Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

Wanhao basketball team lost, and it lost very thoroughly.

The second half of the match underwent a drastic transformation. Wanhao basketball team became timid and hesitant. Their initial greatest physical fitness advantage had been greatly suppressed. Whether it was endurance, strength or agility, they were totally not on the same level as the Flying Bull basketball team under the protection of Hong Dali’s halo—they couldn’t even touch the ball.

The Flying Bull basketball team players made various fancy shots, and initially, the accuracy was still lacking—after all, they were still amateurs. But the problem was that very quickly, they started to adjust their battle tactics, and changed from throwing shots from far or middle distances to all throwing shots from near distances. For instance, slam dunks…

Thus, the score which had been far apart previously, skyrocketed and increased till it was a tie, then surpassed…

It just had to be that no matter how much the Wanhao basketball team players tried, and how beautifully the balls curved in the air, they just couldn’t score a goal!

The audience stood up and cheered excessively loud, almost blowing the ceiling of the stadium away. Everyone was shouting out the names of the Flying Bull basketball team members. In their hearts, the members of the Flying Bull basketball team were the heroes!

When the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded, for this ordinary friendly match between Wanhao and Flying Bull, the score was a shocking 64:106…

…

Looking at the television screen in front of him, Kang Xingyan took in a deep breath. A long time later, he finally asked the members around him, “Do you all have confidence in winning in a competition against the Flying Bulls?”

All the members shook their heads in unison. Someone said, “No. To be honest, their skills can be said to be that of total amateurs. The problem is that their basic qualities are too good, so good that it makes people shocked.” Another person said, “Yes, their strength, speed and reaction could be said to be the maximum of the human body, and that shortest person still wanted to do a dunk from the three-point line… Unfortunately, he was too overconfident. He was still more than one meter away from the basketball net…”

“Yes.” Kang Xingyan nodded. “These few players have relied entirely on their physical fitness to win the competition. Perhaps their skills are extremely weak, but with their physical fitness… It isn’t an overstatement to say that these few players would have a net worth of at least 50 million and above in the basketball scene.”

Net worth of 50 million!

This was practically the price of a top-grade basketball star! But who were they? They were newcomers who’d shown their faces for the first time on the basketball court, complete newbies! They didn’t have any match achievements, and today was the first time they appeared in front of the audience.

Alas, these few people completely beat Wanhao basketball, and all the players of Wanhao basketball team, ranging from the main attackers to the reserves, all had swollen and bruised faces and bleeding heads.

This was probably the only match in the basketball history that a basketball competition was played this way…

…

Shanghai Tianhai City, Shiroishi Kazuma sat on the bed, staring in bewilderment as he finished watching the match.

Wanhao basketball team had actually lost, and it’d lost so drastically.

It could be said that this was something Shiroishi Kazuma had never expected. Previously, he’d thought that no matter how amazing the results were, it would at most be a win by a small margin. Alas, unexpectedly, they’d been defeated so quickly and so pathetically!

This was a complete crush and a complete win!

Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head continuously. “Impossible, impossible… How’s that possible…” Following which, he madly gripped Qian Youjin’s arm and loudly shouted, “How’s that possible! How is it possible that we lost! What exactly is the matter?! How’s it possible that we lost?! Wasn’t the ability of Wanhao basketball team guaranteed?!”

Qian Youjin was completely stunned as well. He’d never expected that his Wanhao basketball team would actually lose!

After all, Wanhao and Flying Bull were different. As one of the top eight teams in Heavenly State, Wanhao basketball team could be said to have a stellar lineup! From the main attackers to the reserves, they were practically all big basketball stars! The lousiest one also had a yearly salary of more than 5 million! Previously, Wanhao basketball team had been reviewed by professionals, and its overall net worth was at least 300 million!

But what about Flying Bull basketball team? What did Flying Bull have? It’d been sold for just 40 million, and all its players who played in the match were newcomers! Newcomers in which the tallest one was 1.9 meters tall and the shortest one was 1.72 meters tall! How was it possible that such a basketball team won?! How was it possible that there would be such a big gap in the scores?!

“Finished… Finished… Wanhao is finished…” With such a friendly match, he and Shiroishi Kazuma initially planned to seize this opportunity to greatly oppress Hong Dali. Unexpectedly, they’d instead benefited and paved the path for the other party without benefiting themselves at all!

He’d arranged for people to go and wage the challenge, spent money to advertise it, and got the TV stations to broadcast it live through his connections.

Alas, unexpectedly, he’d helped his opponent, and as for his Wanhao basketball team, its reputation would definitely plunge after this match!

But now that things had come to this point, what use was there to regret? He could only bite the bullet now…

Just when Shiroishi Kazuma and Qian Youjin were in a daze, the room door was suddenly kicked open. Sun Yuanzhou dashed in with his forehead brimming with sweat, and upon entering the room, he instantly asked, “Have you all seen the basketball match just now? Have you seen it?!”

Qian Youjin was still rather dispirited. After all, Shiroishi Kazuma could control his emotions better. Thus, he soon collected himself and asked, “Mr. Sun, what’s the matter? We’ve watched the competition. Wanhao has lost.”

“I know that they lost, but I’m not here for this!” Sun Yuanzhou anxiously said, “We’ve already completely become arch enemies with the Hong Family, do you think they’ll easily let us go? Hong Dali bought two electronics companies! Two! If he sees me as a target, who knows what he’ll do again!”

“He has not only bought electronics companies.” Shiroishi Kazuma was shocked and mumbled, “He has also bought a toy factory! It mainly produces car toys and airplane toys! If he advances in the car industry…”

“Exactly! Have you all seen the latest video on the internet?!” Sun Yuanzhou snatched a laptop by the side and directly entered So Cool. He searched for the video “No need to say a word, able to pick girls up just by using super sports car!”, then he pressed the “Enter” button and showed it to Shiroishi Kazuma. “Look at it, I’ve just watched this video today!”

“Car?!” Upon seeing that it was related to cars, Shiroishi Kazuma was instantly stunned. He hurriedly took the laptop, and the figure below the video directly blinded his eyes. “More than 30 million views?!”

He hurriedly pressed the play button. Very soon, Shiroishi Kazuma was attracted at once by Hong Dali’s perfect-grade Granzon. “Thi… This… This is the newly produced car?! Hong Dali’s?!”

“Yes, I’ve sent someone to secretly look into it. This car is definitely Hong Dali’s!” Sun Yuanzhou furiously said, “If we let Hong Dali continue to play around like that, then both our families won’t have it easy! Now that both of us are in the same boat, if I falter, you’ll definitely not have it easy as well! Even if we’ve lost in the online gaming and the basketball competition, after all, all these are small matters. The problem is that household electronics and cars are our foundation. Who knows what this prodigal Hong Dali will do in future, we can’t just sit still and do nothing!”

“Can’t just sit still, definitely can’t just sit still!” Shiroishi Kazuma thought for quite a while, then he ferociously said, “Mr. Sun, go and arrange for someone to think of a way to contact Hong Dali. We can’t let him continue to fool around like this, we have to think of a way to buy back those things that he’d bought! We can’t let this continue and let him jeopardize our foundation. Otherwise, we’ll be completely finished!”

Shiroishi Kazuma was scared. This time, he was really scared.

Indeed, everything involving Hong Dali became popular. The most vital point was that you’d never be able to guess how exactly he could make those things that he started up to become popular. Shiroishi Kazuma had to admit this.

“OK, I’ll go right away! Oh right, Mr. Shi, how much should we offer to buy those things back?” Sun Yuanzhou’s expression was extremely flustered as he asked, “There has to be a bottom line, right?”

“I want it no matter how much it costs!” Shiroishi Kazuma was now extremely perplexed. If he let Hong Dali continue to mess around like that, and if the Toyoda Family’s car business got implicated, then it’d be too late to regret by then.

“I understand!” Sun Yuanzhou frantically went out, and when he got to the door, he turned his head around and scolded Qian Youjin. “Stupid thing, look at what you’ve done! You were the one who sold the basketball team and electronics company to Hong Dali!”

Qian Youjin collapsed on the sofa and was on the verge of crying. “I… How would I know? I’ve long ago regretted it…”

“Squandering thing!” As he spoke, Sun Yuanzhou slammed the door.

“We, what kind of monster have we messed with…” Shiroishi Kazuma weakly collapsed onto the bed, his eyes no longer showing any vigor.

As Sun Yuanzhou exited from the room, a slight icy smile appeared once again at the corners of his mouth and then instantly disappeared.

…

Different from the miserable situation of Shiroishi Kazuma and the the others, it had become chaotic on the internet. Flying Bull basketball team had become widely known by everyone overnight and became everyone’s topic of leisure chat and discussion in Heavenly State. “Have you watched the competition yesterday, the match between Wanhao vs Flying Bull? It’s just too cool. What the heck, what a pity I couldn’t go to the scene back then, it’s such a pity!” “I’ve watched it, could I not have watched it? Initially, I thought that Wanhao would surely beat Flying Bull up, then I realized that it was Flying Bull beating Wanhao up… What the heck, those players at Wanhao were flying all over, the scene was so explosive!”

Heavenly State heavily valued sports. If the films and entertainment, as well as online gaming and so on, were still considered mediocre, then sports activities like basketball and football would definitely be the highlight which everyone paid attention to.

All the basketball teams in Heavenly State had their attention focused on Hong Dali’s Flying Bull basketball team. There were already professionals who had estimated that the net worth of these five Flying Bull players would be at least 40 million and above. That meant that currently, the total net worth of Flying Bull basketball team was already more than 200 million.

If they played in a few more competitions in the future, then the net worth of Flying Bull basketball team would definitely continue rising.

Actually, no matter how detailed the analysis of Flying Bull basketball team’s net worth was on the sports channels, it was still a small matter. What truly made Xiao Dao and the others, as well as Ling Xiaoyi, Hong Dali’s most capable lackey, feel pain and happiness at the same time was the various firms had come to request for endorsements to advertise their products…
