After Hibernating for 10,000 Years, I Was Exposed on Television - Chapter 12

“100,000 dollars per gram? Do you still want to live?”
Everyone was confused. They could not figure it out.
At 400 dollars per gram, it was worth more than 50 million dollars.
At 1,000 dollars per gram, it was worth more than 100 million dollars.
What about 100,000 dollars per gram for a 1,000-year-old lightning-struck wood?
“Oh my God, what kind of show is this? Is it a show? How can there be such a thing in the world?”
Jaime was so scared that he almost fainted.
No matter how strong his physique was, he could not withstand such a fright.
Did this mean that the value of a basketball pillar was over ten billion?
What kind of concept was this?
Ten billion for a basketball pillar.
There were even two such pillars on the basketball court.
How could such a thing appear in a godforsaken place?
The one who was more excited than everyone else was Master Morey.
He exclaimed, “Oh my God, such a thing really exists in this world.”
Kaki said, “Master Morey, could there be a mistake?”
“How could there be a mistake? Is there any wood that is harder than a diamond?”
The hardness of diamond was recognized as the hardest material in the world.
1,000-year-old lightning-struck ironwood could only be found in an extremely violent environment.
“The lightning strikes the ironwood at the peak of the mountain where the magnetic field is the most violent. It will be struck once every hundred years, and it will not be destroyed for 1,000 years. Think about it, can the value be assessed by its priceless value? If the existence of such wood was found out by some countries, even if it is expensive, they will still buy it to study it.”
Stunned.
Everyone was completely stunned.
The number of people in the live broadcast room continued to rise.
“What happened? There are more than 10 million people online, but not a single person has commented. Did the number of people cost too much? It’s so disgusting. I yearn for the show but is it that bad? They actually faked the number of people online during the live broadcast?”
A small number of fans commented on the public screen, but no one responded.
Everyone was staring at their phones in a daze.
Everyone was stunned as they continued to stare at their screen.
There was no one to reply to.
Master Morey forced himself to calm down and took a deep breath.
After all, they were still recording the show, and everyone was watching.
There was nothing that could be compared to this ironwood basketball pillar.
What star?
What was 2.08 million a day?
What was a few hundred million a day?
They were all rubbish.
After a short period of silence, a heated discussion broke out in the live broadcast room.
“Oh my God, what is this place? Is there really such a magical thing?”
“Oh my God, did Jaime just perform a slam dunk? If he broke the basket…”
“Jaime doesn’t want to die, so he had to look back. No one was paying attention to him, so he went over to take a look.”
“It would be better if he didn’t look. When he saw it, his jaw dropped.”
Lynn was still practicing, so no one paid any attention to him anymore.
He saw poor Jaime.
Master Morey walked up to Jaime to distract him and said, “Jaime, it’s not your fault. You can’t shake 1,000-year-old ironwood that is even harder than diamond. You dunked a few times just now, but the basket didn’t even shake.”
“Hahaha, why do I feel like laughing? I feel so bad for Jaime.”
“Dunking one after another, it’s exciting dunking.”
No matter what, Jaime no longer dared to dunk.
He even had a shadow in his heart when it came to basketball.
“This 1,000-year-old lightning-struck ironwood is extremely valuable, but it is definitely not something that can be shaken by ordinary strength,” said Master Morey.
After hearing the expert’s affirmation, Jaime finally relaxed a little.
“I’m almost done learning. Come and fight with me. What’s the point of a broken wooden basketball pillar anyway?” said Lynn from not very far away.
The camera immediately turned to Lynn.
Everyone came to a realization. They had almost forgotten that Jaime was teaching this rumored old man to play basketball.
Lynn threw the basketball over to Jaime.
Jaime was stunned.
Lynn said, “Aren’t you supposed to throw the basketball at me? Isn’t this the etiquette of basketball?”
“Hahahaha.”
“Jaime was so stunned that he had even forgotten the most basic common sense of playing basketball.”
Jaime’s hands trembled as he threw the ball to Lynn.
The ball almost went off course.
This was simply worse than a rookie who had just started playing basketball.
The audience burst into laughter again.
Lynn held the ball. His posture looked a little clumsy as he bounced the ball a few times.
Was he a complete rookie in basketball?
This time, Jaime could definitely regain some face.
“Face my ass. Can’t you see how old Lynn is? If what the people in the village said was true, Senior Lynn would be at least 150 years old.”
Finally, the basketball match diverted some of the audience’s attention.
Otherwise, the program would not be able to be filmed.
Everyone’s gaze was previously focused on the basketball pillar.
The purpose of the program was to let the stars live a period of idyllic life.
There was currently a trend to show antiques.
Jaime thought that it was finally time for him to perform again.
He beckoned to Lynn and said, “Senior Lynn, come at me and use the skills I’ve taught you.”
Lynn nodded.
Live and learn.
No matter what, he was still a sports star and not just any sports-star!
Lynn paid enough attention to him. He kept approaching Jaime while bouncing the ball.
The audience returned to their original thoughts.
“Ah, he really is a newbie. The rhythm of his bouncing is a little slow.”
“So what if he’s slow? He is an old man. It’s already good that he can move so fast.”
“I guess he must have had some foundation in the past. Otherwise, he would not be able to dribble in such a short time.”
Jaime frowned. Although Lynn dribbled slowly, he was tactful.
He did not look like a person who had just learned a few moves.
At that moment, Lynn was already in front of Jaime.
Jaime was full of confidence. There was too much of a difference in height between him and Lynn.
To Lynn, Jaime was like a small hill.
To Jaime, Lynn was like a mound.
The height difference was definitely an innate advantage that could not be made up for.
It was a fact in everyone’s eyes.
However, suddenly, Lynn accelerated in front of Jaime.
Jaime was shocked, but he did not panic. He flashed to the left and blocked Lynn.
Suddenly, Jaime widened his eyes.
The left side was empty. There was no one there.
He had actually seen his figure wrongly.
The crowd let out a cry of surprise.
This was because they did not see Lynn move quickly either. He just blatantly advanced from Jaime’s right side.
He took advantage of Jaime’s stunned reaction.
One step, two steps, three steps, and the ball went into the basket.
The basketball spun around the hoop twice and just like that, it went in.
Jaime shook his head and asked, “Why did I hallucinate just now?”
He clearly felt that Lynn was charging forward from the left.
Everyone was also amused.
“Jaime, you’re really mischievous. You really have some grace, huh? You can even be defeated like that.”
“Jaime, if you want to stop Lynn, it would be a piece of cake. It’s just that it would lose the show’s effect.”
Even Kaki nodded his head. He felt that Jaime’s way of handling things was very good.
The effect of the program was also very good.
Jaime took the basketball and threw it to Lynn again.
He decided to be a little more serious this time. He had been shocked too much earlier.
He must have hallucinated.
