Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?
Chapter 131 - 130 Idol Replacement

Chapter 131: Chapter 130 Idol Replacement

The girl who was called out couldn’t quite believe it and looked around herself.

Only then did she confirm that the handsome guy was indeed talking to her.

Because the spot where the basketball had rolled to was right where that girl stood.

Feeling like she had been favored by the goddess of luck, the girl was so excited she didn’t know what to do.

"Basketball."

Seeing that the female student had gone a bit silly, Su Mu pointed at the basketball on the ground.

It was as if the girl finally realized what was going on.

She bent down and picked up the basketball from the ground.

But the girl didn’t throw the ball back as Su Mu had instructed.

She held the basketball in her arms and trotted over to Su Mu.

"Your ball."

The girl, blushing, handed the ball to Su Mu.

This close-up view made the handsome guy seem even more handsome in the girl’s eyes.

Su Mu took the ball and mentally corrected the girl’s words.

"It’s not my ball, it’s the one that was meant to hit me."

He weighed the ball in his hand and estimated the distance between himself and Senior Zhou on the basketball court.

Well, that Zhou fellow’s skills weren’t bad; he could throw with such accuracy from a distance.

It also proved that Zhou’s shooting skills were quite good, with high precision.

Su Mu assessed in his mind that his own basketball skills were quite ordinary.

To achieve a hit from such a long distance like Zhou had done, would be quite challenging.

Of course, because of Su Mu’s super quick reflexes, Zhou Haoming ultimately failed to hit his target.

But Su Mu didn’t have to fret over his own basketball skills at all.

"Checked in at the basketball court!"

He hadn’t used today’s check-in opportunity yet, and Su Mu thought, now was the perfect time.

"Ding! You have successfully checked in at the basketball court and have been rewarded with Champion Basketball Skill!"

As the system’s voice rang out, various basketball techniques appeared in Su Mu’s mind.

Together with the emergence of these skills, Su Mu’s hands and feet began to tremble rapidly.

A few minutes

In a very short time, everything returned to normal.

Nobody noticed what Su Mu had just experienced.

Nor did anyone know that in such a short time, Su Mu had transformed from a basketball novice to a top-tier basketball expert.

In fact, even if those top professional basketball players in the world were to challenge Su Mu now, it was not certain Su Mu would lose.

If Su Mu were to practice and get familiar with it, winning would be a very simple matter.

Everyone kept staring at Su Mu.

Not only because of the handsome guy’s attractiveness, but there was also a great curiosity in everyone’s mind.

The handsome guy had asked for the basketball to be handed to him, only to weigh it in his hand a few times without any follow-up?

Everyone felt there had to be more to it, right?

They were all educated people, still in possession of their wits.

The throw from Zhou Haoming just now was obviously deliberate.

There’s no such thing as a slip; the world doesn’t work on that kind of coincidence.

Those who knew Zhou Haoming were aware of his basketball skills.

Such precise aim was not the result of a fluke.

Moreover, the basketball game had already paused, so there was no chance for Zhou Haoming to throw the ball like that.

The only conclusion was that Zhou Haoming had intentionally aimed at the handsome guy.

The specific reason was unclear.

It seemed that the handsome guy and Zhou Haoming didn’t know each other.

Everyone was speculating. Could it be that Zhou Haoming, upon seeing a guy more handsome than himself, got angry and resorted to such actions?

Whatever the case, such behavior was Zhou Haoming’s fault.

Everybody was now waiting for Su Mu’s countermove.

After all, Su Mu had retrieved the basketball, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Haoming.

Everyone felt that Su Mu’s intentions were very clear.

To retaliate for that ball.

Even Zhou Haoming felt the same.

Zhou Haoming’s sneak attack hadn’t succeeded, and now Su Mu looked at him with a tiger’s vigilance.

All of Zhou Haoming’s nerves were tense.

His eyes didn’t blink as they stared at the basketball in Su Mu’s hands.

Zhou Haoming knew in his heart that he didn’t have the reaction speed of that handsome guy in the distance.

Getting ready in advance was the only thing Zhou Haoming could do.

In the end, Zhou Haoming didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of the girl in white.

Watching a Zhou on high alert staring at him.

More accurately, staring at the basketball in his hands.

Su Mu’s lips curved into a smile.

"My god, the handsome guy looks even more handsome when he smiles."

"Senior Zhou is done for this time, the handsome guy is looking for revenge."

"It’s Senior Zhou’s own fault, after all. Who told him to sneak attack the handsome guy from behind? That’s karma."

"Weren’t you Senior Zhou’s most loyal fan before? How come your attitude changed so quickly?"

"I’m the head of the Yanzhi Association, and now I officially announce that my idol has changed."

...

It’s a society that judges by appearances.

The female students who had come to cheer for Zhou Haoming switched sides in an instant and became Su Mu’s supporters.

Even before the person of interest had expressed any opinion, some people had already started to denounce Zhou Haoming’s ungentlemanly behavior.

The girls’ voices weren’t concealed, possibly in an attempt to attract Su Mu’s attention.

Su Mu indeed heard them, but he showed no reaction and didn’t glance at the girls who were vocally supporting him.

Su Mu had seen this kind of situation too many times to be curious about it anymore.

As for Zhou Haoming, still standing on the basketball court, his face turned red because of the girls’ discussions.

Without being pointed out, Zhou Haoming could pretend that his misbehavior hadn’t been noticed.

Now the onlookers were directly voicing it, and Zhou Haoming became unsettled.

Glancing at the girl in white, Zhou Haoming was afraid the discussions would make her look down on him.

Unfortunately for him, Jiang Xinxuan’s thoughts were all on Su Mu; she didn’t even glance at Zhou Haoming.

A bit disappointed, Zhou Haoming’s gaze returned to the basketball in Su Mu’s hands.

Zhou Haoming was just waiting for Su Mu to hit back with that ball.

Zhou Haoming even hoped Su Mu would throw the ball sooner rather than later.

That would be fair, wouldn’t it?

Su Mu finally raised the basketball in his hands.

He gestured towards the basketball court, as if looking for an angle.

Zhou Haoming’s expression grew even tenser.

Wishing for Su Mu to return that ball was one thing.

Zhou Haoming certainly wasn’t prepared to stand there foolishly and get hit by the ball in Su Mu’s hands.

Thus, Zhou Haoming was in full alert mode, just waiting for Su Mu to throw the ball so he could dodge it.

Su Mu’s lips curled, and with force directed towards Zhou Haoming, the basketball flew out.

Zhou Haoming, well-prepared, quickly dodged the ball flying toward him.

Just when everyone thought the basketball would land where Zhou Haoming had stood just moments earlier.

A miracle occurred.

The basketball didn’t hit the ground, nor did it show any sign of stopping.

The ball Su Mu had thrown was still flying at high speed toward the basketball hoop ahead.

"Snap"

The basketball entered the hoop in a very standard posture and fell to the ground.
