Friday finally arrived, marking the day of the long-awaited practice game between Shizi High and Feng Arts High.
The players from Shizi High got down from Shang's dad's truck, an old beat-up tractor-trailer used to transport vegetables. Fortunately, Yuze allowed the second-string players to accompany them as moral supporters, so Kai excitedly got down from the truck along with his current teammates.
He was in a good mood because his stats had increased during the past week due to his hard work. Now, he was on another level—Advanced Beginner. He didn't have a lot of XP yet; however, he believed that this was another step to fulfilling his wish of becoming a champion.
"Good luck on the game today, son," Shang's dad called, waving goodbye to the team.
Shang smiled at his dad while the other players bowed in gratitude.
"Shang's dad is still the kindest ever," Kun chimed. "He's been driving us to games since Shang was a freshman!"
