Chapter 39

(Remember to beg for recommendation votes)

Luotai's watch displayed the following: Helping the Shaolin team register and obtain the qualification to participate, earned 300 points of merit, with a total of 368 points; completing the task of becoming a main player of the Shaolin football team, received two additional rewards: first, a booster card (valid for 24 hours); second, a song was given to him.

Note: The booster card is used during the lottery, which can increase the probability of drawing the desired item to 70%. The song is given in the form of a CD, and listening to it will boost the morale of the team members.

After seeing this display, Luotai was very pleased. With 300 points of merit, he could draw twice. And this booster card was incredibly good, basically guaranteeing the item he wanted. With a 70% chance, it would be too unlucky if he didn't get it!

Taking advantage of the momentum, Luotai immediately checked the items available for the lottery: 1. Vajra Leg Technique Level 7 (permanent); 2. 1 million units of the world's currency (valid for 8 months); 3. Gun Skills Level 7 (permanent); 4. Flying Dagger Technique Level 8 (permanent); 5. English Level 9 (permanent); 6. Send your partner back to reality and erase all memories of this world; 7. Butcher Knife Technique Level 8 (permanent).

Seeing the items for this lottery, Luotai was surprised. This time, the options were incredibly powerful, with almost no disadvantageous ones, and almost all were permanent skills! He calmed himself down and carefully read through them again, confirming that there were no mistakes.

Phew, Luotai took a deep breath and began to consider where to use the booster card. Each skill looked good, although Luotai wasn't sure what the Butcher Knife Technique was. Was it for butchering? And it was Level 8, which was quite high.

The Flying Dagger Technique was easy to understand; learning it would make him as accurate as Li Xiaolong when using hidden weapons. The 1 million units of currency were immediately ruled out by Luotai. He wasn't in such urgent need of money anymore. When the football team performed well, media exposure and advertising rewards would come in. So this option could be ruled out.

Another option was to send Liu Yifei back to reality, and she would forget everything about this world. In other words, it would be as if she had just slept in the airport lounge and had never met him.

If he didn't choose this option, then the Vajra Leg Technique Level 7 was his top choice. Although it was one level lower than A Xing's, it was enough to handle a series of matches. This skill would also be very useful outside of football, and no one would dare to underestimate his leg strength in the future.

While he was hesitating, Liu Yifei came to Luotai's side, patted him, and said, "What are you doing? We've finished registering, and Brother Feng is asking us to go back to plan the tactics for tomorrow."

Luotai glanced at Liu Yifei, then grabbed her and pulled her out of the registration hall to a quiet small playground. He said, "Now the old immortal has given you a chance to return to reality directly, without waiting for me."

"Now?" Liu Yifei was stunned and then asked, "Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you about this. If you go back now, only about an hour will have passed in reality. You'll be in the airport lounge, and the plane probably hasn't taken off yet. You won't miss anything," Luotai said seriously.

"What about you?" Liu Yifei asked.

"I'll still be here. I have to complete my mission. You forgot, I need to help the Shaolin team win the Super Cup," Luotai said.

"Then..." Liu Yifei hesitated, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she slowly said, "Then... will we see each other again?"

"Ha ha." Luotai shook his head and laughed, "What a joke. We'll both return to reality eventually. In reality, you're a national star, an idol to many, and I'm just an ordinary electrician. How could we ever meet? And when you go back, you'll forget everything here."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the old immortal will erase this memory for you. When you return to the airport in Jibei, it will be as if you just woke up from a nap. You won't remember anything here. I think this is best for you, as it won't affect your daily life at all," Luotai nodded.

For some reason, Luotai didn't feel that Liu Yifei was happy. Instead, she looked upset, and her bright eyes seemed a bit moist.

"What's wrong?" Luotai asked, "Don't you want to go back now? I remember you wanted to get home as soon as possible when you first arrived. Now the opportunity is here, and you don't have to wait for me to complete my mission."

Liu Yifei glared at Luotai and said, "Do you really want me to leave?"

Luotai was taken aback and said in confusion, "What are you talking about? It's not about whether I want you to leave or not. I'm just considering the practical aspects."

"No," Liu Yifei looked at Luotai and said, "I'm just asking if you want me to leave."

Liu Yifei's eyes shone with a strange light, making Luotai feel uncomfortable. He avoided her gaze and mumbled, "That's a different matter."

"Comrade Luotai!" Liu Yifei said seriously, "I'm only asking if you want me to leave."

"I... don't... want you to leave," Luotai said in a voice so low that only he could hear it.

"Come on, can you speak up?" Liu Yifei said, "You're a big, strong guy, but you sound like a weak girl."

Luotai shrugged and said loudly, "I don't want you to leave! Because you are part of the Shaolin team, and I want you to stay with the team!"

"Ha ha ha~" Liu Yifei laughed.

"But..." Luotai added, "You need to understand that now is not the time for emotional decisions. This opportunity is hard to come by."

"Alright!" Liu Yifei said with a scolding tone, "I know what I'm doing. I want to stay here with you and complete the mission. It's that simple."

With that, she turned and ran back to the hall without looking at Luotai.

Watching Liu Yife's back, Luotai shook his head and muttered to himself, "Women's hearts are truly unpredictable. When she couldn't leave, she insisted on leaving; now that she can leave, she wants to stay."

With that, he started operating his watch. Since Liu Yife wanted to stay, the remaining choices were easier. He definitely needed to choose something that would help him complete his mission. Without hesitation, Luotai used the booster card on the Vajra Leg Technique Level 7.

After using it, Luotai selected the lottery. "Swish" the watch display started to spin...

"Ding~~" The watch stopped and displayed: Congratulations, you have drawn the Vajra Leg Technique Level 7. 150 points of merit deducted, 218 points remaining.

"Swish swish swish~~~" Luotai's body trembled... In an instant, he learned the Vajra Leg Technique. He felt his legs as if they had two engines, not only thicker but also full of power.

Luotai looked around, found a place where no one was paying attention, and then kicked with all his might.

"Bang~~" The stone was instantly kicked away, shattering in mid-air and scattering. A piece of the stone hit a small tree, and "crack!" the tree was broken.

Luotai's leg didn't feel any pain, as if he had developed a hard qi gong.

The noise caught the attention of some workers who were weeding. "What are you doing?" one of them shouted loudly.

Luotai wanted to run, but he felt embarrassed about the broken tree. He had to explain the situation to the worker, and in the end, he had to pay for the damage.

After that, Luotai returned to the training ground with Brother Feng and his fellow disciples. There, Brother Feng detailed the tactics for the first match the next day. Their first opponent was the "Tofu Vajra Team"!

After the briefing, everyone prepared to train for a while. At this moment, Liu Yifei brought a CD player with a loudspeaker. This was all prepared by Luotai, but everyone was puzzled by his intentions.

Luotai smiled and put the CD given by the watch into the player. Soon, an inspiring song, "Kicking Out a Future," began to play, filling the entire playground through the loudspeaker...

The Bodhi tree is not a tree, the bright mirror is not a stand, in the red dust there is no should or should not, originally there is nothing, where can there be dust? Oh~ Mortals just don't understand!

Emperors or beggars, where do heroes come from, whether good or bad, it's hard to be clear, joy in the ups and downs of life! Oh~ Your struggle is so strange?

Oh, oh, oh~ People are not just for the game.

Oh, oh, oh~ No need to worry about success or failure.

Amitabha...
