"Clear rules?" Luo Tai was puzzled; this was quite an interesting way to put it.

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, everything in the entertainment industry is out in the open. For example, how newbies should behave, various relationships, and their status in the industry—everyone knows these things. Sometimes the entertainment industry is like a grand party, where everyone is constantly acting to attract public attention. When society pays attention, people will invest money."

Luo Tai clicked his tongue and then said, "You're so young, yet you see things so clearly."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "After being here for a long time, you understand these things. In fact, the entertainment industry is just a highly concentrated microcosm of society. Because of its strong ability to attract money, things change very quickly here. In other industries, it might take years to see the human nature and the coldness of the world, but in the entertainment industry, it can be evident in just one or two months."

Luo Tai couldn't help but nod and said, "I've learned a lot."

"Hehe, okay, is there anything else you want to ask?" Liu Yifei said.

"One last question, and this is on behalf of Sun Pangzi." Luo Tai said.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "Are you and Sun Pangzi a couple? Don't you have any questions of your own?"

Luo Tai shook his head and said, "I don't have any."

Liu Yifei shook her head speechlessly and said, "OK, OK, go ahead, what's the question?"

"Um, I'm asking for him, um... do you have a boyfriend?" Luo Tai said.

Liu Yifei's face changed instantly, and she looked a bit angry. Luo Tai quickly said, "If you don't want to say, that's fine. I don't want to get beaten up for him. Sorry."

"Ha!" Liu Yifei suddenly laughed again. Luo Tai sighed and said, "Your rapid emotional changes are hard for me to adapt to. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back to sleep."

"No." Liu Yifei spat out two words.

"Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? I don't have a boyfriend." Liu Yifei repeated irritably.

"Oh~~" Luo Tai nodded and said softly, "Then Sun Pangzi can continue to fantasize."

Liu Yifei smiled helplessly and said, "But your 'couple' Sun Pangzi, I'm not interested." With that, she walked forward in large strides.

Luo Tai caught up and said, "We are good friends, not a 'couple'..."

In the following days, the football team continued to train. Luo Tai also noticed a detail in his daily life: merit points were not only awarded for completing significant tasks but also for small acts of kindness, such as helping an old lady cross the street, picking up trash and putting it in the bin, or giving up a seat on the bus to someone in need. Of course, these rewards were small, ranging from 1 to 5 points.

But these small acts added up over time, and Luo Tai felt that the watch was like a record of his daily good deeds. Conversely, spitting or urinating in public would deduct corresponding merit points. Therefore, Luo Tai began to pay attention to his every action.

Unconsciously, Luo Tai accumulated his merit points from 38 to 68, but it would take a long time to reach the level needed for a draw.

"Quick, quick, pass the ball, pass the ball. I told you, Tiebusan, don't hold the ball, pass it out... Shoot... Sigh... Why didn't you block it? Even I, a cripple, have more strength than you." Brother Feng's voice echoed on the field every day.

As time passed, the players gradually developed a sense of the game and could perform some basic tactical maneuvers. They also began to see Luo Tai as the soul of the team, as he was the only one with professional skills.

Through training and practice, Luo Tai's ball skills gradually matured.

Ah Xing continued to train separately, and his ball skills improved rapidly. He could fully control his footwork, and his ball control and juggling skills were almost on par with Luo Tai's.

Luo Tai and Ah Xing gave the team a lot of confidence. The senior brother said to Brother Feng, "With these two on our team, we should be fine."

But Brother Feng wasn't very happy these days. Although Luo Tai and Ah Xing were doing well, the others were far behind. He replied to the senior brother in a serious tone, "Football isn't a game for just one or two people."

After two weeks of training, Brother Feng arranged a friendly match. The opponent, just like in the movie, was the Overlord Team, who came onto the field with wrenches and hammers.

Luo Tai and Liu Yifei were very excited about this match because they knew that after this game, the seniors' potential would be fully unleashed. Luo Tai was now considering what role he should play in this match.

On that day, the team members, wearing yellow Shaolin-style uniforms, came to the field. They lined up, with Ah Xing at the front and Luo Tai second. Across from them was the Overlord Team, wearing white tops and red shorts. Their captain looked very thin, wearing glasses, and seemed more like a scholar than a football player.

Luo Tai had specially designed a yellow cheerleader uniform for Liu Yifei. It was tight and very sexy. She stood on the east side of the field.

After both teams were in position, Brother Feng walked to the center with a ball. He looked at both sides and said to the glasses-wearing man, "Ah Heng, there was some misunderstanding between my players and your team last time. Since so much time has passed, I hope you won't hold it against us. So, today we are having a friendly match to turn swords into plowshares. My players are very sincere about making amends."

The glasses-wearing man politely nodded at Brother Feng and then smiled, saying, "If Brother Feng says so, how can we not give you face? Moreover, from the neat uniforms and friendly looks of your players, I can deeply feel their sincerity and the spirit of friendly sports..."

"Do you have any objections to me being the referee?" Brother Feng asked.

"Of course not, Brother Feng is the golden right foot of the football world, and you were a legend in your time. So, it's very appropriate for you to be the referee..." the glasses-wearing man said politely.

"Clang!!!" As he was speaking, a long steel wrench fell from his crotch.

Everyone was shocked...

"Don't be nervous." The glasses-wearing man slowly bent down to pick up the wrench, holding it in his hand, and said, "I am a professional car mechanic, so it's very appropriate for me to carry a wrench..." He then tucked the wrench into his waist.

"Clang..." Just as he finished speaking, an iron hammer fell from his crotch...

"As I said, I am a car mechanic, so it's also reasonable for me to carry a hammer." He picked up the hammer and tucked it back into his waist.

The senior brothers all stared at him in disbelief.

Brother Feng shook his head and said to the glasses-wearing man, "Alright, alright, your Overlord Team is known for its rough style in the amateur league. I just hope you can be a bit more restrained today."

"Rest assured, Brother Feng, we will definitely abide by the sportsmanship..." the glasses-wearing man said with a smile.

After both teams were in position, Brother Feng placed the ball in the center and blew the whistle to start the match.

At the start, Luo Tai got the ball and dribbled it. "Brother Luo~~" Ah Xing had already rushed into the Overlord Team's territory.

Luo Tai lifted his foot and passed the ball to Ah Xing.

At that moment, Ah Xing was about to control the ball when suddenly, six figures flew from six directions, kicking up dust as they charged at Ah Xing like six ground cannons.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Six different feet instantly kicked Ah Xing, making him see stars.

Seeing this, Luo Tai thought to himself, "Damn, they're already starting to fight..."

Indeed, just like in the movie, this match was destined to turn from a football game into a brawl!!!
