ps, Regarding the matter of voting for monthly tickets...it must be a long-term effort, done daily, frequently, with no room for any slackness or carelessness.

Competing for monthly tickets is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall back!

Brothers, let's step on the gas!

※※※

This was just a family gathering, evident from the fact that everyone brought their girlfriends and wives. It wasn't the kind of orgy that Premier League players generally enjoy, so the party didn't last all night. By ten o'clock in the evening, everyone had said their goodbyes one after another.

Everyone had a great time, even Suárez, who was initially reluctant, ended up chatting happily with his friends, completely forgetting his previous hesitation.

After seeing off the last guest, and waiting for the barbecue restaurant staff to load their equipment onto the truck, and settling the bill,

Chen Hero finally returned to the yard.

The ground was littered with the garbage left over from the party, looking rather messy.

But that was nothing; he could hire a cleaning company to take care of everything tomorrow.

He had drunk a lot of alcohol today and was feeling a bit dizzy.

The once lively garden suddenly became deserted. The colorful lights hanging on the branches were still twinkling, but the guests had all left, and only the garbage underfoot testified to how many people had been having fun here just now.

Standing in the garden strewn with debris, Chen Hero sighed softly.

Then he sat down in a beach chair, took out his cell phone, and started dialing.

"Hey, Christine? Are you asleep? It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you...You've started working again? How is it? Are you used to it?..."

The next day at team training, many people greeted Chen Hero loudly. Clearly, yesterday's party had been a success, and everyone's goodwill towards Chen Hero had further increased. After all, this was the first time Chen Hero had invited all the team players to his home as guests. At most, he would invite a few teammates he was close to for small gatherings.

Chen Hero was very happy with everyone's performance. He was already thinking about checking whether the "Integrate into the Team" task had been completed after returning home in the evening - he had always thought this task was very simple, but who would have thought that he just couldn't complete it? Why? He had already gained the goodwill of more than half of his teammates, but he couldn't make at least three good friends. The task progress told him that he had now made two good friends, one was Martin Škrtel, and the other was the team's fringe player, Adam Johnson. He was just one short, but he couldn't make one no matter what, which made Chen Hero very depressed.

Originally, he thought it was a very simple task, but he didn't expect it to drag on for so long without being completed. The task had an extra requirement: the faster he completed it, the better the rewards he would get. If he could complete this task before the league started, in addition to receiving a large amount of experience rewards, he would also receive an extra talent point, this talent point was named "Because of Friendship". The specific effect was that in the game, passes from friends with whom he had a good relationship would have a greater probability of allowing him to score. In other words, his friends would have more opportunities to assist him on the field, the passes to him would be more threatening, and he himself would benefit from it. This probability was...fifty percent!

So Chen Hero was very eager to complete this task, but he didn't expect that it was already October and it still hadn't been completed. The talent rewarded by this task was still there, but the probability had dropped to thirty percent. Chen Hero felt that it was decreasing by ten percent every month. In September, the probability of this talent was forty percent, and now it had become thirty percent. If he still couldn't complete it in October, it would become twenty percent in November...If this continued, this task would become completely useless. Even if it was completed, the only reward would be experience, and this excellent talent would be gone.

How could Chen Hero not be anxious?

He held a party yesterday, hoping to further close the relationship between himself and his teammates in this way. So when he saw everyone greeting him, they seemed to be more enthusiastic than usual. He was secretly happy, waiting to go home and see if the task was completed.

After being secretly happy, Chen Hero saw Suárez, then went up and put his arm around the other's shoulders: "How was the fun yesterday, Luis?"

Suárez was feeling embarrassed about this matter - he had a great time yesterday. But after returning home, he felt that his performance was embarrassing, because he actually went to his enemy's party and had a great time...

I should be hostile to him, I should not be able to stand everything about him, but why did I think the party yesterday was so good?

This won't do!

I have to show my position, I can't let him be too proud!

Just as he was thinking about this, Chen Hero came to ask him.

So he coughed and showed a not very satisfied look on his face: "Uh, although you were able to gather everyone together for a party, which is already not easy, but...actually, um, it wasn't as fun as I imagined!"

Chen Hero was stunned for a moment.

Suárez saw Chen Hero's expression, and he was very proud: I said it! Yes, this is my true thought! How about it, did I scare you?! Hahahaha! You understand now, right...

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Chen Hero laughed, but the smile seemed to have a different meaning in it no matter how you looked at it...

"Oh--" He nodded, pretending to be suddenly enlightened. "You're right, Luis. There are too many people, it's inevitable that some people can't let go, but I didn't expect you to like to play like that! How about this, next time it will just be a few of us, me, you, Adam and Martin, the four of us go out and have a good time!"

"Eh?" Suárez didn't react - What do I like to play? What is a good time to play!

Chen Hero didn't give him a chance to express his doubts, and slapped him hard on the back again, laughing loudly: "It's settled then! Hahaha!"

In the laughter, he seemed to see the prototype of another Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps branch...

He left St. Petersburg, but the St. Petersburg Zenit Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps, led by Captain Denisov and others, was still carrying out activities in full swing, and had become a traditional small group of Zenit. Many young people who like to play have joined it.

He left Naples, and the Naples Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps did not stop its activities because of this. There are Cassano, Hamsik, Arshavin, and Sanchez, Maggio and others, they will definitely not stop there.

Now that he has arrived in Liverpool and met the old member of the Zenit Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps, the capable general, known as the "Die-Hard Dual Flights Enthusiast" Martin Škrtel, it seems a bit unreasonable if he doesn't start a Liverpool branch of the Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps?

※※※

Chen Hero left with a smile, but left the troubles to Suárez.

Suárez was indeed very distressed.

Because he couldn't figure it out - he wanted to compete with Chen Hero, to compete for the position of the offensive core on the field, so he never gave Chen Hero a good cross in the game. But why does he now feel that his relationship with Chen Hero is getting closer and developing in a good direction? Chen Hero invited him to his house as a guest, and now he wants to drag him to participate in some activities to have a good time...

How did things develop like this?

He felt that he had just slapped Chen Hero in the face, why didn't he react?

Is this person naturally slow, or too scheming?

Suárez couldn't figure it out.

※※※

Chen Hero had thought about whether his relationship with Suárez was considered a relatively good friend. The answer was no, they were friends, but the relationship should not be that good yet.

Although Suárez assisted him with two goals, if two assists could make you good friends, then friendship would be too cheap...

Chen Hero was now just one good friend short of completing the "Integrate into the Team" task. He had to think about whether he could find a breakthrough from Suárez. Currently, the relationship between Suárez and himself was progressing the fastest, from nodding acquaintances at the beginning, to being able to speak to each other in training later, being able to exchange a few greetings when they met, and then assisting him in the game...He felt that if he focused on Suárez, would it allow Suárez and his relationship to progress by leaps and bounds?

In fact, Chen Hero really didn't care about the large amount of experience rewarded by the task. What he valued was the talent.

So far, the talents on the system's original talent tree have been almost maxed out by him. The few that haven't been maxed out don't matter, the only difference is the degree of strengthening. He felt that his strength had reached its limit through the improvement of his existing talent points.

If he wanted to improve himself further, the talent points and skills rewarded by doing tasks were the only way - apprenticeship could of course also improve himself, but the improvement cycle was too long. He was still learning free kicks from Juninho, it had been a season, and so far, he hasn't graduated...

So if he wanted to improve himself quickly, he had to rely on doing tasks.

This talent point could increase the number of assists he received, and his goals would naturally increase as well.

He can't delay any longer! If he delays any longer, even if he completes the task, he won't get the talent point reward. What's the use then?

So Chen Hero decided that the activities of the Liverpool branch of the Drinking, Eating and Merrymaking Corps should start as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and it should be developed quickly, so as to close the relationship between himself and Suárez...

Just like that, two days later, Chen Hero informed Suárez to go out and play together after training the next day.

"You, me, Martin and Adam. Just the four of us!" Chen Hero pointed to Martin Škrtel and Adam Johnson next to him. "It's agreed, everyone is not allowed to bring a female companion."

Martin Škrtel smiled lewdly, as lewd as he could be. Adam Johnson next to him also looked eager to try.

Suárez didn't intend to agree at first. He felt that he was getting too close to Chen Hero, which was not good. But when he heard Chen Hero's last sentence, and then saw the expressions of the two people, he suddenly understood - everyone is a man, some things don't need to be said too clearly, they all understand.

These guys are not going to do good deeds...

They must be going to a bar, and a bar related to alcohol and women!

He thought of something from this - this kind of activity will definitely waste and consume a lot of their energy. He has never heard of anyone who frequents nightclubs and can maintain a good condition.

Even superstars like Ronaldinho, Robinho, and Adriano have also declined sharply due to frequenting nightclubs, and eventually had to end the glory of their careers early.

So can Chen Hero avoid this situation?

He felt that Chen Hero should be no exception. Young, and so fond of playing, his future can be great is a wonder!

That's right! Why not take this opportunity to completely drag him down, let him linger in the world of feasting and revelry, and eventually indulge in it...In this way, he will not be able to win against himself in the competition!

After his state declines, will Dalglish still let him be the offensive core?

No!

At that time, isn't the team's offensive core himself?

Aha! I am really a genius! I can think of such a perfect battle plan!

Suárez made up his mind and nodded to the three people: "Okay, I'll go too!"

In order to make them believe it, he also showed an expression that every man understands.

The four people looked at each other and laughed.
