Chapter 402: Chapter 402
"Asahi Shimbun": "Japanese football has completely fallen behind. Huang Kaiwen-sama might be a fluke, but now there’s Li Changlong again. With such talents consistently emerging, able to play for top teams, the Chinese Team will soon become number one in Asia and possess enough competitiveness on a global scale. Our players must learn Huang Kaiwen-sama’s indomitable spirit. Even if injured, even if unconscious, even if the spine is damaged, as long as there’s enough willpower, one can still return to the pitch. As men, we must be prepared to give everything for victory!"
Japanese Economic News reporter Takechi Yukitaka wrote in his column: "Chinese football has already cultivated top-tier stars. At this rate, China could develop a ’new World Champion team,’ and Japan is unlikely to produce stars like Huang Kaiwen. In China, however, it’s possible to cultivate many more players like Huang Kaiwen. Considering China’s emphasis on and investment in football, Japan cannot afford to take this lightly."
"Korean Daily": "The Chinese player Li Changlong may have grabbed the spotlight in the Spanish national derby, but the way he scored was an affront to Sven. It’s simply a disgrace to all of Asia. Another player who performed well in the national derby, Huang Kaiwen, has the typical look of someone from the Republic of Korea. Based on our speculation, his grandfather must have been a Korean who ended up in China during the early years of the war. ’Huang’ is also a traditional Korean surname. Seoul National University history professor Shen Yongxia claims to have found key evidence proving Huang Kaiwen is Korean."
After having breakfast at home.
Huang Kaiwen checked, and the two golden retrievers hadn’t gotten up yet.
They had played until exhausted last night.
He took a couple of pictures with his camera.
Huang Kaiwen turned on his computer and uploaded them to Facebook.
Then, Huang Kaiwen opened up the forums.
The forums were bustling, all about yesterday’s match.
"I told you my cousin was alright, last night he went out partying with Ronaldo."
"Feels like my cousin had the best time. His best friend is Mr. Football, his brother is Ballon d’Or, scored in his very first national derby, and proved his strength to the whole world. Bet he had a blast last night."
"Another day of envying my cousin. When Huang Kaiwen first wanted to sign, he even barged onto the pitch to showcase himself. My cousin easily signed with Barcelona, and now he’s becoming a star. At this rate, he’ll quickly sideline Eto’o, right?"
"Today I’ve decided not to curse out Huang Kaiwen. Him and my cousin making an appearance in the national derby is like winning a victory for China. Guys, I’m really happy."
"F*ck, Huang Kaiwen scored four again yesterday. Even with Barcelona’s fouls, they couldn’t stop him. European football is nothing special."
"Holy shit, Huang Kaiwen’s long-range shots yesterday were unstoppable. Valdes is going to surpass Buffon soon and become Huang Kaiwen’s best background board."
"I think it was just so-so. Huang Kaiwen played okay yesterday, didn’t perform at his best."
"Huan? Admin, hurry up and ban this guy for ten days on repeat. Huan here still can’t prove he’s not a Huang Kaiwen fan."
"The camera caught Japanese fans yesterday. After leaving the stadium, they even picked up trash. So high class!"
"Indeed high class. Before this, I read on ’Yilin’ about ’Japanese summer camps.’ It seems their training methods are excellent."
At this, Huang Kaiwen could no longer hold it in.
He quickly registered a new account and replied: "Japanese people high class my ass. The Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, and they still haven’t paid them back!"
Think they’re so great online.
In the end, they can’t even see through the fluff pieces in trashy magazines.
Feels kind of boring.
Huang Kaiwen opened the system and, to his surprise, found a prompt.
[Dramatically changed the fate of top defender Ramos, rewarded with 1000 fate points]
Clicked on the unfolding fate below.

[In 2070, 84-year-old Ramos, suffering from severe memory loss caused by heading too many balls throughout his career, didn’t even recognize you when you visited him in the nursing home, and just kept smiling foolishly. A doctor, not watching his step, tripped over a mop and lunged at you. A blur flashed before your eyes as Ramos sprang up from his wheelchair and kicked the doctor several meters away, shakily giving a thumbs up and turning to say, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this!"]
He had thought Raul’s fate would change first, considering the [Abnormal State] attached to it, and even if he couldn’t make Raul retire at Real Madrid, he should still be able to alter Raul’s fate.
But the first one turned out to be Ramos.
No wonder Ramos always spoke up for him, Huang the Yellow Ball King; from his debut at the Bernabeu, he had become a loyal follower. Though Ramos had a rough style of play, his judgment was quite good.
Huang Kaiwen could only sigh in admiration: this was winning people over by virtue.
Even a troublemaker like Ramos had become a loyal fanboy of the Yellow Ball King.
Since that was the case, Ramos would be his, Huang’s, good brother from now on.
