American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Mike nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the burly man in the black suit beside him.

He recognized that look all too well—the man in black.

Seeing Mike's reaction, the priest, dressed as a man, smiled and continued, "I am Bishop James. Next, I will perform a baptism for you to cleanse you of all bad luck."

This time, before Mike could answer, Bishop James took out a 100ml bottle from his person, which contained holy water of higher purity.

The purity of holy water can be easily discerned from the brightness of its glow.

Before Mike could complain, Bishop James dipped a drop of holy water in his hand and smeared it on his forehead.

The baptism was a pretense to remove bad luck; the real purpose was to verify whether Mike had been infected by a vampire.

It can be said that the church operates with great rigor.

Seeing that Mike had no adverse reaction to the holy water, Bishop James's smile became much more genuine.

He turned and nodded to the man in black beside him; the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Bishop James then turned his back, while the burly man in black put on specially made sunglasses and took out a pen-shaped "memory eraser" from his pocket.

The memory eraser has three circular buttons that represent time scales such as "hour", "week", and "year".

The burly man in black adjusted the time and said, "Kid, look here."

A flash of blue light appeared, and the burly man in black took off his sunglasses and said, "Alright kid, nothing happened tonight. No vampires, no explosions... Go back and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day."

Yes, the burly man in black only erased Mike's memory of that night.

Memory erasers had drawbacks from the early stages of their development. If ordinary people have their memories repeatedly erased by them, or if the erased memories are too old, it can damage their brains.

Of course, this memory eraser isn't that incredibly powerful; it can only be used to erase the memories of ordinary people.

After Mike turned and left the woods in a daze, Bishop James looked at the wreckage of the red sports car not far away and said with a headache, "How are we going to clean this up?"

The burly man in black didn't answer, but raised his three-barreled plasma cannon and fired another laser.

The wreckage was moved to the ground, leaving not even a trace.

“Your Black Organization’s operation is quite brutal.” Bishop James looked surprised, then added, “By the way, you’ll need to come with me to town later. I’m a little worried about Pastor Jeff…”

Mentioning Pastor Jeff gave Bishop James another headache. How could a clergyman have been so easily approached by a vampire without even noticing?

This situation is truly a disgrace to the church.

On the other side, Mike, who had just emerged from the woods, blinked his listless eyes and then regained his previous liveliness.

"Let's see what good things Serena left me..."

Mike held a large white ball of light in his hand, which was left behind when Serena was destroyed.

【Moonlight (Characteristics): 1. Increases combat power by 50% at night. 2. Absorbs moon energy to enhance physical constitution.】

This is essentially a nighttime buff, and it's sustainable, so it's a good thing.

Mike integrated the properties of the moonlight into his body and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Chapter 62 Third Round of the League

Because of his "demon body," Mike is not an ordinary person, and his memories of tonight were not erased by the memory eraser.

After learning about the Black Organization, he also came to understand some things.

Mike had previously researched the aftermath of the Jennifer incident in the small Minnesota town. However, it wasn't mentioned in television or newspapers.

This is likely due to the church and the Men in Black organization blocking information, preventing ordinary people from accessing such supernatural events.

This can be considered a form of protection for ordinary people.

This is also a good thing for Mike, as he has the [Moonlight] ability but doesn't plan to get involved in supernatural events right now.

As an "ordinary person," quietly developing your strength is the best approach.

Moreover, the Moonlight property is indeed powerful. After basking in the moonlight for a while, Mike could feel that the stamina he had used up during his battle with Serena had almost fully recovered.

On the other hand, Mike could also feel that his body's functions were indeed more acute under the moonlight.

Next, Mike stretched his body without any burden and jogged all the way back to Connie's grandma's house.

Connie's grandmother, with the door tightly shut, had no idea that Mike had gone out that night and had experienced such a dangerous thing.

Mike didn't bother the other person. He went back to his room in the dark and then drew back the curtains.

Sure enough, as long as moonlight shone in, Mike could enjoy the benefits brought by the properties of moonlight.

Before going to sleep, he took a look at his physical condition, which was now 162.

……

The next morning, Mike opened his eyes as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window.

At the same time, he checked his physical attributes again and found that they had reached 165.

In just one night, the Moon Essence ability increased his physical constitution by three points.

This discovery delighted Mike.

If this continues, Mike will become a mini-Superman in less than a year.

However, Mike realized that perhaps his initial constitution attribute was relatively low, which explained the significant improvement in the early stages. Later, once his constitution attribute had grown to a certain level, the increase in constitution brought by the Moonflower trait might not be as noticeable.

This is something Mike will need to figure out gradually over time.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Connie's grandma had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

Today is the day the Melford High School rugby team advances to the third round, which is a big event for the local town of Deford.

Previously, Melford High School had never achieved such good results; they were usually eliminated in the first or second round.

So, to support the rugby team in achieving good results, Grandma Connie will definitely be at the stadium today to cheer them on.

Sure enough, after breakfast, Grandma Connie followed Mike out of the room.

At that time, Coach George, who lived across the street, also happened to be out with George Jr. and Sheldon Jr.

George looked to be in great spirits today, almost walking with a brisk pace. As the team's receiver, he felt his status within the family had risen thanks to the team's excellent performance.

After exchanging greetings, Mike, for once, got a ride in Connie's grandma's car and headed to school.

As the competition drew near, a large crowd had already gathered on the school playground. Among them were not only students from all grades of the school, but also many local residents.

At a cursory glance, there were probably over two thousand people. The number of spectators will likely be even greater during the actual competition.

Mike spotted Jack, a local TV reporter, waving at him from the crowd.

Behind him stood an intern reporter holding a huge banner poster.

Now, Jack has caught the wave of Mike's popularity, and his status at the local radio station has clearly improved.

Now, they even have little followers.

Because of their business partnership (selling photos), Mike smiled and waved to Jack.

With Mike's outstanding performance in the first two games and his appearance on the local sports channel, he is now somewhat of a celebrity in the small town.

It is foreseeable that as long as the team continues its winning streak in the upcoming third round of matches, they will be able to secure a victory.

Then, Mike will gain even more fame, and his photo-selling business with Jack will only become more and more successful.

Perhaps in the future, those who want to buy Michael's photos will no longer be limited to female students at schools.

Envisioning a bright future, Mike, accompanied by George Jr., headed towards the locker room.

Not far away, we saw Karen with big waves waving enthusiastically in the corner.

Seeing this, little George looked on with envy for a second before wisely walking towards the locker room alone.

"Is something the matter, Karen?" Mike asked, stepping out from the corner.

Karen, still looking stunning in her cheerleader skirt, glanced around before quickly saying, "Mike, Regina mobilized the entire cheerleading squad to stop cheering for you today. Be prepared."

On the sports field, many athletes are the kind of athletes who thrive on creating a positive atmosphere. When there are beautiful women cheering them on, they often unleash even greater fighting spirit.

Regina seized upon this point and launched her revenge against Mike.

It must be said that the queen bee does have some tricks up her sleeve, though not many.

Mike's mental age is not that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, so he doesn't care about this level of targeting at all.

"Thank you for letting me know," Mike said with a smile, expressing his gratitude to the girl who had come to inform on him.

"Go for it, Mike!" Karen clenched her fist in a gesture of encouragement. "No matter what, I'll support you."

As the girl spoke, her eyes gradually hardened.

At the same time, her dissatisfaction with the queen bee gradually outweighed her fear.

After chatting with Karen for a couple more minutes, Mike headed back towards the football locker room.

To everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the locker room corridor, they ran into Katie again at the corner.

At this moment, Katie was also wearing a cheerleader uniform and had exquisite makeup on her face.

Compared to a few weeks ago, she has made great progress in both her appearance and her overall demeanor.

Upon seeing Mike, Katie's eyes lit up, and she said, "Mike, be careful, Regina, she..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, Mike added, "Did she tell you not to cheer for me?"

"How did you know?" Katie asked, sounding somewhat surprised.

Mike smiled, offered no further explanation, and said, "I understand the situation now, but thank you anyway."

Hearing Mike's thanks, Katie felt a little thrill inside. Then she said, "Don't worry, Mike, I'll always be on your side."

Furthermore, many members of the cheerleading squad expressed their incomprehension regarding Regina's request.

Clearly, Queen Bee's actions this time were a bad move, putting her at odds with the girls.

Judging from Karen and Katie's performance, Regina's authority in the cheerleading team is not very high anymore.

After saying goodbye to Katie, Mike stepped into the locker room.

When Mike entered the room, all the team members were very eager to see him, and people made way for him along the way.

All I can say is that Mike won over his teammates with his outstanding performance in the first two games.

Now, he has become the de facto leader of the locker room.

Chapter 63 The game begins

Texas has more than 100 colleges and universities. After being divided into four competition areas, each competition area has about 20 teams.

Furthermore, because the Summer League uses a single-elimination format, basically surviving the third round is enough to secure a place in the top ten of the state.

Being ranked among the top ten in Texas is a level that Melford Public Schools had never reached before.

So in a way, this rugby team is making history.

After a long break, it was 10:30. Captain Aaron gathered the team members ahead of time and went to the entrance gate to prepare.

The team members could hear the commotion outside, which gradually made their expressions tense.

As the game was about to begin, spectators gradually arrived at the venue. The more than four thousand spectators almost filled the Melford High School playground.

"Mike, are you nervous right now?" At the entrance, little George rubbed the straps on his helmet and asked in a low voice.

He was so nervous that his hands were trembling and his breathing was a little labored.

"It's alright," Mike said casually.

Having witnessed two extraordinary events, Mike's perspective was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. In his eyes, the current situation was merely a minor matter.

Looking at Mike's calm demeanor, which seemed genuine, little George said enviously, "You really have a big heart!"

Mike smiled and shrugged, offering no further explanation.

On the other side, at the side door of the passage, Sheldon Jr., with Dan, was stopped by the students in charge of security.

“My dad, George, is the team’s head coach, and my brother, George Jr., is the team’s wide receiver. There’s also running back Mike, who’s my friend…” Sheldon explained earnestly, hoping to get some special treatment.

The students responsible for security at the entrance, of course, recognized Sheldon. After thinking for a moment, they said, "You can go in, but remember, don't disturb the team members."

"Thank you~" Having received the leniency, Sheldon nodded and led Dan into the passage.
