Chapter 285: Extra: Give You Two Steamed Buns (Free)

Extra: Give You Two Steamed Buns (Free)

Early morning, Barcelona.

Clouds tangled with mist, the entire Gan Bo Training Base seemed shrouded in a white veil.

Messi leaned on his crutches, his hair and training suit soaked with dew, his vision obscured by the heavy fog, unable to see far ahead, but every step under his feet was clear... just like Barcelona's prospects in this season's Champions League.

Moments later.

He finally reached the game room.

He skillfully started the game console, opened a save and selected Chelsea...

Messi liked playing games since his youth; most introverted, shy boys prefer entertainment with less social pressure in their spare time.

Suddenly, a brand-new disc cover caught his attention.

"New model?"

"A coach-type game?"

"Why do they call me Kuxitini? Don't they have portrait rights!"

He didn't think much about it.

Messi opened the package and inserted the disc into the game console.

After the screen finished spinning.

Accompanied by the stirring Champions League BGM, the main interface popped up a black-haired silhouette: Spain number 6—Li Kang!

Messi stared for a moment, then pressed the controller.

"The beginner tutorial can be skipped! This game is not bad, it saves time."

"Where is Chelsea?"

"Could it be that there's no copyright again?"

"Forget it, let's start with Barcelona."

The game's quality in all aspects is still not bad.

The tactical options are especially rich, even including a "trash talk" option.

However, the player's authority as "Head Coach" is especially low; besides setting tactics, regarding transfers and signings, they can only offer suggestions to the club, let alone increase the club's basic facilities.

Messi enjoyed playing it immensely.

The Barcelona save with Kuxitini proceeded smoothly, unstoppable.

Sextuple champion.

91 Kuxitini.

Xavi gradually faded from the roster, the MSN trio formed, Rakitic arrived at Camp Nou... all events matched reality extremely closely.

Unnoticed, the game time arrived at 2015.

He suddenly noticed that a fresh batch of "spring shoots" had sprouted in La Masia's youth academy, one of the youngsters named 'Lee'!

What's there to hesitate about?

Messi selected the "promote to first team" option and frantically pressed the controller.

Bang bang bang!

The club's opposition voices also rose in protest...

He glumly put down the controller.

The game continued.

【July Event: La Masia's 17-year-old youth Li Kang transferred to Lewokusen for a fee of 1 million euros.】

Messi: "..."

Suddenly he felt the game's freedom was too low.

But he still decided to keep playing.

He believed that, based on his understanding of Barcelona's tactical system, the Champions League title for the 2015-16 season was within reach, after all, if he lost a match he could reload.

The white mist outside gradually dissipated.

Messi was unaware of the passage of time.

He let Barcelona in the game naturally advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, the opponent being Chelsea!

Without pressure, after a series of cumbersome operations, Messi felt a bit uncomfortable in his stomach, and hurriedly propped up his crutches, hopping to the restroom.

Fifteen minutes later.

He returned to the game console, staring at the screen's score with a bewildered expression!

Barcelona 0:2 Chelsea!

How is that possible!

The players at Camp Nou in the game were all in peak condition, with no injuries!

His own tactical setup was also very reasonable!

Why did he lose?

Messi glanced at the scorer's name and couldn't help but stare.

Lee!

Li!

Wasn't he supposed to go to Lewokusen?

"Barcelona Head Coach" immediately scrolled the event timeline to the summer transfer window.

What on earth happened?

【September, the last day of the summer transfer window, Ms. Si ka ya inadvertently watched a recording of a Champions League qualifier match, spending 5 million euros to bring Lewokusen's youth team youngster Li Kang to Stamford Bridge!】

【The then Lewokusen head coach Schmidt said: No one could replace Calhanoglu.】

【In October, Matic suffered a serious injury while celebrating with a sliding knee move; Li Kang made his Premier League debut, with two assists and one goal, stunning Stamford Bridge!】

Messi was stunned.

He immediately pressed the reload option.

The match restarted...

The result couldn't be changed.

Barcelona 0:1 Chelsea.

Reload.

Barcelona 2:3 Chelsea.

Reload.

Barcelona 1:2 Chelsea.

Reload.

Barcelona 0:5 Chelsea...

Messi almost couldn't help wanting to give the game developers "two dumplings"!

After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized he could check the opposing player's attributes, immediately pressed the controller, and brought up Li Kang's panel...

"The Barcelona head coach" was stunned again.

【Hidden Bond:】

【La Masia "double" number 4 position: Li Kang, Fabregas.】

【Matador Legion: Diego Costa, Li Kang, Fabregas, Azpilicueta.】

【Self-discipline: Li Kang, Ramirez.】

【Stamford Bridge's legacy: Li Kang, Drogba.】

【Tactical duel: Li Kang, Mourinho.】

【Despair Great Wall: Li Kang, Cahill, Terry, Matic.】

【Blue Giant Beast: Li Kang.】

Dazzling bonds, golden light shining brightly!

Still kicking a dumpling!

"Here are two dumplings for you!"

"One more time."

Messi angrily slammed the controller.

The match began.

Still the same familiar script.

In the 18th minute, Li Kang scored with a curling free kick! Barcelona 0:1 Chelsea! The Stamford Bridge Library erupted instantly.

"Does Li have any celebration moves in this game?"

"The little figurines on the stands are quite realistic... huh? Why did he make a heart gesture toward an Asian girl?"

Messi gave up.

Champions League eliminated.

He could only watch Li Kang's personal timeline as a bystander.

【May 2016: Chelsea defended the Premier League title, beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and lifted the Big Ear Cup again.】

【July 2016: Li Kang, representing Germany, fought out of the group of death, won the Euro Cup, and broke Platini's goal-scoring record.】

【May 2017: Chelsea again defended the Premier League title. Defended the Champions League title.】

【May 2018: Chelsea achieved four consecutive Premier League titles and three consecutive Champions League titles.】

【July 2018: Li Kang, representing Germany, participated in the World Cup, defeated Argentina in the final, and won the World Cup!】

【January 2019: Li Kang suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury.】

【March 2020: Li Kang's farewell match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea 0:2 Liverpool, ending his brief yet glorious career.】

Messi silently deleted the save and restarted.

Still Barcelona kicking off.

When the game time returned to June 2015 again, Messi frantically pressed the controller, determined to promote Li Kang into Barcelona's first team no matter what!

This time.

He succeeded!

The lineup interface flashed wildly, and a line of subtitles popped up.

【Hidden bond triggered: Peak Dream Four Barcelona!】

"It would be best to change Li's household registration to Argentina."

"Never mind, even without Li, Argentina still has hope of winning the World Cup!"

Messi hasn't even had time to be happy yet.

The timeline arrived at August 2015.

The club's sporting director... actually sold Li to Arsenal!

Again, 1 million euros!

Wenger this guy even proposed paying in installments, over five years!

"What a lousy game!"

"Here are two dumplings for you!"
