Li Ang was stunned for a moment.

He knew all along that the system was cognitively flawed and was a misaligned system.

Last time, they referred to the NYPD as the Six Doors of the Imperial Court and black drug dealers as Kunlun slaves.

So he stroked his chin and pondered in his heart:

The system says I'm watching the New York State chapter of the World Martial Arts Association competition.

The meaning is quite clear; it likely refers to the current high school football league match.

That required me to win the New York State chapter tournament.

This leader...

Is 80% referring to the league's MVP?

After all, whether it's the regional competition, the state championship, or the national finals.

The individual who wins the MVP award is undoubtedly the most dazzling and dominant champion in that event, series, and even the entire season!

This deduction immediately made Li Ang's heart sink.

Join the high school football team?

Should we start with three teams?

Competing for the state championship?

Win the Finals MVP?

It is obvious that Li Ang's skills have been improving rapidly every day after a week of diligent study and practice.

But they are still far from being top high school athletes like Bruce.

Not to mention standing out in New York State, where there are many strong competitors, and reaching the top.

However, this hesitation vanished the moment the task reward was seen.

Rejuvenating Elixir!

Although the task description doesn't specify, the mere mention of "Rejuvenation Pill" clearly hints at the reward's function!

Li Ang has recently been studying the "Hehuan Medicine King Manual" with great enthusiasm, and has also been using his spare time to cram a lot of traditional Dongda cultivation knowledge into the overseas version of Qidian Novels.

The term "rejuvenation" is not unfamiliar to me.

In Eastern cultivation systems and myths, the phrase "rejuvenation" is often closely associated with "withered trees coming back to life," "resurrection," and "rejuvenation."

It is a powerful force that can reverse decay, make up for deficits, and revitalize decay!

It is the healing elixir that countless people dream of!

Li Ang trembled slightly with excitement, and Fiona's pale face appeared in his mind.

A strong desire welled up in my heart:

If this Rejuvenation Pill truly lives up to its name and has the effect of restoring youth.

Is there any hope that Fiona's kidney disease will be completely cured, and that she won't even need a kidney transplant?

Can she embrace the sunshine, life, and future again like a healthy 25-year-old girl?!

This possibility made Li Ang so excited that he almost trembled!

Liu Yue was startled by his sudden movement. She gently tugged at his sleeve and asked with concern:

"What's wrong? You seem so excited all of a sudden. Is Bruce about to go on stage?"

Li Ang took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions, and shook his head, saying:

"It's nothing, I just felt this game was pretty important. Bruce, he really needs to perform well."

He said that, but in his heart he wished he could rush onto the court right now and play for Bruce!

No, not just for Bruce, he also needs to become the core of this team.

He wants to win!

Win all the games!

Win the state championship!

Until you become the MVP!

"Beep—!!!"

Just then, the referee blew the opening whistle forcefully.

The sound was sharp and piercing, instantly drowning out all the noise.

This officially kicks off the high school league battle!

The high school league follows the rules of the NFL (Major League).

The rules can be simply understood as a turn-based attack and defense game.

In each round, the offensive and defensive teams each send out 11 players to the field on a 100-yard field.

There are two ways for the attacking team to score.

The first scoring method is called a touchdown.

In other words, you can score 6 points by trying to get the ball into the end zone in front of the opponent's baseline.

After scoring a touchdown, you can add a goal for 1 point, or score another touchdown for 2 points.

A complete process can earn a maximum of 8 points, which is the standard scoring method.

The second way to score is by shooting.

At the baseline of both sides, there are two tall goalposts and a crossbar, forming a shooting area similar to a basketball hoop.

The attacking team scores 3 points if they kick the ball into this basket.

Because the scoring efficiency of shooting is too low, it is usually only when the attacking team is too weak and has no chance of breaking through the defense within the round, and feels that there is no hope of scoring a touchdown, that they will choose to take a desperate gamble and shoot directly at the opponent.

Regardless of the scoring method, if the attacking team fails to score and the defense manages to stop the attack, they will lose possession of the ball.

Switch to the defensive side and defend against the opponent's next attack.

Before the game officially started, Jack Davis, the captain and starting quarterback of the River Valley High School Knights, a tall, meticulously groomed white young man with blond hair, walked to the center of the court with a serious expression.

On the other side, the captain of the Fordham Preparatory High School chaplaincy team was a Latino boy with a buzz cut.

The two stood in front of the referee, nodded to each other as a greeting.

The referee was a short, stocky, middle-aged white man with a sunburned neck.

Wearing a classic black and white striped shirt often seen on television, he held a shiny half-dollar coin in his hand.

He looked at the two of them and said loudly:

"Away team to go first. Priests, heads or tails?"

The Latino man smirked and said confidently:

"Tails, referee."

The referee nodded and flicked his thumb forcefully.

The silver coin spun and flew into the brightly lit night sky, tracing a brief, shimmering silver arc.

Then, with a "snap," he caught it steadily and placed it on the back of his hand.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in the audience, he slowly removed his palm.

Turn it up.

"The priests guessed correctly!"

The referee's voice was transmitted throughout the stadium via microphone:

"To attack, to defend, or to choose the field?"

Before an American football game, the two teams coin toss for first place, and the team that coin toss has three options.

Those are the three types the referee just mentioned.

If you choose to attack, the opponent will kick off, and you will receive the ball. After receiving the ball, you can call on the attacking team to start organizing the attack.

Choosing to defend is the opposite.

Choosing a venue means giving up the right to choose, forcing the other party to choose, while you can choose the venue yourself.

Choose an environment with better wind direction, lighting, etc.

It can be described as having the ability to both attack and defend.

When the Latino student Marcus heard the referee's question, the confident smile on his lips became even more pronounced.

It even carried a hint of playfulness.

His gaze swept over the tense-faced Cavaliers captain, Jack Davis, and he spoke clearly into the referee's microphone:

"We'll play defense. Let the Cavaliers' offense come up and test the waters first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fans on the River Valley High School side were stunned for a moment, and then erupted into even greater dissatisfaction and agitation.

The stands erupted in uproar!

The middle-aged white man wearing a baseball cap next to Li Ang suddenly raised his voice and cursed incredulously:

"Damn it! Who the hell does this kid think he is?! Choosing defense for the first pitch? Damn it, he actually dares to choose defense?!"

Liu Yue was a little bewildered by the sudden and huge reaction from the Cavaliers fans.

She tugged at Li Ang's sleeve and asked softly:

"Li Ang, what's wrong with choosing defense? Why is everyone reacting so strongly? Isn't choosing defense a good idea?"
