Black Basketball: A false start

Chapter 2 The First Ancestor
As Kaneki Ken studied the system carefully, he had a general understanding of its functions. In short, there was no newbie gift package or anything like that. In addition to a personal data panel, the system had two functions: adding points and drawing prizes.

The point addition is easy to understand. You can get different numbers of attribute points by completing the tasks issued by the system. As for the lottery, the system explains that when Kaneki Ken and the protagonists of different levels in the world line have an intersection that causes him to have drastic emotional fluctuations for the first time, or changes the main storyline, he will get different levels of lottery opportunities. For example, during this hospitalization, after the system's judgment, Kaneki Ken and the S-level protagonist Aomine Daiki and the A-level protagonist Momoi Satsuki had an intersection, and he got one S-level and one A-level lottery opportunity each.

"Not bad. Although there is no novice gift package, at least I was given two chances to draw the lottery. It's better than nothing." Kaneki Ken curled his lips in dissatisfaction and clicked on the lottery page.

There are five lottery wheels on the page from high to low, namely "S, A, B, C, D". The B, C, D wheels are gray at the moment, obviously unavailable, while the S and A wheel icons show a "1" in the upper right corner, which means there is one chance to draw.

"Is this true? Why does this cheat code have such a strong web game style?" Kaneki Ken looked at the rough system interface in front of him and couldn't help but want to complain. "With such a stagflation system, what good things can be extracted? Don't turn around and pull out something like One Knife 999, Come and chop me if you are my brother..."

Although he disliked it, the famous military strategist and well-known cultural figure Li Datuan once said: "A good plaster is one that can draw out pus. It is better to have it than not to have it." Adhering to the principle of "since you're here, a thief won't leave empty-handed", Kaneki Ken first clicked on the A-level lottery roulette.

There were more than a dozen prizes densely written on the A-level lottery roulette, including some skills from sports anime that were familiar to him in his previous life, such as dual swords, swallow return flash, zero-style slice and so on.

"They are all good skills." Kaneki Ken looked at the dazzling array of prizes in front of him, smacked his lips and sighed, "It's a pity that with my current body, no skills you give me can make up for the gap in talent... Forget it, just draw, whatever I draw is what I get, at worst it would be nice to be a baseball emperor." With such mixed feelings, Kaneki Ken clicked the lottery button.

"Ding~" As the lottery button was pressed, the lottery roulette began to spin. After an unknown amount of time, as the roulette wheel slowly stopped, the pointer stayed on the "Basketball Bible".

"Congratulations to the host for winning the technical skill: Basketball Bible." As the system prompt sounded, relevant information about the skill appeared in front of Kaneki Ken.

"Skill: Basketball Bible, Skill Type: Skill, Skill Term: Perfect, Skill Level: A+, Skill Effect: After acquiring this skill, the host will gain perfect basic basketball skills, including dribbling, shooting, back-to-the-basket, rebounding, blocking, and stealing."

"Not bad." Kaneki Ken thought of how he had worked hard to practice his skills in his previous life but had made little progress, and said with some relief, "At least now that I have this skill, I don't have to spend time learning basketball from scratch. Even if I can't play professionally in the future, being an internet celebrity basketball player or something like that is not bad."

As the A-level lottery times were used up, the A-level lottery roulette turned gray like the BCD-level roulette. Seeing this, Kaneki Ken turned his attention to the S-level roulette icon.

The S-level roulette looks no different from the A-level roulette, the only difference is that the prize pool is smaller, and besides "Thank you for your patronage", there are only seven options: God's Chosen Body, Zone, Ancestor, Flying Man, Copy and Transform, Unknown, and Flow.

"They all look pretty good... I know about the Chosen Body and the Aerial Man, but what is this Originator?" Kaneki Ken fell into deep thought as he looked at the blond and blue-eyed portrait on the prize. "I don't know what I'll win this time. With my current physical talent, zone and flow won't do much for me. Without this kind of burst skill, my body can't handle it. Copy Transformation is a pretty good prize, but with my current body, I can't use it even if I learn it..."

Thinking that the prize in front of him would not be effective because of his current mediocre body, Kaneki Ken scratched his head in annoyance and pressed the lottery button irritably.

"Ahhhhh! Body! Body! It has to be a body! I must draw a body this time!" Kaneki Ken nervously faced the light curtain in front of him, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

As the roulette wheel slowly stopped, the roulette pointer stubbornly jumped from the chosen body of God to the zone, and finally stopped at the option of the ancestor.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the body template talent: The Ancestor. The current template has been bound, and all body template prizes will be revoked in the future." The system's voice came again.

"Ahhhh, my God-chosen body and the flying man! I want to see what this Originator is. I'm not matched with an ape, am I? If so, I'm going to die, jumping off the hospital building..." Kaneki Ken wailed as he clicked on the prize introduction. The shining gold almost blinded Kaneki Ken's eyes. "Talent: Originator, Talent type: Body, Talent term: Demigod, God's Virtual Vision, Talent level: SSS+, Talent effect: Adam, the Originator, is the first person created by God to imitate himself, and is God's most perfect replica. The physical potential of a demigod breaks through the upper limit of humans. All human skills are visible under God's Virtual Vision. The perfect body can copy and strengthen all skills that have been seen, and the superior wisdom can calculate all the opponent's routes of action in advance."

After Kaneki Ken carefully read the prize introduction, he rubbed his dry eyes and said thankfully: "I made a lot of money this time... Hehe, it smells good."

After Kaneki Ken received the reward, the system's update on Kaneki Ken's physical data popped up.

“Host: Kaneki Ken;

"The best... 100 people?" Looking at the evaluation given by the system, Kaneki Ken flashed a determined smile, "If it is just the best 100 people, it would be a bit of a waste of this demigod body."
