My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 214 Miracle Challenge
June 2013, Le Havre, France.

It was noon, and the sun was shining on this seaside city known as the "Outer Port of Paris".

Cars speed on the roads of Le Havre.

The sea breeze blowing from the Normandy coastline slapped Dick Law in the passenger seat, and his silver hair was tousled.

The old gentleman meticulously closed the car window, combed his hair, and turned around and said, "I don't understand. I should be on vacation now, but I'm on a business trip again."

"Vacation? Oh, Dick, take a look at the beach in Le Havre. After finishing the things at hand, you can enjoy the sea breeze and sunset." Chen Yao turned his head and quickly pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, haha smiled.

"Forget it." Dick Law shook his head helplessly, "I remember we have a complete scouting department. Why do we always need to find players in person?"

"Dick, times have changed. There are scouts from wealthy clubs in every corner of the world, and the data analysis system is pervasive. As long as there are one or two emerging talents, they will be booked early. We must find another way."

Dick Law nodded helplessly, "You are right. It is difficult for us to grab the much-anticipated rising stars like before."

He sighed, "But you can't deny the vision of professional scouts. Some players may seem ordinary, but only experienced scouts can read his characteristics."

"Yes, Dick...but we can't guarantee that those hidden pearls are in our scouting network." Chen Yao smiled, "What we have to do now is what you said about professional scouting."

"Here? Le Havre? Is this a Ligue [-] team?"

"No, it's Ligue [-]."

"...Our scouts really won't analyze every player of a French second team."

"So we have to hurry up - there may be others who are interested in our target."

……

Chen Yao hardly gave himself a holiday.

He still remembers the day at Kearney when, as he pondered whether "the system" existed, he stepped out from the corner of the training ground.

Yes, himself.

"Oh, did I scare you?" The man who looked exactly like him grinned, "I thought this would make you feel friendly."

"Shut up." Chen Yao shook his head, closed his eyes and opened them again. The person in front of him was still the same, "Am I crazy?"

"I thought you wouldn't be surprised." The man said, "After all, the fact that you came to this world and achieved the results you have now is ridiculous. But haven't you adapted well?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am the anthropomorphic form of the Dawn system. If you don't want to see me like this, I can change into other forms."

As he spoke, his image became blurred and distorted, and finally took on another appearance.

"Do you like it?" Young Scarlett Johansson stood in front of Chen Yao.

"..."

"What about this?" There was another blur and distortion, and young Anne Hathaway appeared.

"..."

"Perhaps this style is more acceptable?" She turned into a young Isabelle Adjani.

"And this, this and this..."

Jennifer Connelly, Monica Bellucci, and Audrey Hepburn appeared in front of Chen Yao one after another.

"Stop." Chen Yao closed his eyes, "I can't stand it anymore. Don't let me have the uncanny valley effect on you, okay?"

"Okay. In short, I am the system, and the system is me. Among the 42 time travelers we have managed in history, you are a relatively outstanding one."

"I have a question to ask."

"I know you have a lot of questions, about all of this. But that's for another day."

Chen Yao temporarily accepted everything in front of him, "So what do you want to tell me?" "I want to give you a challenge. Can you win the Champions League championship in one season?"

"Impossible." Chen Yao categorically denied, "Listen, man, football is a sport that cannot be guaranteed. Unless you can help me stop all our opponents from playing match-fixing, this will be an almost impossible task."

"Really? That's a pity. You have to find a way to complete this task."

"You are joking."

"I'm not kidding. If you can complete this task, you will receive rewards you can't imagine."

"I'm not short of money. The new contract signed between Arsenal and me is enough for me to live a good life."

"No, you don't understand. That's a temptation you can't imagine."

Chen Yao touched his forehead and found no fever. "What if it fails? Can I refuse?"

"You have no right to refuse. Oh, by the way, the season rewards will be settled for you immediately. Don't worry, you won't be left unarmed to challenge the miracle."

"This is too..." Chen Yao raised his head fiercely, but there was no one in front of him again.

The shade of the trees at Kearney Base swayed in the wind, just like in the past.

After a short period of silence, a series of sounds rang in Chen Yao's ears.

"Ding! System prompt: You have unlocked [Miracle Challenge]"

"Ding! System prompt: You have unlocked the [Achievement System]"

"Ding! System prompts: Your level has been improved! Your abilities have been strengthened."

"Ding! System prompt: You have unlocked..."

……

"Isn't this a joke..." Chen Yao muttered.

"What did you say?" Dick Lowe asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking." Chen Yao parked the car on the side of the road with a wry smile and opened the door, "Now let's go meet the target of our trip."

"it is good."

The two walked across a lawn and walked to an open-air stadium shaded by trees.

A player trains alone on the court.

"His name is Riyad Mahrez, Le Havre's right winger. He played 34 times last season and scored 4 goals and 6 assists." Chen Yao introduced.

"Oh, it's really..." Dick Lao said with a sad face, "We gave up our vacation time and came here just for such a player? He even got such data in French Second Division."

Mahrez was unaware that there were two strangers observing his practice on the sidelines. He was training alone, suddenly started cutting in from the right, and then took a shot.

"Boom!"

The ball hit the goalpost and bounced out.

"What you see is Mahrez's best technique." Chen Yao curled his lips, "His technical style is too single and has been criticized a lot."

"I said, Chen, aren't you really trying to make me angry on purpose?" Dick Law shook his head and sighed, "If you are really interested in him, you can ask Steve Rowley or Kagigao to come and inspect the site. If he is a decent person, I will talk to him for you."

"But what's going on?" Dick Law pointed at Mahrez and lowered his voice. "A mediocre French second winger, you brought me here and wanted to sign him on the spot. Are you kidding me?"

"Although it's been proven that your eyesight has never been wrong once - but I'm still a little angry." The old gentleman said angrily.

"Oh no, Dick, don't be mad. I seriously want to sign him now."
