After Zhang Hao said these words, the subtitles in front of his eyes changed again, a prompt appeared, and a cold, robot-like electronic voice echoed in his mind...
"Ding... Basketball Dominator System is activating..."
"Basketball Dominator System activated, host's goal is to become a Basketball Dominator, leading his players to conquer the world of basketball."
"What does this mean?" Zhang Hao didn't quite react at first.
Mainly because he never expected this golden finger to be about this aspect, becoming a dominator in the basketball world. To him, that meant being like Jordan, Demon Bird, or Russell, but he didn't expect it was asking him to become a coach!
"Leading his players to conquer the basketball world? Leading players? Isn't this what a coach does? They want me to become a coach? I'm only 19, how can I be a coach? Do I need to go to a sports university to become the best coach in the world? That's also a way out... But hell, I only have a year to live! How can I finish four years of college and become a head coach?"
Zhang Hao thought of those universities unwilling to give him a chance, the obstacles everywhere, and had already considered giving up basketball, returning home to go to college, taking a normal job, or selling fish.
But now he was different, with memories of the future, let alone the future perspective as the main guide, and the most crucial point, he only had a year to live... He had to accomplish some things to prolong his life.
The golden finger must provide some help, otherwise, just stay indifferent, live happily for a year with a future-oriented mindset, having experienced two years lying on a hospital bed waiting to die, living energetically for a year wouldn't be too bad.
At this moment, the subtitles subtly changed...
"The host's basketball career is about to begin, start mission: become a head coach of a team or form your own team, sign a player."
"They're really asking me to be a coach? But how can I be a coach now? Even elementary school teams wouldn't hire me! With my age and ability, where can I coach? Build a team? Where would I get the money?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but rant crazily, almost turning into Pierce, because there was no cheat for him! Just tasks given, likely with rewards upon completion, but he didn't have the means to complete them!
To become a basketball coach through university, the colleges in the world's strongest basketball country, the United States, would definitely be the best choice, but he couldn't live until college graduation!
The deadlock emerged again!
Suddenly, Zhang Hao had a flash of inspiration, a magical thought popped up, making his heart pound!
Unsure how to communicate, Zhang Hao tentatively asked in his mind, "Can I sign myself? I'll form my own team, let's call it... hmm, Ritian Gang! Sign myself!"
After asking this question, the initially faint subtitles began to distort, then tremble, and finally even... scrambled! It startled Zhang Hao!
Did I break the golden finger?
Wait, does that mean not just a year left to live?
Just as this thought popped up, Zhang Hao saw the "Remaining Life" indicator on the top right of the screen, it stayed the same even with the scrambled screen, this was all threatening to drag him to hell with it!
After a while, the subtitles finally returned to normal and new words appeared.
"Host establishes team: Ritian Gang, about to sign Zhang Hao as the first contracted player and become his personal coach, confirm?"
It really worked!
Zhang Hao didn't know what signing would do, but he decided to sign first and said quickly, "Confirm."
"Ding... Host has successfully signed player: Zhang Hao, due to host assisting the system in finding a loophole, receive a special reward: Growth Card: Mid-range Jump Training Enhancement Card (Top-notch)."
