Spring Man Lv3 and Invigorating Armor Lv1, both require 50 million US dollars to upgrade further, which is indeed a bit too expensive.
Off-Ball Movement Lv2, however, only needs 5 million to upgrade.
But... compared to Off-Ball Movement Lv2, Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1 is more cost-effective.
The upgrade requires 10 million.
Coincidentally... he now has over 9.5 million, and after just one more game, he will definitely earn enough for 10 million.
At that time, he can upgrade Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1 and also raise his consumption level to Lv6, killing two birds with one stone.
This is the most perfect.
Currently, Su Yan's bench press is 180 kilograms, only 10 kilograms less than LeBron, which is considered very strong in the entire league.
However.
Compared to the top power players, there is still a gap.
Moreover... Su Yan is only a Small Forward, and his physique inherently differs from Power Forwards and Centers.
With the same bench press, Su Yan still can't contend with larger, heavier Power Forwards and Centers.
How to compensate?
Naturally... by further strengthening his own power.
Upgrading Steel Tendons and Iron Bones Lv1 to Lv2 will definitely elevate his strength by a notch.
That will make his confrontation stronger.
His offensive and defensive capabilities will also further improve.
Crucially... he will also receive the Lv6 Privilege Pack, which will most likely grant him new abilities.
His strength will advance once again.
"Excellent!"
Thinking of this, Su Yan felt a little excited.
He was already eager to play another game and then start consuming for upgrades!!!
...The New York Knicks had no game today.
However... the players still came to the gym to train as usual; this was the enthusiasm of a 23-game winning streak.
During afternoon training.
Mengmeng called.
"dear, there's a university anniversary event tonight. Can you pick me up after it ends?!"
"Okay."
"Yay, the event ends around 10 PM. As a reward, I'll give you a surprise tonight."
"Then I'll look forward to it."
"…"
Beep beep beep~
The call ended.
Immediately after... another call came in from an unknown number. Su Yan hung up directly.
Assuming it was a spam call.
But as soon as he hung up, the phone rang again.
Calling continuously?
Then it's probably not a spam call.
Su Yan hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Su Yan? I'm Salena!"
It was Salena.
Su Yan really didn't expect it.
He had even hung up on her.
If this got out, who knows how many men would go crazy with anger.
"Ah~ it's you. It's really been a long time since we last spoke."
Su Yan smiled.
The last time they met was during the Murderous Maniac incident on Colonel Commercial Street.
"Yes, I've been busy recently."
"I see. Are you feeling better? You must have come out of the shadow of that incident, right?"
"I have, thank you, Su Yan. So... I called today to ask if you're free.
I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight.
To repay my savior!"
"What time?"
Su Yan asked the crucial question.
If it was too late, it wouldn't work; he had to pick up Mengmeng before 10 PM.
"Six o'clock?! Location: Times Square."
"No problem."
"Then I'll see you then."
"Okay."
Beep beep beep~
Su Yan sighed, "First Rebecca, then Salena, and now Mengmeng.
A bit busy!"
4:30 PM.
Su Yan finished training early and sent a message to Rebecca, telling her he wouldn't be back tonight.
The reason?
Su Yan told the truth: he was going to have dinner with Salena first, then pick up Mengmeng later.
Rebecca didn't mind.
The biggest harm to Rebecca would be lies, so telling the truth was the ultimate move.
6 PM.
Times Square.
Su Yan was ready for the date. Salena was wearing a beige knit top and a black skirt today.
A very simple outfit.
But on Salena, it was full of curves.
Especially the square neckline design of the knit top, which perfectly revealed her charming shoulders and collarbones, instantly creating a three-dimensional look.
The skirt perfectly showcased her graceful figure.
Long golden wavy hair, paired with an angelic face and a devilish figure, exuded charm and sexiness.
Salena was not tall, only 160 centimeters, and even with high heels, she could barely reach 170 centimeters.
But her body proportions were excellent, and her figure was incredibly hot.
If there was a ranking for 'bust size'.
Mengmeng would be third, Rebecca second, and Salena definitely first.
"Goddess of Otaku," "Natural Charmer"—these terms perfectly described Salena.
She was indeed sexy, indeed irresistible.
Previously in the cafeteria, there were many acquaintances, and last time on Colonel Commercial Street, the situation was urgent.
Afterward at the hotel, there was no mood for romance.
Only tonight, Su Yan could properly admire Salena's angelic face and devilish figure.
"What's wrong, are you smitten?!"
Seeing Su Yan look a little lost, Salena couldn't help but smile charmingly and tease him.
"I can't help it!"
Su Yan shrugged and smiled, "Miss Salena, you indeed have a face that makes people want to commit a crime."
"Then try it."
Salena teased further.
She said she was treating her savior to dinner, but in reality... she was aiming to win Su Yan over.
Otherwise.
Why would a "femme fatale" of her caliber actively invite a man to dinner?
Of course.
Su Yan was excellent enough, so excellent that after gaining the additional label of "savior," Salena couldn't help but fall for him.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Su Yan waved his hand, only hearing the playful tone in Salena's words, and then rubbed his stomach, "Let's go eat, my stomach is already rumbling."
"Alright, let's eat first."
First?
Was there more to come?
Su Yan was a bit suspicious.
The two walked into the mall. At the entrance of the mall, there was a newsstand. Su Yan just glanced at it, not intending to slow down.
However.
One image was too striking.
It was a picture of Su Yan dunking over the german war machine, Dirk Nowitzki.
What was even more eye-catching was... this image was on the cover of SLAM magazine, and it was a monthly issue.
What does that mean?
SLAM magazine is currently the most popular sports illustrated magazine in the United States. Only prominent players in the league can appear in the magazine.
Among them, at least a team's core player or an all-star level player is qualified to have a weekly cover.
As for the monthly cover.
It's even more difficult.
Only superstars like LeBron, Kobe, Duncan, and the peak four great shooting guards are qualified to grace the cover.
Even Yao Ming, despite his strength, has never once appeared on the cover of SLAM magazine's monthly issue in his career.
Now... Su Yan has been selected.
This makes him the first Dragon Country player to appear on the monthly cover of SLAM magazine!!!
