Passing: 10【45】, Vision: 15【50】, Ball Control: 38【50】.

Lateral Movement: 70【88】, One-on-One Marking: 71【91】, Steals: 41【81】.

Jumping: 40【71】, Strength: 33【45】, Defensive Rebounds: 18【30】.

After more than two months of exploration, William Sullivan had completely figured out the system’s patterns.

First, after the system was upgraded to version 6.0 and William Sullivan’s potential value conversion was completed, William Sullivan’s current potential values were exactly as shown in the 【】 brackets.

Second, aside from using Brick Points to upgrade potential values, for special attributes like strength, William Sullivan needed to have a certain body weight before the corresponding potential would increase after upgrading.

Previously, William Sullivan’s strength attribute had been stuck for a long time, and it only increased a bit after William Sullivan gained 3.5 kg.

Additionally, after maxing out the potential values shown on the system, William Sullivan could still gain extra boosts through certain special events.

For example, William Sullivan’s frustrating defensive attributes.

“If only these attributes could be added to offense, how great would that be?” William Sullivan sighed.

Because he played one-on-one with Kobe Bryant every day, William Sullivan often heard the system suddenly pop up with: “Congratulations, host’s one-on-one marking potential +1!”

“As expected, Klay’s path suits me best!” William Sullivan thought to himself.

As a keyboard stats nerd and a veteran 2K player, in order to achieve his life goal of making it to the NBA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying a rich, beautiful woman, William Sullivan knew he had to make the most of every resource at his disposal.

“Actually, thinking about it, this system is pretty scientific.”

“Because even if I hadn’t met Kobe Bryant, as long as I trained diligently, I could still…”

“...have these current stats by sophomore or junior year…”

“……”

Ahem...

“The next system upgrade needs 15 million Brick Points...

It does look pretty scary, but as long as I have Kobe Bryant as my cheat, I should be able to upgrade the system to 7.0 before graduating high school.”

No denying it, the feeling of leveling up by exploiting bugs is really unreal...

Ahem... back to business.

Looking at the 140,000 Brick Points he had left, William Sullivan decided to save up until school started and then do a big draw.

Because in version 6.0, his equipped skills and badges were still empty!

William Sullivan just didn’t believe it—if he washed his face well and paid respects to Senior Bai, could he really still have such bad luck?

...

Bang clang clatter.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 23rd.

Today was Kobe Bryant’s 16th birthday, and William Sullivan had already prepared a birthday present for Kobe Bryant.

A poster of Anfernee Hardaway.

As expected, Kobe Bryant really liked the birthday gift William Sullivan gave him.

Because Kobe Bryant’s idol at this time was none other than the famous Penny Hardaway.

“Haha, when I get the chance in the future, I’ll definitely have Anfernee sign this poster!” Kobe Bryant said excitedly to William Sullivan.

William Sullivan: “……”

Uh, no way?

If William Sullivan remembered correctly, in his previous life, there was a tragedy involving young Kobe...

That was, when Kobe Bryant was still in high school, he went to ask Hardaway for an autograph, and...

He got rejected!

Ahem...

Surely it won’t be such a coincidence...

Right?

...

After celebrating Kobe Bryant’s 16th birthday, in addition to enjoying the joyful sound of bricks with Kobe Bryant these days, William Sullivan also had a new nightly task: calling his parents overseas to let them know he was safe.

What William Sullivan had worried about most with his parents in this life was how to get along with them.

After all, to suddenly call “strangers” mom and dad—he really couldn’t do it.

But fortunately, from “William Sullivan”’s memories, William Sullivan learned that this guy was a rich second-generation troublemaker. If they hadn’t run out of options, his parents wouldn’t have sent him to America...

No denying it, being able to attend high school in America in the 90s meant “William Sullivan” really came from a family background most people would envy.

The only thing that left William Sullivan speechless was that “William Sullivan” was so carefree he didn’t even know exactly what business his parents were in...

From his memories, William Sullivan only picked up a few keywords: “selling shoes,” “sports products,” “Wenzhou.”

“Sigh, it’s fate after all, there’s no avoiding it. If I get the chance in the future, I’ll help them earn enough money for several lifetimes...”

In fact, after crossing over, William Sullivan had kept a record of every penny “William Sullivan” spent in America.

Nothing more to it—one should live with a clear conscience.

Your parents, I will care for them.

Because of “William Sullivan”’s second-generation rich kid personality, William Sullivan actually felt much more relaxed during the international calls with his parents, and his father and mother’s instructions to William Sullivan were simple...

Just: stay alive and well!

“Parents’ hearts are always the same.” Unconsciously, William Sullivan also thought of his parents from his previous life.

For a moment, William Sullivan felt a little melancholy.
