After the first day of the Library Sports Meeting was over, Yue Xingwen returned to the dormitory and counted the medals everyone had won—— In individual events, there was currently a gold medal from Xu Yishen in track and field 400 meters, gold medals from Jiang Pingce in shot put, javelin and discus throwing events, and bronze medals from Lin Manluo in freestyle and backstroke swimming event.
For the team events, they got the gold medal in the 4x800m relay, and the gold medal in the 8-person team rowing.
The rules of redemption for this Sports Meeting. The medals in individual/double events could only be exchanged for individual students, and the medals in team events could be exchanged for credits for all members of the Research Group. Their team won two gold medals, which meant that all members could exchange for 1 credit. The 4 gold medals in the individual events, on the other hand, allowed a certain student to exchange 2 credits.
Such a harvest had made Yue Xingwen very satisfied.
Their effort on joining the Sports Meeting was not a waste, and it was much easier than the previous Public Elective Course like <Orienteering>. It was an unexpected surprise that everyone could exchange credits while having fun.
And before the opening of the Sports Meeting, the restrictions of the Student Convention of the Union let the students abide by the rules. There was no intentional injury incident by the special abilities during the competition, everyone was playing, and the atmosphere of the whole gymnasium was very warm. It was a rare time for all students to relax since coming to the library for so long.
Tomorrow’s event arrangement was gymnastics and cycling at 8 am; Table tennis, badminton, tennis at 10am, and team events for basketball, volleyball, and soccer from 2pm, each of which would be played in a separate venue.
It was only 6 pm at library time now.
Yue Xingwen sent a message on the Research Group’s chat channel: “It’s still early, should we go to the training room to practice soccer? Tomorrow’s soccer match will have 11 people participating. If we don’t practice in advance, it will be chaotic, right?”
The teammates readily agreed: “It’s time to practice!”
Everyone came to the Research Group Center on the -2nd floor, spent points to open a training room, and set the training room to the size of a soccer field, because the training room of the library did not have a goal of the soccer field, Liu Zhaoqing simply made one with gauze.
Yue Xingwen: “…”
No wonder many people on the forum posted that 183 Research Group was a devil team—— It was the first time he saw a goal made of gauze!
However, for the sake of training, they needed to put up with it for now.
The gauze goal made by Liu Zhaoqing was quite like that, the size was similar to the official sports competition.
Qin Lu’s expression was full of worry as she said, “I don’t know how to play soccer at all, can I not play?”
Qin Miao rubbed his temple and said, “I won’t either, and I don’t understand what offside means until now.”

Everyone seemed to understand.
Zhuo Feng simply picked up the soccer ball and personally demonstrated it with Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen.
Qin Miao nodded and said, “Understood, that is to say, when teammates attack, our people can’t go closer to the opponent’s goal at the moment the ball is passed over.”
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and replied, “Yes. If there’s no offside foul rule, we can leave a person in front of the opponent’s goal, wait for a teammate to pass the ball, and kick the ball directly into the goal.”
Zhuo Feng said, “Corner kicks and out-of-bounds kicks are not considered offside. Offside fouls are the points that need to be paid attention to when organizing the attack, remember, don’t run in front of the opposite defender at the moment your teammates kick the ball, and after the ball is kicked out, you can run to the front again, so that it’s not a foul.”
People who did not know soccer felt a headache listening to it.
Looking at the bewildered expressions of his teammates, Yue Xingwen said, “Raise your hand if you know how to kick a ball.”
Zhuo Feng, Liu Zhaoqing, Xu Yishen, Jiang Pingce, and Yue Xingwen raised their hands.
Yue Xingwen said helplessly, “Everyone is driving a duck onto a perch, a temporary team that can play soccer is less than a team that can play basketball, so the teams participating are estimated to be not too many.”
Liu Zhaoqing agreed and said, “In fact, it’s fine even if we meet the Sports College’s students. Not everyone on Sports College will play soccer, many of them practice track and field and swimming, not to mention that in order to pass the compulsory courses in the library, they must also have students majoring in physics, chemistry, biology and other majors in their team, it’s impossible for students from pure Sports College to form a Research Group, it’s called courting disaster. Although many of us do not know how to play soccer, many of the other teams do not know how to play soccer either ah! Who is afraid of noob chickens pecking each other?”
Everyone: “…”
Noob chickens pecking each other, this description was really amazing.
Since the competition had to be registered by the Research Group, most of the Research Groups covered various majors. Even if a few of them could play soccer, the rest of the team would not. So, from the overall strength comparison, everyone was indeed half a pound of ‘noob chickens pecking each other’, the key was the use of skills.
Yue Xingwen said, “Senior brother Zhuo played soccer on the school team before, and it’s no problem to be the captain of this competition, right?”
Zhuo Feng simply agreed and said, “No problem. Let’s assign positions first, who will be the goalkeeper?”
Everyone was hesitant as ‘you look at me and I look at you’. Yue Xingwen, but, fixed his gaze on Jiang Pingce and said with a smile, “Pingce, you come. With him, the opponent’s ball won’t be able to enter our home goal.”
Teammates: “……”
Running track and field, you are faster than me? Sorry, using parabolic motion to send you back.
Playing soccer, your ball is going into my home goal? Sorry, get out in parabolic motion.
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help laughing and said, “If Pingce guards the gate, the other party will be very desperate! It’s like playing an ordinary daily dungeon, and you end up meeting the world boss, hahahaha.”
Jiang Pingce: “…”
Was that a compliment or a curse?
Zhuo Feng also laughed and said, “Pingce is the goalkeeper, then we can let go of ourselves and play casually. Anyway, the opponent’s ball can’t enter our goal, we only need to kick one into their goal to win!”
Several students, who originally knew nothing about soccer, also felt confident of winning when they heard this.
Yue Xingwen said, “Senior brother, let’s assign the strikers and defenders.
Zhuo Feng’s gaze swept through the teammates, quickly arranging them, “It’s too troublesome to divide in detail, let’s divide into an offensive group, a midfield group, and a defensive group. The offensive group will be me, senior brother Liu, Yishen and Xingwen; The midfield will be handed over to Qin Miao, Qin Lu, Lin Manluo, and Lan Yarong; The defense of the rear will be Zhang Xiaonian and Xin Yan’s responsibility.”
Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and said, “Then I will take pictures of everyone as a front-line reporter.”
There was a limit to the number of people in a soccer team, and it was impossible for him to bring Xiao Tu on the field, so Ke Shaobin consciously acted as a reporter.
But this arrangement of Zhuo Feng, with only Zhang Xiaonian and Xin Yan as defenders, seemed too weak?
Zhang Xiaonian asked, “Is the defender just me and senior brother Xin Yan?”
Yue Xingwen patted his shoulder, comforted him and said, “Don’t be afraid, the four girls in the midfield can always turn back to defend, not to mention that we still have Pingce as a goalkeeper. If your wall and Xin Yan’s distillation flask still can’t defend from the opposite side, then leave it to Pingce to deal with it.”
After the allocation, Zhuo Feng fixed the position of each student according to the location of the field.
Liu Zhaoqing and Yue Xingwen were the left and right attackers, Zhuo Feng center attacker, and Xu Yishen was his ‘shadow attacker’ specializing in passing and harassment, as Xu Yishen had the ‘mitosis’ skill, this task was perfect for him.
Liu Zhaoqing was tall and could play soccer; Yue Xingwen could control the ball and people with various skills.
Although the strength of them as a four-man offensive team was not as good as that of professional teams, everyone was still very confident in winning against other Research Group that were driving ducks onto a perch.
With Jiang Pingce guarding the rear, Yue Xingwen’s heart was really extremely steady.
Seeing that the time was still early, Yue Xingwen said, “Let’s try to play.”
The crowd first split into two small teams, one attacking, one defending, trying to kick and control the ball. Several girls had never played soccer, and if they were not careful, they would kick the ball crookedly or out of bounds, and the situation would happen frequently.
Zhuo Feng also personally guided them.
After two hours of practice, everyone gradually mastered the basic movements of kicking. Although they still did not pass the ball precisely, at least they could pass in the direction of their teammates.
Yue Xingwen found that their arrangement had strong attack power, but the midfielder’s ability to control the ball was too weak, and they often lost the ball. He walked to Zhuo Feng’s side and whispered, “Senior brother, we will be very passive if the midfielder can’t control the ball, right? Judging from the training just now, the four girls have no playing experience. It’s okay to put them in the midfield to defend, but it will be very troublesome to pass the ball when attacking.”
Zhuo Feng carefully pondered for a moment, and said to everyone, “Let’s do this. Xingwen and Yishen need to work hard. Both of you run more in the midfield, so when the girls can’t control the ball, pass it to Yishen or Xingwen. Xin Yan helps pass the ball in the middle position behind the midfield, and senior sister Lan changes to a defender, one left and one right with Zhang Xiaonian.”
After many practices and adjustments, the final schedule for the C-183 Research Group’s soccer match was—— Jiang Pingce as a goalkeeper, Lan Yarong, Xin Yan, Zhang Xiaonian at the middle, left and right rear. Qin Miao, Qin Lu, Lin Manlup in the midfield. Zhuo Feng, Liu Zhaoqing double attacker. Xu Yishen and Yue Xingwen quickly switch between the attacker and the midfielder, forming a four-offensive team when attacking, and retreating to help the girls when defending.
On the whole, it was a relatively flexible team. The defensive ability of the rear seemed to be weak, but because Jiang Pingce, the BOSS, guarding the goal, even if the opposite side broke through the defense and transported the ball to the door, Jiang Pingce could let the ball fly out.
Unless the rear defense line was broken while Jiang Pingce was also controlled with a single control skill. But in that case, Lan Yarong, Xin Yan and Zhang Xiaonian were not vegetarians either.
Theoretically, the possibility of kicking the ball into the goal of the C-183 Research Group was extremely low.
Everyone practiced until half past ten, exhausted and out of breath.
Yue Xingwen said, “Everyone can go back and take a bath, have a good rest. We will go all out for tomorrow afternoon’s soccer game. It doesn’t matter if we win the prize or not, everyone can have fun!”
Such a ‘fun soccer game’ would definitely be an unforgettable experience for them.
Whoever can kick the ball and score a goal, give you a praise. 🤣🤣🤣
Xingwen: “funny game”
Xingwen on the next day: destroy another team
Thank you for your translation 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
They’re really so ruthless, ah! Jiang Pingce truly deserves to be the big BOSS of the game! Fighting! ♡
