[Ding!]
After Su Yan finished tallying the accounts, the system's prompt also sounded.
[The host performed a clutch shot, completing the permanent mission: Clutch Shot Gold Rush, Reward: 500,000 USD.]
Clutch Shot Gold Rush can reward money, items, or props, and the reward is random.
This time it was money.
That means: 521,600 + 500,000 = 1,021,600 USD.
In a single game, Su Yan genuinely earned over 1 million USD. If this continues steadily, his annual salary would be over 80 million USD.
Damn... even in 2024, and likely for several years into the future, no player would probably earn such a high annual salary.
Is this the Money-Farming System?
How should I describe it... terrifying!!!
Name: Su Yan.
Level: Lv4.
Upgrade Experience: 2,132,041/5,000,000 (Experience can only be obtained through spending; the amount spent equals the experience gained.)
System Shop: Not yet open.
Props: None.
Mission: [Permanent Mission: Clutch Shot Gold Rush].
Skills: [Max Level Three-Pointer], [Basic Physical Enhancement], [Off-Ball Movement Lv2 (Upgrade: 5 million)], [Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1 (Upgrade: 10 million)], [Spring Man Lv1 (Upgrade: 1 million)], [Spring Man Lv2] (Upgrade: 5 million).
Current Balance: 1.7345 million.
Conjuring the Attribute Panel, Su Yan fell into thought while looking at his balance and experience.
"I currently still need a little less than 3 million experience to upgrade to Lv5, and I have a balance of 1.7345 million.
I still need to spend about 1.3 million.
That's not much.
Wait a few more days, and the New York Knicks will issue my basketball contract salary, which should be around 500,000.
Based on the standard of farming 300,000 to 500,000 per game.
In four games at most, I will have enough money, and as long as I spend it all, I can raise my Money-Farming Level to Lv5.
This is the highest priority.
Also... how should I spend these 3 million? Buy a house? Or buy another car?!
It's not enough to buy a house, but it's more than enough to buy a car.
This money is truly insufficient compared to the best, but more than enough compared to the worst.
Suddenly, I have the feeling that I can't spend all my money. Damn... is this the trouble of being rich?!"
...The next day.
Su Yan's explosive performance last night once again caused major media outlets and newspapers to rush to report it.
The buzz was explosive.
Many people even compared Su Yan's performance with Kobe's performance from the night before last.
Su Yan: 43 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 5 blocks + 10 Three-point Shots + a Pull-up Logo Three-point Shot Clutch Winner.
Kobe: 33 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals + a Pull-up Clutch Winner.
Before last night, countless fans lamented Kobe's greatness, praising him as: "The Born Killer."
After last night.
Such praise came to an abrupt halt.
However... the praise did not disappear; it merely transferred from Kobe to Su Yan.
The performances and clutch winners seemed similar.
Yet, Su Yan was like the "Kobe performance plus" version; his overall offense and defense were completely upgraded, and the difficulty of his clutch shot was at least doubled.
Even without comparison, it was enough to stun the entire arena.
When compared to Kobe, fans straight up called it awesome.
He overshadowed the highlight moment of Kobe, last year's FMVP who is currently challenging to be the number one player in the league.
Wouldn't you say Su Yan is amazing? Precisely because of Su Yan's extremely high-profile performance yet again, the covert competition between Adidas and Nike intensified.
Three days' time.
Now, only today remains.
Previously, Adidas offered 7 years and 120 million, which gave Nike the jitters. Nike thought Adidas was crazy and felt the price couldn't go any higher.
Otherwise.
It would truly become a burden.
Even if Su Yan plays exceptionally well, and the Dragon Country market behind him is huge, a contract currently exceeding 120 million is still too large.
However.
Nike was unwilling to give up.
Given the precedent set by Yao Ming, Nike was determined to compete for the even more outstanding Su Yan.
So, how to raise the price?
If the price doesn't go up, then... shorten the term.
7 years, 120 million, which is 17.14 million USD per year.
Nike decisively raised the annual salary to 20 million, offering a 5-year, 100 million contract.
This was undoubtedly a sky-high price as well.
Nike was also very clever, avoiding mention of the 20 million difference and emphasizing the benefit of a shorter term, which would be more conducive to securing the next, even larger contract.
At the same time.
It repeatedly emphasized that Nike's market was larger and its resources were more abundant.
Augustine understood the logic.
In fact... any offer currently made by Adidas or Nike is already a "sky-high contract" and could be signed.
The key point now is who lets go first.
Augustine understood everything and was reaping the benefits of the rivalry.
When Adidas saw this, they immediately threw out a 5-year, 120 million contract, worth 24 million per year, determined to fight Nike to the end.
Nike was not convinced.
In response, they countered with 4 years and 100 million, 25 million per year, plus a larger market and more resources, which certainly allowed them to challenge Adidas.
At this point... Adidas fell silent.
Did they give up?
No.
They were brewing up a bigger, crazier round of competition... Now back to Su Yan.
Today, he slept until he woke naturally, close to noon, completely unaware of the external news about him or the covert competition between Adidas and Nike.
That's great, Augustine.
Su Yan just wanted to be a hands-off manager.
After waking up... he took a shower and grabbed a few slices of bread to eat. Su Yan found it bland, even somewhat unappetizing.
Where was it unappetizing?!
He had been eating breakfast this way for over a month.
Is it the bread's fault? Did he ever consider looking for his own reason?
It really was.
Su Yan had become a picky eater; he missed Rebecca's cooking.
Picking up his car keys, he drove to Rebecca's house to help her move today, moving into Su Yan's home.
Rebecca's house wasn't large.
Her belongings didn't look like much, but the result was a fully loaded car, barely fitting everything.
"Huh?"
Su Yan was stunned, then laughed in surprise: "Seriously, Rebecca, your house looks small and simple, so how can you have so many things?"
"It's quite surprising."
The movers were also surprised and chuckled: "We're lucky we were careful today and brought a large capacity vehicle.
Otherwise.
We really wouldn't have been able to load it all in one trip."
"Hehe~"
Rebecca lightly covered her mouth and laughed, "That just proves... that I have strong organization skills and don't waste an inch of space."
"Amazing!"
Su Yan gave a thumbs-up, then called out, "If there's nothing else, let's go.
I gave you the address, right?"
"Yes, you did!"
The movers nodded, "You two go ahead and open the door; we'll be right behind you."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. Drive slowly on the way."
"It's no trouble, Mr. Su Yan."
"Okay."
Su Yan gave a final instruction and left with Rebecca.
Twenty minutes later.
The two arrived first.
About fifteen minutes later, the moving company's truck also arrived.
After nearly two hours of unloading, everything was done, and the living room on the first floor of the small villa was packed full.
"Thank you!"
Su Yan looked at the two sweating workers, thanked them, and gave them 500 dollars as a tip.
You should know.
The move itself only cost 150 USD.
Yet, Su Yan gave 500 to each person, a total of 1,000 in tips.
The two were extremely grateful and immediately promised, "If you ever need anything moved in the future, we will definitely come immediately when you call.
Furthermore.
We won't charge a fee!!!"
