He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 404 Li Ji and others appear, shocking the teammates.

When they saw them arrive, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Ji thought to himself, "Oh no, all these monsters and demons around me have been seen through in an instant."

After all, they spend every day together, so such a big flaw would definitely be seen through.

We have to find a way to smooth things over.

"Let me explain—"

"Ododo, when did your French become so good? And you even have a touch of elegant Parisian accent."

Ododo was the black goalkeeper replaced by Li Ji. He didn't expect that the people behind him were so diverse, and it turned out that what everyone cared about most was his accent.

“I’ve been practicing a lot lately. I enrolled in an intensive French course at New Oriental.”

"No wonder."

It was only then that everyone noticed the group of oddballs behind them.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the cross-dressing Steve (Dailulu).

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Delulu smiled slightly and even twirled around.

The shimmering silver skirt swayed gently beside her hairy thighs, eliciting a wave of nausea.

Everyone gritted their teeth, but no one could utter a single word.

Lee Ki explained, "Steve actually—"

The gray-haired coach raised his hand and said, "No need to say more, we all understand. It's his freedom."

"That's acceptable."

“We French people are very open-minded, you can adapt gradually.”

After speaking, the old coach glanced at the hunched-over Second Young Master Mang and Shark Baby, who was on all fours.

"They've gone for something abstract again. This time, their approach is quite novel."

"Don't you find this strange at all? Is there anyone decent on this team?"

The head coach began his pre-match speech.

"In this match, we will be facing the other teams from Royal Cosmic Tower!"

The man, who was in his fifties, suddenly started shouting excitedly.

"I'm so happy!"

Lee Ki was startled by the team's sudden outbursts; this team was becoming increasingly strange.

He glanced around and saw no one who looked like an athlete.

The oldest one has gray hair; he's probably almost 60.

And that fat guy stuffing a huge handful of fries into his mouth, looking like a mountain of meat, is hardly the physique of a football player.

How could a team like that possibly compete with the world's number one team?

The head coach said, "Although there is a significant difference in our strength."

"It's an enormous disparity."

"But we must also take it seriously, after all, it was not easy for us to get to this round."

Li Ji truly hadn't expected that such a ragtag group could qualify to compete against other teams from the Royal Cosmic Tower. They must have gone through countless miraculous matches, defeating one strong opponent after another.

The head coach continued, "Think about which opponents we beat to get to this point."

"The Lyon Minions have been disqualified for bribing the referee."

"Nancy Fishers have been disqualified because a member of the team accidentally ingested performance-enhancing drugs."

"And then there was the Paris Third Primary School team, who suffered from food poisoning and fell ill on the field. That match was really close; if it weren't for Steve's goal at the end, we would have been defeated by them."

"The first two matches were really brutal. We lost both 8-0, and I didn't expect that our opponents would both have problems after the games. Maybe that's just how strong we are."

Li Ji exclaimed, "That's pure luck!"

The head coach frowned: "Ododo, you're talking a lot today."

"I'm sorry." Li Ji realized something was wrong; he had strayed a bit from the character, and continuing like this would increase the risk of being discovered.

"I understand."

Li Ji was a little nervous: "What do you understand?" "This is your French class homework, right? Your teacher tells you to talk more so that you can improve your French. No wonder you've improved so quickly."

"That's right, that's right."

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what he was worried about. These monsters and demons wouldn't be discovered, so how could he possibly be mistaken for an alien?

He originally thought it was a very bad team, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

"Let's analyze their match video. We can't let our guard down then."

Li Ji didn't expect them to go through a formal process so seriously; that's quite professional of them.

Everyone sat down in a row at the restaurant table, and the television started playing.

Li Ji looked closely at the television screen; instead of a football field, it showed a grand venue.

"Head coach, are we sure we didn't put them in the wrong place?"

"Shh, don't talk."

Everyone was completely focused on the television, so Li Ji had no choice but to give up.

On television, a familiar-looking retired football star announced on stage: "The winner of the FIFA World Player of the Year award is—Manelli!"

Lee Ki watched eagerly as Manelli walked to the front of the stage to receive his award and delivered his full acceptance speech.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the burger joint.

The players took off their outer garments, revealing the number 10 jerseys of other Royal Cosmic Tower teams underneath, and, like Manelli's most ardent fans, shouted his name together.

Even those who were clueless, like Shark and others, joined in. The entire Old John's Burger team on 17th Street held hands and celebrated Manelli winning the FIFA World Player of the Year award in the restaurant, as well as the 11 players from the Royal Cosmo Tower team all making this year's World Football Best XI.

Li Ji fell into a daze.

"Aren't we their opponents in the next game? Isn't this supposed to be a pre-match pep talk? How did it turn into a fan party?"

Big John put down his fried chicken and asked jokingly, "Ododo, you're not really planning to beat the Royals, are you?"

"if not?"

Everyone burst into laughter, pointing at Li Ji and saying, "Dude, what are you thinking? Why don't you go fight aliens? What kind of strength do we have? We'd be happy to die if we could get close to them even once in our lives. How could we possibly defeat them?"

Big Fat John laughed and said, "When Manelli comes charging at me, he may be able to get past me, but I can use my big belly to knock him away. He'll be covered in oil from the impact and won't be able to compete."

Everyone was amused by his jokes and couldn't stop laughing.

Li Ji felt there was some truth to it, and he didn't know when he had developed the illusion of wanting to compete against the Royal Team.

How is this any different from the little demons eliminating Tang Sanzang and his disciples?

Instead of wasting time playing football with these guys, just enjoy the fun of playing with your idols, give it your all, and leave no regrets.

He smiled and said, "You're right."

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Young Master Mang shouted, and the entire room immediately fell silent.

Everyone stared at the Arab man whose clothes were folded into the shape of the Chinese character "厂".

As he spoke, the fully automated robotic arm moved freely: "I am the world's best football king—"

The robotic arm picked up a glass of cola.

"I must give it my all—"

A robotic arm poured an entire bag of fries into a cola.

"I want to prove myself against Manelli!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the robotic arm shoved all the cola-soaked fries into his mouth.

Everyone burst into laughter at this scene.

"You're hilarious today. You should save your breath. You can't possibly beat Manelli, otherwise you wouldn't still be teaching PE in elementary school at 29."

Young Master Mang's mouth was stuffed full of fries, and he couldn't speak. He wanted to spit the fries out, but the robotic arm kept stuffing all sorts of food into his mouth. He looked like a hamster with his mouth bulging.

A man in a silver halter dress suddenly stepped forward: "He certainly can't beat Manelli, but I can meow!"

Li Ji felt a death urge: "Can you please stop taking turns embarrassing yourselves like this?!"
