When Hu Lai saw this task released by the system, he couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle System, you are really getting better and better at playing..."
He can even think of such an immoral task.
Although there is no punishment for failure in this task, he has become the culprit for the team losing what may be the only Europa League final in history, but it is more severe than any punishment...
Yes, if Hu Lai touches the trophy but fails to complete the task, then he will add another bloody example to the curse of "touching the trophy before the game will lose the championship".
Of course, Hu Lai can also choose not to accept the task, that is, completely ignore it and not touch the trophy before the game. In this way, the task will not be triggered. Even if Leeds City loses, he will not become the target of public criticism.
But looking at the two rewards of [World Wave Experience Card] and [Unfitting Sneakers], as well as the five hundred thousand points... it was difficult for Hu Lai to convince himself not to accept the task.
Because whether he touches the trophy or not, whether he has this mission or not, he will always aim to win the championship.
Just like the team owner said, since they have won the Premier League championship, why can't they dream of the Europa League championship?
They came to the finals with no intention of returning home as runner-up.
Since you have to win the championship no matter what, then isn’t this mission reward a free gift?
There is no reason not to accept it!
Especially the [World Wave Experience Card], one million points means that it is impossible for you to exchange your precious points for this thing.
Quests became the only way to obtain...
What do you mean by lottery?
After Hu Lai recognized his non-chief nature, he had already relegated the lottery interface without bunny girls to the cold palace.
And not every mission rewards [World Wave Experience Card].
Now that there is a mission to reward this, can you just watch the opportunity slip away in front of you?
[World Wave Experience Card] How incredible this thing is, Hu Lai has already experienced it in the World Cup.
Although there are still three years until the next World Cup, considering the scarcity of [World Wave Experience Cards], it is absolutely no problem to start saving now.
If the reward for this mission was only 500,000 points and [bad-fitting sneakers], then Hu Lai probably wouldn't be so entangled and would just accept it and ignore the cheating son of the system.
Now this purple [World Wave Experience Card] is so tempting that Hu Lai can't take his eyes away.

"Gentlemen, get ready to appear!"
The head referee led his team of referees and came up from behind with a football in hand to remind the players of both teams.
Players from both teams grabbed the ball boys around them.
At this moment, Kamala, who was standing at the end of the team, saw Hulay in front of him turn around and said to him: "Ismail, let's change places."
He meant to go to the end of the line.
Kamala was a little surprised, but she still agreed. He had no reason not to agree.
This playing position does not have any special meaning. Except that the captain and goalkeeper must stand in front of the team, there are no hard and fast rules about who stands in what position. Maybe some teams are particular about it, but Leeds City does not.
This is a relatively young team that has been derided for its lack of history.
But the advantage of lacking history is that there are not so many rules and regulations.
Kamara pulled his caddy forward and changed positions with Hulay.
Hu Lai stood at the end of the team.
Then the two teams started moving, and under the leadership of the referee team, walked towards the court outside the tunnel.
Hu Lai took the hand of the caddy next to him with his left hand and followed the teammates in front of him out.
※※※
"Finally... players from both sides have appeared!"
Amidst the huge cheers of the fans and the sound of the Europa League theme song, the players from the two teams filed out of the tunnel.
They passed by the Europa League trophy on the left and right. When passing the trophy, some people would very deliberately look straight ahead, as if just looking at it could ruin their character.
But there are also players who are staring at the trophy with burning eyes.
But no matter who it was or what their thoughts were, they just walked past the trophy without reaching out to touch it.
Even Dominic Lasky, who really wanted to touch it, just looked at the trophy reluctantly.
Everyone restrains their inner impulses.
Except for one person.
When both teams came out of the tunnel, the TV broadcast cut to the camera above the entrance of the tunnel, taking a 45-degree overhead shot of the two teams' backs on the field.
Between the two teams, the Europa League trophy shines brightly.
Hu Lai, who was walking at the back of the team, suddenly reached for the trophy when he passed it!
The players from the two teams in front of him didn't notice Hu Lai's little move, but the audience in front of the TV could see it clearly through the lens of this camera!
He touched the trophy!
"Eh? Eh?" Shen Lang, who was explaining, was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Shi Wuyin, who was next to him, said it directly: "Hu Lai touched the trophy!"
※※※
"Hu Lai touched the trophy!"
Seeing this scene and hearing what Shi Wuyuan said, Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, then realized and said angrily:
"This bastard!"
As a "senior fan" who has watched football for five years, Xie Lan usually learns all kinds of football-related knowledge on the Internet, so how could she not know what her son's move means?
What a waste of character!
Lose your character!
How could her son, who was always as steady as an old dog, do such a stupid thing that would stun him?!
Is he out of his mind?
Hearing Xie Lan scolding Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang and Hu Lixin looked at each other and wisely chose not to persuade Xie Lan at this time.
And in fact, they don't quite understand why Hu Lai did this.
Although they are not the kind of superstitious people, they still know this unspoken rule.
Why does Hu Lai need to break this unspoken rule?
Are you stubborn and don’t believe in evil?

"Holy crap! Hu Lai touched the trophy!"
Zhong Shihao pointed at the TV screen and his eyes widened.
"Fuck, doesn't he know the meaning of this action?" Meng Xi was also surprised.
"It shouldn't be! There's no reason!"
"Hu Lai must have been possessed by a ghost..."
There were exclamations in the living room.
Even Chu Yifan stared at the screen in surprise and was speechless.
Just when everyone was making a fuss, Yan Yan spoke up: "What's the fuss about? Have you forgotten who Hu Lai is?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him.
"The Chosen One!" Yan Yan pointed at the ceiling. "Can he not know the curse of not being able to touch the trophy before the game? Of course he knows. Then why would he do it? Because he is not afraid of the curse! We were still on the 14th.
What about the cursed number in Chinese football? What kind of curse is there after being worn by Hu Lai? How many people are rushing to wear this number now!"
Having said this, Yan Yan paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and then said with satisfaction: "So, any curse... is not worth mentioning in front of our 'chosen son'! I believe in Hu Lai
The action is to show us that there is no curse that he cannot defeat!"
In silence, Meng Xi shook his head and said: "Good guy, Captain Yan...I didn't know if what you said was true for a while..."
"Nonsense, of course it's true!" Yan Yan snorted calmly, "Just wait and see. Originally, I had no idea about this game, but after seeing Hu Lai's action, I suddenly became full of confidence in Leeds City!
Because Hu Lai issued his declaration!"
In the silence, Tang Xiuyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I know why Yifan said Yan Yan that you are the 'leader'! Really, you just... were so awesome!"
Yan Yan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, maintained enough respect for his senior sister-in-law, and softened his tone a lot: "Senior sister, it's because you don't know Hu Lai well enough. But it doesn't matter. You will know after watching today's game with us.
Why do I say this? Because...Hu Lai on the court will never let you down!"
However, Tang Xiuyuan felt that Yan Yan still looked like a magic stick, and wanted to continue teasing a few words. Unexpectedly, Chu Yifan beside him nodded and said something to Yan Yan: "Yan Yan is right. That's right.
Hu Lai, you really need to have some confidence. Anyway, it’s not like there have been times in football where you touched the trophy before the game and actually won the trophy in the end. Football is round, and there is no curse that will definitely come true.”
He said this last sentence to the other people in the room, asking them to calm down and watch the game.
Is this a confident declaration of victory by Hu Lai, or is he just out of his mind? We’ll know after the game is over, right?
Only then did everyone turn their attention back to the TV. In the live broadcast, both teams had completed the pre-match photo session and were shaking hands to greet each other.
The commentator Shen Lang and guest commentator Shi Wuyin also seemed to deliberately downplay the fact that Hu Lai touched the trophy in advance, and almost did not mention it in the subsequent commentary.
※※※
Sevilla Navigator's forward Rafael Herguez was the only player from the two teams at that time, apart from Julay himself, who saw the scene when Julay touched the trophy. Because he was a member of Sevilla Navigator.
The last player in the family was also looking at the trophy, and he saw Hu Lai reaching for the trophy.
At that time, he looked shocked and had no idea why Hu Lai would do this.
But now when he stood in front of Hu Lai and stretched out his hand, he said with a smile: "I saw it all! Thank you so much!"
He believed that Jule's move brought good luck to the Seville navigators.
Hu Lai also had a bright smile on his face: "Thank you too for taking the initiative to chat with me. I'm busy now, let's have a chat later."
Hergules was confused, what happened to chatting with you? What is there to be grateful for? Why don’t you have a good chat? Just talk!
Is there something wrong with your brain?
He stopped talking, rolled his eyes at Hu Lai, lightly touched his hand and separated.
Because Hulay was the last person in the Leeds City team, after shaking hands with Hulay, Hergures returned to his team. He pointed at Hulay and gloated to his teammates: "Hey,
Guys, I just saw that kid touch the trophy when he came out!"
After hearing what he said, the Sevilla Navigator players turned around and cast surprised and curious glances at Hulay.
I didn’t expect that there are people who really don’t believe in evil!
The Leeds City players had no idea what was happening behind them when they came on the field. Kamara even called Hulay to run to his position.
Looking at the ignorant Leeds City players, Sevilla Navigator midfielder Victor Montero grinned: "There are always people who don't believe in fate, so let him see the cruelty of fate."

Luo Kai sat in the box, frowning, and chatting with his manager Sui Xin: "Hu Lai has a seizure again? What is he doing touching the trophy when he has nothing to do?"
Sui Xin spread his hands: "We can't understand him with common sense."
Hearing what Uncle Sui said, Luo Kai sighed and felt that he was right.
Hu Lai is indeed not the kind of person who should use common sense to reason.
He sighed, this person is really crazy!
He is not the kind of person who will congratulate Hu Lai from the bottom of his heart after he wins the championship. But it does not mean that he is the kind of person who hopes that Hu Lai will ruin the championship with such a stupid move.
In any case, this is also the first time that Chinese players have the opportunity to touch the league championship trophy... Can't you wait until the end of the game to win the trophy and touch it openly? Don't touch it then, you can kiss or lick it!
※※※
Lilith had a very distressed look on her face.
It's a pity that Qingqing is not here, otherwise she would have to ask her "good friend" Hu Lai at this time why he touched the trophy with his hand.
She fulfilled her promise with Qingqing and came to the scene to cheer for Hu Lai and Leeds City, hoping that Leeds City could create a miracle.
But now Hu Lai's touch cast a shadow on Lilith's heart.
Not good!
At this moment, she heard a soft sigh from beside her.
Turning around and glancing...
She saw an Oriental man with black hair and yellow skin, but his face had sharp and angular side lines like a sculpture.
But that's not important.
The most important thing was the unhidden melancholy in his eyes, which was like a deep pool of water, sucking in Lilith's eyes and heart.
Wow, this man... is kind of handsome!
