After changing his shoes, Yuuto sprinted the hundred meters back home.
Bang!
Bang!
He threw the door open and slammed it shut again.
Hearing the commotion, Kasugano Sora walked out of her room and complained, "You have to say 'I'm home' when you get back. Don't scare me every time, Baka-Cang!"
Which Kasugano Sora?
Since we mentioned Yosuga no Sora, which other Kasugano Sora could it be?
Of course, it's the Sora from the saying "Hate the crime, not the Sora"!
However, even though Sora was as beautiful as a flower, Yuuto's only response was, "Don't call me for dinner tonight!"
Bang~
The sound of a door closing came from upstairs. Sora furrowed her brows, huffed, and walked away.
Inside the room.
Yuuto tore down the poster of Teacher Hatano, then solemnly hung up a black-and-white photo of Boss Ma of the Penguin Empire (Tencent). He lit a few incense sticks before finally lying down on the bed.
"God Madoka..."
"No, wait. Simulation, start!"
Pew pew pew~~~
Hmm!
None of those strange sound effects occurred. He didn't even need to open his eyes; subtitles suddenly appeared before him.
On his way back, he had already figured out how to use this system.
The simulator requires spending one "Victory Point" to start each time.
A Victory Point comes from winning a match; winning one official game grants one point.
Then there is the simulation level.
Every upgrade contributes attribute points to improve Yuuto's five-dimensional stats.
Each simulation draws a random talent once.
After each simulation ends, the talent and memories gained can be brought back to reality.
As for the duration, the simulation lasts up to one year.
[Simulator Started]
[Random Talent Draw]
[Talent Acquired: The Big Fundamental]
[Congratulations on obtaining Purple Talent: The Big Fundamental]
[The Big Fundamental: Ultimate standardization of technical moves, minimalist tactical decision-making. Massively improves match consistency and ignores match intensity.]
"The Big Fundamental? The Big Stone Buddha?"
Of course, Yuuto knew what The Big Fundamental was.
This was the trademark of Tim Duncan, the greatest player in Spurs history.
He used these extremely standardized moves with almost unwavering stability throughout his 19-year career.
Well, not his entire career.
Before his injuries, Duncan was a power forward with explosive athleticism, nicknamed the "Flying Devil."
Young Duncan was also a high-flyer.
[Okukozome, the rural hometown of Kasugano Haruka's late grandfather. Having obtained your 'Golden Finger', you couldn't wait to start the first simulation.]
[You are very expectant. Now that you have a cheat, you wonder if you can beat those edgy kids from Teiko into imbeciles. This is very important to you, who dreams of making a living through basketball.]
[You started the simulation. You obtained the talent 'The Big Fundamental'. You know this is one of the trademarks of the NBA Hall of Famer and historical-level power forward, Tim Duncan.]
[At night, Kasugano Haruka comes up to knock on your door to call you for dinner.]
[You walk out of the room. You enjoy a not-so-lavish dinner with Kasugano Haruka and Kasugano Sora.]
[You are an orphan, adopted by the kind Kasugano couple when you were young, but this kind couple has already 'kicked the bucket' together.]
[You followed the twins, Haruka and Sora, to the rural town of Okukozome.]
[One year ago, you joined the Homi Academy basketball club and became a starting player thanks to your 'old geezer' level of rich experience.]
[Although you don't understand why Homi Academy, which was a high school in the original work, has become a middle school. Just like how the Kasugano parents were supposed to die when the siblings were in high school, yet they died early during middle school here.]
[But you can't worry about all that. You plan to start from this underdog team. You look forward to making a living playing ball and fulfilling your childhood basketball dream.]
[However, when the Nationals ended and you heard the champion team was named Teiko Middle School, your mental state collapsed. You realized you came to a world without literal monsters, but with 'monsters' nonetheless.]
[You gave up on basketball. You performed an on-the-spot retirement. Your cheap (adoptive) brother and sister, as well as your friends, were very confused.]
[They thought you just couldn't handle the blow of losing a game and would get better after a while. But until today, you hadn't returned to the basketball club.]
[During dinner, Kasugano Haruka wanted to ask you about this several times but was afraid of striking a nerve.]
[You are adopted, but you grew up with the Kasugano siblings. They don't treat you as an outsider.]
[After eating, you ran to the utility room and rummaged around. Kasugano Sora walked over curiously, holding a black bunny plushie, and asked, "Cang, what are you looking for?"]
[You said, "I'm looking for my basketball."]
[Hearing this, Kasugano Sora was greatly shocked. She intimately pressed her forehead against yours; she thought you were possessed.]
[You slapped her hand away and continued searching.]
[You found the dusty ball. Ignoring the shocked Kasugano siblings, you inflated the ball and hurriedly ran out of the house to a nearby court for rehabilitation training.]
"As expected of me, give me a little sunshine and I shine bright."
Yuuto watched the simulation, admiring himself greatly.
Rot when there's no hope, go hard when there is hope.
I deserve to succeed!
[On the first day of rehab training, you could feel your body had regressed significantly, but the 'The Big Fundamental' talent took your skills to the next level.]
[As an amateur-level player, under the blessing of The Big Fundamental, every move you make is textbook perfect.]
[Not flashy, but very practical. There is a charm of 'Great Truth is Simple' in it. You understand the greatness of Tim Duncan more truly.]
[You went home satisfied. The house has no air conditioning and it was hot. You took off your clothes upon returning, revealing a muscular physique.]
[Sora gasped "Hentai" and ran away blushing.]
[You didn't react, and believed there is nothing wrong with a man being a little perverted.]
[The next day, you returned to the basketball club. The scrubs in the club were pleasantly surprised.]
[As the starting Small Forward of Homi Academy, you put up excellent stats of 15+9+5 per game last year, making you one of the team's 'mini-thighs' (carries).]
[Hearing that you finally returned, the team coach smiled. He told you earnestly, "Success is temporary, but failure is the main theme."]
[You disagreed, because some people are always successful, and you hope to become such a person.]
[You said to the coach, "I came back to win the championship."]
