Chapter 258: Chaotic Death Squad (Daily Transition)

Koenigsegg's deliberately crafted business label is aloof, minority, ghostly, extreme, conquering.

The king among supercars.

Regardless of whether the outside world acknowledges it, at least Ke Li Si·Feng sees it that way.

Anyway, they can't produce many cars in a year.

The signing ceremony was quickly completed.

Ke Li Si·Feng held a white shirt and flowered underpants.

His bald forehead reflected the white light, and he smiled mysteriously: "Li! You are to play my younger self on the billboard..."

The assistant's mouth twitched.

It's fine, as long as we don't let Li shave his head...

"To show Koenigsegg's sincerity in cooperation, I will specially give you a..."

Feng Tu smiled mysteriously and reached back to feel.

The big-bearded director and the crew had numb expressions...

Exactly.

Still the same procedure as last year.

"Deng deng deng deng~"

A car model was shoved into Li Kang's hand.

Feng Tu laughed loudly: "Do you like it? It will surely become a commemorative item that our descendants will be proud of."

Li Kang smiled and nodded, politely shaking the outstretched hand.

The magnesium lights flashed a few times.

The staff quickly posted the photos and prepared documents to Koenigsegg's official social media account.

"The Lone King! Legendary Handshake."

Still that basement.

Dozens of filming staff bustled back and forth.

No female partner, huh.

Even the tea-serving crew are male.

The big-bearded director felt moved and muttered to himself:

"Li's commercial image cannot find any female star of matching stature worldwide; he needs no vulgar interaction to draw attention, Koenigsegg's promotional film must be a work of art..."

Feng Tu quickly waved his hand to interrupt, frowning:

"That's because the top few supermodels all took on Bugatti endorsements!"

"What work of art? I invited you to shoot something that makes money! Li is to play my younger self, retracing the birth process of the great supercar brand."

"In 2017, our goal is to produce thirty supercars!"

The assistant opened the one-page script, expression stiff.

Li Kang came out of the changing room.

The advertisement shoot officially began!

The big black cloth in the middle of the shooting base was suddenly flung open!

A supercar full of power appeared before everyone.

Koenigsegg Agera!

Of course, it is not the protagonist of the first act.

Li Kang, wearing a white shirt and flowered underpants, first partnered with an assembled motorcycle, a row of frozen chicken, and a "nonexistent" wealthy father.

"Perfect."

"The Lone One."

"Legendary!"

That night.

The shooting crew's efficiency was extremely high.

Koenigsegg's second promotional film was fresh out of the oven.

"When Dreams Come Into Reality!"

It instantly exploded across the net.

The homepages of major automobile and sports media all relayed this cross-industry collaboration.

Anticipated by all!

Fans worldwide eagerly clicked the play button.

But the video content lacked the passionate fervor of the first promotional film...

It turned out to be a black-and-white silent film!

The opening quoted the old movie "Absolute Wall Racing" from the 1970s.

A young child in the audience excitedly waved his fists.

"Father, when I grow up, I want to make a car like the one in the movie!"

The camera cut.

The picture gradually gained distinct colors, with a heavy filter lending the tone of 1990s film.

The "young Feng Tu" in a white shirt and flowered underpants rode a motorcycle speeding through the mountains, with a piece of frozen chicken mounted on the rear seat.

"Young Chris von, to realize his childhood dream of making cars, became a chicken magnate!"

Immediately followed.

The speed of scene changes is getting faster and faster.

The 1996 test wind tunnel.

The 2002 Paris Motor Show.

The 2004 Geneva...

Young Koenigsegg stunned the world with one era‑defying supercar after another.

Finally.

The number "2016" burst forth.

An exaggerated‑line supercar speeds along the mountain roads of the vast Nordic wilderness!

As the camera pulls back, the winding road seems to stretch endlessly out of frame.

Passionate BGM, the roar of a beast!

The Koenigsegg Agera pushes speed to the extreme!

Blood surges.

At the end credits.

The picture suddenly slows.

Li Kang's figure in the car flashes by.

Comment and like counts surge.

-【Why don't Nordic people promote the craftsman spirit?】

-【Feng Tu's rise to wealth can be compared to my experience: after graduation I struggled for years, finally saved 3000... plus the 500,000 my dad gave me, I managed the down payment on a house!】

-【Not that exaggerated; although Feng Tu's wealth story is heavily packaged, it still counts as a successful second‑generation… eighth‑generation rich!】

-【A 15 million euro annual endorsement fee? I thought Koenigsegg would never hire an endorser—just how high is Xiao Li Zi's commercial value now?】

-【If not limited to sports stars, his influence ranks in the world's top ten; speaking purely of football, he's between third and fifth globally.】

-【Is Li Mingdeng, in a white shirt and flowered shorts, playing Feng Tu?】

-【I can't afford the products he endorses anymore...】

-【We're about to play in the Champions League! Our opponent is the Eredivisie champion PSV Eindhoven—how can he still be doing ads?】

-【Even if Li Kang doesn't play, couldn't Arsenal still beat PSV Eindhoven?】

-【Who's still worried about Arsenal! I'm afraid Barcelona might not get past Monaco—Messi's serious injury, no idea when he'll return.】

-【Even a rotting ship has three pounds of nails—if Barcelona loses again at home to Monaco in the Champions League, Camp Nou will be in an uproar.】

-【Monaco isn't that weak; they have plenty of super talents, the kind who after a few years of growth can lock down a starting spot at any European giant...】

The globally viral Koenigsegg ad hasn't affected Li Kang's life.

Perhaps it's because his reward mechanism was dulled early by suppressed dopamine.

His desire for material pursuits has long stayed at a very low level.

He still follows the same routine of daily training and watching videos.

What consumption brings the most pleasure?

Just buying a few newly released legitimate games...

As for building a business empire, constructing a wealth map—

He simply doesn't think about those things now.

He himself has only had a decent season; strictly speaking, he hasn't established long‑term dominance over European football.

Fleeting geniuses are like carp crossing the river—too many to count.

After 2016, the football world underwent a global tactical overhaul, with clubs becoming ever more cutthroat.

If Arsenal fails to win the Premier League this season and falls in the Champions League round of sixteen,

then a young player's commercial empire will collapse spectacularly.

A player's value is forever reflected on the pitch.

One must be self‑disciplined.

One can't be constantly in touch with girls.

Reading books and playing games are the healthiest forms of recreation.

As long as he lands a few more big‑brand endorsements, Li Kang could at any moment break into the world's top three commercial‑value rankings.

The little assistant is busy to the point of being unable to cope.

Can ads be taken on casually?

No,

The agency behind him is becoming ever more picky, strictly controlling which brands he endorses; no one knows which direction Li Kang's commercial image should be packaged toward—there's no precedent in football history.

Better to not package it at all.

Bayer Group's legal team has dispatched specialists to carefully review each contract...

The sports brands are getting anxious.

Adidas and Nike are locked in fierce competition, yet neither wants to offer a contract surpassing Messi‑Ronaldo levels, endlessly low‑balling each other on price.

Puma, which works closely with Arsenal, can't sit still!

Days just pass one by one.

Champions League match day is approaching.

Li Kang, Morata, Cazorla, Giroud, Zakaria and teammates sit in the living room, watching the clash of the two opponents in their group.

Barcelona vs. Monaco!

Can a bunch of French little black eggs breach Camp Nou?

Putting this question before the match is simply a huge joke.

Even if Meixi, Yinniesita, and Suyalesis, several main players, are unable to play due to injury, not many people would believe Monage could withstand Basa's home ground's fierce attack!

Red and blue flags fluttered.

Nuokanpu was a sea of people.

Basa's team anthem instantly drowned out the voice of the Fajia fans.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The match officially began...

Gradually.

The match situation exceeded everyone's expectations.

Basa spent 1.5 billion to strengthen its midfield and defense, yet actually couldn't withstand the youthful storm of the Fajia powerhouse.

Enlike's brows were tightly furrowed.

Yaerding had full confidence.

Lundun.

Kasuola excitedly clenched his fists:

"Basa's midfield and defense still need time to gel; several young new signings temporarily cannot break through the central defensive line formed by Fabiniao and Bakayueke."

"Monage's defensive focus adjustment speed is very fast!"

"The boy called Mubapei is even stronger than during the European Cup!"

"What is the name of Monage's number 10 midfielder? His talent is too high!"

"Bonaduo Xierwa?"

"His position... is not entirely that of a midfielder!"

"Li, what do you think!"

Asenna's midfield magician accidentally slapped his palm onto Li Kang's thigh.

A red string silently slipped down.

Kasuola's whole body involuntarily shuddered.

【Ding! Bond with Kasuola achieved!】

【You gained an extra ability boost: Dual-foot balance module Lv1→2!】

【Kasuola acquired a passive module: Injury immunity constitution (defective).】

Li Kang's right leg felt a slight numbness.

Could it be that I have obtained a golden right foot?

No.

The increase isn't that exaggerated.

That is Baqiao's 'Golden Left Foot' module; it's impossible for the ability to be easily bestowed onto the right foot.

Unless Kasuola suffers a serious injury one day.

Even if it's the defective injury immunity constitution module... it still requires a serious injury needing long-term recovery.

Only then could I possibly possess a 'Golden Right Foot'.

The television suddenly emitted a series of firecracker-like sounds: 'Goal~Goal!'

Goal!

Not a Basa goal.

It was a Monage goal!

Nuokanpu was instantly shrouded by a name.

「Mbappe！

！」

17-year-old-nine-month-old Mubapei received a wonderful pass from Bxi in the rib area.

Immediately, he repeatedly feinted past Dinie and Wumutiti, churning through Basa's back line, and finally a lofted strike hit Pike's shin, creating an own goal!

0:1.

An unbelievable situation...

Basa actually fell behind again at the kickoff!

Jilu couldn't help but clap and cheer for the national team's little black egg.

"According to this kid's growth speed, our French team in the 2018 World Cup..."

He received no response.

Even Faguo's iron defender Kesiqierni fell into contemplation.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh:

The Faguo team two years later was too enviable.

The new generation of stars shone like spring shoots on the stage of the Ouzhou five major leagues.

Almost every position could produce a top-tier talent.

The combined on-paper lineup strength was extremely terrifying.

A sign of rebuilding a dynasty!

The match ended.

The shooting technique of the young Mubapei still needs improvement.

Neymar could not hold up alone, and teammates Gomes and others repeatedly missed good chances.

Barcelona's dream of a peak four was broken as a Ligue 1 powerhouse cut off the link between midfield and defense.

It was an all‑out attack battle, yet in the end no score emerged that matched the flow of attack and defense.

Barcelona 0:1 Monaco.

Yaerding was held high by the Ligue 1 youngsters.

Enrique stood dazed in the technical area, enduring a torrent of abuse from Catalan fans.

At Camp Nou, it had been many years since they felt panicked about advancing from the group.

Fear.

Fear loomed over the home fans' hearts like dark clouds.

Maguire earnestly took notes on the scratch paper.

Shortly afterward.

The English defender frowned, scratching his head as he held his pen, and concluded: "As long as I don't have to mark that ninja turtle, beating Monaco is easy."

Everyone burst out laughing.

No one objected.

In terms of playing style, Mbappe is Maguire's nemesis.

In the food chain, it's an insurmountable...

He turned off the TV.

The Arsenal players spent a few minutes tidying up before heading home.

The next day.

A London-bound passenger plane pierced the thick clouds over the southern Netherlands.

The Arsenal players arrived at Eindhoven, one of Europe's four major high-tech hubs.

Mentioning the city inevitably brings to mind Philips.

In 1891, Gerard and Anton Philips established their business empire here.

It didn't start out as a razor.

It was a light bulb.

Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the arrivals hall.

Everyone looked relaxed, feeling little pressure.

For this match, Wenger's coaching staff had made thorough preparations.

Eindhoven's tactical style is quite distinct, blending Guardiola-era Barcelona with Wenger's early framework.

In short, it's short passing and movement under high pressure.

Either I'll kill you.

Or you'll kill me.

Over the past two seasons, this Eredivisie champion has topped the big five leagues in goals scored within the opening fifteen minutes.

Often, just a few minutes into the game they can tear apart mid-table sides.

Defense?

Even against stellar sides, they dare to play open, attacking football.

Without a doubt, Eindhoven is one of the favorite clubs of the Joybean fans.

Philips Stadium.

The Champions League star-formation logo shimmered on the center circle of the pitch.

Accompanied by uplifting music.

The referees led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"

"We are now broadcasting the second round of the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League Group C!"

"Eindhoven host Arsenal!"

"The clash that Asian fans remember most between these two teams is the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League knockout tie!"

"Can Wenger tonight erase the shame of the past?"

"Now let's look at the starting lineups for both sides."

"Eindhoven lines up in a 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Zoet!"

"Defenders: Moreno, Milling, Williams, Arias!"

"Midfielders: Van Ginkel, Gudelj, Begovic!"

"Forwards: De Jong, Lodigiani, Pereiro!"

"Arsenal lines up in a 4-2-3-1!"

"Goalkeeper:..."
