Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hu Lai saw the task released by the system, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—Master System, you are really getting better at playing...

Even such a wicked task can be thought of.

Although there is no penalty for failure in this task, but I became the culprit for the team's possible only Europa League final loss 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, ignore it completely-not touch the trophy before the game, so that the task will not be triggered. Even if Leeds City loses by then, he will not be the target of public criticism.

But looking at the two rewards of [World Wave Experience Card] and [Sneakers That Don't Fit Well], and the half a million points... It's hard for Hu Lai to convince himself not to accept the task.

Because no matter whether he touches the trophy or not, whether he has this task or not, he is determined to win the championship.

As the team owner said, since they have won the Premier League championship, why can't they look forward to the Europa League championship?

When they came to the finals, they didn't expect to go back with a runner-up.

Since the champion is to be won anyway, isn't this task reward equal to giving away for nothing?

There is no reason not to accept it!

Especially the [World Wave Experience Card], one million points means that it is impossible for him to exchange his precious points for this thing.

Quests became the only way to obtain...

What do you mean lottery?

After Hu Lai recognized his essence as a non-chieftain, he had already put the lottery interface without a bunny girl in the cold palace.

And not every mission rewards [World Wave Experience Card].

Now that there is a task to reward this, is it possible to just watch the opportunity slip away in front of him?

[World Wave Experience Card] Hu Lai has already experienced this thing in the World Cup.

Although there are still three years before the next World Cup, considering the scarcity of [World Wave Experience Card], it is absolutely no problem to start saving from now on.

If the reward for this task is only 500,000 points and [sneakers that don't fit well], then Hu Lai probably won't be so entangled—if he doesn't answer, he just ignores the cheating system son.

Now this orange [World Wave Experience Card] is so tempting that Hu Lai can't take his eyes off it.

"Gentlemen, get ready!"

The referee came up from behind with his own referee team, holding a football in his hand, and reminded the players of the two teams.

The players of the two teams pulled up the caddy around them one after another.

At this moment, Kamara, who was standing at the end of the line, saw Hou Lai in front of him turn around and said to him, "Ismail, let's change positions."

He meant to go to the end of the line.

Kamala was a little surprised, but still agreed-he had no reason not to agree.

There is no special meaning to this playing position, except that the captain and the goalkeeper must stand in front of the team, there is no hard and fast rule about who stands in what position. Maybe some teams are particular about it, but Leeds City don't.

This is a relatively young team that has been mocked for its lack of history.

But the advantage of lacking history is that there are not so many rules and regulations.

Camara took his caddy one step forward and switched places with Hou Lai.

Hu Lai stood at the end of the line.

Then the two teams moved, and under the leadership of the referee team, they walked towards the stadium outside the passage.

Hu Lai took the hand of the caddy beside him with his left hand, and followed the teammates in front of him to walk out.

※※※

"Finally... the players from both sides have appeared!"

To the loud cheers of the fans,

Amidst the Europa League theme song, players from the two teams filed out from the tunnel.

They walked by the left and right sides of the Europa League trophy, and some people would deliberately stare straight ahead when they passed the trophy, as if they could lose character just by looking at it.

But there are also players who are staring at the trophy and cast burning eyes.

But no matter who they were or what they thought, 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 channel, the TV broadcast cut to the camera above the entrance of the channel, looking down at the backs of the two teams on the field from a 45-degree angle from top to bottom.

Between the two teams, the Europa League trophy shines brightly.

Hu Lai, who was at the end of the line, suddenly stretched out his hand towards the trophy when he passed the trophy!

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 saw it clearly through the lens of this camera!

He got the trophy!

"Eh? Eh?" Shen Lang, who was explaining, was stunned when he saw this scene, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Instead, Shi Wuyin next to him said it directly: "Hu Lai touched the trophy!"

※※※

"Hu Lai touched the trophy!"

When Xie Lan saw this scene and heard Shi Wuyin say this, he was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, and said angrily:

"This bastard!"

As a "veteran football fan" who has watched football for five years, Xie Lan usually learns about various football-related knowledge on the Internet, so how could she not know what her son's move means?

Bad character!

Defeat character!

How could her son, who had always been as stable as an old dog, do such stupid things? !

Has he lost his mind?

Hearing Xie Lan scolding Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang and Hu Lixin looked at each other, and both wisely chose not to persuade Xie Lan at this time.

And in fact, they didn't quite understand why Hu Lai did this.

Although none of them are superstitious people, they still know this unspoken rule.

Why does Hu Lai need to break this unspoken rule?

Do you really believe in evil?

"Damn it! Hu Lai touched the trophy!"

Zhong Shihao pointed at the TV screen, 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 is possessed by a ghost..."

There was an exclamation in the living room.

Even Chu Yifan stared at the screen in surprise, speechless.

When everyone was making a fuss, Yan Yan said: "What's the noise! ​​Have you forgotten who Hu Lai is?"

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

"The chosen one!" Yan Yan pointed to 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 does he still do it? Because he is not afraid of the curse! Was the number 14 the curse number of our Chinese football back then? Hu Lai put it on his body What curse will there be after that? How many people are rushing to wear this number now!"

Speaking of this, Yan Yan paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and then said with satisfaction: "So, what kind of curse... is not worth mentioning in front of our 'Heaven's Chosen One'! I believe Hu Lai The action is meant to tell us - there's no curse he can't beat!"

In silence, Meng Xi shook his head and said, "Good guy, Team Yan...for a while I didn't know if what you said was true..."

"Nonsense, of course it's true!" Yan Yan snorted calmly, "Just wait and see. Originally, I didn't have any 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 hold back her laughter and said, "I know why Yifan called Yan Yan that you are the 'religion leader'! Really, you just now...you are so amazing!"

Yan Yan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, maintained enough respect for his sister and sister-in-law, and softened his tone a lot: "Sister, that's because you don't know Hu Lai enough. But it doesn't matter, you will know after watching today's game with us Why did I say that. Because... Hu Lai on the court will never let you down!"

Tang Xiuyuan felt that Yan Yan still looked like a magic stick, and wanted to continue teasing a few words, but Chu Yifan who was beside her nodded, and helped Yan Yan say something: "Yan Yan is right. Yes Hu Lai, you really need to have some confidence. Anyway, football is not without touching the trophy before the game, and finally winning the trophy. Football is round, and there is no curse that will definitely come true."

He said the last sentence to the other people in the room, telling them to calm down and watch the game.

Is Hu Lai a confident declaration of victory, or is his mind flooded? After the game is over, don't you know?

Only then did everyone turn their eyes back to the TV. In the live broadcast, both teams had completed the pre-match group photo session and were shaking hands with each other.

The commentator Shen Lang and the guest commentator Shi Wuyin also seemed to be deliberately downplaying the fact that Hu Lai won the trophy in advance, and they hardly mentioned it in the follow-up commentary.

※※※

Sevilla Voyagers striker Rafael El Gurez was the only player of the two teams at that time, except for Hou Lai himself, who saw the scene of Hou Lai touching the trophy. Because he was the last player of the Sevilla Voyagers, he was also looking at the trophy, and as a result, he saw Hou Lai's hand reaching for the trophy.

At that time, he was shocked, and he couldn't think of why Hu Lai would do this.

But now when he stood in front of Hu Lai and stretched out his hand, he smiled and said, "I can see it all! Thank you so much!"

He thinks that Houlei's strike brought them good luck for the Seville navigator.

There was also a bright smile on Hu Lai's face: "Thank you, too, for taking the initiative to chat with me. I'm busy now, let's have a good chat later."

El Gurez is at a loss, what's wrong with chatting with you? What's there to be thankful for? Okay to chat? Talk fart talk!

Something wrong with your brain?

He stopped talking, gave Hu Lai a blank look, touched his hand lightly, and then separated.

Because Hou Lai was the last person in the Leeds City team, after shaking hands with Hou Lai, El Gurez returned to his team. He pointed to Hou Lai and gloated at his teammates: "Hey, Guys. I just saw that kid touch the trophy on his way out!"

Hearing what he said, the Sevilla Navigators players all turned around and cast surprised and curious gazes at Hou Lai.

I didn't expect that some people really don't believe in evil!

The players of Leeds City didn't know what happened behind them when they played. Kamara even called Hu Lai to run to his position.

Looking at the ignorant Leeds City players, Victor Montero, the midfielder of the Seville Navigator, grinned: "There are always people who don't believe in fate, so let him see the cruelty of fate."

Luo Kai was sitting in the box, frowning, chatting with his manager Sui Xin: "Hu Lai has another convulsion? Why is he free to touch the trophy?"

Sui Xin spread his hands together: "You can't understand him with common sense."

Hearing what Uncle Sui said, Luo Kai sighed, thinking he was right.

Hu Lai is indeed not the kind of person who should be judged by common sense.

He sighed again, this man is so stupid!

He is not the kind of person who would congratulate Hu Lai from the bottom of his heart after winning the championship. But it doesn't mean that he is the kind of person who just wants Hu Lai to ruin the champion with such a stupid move.

Anyway, this is the first time a Chinese player has the chance to touch the Europa League championship trophy... Can't you fucking wait for the end of the game to touch it openly? At that time, don't talk about touching, you can kiss and lick!

※※※

Lilith had a troubled look on her face.

It's a pity that Qingqing is not here, otherwise I would have to ask why her "good friend" Hu Lai touched the trophy with her hands at this time.

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 sigh from beside her.

Glance over...

She saw an oriental man with black hair and yellow skin, but his face had sharp-edged side lines like a sculpture.

But that doesn't matter.

The most important thing is the unconcealable melancholy in his eyes, like a deep pool of water, sucking Lilith's eyes and heart into it.

Wow, this man...is a bit handsome!
