Chapter 125 Good and fun-loving
Yuan Bao, panting heavily, slumped down beside the ancient well. Suddenly, the familiar and crisp system notification sounded in his mind: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest: rescuing the soul from another world and helping it return safely. Reward: 1000 points."
Yuan Bao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile, and the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.
She knew in her heart that Luo Xiaoyu was definitely safe and sound.
On his way home, Yuan Bao suddenly remembered Xiao Jiu, who had been less visible lately, so he asked, "Xiao Jiu, what have you been busy with lately? You haven't been around much since the system upgrade!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Little 9's playful figure appeared in Yuan Bao's mind. It habitually spun around in the air and said excitedly, "Master, the system upgrade is so much fun! Now we can connect to the internet, and my system can play mahjong with other systems."
"Hehe, so you really know how to play mahjong! No wonder you insisted I call you 'Nine-in-a-Row' before!" Yuan Bao couldn't help but laugh, his eyes full of teasing.
Little 9 scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and explained, "No, it's precisely because I don't know how to play that I'm just starting to learn, and that's why I'm so addicted!"
"Oh? How many gold coins did you win?" Yuan Bao asked, intrigued.
Little 9 froze instantly, awkwardly nudging each other with its two little paws, and lowering its voice: "Uh! Right now, I'm losing more than I'm winning."
"So he's both bad at the game and loves to play, huh...?" Yuan Bao laughed mercilessly, his laughter echoing through the street.
Seeing that things were going badly, Little 9 quickly tried to change the subject. With a quick glint in her eyes, she cleverly asked, "Hey! Do you know how to play mahjong, young master?"
"Uh! You've hit the nail on the head. I can't play! And even if I did, I'd be really bad at it. But I don't like playing because I almost always lose. My former colleagues always said it's okay if you can't play." Yuan Bao shrugged helplessly, reminiscing about the past.
"Later I learned that the full meaning of that sentence is: It's okay if you don't know how to play, as long as you can lose money." After Yuan Bao finished speaking, he and Xiao 9 burst into laughter, and the journey home was filled with joyful chatter.
The next morning, Yuan Bao arrived at school early and, sure enough, saw Luo Xiaoyu sitting in her seat, looking energetic. Upon seeing Yuan Bao, she immediately came over to thank him: "Yuan Bao, thank you so much for yesterday! When I woke up this morning, my roommate told me that you were the one who helped me back to the dorm. After being hit by that ball yesterday, my head felt foggy, and I slept for a long time last night, but I feel great this morning!"
"Yes, yes, it's good that you're alright! The school doctor said yesterday that you were fine and would be okay after a good night's sleep," Yuan Bao said with a smile. Sometimes, not knowing is better than knowing.
Just then, Zhang Mengmeng walked into the classroom humming a cheerful tune and immediately spotted Yuan Bao chatting happily with Luo Xiaoyu.
Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a treasure. Her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and she quickened her pace, almost running to Yuan Bao's side.
"Yuan Bao!" Zhang Mengmeng shouted, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement, waving her hands in the air. "Yesterday afternoon, after you left, the people from Class 4 came to us, saying they wanted to arrange a basketball game!"
As she spoke, she gestured animatedly, her smile as bright as a blooming flower.
Before Yuan Bao could respond, Zhang Mengmeng continued, "I agreed without even thinking! We'll have a showdown with their class this afternoon at 4:30! What about you? No other plans?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation and fighting spirit, as if she could already see the intense scene of the competition.
Yuan Bao raised an eyebrow, a confident smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Okay! No problem. But do you know how good they are?" Her tone was unhurried, her eyes revealing curiosity and a hint of anticipation for the competition.
Zhang Mengmeng scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard that some girls in their class are pretty good at basketball, but we're not bad either! With you here, plus our intensive training yesterday, we're sure to win!" She patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder, her eyes full of trust.
At 4:30 pm, the sun was shining brightly, and the basketball court was filled with students from various classes who came to cheer them on.
Yuan Bao, Zhang Mengmeng, and their teammates stood on the court with high spirits, while the girls from Class 4 on the other side were also eager to compete, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.
Class 4 served first, and their excellent teamwork allowed them to quickly break through Yuan Bao's defense and score the first two points.
Zhang Mengmeng was getting anxious and looked at Yuan Bao, but Yuan Bao remained calm. She signaled to her teammates with her eyes to keep the pace steady while quickly moving to a new position.
Soon, Yuan Bao seized the opportunity and successfully intercepted the ball.
She dribbled towards the basket like a whirlwind. Facing the defense of the Class 4 players, she nimbly changed direction and made a beautiful three-step layup, the basketball swishing through the net.
A cheer erupted from the sidelines, instantly boosting the morale of Class One.
Then Yuan Bao, Zhang Mengmeng and their teammates pressed their advantage, scoring consecutive points and widening the gap to 8 points.
At this point, with only a few minutes left in the game, Class 4 adopted a close-following strategy, making the situation extremely tense.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath and calmly observed the situation on the field.
She gave her teammates a hand signal, and they immediately understood and began to coordinate their tactics.
Yuan Bao received the ball outside the three-point line, and the Class 4 players immediately surrounded him to defend.
She feigned a drive, then suddenly jumped, the basketball arcing beautifully through the air before swishing cleanly into the three-pointer! The entire arena erupted in cheers; Class One was now leading by eleven points.
Subsequently, Yuan Bao and his teammates strengthened their defense and successfully stopped two attacks by Class 4.
As the referee blew the final whistle, Yuan Bao's class won the game with an eleven-point lead.
The teammates cheered and rushed towards Yuan Bao, embracing each other tightly, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.
Zhang Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, we did it! We've won our first battle!"
Yuan Bao and his teammates were still immersed in the joy of victory, cheering and jumping excitedly, and hugging each other.
At this moment, the members of Class 4 walked over in neat steps.
Wang Changyue, the captain of Class 4, walked at the front. Her face showed a hint of disappointment, but even more so, admiration for her opponents.
She approached Yuan Bao, extended her hand, and sincerely said, "Congratulations on winning the match! You played so brilliantly today, we are completely convinced."
Yuan Bao quickly grasped her hand and replied with a smile, "Thank you, you all played very well too. Luck also played a part in our victory today."
Li Yuyao, a key player from Class 4, also stepped forward. She looked at Yuan Bao with admiration in her eyes: "Your basketball skills are amazing, especially those three-pointers, they were absolutely incredible! We'll have to ask you for advice in the future."
Yuan Bao scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Don't say that. Everyone has their own strengths, and basketball is a team sport. You can't do without any teammate."
The other team members from the other four classes also gathered around to offer their congratulations.
Some said, "Your teamwork is so good, we really learned a lot today."
Others said, "This game was so exciting! It really showed us the charm of basketball. We'll definitely come back to challenge you again next time!"
Zhang Mengmeng smiled and said to the team members of Class 4, "You are welcome to come and challenge us anytime. I believe the next competition will be even more exciting!"
