Chapter 57: Sigh
Hulai sat at his desk, the door behind him closed so he couldn't hear outside—Mom and Dad must have closed their bedroom door and watched TV inside.
He looked down at his right wrist, which was bare, clean, and devoid of any ornaments.
The red bracelet was gone after the race, and he didn't even know exactly when it was gone, or how.
At that time, he didn't have time to think about it, but now he thinks about why Luo Kai's shot didn't fly outside the bottom line or anywhere else after hitting the post, but it fell to 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 falling right at his feet should be very low.
But the ball flew to his feet.
So it should be a sign of good luck.
The reason why Hulai can think so is, of course, because he wears a bracelet called "Lover's Red String" on the field, which is used to improve his luck in the game.
Of course, Hulay would not have publicly admitted that he had scored by luck on the outside.
Besides, even if the ball bounced in front of him because of luck, it was first of all running into the emptiness. If someone else is in the center circle, even if it is bad luck, can Luo Kai's shot make the ball hit the post and bounce into the center circle?
So in the final analysis, it's all about strength, and luck is also part of it!
Hulay was firm in his heart.
Then I remembered that after he scored a goal, the system also prompted that the mission was completed and at the same time told him that the system was being upgraded and could not be accessed.
It should be done by now, right?
Thinking of this, Hulai entered the system, intending 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 the star Hulai, from now on, your goals in official matches will be automatically converted into points, and 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 didn't expect that now goals can also be converted into points.
Although a goal is worth 100 points, it adds up.
Moreover, Hulay is convinced that he will score a lot of goals in the future, and these goals will be converted into points.
Then he glanced at his points and found that it had changed from six thousand to seven thousand one hundred, and in addition to the one thousand points rewarded by the task, there was indeed an additional one hundred points.
And the [lover's red rope] in his storage space has disappeared completely because it has been used.
But in the official mall, Hu Lai saw this [Lover's Red Rope] again, which was quietly placed next to the [World Wave Experience Card], with a price tag of 10,000 points.
Sure enough, only after you use this item, the item will appear in the official store and can be purchased with points.
But a question quickly popped up in Hulai's mind: Then why did the two things [Pulp Cleansing Elixir] and [Smart Potion] have been used by him, but they don't appear in the official store?
Could it be ...... These two things can't be bought with points? Can only be rewarded by lottery or mission?
At the thought of the lottery, Hulai's face fell. Countless previous facts have proved that his luck in the lottery is not very good, but he is afraid that he will spend all the points in his hand, and he will not be able to draw a bottle of [Pulp Cleansing Elixir] or [Smart Potion].
I just don't know if the two primary training scrolls of different items that he hasn't used now can be bought in the mall after using them. If he can exchange his points, then his current points can't be used for lottery draws.
A beginner training scroll can only be used for ten training sessions, but his training sessions are more than ten. In order to obtain a steady stream of training bonuses, he naturally needs to keep using points to buy those training scrolls.
But that's all for later. Now for Hu Lai, the most important thing is whether there are two more charming bunny girls next to the big turntable used in the lottery after the system is upgraded.
He entered the lottery interface.
The large turntable with the marquee was alone in the interface, looking at Hulai.
No bunny girls, no sexy dealers, nothing, exactly the same as before the upgrade.
Simple, shabby.
Only then did Hu Lai react - dare to love the so-called system upgrade, why did he upgrade a function of automatically redeeming points for goals?
Is this embarrassing to say that you are upgrading?
There's just one more feature, that's called patching, okay!
It's also a "system upgrade", what are you pretending to be here!
Because there is no bunny girl, Hulai is angry.
After withdrawing from the system, he sighed heavily in reluctance.

Li Qingqing took a shower in the bathroom and walked out of it with her hair wiped 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.
"Oh, that's right, Qingqing. It's been three months since we've been here, and you haven't been training systematically for almost half a year, right? ”
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why her father suddenly talked about this.
In fact, she decided to follow her father back to Dongchuan because she was mentally prepared to abandon the path of women's football.
Because my father offended people at the original football school, he couldn't continue to stay. So you have to resign and leave.
Although Dad is Dad and she is her, Dad losing his job doesn't mean she will be expelled from football school. Not to mention that she herself is still the main core of the women's football team of the same age group at that football school.
But Li Qingqing still resolutely decided to drop out of school and chose to leave with his father.
She certainly knew that this decision meant that she would most likely lose the opportunity to continue her studies in professional football. After all, it is the best football school in China, with the most professional coaching team and the most top-notch teaching facilities, and sends more than 100 outstanding seedlings of all ages, both male and female, to professional clubs every year.
Barring the odds, she will continue to attend this school, and in a year or two, she will join a professional women's football club and become a professional women's footballer.
But an accident happened, she transferred to such an ordinary middle school with her father, and even the men's football team was facing reconstruction, let alone the women's football team. She couldn't kick the ball all of a sudden.
For this, Li Qingqing has been mentally prepared for a long time.
She even thought about whether she should simply give up on becoming a member of the women's football team.
Later, because she met Hu Lai, she was all focused on how to help Hu Lai, but she didn't pay much attention to her own situation.
As a result, now her father suddenly said a word, reminding her that she has not been systematically trained for a long time, what does this mean?
Li Qingqing looked at his father suspiciously.
Seeing this, Li Ziqiang explained: "I don't think you can continue to be so wasted. There is no women's soccer team at Dongchuan Middle School, and you can't train with the boys' team. So I asked you to find a women's soccer team outside, they practice every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, the time does not conflict, it is just after the school ends, the conditions are very suitable......"
As Li Ziqiang spoke, he stared carefully at his daughter's face, trying to see the subtle changes in expression on her face.
Sure enough, he saw hesitation in his daughter's face.
"This ...... Dad, you don't have to worry, I'm fine now......"
Li Ziqiang raised his face when he heard this: "Are you going to give up the road of women's football?" ”
Li Qingqing didn't say anything, but lowered his head.
"You have been practicing hard for so many years, and now you tell me that you want to give up?" Li Qingqing heard her father's voice and turned cold. "Are you worthy of all these years?"
Li Qingqing knew that his father was really angry, because he rarely spoke to himself in such a tone.
But there was only one sentence of Dad's heavy words, and then his tone softened a lot: "There are four afternoon training days a week, don't delay your study, let you keep in shape, and I'll slowly figure out how to do it after that." You can't really be a normal high school student, it's my business to coach a middle school football team, not yours, you don't have to be tied to me. ”
"Dad, I'm not tied to you...... I just want to come back and see my mom and your alma mater......" Li Qingqing retorted.
Li Ziqiang smiled: "Then haven't you seen it now?" ”
Li Qingqing opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She knew that she couldn't have any objections at this time, and although her father usually loved her very much, he was stubborn like a tyrant in football—exactly like his image on the Dongchuan Middle School football team.
She squeezed out a smile at her father, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad." ”
She really couldn't find any reason to refuse her father.
Li Ziqiang saw that his daughter nodded and agreed, so he 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, and then watched his daughter step up the stairs and then step by step to the second floor.
"Good night Dad." She also turned around and waved at 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 light and walked to his room.
As he closed the door, the lights in the bedroom shrank slightly, and finally disappeared completely into the living room.
Li Ziqiang, who returned to his room, sat down at the desk and sighed softly.
Hulai's performance in training made him realize that his way of trying to make this kid retreat was not working. Now that he has not only been given the opportunity to play, but even has a misguided goal, then he is even less likely to 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 had just scored a goal in the qualifiers was fired by the manager...... How will he face the doubts of other players? When the people's hearts are scattered, how can this team be led? Is he going to find another job?
Of course not.
Since he can't move Hulai, he can only find a breakthrough from his daughter.
Now that he had finally managed to get his daughter away from Hulai, at least when he returned home for dinner, he didn't have to think about how to deal with his daughter's euphemistic questions about Hulai......
※※※
Li Qingqing sat on the bed with her legs crossed, her hair had been dried with a hair dryer, but she was not in a hurry to lie down and fall asleep.
It's been a long time since she's played a serious game — secret training with Hulai in the little open space behind the house isn't serious — but she doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
I go to Dongchuan Middle School every day, watch Hu Lai's training in the afternoon, and go to the stadium to watch the game on the weekend, looking forward to Hu Lai's appearance......
She almost got used to this kind of life after coming to Dongchuan.
To this day, Dad has found her a team to train with. Only then did she remember that she was actually a professional women's football player, and 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 had been trained under her father since she was four years old, and playing football had almost become her instinct.
Just now, when Dad brought this up, the first reaction in her mind was...... "What about Hulai?" ”
It's a bit ridiculous to think about it now, what does Hulai have to do with himself?
At first, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to enter the school team. Now he's not only on the varsity team, he's playing games and he's scoring goals in the game.
I just wanted to help him join the school team at the time, so now that he is in the school team, he doesn't need to be by his side, right?
What other reasons and positions does she have for doing so? I am not related to him, if I have to say that there is anything to do with it, I am just classmates.
yes, he and I were just classmates......
Li Qingqing, who was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, rested his chin on his knees, looked at the dark night sky outside the window and sighed.

Song Jiajia stood in front of her washing machine, carrying a plastic bag in her hand.
He held his breath before opening the plastic bag, pulling Hulay's jersey, pants and socks out of the bag with two fingers and throwing them into the washing machine.
Then the program was selected, the laundry detergent was poured, and a set of actions were done, and the sound of water filling sounded in the washing machine.
After doing all this, Song Jiajia did not leave immediately, but stood on the living balcony, looking down at the yellow jersey churning in the drum washing machine.
After a few seconds like this, Song Jiajia raised her head, sighed, and issued such a soul torture in her heart:
Why should I do Hulai's laundry!?
