Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 6: The refined and easy-going guy from the online forum!

"boom!"

[Serve: 1000/1000]
Jiang Hong rubbed his sore wrists. Although he was physically exhausted, the reward was even more generous.

I have received the system reward.

Jiang Hong did not hesitate to use the serve skill points awarded by the system.

[49→51]
"Tsk, it's so cool to have a cheat code." He flicked his wrist, estimating that it wouldn't be long before his serve attribute would break through the 60 mark and reach the professional level.

It's important to understand that professional players aren't monsters with all attributes maxed out. Most players in the Hope Tournament and Challenge Tournament are lucky if they can get three or four attributes above 60.

The difference in performance between athletes in various venues is due to the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques.

Some might reach the Wimbledon final but be eliminated in the second round of the French Open.

However, based on the current system attribute classification, it's clear they're trying to push him down the path of a well-rounded individual.

After finishing training, Jiang Hong examined the racket in his hand.

The system-enhanced device is indeed different—with a normal racket, even a top-of-the-line one, the strings would have deformed or even broken after a thousand serves, but the strings on this racket are exactly the same as when I bought it yesterday, just like new.

"Hey Lao Jiang, you've already hired a caddie, why are you still taking advantage of me?" Li Hua said, hands on his hips, panting heavily, his face full of resentment at being exploited.

"Su Cheng, you're doing a work-study job in the cafeteria today, so you're just letting me do all the work, aren't you?"

Jiang Hong remained completely unfazed by Li Hua's protest.

"It's just a special situation, isn't it? Dinner's on me, braised chicken or braised pork trotter rice, you can choose!"

Li Hua was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, looking as if he was about to give Jiang Hong a good beating.

"Add another bottle of ice-cold Coke!"

"Enough is enough!" Jiang Hong patted his chest and agreed.

In the end, the two of them went into their usual braised chicken and rice restaurant.

Back in his dorm and lying on his bed, Jiang Hong began to think that once the problem of retrieving the ball was solved, his training efficiency would improve significantly, and he would have more time.

The immediate priority is to fill in the remaining empty suggestion fields.

However, we need to wait for advice from others.

You can't count on Li Hua!

Wang Li is a potential source of freebies. Although his skills may not be top-notch, he has at least received systematic training and might be able to offer some useful suggestions.

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Hong shook his head. The last few times he saw Wang Li at the tennis court, the look in Wang Li's eyes clearly indicated that he understood something.

So we need to find a way to open source!
Just as I was pondering this, the sound of my roommates chatting in the next bed drifted over.

"Did you guys know? The other day, the battle between Chun Ge's Bar and Diba was incredibly fierce!"

"I heard about it! The Chun Ge (Brother Chun) forum was flooded with over 100,000 posts, and they were banned from posting!"

Jiang Hong's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! Tieba!"

He suddenly remembered that in later generations, some bloggers would post videos asking for advice on defying fate. Although there are no Douyin, Xiaohongshu, or Bilibili now, Tieba is a god-level social platform!

At this time, Tieba was not the half-dead place it would become later. Its daily active users were ridiculously high, and there were all sorts of experts who might actually be able to offer some useful advice.

Jiang Hong jumped up, turned on his computer, and stumbled into the tennis forum, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

First, I came up with a cool and edgy title: "Rebuilding the Glory of Men's Tennis is Our Inescapable Duty!"

The following is the main text: "A 17-year-old prodigy, having trained for less than a year, aspires to defeat Federer, kick Nadal, sweep Djokovic, and win a Grand Slam! Now seeking advice on improving his skills, guys, say whatever you want!" Based on Jiang Hong's many years of experience on the internet, if the title isn't sensational, no one will read it; if there's nothing interesting, who will read it?

He deliberately spoke in an arrogant tone to attract attention.

He closed the page after posting—he was a complete newbie, so it was impossible for him to reply instantly?

There's no point in waiting, I might as well rest for a while.

……

In the tennis forum, a user with the ID "Tennis Boy" had just typed a line: "When hitting the ball, you have to generate power and spin with your body, don't fight against yourself!"

This user's real name is Wang Shijie. He has been playing tennis since he was a child, and he has also participated in junior tournaments. He once dreamed of becoming a world champion.

Unfortunately, the more he played, the more he realized how important talent was. Later, he faced reality, gave up his professional career, and became a junior tennis coach.

At the same time, he is also a junior moderator of a tennis forum, where he usually posts questions and answers, and occasionally recruits a couple of students. He is considered a well-known "expert".

After answering a newbie's question, Wang Shijie moved his mouse, and a new post popped up: "Rebuilding the Glory of Men's Online Tennis is Our Inescapable Duty!"

He paused for a moment, wondering before clicking: Could it be that a genius has emerged in Chinese men's tennis?
I haven't heard of that... If there really is a promising talent emerging out of nowhere.

I felt a sense of anticipation.

When Wang Shijie clicked on the main text, he was completely stunned.

Federer now holds 10 Grand Slam titles and has secured his world number one ranking with four consecutive Wimbledon victories.

Nadal's three consecutive French Open titles solidify his status as the King of Clay.

Even Novak Djokovic, who is currently slightly inferior, has won a Masters title and reached the Wimbledon semifinals, but this is only in comparison to the top two tennis superstars.

This guy's achievement is something Asian men's tennis wouldn't even dare to dream of—you have to know that the best result for Asian men's tennis so far is only the quarterfinals, and before Jiang Hong's time travel, the best result for Chinese men's tennis in a Grand Slam was only the round of 32.

"Is the original poster here to talk about stand-up comedy?"

Wang Shijie silently gave this a thumbs up when he saw it.

"Rebuild the glory of men's tennis? Has men's tennis ever had any glory?"

The comments section downstairs has exploded:
"A year of practice? I suggest you find a club coach and play a game to see your true level—stop living in a dream world, bro."

"+3, I second the upstairs."

"Grand Slam? If Chinese men's tennis can produce a Grand Slam top 32 player in the next fifty years, we'll be lucky."

"Standard fifteen words: get the experience and then leave."

"We suggest you just restart it, dear."

"Dude, which tennis court are you dreaming of? Federer's backhand can slam you against the wall and you can't even pry it off, Djokovic can keep hitting you back and forth on the baseline until you question your existence - oh wait, you don't even have the chance to play against them."

"I suggest you go to the neighborhood tennis court and play a couple of matches with the elderly folks in the senior group first. Win a couple of games before you start bragging. With this level of bragging, you're considered a beginner even in this forum. 'Completely crushing them'? I think you'd be more likely to get crushed by the internet cable!"

"The last time I saw someone so boastful was when the old man at the village entrance said he could outrun Liu Xiang. You two could team up and debut as a bragging contestant, you'd definitely win!"

Wang Shijie initially wanted to join in the criticism, but seeing the "refined and easygoing" comments from the other forum members, he decided it was best not to add fuel to the fire, lest he end up criticizing Yu Yu instead.

Maybe this ID "Listen to Advice, Little Jiang" is just a clueless newbie who just started playing ball and is completely ignorant of his own limitations.

When I've improved my skills and look back at this post later, I'll probably want to crawl into a hole and hide.

After thinking it over, Wang Shijie decided to give some practical advice: go back and practice your game.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, and lines of text appeared one after another...
