LV2 Privilege Gift Pack: [Off-ball Movement LV1]!

Mapo Tofu, Twice Cooked Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Pickled Cabbage Fish, Chili Chicken, Dongpo Pork Knuckle, Water Boiled Beef, and more.

In total, they ordered twenty dishes.

This restaurant's portions were pretty generous.

Too much?

No, no, no—never underestimate any NBA player's appetite. These guys... can pack away more than you'd imagine.

For drinks, there was Budweiser beer and 375ml bottles of Sudihan Private Reserve Champagne.

Su Yan raised a glass of champagne and opened with a smile: "Cheers to this insanely satisfying game-winner.

Hope.

In the days ahead, we can all fight together, win more games, and play up to our own value!"

"Hell yeah!"

"Second that, Su Yan!"

Everyone clinked glasses and dug into the feast.

Eating the spicy, numbing Sichuan dishes, washing them down with ice-cold beer, and reliving tonight's unbelievable comeback and game-winner.

This feeling... felt damn good!

Eating, drinking, shooting the breeze—back and forth, they carried on for over two hours, all the way until past one in the morning.

Full and satisfied.

Su Yan, who wasn't shy at the table and had a way with words, had already blended in with everyone on his very first day.

Seeing that everyone was just about done.

Su Yan got up to settle the bill at the front counter.

David Lee also stood up, smiling: "Su Yan, I'll go with you."

"Sure."

Su Yan didn't think much of it.

The two of them walked to the counter together.

The pretty young lady at the register handed over the check.

Twenty dishes, averaging about 60 USD each, came to a total of 1,200 USD—didn't seem too expensive at first glance.

But if you converted it to Dragon Kingdom Currency.

That meal cost over 8,000 yuan, which was genuinely steep.

Of course... dishes from home are always pricier abroad, and on top of that, this was Madison Square Garden, basically tourist-area dining.

Plus, the portions were generous.

So the price was actually reasonable.

The real expense was in the drinks.

Everyone had a good capacity and a taste for it—they went through three cases of Budweiser and twenty bottles of Sudihan Private Reserve Champagne.

The Budweiser wasn't bad, 60 USD a case, and the twenty bottles of Sudihan Private Reserve were 500 USD each.

The young lady said politely: "Two gentlemen, the total is 11,380 USD. Will that be card or cash?"

"Tch..."

David Lee winced. "Over ten thousand USD for one meal—that's really not cheap.

That champagne sure wasn't cheap."

David Lee was a genuine rich kid, and he immediately recognized the hefty price tag on the champagne.

Even if it was far from top-tier bubbly.

Still, this was just an ordinary team dinner, and dropping over ten thousand USD in one go stung no matter what.

"Su Yan, let me handle it. You're the new guy—how could we let you treat us? This one's on me!"

David Lee said with a laugh, pulling out a bank card.

He'd come along specifically to pay.

With so many people here, letting a 19-year-old undrafted rookie who'd only signed a short-term contract foot the bill.

That wouldn't do.

Besides... this meal really wasn't cheap.

"No worries. I said it's my treat—how could I let you pay? And it's only a little over ten thousand, not that expensive."

Su Yan waved his hand, pushing David Lee's card-holding hand down, and handed his own card to the young lady. "Charge it, please."

"Of course, sir."

The young woman at the front desk politely took the card, settled the bill, and handed back the bank card along with the receipt.

"Sir, here is your receipt. Please keep it safe. Thank you for your patronage, and welcome back anytime!!!"

"Okay, thank you."

Su Yan took the card and receipt, offering a word of thanks in return.

If you find this book good, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Only... over ten thousand?

Listen, is that something a person should say?

This was just an ordinary post-game dinner, aye wei, this is really expensive.

To be honest, when I was Su Yan's age, inviting a group of people I'd only known for less than a day—I really wouldn't have been willing to spend this much money.

This is truly generous.

How to put it... his family must have a mine.

"Let's go, call everyone back to rest."

Su Yan, who had spent over ten thousand USD, waved his hand, returning to the private room amidst lighthearted conversation, as if he had only swiped a hundred or so USD, completely unconcerned.

David Lee followed behind.

His favorable impression of Su Yan rose once again.

Generous, talkative, and easy to get along with—it's hard for most people not to like a player like that.

"Tonight we just ate a little something, and it was a bit rushed. I might not have hosted well, so please bear with me!

Next time, I'll treat everyone to even better Dragon Country cuisine."

Inside the private room.

Su Yan said with a smile.

"Not at all. Tonight's dishes were both spicy and delicious, and the champagne tasted great too. I'm very satisfied!" Duhong said with a laugh.

Gallinari rubbed his bulging, full stomach and chuckled as well: "Thanks for the hospitality, Su Yan. I'm a bit embarrassed, really!"

"Su Yan is too polite."

After the meal, everyone had grown more familiar. Between men, there's no need for so many rules and formalities—just a few simple pleasantries.

They all walked out with arms draped over each other's shoulders.

Each went to their own home, each to find their own mother.

Larry Hughes and David Lee still needed to go back to the Locker Room to grab some things, so the two returned together.

On the way.

Larry Hughes asked: "Earlier, I saw you and Su Yan go settle the bill together. This meal must have cost a lot, right?

At least 2 to 3 thousand USD.

Having a rookie treat us like this isn't really appropriate. Let's make it up to him a bit tomorrow."

"2 to 3 thousand?"

David Lee shot Larry Hughes a look. "You're thinking too little. This meal cost over eleven thousand USD."

"Tsk..."

Larry Hughes twitched the corner of his mouth after hearing that. "Wait, just a simple post-game dinner cost this much?!"

"Yeah."

David Lee nodded. "Those 20 bottles of champagne were expensive. They alone ran up ten thousand USD."

"Shit bro!"

Larry Hughes was taken aback. "It's not that over ten thousand USD is a huge amount of money, but it's the nature of this meal.

Su Yan really is generous.

Seeing how casual he was earlier, I thought it wasn't that much. I didn't expect it to be this expensive."

"Ha..."

David Lee shook his head and laughed. "I think it's expensive too, but when Su Yan swiped his card just now, he didn't even blink.

You can tell at a glance he's rich.

The key thing is... he was willing to spend money on us. That's what matters."

"Yeah."

Larry Hughes nodded. "They say the richer a person is, the stingier they are. Su Yan has only known us for a day.

And he treats us to such a good meal.

He's really a good guy!"

The nine Knicks players, on their way back, couldn't stop thinking about Su Yan's hospitality and his generosity.

As for Su Yan.

He didn't think much about it. He gave the menu prices a quick glance and felt they were far from reaching ten thousand USD.

He did a rough calculation.

He just ordered a few bottles of Sudihan private reserve champagne, which was mid-range for this place, to push the total spending up to ten thousand USD.

That would be just right.

Going from LV1 to LV2 wouldn't just improve his game stats and raise the corresponding amount.

There was also a [LV2 Privilege Pack] waiting to be opened.
