SS-Rank Mission? Su Bai's Hunting Time Begins!

8:50 p.m.!

Candy Box Stadium!

The once-frenzied Candy Box Stadium was now strangely quiet.

The Boca flags that had been flying high were drooping at this moment too.

The fans propped up their chins, one after another, watching the staff on the pitch repairing the turf in disappointment.

On the big screen by the field!

That glaring 0:2 left the fans' once-fervent hearts feeling as if they had been soaked through with cold water.

In just one half.

Boca Juniors, the team they were so proud of, had actually fallen two goals behind their opponent in humiliating fashion.

The most hateful one was that arrogant Magiar.

After Boca conceded the second goal, the arrogant Magiar actually walked straight over to Boca's bench and flashed a victory sign at Xie Luotuo.

That almost made Xie Luotuo lose it.

But that gesture made every fan in Candy Box explode.

They began frantically sending their regards to every ancient female relative in Magiar's family tree.

But Magiar did not look the slightest bit upset. Instead, he waved both hands, signaling for the Boca fans to curse even louder.

And compared to Magiar on the sideline.

The Tucuman Athletic players on the pitch were even crazier.

Under Tucuman Athletic's frantic full-pitch press, Boca Juniors, who had always played a technical style, seemed as if they had been grabbed by the throat.

Their smooth, flowing combinations had vanished completely.

The team's starting attacking midfielder, Pablo Pérez, was having an absolutely miserable time.

The guy had been chopped down at least three times, and the number of little fouls committed against him was countless.

If not for his shin guards saving his life, poor Pablo Pérez would probably have been lying in an ambulance already.

South America's refereeing standards were truly loose.

Even with such an explosive scene, the referee had only shown two yellow cards.

And one of them had even gone to Pablo Pérez, who could no longer endure his opponent's wild fouling and shoved him.

Inside the home dressing room at this moment!

Xie Luotuo roared furiously at his players!

"Attack!"

"Stop showing off your damn footwork and technique!"

"Move the ball quickly!"

"Can't you see who your opponents are?"

Xie Luotuo was furious!

But there was nothing he could do.

What Boca Juniors were facing was Tucuman Athletic, their natural counter.

"Boss, that Bilalva is too dirty. Every time—"

Pablo Pérez, who had suffered badly, complained about the opposing defensive midfielder.

"Then stop keeping the ball at your feet! Move it out to the wings quickly! Damn it!"

Xie Luotuo knew what the biggest reason for his team falling behind was.

It was that Bilalva!

A twenty-nine-year-old all-around defensive midfielder, and also Tucuman Athletic's captain on the field!

His physicality and defensive awareness were absolutely top class, and he also had an extremely precise long ball!

The most annoying thing was that this guy played dirty!

But he was too cunning. Every time, he pulled his little tricks in the blind spots of the head coach's view.

Almost every Boca Juniors attack had been broken up by this guy.

Halftime soon ended.

Neither team made any substitutions!

After the match restarted.

Tucuman Athletic's entire team suddenly withdrew into their own half.

"Boss, looks like they're going to play defensive counterattack over there!"

Almeida watched Tucuman Athletic's movements and gave the reminder.

"I know!"

Xie Luotuo frowned tightly as he watched his players begin to push up on the pitch.

On the other side!

Tucuman Athletic's head coach, Magiar, wore an easy smile.

The 2–0 scoreline meant he could leave the Candy Box Stadium in complete comfort.

The title?

That was not something a team with Tucuman Athletic's level of investment could get its hands on.

All they had to do was beat damn Boca.

And at that moment, on the pitch!

Bilalva once again produced a miraculous piece of defending!

After Boca's attacking midfielder played a diagonal pass to the team's winger on the right flank, Guillermo Sara—

Bilalva read the timing, stepped in early to take up position, and with one clean, decisive counter-tackle, ended Boca's attack.

At the same time, Bilalva, with his excellent vision, launched the ball with one big clearance toward the other side of the pitch.

And in that area—

Tucuman Athletic's speedy wide man, Maroni, was already charging forward at high speed!

The shouting that had only just returned to the Candy Box Stadium froze again in that instant.

After cushioning the ball deftly with his chest, Maroni nudged it forward in one smooth motion and charged straight down the flank!

"A terrible performance!"

"Guillermo Sara was actually dispossessed so easily by the opponent!"

"Boca Juniors are in danger!"

"Maroni is extremely fast!"

"He's knocked it past Barrios!!!"

"Magallan steps up to challenge!"

"He's been beaten!!!"

"One-on-one!!!"

"Maroni shoots!"

"It's in!!!"

"A disgraceful match!"

"0–3!!!!"

"Boca Juniors' most disgraceful match of the season!"

"The 47th minute of the match!"

"Tucuman Athletic lead Boca Juniors 3–0!"

"This is absolutely a humiliation for Boca!"

At the live commentary desk on the sideline, Dennis, the commentator from Boca's official TV station, pounded the table in fury!

And throughout the entire Candy Box Stadium, aside from the wild cheers of the several thousand away fans, there was no sound!

Countless Boca fans stared in despair at the 0–3 scoreline on the big screen!

They did not understand why their powerful Boca Juniors always ended up like this whenever they faced Tucuman Athletic!

Was there no one who could save Boca?

On the sideline!

Magiar, overexcited, dropped straight into a knee slide across the grass!

His excited, arrogant display made countless Boca fans start greeting him once again!

On the other side, Xie Luotuo's face had gone ashen!

It was over!

Three goals down!

And the opposition were playing with a packed defense!

How could they possibly—

All of a sudden, as if he had thought of something, he turned and looked behind him!

The Chinese kid had finished warming up and was sitting calmly on the bench.

"Su!!!"

Xie Luotuo shouted Su Bai's name.

"Substitution!!!"

"Get that trash Guillermo off the pitch!!!"

Forty-nine minutes into the match!

Boca Juniors made the first substitution!

"Number 8 Guillermo Sara is replaced by number 45 Su Bai!"

When the sideline official held up the substitution board, the fans in the stands were puzzled.

Number 45?

Since when did the team have a number 45?

There had never been a player with that number on the first team!

"It's that Chinese kid from the youth squad!!!"

"I know him! Just last week, he scored three goals and provided an assist all by himself to help the U18s pull off a slaughter!"

There were many fans in the stands who had watched the previous youth team match.

"The youth squad? Has Xie Luotuo lost his mind? Why not put in Hara! Why send on a teenager?"

"Damn it, Xie Luotuo! How could he put a 16-year-old kid in such an important match?"

"It's over, Boca is finished! Xie Luotuo should be fired!"

"Boca has made the first substitution, number 45! Su Bai!"

"He's only 16 years old!"

"He has only played one youth team match, scoring three goals and one assist!"

"The incompetent Guillermo has been replaced by a 16-year-old kid!"

"Is Xie Luotuo pinning his hopes on a child?"

At the commentary desk on the sidelines, Dennis spoke into the live broadcast camera with a tone of disbelief!

Meanwhile!

Su Bai stood silently on the sideline, waiting for the reluctant Guillermo to walk off the pitch.

After a symbolic high-five.

Su Bai stepped onto the grass!

The same stadium!

It had taken Su Bai less than ten days to go from the youth squad to the first team!

"Ding!"

"Random mission triggered!"

"Turn the Tide — SS-rank!"

"Mission Reward: Corresponding treasure chest issued based on the degree of completion!"

There were no cheers!

In fact, all the fans cast looks of doubt his way.

The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled up slightly!

A strange, almost eerie smile suddenly appeared on his usually expressionless face!

It was as if.

As if the hunt had begun.
