Chapter 12

At the same time, next to the basketball court.

A middle-aged man in sportswear with a whistle hanging around his neck couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“What a great shot!”

Standing beside him, a bespectacled professor also sighed with emotion.

“Yeah, he actually made it by luck.”

A PE teacher and a math professor—both basketball enthusiasts—had originally come to play, but unexpectedly stumbled upon such a “spectacular” showdown.

Compared to Professor Thompson, who teaches math, Mr. Thompson, the PE teacher, clearly understands basketball better.

He glanced at Professor Thompson, chuckled, and said,

“Do you really think that kid can’t play basketball?”

The bespectacled professor was stunned: “You mean he’s actually a pro? Wasn’t that just a lucky shot?”

“A pro? Haha, he’s more than just a pro,” the PE teacher squinted, looking meaningfully in the direction Yvonne Harris had left earlier, and said, “Such a beautiful jump shot, and that textbook-perfect parabola... I’ve only seen it once before.”

“...When?”

“Last year’s international league, the buzzer-beater in the final second of the championship game!”

If only we could recruit this guy to the school team, he’d be a sure-fire star point guard.

If he switched to studying sports, he might even make the national team!

Thinking of this, Mr. Thompson couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement, his only regret being that he hadn’t called out to him earlier.

Now the guy was gone, and he didn’t even know which class he was from...

As for why Yvonne Harris played so badly before, he just assumed it was out of consideration for his friends—going easy on them.

After all, those who know, know.

With such an ugly layup, if you say he wasn’t going easy, he’d never believe it...

...

Three days later, the first class meeting of Software Engineering 1801 was held as scheduled. After everyone introduced themselves, the election for class committee members began as planned.

Everyone thought that Brian Cooper would undoubtedly be elected class monitor.

Even Kevin Clark, who had spent the whole week visiting every dorm to campaign for votes, felt a tinge of despair at his opponent’s strength.

After all...

The “poll” in the group chat that night had really crushed his confidence.

However, when Brian Cooper walked up to the podium, he surprised everyone.

“I’d like to run for sports committee member. I hope everyone can support me. Thank you.”

With that, he stepped down from the stage.

Watching Brian Cooper return to his seat, Kevin Clark was moved, rubbing his hands together, wanting to thank him but not knowing what to say.

Seeing right through him, Brian Cooper said impatiently,

“No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the person sitting next to you.”

“...?”

Kevin Clark was taken aback, looking blankly at Yvonne Harris, who was lying on the desk sleeping, completely clueless about what had happened.

Samuel Wright was the same. He had originally planned to vote for Brian Cooper, but now could only vote for Kevin Clark.

And so, Dorm Leader Clark from dorm 401 was finally elected class monitor by a narrow margin.

Trailing by just one vote was Olivia Reed from girls’ dorm 201, who ended up as the Youth League secretary.

“All right, the class committee has been elected. That’s it for today—meeting adjourned. I still have to go back and work on my thesis,” said Advisor Bolton, stacking the roster in his hands. “Now, I’ll hand things over to the class monitor.”

And so, the first class meeting of Software Engineering 1801 ended successfully amid applause. The students in the classroom were already excitedly chatting, discussing the upcoming military training, and imagining the college life that was about to begin.

Except for one person, who was still lying there sleeping.

To be precise, Yvonne Harris wasn’t actually asleep—he was collecting his spoils.

This was his latest discovery.

As long as he closed his eyes, he didn’t need to move his fingers; he could control the system with his mind alone.

And just now, he had already received the task completion notification—

[Congratulations, host, you have received the newbie gift pack!]

Chapter 006: Pick Two Books for Me as Well

Dormitory.

Having returned with his roommates, Yvonne Harris leaned against the balcony railing and opened the big gift from the system.

[Newbie gift pack unlocked.]

[Received: 1 memory fragment, 1 random attribute point, 1 inspiration gem]

Yvonne Harris more or less understood what the attribute point was for—probably to light up his empty attribute panel—but what were the memory fragment and inspiration gem?

“Anyway, let’s check out the attribute point first.”

Taking a deep breath, Yvonne Harris moved his consciousness to the pulsating unassigned attribute point.

He had thought he could freely assign it, but as soon as his mind touched it, he watched as it turned into countless points of light and surged into his attribute panel.

[Programming +1]

At the same time, the previously locked attribute panel lit up and refreshed its data.

[Host: Yvonne Harris]

[Programming: 1]

What the—?

So the point allocation is random?

Still, Yvonne Harris had no complaints about the system’s assignment.

After all, his major was software engineering, so building a solid foundation for future courses was no problem at all.
