In 2055, the super-intelligent football robot "Smartfoot" series swept the world. No longer relying on a remote control or preset programs, every robot is connected to its "architect" soul through neuronal links. Football, which humans have played for hundreds of years, has been redefined.
Qingshi Street in Shenhai City is an old street shaded by parasol trees. Seventeen-year-old Qin Xiao stood in front of the window of the newly opened Gangzu sales point. There was a S-class flagship phone worth 28,000 yuan in the glass, but in his pocket, he only had 12,000 yuan saved by working part-time in three years.
He unearthed an eight-year-old first-generation experimental machine from the scrap pile at the car repair shop. The outer shell was scratched, the transmission was rusty, and the factory grade was only C, the lowest grade. The only advantage: its core is open source, and you can write any tactics as long as you have a tacit understanding with it.
A scrapped machine, a boy who was kicked down the professional ladder, and several peers who couldn't even get enough machines. This is all the assets of the Bluestone Street Team.
Starting from the wild courts of the street league, to being crushed by strong teams in the county league, to stumbling to avoid relegation in the city league, to the provincial level, national cup, professional B, A, Continental Cup... A group of grassroots teenagers and their increasingly outdated machines, in increasingly larger stadiums, compete with the top teams supported by the consortium to the end.
It's a long road.
There is no overnight awakening, no divine message. Every victory was gained by running, every upgrade was achieved by Lin Xiaolu staying up late at night, and every tacit understanding was forged by Qin Xiao and Chi Hu through countless late-night neural connections.
But they have to finish this road
