Max Level Three-Pointer! Coach, I Want to Play Basketball!

30 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks.

The scoring breakdown was: 6 two-pointers + 5 three-pointers + 3 free throws.

6*2000+5*3000+3*1000+5*200+5*300+2*500+2*500=34,500 USD.

One decent game—not an outstanding performance by any means—had earned Su Yan 34,500 USD.

The current exchange rate was 6.8.

That came to 234,600 Dragon Kingdom Currency.

He'd made 230,000 from one game. This was freaking... amazing!!!

And that was only the LV1 standard for earning money. At LV2, LV3, or even higher, the rewards would increase further.

He'd make even more then.

Maybe... he could earn a million from an utterly ordinary game without even breaking a sweat?

Gasp...

He was making so much that he didn't even dare think about it.

Basketball, huh~ Now he understood why Chicken Brother loved it so much.

Oh, right.

He also had an LV1 Privilege Gift Pack and a Novice Gift Pack. That meant... every time his level went up, he'd get a privilege gift pack.

Not bad.

With a thought, Su Yan tamped down his excitement and opened both packs.

[LV1 Privilege Gift Pack opened. Reward: Max Level Three-Pointer—a three-point shooting ability surpassing peak Stephen Curry's, with range comparable to Midorima's!!!]

[]

[Novice Gift Pack: Basic Body Enhancement. After enhancement, the host's physical talents and abilities in every area will reach the NBA Average Level.]

[]

In other words,

an NBA-caliber point guard would have decent speed, ball handling, passing, and shooting.

But their strength and rim protection might be lacking.

An NBA-caliber center would have decent defense, rim protection, and shot-blocking.

But their speed, ball handling, and shooting might not measure up.

Su Yan, on the other hand, had it all.

His overall ability was above the NBA Average Level. Add his Max Level Three-Pointer to the mix, and he could definitely become a starter for a team.

His role might be that of an Elite Shooter.

After the system finished speaking,

Su Yan felt a warm current flow through his body, leaving him with a pleasant sensation—but it lasted only a moment.

Then everything returned to normal.

He clenched his fist and felt a distinct increase in strength. He rolled his shoulders and found his body felt lighter, too.

"Not bad."

Su Yan smiled faintly. "This is the NBA. Without a Max Level Three-Pointer and a body like this, earning money would probably be difficult."

Anyone watching him would have noticed the strange confidence radiating from him.

Now that he was capable of playing, there was one other problem... how to get on the court.

Clearly,

before the system enhanced him, Su Yan had been a complete weakling, most likely destined to be a Water Cooler Manager.

Even during Garbage Time,

he might not get a chance to play.

Substitutes like Bill Walker and Larry Hughes were getting up and warming up, preparing to go in.

Su Yan stood up, too, and pretended to stretch as he briskly paced back and forth for twenty steps.

Then he checked the system again.

[Amount: 20 USD]

???

I just walked around, and it actually gave me money?

I suddenly feel like slacking off.

If I walk ten thousand steps a day, I can easily earn ten thousand USD. Why bother playing basketball? Who needs a car?

Couldn't I just take it easy?

I wouldn't be rich, but I'd have more than enough for food and drink. No problem at all.

But then he thought about it again... walking ten thousand steps every day would wear him out, and he'd only earn ten thousand USD. But he could earn three thousand USD just by making one three-pointer.

Suddenly,

he hesitated again.

Might as well go play. The result doesn't matter anyway. Turning down free money would be stupid, wouldn't it?!

With that in mind,

he considered how to get on the court.

Without a second thought, Su Yan raced over to Coach D'Antoni as if his feet were on fire, grabbed him around the leg, and cried,

"Coach, I want to play basketball! Put me in!!!"

Su Yan stared at Coach D'Antoni with utter sincerity. His eyes revealed a desperate longing to play.

They shone with dazzling light.

It was so bright that D'Antoni found it hard to look at him—and even harder to say no.

Come on, was this really necessary?

Did he have to be so sincere? It was a bit much to handle.

Besides, wasn't Garbage Time exactly when Su Yan was supposed to play and help draw attention to the team?

Why else would they have signed him to a ten-day contract?

He was a moneymaker for the team, just like McGrady.

McGrady had the popularity of one of the Four Great Shooting Guards.

Su Yan had his looks and his Dragon Country identity.

As for talent and skill, best not bring those up. Talking about them would only hurt their relationship.

D'Antoni pulled Su Yan to his feet and laughed. "All right, all right. Since Su Yan loves basketball so much,

we have to put you in."

"Thanks, Coach!"

"Tap!"

Afraid D'Antoni might change his mind, Su Yan rushed onto the court the moment the timeout ended.

As soon as he stepped onto the court,

a wave of hushed chatter rose from the stands.

"That Knicks player wearing number seven is... is so handsome!"

"His skin looks so fair! I thought I was pale compared with other girls, but I don't hold a candle to him!"

"He's tall, has great skin, and looks like he's in good shape. And his smile is so sunny!

Wait.

Is he really a basketball player?"

"I love him already!"

"Could he be a male eye candy, brought onto the court specifically to attract girls like us?!"

"You've got it!"

"Now we've got an even better reason to come watch a game at Madison Square Garden!!!"

"..."

The chatter in the front rows was loud. Lots of young women covered their mouths, hearts fluttering.

They were completely captivated by Su Yan's good looks and great physique.

Courtside,

D'Antoni felt the arena suddenly come alive. He folded his arms and smiled. "As expected... this is why we signed Su Yan!"

Su Yan noticed the commotion, too.

He knew full well it had nothing to do with his basketball skills.

This freaking...

So I'm eye candy!!!

As he silently complained to himself, Su Yan never stopped moving his feet, pacing back and forth.

One step earned him one USD. This was easy money.

The game hadn't even started, and only a few dozen seconds had passed.

Su Yan had quietly made 100 USD, equivalent to 680 yuan in Dragon Kingdom Currency.

Work for one minute a day, rake in twenty thousand a month. Who needs a car? Suddenly... Su Yan wanted to take it easy again.

The game began.

There were five minutes left, and the Thunder had their entire bench on the floor. The score difference was twenty points.

The Knicks went on offense.

Larry Hughes dribbled across half court.

Su Yan sprinted up the court, constantly moving to get open. He looked extremely active, but in reality... he was farming money!

USD +1.

USD +1.

USD +1!!!
