Now that I've been reborn, I have to play tennis!

Chapter 2: Starting Your Dreams in the Prime of Your Life!
"Just now, I experienced the French Open from Nadal's perspective, which added to my clay court sliding ability, as well as my forehand and backhand hitting ability."

"This means that each experience can improve at least three skills, and since my clay court gliding ability is the weakest, I felt it the most and therefore saw the most significant improvement!"

In his previous life, he had never played on a clay court, so when experiencing the French Open from Nadal's perspective, what impressed him most was the exhilarating and graceful clay court slide.

Meng Hao was somewhat distracted during this morning self-study class.

His mind was completely focused on that magical green tennis ball.

High school students are a few years older and more mature than junior high school students, and teachers won't push them as hard as they did in junior high. Most of the time, it depends on your self-discipline.

Especially in a prestigious high school like his, where there are so many top students, the competition is incredibly fierce. As a result, everyone studies very diligently and doesn't need teachers to supervise them at all.

Meng Hao and his deskmate Yan Cong had average grades in the class, so they were both very open-minded.

A top university is a long way off; getting into a second-tier university is enough as a backup.

In the classroom, nobody cares what they're doing.

Without making a sound, Meng Hao stuffed the tennis ball into his pocket, then casually slipped his other hand into his pocket as well, and silently closed his eyes.

The image in my mind immediately showed six large characters: "Experience a legendary perspective".

Having just experienced the legendary 2005 French Open from Nadal's perspective, this magical tennis ball was a beginner's gift to him.

At just 19 years old, winning the French Open at Roland Garros was such a wonderful and dreamlike moment.

Many outstanding tennis players never achieve their dreams in their entire lives, but this person accomplished it at the age of 19. How inspiring!

What is a legend?

"At least one Grand Slam singles title!"

"Does that include Olympic singles champion Ma Su?"

The Ma Su that Meng Hao mentioned is the 2004 Athens Olympics men's singles tennis champion.

"No! In the world of professional tennis, only winning a Grand Slam singles title can make you a legend, even if you only have one!"

"Players included in the Legends Perspective, up to September 2025!"

This is also the point in time when Meng Hao was reborn.

Meng Hao gazed at the images before him, which documented the championship journeys of those legendary players. However, each image was marked with a key lock, preventing him from directly unlocking them to experience the legendary perspective. Certain conditions needed to be met.

"Federer's 2004 Wimbledon journey", "Djokovic's 2008 Australian Open journey", "Roddick's 2003 US Open journey", and other Grand Slam title-winning journeys of legendary players.

What impressed Meng Hao the most was "Alcaraz's journey to the 2025 French Open".

Even though some time has passed, Meng Hao still gets excited when he recalls that thrilling French Open final.

The 2025 French Open final will undoubtedly be one of the most exciting Grand Slam finals in history.

Alcaraz staged an epic reversal that was so dramatic that even the most daring screenwriter wouldn't dare to write it.

The final was between world number two Alcaraz and world number one Sinner. The scores of the first four sets were 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 3-5, while the score of the ninth game of the fourth set was 0-40, Alcaraz's service game.

He saved three championship points in a row to hold his serve and bring the score to 4-5. He then broke Sinner's serve.

In the end, he won the next two sets, completing a thrilling comeback with a score of 3-2.

Meng Hao really wanted to experience this French Open journey from Alcaraz's perspective.

What conditions are required to unlock it?
"Once you earn your first ATP point, you can unlock a new 'Experience Legendary Perspective'!"

"After that, when you accumulate 100 ATP points, you can unlock a new 'Experience Legendary Perspective'!"

"Each 'Experience Legendary Perspective' scenario can only be used for the first ten times to improve various technical attributes. Therefore, after the tenth time, the scenario can be experienced for free."

Only the first ten times in the same scenario can improve strength? Understandable! It's like Han Laomo taking drugs; if you take the same drug too many times, you'll develop drug resistance.

As for ATP points, you have to register for professional tennis tournaments to earn them! 100 ATP points are no easy feat. After all, the ATP is full of top players.

No problem, there's still a newbie gift pack!

"Then let's relive Nadal's 2005 French Open journey!"

"The newbie gift pack has been unlocked, but it can only be used for free once. To use it again, you must complete the tasks!"

"What? We need more missions? Don't even mention ATP points, I can't get any ATP points with my current strength!" Meng Hao was speechless. He was hoping to repeatedly farm the "newbie gift pack".

"Run the 1000 meters on the track in under 4 minutes. You can retry the beginner's gift pack once! Because things like strength, stamina, and running speed, which are closely related to physical fitness, cannot be improved by 'experiencing the legendary perspective'."

"You have to improve through your own training, such as running the 1000 meters."

Meng Hao glanced at the track and field outside the window and thought to himself: Although it's misty and rainy right now, it won't affect my running.

Running in the light rain has a unique charm!
Meng Hao snapped out of his thoughts and pretended to pick up his textbook again.

At that moment, the homeroom teacher, who was also the English teacher, had already entered the classroom and was about to start the lesson, so he could only wait for the get out of class to end.

The homeroom teacher's surname is Yu, her given name is Fang, and she is in her early thirties.

For a homeroom teacher at a top high school, the percentage of students admitted to undergraduate programs is not important; what matters is the percentage admitted to key universities.

If a high school is already a top-tier high school, and we're still talking about its undergraduate admission rate, then what's the difference between it and a regular high school?
Therefore, for homeroom teachers in key high schools, their performance is judged solely by the percentage of students admitted to key high schools.

Because of this, she basically turned a blind eye to students like Meng Hao who were far from the cutoff score for key universities.

Do whatever you want, just don't affect the top students in the class.

Even if you only get a vocational college diploma, it won't affect her performance.

In fact, Meng Hao's grades were decent in junior high school, but after entering this prestigious high school, he simply couldn't compete with the top students.

There are about ten students in this class who have been "abandoned" by this teacher.

"Students, as long as you get into a top university, your future will be bright!"

"High-paying jobs, civil service positions, or even immigrating abroad in the future are all within reach."

"The key is that you have to pass the exam!"

In fact, as someone who has been through it all, Meng Hao knows very well that even getting into a 211 or 985 university, let alone a regular key university, does not mean that you can rest easy for the rest of your life.

Outside of the system, even if you work hard for more than ten years, you may still have to be optimized if necessary. That's just how pragmatic capitalists are.

Within the system, without connections or background, one might spend their entire life as an ordinary clerk at the grassroots level, running errands everywhere, with no hope of promotion.

As for immigrating overseas, although Meng Hao had a passport in his previous life, he had never been abroad, so it's unknown.

Some people say it's good, others say it's bad. Perhaps only the rich and handsome readers know the truth.

"I don't want to work hard only to be laid off in the end!"

"I don't want to live in fear every day for that meager salary, swallowing my pride and suffering in front of an unreasonable and domineering boss."

"And your girlfriend, who looks down on your job because it's not respectable and your income is low, yet she spends your money with a clear conscience."

Looking at the panel in front of him, Meng Hao sighed in his heart: Tennis, a beautiful, lonely, and free sport. How fascinated I am by you, and how much I love you, more than any beautiful woman!

"We've been reborn, and now we have this magical green tennis ball. Is there anything better than playing tennis?!"

"Then we absolutely have to play tennis!"

At the age of 17, the prime of youth, embark on your dreams!
