My buildings have attributes

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "Aren't there enough scandals in the World Cup already?"

"No, Brother Chen, if you manipulated the World Cup, wouldn't you make money?" Wang Wei continued to tempt him.

"Manipulating the World Cup? Forget it, too much trouble, and you won't make much money."

Chen Ling was somewhat tempted, but after thinking about it, he realized it was too much trouble. He figured he might as well continue building houses, since he was making money quite quickly anyway.

“Brother Chen, how can the World Cup not make money? Every World Cup sees over 5000 billion US dollars in bets worldwide. If we could control the World Cup, we could earn at least 1000 billion US dollars,” Wang Wei said excitedly, as if he could control the World Cup.

"How much?" Chen Ling was taken aback.

“1000 meters of gold, at the very least,” Wang Wei said definitively.

"If Guo Qing's team wins the championship, how much will we earn?" Chen Ling asked after thinking for a moment.

"1500 billion US dollars, at least."

Five minutes later, Chen Ling enthusiastically discussed with Wang Wei the issue of how Guo Qing's team could qualify for the World Cup.

"So, in other words, we have to defeat 'Sha Te' in half a month?" Chen Ling asked after learning about the World Cup qualifiers schedule.

“Yes, as long as we defeat the Dzungars first, then the Koreans and the Japanese, then we’ll be in luck,” Wang Wei nodded and said.

"No problem, leave it to me. You continue to lead the team in physical training."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

1500 billion US dollars is no small sum. Chen Ling worked hard to build houses but didn't earn that much money.

Besides, who doesn't want more money? Why not go build a house?

Every time an epic building is constructed, it's a money-burning endeavor.

Take the blueprints for the Mo Family Mechanical City from the New Year's gift package, for example. The system's quote for building this Mo Family Mechanical City is 12000 trillion.

Why is it that the Azure Dragon Building, which is also an epic building, only cost 500 billion, while the Mo Family Mechanized City cost 12000 trillion?

The main reason is the difference in building scale. No matter how impressive the Qinglong Building is, it is still just a building.

The Mo Family's Mechanical City was indeed a city, though small, it was about the size of a county town.

Furthermore, 80% of the materials used in the Mo Family Mechanical City are metal, which is why it is so expensive.

Originally, Chen Ling hadn't planned to release the Mo family's mechanisms elsewhere. After all, 12000 trillion was no small sum; with that money, he could have built even more epic structures.

But Wang Wei's suggestion gave him inspiration.

Manipulating the World Cup and betting on matches—that's how you make money.

However, manipulating the World Cup is a technical task, so he first needs to secure a special venue for the World Cup qualifiers, a special home stadium, and the stadium has already been decided.

After receiving the news, Chen Ling immediately dispatched a robot to Sha Te to repair the fence at Sha Te's stadium.

However, Chen Ling did not generate attributes directly, because if he did, that special entity would become alert.

Soon, the 17th arrived. On this day, Guo Qing's team arrived at Sha Te to prepare for tomorrow's match.

That evening, Chen Ling controlled the robot to return to the Shate Stadium.

"System, generate attributes."

"Perfect stadium construction complete, attributes being generated... Generation complete, stadium attributes are as follows: Home advantage +35, Stamina recovery +35, Full-field press +35."

Chen Ling curled his lip after seeing this attribute.

All of these are attributes that favor the home team. No, the last attribute should be a tactical attribute.

"System, replace the first two attributes," Chen Ling commanded.

"Attribute replacement in progress... Replacement complete. New attributes are as follows: Absolute balance +30, both teams' stamina -35."

This was the second time Chen Ling had seen an attribute with a minus sign, but this attribute was very advantageous for Guo Qing's team.

After all, each member of Guo Qing's team has exceeded the human body's physical limits by 20%. In terms of physical strength alone, Guo Qing's team is invincible.

Therefore, if both teams' physical strength decreases, this attribute will be advantageous to Guo Qing's team.

"System, continue replacing the first attribute."

"Attribute replacement in progress... Replacement complete. New attribute as follows: Death Home Field +35".

"Continue the replacement."

"...Noise pollution +35."

"Continue the replacement."

Chen Ling kept changing attributes for more than ten minutes until he finally got a decent one.

"Miracles happen with great effort +35".

Upon seeing this attribute, Chen Ling stopped. After all, with these three attributes, it wouldn't be a problem for Guo Qing's team to win against any opponent.

Ultimately, the attributes of the Shate Stadium are: Miracles happen with great force +35, both teams' stamina -35, full-field pressing +35.

After determining the attributes, Chen Ling made a phone call to Wang Wei.

"For tomorrow's game, remember two things. First, great power can work wonders. You don't need to rush into the penalty area. Just find an opportunity to unleash a powerful shot from the front. Second, press the entire field. This tactic is in line with the feng shui of the stadium. As long as you remember these two points, you're guaranteed to win."

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll go get the coach to make the arrangements right away." Wang Wei was very excited.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ling instructed Cang Ming to place bets on major betting websites around the world, dividing the 10 billion into tens of thousands of separate bets, all betting on Hualixia to win.

"Cangming, calculate the odds. How much money can I make if I win?" Chen Ling asked.

“Master, based on the current odds, if we win, we can earn 125 billion,” Cangming replied.

Chen Ling was very satisfied after hearing this; he realized that betting on football was so profitable.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: These attributes are damn toxic!

The next day, the highly anticipated World Cup qualifiers began.

The players from Guo Qing's team and Sha Te's team entered the stadium, which was packed to capacity.

Chen Ling watched the broadcast of the match on CCTV-5 at home, with He Wei providing commentary.

"Hello everyone, I am your commentator for this match, He Wei."

We can now see that both teams' players have entered the field and are warming up. The match will start in fifteen minutes.

The venue for this match is the Djokhala Stadium in Shat. As you may have noticed, there are no female spectators in the entire stadium. This is because female spectators are not allowed to enter the stadium to watch the game in Shat.

However, it seems that next year, Shate will develop women's spectator stands, allowing women to enter the stadium to watch the game.

"By the way, 'women' refers to girls aged 6 and above. Girls under 6 can come to watch the game with their fathers." He Wei started rambling on.

For some reason, Chen Ling suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw the little girl in the audience.

This feeling came about in a strange way, but I didn't know where it came from.

"Remember, keep pressing the entire court, keep pressing the entire court. Don't be afraid to waste your energy, just push them to their limits."

Wang Wei, standing on the sidelines, gave instructions to Guo Qing's team members.

"Brother Wang, we've got it. Just two points: brute force creates miracles and full-court press." Wang Jinxian nodded and said.

"Alright, get ready to go on stage."

The players from both sides entered the field, and the match began.

"Shutter kicks off first, our players... wait, our players rush up to steal the ball? Shutter number 7 passes the ball, and our players go to steal it again."

"Our players are playing very aggressively, all of them are running around actively." He Wei was also a little stunned; he didn't understand today's tactics.

And so they competed and fought, everyone putting in a lot of effort.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Shat made a long pass, sending the ball to the frontcourt.

"Oh no, our overall formation is too far forward, too high up the pitch. Number 9 is breaking through, and he's done! He's charging towards the penalty area and unleashing a powerful shot... Goal!" He Wei said with a hint of helplessness.

Only five minutes into the game, Shate scored a goal; this match is going to be tough.

"That last goal wasn't exactly a mistake, since our players fought very hard. The reason we conceded a goal was probably a tactical error."

"Shate's current squad has pretty good technique. Our full-field pressing tactics put a lot of pressure on Shate, but they used a combination of short and long passes to stretch our defenders' legs and increase their stamina."

Chen Ling was also dumbfounded when he heard this.

This doesn't make sense. Why isn't the full-court press tactic working?

Those have attribute bonuses, how could we let that special goal go?

Chen Ling was a little stunned. This was really the first time he had ever seen an attribute fail.

On the other hand, Wang Wei was also completely bewildered.

What happened? There was a problem with Brother Chen's tactics. The full-field pressing tactic failed, and the opponent even scored a goal instead.

"Brother Wang, should we change our tactics?"

"Wait, I'll call and ask."

Wang Wei picked up the phone and called Chen Ling.

"Brother Chen, should we change our tactics? Full-court press isn't working," Wang Wei asked with some concern.

"Let's wait a bit. If we concede another goal, we'll change our tactics." Chen Ling thought for a moment and decided to give it another try.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

The timeout is over, the game continues.

Guo Qing's team continued to use the full-court press tactic, forcing the players to keep passing the ball and making runs.

Both sides' physical strength was rapidly depleted under such circumstances.

Fifteen minutes into the first half, Shat got another chance. Just like his previous goal, he dribbled past his marker and unleashed a powerful shot from just outside the penalty area, scoring another goal.

Holy crap...

When Chen Ling saw that Shot had scored another goal, he was completely devastated.

What kind of thing is this?
