Chapter 1091 - 1089 The Basketball Game Begins
"Master Kazuo, there’s nothing we can do about this. It’s not that we didn’t try our best; it’s truly because the opponent’s hacker skills are too strong. They breached the servers in the blink of an eye and destroyed all the data. Anyone would be helpless in this situation..."
At this moment, Kōji Inoue also felt quite helpless as he spoke. Such an incident would leave anyone at a loss, and he didn’t want this to happen either, especially since the Instant Translation System was tied to the interests of Dongjing University.
"It’s all that damned Lin Feng’s fault. Without him, our Instant Translation System would not have encountered any issues. Moreover, I suspect that this incident must be related to Lin Feng. We must take our revenge. How dare they destroy our Instant Translation System; we can’t let them get away with it. How well-prepared are the other exchange programs? If you mess up again, I’ll hold you accountable!"
Although Mitsui Kazuo knew that what Kōji Inoue said was true, he really couldn’t swallow this insult and roared at Kōji Inoue once more. He had already surmised that the incident must have something to do with Lin Feng—first the Instant Translation System faced issues and then the servers were breached and all the data destroyed. If this wasn’t Lin Feng’s doing, he would be the devil not to believe it!
"Master Kazuo, rest assured, we are all prepared. This time, Yingbo University is doomed to fail. We have thoroughly investigated our opponent, and this time, we have invited the best people in their respective fields. We have also ensured the utmost secrecy—no one outside of a few people at Dongjing University knows. So at the Yingbo University exchange meeting, they are bound to be overwhelmed and defeated three times in a row. At that point, Yingbo University will lose face in front of the whole world."
Upon hearing Mitsui Kazuo’s question, Kōji Inoue immediately shared the relevant arrangements, and in preparation for this exchange, the university had made great efforts. They had utilized various connections to invite people like You Daizi and John Dee, and apart from a few individuals at Dongjing University, nobody knew about this. Therefore, in the upcoming exchange with Yingbo University, their defeat was certain—and a disastrous one at that!
"Good, let it be so. We must make them regret this time; I want them to be utterly defeated!"
Mitsui Kazuo finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Kōji Inoue’s words, then he spoke with a venomous tone. He hated Yingbo University and Lin Feng to the core. At this upcoming grand exchange event, he had to win no matter what. Otherwise, he would indeed face blame from within his own family...
"Master Kazuo, it’s all that damned Lin Feng’s fault! I also think he’s behind this skullduggery!"
"Kōji, do you think there is a way to completely cripple Lin Feng?"
"Master Kazuo, it’s best not to entertain such thoughts. My intelligence reports indicate that Lin Feng is a true master."
"Is that so? No, we must deal with that Lin Feng!"
...
Afterward, the two of them started discussing the future matters, planning to deal with Lin Feng, as they both felt that everything stemmed from him; without Lin Feng’s involvement, their prior plans would have encountered no issues. They could not wait to crush Lin Feng to dust...
...
After dinner, Lin Feng chatted with a few elders at home, delighting them immensely. Then he called over Leng Mei and Ding Wan’er to dine with them, which further pleased the elders. After finishing the meal, he led Leng Mei and Ding Wan’er back to the house he had previously built.
"Lin Feng, what different things have you seen in the Hidden World?"
"Does a Dharma Artifact Ship flying in the sky count?"
"A ship... Can ships fly in the sky?"
"Yes, but that thing is not simple, I’ll look into it more when I get the chance."
...
Afterward, Lin Feng chatted away with the two women, who were intrigued by the items of the Hidden World. Lin Feng didn’t hide anything and casually spoke of what he had seen in the Hidden World, prompting exclamations of amazement from the women. If possible, they both wanted to experience the Hidden World themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, time flew, and when it was time to rest, Leng Mei, seeing Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er getting up, intended to return to her room alone, leaving Lin Feng for Ding Wan’er. But no sooner had she stood up than she was seized by Ding Wan’er and dragged into the room.
What happened that night, no one knew; the only thing certain was that none of the three came out...
...
The next morning, Lin Feng and the two women woke up early. With their slightly shy demeanor, they stepped out of the house just in time to witness the three elders practicing Taichi Fist on the open ground, and the trio walked over to join them.
"Wow, grandpas, why do you all look so healthy?"
As they approached, Ding Wan’er exclaimed in amazement. Because of the lighting the night before, she hadn’t noticed, but outside in the morning, she could truly see that the elders were different now. Their complexions were rosy, yet not overly so, perfectly fitting the image of peak health. They brimmed with vitality uncharacteristic of their age. Suddenly witnessing such a significant change, how could she not be astonished!
Leng Mei did not speak from the sidelines, but she looked very healthy today, no longer as pale as before; her rosy and fair complexion made her look completely different from the previous Leng Mei. A knowing smile appeared on her face as she saw how well the three grandpas were doing. She didn’t need to think twice to know it was all thanks to Lin Feng. However, she was also very pleased to see the three grandpas so healthy.
"It’s all thanks to Lin Feng. With him around, what miraculous things can’t be achieved?"
"This is indeed miraculous. It hasn’t been long, but I can clearly feel that my body is in much better condition than before!"
"Meeting Lin Feng is really a stroke of luck for us three old guys!"
Hearing Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s conversation, the three old men chuckled with joy. They never imagined they could be in such a state of health at their age, and they were extremely grateful to Lin Feng for that.
"There’s no need for grandpas to say so; this is what I should do. Just stay here comfortably, and with the supply of spiritual energy, strengthening your body will be effortless. Living past a hundred years old won’t be a problem at all." Seeing the three old men so grateful, Lin Feng simply assured them that there was no need for such gratitude, as it was all within his duty.
After that, Lin Feng then took Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei to work.
In the morning, as Lin Feng had requested, Ding Wan’er gathered the basketball team for him to conduct a preliminary training session. Once that was done, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei went about their business, while Lin Feng led the basketball team for a brief collective training in preparation for the afternoon’s game.
By two o’clock in the afternoon, the Yingbo University gymnasium was packed with a sea of people. The vast gymnasium of Yingbo University did not have an empty seat, and even many students without seats stood to watch the upcoming basketball game between Yingbo University and Dongjing University—an event so thrilling it made countless basketball fans ecstatic.
"Doot..."
With a whistle, the game officially began. Dongjing University’s team consisted of five players who looked under twenty, clearly their own students. The match started off in a civilized manner without any unsportsmanlike conduct, demonstrating a high standard.
"Swish!"
With just a few simple passes, Yingbo University’s player number 15 suddenly shot a three-pointer, hitting it accurately and giving Yingbo University the first three points!
"Keep an eye on their number 15 and continue organizing the offense!" The tall and burly coach of Dongjing University, Koizumi Ichiro, immediately set out tasks. He recognized the player with number 15, Wu Yan, the main shooter of Yingbo University, known for his high shooting accuracy and definitely someone who needed to be closely guarded!
Hearing the coach’s instruction, the Dongjing University players instantly heightened their vigilance and focused on marking Wu Yan as they organized their offense. But they weren’t too hasty since the game had just begun. However, as soon as they entered Yingbo University’s half of the court, the situation changed dramatically!
All of a sudden, the three guards of Yingbo University started to steal the ball like their lives depended on it, putting tremendous pressure on Dongjing’s side. Left with no choice, they had to pass the ball frequently. However, in their haste, mistakes were bound to occur. In an instant, Yingbo University’s number 9 and captain, Geng Fei, saw his chance during a pass and intercepted it, sending the ball flying towards Wu Yan, who was already running forward!
"Quick, keep a watch on him, don’t let him shoot!"
Seeing the situation unfold, Koizumi Ichiro immediately shouted, leading his players to get back in defense. Wu Yan’s accuracy was too high to allow him free shots and possibly widen the gap in the score!
The Dongjing University players also heard Koizumi Ichiro’s instructions and immediately doubled up on Wu Yan, trying to block him from shooting. However, what they planned wasn’t necessarily what unfolded.
"Swish!"
Just as the two players approached Wu Yan, the basketball in his hands was suddenly released, but not towards the hoop. Instead, he passed it towards an open spot on the right!
"Slap!"
Geng Fei suddenly appeared, caught the ball, and then started a mad dash aiming for a forceful layup to score!
Seeing this, Dongjing University’s players immediately adopted a wall tactic to block Geng Fei and prevent him from scoring. But just as three players confronted Geng Fei, the ball he held was inconspicuously passed once again, and this time to Wu Yan, who had circled back to the vicinity of the three-point line!
Receiving the pass from Geng Fei, Wu Yan, without any hesitation, took off and, following a beautiful arc, made the shot!
"Swish!"
Another sound of the ball swishing through the net stunned the Dongjing University players. They had never thought Yingbo University could have such coordination, almost on par with professional teams—it was simply astonishing!
"Applause..."
At this moment, thunderous applause erupted from within the gymnasium. The cooperation between Wu Yan and Geng Fei had been in perfect sync and was so beautiful. Such skilled play was truly rare, and they were all applauding Geng Fei and Wu Yan!
