Hu Lai leaned against the toilet door, closed his eyes and felt the wonderful feeling.
He just drank another bottle of [Stamina Potion], and it was as if a force surged out of his body, making him want to do ten sets of squats.
Unlike the potions I drank before, this is the only potion that can truly feel the changes in my body.
In this case, Hu Lai cannot be drunk casually, there must always be a sense of ceremony.
In order to avoid being disturbed by Meng Xi, he locked himself in the toilet and drank the [Stamina Potion].
Although he only played one game after using it once before the semi-finals, Hu Lai's physical fitness was not as exhausted as after playing three consecutive games. But considering that the next step was the final, Hu Lai insisted on just in case.
With my mentality, I decided to use [Stamina Potion] to restore the physical energy consumed in the semi-finals, so that my physical fitness would be in the best condition for the finals.
He even planned to exchange his precious points for a [lover's red rope] that would increase his luck before the game, helping him score in the final.
Although he only has 2,000 points left after redeeming the bracelet, if he can complete the task of defeating Chen Xingyi, he will be rewarded with another 20,000 points. He doesn't have to worry about not having enough points to convince his father later.
Points can be redeemed for trial packs of Charming Essence Lotion.
As the saying goes, if you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. You can't let go of the 10,000 points you have now. If the final mission fails, won't the 20,000 points also go away?
Thinking of this, Hu Lai smacked his lips and thought about the taste of drinking the [Stamina Potion] before opening the door and coming out.
"Hu Lai, do you have bad kidneys?" Meng Xi asked when she saw him coming out of the toilet.
"How are you talking?" Hu Lai rolled his eyes at him and said angrily. "You are so young, how come your kidneys are so bad?"
"Then why do you always run to the toilet?"
"I'm just thinking inside."
"Thinking in the toilet? You have really strong taste..."
"Stop talking nonsense! I just thought of a new celebration move. Do you want to hear what it is like?"
Meng Xi was a little surprised: "No need to celebrate using the toilet? Do you have to change it again?"
"There is only one last game left in the national competition. We have to come up with something new."
"I only played the role of toilet seat once..." Meng Xi was very distressed.
"This time I want you to play a more critical role than the toilet seat!"
"What?"
"Bicycle seat!"
Meng Xi was speechless for several seconds, then said angrily: "Are you kidding me? The bicycle seat plays a key role! The pedals and handlebars are even more important!"
"Why is the bicycle seat not critical? It can even be said that it is the most critical part of the entire bicycle!" Hu Lai explained seriously. "There are many bicycles parked in the corridor of our house. Some people put the bicycle seats on them to prevent theft.
After taking them home, why don’t you see anyone taking off the pedals and handlebars? You can still row with your legs without pedals, but try it without a seat? It’ll blow your ass off!”
Meng Xi imagined the scene and immediately nodded in agreement. The saddle is indeed the most important and critical part. You cannot ride a bicycle without a saddle.
As for not having handlebars... doesn't a unicycle have no handlebars?

Seven or eight Shuguang High School players were crowded into a room, each holding a mobile phone and playing Honor of Kings.
Everyone was shouting and yelling while playing, it was very lively.
After dinner, this time is basically the time for the players to relax and relax.
The Asian Games Village is located in a remote area, and the team management is strict. It is impossible for everyone to go out to play. They all stay in the dormitory room, playing games, watching movies, reading books...
Just when a round was over, the door was pushed open and Chen Xingyi walked in.
Seeing him coming in, someone immediately put down their mobile phones and asked strangely: "Team Chen, what does that Ma Lin from Chongwen Middle School want to do with you?"
"I want to say that he cried and told me that he was sorry that he could not play against me in the finals. Do you believe it or not?" Chen Xingyi laughed.
"Hey!" Everyone sneered at their captain's words.
"Well, actually he really told me that he couldn't play against me in the final. Unfortunately, he just didn't cry. I'm quite sorry because I really wanted to see what Marin would look like when he cried.
In the last finals, after Chongwen Middle School lost to us, so many people cried, but he didn't cry." Chen Xingyi spread his hands.
"What's the use of a rude man crying? Captain Chen, you are such a bad person!"
"He just said this to you? Is it necessary to come to you specifically?"
Chen Xingyi shook his head and said: "He is here to remind me that we must be careful of Hu Lai's machinations in the finals..."
Hearing this, many people in the room turned their attention to the big man leaning on the bed.
The big man who was being stared at was Pei Jie, the main goalkeeper of the Shuguang High School football team. When he saw everyone staring at him, he quickly raised his hands: "What do you want me to do? I don't have bad habits like Marin.
Throw the football on the ground and pass it around."
"He also sent me a photo and said that when he and his teammates were going for a walk just now, they bumped into people from Dongchuan Middle School rehearsing celebrations. He said that Dongchuan Middle School must have been too happy and was about to play in the finals.
, and still spend time on such meaningless things, for us, this may be good news, so I came to tell me specifically." Chen Xingyi showed the photos on his phone to everyone.
The teammates came over and saw that some players from Dongchuan Middle School were kneeling on the turf, while others were lying down, while Hu Lai was standing nearby giving instructions.
"Marin is right. The final is the day after tomorrow, and they can still think about rehearsing their celebrations? What does this mean? Do you think they will definitely score our goal in the final?" The teammates stared at the photo and commented.
"Isn't it a little too crazy?"
"It's obvious that they don't take us seriously!"
"Oh, isn't this a good thing?" Someone stood up, "It means that their minds are not on the competition. If they really don't take us seriously, it would be a good thing. Let them see the power of the two-time national champion."
!”
"Xiaohai is right. Before, I thought it would be very difficult to beat Chongwen Middle School in the finals. Now that it is Dongchuan Middle School, it might be a good thing. After all, they have no experience in the finals..."
Chen Xingyi shook his head and interrupted the discussion of his teammates: "On the contrary, I think this is not because they don't take us seriously, nor is it an opportunity for us to easily defeat them in the finals."
He raised his phone and showed the photos on his phone to his teammates.
"What they are thinking about now is how to choreograph celebrations, which just shows that they are very normal now. Didn't they say it before in interviews? On the first night they came to the Asian Games Village, they couldn't wait to start rehearsing the celebrations.
Before playing against Qingyang Yigao, they also took the time to rehearse new celebrations. And now they are still doing it, what does it mean? It means that the final is in their hearts, no different from any previous national competition.
"When we thought they would be nervous and at a loss because they were entering the finals for the first time and lacked experience, everything turned out to be normal. Fortunately, Marin came to tell me this, otherwise would we have to wait until
During the game, we discovered that our opponent was different from what we imagined?"
The expressions of the teammates in the room became serious.

The team leader, Teacher Liu, knocked on Li Ziqiang's door: "Coach Li, let's go see how the players are doing? The day after tomorrow is the final. I'm worried that those children have never played in the final and will be nervous."
Li Ziqiang felt that what Teacher Liu said made sense, so he nodded, went back to the room to get his coat, and followed Teacher Liu to "ward rounds."
They walked to the door of the first room and knocked, but no one answered.
I knocked again, but still no response.
"It's strange...it's only after eight o'clock, so you can't go to bed so early, right?" Teacher Liu put his ear to the door in confusion, trying to hear what was going on in the room.
Of course, he heard nothing.
"Let's go, change to the next room." Li Ziqiang turned around and knocked on the door opposite.
Still no one came out to open the door.
Li Ziqiang also put his ear to the door, and the room behind the door was quiet.
The two simply went to knock separately. The team leader, Teacher Liu, knocked on the door of the odd-numbered room, while Li Ziqiang knocked on the door of the even-numbered room on his side.
I knocked all the way from the end of the corridor, and after knocking halfway, no door was opened, and no sound came from all the rooms with closed doors.
This is very different from the usual situation where the door is always open, players come and go, and it is extremely noisy.
"This... we can't all go to bed, right? It's evil..." Teacher Liu frowned in confusion.
"Teacher Liu, there's no need to knock anymore, they should all be out." Li Ziqiang thought of a possibility.
"Everyone went out? Not in the room, they all ran out... Where to go and what to do?" The team leader is responsible for the discipline of the team. He is very sensitive to this kind of collective going out. Although the Asian Games Village is located in a remote place, it is still the same.
There are some lively places to go to, just in case these kids really run away...
Li Ziqiang shook his head: "I should be rehearsing new celebration moves."
When Teacher Liu heard what Li Ziqiang said, he immediately thought of how when the team first arrived at the Asian Games Village, the players ran to rehearse their celebrations after dinner.
Not to mention, those kids might actually be rehearsing their celebrations!
Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh: "Hey, I said I would come and see if they would be nervous, but now it seems that my worries were in vain... I'm sorry, Coach Li, for making your trip with me go in vain.
"
Li Ziqiang looked at the closed door in the corridor and said, "How can we know their situation if we don't go there?"
"That's right. Hey, Coach Li, these kids still have the energy to practice some celebration movements. Could it be that they have relaxed too much again?"
Li Ziqiang thought for a few seconds, shook his head and said: "No, this is their usual behavior, it's very normal. Teacher Liu, you don't have to worry about their mentality."
Hearing this, Teacher Liu laughed at himself: "Oh, to be honest, when I think about the final the day after tomorrow, I am so nervous. I didn't even sleep well last night. As soon as I closed my eyes, it was the scene of the final... As a result, these children competed
I'm much more powerful, and my future life is to be feared! Let's go, I'm going back to sleep."
After saying that, he waved his hands and stepped onto the steps, returning to his room upstairs.
Li Ziqiang, as for Li Ziqiang, looked back behind him at the empty corridor and followed the team leader, Teacher Liu, upstairs.
After they left, the sensor lights in the corridor were extinguished one by one, and darkness and silence returned.

ps, in fact, there is an Easter egg in this chapter that pays homage to "Do You Care If I Play Football"? Does anyone know which one it is...
