She is a future star!!
Lukas smiled more widely as he knew she would become a very big Hollywood star in the future.
"So, I am going to leave, take care, and give her what she deserves with the money," Lukas said, although he was very interested in her, but he can't be a dick all of a sudden when her mother just passed away.
" I will do that, Lukas, here, let me write you my number. Do you have a cell phone?" Annie said very casually.
Lukas first was a little flustered but shook his head and said, " No, I plan to buy it tomorrow."
"Alright, when you do call me, we are similar in age, so we can be good friends, I guess,"Annie said with a smile, then gave Lukas her number, she wrote it in a pamphlet with a lipstick.
Lukas took the number and drove his car towards the dorm, he was feeling very relieved as he had done as much as he could for the victim's family, and there was nothing more he could do about it.
[Mission Completed. Grade : A, did a medium-sized charity. Reward: $300,000]
Lukas, seeing the amount, looked again to see if he was seeing it wrong, but after confirming several times that he had seen five zeros after three, he was still shocked.
Then he went back to his dorm and took a shower, then fell asleep, same as usual. The next day he went to jog, then did all his morning exercises, and then looked at the broken clock, and it was 7 in the morning, so he sat on the study table and studied for an hour and a half.
After eating breakfast, he went to classes, and nothing unusual happened until he was returning to his dorm, when suddenly a pop-up came in from the system.
[Ding!! Mission: Play a Baseball Match. Minimum Reward: $10,000]
Seeing the pop-up, Lukas got very tense because this was not in his hands, playing a match was easier said than done.
Lukas went to his dorm, he was constantly thinking how he should play the match, and then he decided to go outside to the field. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw the fat coach running towards him in haste.
" Coach, what happened?" Lukas asked, as he was about to go and search for the coach himself.
"Lukas, I was searching for you, hah…hah," Henry said, while he was panting very much and his words were not coming out as much.
"Alright, calm down, let me grab a glass of water for you," Lukas said, then turned to get a glass of water, but his hand was grabbed tightly by the coach.
"D… Don't, I've already had enough water. Just take this." Henry gave Lukas a black-colored cloth. Lukas, taking the piece of cloth in his hand, looked at the coach with a face full of questions.
"Wear this, go to the field, I have entered your name as a temp player in the college team, please help me out here." Coach Henry requested Lukas to play a match as a temporary player.
"Of course, how can I say no to you?" Lukas smilingly said, as he was about to go find the coach to beg for a chance to play a match.
"T… Thank you, you're a lifesaver," the coach said, then sat on a nearby seat and took a rest, then gestured for Lukas to run along.
"I'll catch up with you later."
Lukas also didn't hesitate because he was getting a whopping ten thousand dollars just for participating, so of course he had to go.
It took Lukas two minutes in his car to reach the field, the whole field was packed with people, and ninety-nine percent of them were just here to watch the match.
Lukas took off his t-shirt and wore the jersey the coach gave him earlier inside his car, and it fit perfectly. Then he went ahead to the dugout, where he saw the people wearing the black color jersey, like him.
" Hey, Coach Henry sent me here to join the team," Lukas said to the person who was filling out some kind of form.
" Lukas? First year? " That person asked with a skeptical face.
" Yes, that's me," Lukas said, then saw that person gesturing him to sit down, Lukas sat down without any questions.
" Rutgers Sucks!!"
" Fuck Rose Colored Jersey."
" Why do they wear red? "
Luaks then heard the audience was pissed at the opposing team for some reason, and the opponents were wearing bright red-colored jerseys.
They were looking chill and very confident, Lukas guessed they were from Rutgers University and maybe were a rival of this university's baseball team.
" Alright, listen up ladies, we lost the last two matches and this time we don't have our best pitcher Jack as well, so I don't think we can win this, the coach is absent as well." The person who was writing the name previously came forward as if he was about to give a motivational speech but said something very disheartening.
At that moment, the coach came in running, he then looked at the seated Lukas and then nodded his head. It took him two minutes to regain his composure, and he took a deep breath.
" Alright, guys, today we have a temporary pitcher. He is a very good pitcher, trust me on this, so our strategy will be playing around him as much as possible." Henry said with full confidence, then the whole dugout looked at Lukas with a weird gaze.
"Lukas, come up," Henry said to Lukas. Lukas then stood up and stood beside him.
" Where are your gloves?" Henry asked, he gifted Lukas a very premium pitching glove.
"In the car, let me grab them." Lukas ran to the car, and that glove was on his passenger seat. Lukas grabbed them and went to the dugout once again.
"Alright, Lukas will be pitching, so you know the drill, we'll play with the same formation as last time. Go, go, go!" Henry said to them as the batter and runners were already coming to the ground.
" Lukas, do the first one very slowly," Henry, grabbing Lukas's hand at the last moment, said.
Lukas, nodding his head, proceeded towards the mound.
