I want to be a superstar.

In the United States, university education is highly autonomous.

This autonomy is reflected not only in student admissions but also in the length of the academic program.

Ye Si attended primary and secondary school in China, and as far as he knew, university education in China was entirely conducted on a two-semester system.

In the United States, while two-semester systems are also the mainstream, they only account for 70% of all universities.

Another 30% of universities operate under other academic systems.

比如学季制，比如三学期制，比如4-1-4制或4-4-1制等等。

It's fair to say that the systems at every university in the United States can be quite bewildering.

The University of Washington, where Yes studied, operates on a quarter system.

While the quarter system is not the mainstream in the United States, it is implemented by 15% of universities, making it the second most popular academic system.

This system is common in states like California and many other states in the northwestern United States.

This system divides the year into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Basically, each quarter consists of three months, with two months of classes, one week of exams, and three weeks of vacation.

This is a very inhumane system. Even if you only have two months of classes per quarter, you still have to take midterm and final exams.

The system has two semesters, meaning there are only four midterm and final exams per year.

The academic season system consists of eight sessions.

Needless to say, while other universities with a two-semester system are still on summer vacation and having fun, schools with a quarter system are still holding summer semester classes.

Fortunately, Yes was not an ordinary student; he was a special sports student.

His main purpose in coming to the University of Washington wasn't to study, but to play basketball.

Although Coach Floyd hoped that he would study hard at the University of Washington, ideally earning a master's or doctoral degree and then staying on to teach at the university.

Coach Floyd was a very, very good coach. He had a very clear vision for the future of the five of them.

According to Coach Floyd, the five of them dedicated their entire high school lives to Garfield High School and Seattle.

Then Seattle and he would have to take responsibility for the five of them.

According to Coach Floyd's plan, Roy, the worst student among the five, was to succeed him.

Regardless of whether Roy can graduate from college, as long as Roy gets a job.

Then he would choose to retire and recommend Roy to Garfield High School to become the head coach of the Garfield basketball team.

The other three, though not academically gifted, had no problem teaching in Garfield because they had no learning difficulties.

As for Yes, Yes has the best learning ability.

If Yes chooses law or another profession that allows him to work for a large company in Seattle, he would recommend that Yes work at the headquarters of Boeing or Microsoft in Seattle.

Coach Floyd has that kind of energy, and Yes is well aware of that.

But Yes chose education, so the best place for him was to stay at the university and teach.

Yes left China at the age of 14 to study in the United States, and he always felt that the luckiest thing for him was coming to Garfield High School.

I got to know people like Roy, and I also got a coach like Coach Floyd who was completely unlike an American.

If he didn't want to go to the NBA, Coach Floyd's life plan for him was exactly the kind of life his junior high school classmates dreamed of.

By entering a prestigious American university or company, and then staying there to work, one can naturally become an American citizen and reach the pinnacle of life.

However, while Yes was always grateful to Coach Floyd, he had little interest in becoming an American.

I have little interest in reaching such a pinnacle of life.

He never forgot why he came to America.

He came here to complete a system task.

He was educated by the system from a young age to be an obsessive-compulsive!

He won't be able to die in peace until he finishes the system's main quest!

Although he didn't know how many stages the system's main quest had, he thought he would at least have to become a superstar.

He has only completed the first step in becoming a superstar!

Although becoming an NBA superstar was far more difficult than following the path that Coach Floyd had planned for him.

But he has never regretted it!

He was willing to give everything so that he could go all the way to becoming a superstar and so that he could die in peace!

Player rating: D, a top-tier amateur player with well-rounded skills and speed.

It looks much better than it did three months ago.

With the boost from the John Wall (High School) player card and the "Weightless" status, his actual speed has reached 96, and his explosiveness has reached 76.8.

Speed ​​represents a person's peak speed, while explosive power represents the acceleration a person needs to reach peak speed.

The higher the explosive power, the greater the acceleration, and the shorter the time it takes to accelerate from zero to the peak speed.

Therefore, on the basketball court, explosive power is usually used in conjunction with speed.

Explosion, acceleration, sprint, dunk—all in one smooth motion!

This was the fighting style that Yes used to be most familiar with.

Compared to the omnipotent praise he received back then, he now prefers the kind of brutal, overwhelming style.

Just like he shouted at Lin Qiuyi back then.

He always felt that he was a "powerful and mighty" person like Zhou Yu.

Seattle fans also like his playing style; otherwise, he wouldn't be the most popular of the five.

However, since Roy and his teammates left, and the opposing team threw their best defenders off Roy and in front of him, he has found it difficult to play that kind of crushing style.

Instead, they use their comprehensive abilities to entangle with the other party.

In high school basketball, the inability to dominate an opponent means a lack of talent.

Yes is now considered someone who has no talent.

Overwhelming your opponent demonstrates talent; failing to overwhelm them means you lack talent.

So Ye Sigao was a talented player at first, but later he became a player without talent.

That's just how it is in American basketball.

"Webster, Roy, Conroy, and Avery Bradley have given me a total of 4 points of burst damage. If I can raise my base burst damage to 70, plus the 20% bonus, I should be able to recreate the talent-based playstyle?"

If you want to get into the NBA, you have to show people your talent.

In a sense, it was really lucky to draw the John Wall (high school) trading card.

"Hopefully, the next player card will also provide a boost to all physical attributes!"

On Monday, May 16, 2005, Roy and his team enthusiastically helped Yes complete his registration at the University of Washington.

The moment he completed his registration, he officially became a student at the University of Washington.

He had naturally completed the second step of his main quest.

Main Quest: The Second Step to Superstardom

Mission requirement: Become an NCAA player

Mission Reward: One Single Draw Ticket for a Player Card

Task status: Completed

At the same time, he also saw his third main quest.

Main Quest: The Third Step to Superstardom

Task requirement: Become an NBA player

Mission Reward: One Single Player Draw Ticket

Task Status: Incomplete

In addition to the main quest, Ye Si's system quest template also features a new quest in another form!

Side Quest: Win an NCAA official game

Task requirement: Win an official NCAA game and play in the game.

Task Reward: You can choose any stage of practice method for any attribute. The quality of the practice method depends on the completion rate of the task.

Side quests? Choose your practice method? And, quest completion rate?!

"Ye, stop daydreaming, let's go to the training gym. Coach Romar is waiting for you."
