Chapter 1 Candlelight

The candlelight flickered.

Scented candles emitted a faint fragrance.

Abu, Ms. Skaia, and the assistant were chatting animatedly.

Li Kang suddenly heard a low growl from a young beast.

[Chelsea Totem - Stamford's favorability towards you has increased.]

["King of London" achievement unlock progress: Next season, you continue to represent a London team in the Premier League, with a chance to increase the favorability of the totem phantom beast.]

Too much had happened in just one week.

Li Kang had been celebrating the treble with his teammates just a few days ago, and now he was discussing transfer matters with several clubs.

After a long while.

The group got up to leave.

Abu said firmly, "Li! Chelsea will agree to all your conditions. You will become the King of Stamford Bridge!"

Ms. Skaia added, "We will hire the best doctors. No matter how long it takes, Chelsea is willing to wait for your return."

Not to mention a seriously injured Li Kang, think of Crespo and Shevchenko back then. Even if they were loaned out or couldn't play, Chelsea was willing to pay them millions of pounds in annual salary every year.

"This is our club's attitude."

"You don't have to make a decision right away. Arsenal is even more anxious than you are."

Hearing this.

The assistant couldn't help but sigh: When it rains, the club wants to sell and can't be kept.

Li Kang suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

[Ding! Side quest activated: Blue Behemoth. (Optional)]

[Quest Introduction: Your days at Stamford Bridge will be easy. Stand shoulder to shoulder with the behemoth, crushing everything!]

[Quest Rewards: Destroyer Midfielder Template Lv2, Bond Link, "Blue Angel" Module (Legendary), Blessing of the Thames (Legendary).]

[Destroyer Midfielder Template Lv2: Greatly increases the template ability, effect unknown.]

[Bond Link: You have a chance to establish bonds with Chelsea teammates during matches (permanent passive), increasing the bond bonus effect based on the level of understanding.]

[Blessing of the Thames: When you represent Chelsea, it eliminates the negative emotional impact of all modules.]

[Quest selection time limit: 60 days.]

Night fell.

Li Kang and the assistant left the super yacht.

The two got into a business car.

The assistant said happily, "Chelsea's salary is too high. Although Arsenal respects your personal wishes, they won't complete the transfer so easily. They will definitely haggle."

"I never thought so many things would happen in these few days!"

"My head is still dizzy."

"Enrique arrived at the Colney training center today. He doesn't want to let you leave, but considering your injury situation, there is no place for you in the new tactical framework for the time being."

"What? You still think it's reasonable?"

"If you stay at Arsenal, the club hopes you can accept a pay cut and the new contract will be changed to a one-year contract."

"I understand what you mean. You're saying that from the perspective of the club's management, these arrangements are all reasonable."

"After all, clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea are still in the minority."

"We understand Arsenal, but we have more choices."

The assistant chattered endlessly.

Li Kang held the tablet computer and opened his email.

Guardiola sent an email with only two paragraphs:

"Unlimited firing rights!"

"Let's solve the dilemma of overlapping wing attack space together!"

[Ding! Side quest triggered: Etihad Rising! (Optional)]

[Quest Introduction: A tactical obsessive's crazy experiment. This is the easiest way for you to be promoted to "quasi-ball king". You and he will promote the revolution of football tactics.]

[Quest Rewards: "Inverted Midfielder" Template Lv2, Blue Moon Magician, "Ultimate Passing and Running" Module (Legendary), "System Beneficiary" Module (Legendary), "Rotation Limit" Module (Legendary), "Wing Attack" Module (Legendary), "Space Tear" Module (Legendary), "Weak Side Break" Module (Legendary).]

Li Kang roughly looked at the reward effects.

Six permanent legendary modules in Guardiola's Man City system.

He had long known that Guardiola's "ball king on the defensive line" had unlimited firing rights, just like the "Cancelo Plan" that the other party had sent in an email not long ago.

However.

After his insertion, he couldn't solve the dilemma of redundant and overlapping wing attack space.

The best-case scenario was: one person sucking up the entire Man City's blood, breaking historical records in attack and defense data, sacrificing teammates in Guardiola's Man City, which emphasizes the whole and blurring positions, and ultimately failing to reach the championship.

The worst-case scenario was: the problem could not be solved, and they would break up.

Arsenal was a half-finished painting. Limited by funds and bench depth, many players could not meet Wenger's tactical requirements at certain times, so Li Kang could improve the team's offensive and defensive strength after having full freedom.

But Man City's system was close to perfect, as perfect as a world-famous painting.

Chelsea?

According to Abu and Ms. Skaia, Li Kang could give suggestions for the composition, and the painter who wielded the brush was willing to absorb everything.

Li Kang ultimately did not reply to Guardiola's email.

Pulling down.

It was Simeone's message again.

The email content was very long.

The general meaning was that Atletico Madrid's major shareholders would inject capital, and the club was able to give Li Kang generous treatment.

A tactical diagram was also attached.

"We will sign Morata together."

"You, Diego Costa, and Morata will form a comparable.
