Chapter 3

**（New book, seeking recommendations, seeking collections, seeking support)**

"Hey, coward, why are you so depressed? Congratulations on drawing the Kobe Bryant-style fadeaway jump shot skill card. Although it's not as good as many other items, it's still much better than that Bogues height and wingspan card."

"Better than the Bogues height and wingspan card? Who are Bogues and Kobe?"

Lin Han looked at the beautiful girl who had just walked over and tapped his shoulder, his face full of frustration. After coming out of his extreme disappointment, he asked in confusion. According to what the girl had said, this was the Basketball Legend System, and the players who could enter the system should all be legendary players. Even role players could be legends, but those who became legends had at least decent innate physical attributes. Why did the girl make Lin Han feel that the worst of the nine items was the Bogues height and wingspan card?

"Kobe and Bogues are both players who will enter the NBA in the future. It's hard to describe what kind of player Kobe is because, according to your current timeline, there seems to be no one who can compare to him. However, Bogues is a different story. You should know Tiny Bogues, the starting point guard for the Charlotte Hornets, right? Bogues is about 5 centimeters taller than Tiny Bogues."

When he heard this, Lin Han was drenched in cold sweat. Although he wasn't a Charlotte Hornets fan, Lin Han had long heard of Tiny Bogues. He was the shortest player in NBA history, standing only 1.60 meters tall. Despite his height, he was one of the best point guards in the NBA, averaging 9 points and 9 assists last season. This season, his stats were almost 10 points and 10 assists. Although his height made scoring difficult, his passing, ball handling, and speed were outstanding. Because of his height, his success in the NBA made him more popular in the United States and the NBA than most star players.

Lin Han had even seen many basketball experts say that if Bogues were 1.80 meters tall, he would be one of the top five point guards in NBA history.

Regardless of whether this evaluation was correct or not, if Lin Han could obtain the ability attribute card of Tiny Bogues, it would be the best. However, if it was just a height and wingspan card, it wouldn't be worth it. Lin Han admitted that if he were 1.60 meters tall, he would be a tragic figure.

"Wow, what a shiny golden card, with a hint of purple. I hope the actual effect of this card is as beautiful as the card itself."

Holding the Kobe Bryant-style fadeaway jump shot skill card in his hand, Lin Han sighed. He had indeed dodged a bullet, just as the girl had said.

"Golden cards are among the top-tier cards in the Basketball Legend System. Moreover, this golden card is not just pure gold. The purple tint means it's close to the highest S-grade. The items and player abilities in the system are also graded. Generally, gold is A-grade, and purple is S-grade. This purple-tinted gold card is A+ grade, which is very powerful."

"Indeed, it is very powerful."

After listening to the girl's explanation, Lin Han asked excitedly, "It seems Kobe is very powerful. Do you know whose skill card is purple?"

The player named Kobe having such a high-level skill was indeed very impressive. However, from the girl's expression, it seemed there was someone whose fadeaway jump shot was even more powerful than Kobe's, which made Lin Han curious.

"Coward, you're really stupid. When it comes to the fadeaway jump shot, the most powerful is naturally Michael Jordan. The Jordan-style fadeaway jump shot is one of the five S-grade skills in the system."

The girl sneered, and Lin Han was speechless. Indeed, this skill was one of Jordan's strongest moves.

However, when he thought about the fact that his card was just a little bit less powerful than Jordan's, Lin Han's heart was once again on fire, eager to learn the card.

"Huh? Why can't I learn it? I've already touched the learning button on the card, but it still doesn't work."

To Lin Han's embarrassment, he pressed the card for a long time with no response.

"You're really stupid. You can't learn it because you haven't met the learning conditions. I remember the learning conditions for this card require excellent jumping ability, air control (hang time), and shooting ability. So, the initial learning conditions are 15 points in jumping, 15 points in balance, and 15 points in shooting. Your current jumping is 10, balance is 12, and shooting is 5, so you're far from meeting the conditions. However, you still have 20 free attribute points, which can meet the conditions."

After listening to the girl's explanation, Lin Han quickly added 5 points to his jumping, 3 points to his balance, and 10 points to his shooting. Although he used up 18 of his free attribute points, his balance, jumping, and shooting abilities were all now 15.

"Why can't I still learn it?"

However, to Lin Han's frustration, when he touched the learning button on the card again with great hope, the card still had no response.

"Idiot, can't you be a little more patient? Can't you let me finish speaking before you act?"

Seeing Lin Han rubbing the card repeatedly, the girl shouted at him. Her host was really impatient. The girl didn't know that Lin Han was eager to enter the NBA and make big money, so he was naturally very anxious when he saw this opportunity.

"The card name is already mentioned. This is the Kobe Bryant-style fadeaway jump shot, which also requires certain innate attributes. So, to learn this skill, you need to be at least 1.98 meters tall and have a 1.98-meter wingspan. Your wingspan is already 1.98 meters, but your height is only 1.88 meters."

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

When Lin Han looked at his attribute panel again, the numbers were almost despairing. He had only 3 points of happiness left, but to increase his height from 1.88 meters to 1.98 meters, he needed 10 points of happiness.

He originally had 10 points of happiness, but he had used 8 points to increase his "little ding ding."

At this moment, Lin Han felt like crying. He now understood why the girl was so angry when he used 8 points of happiness on that. As a shooting guard, if his height was only 1.88 meters, he wouldn't be able to learn any powerful skills.

"Can you tell me how to earn happiness points?"

Although Lin Han's emotions were very abnormal at this moment, he still asked in a small voice. According to the girl's recent hint, the main tool for earning happiness points was his "little ding ding." Did that mean he had to use his "little ding ding" to seduce others? Thinking about this, Lin Han looked at the girl, who was still angry, with some guilt. She was definitely a good candidate for seduction.

"Idiot, didn't I say that your 'little ding ding' is now long enough for your right hand to easily move up and down? If you do it a few more times, won't you earn happiness points?"

The girl said angrily, and Lin Han was speechless again. Was she suggesting he masturbate? Although the length was important for convenience, why did this setting feel so unfair?

"Also, if you find it too slow to earn happiness points by yourself, you can use some drugs to stimulate it. I remember it's not hard to buy drugs that can increase happiness points in the United States."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll do it myself. Self-reliance is the way to go."

When Lin Han heard the girl mention another way to earn happiness points, he was initially hopeful, but quickly became fearful. He didn't want to get involved with those drugs.

"Also, I need to remind you that the biological energy of the chip is now insufficient. If you can't replenish the biological energy, I will fall into a deep sleep, and you won't be able to wake me up. Therefore, you won't be able to get the Basketball Legend System to help you enter the NBA."

Seeing Lin Han calm down again, the girl looked at him pitifully.

"Also, coward, I'm reminding you that the current biological energy can only sustain the system's minimum consumption for about four months. I also need to remind you that replenishing the system's biological energy requires a lot of money. You need to be prepared."

"Understood, understood. As long as I can enter the NBA, I won't worry about money. You're not a cute little girl. Also, can you stop calling me a coward? I have a name, I'm called Lin Han. Just call me Lin Han."

Lin Han said to the girl, a bit angry.

"Oh, Lin Han."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"I'm called Aili. How does my name sound compared to yours?"

"......"
