"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission! Raise the speed of the football to the speed of light! Mission reward..."
"!!!!!!!!"
"System skill upgrade conditions reduced by eighty percent!"
"The speed of light!? No wonder it disappeared from the scene directly!"
At this moment, all the fans were in a daze. The staff on the scene also didn't know what to do, but it was incredibly quiet.
"What next?"
Cao Baming stood on the field and suddenly felt a peculiar sensation on his back, as if he was no longer standing on the field, but on the peak of one of the world's highest mountains.
Suddenly, his mind was filled with some strange information.
The match result?
The match had already ended!?
Nottingham Forest won four to two, Cao Baming completed a hat-trick, and Messi scored!
But it was only sixty-odd minutes... but why did he even have the memory of the match ending?
It wasn't strange to know these things by relying on time perception, but...
Cao Baming's expression instantly turned serious. At this moment, the shouts of the fans from the sidelines became clear again. After deliberation, the referee team unanimously ruled the football out of bounds, a goal kick, and the match continued!
After all, they had no other choice. The match couldn't end without a resolution. Perhaps they were mistaken, the ball was too fast, they could investigate after the match!
With a resounding whistle, the match resumed.
But Cao Baming had no intention of continuing.
Wait, the mission reward just now...
The system skill unlock condition was directly reduced by eighty percent, which meant...!
He now possessed the conditions for unlocking it!!!
At this moment, a light screen suddenly appeared before his eyes. Cao Baming was about to receive the ball, but white covered everything!
This was... a simulation? This was the feeling of entering a time bubble every time, no, it was exiting!
The system's highest reward gradually appeared. Finally, the figure of the voice he had always heard appeared before him. It turned out she was a person!
She was really a person!!!
"The system's highest skill is to break free from this endless simulated world and obtain absolute freedom!"
The woman in a purple dress said, and she was indeed cute.
Cao Baming was stunned. He looked around. Everything was dark and he couldn't see anything, except for the person in front of him. Wait, he couldn't even see his own body, or even touch it!
"Is this freedom? I'd rather not have it!"
"Was everything before a simulation? What about the real world?"
"If I am free, please send me to the real world!"
"The match is not over yet. I promised the players I would reward them, and I still need to personally train the team, participate in the Champions League..."
"What about Messi? How is he, is he injured?"
"The match has already ended??"
A series of questions appeared in his mind, but the system's answer was only one sentence.
"You already know the answer."
...
Cao Baming suddenly realized, and his body gradually materialized. He could see!
He could see his hands, his body, even his voice...
Was everything over? No, everything was just beginning. Time, space, and form would no longer limit me. I would become the god of a new world!
That's right, the world didn't exist. This news greatly shocked Cao Baming.
However, if nothing exists, how could one obtain it without personally creating it?
Heh, it turns out all of this was just the beginning. If he was God now, surely everything would unfold according to his plans!
The result of this match, and even the next five, ten, or a hundred matches, were all known.
Nottingham Forest, hehe, they didn't even win the league championship, but they made a comeback in the Champions League and won the Champions League trophy!
Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer, Max joining, Messi's summoning successful, Ronaldo leaving Manchester United...
All of this would happen, but now it was all controllable.
But then he thought, if everything was controllable, and all things were arranged in advance by himself, what would be the point?
When watching a football match, the excitement and tension brought by the unknown were what made it enjoyable. If one knew the outcome of everything in advance, what meaning would the process hold?
"I don't want this kind of Godhood!"
"System! Request system skill downgrade, I want to return to a state where I know nothing!"
"Ding!"
After a brief sound, there was no further news.
Reality was that everything around was extremely quiet, so quiet it made one's scalp tingle. Was knowing everything really good?
At this moment, a beam of light flashed across the sky. What was that, the only light in this vast darkness.
Suddenly, an idea struck him! Since anything could be achieved, why would he need a system?
"I will do it myself! I no longer need the system!"
"No, she's so beautiful, I can keep her. She can wait for me in my villa!"
"Then, the real important matters! I will handle them myself!"
The next moment, Cao Baming closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, he was already on a football field! The field was so vast, much higher and larger than an ordinary stadium.
That's right! This was the new stadium he had personally built, and the match was in progress!
A football flew from the sky. Cao Baming's eyes flashed. At this moment, he knew that the beam of light in the darkness just now was the trajectory of this football!
From a distance, Borri looked at him with anticipation, as if calling out, "Receive the ball!"
The next moment, Carlos stepped forward to interfere, but Cao Baming, with his absolute advantage in physical strength, secured his position!
He raised his head, surveyed the field with pride, then controlled the ball with his chest, absorbing the force and directly bringing it to his thigh, then his instep.
His gaze swept across the goal. It was not far ahead, and he was just one step away from the penalty area!
Step-over! Change of direction and acceleration! Messi even came to assist in the defense, but it was useless!
Cao Baming made a shooting gesture, swung his leg, and the football flew forward!
"Goal!!! Cao Baming! Cao Baming! Cao Baming!"
"Cao Baming has completed a hat-trick, helping Nottingham Forest to take the lead in the sixty-ninth minute! Wonderful! Absolutely brilliant!"
The entire stadium erupted! The fans' shouts were so clear!
At this moment, the system's voice indeed did not come. There were no more goal rewards, and no more system skill upgrade reminders.
Cao Baming performed his signature celebration, turned calmly, and smiled calmly.
He then looked at the VIP area in the stands. She was indeed still there. It turned out the system had always been there, she had just found another way to accompany him.
At this moment, excited shouts came from behind him. His teammates rushed forward one by one!
They were all excited!
"You're amazing!"
"Your passes were good too!"
"Keep up the good work!"
"Come on!"
