himself, "While my luck is still holding, I should open the blind box quickly!"

Ding~ As the opening animation ended, a purple badge appeared before Ken Kaneki's eyes.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Hall of Fame-grade Badge: Immense Strength."

"Badge: Immense Strength, Badge Type: Body, Badge Trait: Immense Strength, Badge Level: Hall of Fame, Badge Effect: After equipping this badge, the host will gain a 20% strength bonus during dunks/blocks/post-ups."

If there were a combat power panel at this moment, Ken Kaneki would undoubtedly be the legendary hexagonal warrior. One must know that the legendary Zone allows players to tap into 100% of their potential, which they normally only utilize at 80%. The combat power of players who enter the Zone increases exponentially. However, just the draws tonight have solidified the shallow Zone into Ken Kaneki's normal state.

"From today onwards, I, Ken Kaneki, am also a man who can land critical hits with normal attacks. I owe today's success entirely to my own hard work," Ken Kaneki said emotionally. "System, draw!"

At Ken Kaneki's command, the S-rank prize wheel began to spin with a rumble. Ken Kaneki's heart pounded faster with excitement. With a ding, the last two prizes were revealed.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the S-rank Skill: Zone! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the S-rank Skill: Air Walk!"

"Skill: Zone, Skill Type: Concept, Skill Trait: Overpowered, Skill Level: SS (Growable to SSS-grade), Skill Effect: Upon acquiring this Skill, the host's stamina consumption rate increases by 100%, physical attributes (excluding durability) increase by 50%, and accuracy bonus increases by 50%, making them the most overpowered presence on the court!"

"Skill: Air Walk, Skill Type: Technique, Skill Trait: Godly Skill, Skill Level: S, Skill Effect: The signature Skill of the God of Basketball. Upon acquiring this Skill, the host's vertical leap increases by 20%. When facing defenders in the air, flexibility increases by 20%, coordination increases by 20%, and accuracy bonus increases by 10%."

"This is getting interesting..." Ken Kaneki stroked his chin thoughtfully. "If I enter the Zone first, and then use Air Walk, wouldn't I be invincible?"

No one would know that Ken Kaneki's wild, unconventional idea would create the most legendary moments in basketball history. Including Ken Kaneki himself. Right now, Ken Kaneki's greatest anticipation is the upcoming National Tournament.

Note: Accuracy is a bonus, not an addition. For example, if the base accuracy is 50%, a 50% bonus would be 50% * 1.5 = 75%.
