Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 543: Chapter 536: Men Like Beautiful Women

”Hey, hey, hey, Tangtang, are you that excited?” Huahua turned her head and asked skeptically.

”Hehe, Boss Huahua, did you see that? The uncle won!”

”So he won, big deal.” Huahua snorted, she wouldn’t say it out loud, but deep down she felt happy for someone too.

Meanwhile, next to her, Nangong Bingxin was already boiling with excitement. Seeing Real Madrid’s victory, she was also silently cheering for Lin Zifeng. She ended up more nervous than Lin Zifeng and the others by the end of the match.

The unlikely victory of Real Madrid in this match stunned everyone present, even the Real Madrid players found it somewhat unbelievable, as if they were dreaming. However, they credited all their success to their own efforts. During an interview with the school sports council, each one of them seemed eager to hog all the credit for themselves.

The most annoying part was for the Green Arrow Team. The match wasn’t even completely over before they admitted defeat, a massive loss of face indeed.

At this moment, the rise of the Real Madrid Team would undoubtedly bring this new team to a climax.

Especially the Real Madrid players who had just been disheartened and crestfallen, now each one was more arrogant than the next, some even publicly demanded to enter the sports department and later the national team. These naive classmates of theirs had apparently forgotten who the main character who won this match was.

However, when the sports council asked Lin Zifeng about his future plans, his response was simple: he would never play basketball again.

The Real Madrid players asked why in chorus.

”Now with such a great opportunity, you could even make it to the national team in the future, why not continue?”

Lin Zifeng was well aware that this basketball game hadn’t won gloriously. More importantly, he was never really interested in basketball, which left the Real Madrid players who a second ago thought they were unstoppable, utterly speechless.

Lin Zifeng was never one to seek the limelight, whether losing or winning, there was no need to boast.

This also dashed the hopes of other Real Madrid team members to shine.

”Lin, I really don’t understand what you said earlier. Why not continue? Now we’ve even defeated Yunhai University’s number one basketball team, the Green Arrow. We definitely have the strength to win more, and joining the national team could mean an unlimited future!” At this point, a Real Madrid player couldn’t help but step forward and question him.

This guy Lin Zifeng knew. During the last selection game, his performance in basketball was absolutely terrible. He not only refused to play forward but also dragged everyone else down. Even in the recent game, he was cowering in the background, utterly useless. Now seeing Lin Zifeng and Liu Minghui turning the entire game around, this guy was loudly praising his own prowess.

Seeing Lin Zifeng bluntly reject the invitation from the sports council, this guy became somewhat unhappy. After all, everyone is selfish. Lin Zifeng had rejected it outright without his consent. Why should he?

”I just don’t like playing basketball,” Lin Zifeng said indifferently, noticing the selfishness in this guy’s heart.

”But even if you don’t like playing basketball, we do. You rejected everything as a single individual.”

”If you guys want to play, you can continue; I just don’t want to keep playing,” Lin Zifeng said expressionlessly. ”I think you guys should also be aware of your own abilities. Continuing to play wouldn’t be good for you.”

Success and failure are always just a thin line apart. With true ability, there is always a chance of success anywhere and anytime, but without it, relying solely on a moment’s luck will never lead to success.

”But if you leave, how can we continue to play?” The guy spread his arms, blocking Lin Zifeng’s path, looking quite out of control. It seemed that once the matter touched upon one’s future and fate, everyone could lose their humanity. This boy appeared to have already lost some control.

Being noticed by the sports council, possibly entering the national team one day, would undoubtedly start a change in one’s fate.

He certainly didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away.

”Sorry, but I’ve already said, I don’t like playing. If you want to play, I won’t stop you,” Lin Zifeng’s voice grew colder.

”You—”

”What are you trying to do?” Liu Minghui suddenly grabbed the student’s shoulder, making it impossible for him to move even a fraction of an inch.

”Everyone else said they were done fighting, yet you still insist on forcing them to fight? Did you create this competition? You know exactly what role you played during the match. They didn’t take a cent of the prize money. Aren’t you satisfied yet?” Liu Minghui had nothing but disdain for such people. When disaster struck, they fled faster than rabbits; but when good fortune came, they couldn’t wait to push their way to the front.

Watching Lin Zifeng’s retreating figure, the male student pointed at him and said, ”This is a rare opportunity, Liu Minghui. Don’t you want to make it into the national team?”

”I do want to join, but I understand my abilities and know my place,” Liu Minghui said, his gaze intense and his laugh cold. ”The national team is great, but can you play at that level? I’m not mocking you, but based on your performance just now, do you think you could make it into the national team? With those amateur skills of yours? Don’t have your head in one place and your thoughts in another.”

”You...!” The student’s face was burning.

Liu Minghui’s words pierced deeply into his heart.

...

”Uncle, you were so supportive!”

As soon as she got on stage, Liu Tangtang clenched her tiny fists and with crescent-shaped eyes, became even more excited than Lin Zifeng.

Lin Zifeng, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, shrugged his shoulders and then looked towards the others.

Seeing Nangong Bing’s coldly beautiful eyebrows slightly raise, she said indifferently, ”Not bad.”

Uh, is that all she has to say? Lin Zifeng pouted.

”Eh? Where’s the counselor?”

Lin Zifeng was surprised to see that Yan Qingcheng had disappeared; he had just seen her after the game, so how could she have left now?

”She’s already gone,” Huahua said.

”When did she leave?” Lin Zifeng’s smile faded.

”She just left,” Nangong Bing said with a half-smile. ”Do you like her or something?”

”Uh, to say I’m not interested would be a lie; after all, she is a beauty, and what man doesn’t like a beautiful woman?” Lin Zifeng nodded and laughed.

”Pervert!”

The three of them gave him a unanimous disdainful glance, swore at him, and then turned and walked away.

”Me, I’m wiped! Who did I offend now? It was just the truth.” Lin Zifeng was slightly taken aback, wondering if speaking the truth was now a target.

In the afternoon, after sending Nangong Bing home, Lin Zifeng was not idle. He hurriedly made his way to the Archaeology Department, now having more on his plate than anyone.

Through the gossip of the last few days, it was said that the Archaeology Department also had an Archaeology Pavilion, which housed a vast amount of archaeological material left behind when the school was demolished. After all, the Archaeology Department was so unpopular that hardly any students were willing to enter this painfully obscure field.

So much so that Yunhai University’s Archaeology Department was constantly under threat of being eliminated.
