"Never mind, Meteor Brother, I'm fine..." An Ran said at this moment.

"No need, just be careful next time," Qin Tian said, then stood in the passageway and casually tossed the basketball onto the basketball court.

"Holy crap!" A gasp rippled through the crowd, many stunned into silence. That was over ten meters away, well beyond the three-point line, and they still managed to make it!

"It must have been a coincidence, right?" someone said.

“What a coincidence,” another person chimed in.

"Brother Meteor, you're so amazing!" At this moment, An Ran's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Tian with admiration.

"It's nothing, it's not difficult at all," Qin Tian said with a smile. Although it was a basketball, not a throwing knife, it was indeed not difficult for him. You see, with his current level, he could use anything as a weapon, and hitting the target was a sure thing.

"So, buddy, you weren't just catching a coincidence?" A basketball player who was resting on a stone bench overheard this and couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps." Qin Tian shrugged, offering no response, and simply pulled An Ran's hand, continuing to walk forward.

"Hey buddy, how about a game? Our school hasn't seen a player as good as you in ages," the basketball player said from behind.

Qin Tian waved his hand, showing no interest in the matter. Right now, his most important thing was being with An Ran; he didn't want to waste time playing basketball.

The players behind felt a little disappointed, but they didn't force anyone else.

"An Ran." Just then, someone seemed to recognize An Ran and suddenly called out to her, "Our School of Arts and the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are playing a basketball game right now, don't you want to go and watch?" Qin Tian and An Ran were about to leave.

Suddenly someone recognized An Ran and called her over.

An Ran turned around and saw several female classmates who were going to watch the basketball game between the School of Arts and the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

The female classmates also saw Qin Tian at this moment and couldn't help but laugh and tease him: "I was wondering why I hadn't seen An Ran at the game. So you got a boyfriend. Is he from our school?"

The students at this university are full of youthful energy and are at the age when they love to gossip the most.

"Hello, my name is Meteor, and I'm a soldier." Qin Tian, ​​no longer intimidated, introduced himself. However, he used an alias, not wanting to reveal too much of his real information.

"A soldier?" Upon hearing this, the girls were all taken aback. It wasn't that they had any prejudice against soldiers, but at this age when they love to have fun, having a soldier boyfriend who is often away from home was indeed a bit unexpected.

"So what if they're soldiers? Without soldiers protecting our country, how could we be here happily going to university?" An Ran said, holding Qin Tian's arm openly and with a happy expression.

These words warmed Qin Tian's heart once again. Where could he find such a sensible girlfriend?
"Haha, that's not what we meant," several girls said with a laugh. They were all classmates, and there was no need to make things unpleasant over this.

"Your name is Liu Xing? You're not Liu Xing from 'Home with Kids,' are you?" a girl asked, changing the subject.

“Are you stupid? Liu Xing’s real name is Zhang Yishan,” a girl retorted.

"By the way, what's your rank? We've been watching 'Descendants of the Sun,' and Captain Yoo is so handsome!" a girl asked gossipy.

"Are you stupid? What rank could someone who just joined the army have? He might even be a conscript." Soon, this girl was retorted by another girl. They saw how young Qin Tian was and assumed he had only recently joined the army.

"You're the idiot! Don't you know that conscripts aren't allowed to go out freely? Liu Xing must have stayed behind." The girl retorted defiantly.

The girls' bickering and arguing actually made them seem like they had a very good relationship.

"The captain in Korean dramas is equivalent to a lieutenant in our country, and I have the same rank as him," Qin Tian said casually. It seems Korean dramas have quite a significant influence on Chinese girls.

"What? You're a captain too? No, a lieutenant captain? How could someone so young reach that rank?" Upon hearing this, the other girls all exclaimed in disbelief.

"Just kidding." Qin Tian smiled, offering no further explanation. In truth, he believed he would soon be promoted to major; that Captain Liu was no match for him.

"Anran, your boyfriend is really funny." A girl said with a hint of sarcasm, seemingly disliking Qin Tian's joking behavior and even more unwilling to have anyone compare him to her idol.

An Ran glanced sweetly at Qin Tian, ​​but didn't seem to care. She instinctively believed that her Meteor Brother wouldn't lie; he simply couldn't explain himself because his identity needed to be kept secret.

"Come on, Anran, let's go watch a basketball game. We can also introduce your handsome boyfriend to everyone, so the girls will be envious and the boys will be jealous," a girl said, linking her arm with Anran's. "The most beautiful girl in the department has already been won over. I bet those guys playing basketball aren't even focused on the game anymore," another girl teased with a laugh.

An Ran looked at Qin Tian with a questioning gaze, seeking his opinion.

"I have no objection." Although Qin Tian didn't really want to go, he couldn't show it since An Ran's classmates were present, so he just said it calmly.

"Okay, let's go take a look for a while." Hearing that Qin Tian didn't object, An Ran felt embarrassed to refuse, so she agreed.

The group arrived at the basketball court, where the game between the School of Art and the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering had already begun. A large group of female students from the School of Art had gathered around, creating a pleasing scene, but also reflecting the awkward situation of having more women than men in the School of Art.

On the court, the male students from the School of Art were clearly no match for the students from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and were forced to retreat in defeat.

When the boys saw An Ran arrive, they were initially energized, but when they saw An Ran nestled next to a strange man, they all felt a blow. Coupled with their already disadvantaged position, they didn't even want to play basketball anymore.

"Ah!" Shortly after the group arrived, a scream suddenly came from the court. It turned out that a male student from the art school had fallen while grabbing a rebound due to distraction and was crying out in pain.

"Are you alright?" A group of people immediately gathered around and asked with concern.

"Ouch, it hurts! Ah—don't touch me!" The boy was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his face.

An Ran and a group of girls also gathered around.

"Let me take a look." Qin Tian had studied military medicine, so he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. He squatted down, examined it carefully, and then said, "It's dislocated. Bear with it."

With a snap, to everyone's astonishment, Qin Tian grabbed the boy's arm and pulled hard, quickly putting the dislocated joint back into place.

"Anran, your boyfriend actually knows medicine?" The girls around her asked in surprise. Wasn't he supposed to be a soldier?

An Ran, on the other hand, looked proud. What couldn't her Meteor Brother do?
"Let's go to the infirmary to get the wound treated," Qin Tian said. He had fixed the dislocation for the other person, but there were still some external injuries, so it would be better to leave it to the infirmary.

Soon, several people took the injured boy to the infirmary. But this left the art academy's team with not enough players on the court.

"Why don't you go up and give it a try, Liu Xing? I saw you score a basket from way across the field just now," suggested a girl who came with An Ran.

"I'm not from your art school," Qin Tian said, surprised.

"Haha, you're the boyfriend of the most beautiful girl in our department, so you're practically half a member of the art school now," a girl said with a laugh.

"Yeah, Liu Xing, show us what you've got, otherwise I'm afraid some people won't be convinced." Another girl glanced at the other art school players and then smiled meaningfully.

"Hey buddy, give it a try! We're just playing around, it's okay if we lose." The other boys were also a bit competitive; among students, jealousy and rivalry are common. However, these guys seemed fairly friendly.

Qin Tian glanced at An Ran, as if seeking her opinion.

"Why don't you give it a try, Meteor Brother?" An Ran said, urging from the other girls. She was quite confident in Qin Tian's abilities.

"Then I'll give it a try." So Qin Tian agreed. He also wanted An Ran to be envied by other girls and admired by other boys because she had a boyfriend like him.

Actually, Qin Tian rarely played basketball before, but he still understood the basic rules. Although a basketball isn't a throwing knife, he could hit anything with 100% accuracy because the system would automatically adjust factors like weight and resistance to optimize his movements and body alignment. Coupled with his current outstanding physical abilities and extremely high accuracy, he felt that easily defeating a group of students shouldn't be a problem.

"I saw that kid score a basket in the aisle just now, but I don't know if it was just luck," a mechanical engineering student said to his teammate as Qin Tian entered the game.

"So what if it's just a lucky shot? I've made three-pointers in the half-court too," the boy dribbling the ball said with a hint of disdain. Those shots are all about luck; you can't make them every time, so there's nothing to brag about.

"I guess this kid just wants to show off in front of his girlfriend, but... how come such a good girl is going to be with this guy of unknown origin?" The captain of the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department said with a hint of sourness.

"Hey, got it, Captain! The brothers will definitely support you and make sure he doesn't score a single goal." The other players all looked like they understood. It's said their captain once tried to ask An Ran out, but was rejected.

"You won't let me score a single goal?" Although the other person's voice wasn't loud, Qin Tian could hear it. A slight smile played on his lips; preventing him from scoring was going to be quite difficult.

Once on the court, Qin Tian checked the score between the two teams. It was 42 to 28, with the School of Arts trailing the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering by 14 points.

"Dude, it's up to you." After Qin Tian entered the game, an art school player walked over and patted him on the shoulder. This was somewhat of a joke, not really an expression of hope for him.

In reality, they probably won't pass the ball to this newcomer too often, since their teamwork with him isn't quite there yet.

"We're still fourteen points behind, catching up shouldn't be a problem." But Qin Tian seemed oblivious to the deeper meaning in the other person's words, and simply replied with a nonchalant tone.

These words stunned the other boys, who thought to themselves, "Wow, that's quite a boast!" Just then, the mechanical and electrical engineering team members on the other side shouted, clearly not wanting to give them time to work out their strategies.

"The competition has begun!" The art students cheered each other on.

At the start of the game, the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department gained possession of the ball. A tall boy deliberately dribbled the ball in front of Qin Tian, ​​seemingly wanting to show off his skills.

But Qin Tian remained completely calm. After crossing the center line, he steadily positioned himself in front of the opponent. The boy clearly wanted to show off, making several feints, but Qin Tian seemed to have seen through his tricks, standing motionless.

With a whoosh, as the boy returned to his original position, he suddenly felt his hand lighten, and the ball disappeared instantly, with a figure flashing before his eyes.

Qin Tian, ​​who was originally trying to intercept him, has now successfully stolen the ball, quickly bypassed his opponent, and rushed towards the basket.

"Great shot!" The art students were overjoyed, not expecting Qin Tian to be so amazing, with such incredible reaction speed.

That was an absolutely godlike steal!

"Anran, your boyfriend is amazing!" a girl watching the game couldn't help but exclaim.

"What happened?" The students from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department frowned. The ball was conceded inexplicably and too suddenly; they had no time to get back on defense.

However, just then, Qin Tian stopped not far past the center line, actually preparing to shoot. "Wait!" The art academy team was startled again. This kind of steal should be used to quickly advance to the basket and secure two points before the opponent can recover.

Shooting a three-pointer right past the half line? Even NBA players wouldn't dare do that!
"He doesn't think he can do it again just because he made a shot in the tunnel before, does he?" The students from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department laughed, thinking that the idea was too naive. How could one rely on luck every time?

But soon, everyone's expression changed.

With a whoosh, Qin Tian shot the ball just past the center line, drawing a perfect parabola before it landed steadily in the basket—a clean swish!

"How is this possible?" The students from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Department were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes. The ball had actually gone in!
"It's just luck, I guess?" That was the only way some could console themselves. "Wow! He's so handsome!" The art school girls on the sidelines erupted in cheers. "Anran, your boyfriend is so handsome!"

"He managed to get in like that, that's incredibly cool!"

"You're skilled in medicine, play ball, and are so handsome. Anran, I really envy you."

"Anran, ask your boyfriend if he needs another girlfriend, or if he'd mind having one more?" one girl even joked.

"Dude, that's impressive!" Several boys from the art academy had to admire him. Whether it was the tackle or the goal, it was all done in one smooth motion, leaving them no time to react.

As teammates, they didn't think it was luck. (End of Chapter)
