Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 540: Chapter 533 To Our Lost Youth

Nangong Bing didn’t say much more, after all, that little rascal just now was indeed a bit annoying.

The four of them arrived at the school’s sports hall and first gathered the members of the Real Madrid Team. However, these people seemed to lack spirit, except for Liu Minghui, the gorilla-like figure. They all looked like the kind who lacked self-confidence.

When the members of the Real Madrid Team saw Sister Hua leading Nangong Bing out, everyone present lit up instantly!

”Who is this sister?” Liu Minghui swallowed his saliva, only daring to glance at Nangong Bing before quickly looking away. The others weren’t much better than Liu Minghui.

”She’s my cousin, and she came to cheer us on today, so you all can’t let us down!”

It seemed Huahua wasn’t as dim-witted as imagined, knowing full well that the Real Madrid Team was just put together temporarily and didn’t stand a chance against those athletic prodigies. Now, by bringing her cousin, the Bodhisattva Nangong Bing, she had managed to give these young people a boost. With a beauty present, even if they played badly, they still had to give it their all.

”Wow! Sister Hua, your cousin is so pretty!”

”Go away! Just play the game well for me today, and tonight I’ll treat you all to a big meal, let’s all gather together,” Huahua said nonchalantly.

”A big meal? Ugh, that’s a bit challenging. Looks like we’re not going to get that meal.”

”Yeah, with the top five teams so strong, how could we, with our lowly level, possibly contend for first place? It’d be tough to even fight for the top three. Last time, if it weren’t for Brother Lin, where would we have had the chance to contend for the top five?”

”Ah, Sister Hua, we’ll try our best.” The gorilla Liu Minghui nodded, well aware that whether they could win first place wasn’t important anymore because they all knew their own strength.

How could a band of robbers possibly compete with a regular army?

”No way! Even if we can’t get first today, getting into the top three shouldn’t be a problem, right? There are only five basketball teams in total, it shouldn’t be too much pressure to get into the top three?”

Huahua stood with her hands on her hips, appearing to take the match very seriously. After all, she had invited her cousin over; how could she not care?

”Everyone shouldn’t bear too much pressure, just do your best. Competition comes second, friendship first. Even if you lose, it doesn’t really mean anything,” Nangong Bing smilingly addressed everyone, and her words moved them greatly.

”Right, the competition isn’t important; it’s the participation that counts, right, Huahua?” Lin Zifeng also felt there was no need to worry too much about the outcome of the match.

”Yeah, okay, but you all have to try your hardest, we can’t lose too badly.” After everyone chimed in, Huahua thought it over and felt they were right. After all, the Real Madrid Team was just cobbled together and didn’t really have a background in basketball; at best, they were just a bit better than the average person.

”Alright, the game is about to start soon, so get ready, everyone. Win or lose, I’m treating tonight, so let’s all relax,” Nangong Bing said.

When the Goddess spoke, the effect was indeed different. As soon as Nangong Bing finished speaking, almost everyone below erupted with excitement.

And Nangong Bing, not often doing so, folded her arms and watched the group of kids with interest.

To be honest, Nangong Bing had always longed for college life in China. Despite graduating abroad, she felt foreign universities weren’t as free as those in China.

In China, it’s the middle and high school stages that are the most demanding. Once you enter university, it almost equates to liberation, whereas abroad, middle and high school are much more relaxed, with university graduation notoriously difficult.

Looking at these youths brimming with vitality, Nangong Bing felt quite envious.

After all, college itself represents youth.

Once you leave campus life, youth can never return to that innocent and beautiful age.

She also once had a memory dedicated to her youth—

Seeing the softer look in the eyes of the City Lord, Lin Zifeng felt a bit puzzled. This was illogical; how could the so-called Ice Queen be smiling today? And the smile remained on her face, too. Why had he not noticed that before?

After getting ready, the group made their way one after another to the sports hall.

Looking at the sports hall filled with thousands of people, not only were Nangong Bing and the others stunned, but Lin Zifeng was also startled by the magnitude of it.

It can’t be that exaggerated, can it?

Looking around the entire sports hall, it was almost comparable to the Bird’s Nest during a sporting event!

Nearly five thousand people had gathered in the sports hall to watch the ongoing game.

The cheers erupted from time to time, so loud that my eardrums were a bit sore.

After finally finding a seat, Nangong Bing covered her mouth, unable to hide the excitement in her heart as she watched the intense competition unfolding below.

This was the match she had always wanted to see, and she hadn’t expected to witness it again at the university sports hall today—it felt like a dream.

Yunhai University was already a top domestic institution, and after merging with several other universities in the past few years, this century-old prestigious school expanded even further.

Even someone as worldly as Nangong Bing couldn’t hide her excitement when facing the sea of people in the sports hall. To have such a large open-air sports hall was a rarity in China, and perhaps it was even unique.

”Eh! Lin Zifeng!”

Just as everyone had barely settled down, a familiar voice suddenly reached Lin Zifeng’s ears.

”Er...counselor!” Lin Zifeng’s face darkened.

”You’re here too?” Yan Qingcheng seemed surprised. She had thought that this student, who she considered to be subpar, wouldn’t attend the school’s basketball game, yet here he was.

”I’m actually playing in the match in a bit,” Lin Zifeng replied honestly.

”Oh! Which team are you on?”

”Real Madrid.”

”Real Madrid?” Yan Qingcheng’s gaze shifted slightly, but she soon fell silent and turned her attention to the three beautiful girls sitting next to him. She took the initiative to ask, ”And who might these ladies be?”

”Hello, my name is Nangong Bing,” Nangong Bing stood up first, introducing herself courteously.

”Hello, teacher, my name is Hua Buqi.”

”Liu Tangtang.”

”Nice to meet you all, I’m Yan Qingcheng.”

Soon enough, the four women got acquainted in no time, and they seemed to hit it off even faster than Lin Zifeng had imagined. Before long, the group of beauties was chatting and laughing, completely ignoring the presence of a certain someone.

From time to time, Yan Qingcheng would sneak peeks at that someone, gritting her teeth in irritation.

She hadn’t expected this guy to be so fortunate in love, managing to be acquainted with Nangong Bing from the Tianyu Group, and it seemed even the two campus beauties appeared quite close to him—

One could only imagine what this guy was up to?

After several matches, the grand finale of the ultimate competition was underway.

A team organized by the sports department of Yunhai University, the Green Arrow Team, emerged victorious. They were unstoppable, slaying gods when they encountered gods and Buddhas when they encountered Buddhas, crushing all opponents to the ground!

The remaining opponent, said to be a ragtag Real Madrid team temporarily formed by Yunhai University, was so feeble that the Green Arrow Team could hardly be bothered to play against such trash, requesting the university sports association to simply declare the result and save time rather than engage with such rabble.

Even many basketball fans began to demand that the Real Madrid Team be kicked out, reasoning how such a trash team could possibly contend with the Green Arrow Team—it would be a total waste of time.
