[Football] Don't Declare War on the Ultimate Grinder

Cheng Yubai has three daily habits: outworking the sky, outworking the earth, and outworking everyone else. People call him the Grind King. After he once again crushed a bunch of older classmates from prestigious schools, leaving them thoroughly humiliated, someone finally “rose up in righteous indignation” and hit him where it hurt: “You’ve never even made it to the World Cup with the national team.” Cheng, the Grind King, calmly snapped a pencil in half, then shot back without a trace of calm, “That’s because I don’t play soccer.” So that Sunday, an Asian face appeared outside La Masia’s youth academy. Cheng Yubai clutched a flyer for a free trial lesson, brimming with confidence. He hadn’t even made it through the gate, but he’d already set himself a modest little goal: well, he’d start by winning the World Cup. One minute later, the gatekeeper stopped him without mercy. “These training sessions are for children under ten.” The overage child pointed to his baby face and said earnestly, “I’m exactly ten this year.” Reader’s Guide: 1. He plays as a striker. 2. There are lots of creative liberties, so the schedule and match results won’t be one hundred percent accurate to reality. 3. The protagonist has golden fingers such as an exceptionally high IQ and a photographic memory. 4. There may not be much romance, so don’t get your hopes too high. The love interest is an original character. [Coming Soon] [Football] Kaka Reborn as a Succubus As a devout Christian, Kaka had always believed that after death he would return to his Heavenly Father’s embrace. When the day finally came, he accepted death calmly and peacefully, until he heard a voice asking whether he had any regrets about his life. Regrets? Yes, he had some. He hadn’t been able to retire at AC Milan. Repeated injuries had forced him to retire early. He hadn’t found a marriage that lasted a lifetime, and he hadn’t lifted the World Cup for Brazil a second time... There were so many more regrets, big and small. Far too many. Just thinking about them left a bitter taste in his mouth. But in the end, he gave a negative answer. The next moment, the voice suddenly turned shrill. It screamed that he was lying and said it would punish him. When he regained consciousness, he had become a succubus. A succubus? Him?! Kaka was so shocked that the gentle, refined mask he wore cracked. But the scariest thing wasn’t losing his human status. After becoming a succubus, he had to charm people. Otherwise, his magic might spiral out of control and make his upright teammates say things like, “You smell so good.” To save his teammates’ dignity and preserve his own innocence, Kaka had no choice but to obediently radiate charm and win people over. Fortunately, the affection he gathered wasn’t useless. He could exchange it for products in the Succubus Shop, which had everything from peach-scented body oil and innocent puppy-dog-eye eyelashes to black lace cutout nightgowns. Kaka: Give me back my eyes! I never saw any of that! Theme: Anything is possible.
