2018.
January.
In Dragon Country, at the men's football training base, the naturalization trial match is in full swing.
The World Cup qualifiers failed again, and the Football Association increased its naturalization efforts by recruiting players from all over the world and organizing this trial match.
On the sidelines, the Football Association's boss, the programmer, was present in person, accompanied by the men's football team leader, Jason Smith. The two chatted while smoking.
"The candidates this time are carefully selected, and their family conditions are good!" Jason Smith smiled in an extremely flattering manner. "The three places will go to the highest bidder, and we will definitely make a lot of money!"
Increasing naturalization efforts and improving the strength of the men's football team? Stop it! Those are all propaganda slogans. The real purpose is to make money! The quotas are clearly marked, absolutely fair to everyone!
The programmer nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes fell on the extremely active teenager on the field. The teenager's mixed-race appearance was very obvious: black hair, yellow skin, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes made him extremely handsome, especially the blue pupils, which were particularly striking.
He sat firmly in the defensive midfielder position on the field, erecting an iron wall in the midfield. The opponent's attacks were easily intercepted and destroyed by him, as if he were facing a group of elementary school students. He seemed relaxed and free, which surprised the programmer.
He really didn't expect that there would be such a powerful player from Dragon Country. He even doubted whether this was really a player from there.
"Who is that..." He pointed to the teenager on the field and asked the team leader, Jason Smith.
"His name is Michael Carter! Eighteen years old! A mixed race of Dragon Country and French descent, his father is a second-generation immigrant, and his mother is French! He entered the La Masia youth training camp since he was a child and plays as a defensive midfielder!"
Jason Smith took a look and immediately recognized Michael Carter. He had a deep impression of him. When he saw the information, he was surprised that Michael was from La Masia, the top youth training camp in Europe and the soul of the giant Barcelona. Players who can enter La Masia are all talented.
What impressed him most was the information that Michael Carter was selected to join the first team before the winter transfer window and then terminated by Barcelona.
"La Masia's youth training, no wonder!" The programmer looked surprised. "He's very strong! Give him one of the three places!"
The player has strength and a good resume! Naturalization can also improve the strength of the men's football team and make money. Maybe he can also earn a reputation in the future. Kill four birds with one stone!
"Boss, this Michael Carter has a criminal record..." Jason Smith couldn't help but start to be vague when he heard the boss's order. "He was selected to join the first team before the winter break but was terminated by Barcelona not long after! I found out that he had a conflict with someone in a training match, beat him up, and refused to apologize! He caused dissatisfaction with Barcelona management and was forced to terminate his contract by the club. Now he has no team in Europe!"
After listening to Jason Smith's words, the programmer waved his hand indifferently. "What's this matter? The Football Association does not need to look at the face of the European club! As long as he is sincere enough, everything will be fine! It's not impossible for Longchao Club to provide him with a platform..."
The meaning was clear: as long as the money is in place, nothing is a problem!
"Understood!" Jason Smith nodded repeatedly and said, "Leave it to me, you can rest assured!"

[Negative emotion value from John Doe +26]
[Negative emotion value from Mark Lee +18]
As Michael Carter made steals and defensive plays, the system's prompt sound kept ringing in his mind. He was reborn three months ago and awakened the system, allowing him to collect negative emotion values from training matches, official matches, and opponents through steals, defense, goals, breakthroughs, etc. The stronger the player's strength and fame, the higher the emotion value. These negative emotion values could be used to draw rewards in the system, randomly obtaining treasure chests of different levels.
With the god-level prediction of the novice gift package, he successively opened top basic skills from the gold treasure chest and top ball sense from the platinum treasure chest. He quickly emerged in the youth training team and was then transferred to the Barcelona first team in the first half of the season.
In a training match, he restricted the first team's Gallic genius, Dembele. Though there were not many steals, he left the opponent helpless, even destroying most passes and causing mistakes, earning a lot of negative emotion values. But the opponent broke the defense. In a scramble, after Michael got the ball first, the guy's mentality exploded and he made a leg-breaking move. Fortunately, the god-level prediction allowed Michael to escape.
Before he could ask for punishment, the other player cursed first, with discrimination against the East in his words. This immediately angered Michael. The two sides broke out in a conflict, and although the guy wanted to take the initiative, his punch was predicted by Michael, and he was hit by Michael's counterattack instead.
The other player cost the club more than 100 million euros, and Michael's previous performance was considered mediocre, with a perceived low talent ceiling. In the end, the club chose to protect the other player and ordered Michael to apologize. How could Michael apologize? He directly and forcefully refused. After that, he was forced to terminate his contract by the club.
While his agent was helping him find a club, he returned to Dragon Country to participate in naturalization.
Listening to the system prompt in his mind, the pitifully small negative emotions made Michael a little speechless. Any player from the La Masia youth training team starts at 100. Now, look at the present: 20, 10... He worked hard here for a long time, but he still didn't collect as much as he did from Dembele. You can imagine how bad these guys are. Life is not easy; a handsome guy sighs!
But then again, a fly leg is also meat; it's better to have it than not. Forcing himself to be optimistic, Michael tried to cheer up and continue to play.
[From William Long's negative emotion value +12]

The trial match is over. Before Michael could check his negative emotion value balance, he was called to the office by the team leader, Jason Smith.
"Your performance is very good! I also know about your situation!" Jason Smith started talking as soon as he came up. "Knowing your situation in Barcelona, this still has some impact! After all, the naturalization of the national football team needs a good image!"
Suppress first before praising! This trick has always worked well before!
"But..." He changed the subject, and Jason Smith's face had a lot more smiles. "It's not impossible to solve it, and we can arrange for you to play for Longchao's big club! But it all depends on your sincerity!"
Michael sneered. He still underestimated the corruption of the Football Association! Naturalization has begun to cost money! That's right! After all, the current head of the Football Association is a guy who took money as soon as he took office. It's rotten to the core!
Seeing that Michael didn't say anything, Jason Smith thought he didn't understand, so he got straight to the point. "Then I'll say it directly! One million euros!"
