My Extraordinary Achievements

Chapter 131: Really Can’t Play Basketball

Halfway through the class, Xing Ta Ge squeezed next to Meng Fan from the other side of the room. Mr. Ma remained calm as if he didn’t see anything.

Xing Ta Ge handed the phone to Meng Fan and whispered, “Fatty, your sister’s pregnant?!”

After finding out about Meng Cai Wei being his sister, Meng Fan did not have to specifically remind Xing Ta Ge for him to remain tight-lipped. Even their other roommates didn’t know.

Just like how Zhang Zhou Wei did not disclose Meng fan’s relationship with Qin Jiao to anyone as well. It’s not like he wanted to intentionally conceal it, but because he could tell Meng Fan evidently did not want people to know, so he didn’t speak of it.

“I didn’t know your sister had a girlfriend?! There were several gossip boyfriends years ago, but everything was clarified. How can she be pregnant now? Do you know who your brother-in-law is?” Xing Ta Ge was desperate for gossip.

Meng Fan took a look at the news and smiled bitterly. He turned to Xing Ta Ge. “I might have more than one brother-in-law.”

Xing Ta Ge’s eyes turned big.

“Donuts, bubble tea, instant noodles, any high-calorie food you can think of is my brother in law.” Meng Fan saw Xing Ta Ge’s stunned expression, and added, “You can stop the gossip, my sister’s just trying to gain weight.”

“Gain weight? Why does she need to do that?” Xing Ta Ge saw Meng Fan nod. “Makes sense, with your sister’s personality, she would have long disclosed if she had a boyfriend or if she got married and was pregnant. She would never wait for the paparazzi to film her first!”

Meng Fan’s face twitched. “Why do I feel like you’re not complimenting my sister?!”

Xing Ta Ge chuckled and added, “Your sister is the most beautiful! No matter what she looks like!”

Seeing Mr. Ma finally take notice of them, Xing Ta Ge hurriedly sneaked back to his seat.

Since Mr. Ma misunderstood Meng Fan last time, Meng Fan had become his teacher’s pet. Xing Ta Ge knew that he could do anything and Mr. Ma would not care, but if he distracted Meng Fan from paying attention in class, his life would be over. It was best to hurry and leave.

“Meng Fan.”

As the class ended, Meng Fan had been packing up and was getting ready to leave when a voice called his name from the classroom entrance.

“… Senior Ah Ning?”

If he hadn’t heard the voice, Meng Fan would have had trouble recognizing the infamous cross-dressing senior Ah Ning. When this gender bender isn’t wearing girl’s clothes but men’s clothing, he was a whole different person!

“Senior Ah Ning you’re looking for me?”

Meng Fan was very polite and respectful to this crossdressing master. Only because Ah Ning was too glamorous when he was dressed as a woman, which overshadowed his other titles. Otherwise, he should have the words ‘champion’ and ‘top student’ in front of his name. He was the number one justice, the most beautiful male god, soulful black metal singer, diligent detective, and millions of other titles.

Also, can you imagine that a person like this cross-dressing master could have an eight pack abs and compete for bodybuilding competitions?

Thinking carefully, Meng Fan had some doubts that senior Ah Ning was also under the influence of this accomplishment system.

“This year’s school basketball tournaments are about to begin. I’m the coach for the basketball team, and today I’m asking you to join our team on behalf of all the other members.” Senior Ah Ning tried his best to make his voice less menacing.

The basketball skill level throughout the academy was not high, similar to their track and field level. The animation department was even weaker, not even having a proper coach, not to mention proper players. Senior Ah Ning was only temporarily appointed as a coach.

“Basketball tournament?” Meng Fan said. “But I don’t know how to play basketball!”

“You don’t know how to play basketball?” Senior Ah Ning’s voice uncontrollably deepened. “You’re not kidding me, are you? That shot you made during the opening ceremony, and your basketball machine stream, and you tell me you can’t play basketball? At least give me a real reason if you’re going to refuse!”

“I know how to score, but not how to play basketball.” Meng Fan said. “When I shoot, it’s always on an arcade machine. In my entire life, I’ve probably shot on less than ten times in my entire life, so don’t even mention dribbling and that sort of stuff.”

Senior Ah Ning seemed to be considering it carefully. True, he had never seen Meng Fan play basketball in school. He believed half of it. “Really?”

Meng Fan nodded.

Senior Ah Ning indulged for a moment and continued, “Then you can just be responsible for scoring. I won’t hide it from you, but we’ve been having trouble finding a proper shooter. You can shoot, accurately too, so you’re much better than someone who doesn’t know how to dribble or score. Currently, our team has 5 people. You will be the substitute, and we can try it out. Would that be okay?”

Meng Fan thought about it. “I can try it, but I can’t guarantee that I can still score properly if someone is blocking me.”

“Of course we won’t force you.” Senior Ah Ning was happy to hear Meng Fan’s response. After all, it was hard to find a decent player in the animation department.

Meng Fan didn’t know how to dribble or pass the ball, but it was hard to come by someone who was so accurate at scoring.

Besides, Meng Fan’s height was made for basketball. As for his figure… He was suitable to be a forward.

Only Meng Fan was responsible for scoring. He didn’t know how to dribble or pass the ball, so he would be a useless forward.

Rebounds? That seemed difficult as well.

Regardless, it was enough to have someone who could score.

“Do you have time in the afternoon then? Let’s go meet the players first and get to know each other. Also, try your accuracy on the basketball court, and your accuracy when someone is blocking you.”

“Okay, but I don’t have that much time.”

Meng Fan had a high sense of belonging and duty towards his class. He also had a collective sense of honor for the animation department, so he explained he was needed elsewhere afterward.

But truthfully, Meng Fan wasn’t sure if he could really help out.

His accuracy wasn’t an issue. Not only on shooting machines but on real baskets as well. After all, he was able to hit Zhang Zhou Wei’s cosplayed basketball hoop. But he had no idea what his precision would be like if someone was defending him.

When Meng Fan and Ah Ning left the classroom, most of the classmates in the room began to follow them out.

His classmates had all seen his basketball stream and knew of Meng Fan’s advancement into the Hangzhou city qualifiers. They were all curious to see his terrifying hand speed.

Hence, they all followed him to the basketball court.

Once they arrived, the other team members from the animation department were already there, with several spectators standing to the side as well. The spectators mostly consisted of students from freshman and junior years. They are most likely coerced into cheering for the team.

“Iron Uncle!”

Among them was Qu Jing Jing and her group of girls. Seeing Meng Fan, they all ran over.

When they heard Meng Fan was joining the basketball team to practice, the group of girls suddenly ran over, confusing Meng fan.

“Ball.”

Senior Ah Ning picked up a basketball and passed it to Meng Fan.

Thump.

When Meng Fan received it, he felt the ball, but he didn’t catch it.

Senior Ah Ning smiled awkwardly. “Uhm, let’s try scoring.”
