Su Chen transmigrates into the body of a talented player, but the System requires him to make the national team three times and leave before major tournaments three times before he can unlock its rewards.
So, three days before the World Cup qualifier against Japan, Su Chen submits his third resignation letter.
Fans gather to burn his jersey, and the Football Association issues a dismissal notice in the middle of the night.
His mentor, Zheng Jianguo, smashes his teacup. Su Chen only says that when he returns, he'll lead the Chinese national team to the top.
By a twist of fate, he joins Sheffield United and unlocks the On-Pitch Buzzword System, gaining the golden trait [Emperor Engine].
The Chinese national team mocks him: "That skinny Asian runt who falls over if you so much as touch him? He'll get his bones shattered by Premier League butchers!"
Little do they know, on the Premier League pitch:
"Come on, mate, your legs are like jelly. Didn't you get enough to eat last night?"
The sweetest smile, the nastiest tackles!
He makes superstars see red and treats the top clubs like farming zones for loot!
From then on, the world of football goes completely off the rails.
Haaland questions his existence: "Who the hell is the real Majin Buu?"
Guardiola frantically tugs at his hair on the sidelines: "His 80-meter thunderbolt completely defies the laws of physics!"
Cristiano Ronaldo sucks in a sharp breath in front of the TV: "His physical gifts make him the ultimate freak in the history of football!"
Messi smiles ruefully: "I'm glad he's not in La Liga. Otherwise, I'd have no chance of winning the Ballon d'Or."
China's national sweetheart, Liu Tianxian, screams herself hoarse for him from a VIP box;
Taylor Swift writes his bicycle kick into her new song, sending it straight to number one;
Hollywood supermodels publicly profess their love for him on Twitter, just hoping Su Chen will give them a glance!
When Su Chen completes the grand slam and lifts the Ballon d'Or,
he puts an arm around his mentor's shoulders. "Come on, old man. I'll take you home to grab some World Cup ryegrass."
