Lukas Gets a Little Shocked.

Lukas, hearing the coach, looked at him with a very, very weird gaze because he was very confused at the coach's intentions.

"Don't misunderstand, I am not telling you to join the college team, Lukas. You have a natural pitcher physique or maybe something better, a natural baseball physique. I'll test your batting next time when there are no eyes or fewer eyes around," Coach said smilingly. The drive was short, they reached the Nassau Inn shortly.

Lukas got out of the car and walked with Coach inside the inn, the seats in the inn at this time were mostly vacant.

The coach chose a comfortable corner table and gestured for Lukas to sit there, Lukas, nodding his head, sat down.

"Listen here, boy, you have far more potential than you can even think. I can guess by your 'I am not interested face' that you don't even know what kind of talent you possess, so let me clarify it for you. " The coach said then he put his jacket behind the chair he was about to sit in, and Lukas now looked very much interested in hearing what this fat man had to say.

"Sir, may I take your order, please? " A Black woman came, her face looked like she was tired and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Yes, two New England clam chowders, two roasted beef sandwiches, and one big cola. What would you have, Lukas? " Henry directly ordered for himself and looked at Lukas.

No wonder he's this fat.

"One beef sandwich and a bottle of mineral water, please, " Lukas said, he was actually shocked by this coach's food habit.

"Alright, so as I was saying, my brother-in-law is the manager of a team called Trenton Thunder, which is a Double-A affiliate, " Coach said excitedly, but Lukas looked as if he didn't understand a shit.

"Okay, let me say it like this, you'll get a huge amount of money for playing for them, like, let's say the signing amount should be around $50,000. " The coach said then the waiter brought a huge tray full of dishes, the coach stood up to help her out.

Lukas, on the other hand, was shocked to hear fifty thousand dollars, was he really that talented? He had his doubts because he had never played this game before, nor was he interested in it, but he was interested in money.

After helping the waitress, Coach gave Lukas a huge sandwich and a bottle of water, then took a big bite from his roasted sandwich as if he couldn't wait to taste it.

"Sorry, I can't control myself when I see food, so as I was saying, you can get about 50k in contract signing and maybe 7-8k as a salary per season. What do you say, champ? " The coach said then in just two to three bites he finished the whole sandwich, then took a sip from the cola.

Lukas almost lost his concentration from the money part because of such a display of savage eating, he had never seen such an act of eating before. Seeing this, his hunger almost died.

"So what do you say? Want to go with me to give a trial? " Coach asked with a smile.

Lukas gestured for the waitress first and told her to pack his food, after she left with his food, he nodded his head to the coach and said, "If what you are saying is true, then why not? Is that team far? "

"Not that far. It's in Trenton. Are you in a hurry?" Coach asked as Lukas already packed his meal to take it home.

"Yes, I've some work to do, so I am interested in your proposition, but what do you get from it? " Lukas asked because no one does anything for free.

"I'll be honest with you, my brother-in-law told me if I refer an exceptional talent, I get ten percent of whatever signing money that talent gets from the team and twenty percent of the salary of that talent for two seasons straight, so it's a win-win deal, the coach explained his position clearly.

Lukas nodded his head in understanding, then the waitress brought the packed meal to him, and Lukas took it and said to the coach, "I am interested, the campus shuttle is here, so I am going to go for today. Like you, I can't control myself when I hear money. " Lukas winked at the coach and then left the Nassau Inn.

The coach, hearing such a thing coming from such a young man, was first shocked, then laughed and ate his fill, after a few seconds, he calmed down and then again shook his head with a hearty laugh.

Lukas, on the other hand, was going towards the shuttle bus, which would take him to the dorm, and sat inside comfortably.

The shuttle bus was free for the students to travel across the campus, and Lukas, sitting down inside the bus, took a deep breath, he could have never guessed he had such talent.

Fuck!! Did the system just show me the mirror?

Lexus was wondering if he had always had this talent or if today was just a fluke or he wasted his years last time when he was young, there were many doubts in Lukas's mind, but he suppressed them because his excitement was off the charts at this moment.

He was about to see how much he got total for pitching from the system, Lukas, in his mind, said, "System," and the cyan panel appeared in front of him as usual.

[Mission Completed. Grade: A, Pitched for 13 times. Reward: $15000]

Lukas, seeing the floating stack of cash, closed the system with his mind, as he didn't want to receive such a huge amount of money in front of so many people.

With two thousand in the bank and ten thousand in the room and now fifteen thousand, I have around twenty-seven thousand. I should save up most of it, but I need some clothes and a small car.

Lukas was thinking of buying a small car for convenience, he wanted to move around freely and do some business as well.
