Chapter 1 I am a genius
"Levi?"
"Please wait a moment, the principal is on the phone and will be able to receive you soon."
The black secretary sitting behind the dark brown desk showed a businesslike smile, and without waiting for Levi's response, he lowered his head and continued working.
Levi was not surprised. After all, he was not here to receive an award——
Although it is not a lecture, today's meeting is indeed about solutions.
Exactly ten days ago, Levi traveled through time, from China in 2023 to... Tuscaloosa in 2016. He spent a lot of effort but still couldn't figure out the exact location of this city on the North American continent.
At that time, before I had time to realize what was going on after traveling through time, I had no idea who I was or where I was. I heard the cry for help of "robbery and robbery" in my ears. I caught a figure passing by with my peripheral vision and subconsciously reacted. , Levi’s reaction nerves from practicing cross-country running hard have already responded.
With one kick, he caught up with the robber——
A pounce.
Li Wei swore that he really just swatted it lightly, like swatting a fly. He didn't expect that the robber's arm was like a dead branch without moisture in autumn——
There was a "bang" sound and it broke.
Surprisingly, it broke...it broke just like that.
Afterwards, Levi found out that the body he traveled through was a mixed martial arts practitioner. Not only was he one size larger in height and weight, but his strength was also completely different. He had just traveled through time and was not able to fully control his body. He accidentally exerted too much force, and then ...that's how things turned out.
But at that time, standing in front of the library of the University of Alabama, Levi looked at the small body lying on the ground wailing and rolling like Loki who had been beaten by the Hulk, and he was puzzled.
Even he himself is like this, not to mention the crowds of people who come in and out of the library.
Then, an M-shaped bald old man who had been sunburned by sunbathing rushed out and grabbed Li Wei, with an expression on his face that said, "I'm amazed at your bones and your excellent bones. You are a rare talent." He seemed to be ready in the next second. As if he were stuffing martial arts secrets into Li Wei's arms, he extended the invitation warmly——
Sincerely invite Levi to join the school football team.
It took Levi a while to understand that the football called here was not the soccer he was familiar with.
This is a brand-new sport, known as the first sport in North America. The famous Super Bowl is the highest honor of professional football events.
Shi refused.
Whether it was rugby or soccer, Levi, who practiced cross-country running, had nothing to do with it. He knew nothing about those ball sports and had no interest in them.
Originally, Li Wei thought that when things ended here, he should digest the fact that he had traveled through time and seriously think about ways to make a fortune——
In 2016, there is not much time left before 2023, the year of his life. He has missed countless opportunities to make a fortune, and his advantage in time travel is only a little. So how should he open up the situation?
At first, I thought time travel would be pie in the sky, but then I thought about it and found that time travel seemed to be a test of fate.
I never expected that there would be sequels!
The robber filed a lawsuit against the University of Alabama and Levi, believing that he was injured as a result of excessive violent treatment within the jurisdiction of the University of Alabama. He requested not only medical compensation, but also mental damages.
A sharp turn, the story develops in another direction.
Just when Levi was worried about how to solve the legal lawsuit issue because he was unfamiliar with the place, the University of Alabama expressed its willingness to help:
If Levi is willing to join the school football team, then the school can come forward with the lawsuit. solve.
So, today’s meeting happened——
Discuss specific matters.
Moreover, there was another key reason that prompted Levi to agree to the meeting.
A system that appears in one's brain along with time travel, the "rugby training system". Obviously, this is a side benefit of time travel.
Football, football again!
Li Wei tried to open the system and test it to see what was going on with the system before deciding on the direction of future development; the system only had one prompt:
“You can activate the system and gain newbies by joining any rugby team. Big gift package”.
The thought of prostitution for nothing is immediately eliminated.
Then Levi used the Internet to research the University of Alabama.
This is a legendary football school and the defending champion of this year's National Championship. In the past ten years, it has undoubtedly been a dominant player in the NCAA.
Receiving a different look from the coach of such a famous rugby school, coupled with the existence of the system, made Levi couldn't help but think:
Could it be that... he is really a rugby genius?
Maybe the key to traveling through life and reaching the top lies in football?
After serious consideration, Levi thought he should give rugby a chance.
So, he appeared here.
After waiting for a while, the principal was still on the phone, and another key figure appeared.
The dress of the shirt and trousers does not look upright and chic at all. Instead, one can see the folds of the clothes, the face is red, the ears are flushed, and the head is sweating. The belly is as round as a watermelon, and the buttons of the shirt are struggling to cry for help. It seems that it is ready to be launched. The preparation can easily steal the attention, and the eyes seem to be in the wrong position.
Here, Levi was worried about the collapse of the shaky and pitiful button.
On the other side, Burton-Burns showed a satisfied expression and looked at Levi carefully up and down again.
This is indeed a good idea. He looks gentle and elegant in appearance, with straight eyebrows and clear eyes. The clear and bright look between his eyebrows is like the sunlight falling on the plane trees in the early morning in early summer. He looks harmless to humans and animals. His loose and comfortable clothes completely cover his body and also He's just taller and straighter, nothing special.
But he still couldn't escape Burns's sly eyes.
Specific body data need to be measured accurately, but visual inspection is already very satisfactory:
About 6.1 feet (185 cm), 216 pounds (98 kg).
Maybe in the eyes of others, it is a little taller and a little lighter, but in the eyes of professionals, it is different.
Just right.
When he caught the robber that day, Levi's explosive power and ability to change direction were absolutely top-notch. His body was fully prepared and ready to go.
Of course, the technical moves of grappling still need to be broken, otherwise the robber will not break his bones. But that's not a problem.
Burns was surprised.
This Chinese teenager was born for rugby, but they actually missed such a good prospect. He could already see his heroic appearance flying on the field. After going back, he investigated the young man's information——
Born in November 1995, I am a sophomore this year. I have been practicing mixed martial arts since I was a child. I have never practiced rugby. When I applied for school, I completely escaped the radar of all the famous rugby schools. However, my school performance is excellent and I am a straight A student. Start an internship and consider it for the future.
If you think about it seriously, it's not surprising.
The promotion and popularization of rugby among the Chinese-American community is still far from enough.
Moreover, it is not just rugby, but all competitive sports are the same, that is, it is a job that requires talent and ability and strives for one ten thousandth. Chinese parents still believe more in a stable job from 9 to 5 and being down-to-earth. Create life diligently with your hands.
The Levi in front of him was like a piece of rough jade, which would shine with a little polishing. Burns believed in his own vision, and he could no longer contain his excitement.
puff.
Burns rubbed his hands and sat down opposite Levi. He could clearly hear the groan of the chair. It seemed that it might fall apart at any time. The soft belly fat was piling up. Then he showed a bright smile, as if The weird uncle waving a lollipop.
"V-Lee?"
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he could tell that this uncle had done his homework.
Because the pronunciation of Levi's name is very close to "Levi", it has always been difficult for students and friends around him to call him by his name accurately. It would be easy to call him "Lee", but it would kill them to call him "Wei". Say "Wayne" or some other weird pronunciation.
For the generation of Asian immigrants born after 1995, the most special thing is that the school encourages students to use their original names. There is no need to give special English names, and to preserve their own cultural traditions as much as possible——
Wei, that is "Wei".
Originally, Levi also had an English name, but he stopped using it after elementary school. Instead, his friends gradually got used to calling him by his full name. Over time, it became impossible to distinguish between his first and last name.
Burns, however, knew the difference.
The pronunciation was a bit awkward, but he did distinguish Levi's first and last name clearly.
This is a little surprise.
After receiving Levi's affirmative response, Burns showed a big smile, like Maitreya Buddha, "We may have had some misunderstandings last time we met. The whole situation was too hasty. Today we will overturn it and start over."
"Let me introduce myself first."
"Burton Burns is the assistant head coach of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. I have been here for ten years and I believe I will continue to work here."
"I love rugby!"
As he spoke, Burns couldn't control himself and became very happy. It could be seen that he had indeed dedicated all his passion to football.
"I'm serious. I believe you have outstanding talent and were born for rugby. With your height and weight, your instant start-up ability, acceleration ability and change of direction ability, you can shine on the rugby field."
"Your control over your body and your ability to predict your opponent's running route are hidden talents, talents that you can't see but can change the game. I noticed that you used to practice mixed martial arts, but obviously you can't show it in mixed martial arts. Only rugby can unleash your talents."
"You are a genius."
"Trust me, you're a natural running back."
Wait, there's a brand new term here.
If you don't understand, just ask. Levi looked at Burns, "Running-back, what is that? Defending in the backfield?"
Burns: ...the smile gradually stiffened.
