Suning opened her eyes, and the glaring sunlight shone directly on her face through the small window of the locker room.

Beneath me was a hard bench, and the air was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of sweat and mildew.

Suning subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes from the distant sunlight, only to find that he was wearing dirty goalkeeper gloves.

"Wang Duoyu! What are you daydreaming about? Training is about to begin!" A rough voice mixed with lewdness rang out in my ear.

Su Ning sat up abruptly and saw a middle-aged man with a fierce face staring at her.

He was wearing a wrinkled tracksuit with the words "Da Xiang Team Coach" printed on the front.

and many more……

Wang Duoyu? Da Xiang Team?
Suning's brain instantly crashed.

Isn't this a character and a football team from the movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire"?
Suning was just kicked out of the game world by the system, and he was still staying up late last night watching the World Cup replay. How did he wake up and become Wang Duoyu in the movie?

[System activation in progress...]

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Su Ning's mind.

[Host: Su Ning, Current Instance: "Hello Mr. Billionaire", Identity: Wang Duoyu.]

[Given the host's behavior of being blocked and kicked out of "A Generation of Heroes", the system has imposed restrictions on the host, prohibiting the use of the spatial world in this instance world, including even basic storage capabilities.]

Suning stood there dumbfounded, a flood of information rushing into his mind.

Suning has truly time-traveled again, and this time he's become a miserable football goalkeeper.

Even more outrageous is that this time, Suning actually transmigrated into Wang Duoyu's body.

However, the time travel was a bit too early; the story hadn't even started yet, and the billionaire's second master was probably still having a homosexual relationship with someone else.

At that time, Suning was just a substitute goalkeeper struggling in a third-rate team, far from inheriting the 30 billion yuan legacy.

"Wang Duoyu! Are you deaf?" Coach Ma Daxing's roar brought Suning back to reality. "If you dawdle any longer, get out there and wash the whole team's jerseys!"

"They're here! They're here!" Su Ning instinctively grabbed her gloves and ran outside.

On the training field, a dozen or so players wearing faded jerseys were warming up.

Suning quietly observed these potential teammates, trying to recall their corresponding roles.

However, the movie didn't depict Wang Duoyu's early football career very little, so Suning couldn't quite put it together.

However, Zhuang Qiang's face was extremely familiar; at this moment, Zhuang Qiang was constantly flirting with Su Ning.

An overweight center-back is definitely a lucky charm for the team; he might collapse from exhaustion after only a few steps.

Another one is Coach Ma Daxing; his "three mouths and one pig" is just too classic.

"We'll practice penalty kicks today." The coach blew his whistle. "Wang Duoyu, you're in goal."

Suning walked nervously toward the goal.

In the real world, Suning is just an amateur football enthusiast who occasionally plays casual football, and his goalkeeping skills are not even third-rate.

But now, dressed in professional player attire and equipment, Suning stands in front of a proper goal, about to face a penalty kick from a professional player…

Despite being a player in a third-rate league.

[System notification: 'Gift Pack Giveaway' has been distributed, granting the 'Ball Trajectory Prediction Line' ability for 30 minutes.]

A magical scene suddenly appeared before Suning's eyes...

Whenever a player prepares to shoot, a semi-transparent red trajectory line extends from the ball to the goal, showing the ball's flight path.

This is just like the support lines in a football game!
The first player to step up to the penalty spot was a young player with dyed yellow hair.

He took a confident run-up, shot, and executed the shot in one fluid motion...

However, Suning could clearly see the red line pointing to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Suning moved ahead of time, made a diving save, and caught the ball securely.

There was silence.

"Holy crap!" The blond-haired guy's eyes widened. "Wang Duoyu, have you taken the wrong medicine? Let me tell you, Brother Wei doesn't just take random things!"

Coach Ma Daxing's whistle fell to the ground in shock.

"Again!" Ma Daxing, now fully awake, picked up the whistle, his voice trembling slightly.

The second, third, fourth...

Suning saved all ten penalty kicks in a row.

It's not about luck, but about accurately predicting the trajectory of each ball.

His teammates' expressions went from surprise to shock, and finally to looking at him like he was a monster.

"System notification: 5 minutes remaining for this ability."

Suning was panting heavily, his training clothes soaked with sweat.

Although the system gave Suning the ability to anticipate, his physical reactions and saves depended entirely on himself.

A man in his thirties with a sub-optimal health condition suddenly engaged in high-intensity training, and his muscles ached as if they had been run over by a truck.

"That's all for today." The coach walked over and gave Su Ning a meaningful look. "Wang Duoyu, you'll start in tomorrow's friendly match."

“…” Su Ning didn’t waste any more words with Ma Daxing.

"Wang Duoyu, you're going to shine today!"

"Damn! Even a salted fish has a temper."

"Duoyu, that's not right! We agreed to enjoy a peaceful and ordinary life together, so why did you suddenly become so assertive?"

"Don't rush! Perhaps my success today is just a flash in the pan."

"That's right! You're definitely just a flash in the pan."

Back in her cramped rented room, Su Ning collapsed onto the creaking bed.

Several faded football posters were pasted on the wall, and a half-eaten instant noodle sat on the bedside table.

Is this what Wang Duoyu's life was like before he became famous? It was even more shabby than what's shown in the movies.

"System, can you explain what's going on?" Su Ning asked in his mind.

[This mission is called 'Absolute Goalkeeper,' and its purpose is to help the host become a world-class goalkeeper. Experience points can be gained through matches and training, unlocking new abilities. Current Level: LV.1]

Then Suning brought up the virtual interface and saw his own attributes:
Reaction rate: 75
Positive firefighting ability: 70
Positional awareness: 65
Hand control: 60
One-on-one: 55
Below that is a long list of grayed-out, unlocked skills: 'Spider Rescue', 'Gate Line Lightning', 'Mind Reading', and so on.

How do I gain experience points?

[Based on match performance, training results, and task completion. Tomorrow's friendly match will be the first official competition; outstanding performance will earn generous rewards.]

Suning tossed and turned, feeling both excited and apprehensive.

I'm excited because I've actually gained a system that grants me superpowers, but I'm also nervous because I don't know how tomorrow's competition will go.

The main reason is that athletes have never experienced anything like this before, and breaking away from the monotonous dungeon-crossing is quite interesting.

In the movie, Wang Duoyu eventually became a millionaire, but his life has taken a completely different turn since then...

Suning has become a professional player, and a player with a systematic cheat code.

However, just thinking about that pitiful female lead made Su Ning feel a chill run down her spine, and she could never bring herself to lay a finger on Xia Zhu.

……

The next day, at a small stadium in the suburbs of Xihong City. A few dozen spectators sat sparsely in the stands, mostly players' families and nearby residents.

The Da Xiang team's opponent is the "Blue Sky Team" from the neighboring city, which is also a weak team in the amateur league.

"Wang Duoyu, don't be nervous." Coach Ma Daxing patted Su Ning on the shoulder, unusually coming over to comfort the player. "Just treat it like a regular training session."

Suning nodded and adjusted the position of his gloves.

Since discovering the system's capabilities yesterday, Suning has become a legend in training.

However, training and official matches are completely different. Without the help of prediction lines, Suning's true level is probably not even third-rate.

[System notification: Official match environment detected. The 'Ball Trajectory Prediction Line' ability is automatically activated and will remain effective for this match.]

Suning breathed a sigh of relief.

Faint red grid lines appeared on the field in front of me, as if an AR augmented reality layer had been applied to the field.

Game start.

Blue Sky team is slightly stronger and quickly took control of the midfield.

In the 15th minute, they were awarded a free kick in the attacking third.

As the opposing player number 10 stood in front of the ball, three different colored prediction lines immediately appeared before Suning's eyes...

Red represents a powerful shot, yellow represents a curved shot, and green represents a pass.

Based on the opponent's positioning and running angle, the red line has the highest probability.

As expected, the opposing team chose to shoot directly at the goal.

The ball flew like a cannonball toward the top left corner of the goal, but in Suning's view, it moved slowly along the bright red line.

Suning took two steps ahead, leaped high, and tipped the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"Wow!" A gasp of surprise erupted from the stands.

"That reaction speed...it's professional level!"

Suning overheard reporters whispering on the sidelines.

The following matches became a personal showcase for Suning.

Blue Sky team attacked more and more fiercely, but every shot was within Suning's prediction.

In the 30th minute, the opposing striker went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but Suning made a decisive run out and blocked the shot the moment the striker took a step, securing the ball firmly in their arms.

The first half ended with a score of 0-0.

Suning became the busiest person on the field, making seven saves, four of which were judged as "wonderful saves" by the system.

"Wang Duoyu..." Coach Ma Daxing hesitated during halftime, his real question and doubt shifting to something else, "Have you been secretly doing extra training lately...?"

Ma Daxing actually suspected that Suning had taken performance-enhancing drugs, but considering Suning's level of skill, even if he had taken drugs, it wouldn't have mattered.

"I did some special training," Su Ning said vaguely, taking a big gulp of his energy drink.

In the second half, the Blue Sky team intensified their offensive.

In the 60th minute, they were awarded a corner kick.

The ball was delivered to the far post, where the opposing center-back leaped high and headed the ball towards the goal.

This close-range shot was almost certain to go in, but Suning instinctively made an inexplicable move...

Jump up with your back to the goal, lift your right foot back, and use the sole of your shoe to block the ball!
"A scorpion kick! A Higuita-esque save!" One of the few reporters on the sidelines jumped up excitedly. "That's definitely the best save of the week!"

The match ended with Da Xiang team surprisingly drawing 0-0 with the stronger Lan Tian team.

Suning's statistics show an astonishing 18 saves, five of which were rated as "world-class saves" by the system.

[System Notification: Performance rated S-rank, 500 experience points gained, leveled up to LV.2. New ability unlocked: 'Instant Reaction' (Passive skill, increases reaction speed by 20%).]

Teammates surrounded Suning like they were seeing a hero, and coach Ma Daxing excitedly announced that the whole team would have dinner together that night.

Amid the cheers, Suning noticed a middle-aged man in a suit and tie intently flipping through a notebook in the stands, occasionally glancing up at Suning.

"Who is that?" Suning asked his teammate.

"Wang Sanchun, a scout from the top league," the blond teammate whispered. "He's definitely here to see the Blue Sky team's key players, but I didn't expect..."

Su Ning's heart couldn't help but race.

First Division!

That's a professional league, two levels higher than the amateur league they're playing in now!
Back in the locker room, Suning's phone suddenly rang.

An unknown number.

"Is this Mr. Wang Duoyu?" A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm a reporter from Xihong City Sports Channel. I'd like to arrange a short interview with you..."

After hanging up the phone, Suning discovered that someone had already uploaded a video of his "scorpion tail" save on social media, and the number of reposts was growing rapidly.

The comment section exploded:

"Is this photoshopped? Can you make a save like this in an amateur league?"

"I checked the records, and this goalkeeper's performance has been mediocre so far!"

"I suggest the national team coach watch this video!"

Sitting in front of the locker, Su Ning suddenly realized that her life trajectory had been completely changed.

In the original storyline, Wang Duoyu would become a millionaire by inheriting a fortune, but now, Su Ning might be able to forge a completely different path through his own abilities, or perhaps with the help of the system.

"System, what is my current goal?"

[Short-term goal: Enter the professional league. Long-term goal: Become a world-class goalkeeper. Special note: This world is a copy of "Hello Mr. Billionaire," the original storyline has been altered, and the host can choose a completely new life path.]

Suning clenched his fist.

Football has always been Wang Duoyu's dream. Since he has stolen Wang Duoyu's life and now has the system's support, why not give it a shot?
As for that 30 billion yuan inheritance...

To hell with that! Suning will create its own legend with its own hands!
In fact, Suning still believes that what is theirs will always be theirs; what is not theirs will never be theirs.

Therefore, no matter how Suning changes the plot, it is highly unlikely to affect the "super cool" life.

At the celebration banquet that evening, scout Wang Sanchun indeed took the initiative to approach Suning.

"Wang Duoyu, are you interested in trying your luck in the top division?" He handed me a business card. "Xihong City FC is looking for a backup goalkeeper."

Suning took the business card, his heart pounding.

This is just the beginning. Suning knows that a brilliant football journey awaits them ahead.

However, Su Ning calmly looked at Wang Sanchun and said, "Mr. Sanchun, I'm already thirty-two this year. To be honest, I'll be replaced soon."

"Trust me! As long as you can maintain your current level, I guarantee you'll have a comfortable life after you retire." Wang Sanchun smiled and said, immediately understanding Su Ning's concerns.

“We’re all adults! Let’s get practical. Can we put the promises in the contract?” Su Ning asked again, looking completely unconvinced.

"Of course! I, Wang Sanchun, have a very good reputation in the industry."

"Well... it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Haha, happy to cooperate."
