Brian Carter had never thought about it this way. He didn’t know that just by getting the chance to “experience” the NBA, he had already gained a certain level of fame in the domestic basketball community.

In Phoenix, because this was related to a very popular local team, it also attracted a lot of attention.

Brian Carter wasn’t a celebrity. He was a bit of a wild card in college, only famous within his own department. He wasn’t even well-known on the main campus. Those truly wealthy second-generation kids played with far more tricks than he did, and as for influence, Brian Carter couldn’t really claim to have any. Only people in his department knew his name and knew that he was the lucky guy picked by the Suns. Maybe he was temporarily quite famous at school, but only as a lucky guy.

However, Brian Carter’s insane training—from a little after 4 a.m. all the way until 2 p.m.—made him famous locally in Phoenix!

Chapter 0008: Perfect Training Completion!

The noise outside the window that had lasted all day yesterday had quieted down by last night.

Everyone was busy. Watching internet celebrities was certainly attractive, but after a day, the hype started to die down.

Internet celebrities, after all—in this era of information explosion, all kinds of people hype themselves up every day. The buzz comes and goes quickly. Of course, in the much smaller sports circle compared to the entertainment industry, there were still quite a few people paying attention to the follow-up of yesterday’s events.

When the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the second-floor window, the stinky young man from the East lying in bed woke up...

“Ugh... ah...”

Brian Carter stretched lazily, habitually reaching for his phone on the nightstand. When he brought it to his face, he found the screen black, and it wouldn’t turn on—no battery.

“Forgot to charge it? Damn! Why does it smell so bad!”

Brian Carter smelled the stench of his own sweat, and even the bed was dirty. Only then did he remember that after training yesterday afternoon, he had run straight back to bed to sleep!

Although Brian Carter had been poor in his previous life, he at least liked to stay clean. This was just too disgusting. He quickly got up, stripped off his stinky clothes and pants, plugged in his phone charger, and rushed into the bathroom...

Brian Carter had trained until 2 p.m., to the point where he was completely oblivious to the outside world and his mind was fuzzy.

If it had been the original Brian Carter, with that crazy 6+6+6 training, he probably wouldn’t have made it through the first round.

But... with the hardship he’d endured in his previous life and his stubbornly tenacious personality, Brian Carter managed to push through on sheer willpower!

As for Brian Carter himself, he couldn’t even remember what had happened at the time. He was running on pure stubbornness. He only remembered seeing the training session end on the screen in front of him, then running back to his room. He didn’t even remember how he climbed into bed.

Because the stench he’d just smelled was so disgusting—fresh sweat wasn’t so bad, but after a whole night... Brian Carter scrubbed himself with soap several times, rubbing his skin red, and only stopped after he’d sniffed himself a few times and could only smell the faint scent of soap.

After showering and regaining his energy, Brian Carter looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. That well-proportioned body... Brian Carter finally noticed that his physique was actually pretty great.

“No wonder that female masseuse kept touching me in weird places during the massage...”

Back in his room, Brian Carter didn’t get dressed right away. Instead, he bundled up his dirty clothes, the soiled blanket, and the bedsheet, and tossed them downstairs.

After charging his phone for a while, it could finally turn on. As soon as Brian Carter powered it up, it vibrated nonstop.

Over a hundred text messages—almost enough to crash his not-so-advanced smartphone.

He glanced through them. They were all from classmates, friends, or... girls he’d partied with.

He didn’t check the messages right away, but looked at the time.

6:18 a.m., April 12, 2009...

So when the sunlight came through the window, it wasn’t even six o’clock...

But this time surprised Brian Carter!

He thought it was yesterday evening!

“I slept for 20 hours!” Brian Carter couldn’t believe he could sleep that long.

From the end of training at 2 p.m. yesterday to waking up at nearly six this morning, it was almost 20 hours, and during that time, Brian Carter hadn’t even dreamed.

That was some top-notch sleep quality!

But... what really puzzled Brian Carter was why he didn’t feel like he was dying, like yesterday.

He called out to the system in his mind, and immediately the system interface appeared before his eyes.

A prompt appeared on the screen.

“The host has completed the training task in full. After sleep and functional recovery, the body is now in optimal condition. Item card: Stage B Burst has completed its prerequisite task. Training evaluation: Perfect. After use, it can achieve the most perfect effect, raising the overall evaluation to B+ during 30 minutes of game time, with all abilities proportionally increased according to the host’s original overall evaluation.

Because the host completed all training in full, received a perfect training evaluation, and the training effect is obvious, the overall evaluation has been improved to a certain extent.”

“What the heck? Completed the training in full? So it’s possible to not complete it in full?” Brian Carter focused on this point...

Brian Carter reread the description of the “Stage Burst” item card.
