Fox in the Penalty Area

Dongchuan Middle School is not a boarding school, but there will still be many students staying on campus at noon. After all, this high school gathers the best students in Dongchuan City, rather than enrolling nearby. Some students who are far away from home do not Will be home at noon.

Dongchuan Middle School obviously knew this too, so they opened a cafeteria in the school to provide students with lunch.

On normal days, students who have eaten lunch will either take a lunch break in the classroom or do their homework, and there will be some people on the playground, but not many.

Today is different, the stands of the stadium are full of people, and the side of the stadium under the stands is also full of people, it is very lively.

Everyone knows that there is a new competition for the school football team today.

Those boys who like football and girls who like boys who like football are all concentrated in the stadium.

"...Even so, there must be too many people here..." Standing in the stands, Li Qingqing looked at the crowd around her. She was a little dazed, thinking that she had come to a professional competition.

"That's because everyone knows that there is Luo Kai in today's recruiting competition."

Song Jiajia, who was standing next to her, took advantage of her size to squeeze the space between the two of them, making it less crowded around Li Qingqing. But it made the two girls who were pushed behind him very upset, but after seeing Song Jiajia's figure, they could only roll their eyes wildly, and didn't dare to choke, they could only slander in their hearts.

This fat man's arms are almost as thick as their waists... I can't afford to provoke them.

As soon as Song Jiajia finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the stands: "Luo Kai——!!!"

Even the two girls behind him became excited and screamed: "Has Luo Kai come out?!"

Under the stands, Luo Kai came out, wearing a jersey and a yellow vest, with a football under his feet, warming up on the field.

As if by magic, his every step brought cheers from the stands.

Li Qingqing looked around, a little surprised: "When did Luo Kai become so famous?"

She already knew that Luo Kai was very popular in the class, but looking at the situation, it felt like half of the girls in the school had become his fans...

"Our class leader competed with other classes, and Luo Kai's name naturally spread." Song Jiajia explained. "And he's handsome."

"So that's the case." Li Qingqing nodded, then turned her eyes away from Luo Kai and turned to the other side.

She saw the thin figure.

He is warming up according to the methods he usually taught him.

※※※

Most people's understanding of warm-up is still at the point of expanding the chest, twisting the waist, moving the ankles and pressing the legs.

Among such a group of people, Hu Lai, who has learned professional warm-up methods from Li Qingqing, is very conspicuous-it seems that other boys who warm up according to the old method are just like old hats...

Li Zhiqun walked up to Hu Lai and said, "Stop struggling, Hu Lai, you won't pass the exam."

Hu Lai glanced at him and said, "Li Zhiqun, the game will be up soon, you're dangling around here, and you don't warm up, so you're not afraid of getting injured during the game?"

Li Zhiqun chuckled: "Can you get injured in this kind of competition?"

When Hu Lai saw what he said, he also chuckled, stopped talking, and continued to do the warm-up movements Li Qingqing taught him seriously.

Seeing this, Li Zhiqun snorted, cursed in his heart for "pretending to be aggressive", and then walked towards Luo Kai: "Brother Kai..."

※※※

The warm-up didn't last long. When Li Ziqiang walked onto the court and blew the whistle, all the students who were going to participate in the test match gathered.

Li Ziqiang started the roll call, and those whose names were called were assigned to the first team.

Those assigned to a team went out and stood aside.

Then continue the roll call and continue to divide into a team.

In this way, a total of eight teams were divided, with eleven members in each team, and each team was numbered, from the first team to the eighth team.

Li Zhiqun was in the first team and Luo Kai was in the second team. Li Zhiqun was a little disappointed that he couldn't be on the same team as Brother Kai, but when he turned his head and saw Hu Lai who was also in the first team, he immediately grinned.

The teammates of the first team are assigning positions on the field.

Hu Lai raised his hands and propped his feet and said, "I'm a striker!"

"Don't listen to him, he's a ghost striker!" Li Zhiqun's voice sounded, and under everyone's gaze, he walked into the circle, then pointed to Hu Lai and said to the others: "He's from our class, he I know all too well the details. When our class first formed the football team, he also said that he was a striker, and even bragged that he was the main striker and captain of the junior high school team. We were simple, so we believed it. The result? Playing football on the court revealed his secrets... The captain of the bullshit school team, he doesn't know how to play football at all! He can't even score an empty goal!"

Li Zhiqun vividly told everyone how Hu Lai wasted an empty goal opportunity that was close at hand. When he said that Hu Lai actually slapped the football with his hands and even slapped the football on his face, the team resounded. There was a loud roar of laughter.

"Then let him play guard..." someone suggested.

But this proposal was immediately opposed by Li Zhiqun: "No, there is no difference between letting him play as a defender and committing suicide. Do you believe he can kick us in with an own goal?"

"But you can't let him not play, right? There are only eleven of us, and there are no substitutes to replace..." The proposer was very embarrassed.

Li Zhiqun said: "Let him play full-back. At least he will not directly threaten our goal if he makes a mistake on the wing."

So Hu Lai's position was determined, left back.

You must know that Hu Lai is not left-handed, but it doesn't matter, no one expects him to play a role in the game, as long as he doesn't make trouble...

Of course, Hu Lai doesn't have to accept this arrangement, then he will leave the field automatically and don't take part in the test.

This is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the qualification to join the team.

Hu Lai obviously knew this too, so he didn't leave the field in a fit of anger—maybe this is exactly what Li Zhiqun wanted to achieve.

Seeing Hu Lai, Li Zhiqun came over and said to him earnestly: "Hu Lai, as a classmate, I am doing this for your own good. You don't want to be ashamed in front of so many people, do you?"

He pointed to the packed stands.

Compared with the game in the physical education class back then, today's battle is much bigger.

Hu Lai smiled sincerely and said, "Then I really thank your family for eighteen generations, Li Zhiqun!"

How could Li Zhiqun fail to understand the meaning of Hu Lai's words, but now he is confident that he is the winner, and he doesn't want to argue with Hu Lai, so he just snorted and ran to the front - he is the striker of the first team in this game .

There was a sudden burst of cheers from the stands, and Li Zhiqun knew that it must be Brother Kai.

Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, he saw Luo Kai running from the sidelines to the field. There were other people from the second team beside him, but the cheers were definitely not for them.

These people also knew this to some extent. They hung far behind and let Luo Kai walk at the front of the team alone.

With a confident smile on his face, he walked towards the middle circle step by step with steady steps.

There, Chu Yifan, the captain of the school team who was the match referee, was already waiting for him with a whistle.

Amidst the cheers, he smiled at the approaching Luo Kai: "It's really enviable, Luo Kai."

Luo Kai kept smiling and said very politely: "There are also cheers for Team Chu."

What a coincidence, the cheers from the sidelines grew louder.

Not all students are interested in football. Those who originally wanted to use the lunch break to sleep on the desks in the classroom stood up angrily from their seats and turned their heads to stare in the direction of the stadium.

Huge cheers and screams came clearly from that direction.

※※※

"Look, this is the scene that should appear in novels, comics, and idol dramas." Song Jiajia, who was standing in the stands, said in a sarcastic tone.

Li Qingqing glanced at Song Jiajia, and then asked, "Don't you like football?"

"I don't like football."

"Then what are you looking for?"

"I'll watch Hu Lai hit the south wall, and then he can give up his heart and go eat chicken with me!" Song Jiajia cast her eyes on the figure in the red vest.

Like the other players on the field, his tablemates were all looking at the direction of the middle circle, where there was Chu Yifan and Luo Kai.

Seeing Hu Lai's dumbfounded look, Song Jiajia snorted forcefully from his nostrils.

※※※

Amid the deafening cheers, Hu Lai remained unmoved. Li Zhiqun glanced back at him, and found that Hu Lai was staring blankly at the middle circle.

He sneered in his heart.

Are you intimidated by Brother Kai's popularity?

Just like this, he still dares to act eccentrically in front of Brother Kai all day long... I don't know who gave him the courage!

What Li Zhiqun didn't know was that Hu Lai was not intimidated by the situation, but by the mission just released by the system.

Just half a minute ago, when the cheers exploded over the stadium, Hu Lai's system, which had been hibernating for a long time, finally released a new task.

"Task: In this game, score three yuan alone and perform a hat-trick. Task reward: [Marrow Cleansing Potion] x 1, mysterious gift bag x 1, points x 3000."
