I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 221 The First Wave of American Incarceration: Helping College Students Go to Jail

With the "Prison BA" about to usher in a wave of "sacrifice" ignited by Annie and "enthusiastically responded" by female fans from all over the world, the management, coaching staff, and even the sponsors behind them of each team are on high alert.

No one expected that everyone's biggest common enemy would be the most primal male instincts.

Fuck, the "Prison BA" challenge is really too difficult. It's just playing ball, but you have to "endure a severe test of beauty"!
Who can I talk to to explain this?

But despite the complaints, everyone knows that the "Prison BA" incident has garnered record-breaking attention, and everyone benefits from it, so all that's left is to complain.

However, if they want to win in the end in this increasingly "dangerous" arena, or at least avoid their players making a fool of themselves in front of everyone, they must plan ahead and put in a lot of hard work to make targeted preparations.

A pharmaceutical company is attempting to leverage the power of "technology" once again, proposing that drugs can be used to make players calm and detached from worldly desires.

No matter how charming and beautiful you are, I will remain unmoved. What test am I afraid of?

However, the plan was immediately rejected by the Fox River State Penitentiary’s “Prison BA” Joint Management Committee.

The official reason given was that "this is too inhumane!"
The real reason is that no mentally sound player would be willing to risk making themselves "ineffective" just to play a good game.

All the fancy tricks and commercial value of "Prison Basketball" ultimately rest on the players' performance. Forcing the players to rebel would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Finally, a simple and straightforward solution that the players would never refuse was adopted—to solve the primitive test with primitive methods.

Each team will privately organize "adaptation training" to subject players to the test of beauty in order to "desensitize"—no, to develop strong mental resistance!
When The Sun reported that "the team is conducting special anti-interference training on the players," it immediately caused a huge uproar across the United States, and countless men had unspoken thoughts filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"My God... what kind of divine training is this?"

"How exactly is the training done? Is there a detailed tutorial? A friend of mine wants to learn..."

"Tsk tsk, how come they're being tested beforehand? Are they going to lock themselves in a room and have a bunch of pretty girls dance in front of them?"

"It's too blissful... no, it's too grueling! This training is simply inhuman torture!"

"So playing 'Prison BA' requires not only good basketball skills, but also 'good 'skills'? This league is getting more and more exciting!"

Some unscrupulous tabloids have started to seriously open columns to discuss the "serious topic" of "how professional athletes can maintain their focus under intense distractions from beautiful women".

Various so-called "training methods" and "psychological techniques" have been fabricated, attracting people to read them and yearn for them.

This rumor about "enduring the test of beauty" is related to the huge fame and fortune already demonstrated by "Prison Basketball"—playing basketball can bring fame (like "Black Panther") and make a lot of money (including "Black Panther's" sky-high endorsement deal); now, it seems like one can even undergo such an enviable "mental and willpower training" for free...

A powerful impulse was spreading, eventually coalescing into a crazy thought: We want to go to jail! We want to beat up the "Prison BA"!
However, no one expected that the first wave of people who were swept away by their ideas and put them into action were not athletes or heroes, but a group of college students who should have been in the ivory tower!
This is not without reason.

It's important to understand that basketball first emerged and became popular on university campuses in this era. University students undoubtedly possess the highest level of basic basketball skills. These hot-blooded young people, easily influenced by social trends, were now unable to suppress their restless hearts under the multiple temptations of fame, fortune, and sex in the "Prison Basketball" league, and decided to "abandon their studies and join the army"!
There's just one small problem: these college students, who at most break school rules and get drunk at parties,... don't know how to commit crimes!

Thus, on the streets of Chicago, a series of absurd "prison performance art" scenes began to unfold:
A group of college students from a prestigious university in the East Coast stopped an unremarkable-looking overweight man in Chicago's North Side, intending to rob him.

As a result, they were surrounded by the fat man, beaten up, and left lying on the ground with bruises and swelling on their faces. All their money was also taken from them!
Another group of college students chose a restaurant that looked popular. They ordered all the most expensive dishes, devoured them, and then told the owner they refused to pay!
Yes, they're dining and dashing!
Stop laughing, be serious, we're serious. Call the police and get us sent to Fox River Jail.

Once we become famous for playing basketball, we'll double the meal cost and even become your restaurant's spokespeople... Then the boss, who was so angry he laughed, dragged them to the kitchen and ordered them to wash enough dishes to pay off the debt before they could leave.

The most skilled one was an engineering student who decided to steal a car.

With his solid knowledge, he actually managed to pry open the door of an old Ford and start the engine.

However... this guy's mental fortitude wasn't up to par. The car sped off and crashed head-on into a roadside tree, successfully sending himself to the hospital instead of jail!
These absurd and comical attempts to get into jail initially baffled Chicago police officers and even gang members, but they nearly died laughing after figuring out their intentions.

They were shameless; every single one of them leaked their stories to the media, making it the most popular serialized joke in the social section of a local Chicago newspaper.

Chicago residents were amused, wondering, "Have these college students gone mad from all that studying?"

Logan finally couldn't stand it anymore and said that we still need to care about the future of America, so let's help these bright-eyed college students go to jail!

Soon after, bookstalls throughout Chicago began offering a special booklet titled "College Student in Jail: From Beginner to Expert - A Rational Plan for Becoming a Jail Basketball Star."

First: List of behaviors that are not recommended for imprisonment.

The list above includes crimes such as murder, arson, and serious injury that are "not worth the cost"—not because these "violate the spirit of prison sports," but because they are too difficult for the naive and foolish college students to handle.

Second: One must be strong to forge iron.

It is recommended to assess one's own conditions in advance, at least to master basketball skills and understand some basic fighting techniques and drug tolerance, before considering going to prison.

……

This seemingly unconventional, yet actually... unconventional "guide," sold out immediately upon release.

It's not just college students; many more people who aspire to become pillars of America and possess an iron will are beginning to pursue their "Prison BA" dreams in a more "orderly" and "efficient" manner, following the "guidelines."
