Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai lay sprawled on the turf, his chest heaving violently.

Not far away, Li Ziqiang's voice rang out: "Okay, have you had enough watching the show? Give me training!"

Mao Xiao's apologetic face appeared in his vision: "Sorry, Hu Lai..."

He felt a hand patting his body, maybe a shoulder, maybe an arm.

Then he saw Meng Xi stuck his head out to look at him, and ran away without saying anything.

The sound of footsteps went from near to far, and finally disappeared.

A whistle sounded in the distance.

There are also some voices, from the stands, from the sidelines, mixed together, inaudible, and become "buzzing" in Hu Lai's ears.

The whole world seemed to be buzzing in his ears.

After being knocked to the ground again and again, he is still a little dizzy now, accompanied by tinnitus, and his reaction is not very sensitive.

He didn't know how long he had been lying on the ground, but he hadn't done basic training today, so he struggled to get up from the ground again.

Training has already started on the other half of the pitch.

He staggered towards his own training ground - in front of a wall of the stadium.

Seeing Hu Lai's embarrassed appearance, Li Zhiqun laughed happily.

When you were showing off your power in front of Lao Tzu, did you ever think that you would be so miserable after joining the school team?

Li Zhiqun smiled happily, completely oblivious to the fact that Song Jiajia, who was in the distance, was staring at him with murderous eyes.

Li Qingqing didn't care about Li Zhiqun, her eyes all fell on Hu Lai.

Under her gaze, the teenager came to his training place with the football in his arms, put the football down, and then kicked the football towards the opposite wall.

However, due to loss of strength, his kick was flawed, and the football flew crookedly to the other side, and did not bounce back.

Hu Lai had no choice but to run over unsteadily, retrieve the football, then dribble with his feet crossed, and brought the football back.

In this process, he has not forgotten to do the basic training of dribbling.

As soon as Hu Lai came home, she startled her mother Xie Lan: "What's going on with your face?"

The left half of Hu Lai's face was slightly swollen, but this was not the most obvious. What was more conspicuous was a red scratch on the left half of his face.

That's what made his mother exclaim.

"I fell while riding a bicycle." Hu Lai explained.

"Fortunately your dad went to work..." Xie Lan complained.

"Tsk, mom, I really fell from a bicycle! If you don't believe me, look!" After finishing speaking, Hu Lai lifted up his clothes and showed his mother the same abrasion on his ribs. "It's still on the palm." Hu Lai spread out the palm of his hand again, revealing the red scratch marks inside.

Seeing these scars on his son's body, Xie Lan frowned heartbroken: "I'll get you medicine."

"No need, Mom, it's all scabbed over." Hu Lai showed it to her mother.

"Then you need to rub the medicine. When the scabs form, pick the scabs and then apply the medicine to prevent bacteria from being stuffed inside." Xie Lan said seriously.

Hu Lai was taken aback: "Mom, are you serious?!"

In the end, Xie Lan still applied medicine to Hu Lai. Of course, he didn't pierce the scabbed wound.

At the dinner table, Xie Lan smiled as he watched his son devouring his food.

During this period of time, my son's appetite has increased, which should be related to his playing football. The more he exercises, the more he eats naturally.

This is very good, Xie Lan has always been worried that Hu Lai is too short, and it will be difficult to find a wife in the future.

In fact, Hu Lai's father is not short, with a height of 1.8 meters, but Xie Lan is short, only 1.5 meters. She has been worried that she will drag the child down, causing him to grow short.

If playing football can make children grow taller,

That's a good thing too...

"Eat more, add more after eating." Xie Lan said, looking at his child lovingly.

"Yeah." Hu Lai nodded while continuing to dig rice into his mouth.

"Qingqing, Qingqing?"

"Ah?" Li Qingqing came back to her senses and looked at her father who was staring at her.

"What's wrong with you? You didn't agree just now." Li Ziqiang asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, I'm thinking about a question."

"is it hard?"

"Hmm... It's very difficult, very difficult." Li Qingqing frowned and thought for a second, then nodded. Not only was it difficult, it was simply incomprehensible. Anyway, she couldn't figure out how Hu Lai, who had only practiced for a month, could break through the close defense of the two main central defenders who were inseparable.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, don't force yourself too much." Li Ziqiang advised.

"Hmm." The daughter lowered her head and took a mouthful of rice.

Seeing his daughter's absent-minded appearance, Li Ziqiang couldn't help feeling a little tight in his chest.

He can only imagine how he will deal with this bastard in the next year when Hu Lai fails the special training...

Only in this way can he feel a little bit of comfort.

※※※

After taking a shower, Hu Lai, who had already gone to bed, knelt on the bed, closed his eyes to enter the system, and looked at the marquee in front of him.

In today's special training, except for the first time he touched the ball and shot it towards the goal, he couldn't even touch the ball at other times. He just fell down, got up, fell down, and got up again and again.

He felt like a sandbag, being beaten repeatedly.

If things go on like this, there is absolutely no hope of completing the special training.

In fact, if there is no such thing and just let him practice the basics for a year, although Hu Lai will inevitably want to play in the game, he will not have any great resistance to such an arrangement. In training, he has already made it clear that he really needs to lay a solid foundation.

But now the two tasks are in his consciousness system, and those rewards are like a half-hidden goddess, seducing him and making him hot inside.

There is also that time-limited task, the countdown is non-stop for one second, and it has jumped to 24:17:41:08. It is like a reminder, reminding him that time is like flowing water, rushing to the sea and never returning.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai looked at the four lottery tickets in his hand again. He took out 2,000 points from the 3,000 points rewarded for completing the task before, and exchanged them for four lottery tickets.

Give it a go and turn your bike into a motorcycle.

Wouldn't it be so cool if you pulled out some kind of artifact and let yourself turn against the wind?

He decisively used up the first lottery ticket.

"You got 【Physical Potion】×1."

"Depend on!"

Hu Lai grabbed the quilt, turned over and lay down on the bed, no longer thinking about relying on the plug-in to turn against the wind.

In the second day's training, the special training was put in the last session, so that everyone's normal training would not be delayed-yesterday, because of Hu Lai's special training, the others watched the show for a long time after warming up. When I started training, my body was cold, and the training effect was not very good.

While the team was in normal training, Hu Lai was also doing his own basic training.

The last part of training is special training.

The special training this time was no different from yesterday, and Hu Lai was knocked to the ground again and again.

In the beginning, Mao Xiao immediately stretched out his hand to pull Hu Lai up every time to express his apology to his friend.

But he didn't do it later, because even if he stretched out his hand, it would be difficult for Hu Lai to be pulled up. Let's leave some more time for Hu Lai to recover and rest.

Head coach Li Ziqiang was still standing outside the penalty area, watching all this coldly.

If Mao Xiao or Yan Yan's performance is a little slack, his loud voice will follow, like a whip, and the two of them dare not stop.

So when another day of training was over, Hu Lai still could only lie on the rough artificial turf, gasping for breath, looking up at the sky.

The chaotic footsteps sounded and disappeared in his ears, from near to far, and from far to near.

All kinds of voices and discussions fell into his ears, and eventually they all became "buzzing".

There is still the last training session three times a week, and there is not much time left for him.

Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground panting heavily, re-entered the system unwillingly. Although he only got [Physical Potion] last night, he still wanted to try again and work harder.

After all, he still has three lottery tickets in hand. After buying this item, he can't return it, and it can't be exchanged for points. It's useless to keep it in his hand.

I still use it.

With this in mind, Hu Lai used up a lottery ticket.

A brilliant light flashed, and a card quietly floated in his system space.

[World Wave Experience Card]: After using it, the user's shot may become a world wave within ten seconds.

Hu Lai was stunned.

"Hey, Hu Lai, don't lie down, be careful of catching a cold..." Mao Xiao squatted beside Hu Lai, calling.

But Hu Lai didn't give him any response, just staring at the sky in a daze, if it wasn't for his chest still rising and falling, and he could still hear gasps from his mouth and nose, people would really think he was dead .

Meng Xi, who was squatting next to Hu Lai with Mao Xiao, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes. Hu Lai's eyes did not refocus because of this, and they were still facing the infinite sky, and did not respond to Meng Xi's movements. .

Mao Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed Hu Lai: "The training is over, Hu Lai, the coach is gone, really..."

Holly still didn't respond.

"Could it be that you've hit your head stupidly?" Meng Xi said beside him. "Being knocked to the ground again and again, there is a possibility of a concussion..."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Lai, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, suddenly sat up from the turf, startling both Mao Xiao and Meng Xi.

Hu Lai, who sat up, ignored the two people around him, but got up and went straight to the outside of the court.

"It's over, I'm so stupid." Looking at Hu Lai's stumbling back, Meng Xi sighed.

"I didn't do it on purpose, the coach asked me to do this..." Mao Xiao murmured fearfully, as if begging Hu Lai to let him go if he turned into a ghost.
