Chapter 9

The girl curled her lip in disdain and said this, leaving Henry Lincoln momentarily speechless. It really was just like that—wasn’t this skill one of Jordan’s most powerful signature moves?

However, when he thought about how the functional card in his hand was only a tiny bit inferior to Jordan’s legendary move, Henry Lincoln’s heart started burning with excitement again. He couldn’t wait to learn this card’s skill.

“Huh? Why can’t I learn it? I already touched the ‘learn’ button on the card, so why isn’t it working?”

But to Henry Lincoln’s embarrassment, no matter how long he pressed the button on the card, there was no response at all.

“You really are dumb. Of course you can’t learn it because you haven’t met the requirements. I remember the learning conditions for this card are excellent jumping ability, aerial body control—that is, hang time—and great shooting skills. So, the initial requirements for this card are 15 points in jumping, 15 in balance, and 15 in shooting. Right now, your jumping is 10, balance is 12, and shooting is 5, so you’re still far off. But you still have 20 free attribute points left, so you can meet the requirements!”

After listening to the girl’s explanation, Henry Lincoln quickly allocated his remaining 20 attribute points: 5 more to jumping, 3 to balance, and 10 to shooting. Although he used up 18 of his free attribute points in one go, now his balance, jumping, and shooting abilities were all at 15.

“Why still can’t I learn it?!”

But to Henry Lincoln’s utter frustration, when he hopefully touched the ‘learn’ button on the card again, there was still no response.

“Idiot, can you not be so impatient? Can you let me finish talking before you act?!”

Watching Henry Lincoln endlessly rubbing the card, the girl shouted loudly at him. Her host really was hot-tempered. What she didn’t know was that Henry Lincoln was already desperate to get into the NBA and make big money, so when he saw this opportunity, of course he was anxious.

“I already told you the card’s name, didn’t I? This is Kobe’s turnaround fadeaway jumper, so you also need to meet the innate attribute requirements. To learn this skill, you need to be at least 1.98 meters tall with a 1.98-meter wingspan. Your wingspan meets the requirement, but your height doesn’t—you’re only 1.88 meters.”

1.88 meters, 1.98 meters—a difference of 10 points.

At this moment, when Henry Lincoln looked at his attribute panel again, the numbers on it made him feel utterly hopeless. He had 3 points of pleasure left, but to increase his height from 1.88 meters to 1.98 meters, he needed 10 points of pleasure.

He originally had 10 points of pleasure, but in the end, he had actually added 8 points to his little ding-dong.

At this point, Henry Lincoln really felt like crying but had no tears.

Now he finally understood why the girl had been so furious when she saw him add 8 points of pleasure to that area. As a shooting guard, if you’re only 1.88 meters tall, you basically can’t learn any awesome skills.

“Um, can you tell me how I can earn more pleasure points?”

Although Henry Lincoln was feeling very out of sorts, he still asked in a small voice. According to the girl’s earlier hint, the main tool for earning pleasure points was his little ding-dong. Did that mean he had to use it to sleep with others? Thinking of this, Henry Lincoln glanced guiltily at the still-angry girl in front of him. She would definitely be a great candidate.

“Idiot, didn’t I already tell you? That thing of yours is so long now, your right hand can easily move up and down on it. If you do it a few more times, won’t you gain more pleasure points?”

Uh… After the girl said this angrily, Henry Lincoln was speechless again. Doing it himself? Isn’t that just masturbation? Sure, length does make it more convenient, but why did Henry Lincoln still feel like this setup was such a scam?

“And if you think doing it yourself is too slow to gain pleasure points, you can also use some drugs for stimulation. I remember it’s not hard to buy those pleasure-enhancing drugs in America, right?”

“No need, no need, I’ll do it myself. Self-reliance is the way to go!”

At first, when he heard the girl mention another way to increase pleasure points, Henry Lincoln was a bit hopeful. But that hope quickly turned to fear—he definitely didn’t want to get involved with those drugs.

“Also, there’s one more thing I need to remind you: the chip’s bio-energy is running low. If you can’t replenish it, I’ll fall into a deep sleep. Of course, once I’m asleep, you won’t be able to wake me up, so you won’t be able to use the Basketball Legend System to help you get into the NBA!”

Seeing Henry Lincoln calm down again, the girl looked at him a bit pitifully and said.

“And, coward, let me remind you: the current bio-energy can only support the system’s minimum consumption for about four more months. Also, I have to warn you, replenishing the system’s bio-energy requires a lot of money, so you’d better be prepared!”
