Chapter 543: World Cup Qualifier V
?
All of a sudden, the system prompt rang in his ear.
Hearing the prompt, he solemnly swept his gaze to the system panel with a bit of curiosity.
[The host has unlocked a new quest]
[Subjugate The Tyrant]
The title of the quest sounded more and more like the title of a quest he''d see in a game. Nheless, it fueled his curiosity.
Hiro was already amazed by the ability of Wei Zen tomand his teammates. But now that he witnessed that even the system was referring to him as a tyrant, he couldn''t help but feel even more curious about him.
Such a grand title for someonepletely unknown, the system must value him greatly.
"That''s what he thought when he saw the title.
Then he started reading the description with a hint of amusement on his face.
[Beat Wei Zen in a dual three times]
[Sessfully tackle him three times]
[Score a goal after dribbling past him]
There were actually three requirements toplete the quest. Hiro wasn''t worried about the first and the third requirements. But he couldn''t help but feel anxious about the second.
After all, defending wasn''t his forte.
And by the looks of it, Wei Zen appeared to be a defensive midfielder specializing in defense. So, he found the second requirement a bit exaggerated.
Frowning, he muttered, "If it was only once, it might have been doable. But three times... Isn''t it a bit too much?"
Hiro felt quite skeptical about the second requirement.
Even so, he couldn''t avoid it even if he didn''t like it. So, he steeled himself and proceeded to the reward.
[Reward: You can copy a talent of the highest caliber from Wei Zen]
[Failure: Temporary closure of the system shop for six months]
The reward was definitively tempting. After all, from what Hiro could see Wei Zen appeared to be an extraordinary yer. So, he must possess some high grade talent.
Although the punishment didn''t seem as excessive,tely he had been thinking of making use of the points he had umted to buy something from the shop.
So, if he failed the quest, he might not be able to buy his desired item for a while.
This saddened him a little. But it didn''t appear that huge of a deal. Also, even if he wished to ignore the quest, he couldn''t since it was mandatory.
Letting out a soft sigh, Hiro muttered, "Sigh- We''ll see how it goes."
Even though the clock was ticking, Hiro couldn''t afford to be hasty. He could tell that Wei Zen wasn''t a simple character but he couldn''t tell about how impressive he was.
So, he tried to make use of his skill "Magic Vision" on him.
[Name: Wei Zen]
[Age: 27]
[Overall: ??]
[Potential: ??]
[Possessed Talent: ??]
Hiro rubbed his eyes in disbelief. For an instant, he even thought that the system was malfunctioning when he failed to see through him.
But no matter how hard he tried to look through him, it showed the same result. For some reason, it appeared that he couldn''t see through him.
That had only happened a handful of times before. Mostly due to the target being too high level for him to use his skill.
"Wtf?" Frustrated, he couldn''t help but cuss under his breath.
If he said it loudly, he''d get reprimanded by the referee. And although it frustrated him, he was still conscious of what to say.
''Just when you need it, it bes unreliable''
After the failure to see through him, Hiro felt an extreme urge toment the system.
However, even if he made a fuss about it, there wasn''t anything he could do. So, it didn''t take him long to dismiss the matter.
He couldn''t afford to be bothered by it when he had a quest toplete.
"I guess... There''s only one way to find out," he whispered dismissively.
Then he turned to look at Wei Zen.
Surprisingly, he was right before him and he was staring at him with a nasty smile on his face. Seeing him so close startled him and that nasty grin on his face sent chills.
''When did he get here?''
''Was I spacing out for too long?''
''I didn''t even feel his presence.''
Several thoughts popped into his head as he subconsciously took a step back.
But he immediately calmed himself.
"Did you see a ghost?" Wei Zen saiding closer to him.
It was another surprise that he could speak fluent Japanese.
Hiro, however, didn''t respond.
Hiro''s unresponsive attitude fueled Wei Zen''s amusement and he couldn''t help but reveal a bemusing chuckle.
"Kekeke"
''What a weird guy'' Hiro thought as he noticed him smiling weirdly alone.
However, it didn''t Hiro long to notice that the effect of his talent "Shadow Tactician" had almost no effect on him. The person was even smiling all the time while marking him.
The game had already begun.
And Wei Zen had stuck to him like a parasite. It was as if Hiro was the host and he was the parasite mooching off him.
Previously, Hiro had wanted to test him. He wanted to test the water before setting foot in it. But after experiencing the attitude of that guy, he couldn''t even bring himself to act.
Something about him was making him ufortable.
Even so, it didn''t take him long to fulfill a part of his objective. He sessfully managed to tackle him twice. Also, he also managed to beat him in a duel once.
However, for some while, after he had stepped on the field, it became difficult to score
against the opposing team.
''Just how did this guy organize the team so urately?''
The previously pathetic-looking opposition had somehow regained their vitality. No, it
might be better to say that they had been resurrected to life.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They still appeared as lifeless as they were before.
However, their movement and positioning were more organized than before.
"Is your father well?" Wei Zen whispered while marking him.
''So, you''re resorting to trash talking huh?''
Hiro thought as he heard him.
He could tell that he was about to talk shit about his personal life to get on his head. However,
he probably didn''t know that he was a tough nut to crack.
So, he ignored him as if he were a breeze passing him.
