Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

The DJ's voice was hoarse from shouting.

Accompanied by his wild roar.

Hundreds of laser searchlights flashed wildly inside the venue, illuminating the entire awards stage as bright as day!

The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands went completely wild.

But even more enthusiastic than them were the professional scouts who came overnight from all over Japan and even from all over the United States on private jets!

"Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way!"

"I'm the lead scout for Duke University in the NCAA, and this is a pre-contract with a full scholarship and a core player status!"

A fat white man was waving his checkbook wildly.

"Get out of my way! Who does Duke think they are!"

"I'm a scout representative for the Chicago Bulls. We've already applied for special approval from management regarding Lin Bei's draft picks!"

"Rukawa Kaede! Number 11! Come to our club! Starting salary of one million US dollars per year!"

"That red-haired rebounding monster! Sakuragi Hanamichi! Our basketball team has him!"

Countless business cards, invitations, and even blank checks rained down on the Shohoku team like snowflakes.

The three-layered human wall formed by the security personnel was almost collapsed by this group of red-eyed scouts!

However, Akagi Takenori, standing in the very center of the podium, couldn't hear any of the noise.

This tough guy, who dreamed of "dominating the whole country," spent countless nights sweating profusely, enduring pain and ridicule for three whole years.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was trembling violently and uncontrollably.

The chairman of the organizing committee stepped forward with a smile.

He solemnly handed the two trophies, representing the highest honor, to Akagi.

In his left hand is the IH National Championship trophy, symbolizing the pinnacle of Japanese high school students!

In his right hand was the Supreme Gold Cup, a special exhibition match that he had just snatched from the Generation of Miracles!

"Shohoku——!!!"

Akagi Takenori tilted his head back, the veins on his neck bulging.

With all the strength he had, he let out a roar!

He exerted his strength and lifted both heavy trophies high above his head at the same time!

"boom--!!!"

As Akagi roared, the twelve giant cannons on the dome of the stadium exploded simultaneously!

In an instant, tens of millions of gold foil and colored paper, like a torrential rain pouring down from the heavens, swept wildly across the entire stadium!

The lights shone on the golden rain, reflecting a dazzling light that was almost blinding.

Golden rain.

It drifted down onto Sakuragi Hanamichi's flamboyant red hair, and into his unrestrained laughter that stretched to his ears.

It landed on Rukawa Kaede's cold and stern face, melting the ice that had remained unmelted in his eyes for years.

It landed on Miyagi Ryota's sparkling earring, and on his proudly raised chin.

The tears that welled up in Mitsui Hisashi's eyes washed away all the humiliation and resentment of those two wasted years!

This golden storm is flying everywhere.

It is the embodiment of their youthful passion, earned with their blood and sweat!

"We are the champions!!!"

The entire Shohoku team hugged each other tightly.

They cried and laughed wildly in the golden rain.

Just as this emotion was about to burst through the roof of the venue at its peak.

A crisp mechanical notification suddenly echoed from the depths of Lin Bei's mind!

【Ding! 】

[Host detected successfully altered the world line, shattering the dimensional barrier!]

The ultimate hidden mission has been completed!

A new life trajectory has emerged.

The system is now entering a hibernation and upgrade phase. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

The system's voice had just finished.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of propellers came from outside the venue!

"Rumble, rumble—"

A strong wind rushed in through the open stadium doors, blowing golden rain all over the sky!

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

"Thunder on a sunny day?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi was so startled that he grabbed Akagi's leg.

Everyone turned around in shock.

All that could be seen was the plaza outside the venue.

Five luxuriously painted heavy-duty private helicopters, bearing the gold-stamped "Lin Group" emblem, slowly landed!

Dozens of top-notch bodyguards, dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, filed out in unison.

They forcefully carved out a wide passage through the encirclement of frenzied fans and reporters!

An elderly butler in a tuxedo, with gray hair that was meticulously combed, strode up to Lin Bei.

Under the stunned gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

The old butler bowed very respectfully, completing a standard ninety-degree bow.

The sound, amplified by a portable loudspeaker, completely drowned out the roar of the helicopter.

"Young Master! The one-year period has come to an end!"

"Sir, your basketball game is over!"

"The helicopter is ready. Please board immediately to return home and inherit the trillion-dollar Lin family conglomerate!"

The audience was silent.

The entire Shohoku basketball team.

Everyone was stunned by this exaggerated spectacle, reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster!

"Master, Master, Master?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his finger trembled as he pointed at the helicopter formation outside.

"You...you even have a helicopter at home?!"

A trillion-dollar conglomerate?!

Rukawa Kaede also widened his dead fish eyes, a rare occurrence, and his lips twitched slightly, clearly his worldview had been greatly shaken.

Mitsui Hisashi rubbed his eyes dramatically, as if he were hallucinating.

On one side is a formation of helicopters leading to the world's top billionaires, symbolizing endless wealth and power.

On the other side was a group of poor students wearing tattered, soaking wet jerseys and reeking of sweat.

This is a single-choice question that doesn't even need to be considered.

The old butler smiled confidently, waiting for the young master to board the plane.

However, Lin Bei stood still, looking at the helicopter whose cabin door had been opened specifically for him.

He suddenly lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Then, a soft laugh escaped his throat, growing louder and louder.

"Hahahaha—!"

"Go back and tell the old man."

"I won't eat this flatbread!"

Lin Bei suddenly raised his head.

He wrapped his arm around Sakuragi Hanamichi's neck, who was still in a daze, and with his other hand, he naturally put his arm around Rukawa Kaede's shoulder.

"Young...Young Master?!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"This is a trillion-dollar conglomerate!" The old butler's composure crumbled instantly, and he stamped his feet in frustration.

"Trillion?"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Even if it meant exchanging all the wealth in the world."

"And don't even think about buying out my passionate youth!"

Lin Bei waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

He turned and left the massive helicopter formation with an extremely dashing silhouette.

He embraced his teammates and strode towards the bus.

"Let's go, gorilla!"

"If we win today, you're buying me ramen! I want double the char siu!"

"No, I'm going to eat you out of house and home! Five more servings!"

Lin Bei shouted at Akagi, who was still standing there in a daze.

"What gorilla?!"

"You disrespectful first-grader!"

"Call him the captain!"

Akagi Takenori suddenly came to his senses.

Although he was roaring angrily.

But he couldn't suppress the wide grin that stretched all the way to his ears.

"Waaaaaah!"

"Master, I'll have five servings of char siu too!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi immediately perked up and followed after them, yelling excitedly.

"You big idiot."

Rukawa Kaede gave him a cold, sidelong glance.

"Eating that much will only turn you into a pig that only knows how to grab rebounds."

"What did you say?!"

"You stinky fox! Do you want to fight?!" Sakuragi immediately bristled and headbutted him.

"Come on, you big idiot."

"Hey! You two bastards, don't cause trouble for me on a day like today!" Miyagi Ryota and Mitsui Hisashi rushed over to break up the fight.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass dome of the venue onto the group of teenagers.

Their shadows, stretching long as they walked side by side, playfully bickering, were drawn out.

At least for now, on this evening bathed in golden rain.

This bowl of tonkotsu ramen is filled with laughter and sweat.

This is a pure bond that transcends all money and power.

These are the most priceless memories of their youth.
