He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 42 Li Ji believes in me, playing basketball can boost my score!

Dailulu never expected that after knocking on every door, she would not make any friends, but would only receive a harsh "cat-faced old lady"!
Now that an opportunity to "make friends" has been presented to us, how can we pass it up?

I really don't understand, is Li Ji just not perceptive enough, or does he have a grudge against scores?

"Can you really make friends, meow?"

"Of course. There are 16 kids of the same age in our team. We train together and get along very well. Would you like to give it a try?"

Dailulu replied with a grin, "Of course we would, meow. Our little shark loves making friends the most, meow."

Shark Baby rode on Li Ji's neck and nodded frequently.

Coach Wei smiled excitedly.

The child in front of me is a rare basketball prodigy.

The passing standard for vertical jump in the NBA is 80cm, and this young child has far exceeded that standard.

To describe this child's talent as unbelievable would be an insult.

Even if the parents are not tall, the child's future height is likely to be a concern.

But as long as he can grow to 1.8 meters tall, he will be more than qualified for the CBA.

If this child receives good training, I can contribute to the Qianjiang team.

Do not!
To contribute a strong young talent to the national team.

One can imagine that ten years from now, Sha Bao, the main point guard of the Chinese national team, will win the MVP award at the Men's Basketball World Cup and shed tears of gratitude to his mentor after the game.

"I want to thank my first coach, Wei Xiangdong. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"If Wei Xiangdong hadn't been born, the Chinese men's basketball team would never have known darkness!"

Thinking of this, Wei Xiangdong felt a surge of excitement, and even felt a surge of emotion that made him want to cry.

Li Ji can also imagine this.

During training, Shark knocked down a player who was 2 meters tall and weighed 230 kilograms, then jumped from the half-court and dunked the rim, deforming it.

I really want to see that scene.

But just thinking about it made him feel like his grades were slipping away, and he almost cried.

If a phone is chewed up, you can't say it's the fault of which phone.

In basketball, you can't say that the court, the players, and the coach are all at fault, right?

With these two things combined, how can the matter of the alien child be kept secret?

“I refuse. My son won’t play basketball with you.”

But nobody paid him any attention.

Wei Xiangdong had already handed his business card to Dai Lulu.

"This is my business card, Sha Bao's mom. Let's keep in touch. See you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow, meow.

Dai Lulu chuckled as she stuffed the business card into her pocket and waved goodbye to Coach Wei.

Li Ji angrily shouted at Dai Lulu, "Didn't any of you hear me say I refused?"

"I heard you, meow."

"Then why did you take his business card? Don't you care what I'm saying?"

"Yes, meow. Studies show that 76% of people on Earth don't care what their spouses think, meow. How about that? Did I imitate that well, meow?"

"No need to imitate this! You're not really planning to let Shark play basketball, are you?"

"Playing basketball? Not for making friends, meow?" Delulu looked confused. "What's basketball, meow? Do you know, Shark Baby?"

Shark Baby pondered in his mind.

Basketball?

A blue ball?

The Earth is a blue ball.

Playing basketball?
That means attacking Earth!

Shark Baby nodded excitedly, "Of course I know! He's going to lead me to conquer Earth!"

"This is obviously not right, meow!"

"This is clearly not right!"

Li Ji and Dai Lulu reached a rare agreement.

Li Ji never imagined that after living for more than 20 years, he would have to explain to two aliens what playing basketball is.

Delulu listened, puzzled.

But it wasn't the basketball rules that confused her; rather, she couldn't understand where Li Ji had gotten such detailed knowledge of the basketball rules.

As he explained, he also demonstrated the moves, occasionally making an air shot, giving the impression that he had played basketball before.

As far as Delulu knows, the Interstellar Alliance definitely doesn't have this sport, so where did Li Ji find out about it?
This movement may be recorded in "The Complete Book of Earth Movements," but I hadn't paid attention to it before.

Perhaps Li Ji studied this book and even put it into practice.

I never expected Li Ji to be so serious, combining theory with practice, even trying such a niche sport.

Dailulu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of herself.

After listening to Li Ji's explanation, Dai Lulu smiled confidently. "It's very simple, meow. I think Shark Baby will be fine, meow."

They looked at Shark Baby with anticipation.

Shark scratched his chin and said with utmost seriousness, "If I could go into the basket with the ball, how many points would that be?"

"I take back what I just said, meow."

Dailulu suddenly changed her mind: "But playing basketball isn't the goal, we're here to make friends, meow."

Li Ji insisted, "I have many ways to make friends. There's no need to use this method. Shark's physical abilities are far superior to those of Earthlings. If he goes for a tryout, he'll definitely be exposed."

"That makes sense, meow. Earthlings' physical fitness is indeed too poor, meow. Compared to them, Shark Baby is a little bit outstanding, meow."

"You call running at 240 miles per hour a 'billion-point protrusion'?"

"It seems that Shark Baby is indeed not suitable, meow."

Sha Bao slumped down, his back hunched, and his mouth drooped down in frustration.

Li Ji felt somewhat gratified.

He suddenly realized that Delulu wasn't as stubborn as before, and that she was still willing to listen to his advice.

"But then again, meow. I think Shark can totally disguise himself, meow."

Li Ji wanted to slap himself: If I still have any expectations of Dai Lulu, then I am her son!

Upon hearing Dailulu's words, Shark Bao's drooping lips quickly lifted up again, and his back straightened.

"Don't rush to refute meow." Dailulu grabbed Li Ji's hand. "Going to play basketball is a bit risky, but it might earn you extra points, meow."

Li Ji frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I know Professor Wilde's habits best, meow. If students can perform a skillful act that goes beyond the curriculum, she'll give us extra points, meow."

"Going deep into the physical structures of Earthlings and experiencing their sports activities is definitely a way to show off your skills, meow."

Li Ji recalled that during the make-up exam, he was highly praised by Professor Wilde because he did not ask for change, which was mistaken for a tip.

Dailulu is a top student and is loved by her teachers. She must have studied many teachers' grading habits.

What she said must be true.

"Fortune favors the bold. Since it can add points, let's take the risk."

"Yay! We can play basketball now!"

Shark grabbed Li Ji's ear and shook him wildly like he was on a rocking horse.

Li Ji had a sore neck and felt dizzy.

"Stop shaking Shark Baby! I'm going to throw up!"

A subtle smile appeared on Delulu's lips.

There were no extra points involved; I simply wanted to gain a deeper understanding of basketball to prepare for my upcoming course on Earth kinematics.

I never expected Li Ji to be so easily fooled.

This is something 100% of women on Earth do—deceive their husbands—and it's done!

Oscar Wilde, on the other end of the surveillance camera, was taken aback.

"I didn't expect that Delulu had already figured out my habits so clearly."

Is it really that obvious?

"Should I stop giving everyone extra points from now on?"

"No, no! We can't be inconsistent just because they discovered this mechanism."

"Even if it's a speculative act, as long as it's done well, it should be rewarded."

"Let's make a note of this for Lee Ki: I never expected him to be so knowledgeable about sports on Earth."

"Professor D, who studies Earth kinematics, will surely like such a studious student."

She glanced at the mission log on the holographic projection on the other side.

The Delulu group is progressing rapidly, and only two tasks remain: "making friends" and "going to the toilet." All other tasks have been successfully completed.

Oscar Wilde couldn't help but marvel at the team's efficiency. Their first trip to Earth had been so efficient and perfect in advancing the mission, a feat that was top-notch since the establishment of the Department of Earth Sciences.

Whether the previous record can be broken depends on the speed at which the remaining two items are completed.

If it really breaks the record, giving it a perfect score wouldn't be an exaggeration.

According to Gu Yuqing, Li Ji has also successfully integrated into the global family.

When they come back, we must take out that video and watch it. Maybe we can use it as a case study to explain things to our classmates.

Li Ji's voice came from the holographic projection.

"I need to go to the bathroom."

Oscar Wilde smiled with satisfaction.

"With such a clear goal, starting to try toilet training so quickly, she truly deserves to be the student I've chosen."

However, their toilet habits are very different from those of Earthlings, and this task is specifically designed to be carried out in a public toilet, making it quite challenging.

"Li Ji, how will you complete this task?"
