1. A new world of paranoia

Not all paranoids in this world can become successful people, but as long as they are successful, they must be paranoid.

Jiang Qi is one of the paranoids.

He is a CM fan, that is, a big fan of the game Champion Football Manager, from CM01~02 to FM2012, but Jiang Qi has never missed the updated version of this football management game, and even each version will play for more than ten seasons.

Of course, this is not enough to become a footnote to define him as paranoid, because there are by no means a few cm fans who are obsessed with such an extent, and what is really amazing is that Jiang Qi persistently operated the version of CM03~04 to the full 100th season!

The time in the upper left corner is displayed as May 17, 2102, which is the last league game of the 2102~2103 season, and before that, Jiang Qi started to lock the league championship in advance when there were five rounds left in the league, plus the Champions League and Cup that ended before, this veritable century season is finally going to end with the perfect ending of the triple crown.

The last league game, won or lost, has lost its competitive meaning, and the only thing that is commendable is its existence as an end point in time.

Jiang Qi soaked in a glass of oolong, lit a cigarette, and then pressed the left mouse button to hit the "start" button in the game state, but his thoughts had already drifted to ten years ago.

At that time, he was still a freshman in high school, and he bought this CM03~04 at a genuine game store counter in one of the largest local digital plazas, Jiang Qi still remembered that the boss told him a little mysteriously, "This is a limited edition of special editions, and it is said that there will be hidden plots after playing for 100 seasons!" ”

is such a selling point that sounds boring and illusory, but Jiang Qi has been stubborn to this day.

The process of the game is very fast, although after more than 20 seasons Jiang Qi has no players in the lineup he is familiar with, but the scouts hired by the high salary of various scouts from all over the world are still diligently bringing in talented teenagers from all over the world year after year, so that Jiang Qi can consistently maintain the strength of the team. In addition, the opponent in the last game is just a weak team in the middle and lower reaches of the league rankings, and there is no desire to succeed in relegation early, and both sides have the attitude of a friendly match to complete the last journey of this season, so naturally there is no need to change tactics and other recklessness......

Therefore, the cigarette that Jiang Qi lit at the end of the game was only half burned.

"Continue playing" and click on.

After a series of prompts, all kinds of news came one after another, nothing more than to receive praise Balabala, the awards were released on the list of Balabala, and the fan representatives spoke excitedly saying that the team has a great head coach Balabala, and the club president was overjoyed to open up a new era Balabala......

Just when Jiang Qi clicked on the last piece of news, suddenly a voice came out of this antique T40-

"Teenager, congratulations on completing your unprecedented journey as a football manager, exchanging a century of glory and glory with your perseverance and hard work, and welcoming you to a new world of your own!"

"Young man, big head! We're all 25 years old, and the man who recorded the recording doesn't consider the reasonable surname of the language......"

Of course, Jiang Qi, who complained about it, didn't expect that ten years ago, few people would start his speech with the word "teenager", and he didn't have a chance to think about it anymore, a bright light came out of the screen of T40 and shrouded Jiang Qi's whole person......

After a brief moment of dazzle, everything was calm again, but Jiang Qi was gone, leaving only a half-burned cigarette rolling down to the ground and a wisp of smoke rising from it......

……

Jiang Qi woke up lying on the table.

"It turned out to be a dream ......", he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to stretch his waist to soothe his numb arm, but he was stunned to find that the scene had changed around him.

What I was lying on it just now was no longer the gray old desk in the bedroom, but a large solid wood desk, on which there was a row of sky-blue file shelves, which were filled with various documents with various labels, three telephones, and a fax next to it.

He rubbed his eyes, after making sure that this was not his hallucination, he sat down in the boss chair behind him half shocked and half confused, and the only thing in front of him that Jiang Qi was familiar with and could have a sense of security was the T40 quietly placed there on the desk, and the game screen of CM03~04 was still on the screen, but it seemed to look a little different roughly.

Before he could carefully scan the difference, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" , Jiang Qi settled down, is the mystery finally about to be revealed......

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. President, please come over for a moment." , The one who entered the door was a middle-aged uncle, with slightly curly brown hair and blue eyes, he was clearly a foreigner, and he was also speaking a grunting bird language, but it was strange that Jiang Qi could understand it and automatically filter it into Chinese.

"Good ......", although the current situation is a bit unbelievable, Jiang Qi has stabilized his mind, and he keeps silently reciting the six-character online proverb of "If you come, you will be safe", obviously mentally prepared to cross the heterotopic plane.

There was a guide to open the way, passing through some narrow corridors and stairs, and the middle-aged uncle motioned for Jiang Qi to go in alone.

Pushing open the door with the nameplate of "President's Office", the first thing that catches his eye is a flag that he is very familiar with.

"Surprised, huh?"

Such a bland question was said in Mandarin, which immediately attracted Jiang Qi's attention. Also sitting on the boss's chair behind the wide desk, a man with obvious Chinese blood with facial features sitting there, looking like he should be forty or fifty years old, Jiang Qi looked at him a little familiar, and after carefully looking at it for a moment, the surprise on his face became stronger, because the man in front of him was three or four points similar to his appearance.

What shocked Jiang Qi even more was the second sentence he said next-

"Teenager, congratulations on completing your unprecedented journey as a football manager, exchanging a century of glory and glory with your perseverance and hard work, and welcoming you to a new world of your own!"

"This! It's ......"

"To put it simply, this is the hidden plot that you have experienced a century later in CM03~04, a real version of the world of champion football managers, and now I sincerely welcome you as the president of the club to join us, become a real football manager, and create your own legend!"

The man in front of him stretched out his hand to express his sincerity, and the flag behind him also fluttered slightly at the same moment, and the red and black colors on it were like two intertwined rivers.

Here it is...... Ac milan!
