Chapter 1 Earning Big

I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich!

After randomly buying a pizza on his way home, Su Feng devoured it while staring at the virtual interface in front of him, beside himself with excitement.

"Current Iron Points: 379055. Host can upgrade the system to the next stage. Upgrade now?"

370,000 Iron Points. Su Feng had previously thought that 15,000 Iron Points was an impossible mission, but now, Su Feng believed that as long as he could find a way to lock down Kobe's stomach, uh, no, as long as he could find a way to become friends with Kobe, wouldn't the NBA be just around the corner?

"Upgrade!"

Never mind. Su Feng decided to upgrade first and see what happened. After all, there was still a lot he needed to explore with this system.

"Upgrading... 7%, 11%, 15%... 97%... Upgrade complete!"

As the system upgrade completed, Su Feng noticed that the system's interface had changed from white to gray.

"Host: Su Feng, Nationality: China, Age: 16, Height: 188 cm, Weight: 71 kg."

"Host's current ability value (High School Elite Level), Shooting: 22 [48] +, Passing: 10 [18] +, Jumping: 22 [36] +, Strength: 13 [33] +."

"Host's currently equipped shooting moves: None. Host's currently equipped special skills: None. Host's current Iron Points: 364055. Iron Points required to unlock the next stage of the system: 100000."

"Wait, why did my ability values decrease after the upgrade?"

Su Feng was a little confused until he read the introduction to the new interface and understood why his ability values had decreased.

Because the system had previously rated his ability values at the American high school level, but after the upgrade, he was seeing the ratings of American high school elite-level players.

For a simple example, even if Tracy McGrady had a jumping ability of 90 when he entered the NBA, he wouldn't be able to calmly complete a dunk in a game.

Because of various limitations, even though McGrady could fly at that time, it was useless. He just couldn't fly around like he did in high school.

And in the future, after making a name for himself with the Magic, McGrady's brutal highlight dunks became more and more frequent. That was because, after adapting to the NBA, McGrady's ability values were already at the NBA level.

"So, you're saying that after my ability values have been converted, I'm only at this level among American high school elite-level players? Hmm... that's really miserable," Su Feng said, evaluating himself.

In addition, in the new system interface, Su Feng also noticed a value behind each ability value. This value was the system's rating of his potential value, which was the limit that Su Feng could reach through self-training.

"So, no matter how much I train, my current shooting limit is only 48..."

Sure enough, although Su Feng's basketball skills were already decent among basketball enthusiasts, he was still too far away from being a professional. Otherwise, Su Feng wouldn't have played dozens of games with Kobe and only scored one goal in the end...

Behind these maximum values, Su Feng also found a plus sign. After clicking on the plus sign, a message suddenly popped up in the system interface: "Spend 500 Iron Points to increase the high school elite-level shooting limit?"

After Su Feng selected "Yes," the original [48] became [49], and the plus sign was still there, so Su Feng continued to click. After the shooting limit became [67], Su Feng noticed that the plus sign had disappeared.

"It seems that this system needs to be constantly upgraded. Fortunately, I have enough Iron Points." Su Feng believed that at the current system level, his potential was also limited, so he had to constantly upgrade the system to increase his limit.

Therefore, after clicking away all the plus signs, Su Feng clicked on "Upgrade System" again.

"Upgrade complete!"

A sugar daddy is a sugar daddy. This feeling of having Iron Points that you can't even use up is just too awesome!

After upgrading again, Su Feng's system interface had turned green.

"Host's current ability value (College Level), Mid-Range Shot: 15 [60] +, Three-Point Shot: 12 [48] +, Passing: 3 [31] +, Ball Control: 14 [28] +, Jumping: 15 [50] +, Strength: 6 [41] +, Rebounding: 7 [21] +."

"Host's currently equipped shooting moves: None. Host's currently equipped special skills: None. Host's current Iron Points: 228055. Iron Points required to unlock the next stage of the system: 500000."

"Huh? After this upgrade, it seems like there are more ability value categories: three-point shooting, rebounding, and ball control?"

"So, my previous understanding was wrong. The system doesn't only have those basic abilities, but it needs to constantly upgrade the system to unlock more ability value categories. Otherwise, you can't improve or even see those ability values... I see!"

After upgrading the system to version 3.0, Su Feng found that his ability values were even more terrible because, under the American college-level rating, his ability values were automatically converted again.

And the potential values he had added before were also converted accordingly.

Su Feng found that the conversion error was about 7 ability values.

So, Su Feng, like before, clicked away all the plus signs first.

After all, with potential, Su Feng could continue to improve in the following training.

And in version 3.0, the cost of each potential upgrade for Su Feng had also become 2000...

It's so damn expensive. If it weren't for Kobe, this little angel, who knows how long Su Feng would have to train!

Therefore, after clicking on the potential values, Su Feng's potential values came to: Mid-Range Shot [68], Three-Point Shot: [68], Passing: [36], Ball Control: [35], Jumping: [58], Strength: [44], Rebounding: [23].

After clicking on the potential values, Su Feng was certain that the potential values in the system were not increased evenly. For example, his three-point shooting could suddenly have 20 potential points added, but strength could only have 3 points added.

Looking at his not-very-thick arms, Su Feng estimated that some ability values would require him to do corresponding training and improvement in reality before he could continue to add points to them.

"But seriously, why is my ball control potential only 35? My dribbling is obviously awesome!" Su Feng said with dissatisfaction.

As if hearing Su Feng's dissatisfaction, the system interface suddenly played a highlight reel of Su Feng's mistakes in his singles match with Kobe today...

Stealing from the front, stealing from the side, stealing from behind, easily stealing... After watching these scenes, Su Feng's face turned red.

"Is my dribbling that bad?" Su Feng said softly.

After being slapped in the face by the system, Su Feng had almost finished studying the 3.0 version of the system. After clicking on all the plus signs, he still had 122055 Iron Points left.

And the next stage of the system upgrade required a total of 500000 Iron Points. Therefore, under the premise that he couldn't continue to upgrade the system for the time being, Su Feng's attention was attracted by the new roulette function in the 3.0 system...

"Want to prove you're the European Emperor? Try your luck. Don't need 999998, don't need 99998, only need 9998, take home mysterious prizes..."

Emmmm, the system's explanation was certainly not so silly, but in Su Feng's opinion, wasn't this roulette function just like the in-app purchase lottery function in the mobile games he used to play?

"Just whale it!" Don't ask, just say there wasn't enough whaling. Now that Su Feng was rich, he decided to try and see what changes this function could bring him...
