Chapter 1826 - 488: Guardiola’s Progress
As for becoming a top star, he had never even thought about it.
After all, there were already two not-so-successful examples before him.
"That’s good, see, Kevin also won’t listen to you, so why do you want a grown-up Chris to follow your words?" Huang Kaiwen advised.
"Yes, Uncle Kevin is right!"
Young Master nodded and said.
"Aren’t you on break?!"
Paolo Maldini said with an annoyed tone.
Young Master stuck out his tongue.
Huang Kaiwen patted Young Master on the shoulder and said, "Don’t feel any pressure today, I know you can do it."
"Don’t worry, Uncle Kevin!"
Young Master nodded decisively and said, "I will definitely become the champion, and in the future, I want to be a world champion, too!"
Huang Kaiwen gave a thumbs-up.
Having fighting spirit is definitely not a bad thing.
At two-thirty in the afternoon, the competition began.
There were only about twenty players, and it was a SOLO match, so the competition progressed quickly.
Huang Kaiwen took a brief look and felt relieved.
Although these players were good, their handling of details was far from Young Master’s level.
Huang Kaiwen had even taught Young Master techniques on how to exploit gaps in tower attacks to hit opponents, and how to manipulate the minion line. These skills would be even more effective in SOLO matches.
Even in matchups of the same level, these techniques would give him a greater advantage.
What’s more, Young Master was incredibly talented, while the opponents were just amateurs.
Even Maldini, who doesn’t play games much, knew that the Young Master with the KMK initials had a huge advantage.
"Why doesn’t the opponent fight back?"
Maldini asked while watching the big screen.
"The health bar on top isn’t enough, if they fight, they would lose to Chris."
Huang Kaiwen explained.
The female sniper in SOLO is really annoying.
For the first organized competition, the rules basically amount to having no rules.
Many European and American players were also participating in this type of SOLO match for the first time, mostly using heroes they liked.
The Young Master’s female sniper was taking down opponents swiftly, completely unmatched.
After five in the afternoon, Young Master defeated his final opponent Bjergsen and won the championship.
Young Master wore a jacket with logos of Kevin’s Tea, Takahashi Restaurant, Pirelli Tires, Canale5 TV, and the Holy Roman Empire as he went on stage to receive his award.
These were the sponsors of this event.
Young Master took the trophy from the suited Sannetti and held it high, saying, "A long time ago, I wasn’t a son who made my father happy because I didn’t like some things he arranged. I wasn’t clear about what I could do in the future, and thought I might become a punk, or someone who lives off my father’s money. But Uncle Kevin gave me advice, lots of advice, and made me realize that there are many choices in life.
I’ve found joy in electronic sports, found a sense of worth, so I want to thank Uncle Kevin. My ID: KMK, where the M stands for the Maldini surname, because family is important. But the first K isn’t for my name Christian, it’s for Kevin, because without Uncle Kevin, I wouldn’t be standing here. Thank you, Uncle Kevin!"
Huang Kaiwen smiled and applauded.
He just likes this Young Master.
He knew who was good to him since childhood.
"Didn’t even mention me."
Paolo Maldini said sourly.
"Old man, wipe your tears."
Huang Kaiwen joked, "Seeing your son win a competition must make you happy, right?"
"I don’t think playing games can lead to anything meaningful."
Maldini snorted.
But the curve of his mouth betrayed him.
This event was more formal than he had expected, and after hearing how many users LOL had, he felt much more at ease.
If his eldest son could truly stand out among so many people, becoming a professional player was a sensible path.
At least, he wouldn’t worry about Chris starving in the future.
Later, a group of them simply stayed to have a meal at Sannetti’s restaurant.
Inter Milan’s captain personally cooked, and didn’t even charge for the meal.
The Argentine barbecue was indeed very good, using minimal spices yet effectively removing the muttony smell of beef, and the long roasting didn’t make the meat tough, but rather kept it tender and juicy.
No wonder Argentine players love it.
The large group was very satisfied with the food.
As they were leaving, Sannetti called Huang Kaiwen and slipped a card into his hand, saying, "I’ve learned something from your business ways, consider this a gift to you."
"Is it free?"
Huang Kaiwen asked with a smile.
Sannetti replied with a sullen face, "Discounted..."
Huang Kaiwen waved with a smile and left with Lily.
Ramos was interested in opening a restaurant and wanted to stay to ask Sannetti for some details.
Stocks can indeed make money.
But that kind of investment doesn’t have the sense of accomplishment from building a business from nothing.
Huang Kaiwen wasn’t keen to manage these matters.
As long as Ramos didn’t sell stocks prematurely, any business losses could be recouped.
February 20th.
For the away match against Chievo, Clemente still brought Huang Kaiwen along.
This match was tougher than expected.
Having played in the UEFA Champions League midweek, the Milan players weren’t very spirited during the match.
The score remained 1:1 for a long time.
When it reached the 75th minute, Clemente, unable to hold back, decided to substitute Huang Kaiwen.
[Drawn as] Walcott, Huang Kaiwen performed a thrilling sprint at Bentegodi Stadium.
Milan soon scored, but it was hard for Clemente when Huang Kaiwen was injured at the last minute!
