Chapter 26 The Jinyang District Basketball Hall Incident
Back home, Qin Yu noticed that his QQ list had been updated with just a few more people—only a handful.
After taking a shower, he finally quietly threw himself into bed, able to calmly reflect on the events of the day.
I never expected that this day would be so fulfilling after my rebirth, but I also feel a little empty inside.
Summarizing his day's achievements: In the afternoon, he played two basketball games at Jinghu Sports Center and Daguan Basketball Court, which introduced him to Chamberlain, Tian Bing, and a "human-machine boy".
The "human-machine boy" didn't use his real name; his nickname was simply "human-machine," which truly suited him.
Qin Yu was somewhat taken aback when he added "Human Machine Boy" as a friend at the Daguan Stadium, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
If the "human-machine boy" can grow up, he will definitely become a "black hole" on the court; his presence is simply too insignificant.
It remains to be seen how well the "human-machine boy" will perform in high-intensity competition.
But having a teammate like that in a college league, having such an easily overlooked "black hole" on the court, is indeed quite good.
This reminded Qin Yu of an anime he had watched in his previous life, "Kuroko's Basketball".
However, the basketball game became a bit sci-fi towards the end, and it wasn't realistic at all.
He has now truly met a teammate with an extremely low aura, so much so that he is almost unnoticeable.
This was a nightmare for everyone else on the field, but fortunately, Qin Yu's mental strength was relatively strong. In his perception, although the opponent's presence had decreased, the difference was not significant.
However, he also clearly felt that if one was not careful, it would be difficult to notice the "human-machine boy".
After getting to know his new basketball buddies from the day, Qin Yu's next thought made his scalp tingle.
He needed to earn money over the weekend, and he also had to participate in a basketball game; after all, the prize money on that flyer was quite substantial, a full 50,000 RMB. With this initial capital, he could do quite a few things.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; even if he was reborn, he still needs "rice" to make a meal.
Just thinking about Su Lingjuan gave Qin Yu a headache.
Ding dong.
The WeChat message notification sounded. Qin Yu stared at his phone with a chill running down his spine. Seeing that the message was from Su Lingjuan, he immediately pressed the power button. Three seconds later, the phone went out.
"That's terrifying." Qin Yu looked at his phone, which had gone black, and felt a chill run down his spine.
No. 1, Building 6, Shimao City Villa Area, Second Ring Road, Jiangzhou City.
After rolling around in bed, Su Lingjuan looked at her phone and sent another message. No one replied.
"Tch, brat, does he think I actually like him? Is he going to stand me up?" she muttered to herself, then tossed her phone aside, got up, sat down at her computer, and began researching information about Jiangzhou No. 3 Middle School.
"Hey, Qin Yu, you're here pretty early today." Just as Qin Yu reached the school gate and was about to go in, Xin Zhiyan's voice came from behind him.
Qin Yu, who had intended to avoid Xin Zhiyan today, silently nodded and said, "Mm." Then he walked forward with his head down.
"Why are you walking so fast? Where did you go yesterday? If you don't tell me, I'll mark you as having skipped class," Xin Zhiyan pressed.
Qin Yu quickened his pace. He knew Xin Zhiyan wouldn't actually mark him absent; after all, he understood her personality, so he didn't bother to say anything.
"I told you to wait, did you hear me?" Xin Zhiyan stomped her foot and tried to reach out to pull Qin Yu. But Qin Yu dashed off to the classroom on the third floor.
"Hey, Zhiyan, did you and your deskmate have a fight?" At this moment, Xin Zhiyan's best friend, Sun Lingling, walked over.
"What's going on? I don't know what this guy is thinking. He skipped class yesterday, and when I asked him where he'd been this morning, he said he'd run away. Is he going to be my deskmate again today?"
"I've felt that guy's been acting strange since yesterday. Could something have happened to him?"
"Did nothing happen?" Xin Zhiyan suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and a strange feeling of heartache welled up inside her.
What's wrong with me? She asked, puzzled.
"Let's go, Zhiyan, stop standing here." Sun Lingling pulled Xin Zhiyan's arm and walked upstairs.
From the start of class at 7:50 a.m. until the end of the fifth period at 12:00 p.m., Qin Yu did not take the initiative to talk to Xin Zhiyan.
After class at noon, he rushed to the cafeteria for lunch and then disappeared. He didn't reappear at his desk until the afternoon class.
"Where did you go?" Xin Zhiyan couldn't help but ask.
"Going to the toilet."
"Going to the toilet? You were there for over an hour? You're kidding me!"
"Is there a rule that you can't stay for more than an hour?" Qin Yu retorted.
Xin Zhiyan, who was about to say something, was immediately choked. She opened her mouth, but finally snorted, "Forget it, we're not that close anyway." She took a deep breath and was too lazy to pay attention to Qin Yu anymore.
Seeing that Xin Zhiyan was ignoring him, Qin Yu was happy to have some peace and quiet. After class in the afternoon, he ran off in a flash.
"Boss, why are you in such a hurry?" Qin Yu heard Wu Yun's shout from behind as he walked out of the school gate.
"Hey bro, did you and the class monitor have a fight? I feel like you're avoiding her today. Don't worry, the class monitor won't really give you a truancy record," Wu Yun said, leaning closer.
"Um."
Are you going to play ball today?
"certainly."
"So where are you planning to go?"
"How about we try the stadium in Jinyang District?"
"Jinyang District?" Wu Yun hesitated. "Boss, Jinyang District is really tough. I think we shouldn't go. There are just too many experts there. Wouldn't we just be asking for trouble?"
Although I witnessed Qin Yu's ball skills yesterday, that's all.
Jinyang District is home to the most skilled basketball enthusiasts in Jiangzhou City, especially today, Friday, there are bound to be many top players.
"Then let's go take a look," Qin Yu said.
"Well... that's no problem. Wait a minute, I'll call my mom and tell her."
The two talked as they walked towards the bus stop. They needed to take bus number 39 to get to Jinyang District.
"Insufficient balance." The mechanical notification sounded, and Qin Yu looked at the driver somewhat awkwardly. He hadn't realized that he had used up his bus card yesterday and hadn't recharged it yet.
"Boss, let me handle this. Thanks to you yesterday, you even helped me make a small profit. If they settle the rest of the bill, we'll be rolling in it. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight too," Wu Yun quickly said.
"Okay, then you can swipe your card." Qin Yu moved aside.
Wu Yun swiped his card twice in a row.
"Hurry up, hurry up, get inside, the people behind are waiting," the driver urged.
"Okay, okay." The two moved a little further into the carriage.
