’Is it here? Who is it?’

Although Lance had never played gacha games, he felt exactly like a miHoYo player 10 years later!

After a ten-pull, he finally got a gold card.

Who could it be?

He waited for a long time, but unlike before, no prompt subtitles appeared directly.

After the system upgrade, it seemed to have updated the character entrance animation?

In a daze, Lance seemed not to be sitting on the locker room bench, but rather on a green field.

’Finally, it’s my turn to appear!’

A rather free and unrestrained voice came from deep within, more energetic than Nagi Seishiro’s laziness! Full of passion and wildness!

Lance looked down at his feet, was this a first-person perspective?!

On the ethereal football field, surrounded by strangers in blue clothes, all staring at him menacingly.

And Lance, oh no, this unfamiliar character was stepping on the ball, his heart filled with surging confidence!

Rather than confidence, it was a kind of arrogance about his own talent, and a pure love for football!

One step from genius! One step from madness!

I play like a monster?

No, I am the monster itself!

Hehe, hehehe—hahaha!!

Lance’s mouth uncontrollably split into a sinister smile!

He felt all 360 pores on his body, each one exuding excitement!

And unrestrained freedom!

Barefoot, he slowly nudged the football, dribbling towards the goal!

Surrender to impulse!

Dance a dribbling dance!

Bang—

A faceless opposing player slid in, but Lance instinctively dodged with a Marseille turn, his speed undiminished, accelerating with the ball!

Lance had never felt such exhilaration galloping on the field!

Intuition!

Improvisation!

Again, two players closed in, the strong defenders were clearly not easy to deal with!

Before, Lance would definitely not have forced it, and would have passed to a teammate.

But at this moment, a wild flame ignited in Lance’s chest!

Dribble past them!

His step-overs were so fast they almost left afterimages!

He pushed the ball out with the outside of his foot then lightning-fast pulled it back!

Ronaldinho’s signature Elastico was easier than breathing under Lance’s feet!

Elastico into a nutmeg, then a flick to his left foot for a chip over the defender!

He turned and dribbled past 3 people in a row!

Dance a dribbling dance!

Play with an empty mind!

Let my heart go in the direction of happiness!

Striding like a meteor, never stopping!

He could maintain absolute control of the football even while sprinting at top speed!

He ran a long distance, dribbling past several players!

Facing the goalkeeper, he performed a Ronaldo-style step-over, swaying widely left and right, making the goalkeeper fall to the ground!

Annoying! A bunch of small fries!

Bang—

He chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, and Lance felt his whole body fly into the air!

A spinning overhead kick, sending the ball into the net!

Borrowing a character’s line from a popular mobile game years later—

The beast slumbering in my body! It’s awakened!

That’s right!

Compared to Nagi Seishiro, the new character was even more aggressive, more like a beast full of primitive, bloody slaughter!

For a moment, Lance even hesitated, wondering if he should draw such a character.

What if he was influenced by the character?

Nagi Seishiro had already subtly influenced his mindset enough.

Lance used to be a very playful person, who loved to go out.

Since drawing Nagi Seishiro, Lance had become a bit of a homebody.

Club, school, apartment, a three-point line.

Sometimes, Chloe would send messages inviting him to go shopping, but Lance would refuse, finding it troublesome.

Would this character have an influence?

Lance himself couldn’t say for sure.

Bachira Meguru template loaded successfully!

Warm reminder: When there are multiple backup templates, please select a template to equip before the match begins. More equipment slots can be unlocked after upgrading!

When a character with 100% Fusion Value exists, regardless of whether that character is equipped, a 10-second Support Summon can be activated. The Support enters a cooldown period after ending;

Current Support 1 / 1, only 1 Support can be summoned per match

...

After carefully reading the instructions, Lance generally understood the content after the system update.

In addition to new characters, character card equipment and a support summon system were added.

Currently, there is only 1 empty equipment slot, so only 1 character can be equipped per match, and an S-rank template support can be summoned once for 10 seconds.

Lance, who had played the ’King of Fighters’ series, clearly knew that a support character was summoned to help you unleash a skill, then leave, potentially turning the tide of battle at a crucial moment.

The problem was that Lance currently only had 2 characters to choose from, so there wasn’t much room for maneuver.

He could only equip the Bachira Meguru template first, and then use Nagi Seishiro as a support character.

Both characters had their own strengths and provided different kinds of help to Lance.

Nagi Seishiro was more like a forward, creating shooting opportunities by shaking off defenders in small spaces near the penalty area; his dribbling, ball control, dribbling past opponents, and shooting within 3 meters were all world-class. However, when the dribbling distance exceeded 3 meters and required a long-distance run, Nagi Seishiro seemed a bit out of his depth.

Perhaps it was related to his own insufficient development.

This season, although Lance scored 28 goals and undoubtedly secured the Bundesliga Golden Boot, most of them required teammates’ passes and firepower support.

If the backfield encountered high-pressing and went silent, Lance would find it difficult to get opportunities.

In the match against Arsenal, and the match against Bayern Munich, when the opponent had an absolute advantage in possession, Lance was often invisible, unable to get possession of the ball at all.

His retreats were mostly only for participating in passing and organizing, making it difficult for him to dribble the ball through a gap on his own.

Now with the Bachira Meguru template, everything was uncertain.

Compared to Nagi Seishiro, Bachira Meguru was more like Kaká, Lionel Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo, possessing strong individual combat capabilities.

At the same time, his dribbling and ball handling were like Ronaldinho or Neymar, allowing him to perform many more incredible maneuvers with his wild dribbling intuition!

Dribbling from the backfield and single-handedly tearing through the opponent’s penalty area was not a problem!

Perhaps not as good as Nagi Seishiro in grasping shooting and passing opportunities, Bachira Meguru was definitely an expert at breaking through defenses!

Anyway, he had options, and could choose to equip different templates based on different opponents. The more character templates, the better!

”Hey, Lance, what are you thinking about? We’ve already advanced to the quarterfinals, why do you still seem troubled?”

”No.”

Lance turned back and showed an evil smile.

Julian Brandt suddenly felt a dangerous sensation, as if his hairs were standing on end!

”I’m excited! It would be great if our quarterfinal opponent was Real Madrid.”

”Huh?”

Julian Brandt suddenly felt a little panicked!

For some reason, he felt a deep fear towards the current Lance!

This guy was a monster!
