You're so wild, can your body handle it?

After his body and speed had been tested, there were basically no problems left with Su Dong's physical examination.

In terms of individual technique, Sporting Lisbon understood him best, because he had trained his way up according to the plans provided by Pontes and Nare. That sounded just as unscientific, but Sporting Lisbon had known about it for a long time and had accepted it.

Although it was only a simple physical, Su Dong still left everyone at Sporting Lisbon deeply shocked.

Too many unbelievable—or rather, unscientific—things had happened with him.

For example, his fundamentals were extremely solid.

That was very hard to understand. How could someone, in less than half a year, and already at the "advanced age" of seventeen, still develop such incredibly solid fundamentals?

It defied common sense. It was not scientific.

The same went for his speed.

It was not as if there were no people over 1.9 meters tall who were very fast, but they generally appeared on athletics tracks.

On a football pitch, it was very rare to see a player who was over 1.9 meters tall and also extremely fast.

It was as if Vieri and Owen had been combined into one.

Before meeting Su Dong, everyone would definitely have scoffed at such a thing, because it was not scientific at all.

Yet now, Su Dong was standing right in front of them, alive and real.

The happiest person of all was the reserve team's head coach, Jean James.

After the start of the season, he had watched helplessly as one ace player after another under him was called up to the first team, from Quaresma to Marcelino, from Hugo Viana to Cristiano Ronaldo.

All of that had left the reserve team coach feeling very helpless.

But now things were fine. Su Dong had arrived, and confidence rose in him again.

The entire physical examination process lasted the whole morning.

Next came the coaching staff tailoring a training plan for Su Dong, including some strengthening drills for his regular routine.

This was one of Sporting Lisbon's youth academy characteristics.

They would specifically tailor strengthening programs for outstanding youth players, to make up for their weaknesses or reinforce their strengths.

What Sporting Lisbon was best at among these was developing wingers.

None of that fell within Su Dong's worries. After completing the physical, he went to Aurelio's office and signed the contract.

Over this past period, Pontes and Nare had both given Su Dong a lot of help, so after signing the contract, Su Dong took the initiative to invite them to a meal. At the same time, he also extended invitations to Aurelio, Jean James, Cardozo, Osvaldo, and the other coaches. The two directors left after witnessing the signing.

Although Aurelio was the team's Technical Director, he was also a kindly old man in his fifties. Since Su Dong had taken the initiative to invite everyone to eat, and Rony and Jose Semedo were there as well, with Mendes and Manuel accompanying them, of course he did not refuse.

And so, the group drove their own cars from Alcochete back into the city and arrived at the famous Romario Seafood Restaurant.

Ever since eating there last time, Su Dong had never stopped thinking about the seafood, but it was just too expensive.

This time, after signing with Sporting Lisbon, besides receiving a monthly salary of two thousand Euros and the corresponding match bonuses, he had also received a signing fee of ten thousand Euros. He could still afford this bit of money to treat people to a meal.

Everyone feasted at Romario Seafood Restaurant until they finally parted in high spirits after noon.

The food was delicious, and the bill was just as tasty.

In the end, the group ate more than three hundred Euros' worth. It was the most expensive meal Su Dong had ever had in his life.

However, he also gained a special benefit: Pontes also lived in the city and had to commute to Alcochete every day, so he promised that he was willing to drive Su Dong, Rony, and the others back and forth for free.

When Aurelio heard that the three of them were going to rent a place together, he immediately said that the club could pay their entire rent for them.

As Technical Director, he still had that authority, but the premise was that they could not rent a place that was too expensive.

If Su Dong and the other two wanted to rent some luxurious detached villa, that would definitely be impossible.

When renting a place came up, after the meal, since there was still time, Mendes took the three of them to the area near Parque das Nações.

Rent in Lisbon was actually quite expensive. After all, it was the capital of a country.

The city center was the place with the highest rent. The area around Marquis of Pombal Square, where they had rented before, happened to be the most expensive district, but at the same time, it was also the area with the oldest houses, commonly known as the old town.

The area around Parque das Nações was an emerging business district. Not only were the houses new, all kinds of supporting facilities were new as well.

For example, Vasco da Gama Shopping Center was absolutely quite attractive to young people like Su Dong and Rony.

Young people—who did not like livelier places?

Even when they had nothing to do, it was still nice to walk around and browse.

Mendes had previously researched the surrounding area for them. There were quite a few parks around, scattered through the various communities, none of them very large.

At first, he had thought Su Dong and Rony would have to bear the rent themselves, so the houses Mendes chose were all around Moscavide. That area consisted of stretches of residential compounds. The buildings were not tall, only three or four stories, but they were simply too densely packed.

But now that Sporting Lisbon was covering the rent, there was no need to be polite.

So Mendes specifically took them to see places in the core district of Parque das Nações, namely near Vasco da Gama Shopping Center, especially along the Tagus River. From there, they could look out toward Vasco da Gama Bridge in the distance and overlook the riverside park along the Tagus River. The view was magnificent.

After spending the afternoon choosing, they finally selected a large apartment less than one kilometer north of Vasco da Gama Shopping Center.

The apartment was on the fifth floor, came with an elevator and an underground parking lot, and covered a full 230 square meters. The most attractive part was the side facing the Tagus River, which had an enormous twelve-meter-long viewing balcony. From there, the entire surface of the Tagus River, Vasco da Gama Bridge in the distance, and the riverside park downstairs could all be taken in at a glance.

What had originally been a corner unit that could have been made into five bedrooms had been converted by the owner into four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with two luxury suites flanking the balcony and leaving an extremely spacious living room and dining room.

Both luxury suites had their own bathrooms and walk-in closets, and their floor-to-ceiling windows all faced the Tagus River. It could be called quite passable. The only flaw was that the two guest rooms on the north side were far inferior in specification and faced the road below, so they were inevitably a little noisy.

The rent for this apartment was not cheap—four Euros per square meter each month—but all the furniture and appliances were fully equipped. They could move straight in with just their bags.

Even more passable was that the residential complex downstairs was equipped with a standard-size swimming pool. Heading south after going downstairs was a gym, and the riverside park below also had a five-a-side football pitch. If the mood struck, they could even run a mini-marathon or something along the riverbank.

"The transport here is very convenient, and the security is very proper. It's just that the property management fee is a tiny bit expensive," the agent said, quite frankly.

Su Dong, Rony, and Semedo were all very satisfied with the apartment.

The three of them stood on the fourteen-meter-wide balcony, gazing into the distance at the opposite bank of the Tagus River. The view was very passable.

"Other than being a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it," Su Dong praised.

Compared with the two apartments he had rented before, this could practically be called a palace.

Rony kept nodding as well, feeling that this place was truly great.

The Tang Jose Apartment they had lived in before was the kind of very old building with terrible facilities and amenities. How could it compare with this one, where all sorts of facilities were extremely complete—especially the big television in the living room?

"My urge to buy a Sony PlayStation is already getting restless," Rony said with a loud laugh.

"With such a big living room, we could totally invite a few friends over, then bring in a few beauties and throw a party right here. That would be amazing," Jose Semedo said, the first thing that came to mind for him being beautiful women.

Su Dong, meanwhile, was wondering whether he should move all his fitness equipment over.

With such a big living room, it would be a waste not to put in some gym equipment.

Mendes had been standing to the side the whole time, smiling as he watched the satisfied expressions on the three young men's faces. He felt happy too.

As an agent, his task was to serve his players.

And whether that service was good or bad was reflected in the details; whether it was thorough depended on whether the players were satisfied.

Once the three of them had more or less finished discussing it, Mendes stopped saying anything more.

"If there are no problems, then we'll sign for it directly. I'll go to the club later for reimbursement. From now on, the rent and property management fees for this apartment will all be handled by the club."

The three of them nodded at once.

Since it could be reimbursed, what was there to be afraid of?

However, they soon ran into a difficult problem.

Although the apartment was said to have four rooms, in reality it was two luxury suites and two guest rooms.

Needless to say, the luxury suites had their own bathrooms and walk-in closets, but the guest rooms did not enjoy that kind of treatment.

Who would live in the suites? Who would live in the guest rooms?

Jose Semedo quickly realized this problem and immediately took the initiative to say that he actually preferred the rooms closer to the road. So he chose one of the two guest rooms.

Clearly, he knew that the main reason he was able to live here was that he was benefiting from Su Dong and Rony.

The two luxury suites naturally belonged to Su Dong and Rony.

After choosing the apartment, they spent the next two days busy moving.

Although none of them were very old, and on ordinary days it looked as if they did not have much luggage, once they really started moving, they discovered that they actually had quite a lot of things.

They also hired housekeepers to come and clean the apartment. The three of them stayed busy all the way until Christmas Day before officially moving into the apartment.

When all of Lisbon, and even the entire world, was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of Christmas, the three youths from foreign lands were also immersed in the joy and excitement of having just moved into their new home.

After night fell, the three of them moved chairs out and sat on the spacious balcony, looking at the shimmering river surface, their hearts filled with feeling.

This was the best and most luxurious home they had ever lived in.

"I swear, I'm definitely going to buy one—no, four apartments like this, and give them to my parents, my brother, and my sisters, so all of them can have their own mansions!" Rony shouted loudly toward the surface of the river.

Semedo burst out laughing when he heard that. "I'm not as ambitious as you. I only need to buy one, then bring different women back every day to spend the night. That would definitely be the most comfortable thing in the world."

Su Dong and Rony looked at each other and shook their heads with wry smiles at the same time.

"If you live that wildly, can your body take it?" Su Dong laughed and scolded.

The three of them's laughter drifted into the night sky, floating above the Tagus River.

The new book's results are a bit of a flop. Is it because I'm too wild? I'm so panicked... Please vote, please add to your favorites, please tip!
