Chapter 77 One ball for 110,000! The whole NBA wants to steal the ball from me!
He Yuman was amused by Wang Xiucheng's appearance.
Although she knew Wang Xiucheng had become stronger, she didn't explain. Instead, she took out her phone and sent Wang Xiucheng a picture message.
“These are the houses that are currently for sale in Sugar City. The prices are all listed here, so don’t get scammed,” He Yuman said.
Wang Xiucheng was slightly taken aback. "Your family doesn't still have influence in Sugar City, does it?"
“You don’t know that a third of Sugar Land’s population is Chinese, do you?” He Yuman hooked Wang Xiucheng’s chin.
Wang Xiucheng blinked, somewhat bewildered. No one had told him about this before.
"By the way, my two junior brothers will be following you from now on, and they'll be responsible for your safety."
"If you get hurt there, I'll be very sad."
He Yuman glanced down, which made Wang Xiucheng feel a chill down below.
"I'll have them come find you tomorrow morning."
Without waiting for Wang Xiucheng's reply, He Yuman jumped out of the window.
Soon the roar of sports cars resumed.
Wang Xiucheng then accessed the system to check.
[Complete the branching task (repeatable), reward 100 system points.]
Ha ha!
Wang Xiucheng was so angry he almost threw his belt away.
Only 100 points?
Whether it's Jenner or Yang Mi, the "minimum spend" is 1000 points.
But He Yuman's minimum spending requirement is only 100 points?
Are you just trying to freeload here?
Moreover, why do you look so unsatisfied with your mere 100-point reward?
……
The next morning at ten o'clock, the two men indeed came to knock on the door.
Wang Xiucheng opened the door himself.
"Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Wu Di, and this is my brother, Wu Jia. My senior sister asked us to be your bodyguards."
Ultraman Tiga? What a great name.
Both of them looked very tall; Wu Di was about 1.9 meters tall, about the same height as Wang Xiucheng.
Wu Jia is a bit short, but he is still over 1.8 meters tall.
Moreover, both of them were very strong, just like those prisoners in American TV shows who only know how to build muscle every day.
Fortunately, Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma were at work, otherwise they might have been frightened.
After asking the two to sit down, Wang Xiucheng also called Ma Wei and Ma Xiaoxuan downstairs.
After they got to know each other, Wang Xiucheng looked at the two muscular men with Chinese faces and asked, "How much salary do you want?"
"There's...there's still a salary?" Wu Jia looked at his older brother.
“Our senior sister has paid us,” Wu Di said at this moment. “3000 dollars per person per month, that’s enough.”
Wang Xiucheng nodded to himself, thinking that the woman still had some conscience.
“What she gave me is hers, it has nothing to do with me.” Wang Xiucheng paused for a moment: “I will give each of you another 3000 dollars, and other expenses will be calculated separately.”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." The Wu brothers looked excited.
"Don't call me Mr. Wang. You're all around 18, right? Then call me 'brother' too," Wang Xiucheng said. "Alright, you guys drive to the back street and wait for me. We'll go out in a bit."
"Understood, Brother Wang." The two stood up, nodded, and left.
"What's going on?"
Ma Xiaoxuan asked the question at this moment, and Ma Wei also looked at Wang Xiucheng.
“A friend in Chinatown was worried about me and introduced me to a bodyguard.” Wang Xiucheng pointed to the cars across the street.
Ma Wei's eyes darted around, as if he had remembered something, and he tentatively asked, "He Yuman?"
“It’s her.” Wang Xiucheng shook his head helplessly.
Ma Xiaoxuan didn't ask any more questions, but just frowned slightly.
"Old Gordon said he has a house to sell to me, let's go take a look in a bit."
"Brother, you want to buy a house?" Ma Wei jumped up from his chair excitedly.
“If I stay here any longer, it will cause trouble for your parents.” Wang Xiucheng said with slight concern, “I have been neglecting this issue.”
Although Wang Xiucheng is not considered a big star in the eyes of the United States.
But it couldn't stop the international students who came for the traffic.
These people standing around outside may not necessarily pose any danger, but over time it will cause trouble for the surrounding neighbors, which is not a good thing for Uncle Ma either.
"Listen to your brother, let's go right now. I'll go get the car keys."
A few minutes later, the two cars drove away one after the other on the back street.
……
The Houston Rockets' office building.
The top-floor conference room.
There were only four people in the meeting room at that time.
Fertitta, wearing reading glasses, was looking at a report in her hand.
This report is a compilation of data from all players' last ten matches, gathered by the data department.
A few minutes later, Fertitta took off his glasses, paused for a few seconds, and then asked softly, "How many consecutive losses have we suffered?"
Neither Stone nor Silas on the other side dared to speak.
Patrick, who was playing on his phone next to him, didn't even look up and casually said, "15 consecutive losses."
Stone and Silas both showed slight changes in expression.
“Isn’t that a bit too much?” Fertitta shook his head first, then frowned and said, “Although I told you to tank, you’ve only won one game so far, which is a bit too little.”
Just as he finished speaking, Fertitta's phone rang. He glanced at the number, picked up the phone, and went outside.
"I heard the league is considering investigating us, saying a team reported us for deliberately tanking," Patrick said mysteriously.
Stone and Silas exchanged a glance. Who's being so annoying? My loss is no one's fault but yours?
Pistons? Or Magic? Kings? Thunder?
It must be one of these few bad teams; the other teams are probably hoping we lose.
“Win a few games, otherwise my dad won’t look good.” Patrick picked up his phone and left the meeting room.
Stone and Silas looked at each other, as if they had instantly exchanged countless messages.
……
On the evening of the 24th, at the Kazeta Center.
The Rockets will host the Bulls today.
The Bulls currently have a record of 12 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.
The Rockets are ranked last in the entire league, so this is a game with no suspense for anyone.
Today there's a highly anticipated game between the Nets and the Celtics, and O'Neal and Barkley went to broadcast the game.
However, both players still posted a tweet before the game, "kindly" reminding each other that Wang Xiucheng's steal reward had accumulated to $11.
11 million!
This is definitely not a small amount of money.
That's even equivalent to many people's annual income.
But this money was only a reward for defeating Wang Xiucheng.
It's not just the fans who are envious; many players are envious too.
These players retweeted the two players' tweets and wrote that they hoped Wang Xiucheng would continue to maintain this record, and that they would intercept the ball from him and take the reward.
Penguin Live Room.
Wang Meng is currently on a video call with Meng Chao.
Tencent Sports is now investing all its resources into the Rockets' games, ensuring that both the guests and female anchors are top-notch.
A self-produced basketball program will inevitably include topics related to the Rockets.
Furthermore, Tencent has just launched its best-equipped 3D live streaming studio, specifically for broadcasting Rockets games.
The reason so much money was spent is naturally because the potential benefits were seen.
The Rockets now have more than a dozen sponsors, especially the companies that haven't signed contracts with Wang Xiucheng, who dare not lag behind in the live streaming arena.
And the brands that Wang Xiucheng endorses are even less likely to give up this battlefield.
So when fans turn on the live stream, whether they like it or not, they will see various product models such as condoms, bottled water, mobile phones, sneakers, and shampoo.
"I just got the starting lineup." Meng Chao said excitedly into the camera, holding his phone. "Wang Xiucheng will be starting for the first time today."
Upon hearing this news, the live chat exploded!
