I'll update again after I gain new patrons.

The Martin family settled on the farm of Martin's grandpa.

What makes Martin feel weird is that his uncle Frank seems to be too enthusiastic, especially towards him. Frank was all over Martin these days. Martin was given a foal on the first day. The next day, Martin was given a mini motorcycle as a gift. On the third day, Frank took Martin to the Staples Center, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, to watch the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

"Martin, you made a profit today. I bought front-row tickets. You can even greet O'Neal up close."

"But I like Kobe better."

Martin shrugged indifferently. Succubus Martin doesn't understand basketball, but Huaxia Martin does. This guy likes Kobe crazily.

To be honest, Succubus Martin can't understand why ten people chase a ball and put it in the hole guarded by the opponent. Isn't this a very simple game? But after the game started, the warm atmosphere still infected him. He liked this feeling of vigorous desire to win and lose. It seems that basketball is not bad.

He looked at the guy named Kobe carefully. This guy's dribbling movements are indeed gorgeous, and his shooting movements are also very graceful, which are within Martin's aesthetic range. The Lakers played very well in this game. Kobe's performance was also very good. He had already scored 16 points before the first half was over.

Boom!

Kobe's wonderful dunk ignited the audience. Martin looked around, suddenly his expression changed, and he said to Frank:

"Frank, do you have any paper with you?"

"Do you want to go to the toilet?"

"No, writing paper, I suddenly had inspiration."

"Uh, I have a pack of napkins here." Frank took out a pack of napkins from his pocket.

"Oh, and a checkbook." He also took out a brand new checkbook.

"Checkbook, yes."

"Wait, that's new—never mind!"

Before Frank could finish speaking, Martin had already taken out the pen he had brought with him and started writing furiously in his checkbook.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the camera lens also scanned the row where Frank and Martin were sitting. The camera panned over and then suddenly panned back. Martin's behavior left the cameraman puzzled but also amused.

Frank and Martin appeared on the big screen. The audience on the sidelines looked at Martin, who was immersed in writing something with his head down on the screen, and question marks popped up in their heads.

"What is this kid doing?"

"Is he doing his homework while watching the Lakers game?"

"Damn, he wasted such a good spot."

This scene was really too sudden. While everyone around him was shouting crazily for Kobe's wonderful goal, only this child was writing furiously in his seat.

"Wait, I think I know him."

"Martin Meyers, that genius!"

"Oh, God, today's game is worth it. The Lakers are playing and the genius Martin is doing homework. What good news material!"

"Damn, all I want to know now is what he is writing about. What attracted him to ignore the wonderful game?"

The reporters at the scene recognized Martin and immediately became excited. Some have even thought of the headlines for tomorrow's sports and entertainment pages:

"Genius Martin didn't bother to watch the Lakers game and was immersed in homework during the game."

"Martin doesn't like Kobe's dunks, but his homework is more exciting."

"How genius is made, just look at Martin's performance in the Lakers game."

The commotion in the audience also attracted the attention of the players on the field. Shaquille O'Neal put his arm around Kobe's shoulders and said with a smile, "Kobe, it seems that your goals are not enough to attract our little genius. He'd rather do his homework than watch you dunk."

As an "entertainment shark," O'Neal is very concerned about things in the entertainment industry. He has even listened to Martin's mini-album "Martin 1" and especially likes the second piece of music in it. Of course, he will never admit what kind of picture came to mind when listening to this piece of music.

Kobe was a little confused, "Who is he? You know him? What genius? Basketball genius?"

O'Neal looked at Kobe in great surprise, "Man, sometimes you really should pay attention to things other than basketball. He is Martin Meyers, the most popular child star in Hollywood recently."

After saying that, O'Neal said in a tone of introduction to his colleagues, "The music this little guy creates is pretty good, no worse than Shaq! I will take you to get to know this little guy later." At this time, O'Neal hasn't fallen out with Kobe yet, and Kobe hasn't said "Shaq did it too." The two are still close good brothers. O'Neal has always regarded Kobe as his little brother, and Kobe also regards Shaq as a good big brother.

Hearing Shaq's words, Kobe was a little surprised and looked at the child who was completely unaware that the people around him were watching him and was still writing furiously. Not only is this little guy a movie star, but he also writes his own songs?!

But then he thought about what Shaq had just said, that this little guy's music creation level was almost the same as his, and he felt relieved. The songs Shaq wrote were, to be honest, at the level of primary and secondary school students.

Martin had actually noticed the attention around him and on the court. He did it on purpose. This move was just to stimulate the emotions of the surrounding audience during this game. Didn't you see that the audience's strong curiosity has already made the magic power in his body start to stir up?

But that's just the appetizer. Now, he still needs a chance to speak out on the spot.

The opportunity came quickly. Intermission.

Shaq pulled Kobe to Martin's position and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Martin, man, this is a basketball game, not a good choice for homework!"

Martin pretended to be surprised, shook his body, raised his head, and saw Shaq and Kobe, especially when he saw Kobe, there was a look of "surprise" in his eyes.

"Wow, Kobe, that dunk you just had was awesome."

"Sorry, I didn't mean not to watch the game."

"Just when you dunked, a lot of ideas suddenly flashed through my head. I must write them down before they disappear."

"Kobe, my name is Martin Meyers, and I am your fan."

Kobe smiled sheepishly and said, "Martin, I know you. The movie 'Made in Heaven' starring you was a global hit, and you also published two best-selling books and a mini-album that was also a hit."

Kobe just heard these from Shaq, otherwise he would not know who Martin is. Even if he came to chat with Martin now, he was dragged here by Shaq, and he was still a little unhappy. But now, "Unhappy" flew away. Unexpectedly, this little guy was still a fan of his.

By the way, he said inspiration? What did he write? Is it a song?

Shaq on the side helped him ask. "Martin, you said inspiration, what is it? Song or pure music?"

"No, no, no, it's not pure music, it's a song this time."

Martin proudly raised the checkbook in his hand, "I've finished it."

The photographer at the scene took a close-up of the checkbook in a timely manner.
