Chapter Eighteen: Task System
On December 25, Wake Forest University became unusually quiet. Christmas is like the Chinese New Year in the United States and is a statutory holiday. The NCAA is no exception. After Wake Forest defeated Duke University 98-70 at home on December 23, the entire Demon Deacons team also welcomed the Christmas holiday.
North Carolina is located in the subtropical climate zone, with a climate similar to that of southern China. The temperature has also been getting lower and lower at this time. Zhuang Fei was leisurely brewing a pot of coffee in his apartment, preparing to watch the Christmas War that was about to begin.
However, before that, Zhuang Fei reopened the Wang Dynasty system. The Wang Dynasty system changed again after defeating Duke University two days ago.
"I didn't expect that after defeating Duke University, my level rose to 5th grade, and the system was updated again. It seems that the system's update and level are linked.
As of December 23rd, Vickson Forest has played a total of 14 games, sweeping all teams in the ACC league. With 14 consecutive victories, Vickson Forest is the only undefeated team in all NCAA leagues. The surprising performance brought huge benefits to Zhuang Fei.
With 14 wins, each win worth 20 points, that's a total of 280 points. And with 14 consecutive wins, each consecutive win worth 10 points (no bonus for preseason games), so Zhuang Fei got a total of 420 points in the past month and a half. Adding to his previous 190 points, he now has a total of 610 points."
"This dynasty has too many points and doesn't know how to spend them, it seems like the only use is to go and do ball exploration, looks like the level is still too low, other functions of the dynasty system have not been opened yet." Zhuang Fei sighed.
However, the task system that has just been opened in the imperial system is quite interesting. Zhuang Fei clicked on the "Task" column, and then two options popped up immediately: "Daily Task" and "Main Line Task".
"What's going on with this Ma Buri, I didn't even provoke him!" Zhuang Fei opened the daily task list, and on the task board was written "Ma Buri's resentment"
Daily Quest: Malice in Maraudon (Medium)
Task level: B+
Task Description: MaBri harbors deep resentment towards the host, shaking heaven and earth. Every time MaBri encounters the team where the host is located, all attribute points +2, that is to say, the first time +2, the second time +4, the third time +6, and so on. The task will continue until MaBri leaves NCAA. It requires the team where the host is located to maintain a perfect winning record when facing MaBri.
Reward for completing task: Unknown, Punishment for uncompleted task: Unknown.
"Damn it," Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh, isn't it just letting Deng Ken cover you a few more times? How can you not come up with this? This is a full +2 attribute, and in the regular season, we still have to face Marbury four times. Now there are three more times, which means that by the last game of the regular season, Marbury's attributes will be +8. This is just too ridiculous! If we meet again in the playoffs or the national championship, it'll be a real tragedy. Zhuang Fei can only shake his head helplessly now.
"This mainline task seems not too difficult" Zhuang Fei closed the daily tasks and opened the mainline tasks.
Main Quest: The Rise of Vicksen Forest
Task level: A-
Lead Vicksburg University to win the NCAA championship, no time limit.
Reward for completing tasks: Unknown, Penalty for uncompleted tasks: Unknown.
"Why is the difficulty level of this task so high? Winning an NCAA championship shouldn't be that hard, right? According to the dynasty system's ranking, the highest level should be A+, and this A- level is definitely a top-notch difficult task. But somehow I feel like Marbury's difficulty was even higher.
If other teams' coaches heard what Zhuang Fei said, they'd probably find a block of tofu to knock themselves out with - an NCAA championship isn't hard? For Zhuang Fei, it's indeed easier, after all, his team's strength far surpasses that of other teams, especially after this one and a half months, the players' abilities at Vicksburg University have been upgraded once again."

The fact is that the game can bring great improvement to these young people, especially the freshmen in their first year. Their growth rate is extremely fast. In this wave of 14 consecutive victories, all the players have shown excellent potential and are progressing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. This has also led to significant changes in the Vicksburg team's report.
Team Name: Vicksburg Forest Devils
Team size: 12 people
Team Shooting Percentage: 71
Team Attacking Ability: 78
Team Defensive Ability: 80
Team Physical Gifts: 76
Team Chemistry: 45

Dynasty Team Report: The Vicksburg Devils are a fringe playoff team in the Lottery District, with some star players and great competitiveness. However, the head coach's ability has hindered the team's improvement. There aren't any glaring weaknesses on this team, which is filled with determined and ambitious players. Additionally, the Vicksburg Devils have the potential to become a dynasty team.
This team report has changed not only in ability value, but also in coach bonus. From now on, the coach bonus seems to be related to Zhuang Fei's level, and secondly, it is the team report that has changed from "a lottery district team hovering on the edge of the playoffs" to "a playoff team hovering on the edge of the lottery district". Although it is just a swap of a few words, the meaning is completely different. Moreover, this report no longer criticizes the head coach while also blaming the team's cohesion. In some sense, the cohesion level of the Vicksen Lin team has been systematically recognized, and at least it is no longer dragging its feet. Now the only one who is estimated to be dragging his feet is Zhuang Fei, the head coach.
Compared to the team that played against Wake Forest before, this team has made a qualitative leap in terms of ability, cohesion and coaching. Otherwise, they would not be able to sweep all sides in the ACC league.
Zhuang Fei turned off the dynasty system, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, then let out a gentle sigh, muttering to himself: "Now the team has paved the way, a very bright road, as long as we keep going, we will definitely succeed. If leading such a team still can't win the championship, then I'm really a pig."
But thinking of the strange task in Mabri, Zhuang Fei started to worry again. Since Mabri has a grudge, others will naturally have a grudge too. What if their attributes increase more than Mabri's later on? The grudge of Mabri is only intermediate, and there must be advanced ones later on. This matter is not simple, and it's still necessary to proceed with caution. Zhuang Fei nodded secretly, earlier he was a bit too optimistic.
Just as Zhuang Fei was blaming himself, the TV in front of him had already started playing "The Christmas War".
This year's Christmas Wars had two games, one was the Magic home against the Rockets, and the other was the Suns home against the Spurs. Both were focus battles. The Magic and Rockets are old enemies, O'Neal is the bitter master of McGrady, O'Neal is the scoring king of last season, McGrady is the overall champion, one is a rising new giant star, and the other is an old giant star at its peak. The two men's battle was also highly anticipated by the whole country. In the end, the Magic relied on O'Neal's 22 points and 18 rebounds, as well as Hardaway's 22 points and 10 assists to defeat the Rockets 92-90. In another game, David Robinson and Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson led the Spurs to a away victory over the Suns led by Barkley and Michael Finley. This season, young general Johnson performed extremely well, at the peak of his career, with three star players, the Spurs' performance this season was also excellent.
After watching these two great games, Zhuang Fei quickly found the shortcomings of Villanova. The defensive intensity of NCAA and NBA top teams cannot be compared, and the overall strength of NCAA players and NBA teams also cannot be compared. Villanova can play so high in NCAA, but it may not be the case in NBA. And the reason why Villanova can play so high is closely related to Duncan. Duncan's dominance in NCAA was too strong, just like O'Neal in Lakers' three consecutive championships, unstoppable. However, if Duncan were to enter the NBA now and face Olajuwon, David Robinson, and O'Neal, these three great centers, he would likely be at a disadvantage.
This also stirred up Zhuang Fei's competitive spirit, and he suddenly had an urge to challenge the top NBA teams. If he led this team of Vickson Forest to challenge the Rockets, Magic, or Spurs, what would happen? Would they win, or would they be beaten so badly that they'd cry? For a moment, Zhuang Fei was overwhelmed with emotions. If other NCAA head coaches knew what Zhuang Fei was thinking right now, they'd probably all laugh.
This is also the first time Zhuang Fei has yearned for the NBA so much since his rebirth.
When can this wish be fulfilled? Zhuang Fei himself shook his head and finally smiled.
This is simply absurd. But is it really absurd?
