After taking a nap to refresh himself, Yue Xingwen went to the gymnasium with Jiang Pingce.
On Sunday afternoon, this year’s Library Sports Meeting had entered the closing stage, with the remaining events being the three team sports of basketball, volleyball, and soccer, as well as the final tug-of-war.
Since each team could only choose one of these three ball games to register for, most of the Research Groups registered for basketball, and the basketball hall was the most lively. The audience seats in the soccer hall were not full, there were half empty seats, and in addition to the participating teams, there were some students who had not registered any events to watch.
There were more than 60 teams registered for this soccer tournament, and three consecutive rounds were played, leaving the final 8 teams.
The top 8 was divided into the first half and the second half of the group for a round robin point competition, and then took the top two teams into the semi-finals. The first place in the first half of the team would fight against the second place in the second half of the team, and the second place in the first half of the team against the first place in the second half of the team, then the winner of both teams would fight against each other to produce the champion.
The schedule of the tournament was clear, with a systematically divided list of matches on the big screen.
Yue Xingwen stood in front of the big screen, his eyes quickly swept over the table, and soon found the ‘C-183 Research Group’.
Official soccer games were 90 minutes divided into first and second halves, but the Library’s soccer games were to be played within the day. To save time, each game was shortened to 30 minutes, with a 15-minute first half, a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute second half.
Moreover, in the first round of knockouts, the soccer field was directly divided into dozens of venues like ‘mitosis’, allowing all teams to play at the same time. In other words, after half an hour, half of more than 60 teams would be eliminated, and after an hour and a half, the participating teams would be eliminated to only 8 left.
Such a fast-paced soccer game was something no one had even experienced. Moreover, they could use their skills when they played, everyone was actually not sure in their hearts, all teams were mixed, some girls even touched soccer for the first time.
The library’s mechanical voice said: “Asking the team leaders of each participating team to go to Referee no. 1 to collect the team uniform and number.”
Yue Xingwen was stunned, and looked back at everyone, “Is the library actually handing out team uniforms?”
There were 12 of them, and they were not wearing the same clothes, but dressed colorfully, not at all like a team. Perhaps the library also felt that it was an eyesore for them to play in such a messy manner, so they generously gave everyone a set of team uniforms.
Yue Xingwen counted the size of everyone’s clothes and asked, “Sending team uniforms, there should be different colors to choose, what color do you like?” Xin Yan said, “White, simple and refreshing.”
Zhuo Feng said, “The yellow color is more eye-catching on the field, and it’s easy to find teammates.”
Xu Yishen said, “I like green, youthful and energetic.”
Girls thought blue was better, and some suggested that black was handsome.
Ke Shaobin suddenly said, “Red is the best, festive.”
Everyone looked back at him in unison and asked, “Why do you need to be festive to play soccer ah?”
Ke Shaobin seriously said, “Today, after all, was the day that Xingwen and Pingce registered their marriage to get the certificate. Should our 183 Research Group dress a little more festively?”
Everyone: “……”
Yue Xingwen resisted the urge to beat him and asked, “Are we going to be a wedding team?”
Ke Shaobin laughed, “The field is a green lawn, it will be in contrast with the red jersey. And in addition to being festive, red also symbolized hot blooded, which I think is quite good.”
Yue Xingwen looked at everyone and asked his teammates’ opinions with his eyes.
Everyone said, “Then go red!”
“The red is also auspicious!”

Yue Xingwen had to go to Referee no. 1 to get the team uniform and the numbers 1-12. When he came back, he handed out the uniforms to everyone by size. “The numbers are your own choice, and you can pick any lucky number first.”

Standing together, neatly, quite like a team.
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “Shall we take a group photo?”
12 people stood in a row next to the playground, and Ke Shaobin used voice control to Xiao Tu, “Xiao Tu, come take a photo of everyone!”
Xiao Tu: “Hello master, the shooting function is on, please look at the camera.”
The click sounded. Xiao Tu used the continuous shooting function to take a dozen group photos of everyone. Then, everyone got together and took a photo with a natural expression. Yue Xingwen looked at the smiling teammates in the photo, and a trace of warmth inexplicably floated in his heart.
It was good that the initial fear, nervousness, and anxiety that they felt when their first time coming to this strange place in the library had gradually disappeared with time. They had adapted to the environment of the library and gained so many like-minded friends.
When he was in university, he never imagined that one day he would form a team with these people with different personalities.
Yue Xingwen smiled and stretched out his hand, “Fighting everyone.”
The others also clenched their hands and shouted in unison: “Fighting!”
The library’s mechanical voice prompted: “The first round of elimination is about to begin, please enter the corresponding competition venue in order of the draw.”
THe opponent encountered in the knockout stage was not strong. Jiang Pingce’s goal defense could be called BUG level, and the team that played with 183 could not kick the ball into the goal. 183 Research Group made it all the way to the top 8, and the goal still had a record of 9 breakthroughs.
In the first game, 6:0 wins; the second game, 5:0 wins; the third game, 3:0 wins…
Looking at their brilliant achievements, the students in the audience commented: “It seems that they are very well prepared ah!”
“Look at the group stage, the teams that can enter the top 9 are not weak. If it really can’t, let the Law Department put Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen to the Civil Affairs Bureau!”
In the top 8 stage, all matches were played in the main arena. Research Group 183 was placed in the first half of the tournament and met Research Group A-37 in the first round of the group stage.
At this time, due to the fact that there were too many teams out of the knockout stage, and some students who had been eliminated from other events also came to watch, the number of spectators in the main arena gradually increased. The entire soccer stadium was two-thirds full.
The opponent of the first round of the top 8 group stage, A-37, had a team speed bonus, which was equivalent to the acceleration of ‘Chinese As Fast As Lightning’ in the whole field, without cooldown. Yue Xingwen looked at the opponent’s 12-person list before the game, he did not recognize any of them, but the majors were very complete, including Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, and Geography, comprehensive strength of a very comprehensive team, could not be underestimated.
Zhuo Feng commanded this game. He called his teammates over, and said in a low voice, “At the beginning, let’s test the opponent’s strength first. If they are weak, let’s seize the time to kick in a few more goals, end the game as soon as possible, rest and recover physical strength. If the opponent is strong and plays a war of attrition, we should strengthen the rear defense, and a few of our attackers will find another opportunity.”
Everyone looked at senior brother Zhuo’s serious face and became serious.
Liu Zhaoqing reminded them, “The team that can reach the top 8 is definitely not weak, so don’t relax.”
Jiang Pingce said, “If they break through our defense and bring the ball near the goal, I’ll open the coordinate system so that they can’t score.”
Everyone shouted cheers again and stood according to their assigned positions.
The team leaders of both sides guessed the coin to decide the right to serve, and Yue Xingwen guessed the word and got it exactly right, giving priority to serve first.
Yue Xingwen directly kicked the ball to Zhuo Feng. Zhuo Feng quickly ran with the ball to the opponent’s half, Liu Zhaoqing received it on the other side, and Xu Yishen used mitosis in the middle to cover.
Five Xu Yishen appeared on the court at the same time, the opponent was dazzled, did not know which one to defend, and then Zhuo Feng simply passed the ball to one of Xu Yishen’s split body, and the Xu Yishen instantly switched over to immediately pass it to Liu Zhaoqing in front of the left.
Liu Zhaoqing did not pass the ball again, and shot long distance towards the opponent’s goal——
They thought the opposite goalkeep could keep it, but as a result, Liu Zhaoqing made a fake move and kicked to the left, and the opposite goalkeeper actually pounced to the right… Pounced on an empty air.
The ball went in, and the audience applauded thunderously!
The score on the big screen became 1:0.
Not only the students in the A-37 Research Group were a little confused, but Yue Xingwen was also a little confused… Was that a goal?
Liu Zhaoqing ran back with a smile and high-fived the students around him, “Score 1 point!”
This well-coordinated fast break took advantage of the fact that the game had just started and the opponent hadn’t had time to return to defense.
Last night for four hours of training obviously had an effect. Although the Research Group 183 also had a lot of students who could not play soccer, several senior brothers in the front, Liu Zhaoqing, Zhuo Feng, Xu Yishen, were all tall, and they were also very professional at playing soccer!
Ke Shaobin, who was on the bench, jumped up excitedly, “It’s great! Xiao Tu, quickly record it.”
Xiao Tu said dedicatedly, “Master, I’ve been recording.”
The A-37 Research Group adjusted for a moment and resumed the game.
This time the ball was in the hands of the Research Group 37. Their ball was only passed twice, and before the midfield, Yue Xingwen opened his dictionary and made a move of ‘Seven Up, Eight Down’ to let the person with the ball lie down, and he quickly stepped forward to intercept the ball!
Yue Xingwen continued to pass the ball to Zhuo Feng, and Zhuo Feng, with the help of ‘As Fast As Lighting’, quickly attacked the opponent’s goal!
The layout of the A-37’s field was 3 in the front, 3 in the middle and 4 in the back, with more emphasis on defense. With the experience of being raided last time, they were obviously much more cautious this time, and the speed of returning to defense was very fast!
A female student from the Faculty of Biological Science also split into 5 to stare at Xu Yishen. Other students also had a ‘one stare at one’ strategy, quickly approaching Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing, interfering with their passes.
Zhuo Feng himself played soccer well, coupled with the acceleration of the ‘As Fast As Lightning’, he kicked the ball to pass two people. Seeing their ball was about to go straight to the opposite goal, a boy’s voice suddenly sounded nearby, “Imperialism!”
A 5-meter-high mountain range fell from the sky, and with a ‘boom’ sound, Zhuo Feng was pressed down under the mountain.
Zhuo Feng: “???”
Yue Xingwen was shocked. This was the first time he saw this skill, directly pressing people under the mountain, just like Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Senior brother, are you okay!?”
Zhuo Feng laid down the mountain and waved his hand, “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt, but my body can’t move.”
Everyone: “…”
A few of the A-37 Research Group could play soccer, taking the opportunity to run forward quickly with the ball, Zhuo Feng hurriedly shouted, “Defense!”
The opposite side brought the ball to the midfield. Zhang Xiaonian followed suit and set up a wall directly in front of the person with the ball, and the opponent almost hit the wall head on.
The ball was intercepted by Xin Yan and passed to Yue Xingwen.
Yue Xingwen passed to Xu Yishen nearby and began to organize a counterattack!
Xu Yishen’s split bodies could also pass the ball to each other, turning the 11-person team into 15 people. It was hard for the girl from the Faculty of Biological Science to prevent him, but just when Xu Yishen broke through the defense line and rushed to the opposite goal with Liu Zhaoqing, the boy’s voice sounded in his ears, “Feudalism! Bureaucratic Capitalism!”
With a bang, two consecutive mountains fell from the sky, directly pressing Xu Yishen and Liu Zhaoqing under the mountain.
Xu Yishen: “???”
Liu Zhaoqing: “…”
All three attackers were pressed down by the mountain, how else could they play this game? Although it did not hurt, they could not move after being pressed by the mountain ah!
The audience laughed loudly: “The three senior brothers who were suppressed by the mountain are too miserable!”
“Is A-37 Research Group a dark horse that can beat the BOSS level of Research Group 183?”
Xu Yishen laid on the ground and asked with a smile, “Buddy, you are pressing me, and I can’t accompany you to the Western to obtain buddhist scriptures? Let us go, okay?”
The boy did not have time to explain to him and rushed forward with the ball. After running through the midfield, he was locked up by Xin Yan with a distillation flask.
The strength of the A-37 Research Group was indeed not weak. Although they could not break through the C-183 defense to shoot successfully, similarly, it was also difficult for Zhuo Feng, Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen to break their defense.
At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and the goal scored quickly in the opening game gave the C-183 group a slight advantage.
When it was time to break, both sides sat on the sidelines and drank water.
Yue Xingwen looked at the educated, fair and clear boy and asked with a smile, “Political Science major?”
The boy nodded, “En.”
Yue Xingwen guessed and said, “So, the skill you just put is the three mountains that press on the heads of the people—— Imperialism, Feudalism, Bureaucratic Capitalism?”
Hearing this, the teammates suddenly realized.
It turned out that they met a student majoring in politics. No wonder the skills were so strange!
Directly summoning three mountains to press down people. These hard control skills were really powerful. The three attackers were pressed, and they couldn’t organize the attack, Yue Xingwen smiled at the other party and said, “Keep up the good work in the second half ah.”
The other party replied politely, “En, you guys too.”
At the beginning of the second half, the boy kept his eyes on Zhuo Feng’s defense. Suddenly, Yue Xingwen stepped forward and said to him, “I’m going to buy some oranges. You stay right here and don’t move around.”
Teammates: “……”
The boy was stunned, and did not seem to understand. Why did a Chinese student of the Research Group 183 suddenly want to buy him an orange? And the students in the audience were puzzled, “Why is there suddenly an extra orange in Xingwen’s hand?”
Until the boy could not move and stood in place like a statue.
The boy: “???”
It was a pit! Saying that he wanted to buy me an orange, why did he take it to Ke Shaobin, who was watching the battle to eat?!
Ke Shaobin ate the orange with pleasure and thought to himself—— Three mountains that weighed on the heads of the people, and pressed out three attackers in the first half? It didn’t matter, Xingwen would definitely take his own way and buy you three oranges!
Ah! My heart is happy. Looking forward to orange #2 and #3.
This joke is incredible!
