In the early morning of the 21st, as soon as Li Kaiming woke up, a system task prompt came to his ears, and he immediately entered the system interface.
【Task】
Rating: B
Although the discussion about you on the Internet is unreasonable and harsh, the host does not have to endure it. Can young people be called young people if they are not arrogant?
Basics: In tomorrow's game, win the game and all basic data will be the highest in the game. Rewards: 10-15 attribute points, 100-200 points. Failure penalty: 15 attribute points are randomly deducted.
Advanced: Score no less than 35 points, rebound no less than 10, and block shots no less than 3 in tomorrow's game. Reward: Three badge upgrades. Failure penalty: None.
Seeing this task description, Li Kaiming couldn't help but take a breath!
B-level mission?
Why did the system suddenly give him a B-level assignment? Based on his understanding of the system, it was very generous to give him a C-level assignment during the NCAA stage. The previous C-USA League playoffs were even D-level assignments.
And what does that sentence in the mission mean? In previous missions, there was never a similar mission description, only cold mission requirements, but this time the sun came out in the west and actually gave him an explanation of the mission.
What's even more strange is that from this sentence, Li Kaiming actually read a kind of care like an old father!
Are you being bullied, kid? Give you a million and you go and slap them in the face!
Thinking of this, Li Kaiming couldn't help but have a dark look on his face!
After thinking about it, there is only one explanation for the change in the system, and it is because he sensed the strong desire to become stronger in his heart!
He also admitted that after seeing the comments from those negative fans yesterday, he had never felt such desire.
I wonder if this change in the system is a joy or a worry for him?
do not care! Anyway, the B-level mission is here, why should we give up on purpose? Li Kaiming is not such a person either!
The basic reward points were more than the points he got from the previous tasks combined. How could he allow such a reward to slip away from his hands?
But the difficulty of this B-level task is not small, let alone winning the game. Among the requirements of each task, the first priority is to win the game. Starting from the second task, all data must be the highest in the game. The difficulty skyrockets from this point on.
In other words, as a center, he scores more points than a shooting guard, assists more than a point guard, steals more than a guard, and has more rebounds and blocks than a post!
And there is another hidden aspect to the requirements of this task: his data is better than everyone else!
This means that to complete the task, not only the person opposite is his competitor, but also his teammates!
When he thought of this, his face became a little ugly. Isn't this just forcing him to brush data?
And Michigan State's insiders are not soft persimmons, you can pinch them if you want!
Is this a B-level mission? It seems that if he wants to complete this task, he has to spend a lot of money this time and work hard to perform on the court.
