New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 16 Lucy's Condition

There is a thunder on the flat ground, suddenly rich!

Zhang Yi worked as a child laborer for Wang Long for ten years without earning much money.

Of course, they were Zhou Yu's fight against Huang Gai. Correspondingly, Wang Long's painstaking efforts for him cannot be bought with money.

The withdrawal arrived, and the next day he left the Super Basketball League behind.

During training in the morning, Zhang Yi worked surprisingly hard.

And following Zhang Yi, the other guys seemed to have been pumped, and everyone had at least doubled the amount of training in the morning.

After the regular training, Wacker stared at Zhang Yi to practice with the latest technology in the training room.

The diligent performance, coupled with the way he entered the anti-gravity training device and ran with a ventilator, made Wacker feel that this guy was a hamster in human skin.

It seems that Zhang Yi's physical strength can't finish running.

All the equipment in the house was purchased by Wacker at his own expense. The purpose is to continue to improve Zhang Yi's basic value.

Of course, all indicators refer to the top level of the NBA.

If Zhang Yi's potential characteristics will determine his upper limit in the future, then Wacker must ensure that his lower limit will not fall behind.

With the help of technology, the monsters in the basketball world of the new century are stronger than the other. Wacker's expectation is to turn Zhang Yi into a demon-slayer "Van Helsing"!
This high-tech equipment is also really effective.

In just two days, Zhang Yi vaguely felt that he had grown a little taller, and his appetite had further increased.

Five hours of physical training in the morning and three hours of skill training in the afternoon.

Not counting jogging at night, with his training volume and a stable and nutritious diet, it is unscientific not to grow taller.

After training in the afternoon, Zhang Yi received a flying letter from Lucy, asking him to wait for her at the back door of a restaurant named Juliet in the afternoon.

"Pendant, I must get it back this time."

Zhang Yi thought so, and after training, he took a taxi to Juliet's restaurant alone.

Gorgeous appearance, or a Michelin five-star restaurant?Zhang Yi wondered if Lucy made an appointment at the wrong place to meet.

Because all the people who come here to enjoy the food are the big names in Los Angeles.

Ordinary people are not even qualified to make an appointment.

But turn to the back of the restaurant, its back door is no longer the noisy and busy street, the narrow and dirty back alley is facing the gate of the street relief office.

Looking at the homeless man lying in front of the relief hall, Zhang Yi was thoughtful.

"Los Angeles is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor."

Lucy's charming voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Yi.

"Some people live in mansions worth tens of millions of dollars, and some people have a newspaper as their home."

Hearing Lucy's voice, the sleeping tramp sat up in a daze, and took off his hat to salute her.

"You know each other?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.

Lucy smiled and said, "It's not just him, poor people all over Los Angeles know me, haha."

Zhang Yi thought to himself, when this woman smiles, the man will be wiped out.

"Give me back the pendant."

Zhang Yi grabbed Lucy's shoulder and asked in a slightly heavier tone.

The homeless man just now became alert immediately, as if it was his most important family members who were threatened.

Lucy smiled at him, indicating that Zhang Yi was her friend.And made a "special" friend gesture.

The homeless man laughed suddenly, got up and left.

"Why is he smiling? What do you mean by this gesture?"

Zhang Yi asked puzzledly.

"It's a gesture that won't let you report the next day." Lucy said with a smile.

Zhang Yi was even more confused, how could he know the slang in Los Angeles.

Lucy explained to him, "It means you won't report it, which means you won't suddenly die on the street."

"Because I provoked you, my life will be in danger?"

Zhang Yi asked in a deep voice.

Lucy nodded noncommittally, "The men and women living in this street are the bravest fighters, although they are not very smart."

She pointed to her head, and continued.

"The money in this Los Angeles is endless, but anyone with a little brain won't be stuck here forever."

"Then again, food and clothing are a problem for everyone, but they still live comfortably."

Lucy greeted two or three passers-by in succession.Zhang Yi followed behind him and was also discussed by many people.

There was even an enthusiastic old woman who touched Zhang Yi's chest muscles with her feet, and then gave Lucy a thumbs up.

It seemed to affirm the way she looked at men.

Lucy laughed out loud, while Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed.

Correspondingly, every man passing by had a lot of hostility towards Zhang Yibao, and it was only because of Lucy's face that they didn't find fault.

"Are you still used to it?" Lucy raised her head and said to Zhang Yi.

Obviously this is to ask Zhang Yi's opinion on this place again.

Zhang Yi nodded, "This place is very similar to the village where my grandmother lived in my hometown. People are simple and interesting."

"Haha." Lucy seemed to have heard a great joke, "What you see is only the surface."

Zhang Yi was taken aback, wondering if what he said was ridiculous?
"Do you know why all the men here carry small satchels around their waists?"

Zhang Yi thought about it for a while, and it seemed true.

"Not even cigarettes in it, just drugs and guns!"

Lucy stopped suddenly, made a dangerous expression, and said to Zhang Yi.

"That's why I said just now that it's not surprising even if you die suddenly on the street, because no matter how strong your physical fitness is, you can't beat a bullet!"

This is the second meeting with Lucy, but Zhang Yi is willing to believe her.

"But as long as you walk with me, at least life is not in danger."

Lucy's words sounded nice, but there was also a hidden threat.

Don't disobey me here, this woman should mean that.

Zhang Yi was not afraid, because from the moment Lucy saw him, she was very close to him, there are generally only two possibilities...

Either he likes himself, or he wants something, Zhang Yi still thinks it is the latter so far.

The two walked into a dilapidated apartment. The traditional American decoration made Zhang Yi feel very comfortable.

"Dad, I'm back."

Lucy yelled towards the living room, then went to the sofa and kissed an old man's forehead.

The man patted Lucy's hand kindly, then waved to Zhang Yi with a smile.

"This is my friend, Yi."

"Hello." Zhang Yi also came over to say hello.

When the two went up the stairs, Zhang Yi suddenly realized, "How do you know my name?"

"What do you think I did these two days?"

Lucy squinted her eyes charmingly and smiled.

Zhang Yi sighed, wondering what the hell this woman came from.

"That man was your father just now?"

Zhang Yi felt that the man's facial features were more Italian.

Lucy nodded, then said.

"He, good Brant, was my adoptive father. He picked me up next to a dump 18 years ago."

Zhang Yi fell silent, he didn't know whether he should sympathize with this girl.

"Do you know why I went to your school?" Lucy asked.

Zhang Yi shook his head.

"Brant used to be a professor at your school. He's one of the smartest guys on the street."

"But he was forced to retire by the school, just because one of his research results was taken over by a guy with a higher status."

Lucy said angrily, "I'm going to destroy him!"

"So you asked me for this favor?" Zhang Yi frowned.

"If I want to trouble that person directly, any friend on this street can help me."

Lucy went on, "Even his laboratory would be easily destroyed."

"However, I want to make that person's crimes known to the world and let him voluntarily kneel in front of the kind Brant to plead guilty!"

Zhang Yi was dubious about Lucy's words, but in order to get back the pendant, he still asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Steal a key to his office."

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Zhang Yi asked strangely.

"It's all because I was dizzy that day, and I went a little too far. Now as long as I show up on your campus, the security guards will come over and invite me to drink tea."

Lucy raised her legs helplessly, revealing a pair of jade legs.

"It's very simple to exchange a key for a pendant. This is a casting mold."

With that said, Lucy handed Zhang Yi a small box.

"As long as you get the key and put it in this box to leave a mark, I will find a craftsman to make a copy later, it's very simple."

Zhang Yi took the box, even if he accepted Lucy's request.

"Name, position, I will send you a flying letter later." Lucy sat by the window, looking at the street scene of people coming and going.

"Stay for dinner?" Lucy asked suddenly.

"No need." Zhang Yi got up and was about to leave.

"Why are you shy? We've all slept through the night." Lucy said with a smile.

"Can I still eat you?"

"Whatever you say, I have nothing to lose anyway." Zhang Yi shook the box, smiled and prepared to leave.

Lucy jumped out of the bay window, "Can I deliver it? The men here don't seem to be very friendly to you."

"They are hostile to me because of you."

"That's right. Goodbye." Lucy waved goodbye to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi left Lucy's house, walked out of this street, took a taxi and went back to school.

"What exactly is Lucy's identity?"

The more Zhang Yi thought about it, the less he believed her story.
