"Feeling 48 points of negative emotion from Albert Beaton, the system is generating bubbles..."

An ordinary white bubble condensed and took shape next to the pirate captain's trousers and leather shoes.

White...

The negative emotion value is not high enough.

It would be nice if it was a blue skill bubble.

Gu Ran felt a little disappointed.

However, it is not a loss to be able to pick up the white bubble of the strongest player on the opposite side.

Gu Ran waited patiently for the opportunity to pick it up.

——When the system rating is D, you can only pick up items by touching the bubbles. However, when the rating is upgraded to C, you can not only see the contents of the bubbles, but also collect them through your mind.

"Well," Albert finally couldn't stand the bread tongs anymore, so he retracted his hand and said with a professional fake smile:

"Welcome, gentlemen, to our Manchester Grammar School. Our group match will officially begin at 3pm. The specific schedule is that lunch time is from 12pm to 1pm. We will provide buffet restaurant No. 5 for you to dine in."

"From 1 to 2 o'clock is the break time. We will provide a lounge with sofas and reclining chairs for everyone to rest."

"The training time is from 2 to 2:30. We will open the No. 9 training ground for you to use."

"The admission time is after 2:30. The official venue is the Corsair Football Field located right behind the church. Please don't miss it."

The assistant drummer quickly took out his notebook and wrote down these important time points and locations.

Coach Carter put his hands behind his back in a cold and arrogant manner, "Let's go, let's go eat first."

Lunch and training grounds are both required provisions of the host school, so Coach Carter naturally has the right to do so.

Albert smiled and said, "We have something else to do, so we won't accompany you any longer. I wish you a pleasant meal, and we'll see you at the game."

"Um."

Coach Carter snorted and led the way onto the campus of Manchester Grammar School.

Albert and other boys in suits stood aside and watched the Southampton team leave.

“Fuck…”

Albert rubbed his hands that had lost their color from being pinched, and whispered, "Fuck and these southern country bumpkins, when we get on the field, I will make them—"

At this moment, Gu Ran walked silently to Albert's side and touched the bubbles under Albert's feet with his toes——

"Light~ The host has picked up the results from the ordinary bubble: dynamic ball control training +10 hours, today's collection progress 9/10."

Wow~ Dynamic ball control training! This is a very advanced training! This Albert really deserves to have been in Manchester United's youth camp. Even the content of his usual training is more advanced than that of ordinary school team players.

Ordinary dribbling training is basically just dribbling the ball around the pole.

The dynamic ball control training simulates actual combat, with a dedicated sparring partner coming up to intercept and steal the ball! The effect of such dynamic training is more than ten times stronger than ordinary pole-circling training!

Being able to pick up such a technically sophisticated white bubble, I really made a fortune this time...

Gu Ran couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a smile.

Albert looked up and saw Gu Ran staring at him with a smirk.

Albert shuddered immediately, “What are you looking at?”

Gu Ran looked cold and arrogant, "...see what's wrong with you?"

The drummer quickly ran over to hold Gu Ran, and shouted in a serious tone: "Gu, don't do it! Don't forget that you once swore that you would never use your Chinese Kung Fu to break seven ribs again!"

Shit~ I am... just passively pretending to be cool!

Not every Chinese person knows Kung Fu, okay!

Gu Ran almost laughed out loud, but luckily his realistic acting skills backed him up, "Ahem... yes, I swore... let's forget it this time."

Albert stared in amazement as Gu Ran and the drummer walked away.

“Fuck…”

Albert wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "These country bumpkins in Southampton are really good at boasting... But that Chinese guy does look like someone who is not easy to mess with..."

After entering the gate of Manchester Arts and Science School, the team leader Mian Bao praised sincerely: "Gu, your performance just now really shows the spirit of us southern men! I didn't expect that you have only joined the school team for a few days, but you are on the same page with us and are willing to stand up for the glory of the school team."

"That's right, Gu, good job!"

"Gu, I won't treat you as an outsider anymore!"

"We are, the Southampton Stags Steelhorns!"

The other school team players patted Gu Ran on the shoulders.

Even Minato, who was always sharp-tongued, nodded slightly to Gu Ran after this little incident.

Only Rusty asked nervously, "Gu... did you really break seven ribs of someone else? Oh my god, I was lucky I was calm at the time in the cafe."

Gu Ran was suddenly at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain it.

Fortunately, at this time, Coach Carter turned around and shouted coldly: "Hurry up and catch up, finish lunch early, rest early, and then take the time to train after resting! We are not here for vacation!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Southampton players walked with their heads held high on the campus of Manchester Grammar School.

It has to be said that although Manchester School of Arts and Sciences is not an aristocratic public school, as a well-known secondary school ranked among the top 50 in the UK, the infrastructure on campus is still very sound.

The entire campus is like a super large high-end park. In addition to teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, library buildings, gymnasium buildings, concert halls, and theaters, there is also a church.

The campus roads were not very wide, but the lawns on both sides were well maintained. There were rows of ginkgo trees, tulip trees, elm trees, banyan trees, durian trees, apple trees, cherry trees, and many flowers and plants that Gu Ran couldn't name.

It was lunchtime, and the boys and girls from Manchester School were sitting in groups of three or four on the benches in the courtyard, chatting and laughing:

"Are they from Southampton?"

"Why aren't they wearing suits? Their hairstyles look so tacky!"

"Haha, I'm a southern country bumpkin. I've never been to a big city."

"Am I seeing right? There's a black-haired Asian guy in their team?"

"It seems that the Southampton school team really has no one available, so they actually found an Asian to make up the numbers."

"But, that Asian guy looks pretty handsome..."

The players of the Southampton school team naturally heard these contemptuous comments.

There's no way around it, that's how it is when playing away from home.

They had already prepared themselves for these unfavorable factors.

As for Gu Ran, who had 12 years of life experience ahead of him, he didn't care about this kind of situation at all.

The campus of Manchester School of Arts and Sciences is very large. After walking for more than ten minutes, Gu Ran and his friends finally entered Cafeteria No. 5.

The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes, and today it is only serving visiting teams.

Coach Carter waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat."

"Yes, coach."

The team members picked up their plates and began to choose their dishes.

Rusty took a quick look while holding the plate, "Tsk, what's so arrogant about those bastards from a liberal arts school? The buffet here is pretty average!"

As he spoke, Xiu Tiao picked up five large lobsters with lemon and cheese on the plate, and also grabbed a large plate of lamb kidneys stewed with herbs and mushrooms.

Didn’t you say you couldn’t eat anything for lunch today?

Gu Ran complained secretly, then selectively took a pan-fried chicken breast, a few pieces of roasted rabbit, a few steaks and a small plate of steamed shellfish.

These are the main dishes that are more suitable for players' nutrition.

After eating all this, Gu Ran was already 70% full.

Gu Ran went to get two more eggs and filled a bowl of cream of mushroom soup.

After he was 80% full, Gu Ran stopped eating.

If you have to come on as a substitute in the afternoon, eating too much will affect your condition.

After lunch was over for more than half an hour, it was exactly 1pm.

The school team players left the cafeteria and went to the lounge on the second floor of the restaurant to rest.

2pm.

The Southampton school team players went to the No. 9 training ground in high spirits.
