Kuroko: Fusing with the Ice Emperor at Teikō

Fire Basketball? Are You Kidding Me!

Chapter 6

Fire Basketball? Are You Kidding Me!

Li Zhongshu was absolutely certain that the person before him was none other than him.

This person was Akashi Seijuro, a figure of paramount importance at Teiko Junior High!

"Why did I meet him here? Could it be that he hasn't joined the Teiko basketball team yet?"

Li Zhongshu thought to himself.

Akashi Seijuro's importance to the entire team was even greater than Aomine Daiki and the others.

It was precisely because of his existence that the entire team could maintain their excellent coordination and performance after Nijimura Shuuzou left.

One must know.

Akashi's Emperor Eye was a truly terrifying ability!

Even compared to his own Insight Eye, it was only superior, not inferior.

But of course.

Li Zhongshu still believed that once he awakened the World of Ice, he would be a cut above.

However, what surprised him most was meeting Akashi Seijuro here, rather than in the basketball team.

Could it be that he still hadn't joined the team at this point?

Li Zhongshu didn't quite understand either.

At this moment, Momoi Satsuki seemed to notice Li Zhongshu's unusual behavior and asked:

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Huh? It's nothing."

Asked suddenly, Li Zhongshu turned his head and replied with a smile.

At this time, Aomine Daiki also came over and said to the two of them:

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Didn't we say we were going to celebrate? Why are you standing here?"

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up, I'm starving!"

Momoi Satsuki looked at Aomine, her face showing annoyance as she said:

"Honestly, Dai-chan, didn't you just eat? How are you already hungry after just a short while?"

"Hehe, playing just now was exhausting. Honestly, the level of Teiko's first string is still very impressive, completely incomparable to those small fries before."

Aomine seemed to want to prove his words.

He patted Li Zhongshu's shoulder directly and asked with a laugh:

"Right? You think so too, don't you?!"

"Ah, yeah."

Li Zhongshu nodded.

"Alright, then let's go eat quickly!"

Momoi Satsuki tilted her head and said with a smile:

"Since you two played so well, this meal is on me!"

"Hooray!"

...

On this side, before leaving, Li Zhongshu's gaze still followed Akashi's retreating back.

Since Akashi had appeared here, with his talent, meeting again in the future was only a matter of time.

There was no need to rush.

On this side, after the three finished eating, they returned to school. After all, there was a team induction ceremony to be announced in the afternoon.

And it was also this afternoon that would decide who could stay in the basketball club.

Who could make the regular lineup!

In fact, the afternoon would also decide the official roster of Teiko's first string this year!

Even for a strong team like Teiko's first string, their roster was not always set in stone.

Up until now, the team re-evaluated rankings every quarter.

Players with good performances would naturally be promoted to the first string.

While those with poor performances would naturally be dropped from the roster!

Survival of the fittest.

This was the reason why Teiko's first string had maintained such strong competitiveness over the years.

Li Zhongshu was not worried at all about whether he would be selected for the official roster.

After all, he possessed the Insight Eye of Lord Atobe.

This ability brought about a performance far exceeding ordinary people, an overwhelming existence among peers!

And when Li Zhongshu finally had some quiet time, what he cared about most was not this afternoon's matter.

But... the system rewards!!

During the match, the system's voice had been ringing continuously.

On the way to eat, the system also kept reminding him to claim his rewards, which was annoying as hell.

Now that he finally had time, he immediately opened the system interface:

"Host: Li Zhongshu"
"Status: Normal"
"Strength: 113"
"Stamina: 102"
"Agility: 93"
"Balance: 155"
"Bounce: 92"
"Vertical Leap: 90"
"Basketball IQ: 150"
"Shooting: 81"
"Talent: Insight Eye."
"Honor Points: 500"
"Awakening Rate: 7%."

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully defeating the first-string regular, Yamanaka Tsuyoki."
"Distributing rewards..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first confrontation with Teiko's first string."
"Distributing rewards..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully delivering a buzzer-beater against Teiko's first string."
"Distributing rewards..."

The system notification sounds rang continuously in his ears.

These rewards were so abundant they felt like freebies, giving Li Zhongshu the instant feeling of playing a cheap, bootleg game.

In the end, Li Zhongshu accepted all the rewards.

He received a total of 3 Strength attribute points, 2 Agility points, 2 Bounce points, and 1 Vertical Leap point.

There were also an additional 12 free attribute points and 1,600 Honor Points!

The rewards this time could be said to far exceed his imagination.

So much!

The system really gave too much!!

Li Zhongshu thought for a moment and decided to distribute the free attribute points between Basketball IQ and Balance.

After all, improving Basketball IQ could better help him grasp the vision and overall situation.

After Li Zhongshu made his decision.

In the next second, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully distributing attribute points."

"Host: Li Zhongshu"
"Status: Normal"
"Strength: 116"
"Stamina: 99"
"Agility: 97"
"Balance: 161"
"Bounce: 95"
"Vertical Leap: 91"
"Basketball IQ: 153"
"Shooting: 81"
"Talent: Insight Eye."
"Honor Points: 2100"
"Awakening Rate: 7%."

Not bad!

After this upgrade, except for his shooting, all his other attributes were above 90 points.

The improvement was quite noticeable.

Although his talent awakening rate didn't increase this time, which was a bit of a pity.

But one shouldn't be insatiable!

At this moment, Li Zhongshu suddenly thought of something.

It seemed he hadn't used his Honor Points yet.

Before, he didn't have any Honor Points, so he didn't care.

But now that he had 2100 points, Li Zhongshu was naturally a bit curious.

So he asked:

"System, what are these Honor Points used for?"

At this time, the system replied:

"Honor Points can be used for lucky draws, or to purchase star player skill packs in the store, including but not limited to NBA, Slam Dunk, Fire Basketball..."

Li Zhongshu was slightly stunned.

Hmm? It seemed some strange things were mixed in just now...

Fire Basketball?!

Rising Dragon from the Sea - Tornado Slam Dunk?

Blue Butterfly Body-Swaying Steps?

You've got to be kidding me!

This is no longer super-powered basketball; this is absolutely fantasy basketball!

However, when he opened the store, his face went completely blank.

"System, are you kidding me..."
