Chapter 27: First Advertising Contract?

Brandt, Son Heung-min, and Kramer excitedly hugged Li Kang.

The other teammates' expressions looked a bit awkward.

After thanking the away fans who had followed the team on the road,

A system notification sounded in Li Kang's mind.

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission: Shining Dream Theater!】

【Individual performance rating: SSS!】

【Mission reward being distributed... Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: Platinum Treasure Box!】

Post-match press conference.

Facing the venomous media of the Premier League,

Van Gaal engaged in a verbal battle with the scholars.

He angrily grabbed the tactical board, continuously explaining how Li Kang's arrival had changed both attack and defense for Lewokusen!

"You guys don't know shit!"

"That Dragon Descendant kid has revitalized the entire Lewokusen team!"

"It feels like Manchester United was suddenly given a completely different opponent!"

This phenomenon.

Happening to Van Gaal is not surprising.

But I've never heard him praise any opposing player before!

The reporters hurriedly scribbled away.

On the other side,

Lewokusen's press area.

In front of Schmidt, it remained deserted.

It seemed as if everyone thought the team's equalizing two goals had nothing to do with him as head coach!

Player representative Calhanoglu also looked embarrassed.

That night.

Li Kang declined the teammates' gathering invitation.

He returned alone to his hotel room.

He eagerly opened the system interface!

A radiant treasure chest hovered before his eyes.

【Platinum Treasure Box opening...】

【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: Injury Immunity Physique!】

The moment the treasure chest opened,

it turned into a flash of white light.

enveloping Li Kang.

In the distant East,

the major online platforms of the Dragon Kingdom

exploded completely.

《Shining Old Trafford Stadium's Super Dragon Descendant! 》

《Lewokusen's Secret Weapon! 》

《Turning the Tide! Radiant New Star! 》

《Van Gaal: I didn't lose to Lewokusen, I lost to the Dragon Descendant! 》

Comment counts and likes surged.

-【Can't hate him anymore, even though I don't buy his jersey, but after all he's a descendant of our Dragon Kingdom people—keep fighting out there, and definitely don't come back!】

-【He can't come back! He once played for Spain's national youth team in an intercontinental competition—just like Arteta's situation!】

-【I said Li bro is awesome—my happy beans have multiplied several times! Hehe!】

-【How can Manchester United compare to before? Can a single stunning performance represent true ability? Li Kang will surely shine all season—whichever team he plays for, that's where my happy beans will go!】

The next day.

Just returned to Lewokusen,

the staff immediately brought Li Kang to Wo Le Er's office.

"My little genius, you're simply amazing!"

"Congratulations on getting your first advertising contract in life!"

"From your hometown! Dragon Phone!"

Advertisement?

Dragon Phone?

Wo Le Er firmly patted Li Kang's shoulder.

He handed over a contract.

Li Kang glanced at it briefly.

He felt slightly surprised about the portrait rights and profit share.

Half an hour later.

Li Kang arrived at Lewokusen's dedicated filming base.

This filming base was built after Wo Le Er took charge—first‑class facilities, but rarely used.

Li Kang! My fellow countryman! Great to see you!

Familiar Chinese.

A tall Dragon Kingdom man walked up earnestly.

He extended his large hand.

I am the head of Dragon's German branch, Zhang Wei!

Li Kang politely smiled in response.

He has always been very enthusiastic toward his Dragon Kingdom compatriots.

Zhang Wei gripped his hand and refused to let go, starting to talk incessantly.

Wo Le Er furrowed his brow, urging: "I hope your company can seize the time..."

On the way to the filming site.

Zhang Wei was somewhat excited, saying: "Li Kang! Your performance last night at Old Trafford was amazing! Our Dragon Kingdom online platforms are all your video highlights! One person's power! Turning the tide! Our Dragon Kingdom compatriots can also..."

Li Kang didn't pay much attention.

Zhang Wei's words were a bit exaggerated.

It's 2015 now; the heat from a Champions League qualifier won't make Dragon company sign a contract that quickly, right?

According to my previous life's timeline, perhaps a certain Bundesliga star canceled the cooperation with Dragon phone.

I became the new substitute.

The filming site has been set up.

Most of the on-site staff are Dragon Kingdom people.

A very eye-catching cute girl walked over.

She smiled slightly: "Li Kang, I am Wang **! You kick the ball really well!"

Zhang Wei quickly said: "Yes yes yes, ** is your partner for this advertisement endorsement."

He patted Li Kang's shoulder, a flash of inspiration, and added: "You definitely heard her songs when you were young."

Wang **'s smile stiffened.

The atmosphere became awkward.

The Dragon phone advertisement is very simple.

Li Kang looked around, but didn't see a football.

The big-bearded director sized up the two: "No need to look at the script; you two just keep tapping the phone screen together!"

"You need one finger from each person!"

"Get a little closer! Oh! Come stand even closer!"

"Li Kang, don't stay so far from Wang **!"

"Yes! Extend your index finger! Why are you extending your middle finger? Not to pick, but to tap!"

"Press harder! Add a bit more force, beautiful! Come on! Smile together at the camera!"

Li Kang struggled to control his expression.

Shadows in his mind spread wildly.

The feminine scent that came over him... emitted a pungent foul odor.

Couldn't end that quickly.

The two put on the latest Dragon watch.

Next, they will demonstrate the interactive functions of the Dragon phone ecosystem.

The advertisement director stared at Li Kang and Wang **, stroked his big beard, turned to Zhang Wei and said: "We can shoot a Valentine's Day limited edition advertisement in advance!"

Zhang Wei quickly nodded, smiling: "Makes sense, Dragon Kingdom has many Valentine's Days throughout the year... Mr. Wo Le Er, we can add money!"

Wo Le Er shook his head: "No intimate contact allowed! Our Leverkusen players must maintain a positive, healthy image!"

That night.

A 40-second mobile phone advertisement short film was produced.

Simultaneously released on various short video platforms in Dragon Kingdom, it quickly rose to the hot search list.

The short film's content is very simple.

The opening is a beating heart-shaped animation.

Cheerful BGM.

Li Kang and Wang ** stand together.

Their index fingers tapped the new phone on the table.

The background hue begins to change.

The entire scene immediately turns into a bullfighter's palace.

The BGM also turns into a B minor waltz.

Second beat.

The background they are in has already become the steam age.

The BGM also turns into a long whistle sound.

Third beat.

Fourth beat.

Fifth beat.

The two seem to have traveled through time and space, finding themselves in different eras.

Finally.

The picture dimmed.

The advertisement's entire background turned pink.

The number of comments and shares surged.

-【Damn! Dragon Do Film Industry keeps up with the times! Didn't invite a certain German Bundesliga superstar!】

-【Valentine's Day limited dog food... it's lethally toxic.】

-【Li Kang is very warm-hearted towards his Dragon Kingdom compatriots!】
