Reporter: “Mr. Gu Heng, someone photographed you partying on a yacht the night before the Champions League final. How do you explain that?”
Gu Heng (pointing to the Ballon d'Or trophy): “That was my pre-match warm-up.”
Reporter: “And how do you respond to accusations that you're ‘extravagant, lazy, and sharp-tongued’?”
Gu Heng (glancing at the surging Hater Points on his System panel): “It's all to serve the fans better.”
Reporter: “...”
This is a story about being forced to “fall into decadence.”
The System told Gu Heng that he could earn attribute points only by spending every penny he made from football on luxury goods, provoking public envy and hatred.
To become the best in the world, Gu Heng tearfully embraced a tedious life of indulgence, wanton spending, luxury cars, and beautiful women.
Watching him dribble past players like an alien and fire shots like a cannon on the pitch, his haters broke down: “This guy spends every day fooling around, so why does he still score so many goals? Is there any justice?!”
Gu Heng: “Thanks for asking. I'm in Paris, just got off the plane. That was a pretty good kick. Mostly because last night's black truffles were worth it.”
