The Path of Evolution

Ji Sanbian drove to a stop outside Neverland Manor, looked at the manor whose true appearance was covered by green vegetation with complicated eyes, and then said to Zhao Hao: "We're here, go in by yourself, I'll wait for you here."

When Zhao Hao was about to get out of the car, Ji Sanbian added: "Brother Zhao, force cannot solve everything. If you can, try not to do anything."

"Um."

Zhao Hao hummed vaguely and strode in.

An elegant middle-aged man stood at the door and asked politely: "Are you Mr. Zhao?"

"yes."

Zhao Hao took a closer look at the glasses man and found that he had not even opened the gene lock and was a completely ordinary person.

"My name is Wen Qinghe, and I am the butler of the manor." The glasses man introduced himself, and then said: "Mr. Zhao, our young master is waiting for you, please come with me."

Zhao Hao followed Wenqinghe around a bunch of trees and entered the real Neverland.

It was an eye-opener for him. It was hard to imagine that there was such a luxurious and luxurious manor in the country. It was even worse than the manors left by some of the great nobles in Europe.

Seeing the gardeners coming and going, as well as the plump and thin maids with beautiful flowers and branches, Zhao Hao felt as if he had lived in a dog's body before.

In terms of quality of life, he and Deng Pan were vastly different.

Ever since he entered this manor, Zhao Hao felt like traveling through time and space. Deng Pan lived a life similar to that of an ancient prince. He had everything he wanted in the manor. Zhao Hao himself is too close to the common people. Although he also has a sea-view villa, he has not lived in it for a long time.

Along the way, Zhao Hao realized a class gap.

Because he had lived the life of an ordinary family since he was a child, he was shocked by the scenes before him.

Deng Pan was born on another level and has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

The place where the two met was unusual. It was neither a study nor a living room. Wen Qinghe led Zhao Hao to the small lake in the back garden.

Deng Pan was sitting in the pavilion by the lake, playing with the tea set on the stone table.

Zhao Hao walked over and sat down opposite.

He looked at Deng Pan. If he hadn't come to Xiangcheng this time, he would have forgotten about Deng Pan.

That year, he led the CUHK team to the finals and met a strong opponent, Xiangnan University, which had won two consecutive championships. The opponent's ace player was Deng Pan.

The finals adopted a best-of-three-game system. In the first game, CUHK suffered a disastrous defeat. The score was a shocking 74:95. They were defeated in the first half and were beaten by Shonan University throughout the whole process. By the end of the game, they still could not recover from the defeat. Lost by 21 points. In that game, Deng Pan really taught Xiao Zhao how to behave and violently tortured the freshman.

Fortunately, Zhao Ritian has an indomitable Olympic spirit. After returning home, he studied the game videos and learned from the experience, and performed amazingly in the second game. Zhao Hao's hidden talent, which is stronger than the strong, was fully displayed in the second game, catching Shonan University off guard.

Strictly speaking, in the second game, the opponent underestimated the opponent. On the basketball court, as long as you can beat your opponent by 20 points, it can be called a bloodbath. Having experienced the first bloodbath against its opponents, Shonan University did not take China Overseas University seriously. In the second game, it was too much, and then tragedy struck.

In the end, Zhonghai University successfully counterattacked with a score of 88:85.

In the third final, most people thought that Xiangnan University would become serious, and some were optimistic that Deng Pan would defeat Zhao Hao. The course of the game was surprising. The Zhonghai University team seemed to be cheating and always maintained a weak lead. Zhao Hao even activated his killer character and completely defeated Deng Pan.

On the basketball court, there are two ways to humiliate your opponent.

One is to use superb passing skills to knock down the opponent, causing the opponent to fall to the ground in an inelegant manner. People in the world call it "breaking your knees". There is another way, which is to dunk on top of someone else, jump up high, as if riding on the opponent's head, and use your crotch to push the opponent's head to complete a violent dunk. Anyone who is dunked will become a sad background, played repeatedly on TV screens, and some players will even leave a psychological shadow.

Unfortunately, Deng Pan was in the background twice in that game.

In the first half, he was knocked down once by Zhao Hao's coquettish little skills, and the whole audience was in an uproar. However, Deng Pan also had a strong psychological quality and fought back when he lost. In the second half, the score was 96-96, making it difficult to decide the outcome. At the last second of the second half, he thought Zhao Hao would pull to the outside and shoot a three-pointer, which was a conventional way to win. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ritian didn't take the usual path and suddenly accelerated his breakthrough. Deng Pan didn't even have a chance to draw a foul. He watched Zhao Hao fly high and perform a violent riding dunk, showing off his face.

Meeting Zhao Hao after many years, Deng Pan at the lakeside was instantly moved by the scene as soon as he saw Zhao Hao, and he was also recalling the finals that year.

The first two games were normal. In the first game, Deng Pan successfully beat Zhao Ritian. In the second game, Deng Pan still performed well. However, his teammates overly relied on him and the boat capsized in the gutter.

What was abnormal was the third game.

The first half of this game was relatively normal. After Deng Pan was accidentally knocked down by Zhao Hao, his mentality fluctuated.

Deng Pan had made bold words before the game, saying that he would lead the team to win three consecutive championships and leave this glorious record in school history forever. A person like him is naturally not willing to break his promise and get fat. After all, the feeling of being slapped in the face is uncomfortable. In order to achieve his goal, Deng Pan did not hesitate to use some unconventional means.

During the halftime break, Deng Pan returned to the lounge and secretly took a mysterious pill.

Don't forget that he comes from the genes of creation, and it is too easy to get some illegal drugs.

That little pill is not something to modify genetic warriors. To put it bluntly, it is a stimulant, specially developed for athletes. This kind of thing is no secret for a long time. Although everyone shouts the slogan of fair competition, top athletes from many countries have cases of taking banned drugs, and there are many Olympic champions who have been found to have taken doping.

In college competitions, there are no drug tests, and no one knows if you are doping.

Deng Pan was on drugs in the midfield and was full of confidence, ready to take over the second half of the game.

Fate is very magical, he happened to meet Zhao Hao who was cheating.

Athletes occasionally enter a super state, like cheating, and perform beyond their usual strength. For example, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game. This kind of record is difficult to replicate.

In that game, Zhao Hao didn't perform very well in the first half except for knocking down Deng Pan once, but in the second half, he suddenly broke out.

Deng Pan, who was taking drugs, met Zhao Hao, who was cheating.

Ever since, Deng Pan was tragic.

Even though he was taking banned drugs, he still lost, which became an indelible pain in Deng Pan's heart.

"Long time no see." Deng Pan said hello first, looking quite emotional.

"Yeah, long time no see." Zhao Hao was also quite touched.

Deng Pan's next words were not so polite: "I'm in a hurry, so I won't beat around the bush. Give me the baggage, on your terms."

These words are cruel enough. If Zhao Hao agrees, it will leave a lifelong shadow. Even if Zhao Hao doesn't agree, he will definitely be stimulated.

Zhao Hao seemed very calm: "There is no need to talk about this matter. I came to you today to discuss a deal."

Deng Pan was slightly surprised: "What deal do you want to discuss?"

Zhao Hao smiled: "Your manor is good, why not transfer it to me."

Deng Pan also smiled: "It's not impossible, what price can you offer?"

Zhao Hao stretched out his hand, dug in his trouser pocket, took out a coin, and said weakly: "Is this enough?"
