C78 He Triggered a Random Mission and Beat up the Little Guy
"Lin Dong, is that you?"
The White Team's captain addressed Lin Dong with a questioning look.
Previously, when their team had arrived, it was a small group of boys who were easily overshadowed by Jiang Cheng's fans, leaving them feeling rather embarrassed.
However, Lin Dong turned the tables by arriving with a bevy of high-quality beauties to root for them, effectively turning the tide and giving them a significant boost in morale.
Tian Chao had made a point of introducing Lin Dong, and he had left a strong impression.
Lin Dong nodded affirmatively. "I'll take the lead. Jiang Cheng has hurt Tian Chao, and I intend to settle the score!"
"Alright!"
The White Team's captain, impressed by Lin Dong's commanding presence, immediately agreed.
He promptly put Lin Dong in as a substitute.
Dressed in the white jersey, Lin Dong took his position on the field.
"Wow! Lin Dong's going to play soccer!"
"Oh my gosh, I need to take a picture; he looks so cool!"
"Let's go, girls! Give it your all for Lin Dong!"
...
Tian Meihui, spotting Lin Dong on the field, was instantly electrified.
She yelled with excitement, prompting the girls around her to join in the cheering.
Ma Chenchen's eyes were wide as she watched Lin Dong.
She shared a class with him, sitting right in front and behind him, and knew his capabilities better than anyone.
Since when did Lin Dong play soccer?
Beside her, Tian Meihui's chants, along with the other girls, filled the stadium.
Ma Chenchen didn't want to be outdone. With Lin Dong in the game, she felt compelled to offer her support.
She too led the girls beside her in cheering him on.
Their voices were even more enthusiastic and powerful than when they had cheered for Tian Chao!
"Go Lin Dong! Go Lin Dong!"
"Lin Dong, you're so cool!"
"Lin Dong, we love you!"
...
The cheers rolled like waves through the stadium!
The White Team players exchanged bewildered glances at the sound of the girls' cheers.
Had these girls lost their minds?
Their cheers were so loud and affectionate, one might mistake the scene for a Lin Dong fan concert!
On the other side, Jiang Cheng's expression darkened.
He had his own fan club backing him up.
The girls were cheering too, but they couldn't match the fervor of Tian Meihui and Ma Chenchen's squad across the way.
Plus, the girls behind Lin Dong were stunning. Just sitting there, they were a sight for sore eyes, and many of the boys, seeing them cheer, joined in with enthusiastic shouts.
In a flash, Lin Dong's name echoed throughout the entire stadium!
Jealousy slowly crept into Jiang Cheng's eyes!
He had taken an instant dislike to Lin Dong.
Seeing him in person now, Jiang Cheng had to admit that Lin Dong was incredibly handsome, outshining him by miles.
And the girls in the fan club were so passionate, clearly smitten with him.
This sent a wave of jealousy crashing through the proud Jiang Cheng's heart!
A glint of malice flashed in his eyes.
He had just hit Tian Chao, and some innocents had gotten caught in the crossfire. Now, with Lin Dong in his sights, he was itching to teach him a lesson!
On this soccer field, it was time to show who the real king of popularity was!
He quickly turned to his teammates.
They nodded in silent agreement, sharing a look of mutual understanding.
Jiang Cheng couldn't suppress a mocking laugh.
As the game was about to start, he was determined to make Lin Dong regret stepping onto the field!
"Lin Dong, you kick off."
The White Team captain handed a soccer ball to Lin Dong. "What level did you say you played at before? C or B?"
Lin Dong replied, "I've never played in a match."
"???"
The captain of the White Team felt his world shatter.
Lin Dong had seemed so confident; he had assumed Lin Dong was a dark horse, on par with Tian Chao.
But Lin Dong had never even played in a match!
Frustration boiled over as he glared and said, "You mean to tell me you've never played against another team?"
Lin Dong shook his head, "Actually, this is my first time playing soccer!"
The captain was floored.
He had never played before, and now he was up front as a striker? Was this some kind of joke?
The White Team captain made one last attempt, forcing a smile and said, "Come on, man! You can't be serious about playing striker without any experience. You'll sink the whole team. Maybe you should sit this one out..."
"Let's start the game."
Lin Dong positioned the soccer ball at his feet, holding it steady with the sole of his shoe.
In that instant, as the soccer ball's god-like potential was deeply activated, Lin Dong felt an inseparable connection between himself, the ball, and the turf.
"Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: Pummel the Pest!"
"The emotions of the mighty need not be repressed. In the face of a pest, simply steamroll them as a lesson!"
"Complete the mission for a reward??? (The reward will be issued upon completion of the mission)"
"Embark on the journey of the Pummel!"
