Chapter 504: Piggy Flies a Plane: Vision 99, Comprehensive Rating 87!

"Now I will announce the results of this math exam!"

"Feifei, 100 points!"

"Little Dumdum, 99 points!"

Feifei and Little Dumdum's scores were both extremely high, which made Super Qiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Teacher Zhu Zhu walked down from the podium and approached Super Qiang.

"Hehe."

Super Qiang rubbed his hands; it was clear he was very confident, believing he would achieve an excellent result.

"Super Qiang, 0 points!"

"And Bobby, you also got 0 points!"

Teacher Zhu Zhu did not give either of them a good look.

"Huh?"

"Why, Teacher? On what grounds did we get 0 points!"

Bobby opened his mouth wide, so Teacher Zhu Zhu displayed both their test papers: "Copying classmate Feifei's answers would have been one thing, but you even copied her name! Do you take me for a fool?"

"Well, um..."

Realizing their blunder, Super Qiang and Bobby were left speechless.

"Here, I must praise one student: GGBond!"

Teacher Zhu Zhu went to a window seat in the back row; GGBond stared fixedly out the window, as if everything happening in the classroom had nothing to do with him.

"GGBond!"

"GGBond, you're zoning out again!"

Teacher Zhu Zhu called out once more; finally, GGBond turned his head: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Seeing Teacher Zhu Zhu lift GGBond's test paper, he said: "Here I must praise our classmate GGBond; his math exam score is 30 points. However, he scored exactly what he was capable of—30 points—instead of cheating off classmate Feifei's paper like Super Qiang and Bobby did."

Only 30 points.

Yet GGBond's fine character earned the teacher's approval!

The teacher handed the test paper to GGBond: "By the way, classmate GGBond, why did you leave early during the math exam? Did you go to the restroom?"

"Teacher, he ran out to play video games!"

Bobby reported him on the spot.

"What!?"

"GGBond!"

Upon learning that GGBond had left midway through the exam, the teacher flew into a rage.

"How many times have I told you? Whether in class or during an exam, you cannot come and go as you please!"

"I'm sorry, Teacher..."

GGBond felt somewhat aggrieved.

"Don't apologize to me; just think carefully about your own future!"

"A math score of 30? Do you think you can get into university? Since you love moving around so much, I suggest you find Teacher Mihu and join his soccer team!"

"GGBond, you should become a sports-track student."

"As long as it doesn't pour rain during the physical entrance exam, your university dream should be secure."

Beneath the large screen at Wanda Plaza, a huge crowd had gathered, all watching this animated show.

When Teacher Zhu Zhu mentioned having GGBond join the soccer team, the tourists below immediately let out a collective "Wow!"

"Mom."

The little boy tugged at his mother's hand.

"How did Tang Ye turn into a pig? And didn't he already graduate from school?"

The mother said nothing, but the father beside her was already weeping profusely.

"Boohoo, boohoo..."

"Son, what do you know? This is where the dream begins!"

L'Équipe — TY leads the team to win the Asian Cup championship for the first time, scoring 14 goals in 7 matches and breaking the tournament record.

Check Dongqiu Di, reposting from The Sun: Tang Ye posted photos on social media holding the MVP trophy and the Asian Cup Golden Boot; his Manchester United teammates and Kobe liked the post.

As Editor-in-Chief of Marca, Romerose commented: "An unimaginable achievement; I believe Tom has already taken the lead in the 2019 Ballon d'Or race."

As one of the few Asian players in Europe's top five leagues, suddenly leaving the club to participate in the Asian Cup was not actually a very comfortable situation for Tang Ye.

But everything must be viewed from both positive and negative angles.

Participating in an Asian Cup in 2019—a year without a European Championship—and scoring 14 goals while winning the championship.

If the 2019 Ballon d'Or voting had ended in February, the winner would have been beyond any doubt.

The super-fast GGBond is in the leading position.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both hiding behind him!

Following the airport staff toward the plane he needed to board, Tang Ye scrolled through news on his phone.

Ever since winning the championship yesterday, all the news has been about the Chinese team, and he could always see his own face in the news photos.

Of course, there were also exaggerated comments from fans.

【"Awesome! From now on, Tang Ye is my dad!"】

【"You up there wishful thinking much?"】

【"I thought I was dreaming; I woke up and the trending topic was still 'National Football Team Champions,' so it's actually true."】

【High School Gaokao Math Score: 30 Points, Parents' World Collapses. What to Do? Turnaround: Lead the National Football Team to Win the Asian Cup, Gain Direct Admission to Peking University!】

【Direct admission to Peking University? Others go to university; you're going straight into the Sports Bureau.】

"Shit..."

He frowned.

Fame brings trouble; fans had dug up his dark history.

"Is something wrong, Mr.?"

Seeing Tang Ye suddenly stop in his tracks, the airport staff member asked.

"Oh, nothing, nothing."

"Welcome to visit Abu Dhabi again."

"..."

Once aboard the plane, Tang Ye's phone rang the very next second.

【Mr. Sitting Like】

"Hmm?"

"Mr. Sitting Li—"

"Fuck, hurry back! Has the plane taken off yet? Hiss, never mind, just tell me what time you'll arrive."

Ten Hag startled Tang Ye, who quickly pulled the phone away to protect his eardrums.

"Mr. Sitting Like, I know you're anxious, but please don't rush."

Tang Ye spoke slowly.

After all, he was on a passenger airliner, not a fighter jet; there was no way to reach Manchester that quickly.

After reporting his flight number to Ten Hag, Tang Ye ended the call.

Leaning back in his seat, Tang Ye began to think.

"Sir, would you like something to drink?"

"Coke."

Tang Ye replied, but the flight attendant did not leave immediately.

"It's fine, I don't need food for now; just give me the coke."

"Um, sir, may I have a photo with you?"

The flight attendant asked somewhat shyly.

"Oh, oh, of course."

Standing up from his seat, Tang Ye took a group photo with every flight attendant on the plane, as well as the captain of this flight.

"Do you have an elder in your family who is a fighter jet pilot?"

The captain joked, "I suggest you learn to fly; you have the talent for it."

"Haha, thank you, thank you."

Tang Ye returned to his seat and sat down.

An elder in the family is a fighter jet pilot...

The captain's words reminded Tang Ye of something.

【Mission: Asian Cup Champion (Completed)】

【Reward: An Inheritance from an Ancestor】

The mission was already completed.

But...

Where was the inheritance?

Once the plane stabilized, Tang Ye reclined his seat and slowly fell asleep.

Boom!

Boom-boom!

The surroundings were filled with the sound of exploding artillery shells; Tang Ye suddenly opened his eyes to find Tang Tang Xianmin standing right before him.

"Great-Great-Grandfather!"

"You bastard, spacing out at a time like this? Get on the plane immediately!"

Only after Tang Tang Xianmin scolded him did Tang Ye remember that he had used a pistol to break through the Japanese army's lines while protecting his great-great-grandfather.

"But Great-Grandfather, this plane only has one seat."

"Can't you squeeze in? Don't you know how?"

Tang Ye widened his eyes; the next second, Tang Tang Xianmin pushed him into the cockpit.

"Wow..."

The complex cockpit left Tang Ye somewhat astonished.

"Don't move around recklessly!"

Tang Tang Xianmin gestured for Tang Ye to lean to the side while he himself piloted the plane, preparing for departure.

"Roar-roar-roar, roar-roar..."

Boom!

"You bastard, watch closely; I'll only teach you this once."

Tang Tang Xianmin signaled for Tang Ye to watch his operations: "This black one on the left is the throttle."

"Then what's the one further to the left?"

Tang Ye's finger touched a small lever beside the throttle.

"That's for firing cannons!"

"Oh, oh."

Tang Ye sat very upright.

After flying for over ten minutes, Tang Tang Xianmin took Tang Ye deep into the war zone.

He pressed the weapon button.

"Tang Ye, watch closely. This green one is us. Then I'm going to fly low to find those Japanese devils on the ground!"

Having spoken, Tang Tang Xianmin maneuvered the plane downward.

Tang Ye rested his head against the window to observe and soon spotted a group of Japanese soldiers cooking.

"Grandpa, grandpa, there, there! On the left!"

"Grandpa, hit him, grandpa!"

"Beautiful, grandpa!"

"Ahead, ahead, there are Japanese devils ahead too! Grandpa, get them! Beautiful!"

Bang!

Bang bang!

"Haa..."

Letting out a long breath, Tang Ye woke up in the bumpy plane.

It was a dream...

Although he had already woken up, Tang Ye was still savoring the things he had just dreamed about.

The exact time was unclear, but if calculated by the number of Japanese devils killed, Tang Ye and his Ceng Zufu had killed at least 1,000 Japanese devils.

He just didn't know why he had been having such dreams recently.

【You have obtained... a legacy from an ancestor】

【Vision: 97→99】

【Set Piece: 80→81】

"..."

I, damn...

Tang Ye realized he seemed to have received a somewhat exaggerated reward.

He hadn't experienced the feeling of three attribute points rising in a row for a long time!

Tang Ye (40 years old)

【Ball Control: 88; Passing: 92】

【Shooting: 80; Heading: 60; Set Piece: 81】

【Speed: 78; Stamina: 76; Physicality: 85】

【Defense: 75; Vision: 99】

Overall Rating: 87

Vision rose by 2 points, and Set Piece also rose by 1 point.

Most importantly, his Overall Rating changed from 86 to 87!

Slapping his head, Tang Ye still needed a little time to snap out of the dream just now.

The method of obtaining the reward was slightly strange.

But one had to admit, the reward for the Asian Cup championship was truly generous!

2019 UAE Asian Cup Official Best XI (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Yassine Bounou (Qatar)

Defenders: Zhang Zhang Linpeng (China), Abdulrahman Al-Rawi (Qatar), Kim Min-jae (South Korea), Wang Wang Shenchao (China)

Midfielders: Akram Afif (Qatar), Tang Ye (China), Wataru Endo (Japan)

Forwards: Wu Lei (China), Ali Maktoum (Qatar), Sardar Azmoun (Iran)

Head Coach: Marcello Lippi (China)

Sports Weekly — CCTV hoped to invite Chinese national team players as special guests for the Spring Festival Gala, but was politely refused by the players.

"Tang Ye, Wu Lei, and Zhang Zhang Yuning have all returned to Europe. If the 23 Asian Cup players are not complete, other Chinese national team players are also unwilling to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Additionally, Chinese national team players believe that one Asian Cup championship cannot eliminate the public's prejudice against Chinese football; they hope to wait for more time to prove themselves."

The Sun — The Mancheng dressing room video incident is still under investigation. The cleaner's identity is currently unclear, but it can be confirmed that the cleaner has caused significant trouble for the Mancheng club.

Mancheng Official: Regarding the dressing room video incident investigation results, Etihad Stadium staff were bribed by The Sun reporters. The employee has now been dismissed by the team.

After Mancheng released the announcement, The Sun immediately used news of Tang Ye arriving at Manchester Airport to attract fans' attention.

And the newspaper's move did succeed; the attention of Mancheng fans who were previously cursing The Sun was completely diverted.

They are under great pressure now.

The full-strength Manchester United will arrive in February; at that time, can Mancheng still hold their position on the league table?

News of Tang Ye arriving in Manchester to prepare for training was released, and Chinese fans were very happy.

They seemed able to project themselves onto Tang Ye.

It was a feeling of a hero returning in glory!

Of course, Tang Ye is currently only a hero of the Chinese national team.

Whether he can become a club hero depends on how Manchester United performs in the league this season.

Check Dongqiu Di's pinned poster: The Premier League's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" resumes filming in February, with Manchester United, Mancheng, and Liwupu staging a battle for the dynasty.

AFC Official: An investigation will be conducted into Tang Ye's act of stuffing five US dollars in cash into the referee's pocket during the final match.

【Still have the nerve to investigate?】

【Investigation result: Revoke the yellow card issued to our Tang Tang Qiuwang.】

【Isn't this just referee corruption? What else is there to say?】

【AFC: Your failure to let my financial backer win the championship is your fault.】

【What's there to investigate? At most a fifty-thousand-dollar fine; GGBond just worked a day for nothing.】

【Go Manchester United!!!】

……

Premier League Official: The Premier League Player of the Month for January is Liwupu forward Salah.

Premier League Standings (as of the end of Round 25):

1. Mancheng, 66 points.

2. Liwupu, 65 points.

3. Manchester United, 64 points.

4. Chelsea, 47 points.

5. Arsenal, 45 points.

"Sigh..."

In the office, Fan Fan Dejiahe covered his head with the newspaper.

At the end of January, Manchester United was still second in the standings, but after the first match in February, they were immediately overtaken by Liwupu.

Considering the upcoming fixtures for the other teams, maintaining a high win rate should not be too difficult for Manchester United.

Then the problem arises!

This season's Premier League is special; all three teams in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" possess ridiculously high win rates.

Looking back to last November and December, Manchester United had been winning continuously to overtake Mancheng!

"Erik, we are too unfortunate."

Fan Fan Dejiahe removed the newspaper from his face and tossed it aside.

"Stay calm."

Ten Hag said softly; on the computer before him were some match statistics for Fulham from this season.

This was their opponent for the next Premier League match.

"Just stay calm, Michel. My father... oh, my Tom is about to return."

Ten Hag tapped his watch: "Today."

……

On February 5th, after one day of adjustment, Tang Ye arrived at the Carrington base in the afternoon.

Getting out of the car, with heavy rain falling at the moment, Tang Ye rejected the driver's suggestion to wait a little longer, because he truly could not wait any more.

"Rod, Marcus! Can you hear me?"

"I'm back!"
