During a break.

Gu Mingli squatted lazily by the field, grabbed a water bottle and gulped down half a bottle of cold water.

By this time, the sun had risen directly overhead.

The scorching sun beat down on the grass, and heat rose from it.

Gu Mingli's jersey was soaked through on the back, the fabric clinging to his skin and causing him great discomfort.

The second half began soon.

Both teams' players were clearly fatigued, with Gu Mingli being the only one who looked like an excited husky, showing no signs of exhaustion.

He dribbled the ball into the opponent's half.

A precise through ball was delivered to Pei Yu on the right wing.

After Pei Yu received the ball, he was half a beat slower due to exhaustion.

That half-beat was immediately seized by a burly man on the other side who was eager to get revenge.

"Pass it back!" Gu Mingli shouted loudly upon seeing this, and at the same time quickly ran towards the middle lane to provide support.

Forced into a corner, Pei Yu quickly passed the ball back.

But the pass was completely inaccurate and the ball was a bit too fast.

Gu Mingli frowned, took two long strides and sprinted after the ball before finally managing to catch it.

He bent down, firmly holding the ball under his toes, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

Large beads of sweat trickled down his sharp temples, slid down his long neck, and finally dripped onto the collar of his sweat-soaked jersey.

On the field, one could faintly smell the scent of male hormones mixed with sweat.

However, the next second.

An extremely clear, cool, and sweet orchid fragrance suddenly emanated from Gu Mingli's sweaty body!

The fragrance was extremely elegant, like a precious orchid in a secluded mountain valley, moistened by the morning dew.

As he accelerated across the court, the scent that wasn't originally associated with a muscular man quickly and forcefully spread outwards.

[Ding! Host's perspiration level has reached the target. The all-around skill [Body Fragrance] Level 2 has been activated.]

[Fragrance diffusion range: 50 zhang in radius.]

[Duration: Depends on the amount of sweat. The more sweat the host produces, the more fragrant the orchid will be, dear~ (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧]

Gu Mingli closed his eyes briefly, veins throbbing on his forehead: (╬ ̄皿 ̄)

He looked down at his sweaty arms and then inhaled the faint fragrance around him, as if he were a "peerless fairy" who had just descended to earth.

"..."

System, I'll f*** your ass!!!

Meanwhile, the person closest to him was the first to notice something was wrong.

Lin Xi, who was running behind him, suddenly slowed down and twitched her nose.

"Wow! What's that smell? Where's the floral fragrance coming from?"

He ran while looking around, completely bewildered.

A burly man from the opposing Shenjia team, who was about to make a tackle, slowed down.

He sniffed hard twice, looking around in confusion.

"What happened? Which girl put perfume on her?"

"It must have drifted over from over there, right?"

The dozen or so men on the court, drenched in sweat, all slowed down their movements.

Some people looked up at the sky, some turned their heads to look at the audience, and some looked down to smell their clothes.

Gu Mingli didn't care whether they lived or died.

Taking advantage of the moment when the group was collectively dazed by the incense, he directly stole the ball and sprinted towards the opposite penalty area.

The group finally snapped out of their daze and started chasing each other wildly again, howling.

Gu Mingli felt his scalp tingle from the awful smell.

He deliberately took a huge detour, running desperately towards the edge of the crowd, trying to spread the fragrance.

The tragedy is that the faster he ran, the more energy he consumed.

The more you sweat, the stronger the "body odor" effect provided by the system!

The fragrance of orchids was like a tangible cloud, growing stronger and stronger, more and more intoxicating.

The first three rows of spectators closest to the stadium were the first to be "baptized" by this fragrance.

"It smells so good! Oh my god, where is this fragrance coming from? It's so refreshing!"

"Quick, smell this! Is this the special incense for today's match? It's absolutely delightful!"

Several noble ladies who were originally using round fans to elegantly fan themselves were now completely disregarding their manners.

They all stood up excitedly and frantically searched around on tiptoe.

"It smells so good! Whose perfume is this?"

"Such high-grade spices must be rare! Go and ask who sells them!"

The fragrance, like a tsunami, continued to spread aggressively.

The wave spread rapidly from the front rows to the back, drifting from the east stands all the way to the west stands, and even the royal area in the main stand was not spared.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the entire stadium, which housed 20,000 to 30,000 people, was enveloped in a serene fragrance of orchids.

Gu Mingli quickly kicked the ball into the goal, wanting to get off the field as soon as possible to wipe the sweat off his body.

Then... the bees came.

At first, there were only a few scattered ones.

It buzzed around Gu Mingli's head.

Gu Mingli waved to shoo them away as he ran.

"Go away! Get out of here!"

Bees followed him everywhere, and their numbers increased.

From the flower bushes outside the stadium, from the orchards next to the logistics park, from the beehives next to the food court.

They flew over in flocks.

The buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if a dark cloud had gathered in the sky.

"Oh my god! A swarm of bees!" Pei Yu was so frightened that she covered her head and squatted on the ground.

"Don't move! The more you run, the more it will chase you!" Lin Xi also squatted down.

The players on the field scattered and fled.

The burly men from Shen's team roared and rushed to the sidelines.

The bees had no interest in anyone else.

They formed a huge vortex around the field, layer upon layer, densely packed.

Gu Mingli stood silently in the center of the field, not daring to move.

Just then, something even more outrageous happened.

A flock of colorful butterflies fluttered in from the woods north of the stadium.

White, yellow, and blue wings fluttered in the sunlight.

Once the butterflies reached the edge of the field, they stopped approaching the bee swarm and scattered.

Sometimes they lined up in a "一" shape, and sometimes they lined up in a "人" shape.

The audience fell silent.

Twenty to thirty thousand people stared wide-eyed at the sky.

Gu Mingli took a deep breath and stared expressionlessly at the group of butterflies performing in formation above his head.

Calm and detached, social death is his norm.

He already possesses a powerful core and won't feel embarrassed.

The referee struck the gong three times.

The match was forced to be suspended.

The men ran into the field with brooms and burning mugwort to drive away the bees.

After a while, the swarm of bees slowly dispersed.

There's no need to chase away the butterflies.

Having lost its goal, it gradually drifted away.

In the main stands.

Geng Zhi frowned slightly and shouted sternly, "Where is this strange fragrance coming from? Men, be on guard!"

The guards simultaneously drew half of their swords with a "whoosh".

They instantly regrouped and surrounded the emperor.

Their eyes were alert, ready to respond to any possible gas attack.

Xiao Ye pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Disperse, everyone."

Watching Gu Mingli running aimlessly around the field, he roughly knew where the fragrance was coming from.

That kid's up to his old tricks again!

It's okay, I'm used to it.

Fortunately, I was sitting in the stands today, far away from Gu Mingli, otherwise I would have been embarrassed too.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he saw the audience in the opposite stands stand up in unison and bow to him.

"Your Majesty's blessings are boundless! You have summoned celestial energy from the heavens!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ye: "..."
