MMORPG; The Ring of the Almighty
Chapter 9: Nerd Superman
“Ninth grade trash! Shaking in the shadow of your boss!” Xu Hao, the sixth-grade attacker shouted as he raised his hand, ridiculing the ninth-grade. He caught the ball from the wrong ninth grade and jumped. His legs were so strong that he easily passed the level of a ninth-grade defense chief and passed the ball to the team members. When Xu Hao was under the ring, the player passed the ball back to him. With a powerful and unstoppable leap, he caught the ball in mid-air and threw the ball into the circle.
*bip*
The referee blew his whistle, signaling the end of the second half. The score was 77-13. The lower scores clearly belonged to ninth grade.
“Friends! Don't give up yet! Here, drink water!” Sun Mengmeng squeaked as she ran towards the basketball team and handed out drinks. Even having a large group of girls cheering them on doesn't seem to help much.
That was a big blow. In just two rounds, sixth grade managed to break the spirit of ninth grade. This isn't even a match. They are in a completely different league. How could a bunch of nerds fight an NBA class player?!
"Jeez .. I don't think we can do it .." Wang Chen groaned. His sports t-shirt was completely drenched in sweat. You can't find a single dry spot on her! Due to the cold weather, you could see steam billowing from above his head like a steam engine!
“What bullshit! Does anyone in our class really play basketball?” Zhao Feng snorted.
“Polished. Wang Chen and the others had done their best. They are the best. We can only rely on them. No one else can even dribble without tripping his own feet!”
Sun Mengmeng sighed. That's how most "honor classrooms are". Students may perform quite well academically, but they will do poorly in PE.
“Yo! Rubbish thing! Are we still playing?” Xu Hao, the same man who had mocked the class earlier shouted. When he was just greeted with silence, he gathered some of his "gangs" and walked towards the ninth grade students. In all other tests, the sixth grade would completely annihilate them.
That's why they have a grudge against "honor class" students". At least sixth grade was better than them at something, and they would utilize that to humiliate ninth grade.
“You!”
Zhao Feng stood up and pointed at Xu Hao with trembling fingers.
“What? Not happy? What can you do?”
Xu Hao raised his brows mocking and laughed.
“Bubby boy, if you want to finish the score, come to the floor and play!” said Xu Hao while staring at Zhao Feng. As he turned around, with his back facing Zhao Feng, he said, "I'll squeeze the living dirt out of you, fatty!"
“APA-You–”
Zhao Feng had enough. However, right before he wanted to do something, Jiang Fei stepped between them.
"Xu Hao .. What is it?" jiang Wei said calmly. He never wanted to be involved in any class activities. However, Zhao Feng was his brother-in-law; a friend who was like his own brother. He would never let his own brother be underestimated by a bully.
“See who it is. The famous ninth grade nerd. What do you want? Mopping the floor with your face?” said Xu Hao as he turned around and laughed, not taking Jiang Fei seriously.
“Hei, nerds. If you want to play ball, you have to practice. We're not having fun here, okay? We had a real match. No one wants to play your game! So why don't you go back to your game, where no one wants to play with you!”
Li Qiang, another good basketball player from the sixth grade, teased Jiang Fei. In fact, he was afraid that Jiang Fei would escalate the situation into a match in the digital realm. Jiang Fei was famous in school for his talent in digital games, including digital sports!
“Real games huh? Good. It's a good game. See you on the floor!”
Jiang Fei smirked. Coincidentally, he activated Cat Spirit Boots of Accuracy. Also coincidentally, this match was a great place to test it!
“Jiang Fei? Are you sure you're ready for that? " Sun Mengmeng pulled Jiang Fei aside and asked anxiously. He had good reason to ask, because Jiang Fei had never been seen exerting himself in any case.
“I'll be fine. It's just a game. Okay?" jiang Fei said with a faint smile.
“Then, just do it.”
Sun Mengmeng nodded. Since the score had already avalanche, what was the worst thing that might have happened?
"Brother Fei, are you really sure you'll be okay?" said Zhao Feng anxiously. He too, had good reason to worry about his friend. After all, sixth grade had just mocked him. Playing right in their hands and being humiliated was the last thing he wanted Jiang Fei to get.
“Quiet. Since when have I embarrassed myself?”
Jiang Fei grinned and patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder with confidence.
*bip*
The referee blew his whistle to start the third round.
“It's time. Jiang Fei's! Which position do you want?” Wang Chen asked.
“I don't care. Just give me the ball when you get the chance. ” Jiang Fei replied with a big smile on his face.
“No hint. Even if he couldn't, how would it change his points?” Wang Chen rolled his eyes. He doesn't care about the match anymore. It can no longer be saved. Be it Jiang Fei or anyone else, it would end the same.
“Come! Let sixth grade teach you what basketball is! ” Xu Hao shouted while passing the ball to the defender.
“Everything! Ride on! The crowd ahead. Let's destroy them!” After destroying the ninth grade for two consecutive rounds, Xu Hao had lost all hope of his opponent's abilities. As the ball entered his palm, he slipped across the field like a storm.
“Haha! Hey geek! Let me see—WHAT IT IS!”
Xu Hao laughed as he was about to approach Jiang Fei. One day, he was there. The next moment, he disappeared from his sight!
“Thank you for the ball!”
Jiang Fei appeared behind the back player; the ball was now in his hands!
“KOBE!”
*dunk*
Jiang Fei easily dipped the ball, scoring 2 points!
“What just happened?” Point guard screaming. Before he could do anything, the ball mysteriously disappeared and was already in the middle of the field, in the hands of a geek!
“Fieh. That's not too hard, is it?”
Jiang Fei grinned confidently.
Increasing one's movement speed by 3 points is nothing in the game world but in real life! Three meters in one second is inhuman! That, and the extra agility buff that the boots provided made Jiang Fei an actual NBA player!
“Friends. Be careful with that kid. He's fast!”
Xu Hao frowned. There must be something wrong with the geek. The 2-point throw was nothing compared to the overall score, but Jiang Fei came as a huge blow to his ego. The entire team had not even started moving, and the ball had been snatched away in an instant.
“WOOHOO! THAT'S MY GUY! Brother FEI! PREPARE THEIR COMPLEMENT!” Zhao Feng shouted with all his might.
“Jiang Fei! Jiang Fei's! Jiang Fei!"'s!" All the ninth grade girls started cheering Jiang Fei on.
Who would have thought they would hide a professional player! That fact alone was enough to make the girls of the ninth grade become extremely excited.
“NOTE!” Xu Hao shouted as the point guard dealt a backhand blow. Back then, none of the players dared to lower their guard. They go back to their standard strategy and spread.
"Hmm ..." Jiang Fei frowned. It was easier at first because everyone greatly underestimated it. Now, everyone is on full alert. Strengthening his movement speed was good, but it would be difficult, or rather, impossible for him to challenge the five of them alone. He needs help. He needs his team to work together!
“Listen. Stand up and guard outside the circle. Ignore circle!” yang Jiang Fei.
It's no use…
The enemy point guard was too high and powerful. Even if all of Jiang Fei's teams rushed forward as one, they would not be able to get past their defenses, let alone approach the opponent's ring! There was no room for them to make a stand.
“Give me the ball!” jiang Fei shouted as the opposing point guard raised him. At that moment, Xu Hao had pulled himself out of the crowd and was able to sneak past ninth-grade point guards and snatch the ball, although Wang Chen had the entire team maintaining that position. They are too weak!
“YA!” xu Hao shouted as he was about to shoot. He knew that Jiang Fei was not the same person he had in mind. He was a threat, and the sixth grade did not dare to look down on him.
“BERI I THE THREE POINTS!” exclaimed Xu Hao. He retreated two quick steps to create a breathing space between Yang Ming and himself before jumping and shooting!
“SKOR!” Xu Hao shouted again, confident as the ball left his palm.
“In your dreams!”
Just as Xu Hao was grinning confidently, Jiang Fei quickly rushed behind Yang Ming and was between Xu Hao and the circle. It was only a distance of about four people, yet Jiang Fei was able to reach that place in a split second.
*wham*
Before the ball could even reach the ring, Jiang Fei angrily slammed the ball away.
“What the hell... BROTHER FEI IS TOO COOL!” Zhao Feng shouted in excitement, as if he was the one who had just performed the stunt.
