I Was Only a Practice Partner, Yet I Became World Champion

I'm in college and just landed a cushy job as a practice player for the women's basketball team. I was ready to lie flat and coast through life.

Then I awakened a System. Other Systems say, "Fail to complete your missions and you'll be erased." Mine says, "Please, whatever you do, don't work hard."

[Ding! The Host has been detected training for basketball. Choose an option:]

[A: Dominate the court with a jaw-dropping, forceful poster dunk and make the women's team scream. Reward: Permanent +1 to physical ability]

[B: Pretend to run out of energy and stumble, then toss the ball into a trash can three meters away and ask to clock out early. Reward: One "Perfect Touch" trial card, good for 10 minutes]

Was there even a choice?

I, Jiang Fang, a veteran master of playing it safe, chose B on the spot. As a seasoned keyboard warrior, my life motto is: If you can settle something with your fists, don't waste time arguing; if you can lie down, don't bother getting up.

Then, to the shock of everyone watching, the basketball I tossed toward the trash can bounced bizarrely three times on its rim, tracing a rainbow arc that defied all human understanding...

Swish! Nothing but net. Yes, the net on the basket next to it. The whole gym fell silent.

The women's team captain looked at me as if I were a god. The coach rushed over and grabbed my hand, practically delirious. Only a beautiful reporter who had just arrived to conduct an interview held up her camera, her eyes gleaming behind the lens with a look that said, "I've got you." I stared at the "Perfect Touch" trial card slowly appearing on the System screen and cried. I just wanted to clock out on time! How did things end up like this?
