From today on is the king

Chapter 9 9. Francis' Hostility

bang bang...

"Ace, Ace, wake up, hurry up and have breakfast, there is a game tonight..."

With the knock on the door comes a gentle call...

Liu Mang woke up instantly when he heard this voice.

Are you going to collect rent again?

Wait, why is the voice so gentle today?

Liu Mang looked at himself, and sure enough, he has grown a lot, and he can't go back to the original world just by sleeping.

The clothes are well dressed, I was so excited last night, I fell asleep immediately after being so excited.

Very reasonable.

Liu Mang tidied up his clothes, walked out of the room and came to the small living room.

Liu Mang rents an apartment building less than three kilometers away from the Phillips Arena in Atlanta. The area is small, more than 40 square meters. A living room, a room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a balcony are enough for living.

Liu Mang came out and opened the door, it was his landlord.

"Oh, Levia, I just paid the rent two days ago! The money is still borrowed! You can't raise the rent at this time! It's agreed to wait until after I get paid." Although Liu Mang spoke quickly, he didn't have the confidence.

This is where Liu Mang came to rent when he came to the United States to go to university. The rent was not expensive back then. The landlady, Levia Savishia, saw that he was a student, so the rent he asked for was not much, 300 US dollars a month, which was less than half of other tenants.

However, the rent was so tight that Liu Mang’s family was not very rich, and the family could only pay him tuition fees, living expenses and so on were work-study programs, and sometimes it was impossible to make up the rent of 300 per month.

As for the dormitory... the dormitory fee for international students is very expensive. In fact, not many students who study in the United States live on campus. Leaving aside the racial discrimination that may be encountered in dormitory, the Georgia Institute of Technology where Liu Mang works is an annual dormitory fee of US$5000, which is not affordable for ordinary international students.

Most of the international students rent a house for about 3600 dollars a month, and the annual payment is [-] to [-] dollars. The apartment that Liu Mang rents is quite luxurious. Sometimes his classmates think he is a local tyrant. The annual rent for apartments above the second floor is normally as high as [-] dollars a year.

It's just that after renting for less than half a year, Liu Mang wanted to live in the same single room as those classmates.

I have no other wishes, I just want to live in a cheap place. Almost all the young couples live in this apartment. It seems that only he, the single dog group, has a suite.

But there is one thing, the rent is really too cheap compared to other tenants, and it has been cheap for two years...

The big beauty now looks hurt: "Oh, Ace, do you think I'm a woman who only knows about money?"

"...If you don't urge the rent on time on the 30th of every month, and if you don't see me being selected for the NBA, you will have to raise the rent. I probably don't think so." Liu Mang said speechlessly, "Isn't it urging the rent? Then why did you wake me up early in the morning, Levia?"

He couldn't figure it out!Why does this rich woman who owns a seven-story apartment and rents out more than 20 suites every month pay rent like a charter woman?Or is it that women who become charter wives, even beautiful women, are like this?
"In the future, Ace, you will be a big football star. Do you still care about the rent? It must be paid for a year, and then you will go to buy a villa by yourself. You will not ask me to refund the money, you say yes!"

Liu Mang looked helplessly at the beautiful landlady who was still showing a look of wealth.

"Okay, okay, come to Ace, my sister made breakfast for you today."

Liu Mang said that he was really not used to the beautiful landlord being so courteous.

These days, the people of the US emperor are equally depraved!When he was in the second round, the landlord almost kicked him out if he didn't pay him a rent increase. Then he signed a contract with a guarantee for the first year, so he stayed again. After a good game, he scored 10 points in his debut. He seemed to be a little famous, and he became so close in an instant.

Liu Mang followed the beautiful landlord to the top floor of the apartment. He himself lived on the sixth floor. The other apartments on the sixth floor were not rented out. They were all used by the beautiful landlord to store things. The five floors below were only rented out. The apartment is a street. There are no so-called residential areas in the United States. They are all streets, or they are villas. Apartment buildings generally occupy a relatively large area, and they are all at the end of the street.

The seventh floor is equivalent to a super-large suite, and almost the entire room is occupied by the beautiful landlord's family.

Liu Mang has been here many times over the past two years, mainly to pay the rent and sleep, and those memories have almost merged, as if he had done something himself, Liu Mang is quite familiar with this place.

It is said that the beautiful landlord is a family, but it seems that there are only two people, she and her daughter.

"Wow, Uncle Ace, today Dinah thinks that Uncle Ace has become more handsome!" A blond little beauty, like a miniature version of a beautiful landlady, rushed over and grabbed Liu Mang's thigh, "I used to think that Uncle was a bad uncle who would only secretly stare at mother's breasts, but I didn't expect Uncle to be so powerful! He beat that ugly monster of Team Rocket!"

The little loli is the best!The five or six-year-old little loli is simply too cute.

However, Liu Mang still remembered that it was this cute but extremely arrogant little loli who tricked him into this expensive apartment. At that time, the apartment had just been built, and none of the houses were rented out. Even the little loli came out for sale.

Also, Francis is also pitiful, isn't it just that he looks too African, so he is so ugly... Indeed, most blacks are just ugly.

Liu Mang, led by little sister Dinah, came to the living room and saw the breakfast on the table.

This... Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Liu Mang felt that something was wrong, something must be wrong.

When Liu Mang was in college, it wasn’t that he didn’t come to eat when he was too poor. After all, the school team didn’t have training and competitions every day, and they had to go to class. Most of the time, they had to eat by themselves, and the school team only had a meal at noon, and they ate themselves for breakfast and dinner.

However, Liu Mang had never seen these two beauties, one big and one small, prepare such a big table breakfast?
In the past, there were a few slices of bread, a bottle of tomato sauce, an egg at most, and hot milk at the top, and even a few slices of vegetables, but today there are French soup, vegetables, bread, tender beef slices, egg tarts, miso soup, saury, natto... and even a plate of meat buns!

There are breakfasts in China, Western Japan and Japan!

Is it Chinese New Year today?Christmas is more than a month away!And even last Christmas, the beautiful landlord just bought him a hamburger for breakfast!

Liu Mang was a little apprehensive, what is this beautiful landlady going to do?
No, what is the picture?
Liu Mang's family knew about their own affairs, so it was definitely impossible for this beautiful landlord to take a fancy to him.

Although this apartment is not far from the Phillips Center, that is, it is impossible to be in the city center, but in the outskirts of the city, but because of the convenient transportation here, not far from the subway, and the Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles, and the Mercedes Arena, home of Atlanta's powerful NFL Falcons, are very close, so this apartment is worth at least 1000 million dollars.

And Liu Mang is only a second-round pick. The average career lifespan of second-round picks in the NBA is less than three years. The average salary of all active players who entered the NBA in the second round last season was less than $100 million. He knew that even if he was an NBA player, if he didn’t do well, he might not be able to make money if he earned 200 million in his career. It was definitely not possible for the beautiful landlord to take a fancy to him.

Want to say Liu Mang is handsome?He himself doesn't think he is very handsome, at most he has good looks, and if he is rich, he is definitely not as rich as other beautiful landlords.

That's why Liu Mang was even more disturbed. He took two bites of a steamed bun that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and then felt even weirder.

Because the two beauties, one big and one small, were staring at him.

I can't eat this rich breakfast!Liu Mang asked with a wry smile, "Levia, Dinah, what are you doing staring at me?"

"It's okay, we won't rush you, Dinah doesn't have class today, please eat slowly and eat more." The beautiful landlady said with a smile.

"That's right, uncle, eat a little more, he will have strength when he is full, and beat up Iverson hard at night, just like he beat up that ugly uncle Francis yesterday!" Dinah said with her fists clenched.

That's what happened!
Liu Mang thought that this was the case, and then he remembered that Americans have a much stronger sense of belonging in sports than Chinese people. Most people in Europe and the United States are fans of sports teams. The home team of the two beautiful landlords, the mother and daughter, is the Eagles. No wonder they are so hospitable today.

Speaking of the 76ers, people have the impression that they were the second strongest team in the league last season. Last season, the 76ers almost swept all the awards in the regular season. The MVP was Iverson, the best coach was Larry Brown, the best defensive player was Mutombo, the best sixth man was Aaron McGee, and the best manager was their boss Joshua Harris. Except for the Most Improved Award, they won all the five most important awards in the regular season.

This year, the 76ers basically kept their core lineup from last season, and then introduced the No. 1990 pick in [-], the former super power forward Derek Coleman, and the quasi-first-class small forward Matt Harprin.

But Liu Wei knows that this year's 76ers are average and not weak, but they are definitely not a top team. The Eagles still have the strength to fight.

But Liu Mang is a little strange, when did he blow up Francis?Isn't it just secretly relying on Klay Thompson's ability to shoot a few three-pointers?
Then, the sports news on TV that was playing told him the answer.

The morning broadcast of ESPN Sports Station, the kind that continuously broadcasts and then interrupts the latest news, is similar to the sports news of the imperial court 5.

Unlike domestic news broadcasters who are either aunts or wretched uncles, there are not so many strange regulations here in the United States. For news, you must find a beautiful anchor!

The super-deep V beauty anchor began to read the press release again: "...Today is the second day of the NBA regular season. Today's hot game is the Philadelphia 76ers' away game against the Atlanta Hawks. In yesterday's game, Hawks rookie Ace Liu performed well and beat Rockets point guard Steve Francis. He scored 3 points in 10 minutes to help the Hawks complete the comeback..."

Depend on!Liu Mang wants to scold someone, this headline is party!

This is a proper way to draw hatred!

Among other things, Boss F is very popular and has a good relationship with many stars. Now there is a news that he beat Francis!Liu Mang felt that he was going to be targeted!Leaving aside those stars who have a good relationship with Francis, the gimmick of blowing Francis up against him will probably make many obvious defenders very motivated!Anyone who has seen what happened to Lin Crazy knows how hard it is for Lin Crazy to be targeted by superstars after his short peak period is over!
At this moment, Francis, who was probably still in the hotel and hadn't returned to Houston, got up and watched the news and had breakfast, a voice came out of Liu Mang's mind.

"Received the latest quest Francis' hostility: Get at least 15 points on Francis's head in the next match against the Rockets, including a one-on-one three-pointer. Mission completion rewards one mid-level superstar value draw for any profession, and the penalty for failure is to run around Times Square in New York wearing underwear. Note: The mid-level superstar value draw can specify a draw direction, and there is a [-]/[-] chance of being able to draw items in the specified direction."

"..."

Depend on!
It turns out that this system is really rogue!
Only wear underwear?What's the difference between this and naked-ben!
And it is Times Square with the most traffic in the United States!

But this reward...

It is equal to [-] superstar value!According to the current calculation of tens of hundreds of points in a regular game, it is not necessarily profitable to play a game for a year!

But with such a high reward, the difficulty is definitely not ordinary!This time, when Francis was still underestimating, he scored 3 three-pointers in a row. Didn't you see that Francis' serious actions were going to kill people?It's not about how good Francis is at defending, but about his ruthlessness. Players who entered the NBA in the 90s all had that kind of ruthlessness!
Seeing Liu Mang suddenly in a daze, Dinah's little girl shouted: "Uncle, uncle, eat quickly! It's getting cold, come on! If you win the 76ers today, Dinah will give uncle a kiss..."

The beautiful landlady at the side couldn't help laughing, it's such a pleasure to see people deflated.

"...Don't, molesting girls is against the law." Liu Mang was speechless.

"Dinah will become a big beauty in the future!" Little Lolita Dinah emphasized, but she looked down at her small body, which was really unattractive, so she said, "Then, let the uncle kiss my mother, no, my mother will do Jeet Kune Do, and probably beat the uncle to death, so Dinah secretly asks the uncle to kiss her while her mother is asleep."

"..." This time it was the turn of the beautiful landlady to be speechless...
