Chapter 37

"Me play for you?" Qi Feng never expected that he would come over for this reason.

Isn't this kid just putting on a show of suffering? Usually, Yan Yufeng always looked like Qi Feng owed him two hundred bucks, with a cool and sullen face. Today, he was so gentle and soft-spoken, which was not normal... Although Yan Yufeng usually didn't seem like the type to play such tricks, thinking about their coach, Uncle Li's morals... tsk tsk tsk... Using the team cheerleaders as bait to recruit people was unheard of. Qi Feng really wanted to criticize him. Who knew if this time it was the idea of this god-like uncle? It seemed that he had heard a few days ago that the school team was indeed at a critical moment for the regional tournament.

Qi Feng extended a finger and pointed at Yan Yufeng's leg in a cast. Although his Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong at the second level didn't have any external energy release or back-pushing healing skills, sensing the flow of qi and blood was no problem. Yan Yufeng's leg was indeed seriously injured, with the flow of blood and qi like a tangled mess.

"Wow, you're really hurt, and it's pretty serious!" Qi Feng withdrew his hand. Although he said this, Qi Feng looked relaxed, as if he was gloating. "How did you get hurt? Did you take X-rays? Show me?"

Yan Yufeng didn't speak, but Su Meizi couldn't help it. She tugged at Qi Feng, pulling him aside and whispered, "Don't joke around. Yan is really upset right now. Don't keep mentioning his injury, okay? If you agree to play for him, it's not like you're doing anything else. What's wrong with representing our school in a match?"

Qi Feng was both angry and amused, "Let's not talk about whether I'll play for him or not. Hey, who's joking around? It seems no one believes me when I speak. I said I can cure it, and I definitely can. Let's not mention other things. What about the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill I gave you last time? Did you try it? How was the effect?"

To his surprise, mentioning the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill made Su Meizi's already watery eyes start to tear up again, catching Qi Feng off guard as he fumbled for a tissue in his pocket. Not only was Qi Feng not good at dealing with girls, but girls crying was inherently damaging, and a pretty girl shedding tears was even more so, with the attack power directly proportional to her appearance.

Su Meizi, while wiping her tears with the tissue Qi Feng handed her, complained, "... If it weren't for the medicine you gave, Yan wouldn't have been hurt so badly..."

Huh? What's this about? How can this be my fault? Qi Feng was confused. Then he heard Su Meizi explain the situation from yesterday's away game against Northeast University H.

The game was very close, with the score alternating. Although they were playing away, as long as they could keep the score close, even if they lost, it would still be considered a half-win, giving them the initiative. As long as they won the next home game by a larger margin, they could pull ahead by more than eight points in the two-game series, securing a win.

But in the second half, about halfway through, the opposing forward suddenly used a dirty move. While Yan Yufeng was breaking through for a layup, the forward pretended to fall, crouching down and using his back to hook Yan Yufeng's leg in mid-air, causing him to fall and slide a considerable distance, eventually crashing into the advertising board on the other side of the basket.

Everyone who played basketball regularly could see this dirty move. The game almost turned into a brawl, but fortunately, the referee and both coaches reacted quickly, separating the players and temporarily suspending the game.

Su Meizi rushed over to check on Yan Yufeng, seeing that his knee was already swollen. The coaching staff brought ice packs to apply and provided emergency treatment. Yan Yufeng, gritting his teeth, tried to stand up. He suddenly asked Su Meizi for the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, swallowed it, and then stomped the floor a few times, going back onto the court with his injured knee!

With the power of the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, Yan Yufeng acted as if his leg was fine, although he still limped a bit. He charged towards the basket without hesitation, his momentum even stronger than in the first half!

This display intimidated both the opponents on the court and their coach. Was this guy not afraid of losing his life or his leg? The swelling on his knee was obvious to everyone. The morale of the engineering team was greatly boosted, and they managed to secure a narrow victory on the opponent's home court.

After hearing this, Qi Feng thought the same thing. This kid was crazy! But thinking about it, if he hadn't given that Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, Yan Yufeng might not have had the strength to go crazy despite his injury.

So, at least half of Yan Yufeng's knee injury was due to his own recklessness, and a small part of that was Qi Feng's responsibility, of course, mainly due to his own recklessness!

Qi Feng was speechless, really wanting to say, "NO ZUO NO DIE, WHY YOU TRY?"

But Yan Yufeng had his own thoughts and explained, "I tried it. I don't know how severe the injury is, but it's clear that it won't heal in ten to fifteen days. I definitely can't play in the next home game. It's better to fight as much as we can in this game. The more we fight in this game, the easier the next game will be, and the higher our chances of winning."

Uh... What could Qi Feng say? The first time he met Yan Yufeng, he found that although the guy was a bit of a middle-schooler, his logic was quite sound. His all-out effort in the previous game wasn't just a heat of the moment decision. This kid calculated very clearly in an instant and then went all in. Although others might think his actions were too crazy, the opposite was true. This guy was frighteningly rational and calm. Qi Feng knew he definitely couldn't do that.

"Now that I can't play, I hope you can join the team, help us break through the regional tournament, and win a championship..."

Qi Feng was really not used to Yan Yufeng's current tone, as if he had transformed completely: "Is it that serious? It feels like you're entrusting me with your legacy. Besides, are you sure I can replace you? Let's not talk about teamwork. Do you think I'm better than you?" Qi Feng thought that if Yan Yufeng answered "yes," it would be a ghost!

Yan Yufeng pointed at Su Meizi, "I heard that you're bullying me when we play. I don't know if it's true, but since you say you're so good, prove it to me." He then threw a paper bag over.

Qi Feng caught it, and inside was a set of basketball uniforms. Taking it out, he saw the number 99 on the back, with his name in pinyin, "Q.F." This clearly couldn't have been made just now. Qi Feng was surprised, "How do you have my uniform?!"

Yan Yufeng smiled, "Although you didn't know, you are already a member of our engineering basketball team, and you've been registered for the competition."

Qi Feng thought this was too crazy, "I didn't know, and I haven't participated in any of the games. Isn't taking a spot just squeezing out someone else's qualification? Did you force this for me?"

"I don't have the patience for those who don't want to join. But Coach Li and Team Leader Zhang decided that you would be our secret weapon, usually kept in reserve... I didn't expect it to come in handy..."

Since the basketball team had seen Qi Feng and Yan Yufeng practice together, no one complained about Qi Feng taking a spot. If anyone was dissatisfied, they could challenge the leader. Remember the guy who was dunked out last time?

Qi Feng knew that Uncle Li was indeed a guy with no morals, capable of such underhanded tactics! Well, he was also far-sighted!

Seeing that Qi Feng was holding the uniform without a response, Yan Yufeng added, "Are you scared?"

Scared? I almost joined a special task force to save the entire galaxy yesterday and am now a reserve member of the savior team! I've seen it all. How many things on this Earth can scare me? A game? That's nothing.

Qi Feng shook his head and smiled, "Alright, no need for reverse psychology, it won't work on me! Don't pretend, your acting is too superficial, lacking in life, and not convincing at all. Stop pretending to be calm. I know you felt like the sky was falling when you heard the doctor say your leg would only be able to walk with difficulty. Don't worry, I said I can cure it!"

Mentioning this, Yan Yufeng's expression changed, a mix of emotions—conflict, anger, frustration, confusion? It was very complex, and Qi Feng, a dead engineering student, lacked the vocabulary to describe it, but this was Yan Yufeng's true reaction. "The doctor said it's impossible. Can you really cure it?"

Qi Feng scoffed, "Don't say it's just a sprain or bruise! Even if it's broken! As long as it's not like Sun Bin's leg being dug out, I can put your knee back together, even if it's in pieces!"

Qi Feng's determination was clear, and he wasn't joking. Su Meizi and Yan Yufeng stared at him intently.

Qi Feng didn't say more, just stared at Yan Yufeng, "I've said my part. Do you believe me? I can help you win your championship without relying on others."

Yan Yufeng and Qi Feng stared at each other for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows, "I believe you!"

Just as the campus was filled with a positive, inspiring, and friendly atmosphere, Qi Feng extended his hand, "Then give me 40,000 yuan first..."

His words almost made Yan Yufeng and Su Meizi's waists snap. Su Meizi jumped up, "You... 40,000 yuan? Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

Qi Feng was both amused and exasperated, "I need it to buy medicine! Do you want me to pay for it? I'm broke and can't afford it. The medicine is really expensive."

Su Meizi realized she had spoken out of turn and apologized repeatedly, but she was puzzled. Why did she suddenly react so strongly, thinking Qi Feng was a con artist?
