Chapter 1 Chen Hero's Decision

Having made up his mind, Chen Hero went to Klasnic to have him translate and explain the matter to Götze. Usually, he didn't communicate with Götze through Klasnic because he didn't want to rely on others. Most importantly, he didn't want Götze to think that with Klasnic as his translator, he wouldn't have to study English seriously. So he used this awkward communication method to force Götze to master English as soon as possible, even if he could only answer simple questions, it would be better than just saying "hello" and "goodbye."

But now, because this was a very complex and serious matter, he had to borrow Klasnic's help.

Klasnic didn't know what Chen Hero wanted to say to Götze, but he figured Chen Hero always had something to say, so he didn't ask too much.

He went to find Götze with Chen Hero.

Seeing Klasnic, Götze looked very happy.

In Liverpool, the only person who could chat with Götze was Klasnic, who had played in the Bundesliga for many years. The two of them often communicated during this time, and Klasnic was also the person Götze was most familiar with in this team, so he naturally felt very close to him.

However, seeing Chen Hero behind Klasnic, he knew that it wasn't Klasnic who was looking for him this time, but the team's third captain had something to talk about.

When the three of them met, they exchanged a few simple greetings.

Really simple, such as "Did you sleep well yesterday?" "Is the food in the hotel delicious?" "What new words did you learn in English class?"

After saying a few words, Chen Hero finally got to the point.

"It's like this, Mario. I don't think it's a good idea for you to keep living in a hotel. Liverpool is so great, but you stay in the hotel every day, it's really difficult to adapt and get familiar with this place... So I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Götze nodded after listening to Klasnic's translation.

"Well, my suggestion is this... Your English is still not good enough to live in Liverpool without worries, but I don't think it's a good idea for you to continue living in a hotel. So, why don't you move to my house and live with me!"

Klasnic translated as Chen Hero spoke. But when he heard Chen Hero's last sentence, he was stunned.

Then he turned to ask Chen Hero: "If I heard correctly, Hero. You're planning to live with Götze? In the same house? Under the same roof?"

Chen Hero nodded: "That's right! Is there a problem?"

Klasnic quickly shook his head: "No!"

"Then why aren't you continuing to translate? Can't you see Mario looking at us both with innocent and confused eyes?"

Chen Hero pointed at Götze and smiled at him, but when he faced Klasnic, his expression became serious.

"Okay..." Klasnic translated Chen Hero's words to Götze.

Götze was also a little surprised after hearing it. Instinctively, his first reaction was to refuse.

"No, I don't think that's necessary..."

When Klasnic translated this sentence to Chen Hero, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: I knew this would be the result! You and Mario are not particularly good friends, how could Mario possibly live in your house?

In fact, Chen Hero knew Götze's reaction even without Klasnic's translation.

But he didn't care what Götze thought, or whether he was being abrupt. He had to get Götze to his house, otherwise he wouldn't be able to complete the mission!

Not the mission the system gave him, but the mission in reality.

"No, you need to do this, Mario," he continued. "You have to live with me so you can get familiar with us, so you can adapt to living in this unfamiliar city of Liverpool... Besides, living together will also help you improve your English. You always live in a hotel, the only English you can hear are the hotel waiters' fixed greetings, what's the use of that?"

"Uh... I don't think it's necessary to go to so much trouble, I will try my best to adapt to everything here..." Götze felt very awkward living under the same roof with someone he wasn't familiar with, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"You've said these words to me countless times, Mario. My ears are calloused." Chen Hero poked his ears. "But look at your current progress—when I have something serious to discuss with you, I still have to rely on 'Kidney Fighter' to translate—we can't possibly be unable to communicate without him, right? Or, why don't you come out and have fun with us tonight?"

When Götze heard Chen Hero issue an invitation to the eating, drinking, and playing group, he felt a headache—he really wasn't interested in that kind of occasion and activity...

He even hated the very noisy environment of nightclubs. As soon as he walked into one, he felt a headache. When he was in Dortmund, he had been taken to one by his teammates, and he ran away after insisting on staying for an hour. He never went to such a place again.

Seeing Götze shaking his head, Chen Hero said: "Look at you, you don't want to do this, you don't want to do that, how can you integrate into the team? Everyone is playing together, but you don't play with them, how bad is that? You're isolating yourself..."

He really deserved to be a captain, Chen Hero's words were much more skillful than before.

"What did you come to Liverpool for, Mario? To achieve success, to go to the next level, right? But if you can't integrate into the team for a long time, do you think the boss will let you start, will he give you a chance? By then you won't even be able to play in the game, so what are you talking about breaking through yourself?"

What going to the next level, what breaking through himself, these were all things Götze had told him. After spending so much time, all the results were that Chen Hero understood the reasons and goals for Götze's transfer to Liverpool...

Everyone can imagine how slow the progress of these two people was...

"You should put down all your pretenses now and wholeheartedly integrate into the Liverpool family. Following me will get twice the result with half the effort!"

After Chen Hero threw out this set of combined punches, Götze's attitude changed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll go to your house and live with you."

Chen Hero smiled triumphantly after hearing Götze's answer. His plan was successful!

However, in Klasnic's eyes, Chen Hero's smile always felt malicious, full of some kind of conspiracy...

He was wondering whether to remind Götze to remember to lock the door when he went to bed at night...

But he, who had lost his value, had already been kicked away by Chen Hero.

Chen Hero grabbed Götze's arm and pulled him aside: "Very good, we can now talk about the specific details. We'll talk about these things in English, so we can practice your English listening and speaking skills..."

※※※

Don't underestimate the gossiping minds of professional players. This kind of mentality is something that everyone has. So the news that Chen Hero invited Götze to his house to live with him spread throughout the entire Liverpool club in just half a day.

When training ended, Suárez ran over to ask Chen Hero: "Hero, you're letting that German boy go to your house, aren't you finding a huge third wheel for you and Christine?"

Chen Hero didn't care: "Anyway, Christine won't be coming during this time, and besides, I'm not letting him live in my house for the rest of his life. After he adapts to life in Liverpool, I'll let him move out."

"I just always feel weird..." Suárez stroked his chin, frowned, and looked thoughtful.

"What's so weird, Mario isn't a woman!"

"It's precisely because he's not a woman that it's weird..." Suárez rolled his eyes.

Chen Hero scoffed and gave him the middle finger: "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to pick up Götze and get his luggage from the hotel!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Hey, if you're bringing that burden along, can you still go out and play with us, Hero?" Suárez shouted behind him.

Chen Hero waved his hand without turning his head: "I'm taking a break for a while, you guys continue as usual! It's not like you can't do without me!"

After he left, Škrtel, Sánchez, Adam Johnson and others all gathered around.

"How is it, what did Hero say?" Sánchez asked.

Suárez smacked his lips: "I just feel like we've been abandoned... Damn it!"

※※※

Götze didn't have much luggage, because he hadn't found a house yet, so he only had his personal belongings. Chen Hero helped him put it in the car, and the two of them didn't rush home, but went to a restaurant to eat first.

Christine wasn't at home, so Chen Hero always ate out. Now that there was one more Götze, he had to eat out even more. Because only by constantly going out could he learn about Liverpool and gradually adapt to life there.

Because he was driving, he couldn't use gestures. Chen Hero just spoke to Götze in English, who was sitting in the passenger seat, without caring whether Götze understood or not. He just wanted to force him to listen and accept this language environment.

"Today I'm taking you to an Italian restaurant, I often go there to eat, the taste is not bad, but the consumption is very expensive, but I don't think you care about this little bit of money, right? That's a relatively authentic Italian restaurant in Liverpool, many celebrities like to go there to eat, maybe you can even run into a celebrity or two while eating there... But speaking of which, we are also celebrities, hahaha!"

Chen Hero said to himself and laughed to himself.

Götze frowned beside him, listening very seriously and hard, trying to hear the pronunciation of every word Chen Hero said clearly, and then connecting them with the words he had memorized in his mind, and then translating their meaning, and finally connecting these words together to form a sentence that he could understand...

This process was not easy, so he frowned, as if he were a student taking a listening test in an examination room...
