Hu Lai was sitting at his desk, the door behind him was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard from outside. At this time, his parents must have closed their bedroom door and were watching TV inside.
He looked down at his right wrist, which was bare, clean, and without any decorations.
The red bracelet disappeared after the game. He didn't even know exactly when it disappeared or why.
He didn't have time to think about it carefully at the time, but now he thinks about why Luo Kai's shot didn't fly outside the baseline or elsewhere after hitting the goal post, but it landed on him.
It's not that it shouldn't fall here, it's just that there is a probability that the football will fall anywhere, and the probability of landing at his feet should be very low.
But the football just flew to his feet.
So this should be a sign of good luck.
The reason why Hu Lai thinks so is, of course, because he wore a bracelet called the "Red String of Lover" on himself when he played. The function of this bracelet is to improve his luck in the game.
Of course, Hu Lai will definitely not admit publicly that he scored the goal by luck.
Moreover, even if the ball bounces in front of him due to luck, he will first run into the empty space. If someone else is in the center circle, even if his luck is unlucky, Luo Kai's shot can make the football hit the goal post and bounce into the center.
Come to the circle?
So in the final analysis it comes down to strength, and luck is also a part of strength!
Hu Lai firmly believed in this idea in his heart.
Then I remembered that after he scored, the system also prompted that the task was completed, and also told him that the system was being upgraded and could not be accessed.
The upgrade should be completed now, right?
Thinking of this, Hu Lai entered the system and planned to see what the upgraded system would look like.
As a result, as soon as he entered the system, he received a notification: "The system upgrade has been completed. Congratulations to star Hu Lai. From now on, your goals in official matches will be automatically converted into points. One goal can be converted into one hundred points."
.”
Hu Lai was stunned, what about this operation?
He had always thought that points could only be obtained by completing tasks, but he did not expect that scoring goals could now be converted into points.
Although one goal is worth 100 points, a little adds up to a lot.
Moreover, Hu Lai firmly believes that he will score many goals in the future, and these goals will be converted into points.
Then he took a look at his points and found that they had increased from 6,000 to 7,100. In addition to the 1,000 points awarded by the mission, an additional 100 points had been added.
And the [Lover's Red String] in his storage space disappeared completely because it had been used.
But in the official mall, Hu Lai saw this [Lover's Red Rope], quietly placed next to the [World Wave Experience Card], with a price tag of 10,000 points.
Sure enough, only after you use this prop, the prop will appear in the official mall and can be purchased with points.
But another question quickly popped up in Hu Lai's mind: Then why are the two items [Marrow Cleansing Potion] and [Smart Potion] already used by him but not appearing in the official mall?
Could it be that... these two things cannot be bought even with points? They can only rely on lottery or task rewards?
When he thought of the lottery, Hu Lai's face fell. Countless facts had proved that he was not very lucky in the lottery. Even if he spent all the points on hand, he would not be able to draw a bottle.
Marrow Cleansing Potion] or [Smart Potion].
He just doesn't know if the two primary training scrolls for different items that he has not used yet can be purchased in the mall after using them. If they can be exchanged for points, then his current points cannot be used in random draws.
A primary training scroll can only take effect in ten training sessions, but his training sessions are more than ten sessions. If he wants to obtain a steady stream of training bonus effects, he naturally needs to continue to use points to purchase those training scrolls.
However, that is all a matter for the future. For Hu Lai, the most important thing now is whether after the system upgrade, there will be two more charming bunny girls next to the big wheel for the lottery.
He entered the lottery interface.
The big carousel with the marquee was alone in the interface, looking at each other with Hu Lai.
There is no bunny girl, no sexy dealer, nothing, exactly the same as before the upgrade.
Simple and shabby.
Hu Lai then realized what the so-called system upgrade was. Did he upgrade the function of automatically redeeming points for each goal?
Do you have the nerve to say that you are an upgrade?
There is just one more small function, that is called patching!
It’s also a “system upgrade”, why are you pretending to put it here?
Hu Lai was very angry because there was no bunny girl.
After exiting the system, he sighed heavily and unwillingly.

Li Qingqing took a shower in the bathroom and walked out wiping her hair.
Then she saw her father sitting on the sofa in the living room, as if waiting for her.
"What's the matter, Dad?" she asked proactively.
"Oh, it's like this, Qingqing. It's been three months since we came here, and you haven't had any systematic training for almost half a year, right?"
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, wondering why his father suddenly mentioned this.
In fact, when she decided to follow her father back to Dongchuan, she was mentally prepared to abandon the path of women's football.
Because my father offended someone at his original football school, he couldn't stay any longer, so he had to resign and leave.
Although her father is her father and she is her, just because her father loses her job does not mean that she will also be expelled from the football school. Not to mention that she herself is still the main core of the women's football team of the same age group in that football school.
But Li Qingqing decided to drop out of school and left with his father.
Of course she knew that this decision meant that she would most likely lose the opportunity to continue her studies in professional football. After all, it was the best football school in China, with the most professional coaching team and top-notch teaching facilities.
The professional club has sent more than one hundred outstanding young talents of all ages, regardless of gender.
If nothing unexpected happens, if she continues to study in this school, maybe in a year or two, she will join a professional women's football club and become a professional women's football player.
But an accident happened. She followed her father and transferred to such an ordinary middle school. Even the men's football team was facing reconstruction, and the women's football team was completely absent. She suddenly couldn't play football.
For this, Li Qingqing had been mentally prepared for a long time.
She even thought about whether she should just give up on becoming a women's football player.
Later, because she met Hu Lai, she was completely focused on how to help Hu Lai, and she didn't care much about her own situation.
As a result, her father suddenly said something, reminding her that she has not had any systematic training for a long time. What does this mean?
Li Qingqing looked at his father in confusion.
Upon seeing this, Li Ziqiang explained: "I don't think you can continue to be idle like this. Dongchuan Middle School does not have a women's football team, and you can't train with the men's team. So I asked for a relationship to find a women's football team for you outside. They
There is no conflict in the afternoon training and competition every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It happens to be after school, so the conditions are very suitable..."
While Li Ziqiang was talking, he stared at his daughter's face carefully, trying to see the subtle changes in expression on her face.
Sure enough, he saw hesitation on his daughter's face.
"Well...Dad, you don't have to worry, I'm fine just like I am now..."
Li Ziqiang frowned upon hearing this: "Are you going to give up on women's football?"
Li Qingqing did not say a word, but lowered his head.
"You have been practicing hard for so many years, and now you tell me that you are giving up?" Li Qingqing heard his father's voice turn cold. "Are you worthy of your efforts over the years?"
Li Qingqing knew that his father was really angry because he rarely spoke to him in such a tone.
But that was all my father had to say. Then his tone softened a lot: "There are four afternoon trainings a week. It won't delay your study and keep you in shape. I will slowly figure out the next thing."
.You can't really be an ordinary high school student. Being the coach of the middle school football team is my business, not yours. There is no need for you to be tied to me."
"Dad, I'm not tied to you... I just want to come back to see mom and your alma mater..." Li Qingqing retorted.
Li Ziqiang smiled and said: "Then haven't you seen it now?"
Li Qingqing opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
She knew that she could not have any objections at this time. Although her father usually loved her very much, in football, he was as stubborn as a tyrant, which was exactly the same as his image in the Dongchuan Middle School football team.
She smiled at her father and said, "Okay, I listen to you, Dad."
She really couldn't find any reason to reject her father.
Seeing his daughter nodding in agreement, Li Ziqiang smiled: "You have a very good talent, Qingqing, I just don't want this talent to be wasted like this."
"Well, I know, Dad. Then I'll go up."
Li Ziqiang nodded, then watched his daughter step onto the stairs, and then walked up to the second floor step by step.
"Good night, dad." She turned around and waved to Li Ziqiang.
"Good night."
It wasn't until he heard the sound of his daughter's bedroom door closing that Li Ziqiang got up from the sofa in the living room, turned off the lights and walked to his room.
As he closed the door, the light in the bedroom shrank little by little, and finally disappeared completely into the living room.
After returning to his room, Li Ziqiang sat down in front of his desk and breathed out softly.
Hu Lai's performance in training made him realize that his method of trying to get this kid to give up was not working. Now he not only got the chance to play in the game, he even scored a goal by mistake.
, then it would be even less likely for him to voluntarily quit the team.
At the same time, Hu Lai's performance made it impossible for Li Ziqiang to come up with any excuse to fire him.
Otherwise, a striker who just scored a goal in the qualifiers was fired by the head coach... How will he face the doubts of other players? How can he lead the team when the people's hearts are gone? Will he have to find a new one?
A job?
Of course not.
Since he couldn't touch Hu Lai, he could only find a breakthrough from his own daughter.
Now, he finally succeeded in getting his daughter away from Hu Lai. At least when he went home to eat, he didn't have to think about how to face his daughter's euphemistic questions about Hu Lai...

Li Qingqing was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. Her hair had been dried with a hair dryer, but she was in no hurry to lie down and fall asleep.
It had been a long time since she had played football seriously. The secret training session with Hu Lai in the small open space behind the house was not considered serious football, but she didn't feel there was anything wrong.
I go to Dongchuan Middle School every day, watch Hu Lai’s training in the afternoon, and go to the stadium to watch games on weekends, looking forward to Hu Lai’s appearance...
She is almost used to this kind of life after coming to Dongchuan.
It wasn't until today that her father found a team for her to train and compete with. She then remembered that she was actually a professional women's football player and that she would take the path of professional women's football in the future...
If it had been in the past, she would have agreed without hesitation. After all, she has been training under her father since she was four years old, and playing football has almost become her instinct.
Just now, when her father brought up this matter, the first reaction in her mind was... "What should I do about Hu Lai?"
It's a bit ridiculous now that I think about it. What does Hu Lai have to do with me?
At first, I was worried that he would not be able to make the school team. Now he not only made the school team, but also played in the game and scored goals in the game.
At that time, I just wanted to help him join the school team, so now that he has joined the school team, I don't need to be by his side anymore, right?
What other reason and position does she have for doing this? She and he are neither relatives nor friends. If there is any relationship, they are just classmates.
Yes, he and I are just classmates...
Li Qingqing was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, resting her chin on her knees, looking out the window at the dark night sky and sighing.

Song Jiajia stood in front of her washing machine, holding a plastic bag in her hand.
He held his breath first, then opened the plastic bag, took out Hu Lai's jersey, shorts and socks from the plastic bag with two fingers, and then threw them into the washing machine.
Then select the program, pour the laundry detergent, and after completing the set of actions, the sound of water filling can be heard in the washing machine.
After finishing all this, Song Jiajia did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood in the living balcony, looking down at the yellow jersey tumbling in the drum washing machine in trance.
After just a few seconds, Song Jiajia raised her head, sighed, and uttered this soul torture deep in her heart:
