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

Chapter 47: School return time moved up, only 30 minutes left for the friend-making quest.
The next morning, Li Ji and his team arrived at the Qianjiang team's training base.

This is an indoor basketball court inside a stadium.

There are two stadiums in total. They are enclosed indoors with no glass windows, so you can't see inside from the outside.

I didn't see any other teammates, only Coach Wei from last time, and a black coach.

Dailu sat on a small stool by the court and said to Li Ji next to her, "I told you that a darker mimicry would be fine, meow."

"Shut up. Why are you dressed like that? It's not like you're playing basketball."

Dailulu was wearing a red basketball uniform, revealing her fair arms and legs.

"I'm practicing Earth-themed fashion, matching the right style for the right place, meow."

"Hehe, if you hadn't been wearing a bright red Hanfu into the men's restroom, I would have believed you."

Coach Wei walked towards them, carrying a plastic box in his hand.

"Thank you both for coming today. According to our team rules, we have to hand in our phones during practice."

"Because the training programs are confidential, it's not convenient to disclose them. Thank you for your cooperation."

Delulu readily handed it over.

Li Ji wanted to struggle a little longer; Earthlings really don't feel safe without cell phones.

"Can I not take pictures?"

"I'm sorry, this is a team rule, there's nothing I can do about it, please understand."

Li Ji reluctantly put his phone inside.

Coach Wei placed the plastic box in the corner.

"Begin training!"

With the sound of a whistle, a group of basketball players walked onto the court.

The shortest of them is 1.8 meters tall, and the tallest is over 1.9 meters tall.

There was another guy with a stubble beard who looked even older than Coach Wei's father.

Li Ji and Dai Lulu whispered to each other, "We didn't expect Shark Baby to train with adults right away."

Coach Wei began, "Today we welcome a new member to train with our U14 team."

She's 14 years old!
That bearded guy is also 14 years old!
Shark Baby stood at the front of the line and introduced herself.

He's petite, like a figurine, and doesn't even reach the height of someone's belly button.

"My name is Shark Baby, and I hope to be friends with everyone."

Li Ji originally thought everyone was a child of the same age, so he specially prepared this set of childish words for Shark Baby.

This direct approach should be very effective when dealing with children.

I didn't expect the other side to be full of hairy men; it was a real miscalculation.

The team members all looked at each other with disdain.

Li Ji thought to himself: The difficulty is increasing. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old rebellious sports students are the ones who look down on elementary school students the most.

The bearded man spoke up: "Coach, isn't today a rest day? You specifically called us out for training just to play with these little brats?"

After he finished speaking, bursts of laughter erupted.

"Quiet!"

Coach Wei's face was stern, and the court fell silent instantly.

"Xiao Shao, you talk too much. You can jump really well, so let's have a jumping contest with the new team member today."

The bearded Xiao Shao's smile froze: "Coach, are you insulting me? Making me compete with elementary school students?"

"Are you scared?"

I was afraid he would cry.

The competition was a jump ball game.

The coach tosses the basketball high into the air between the two players, and whoever jumps and catches the ball wins.

This project is extremely demanding in terms of jumping ability, reaction time, and physical strength.

Xiao Shao got into position, his eyes fixed on the basketball in the coach's hand.

He was a notorious troublemaker in the team, and also the most competitive guy, even when he was running with a dog he would fight to the death.

Shark stood there blankly, blinking her big eyes as she asked him, "Would you like to be my friend?"

"We'll talk after you beat me, kid."

Shark Baby grinned.

He understood: as long as he beat Xiao Shao, he could become friends with him.

He turned his gaze to Li Ji, seeking his permission. "Can I win?"

Li Ji knew very well that teenage boys were prone to fighting, especially athletes, who were like wild beasts in the jungle, only respecting the strong.

There is absolutely no way these people would be friends with an incompetent elementary school student.

He nodded: "Tone it down a bit."

"understand!"

The team members laughed mercilessly.

"drop--"

With a whistle, the basketball was tossed high into the air to its highest point.

Xiao Shao leaped up, and the basketball high above was within easy reach.

He felt utterly contemptuous.

I'm a player who's going to make it into the next national youth team, and my vertical jump is 80 centimeters, which is the NBA standard.

If I receive good training, I will go to the NBA in the future.

Old Wei has really gone mad, making himself a sparring partner with an elementary school student.

Suddenly, a blur flashed before his eyes.

That's Shark Baby's—leg?

Is what's in front of me still human?

The vertical jump height must have exceeded two meters, right?

The world record is only 1.67 meters!
As Shark landed steadily with the basketball, a gasp of surprise erupted in the arena.

Everyone held their heads in disbelief; no one could believe that a 12-year-old child could break a Guinness World Record.

The Black coach let out a gorilla-like howl and grabbed Coach Wei's shoulders, shaking him repeatedly.

He asked in broken Chinese, "Did you genetically modify him?"

Coach Wei was stunned and muttered, "I feel like I'm going to go down in history."

Holding the basketball, Sha Bao observed the reactions of those around him and was certain he had won.

He was very restrained just now, only using 3% of his power, which should make him seem much like an Earthling.

Shark walked up to Xiao Shao, who was slumped on the ground, and blinked its round eyes: "Can we be friends now?"

Xiao Shao slapped the basketball out of his hand.

"I'm not convinced. If you're so capable, let's have a full-court 1v1 match."

Shark said somewhat aggrievedly, "You didn't keep your word."

"Enough talk! Dare to come on, kid?"

"If I win this time, we'll be friends. Can you say yes?"

"Fine! If you can still win, I'll be your dad!"

Shark glanced at Li Ji, waiting for his permission.

The other person wasn't even looking at me; instead, they were frowning and talking to Delulu about something.

Li Ji was completely oblivious to the commotion that had just occurred.

Just before Shark Baby jumped, Delulu's chest suddenly vibrated.

Li Ji was startled: "Why do you always have problems with your chest?"

Dailu frowned: "Oh no! The school sent a notice that because a group rode an old lady across the street, it's a criminal offense, and this activity has to be canceled early. We only have thirty minutes left!"

Li Ji realized something was wrong: "Shabao hasn't made any friends yet. I originally wanted him to try his best, but now it seems we have no choice but to use the backup plan."

Li Ji got up to go to the corner to get his phone.

But then they saw Shark run on all fours, slapping the ball with his chin as it passed between Xiao Shao's legs, and sprinting to the three-point line at a speed that his opponent could not match.

He slammed the ball to the ground with his chin, and the ball bounced high into the air.

With a header, Shark headed the ball into the basket like a missile.

The next second, the basketball hoop collapsed with a crash.

Like everyone else, Li Ji stared in disbelief at the extraordinary sight before him.

He said quietly, "Delulu, activate the third plan."

"What is the third option, meow?"

"Give me the stun gun."
