Upon returning to his room, Gao Nuo immediately took a cold shower; his animal instincts made him feel incredibly uncomfortable at the moment.
After much effort, he managed to calm down Little Gao Nuo.
Lying on the bed, Gao Nuo still felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, he didn't drink alcohol, otherwise, if he had done something out of line in a muddled state, he wouldn't have the face to see Wang Qing again.
After calming himself, Gao Nuo entered the system space to begin training.
In the room next door, Lina also took a shower, but she couldn't calm down.
She couldn't let it go for a long time.
From her upbringing and growth, spending a night with someone she liked was a very normal thing.
She looked at herself in the mirror; her figure was fine, and her looks were also fine.
Lina was attracted by Gao Nuo's looks and physique.
After half a day of interaction, she found that this man was not only elegant but also very humorous and particularly likable.
Having had a bit to drink, Lina started to have impure thoughts.
However, Gao Nuo was oblivious.
After dinner, he didn't invite her to do anything else.
Lina had a flash of inspiration and pretended to be drunk.
It was not easy for the two of them to be in the same room, and seeing Gao Nuo about to leave, Lina took the initiative, throwing herself into his arms, but was repeatedly rejected by Gao Nuo.
Although Lina's little mind couldn't figure out what was going on, it didn't affect her increased interest in Gao Nuo.
What you can't get always causes a stir.
Lina began to ponder countermeasures, and then she just fell asleep.
The next morning, Gao Nuo woke up and found Li Qiang and Wen Na.
He didn't know what time they had returned yesterday, and they both looked like they hadn't had enough sleep.
The three packed their luggage, ready to have breakfast and then head home.
In the hotel restaurant, the three had just sat down when they saw Lina.
Wen Na greeted her with surprise, inviting her to sit with them.
Gao Nuo was extremely awkward and very unnatural, while Lina acted as if nothing had happened.
Learning that they were about to leave, she expressed regret that there were many beautiful places they hadn't had time to visit.
Li Qiang and Wen Na didn't know what had happened last night and chatted enthusiastically with the cheerful English girl.
They exchanged contact information and even invited Lina to visit Manchester City before they left.
This made Gao Nuo gasp in cold air from the side.
Fortunately, Lina still had work and could only bid farewell to the three.
Gao Nuo, who was almost 'eaten,' finally returned home to Manchester safely.
He quickly forgot this alluring trip and began preparing for the upcoming matches.
On September 16, 2023, the 6th round of the English Premier League saw Manchester United challenge Manchester City away, another derby.
In the first five League rounds, Manchester United achieved an excellent record of 4 wins and 1 loss, accumulating 12 points, tied with Arsenal, ranking 2nd and 3rd in the standings.
Manchester City was even more formidable, with a direct 5-game winning streak, leading the standings with 15 points.
The teams did not disappoint the fans, putting on an attacking spectacle.
Haaland completed a hat-trick, while Neymar and Gao Nuo each scored a goal.
Ultimately, Manchester United regrettably lost the match 2:3.
On September 23, 2023, the 7th round of the English Premier League saw Manchester United defeat Everton 3:1 at home, with Gao Nuo scoring a goal.
In the following two weeks, Manchester United successively defeated Bournemouth and Aston Villa, securing a 3-game winning streak.
Manchester United continued its sharp attacking style, scoring 7 goals in two matches.
Gao Nuo performed poorly, only providing two assists and no goals.
The team's good performance greatly satisfied the fans, who were very "lenient" and did not criticize Gao Nuo for failing to score in two matches.
The coaching staff also had no complaints about Gao Nuo; his ability to draw defenders on the field created more attacking space for the team.
Gao Nuo was very dissatisfied with his own performance.
His teammates created many opportunities for him, but his luck was too bad in these two matches, either hitting the post or the crossbar.
With 9 rounds of the League already passed, he had only scored 4 goals, a full 13 goals behind Haaland, who was first in the top scorer list.
Haaland, jokingly called the "Demon" by Chinese fans, after winning the Premier League Golden Boot in a record-breaking fashion last season, evolved again this season.
He scored 17 goals in 9 Premier League matches, not only sending Manchester City to the top of the standings but also dominating the top scorer list himself.
Anxiety drove Gao Nuo to train even more frantically.
Finally, before the 10th round of the Premier League began, he obtained a Player Experience Card in a friendly match instance.
This was the second Experience Card Gao Nuo had received.
Since obtaining Klose's Experience Card a long time ago, Gao Nuo hadn't seen a trace of this thing again.
He had once inquired the system, only to receive the cold reply of "extremely low probability."
For a year, he had forgotten about this item, but the goddess of luck finally favored Gao Nuo.
"Activate Player Experience Card!"
"Congratulations, host, you have received a Ronaldo Experience Card.
Do you confirm usage?"
Gao Nuo was ecstatic.
Ronaldo, the Alien, Brazil's generation of Football Kings, one of the strongest center-forwards in history, Ronaldo's reputation was thunderous, and his awards were countless.
After calming himself slightly, Gao Nuo confirmed the use of the Experience Card to the system with anticipation.
The virtual space in front of him shifted, and when Gao Nuo opened his eyes again, he had gained Ronaldo's first-person perspective.
Gao Nuo focused his mind, wholeheartedly experiencing everything about a top center-forward, afraid of missing a single second.
The system recreated the 1998 World Cup match between Brazil and the Netherlands.
Ronaldo had too many classic matches, and this one was also one of the classics that made him famous.
Gao Nuo was completely immersed in the match, carefully feeling Ronaldo's understanding of the game.
90 minutes passed quickly, and the system space returned to its original state.
Gao Nuo lay on the grass with his eyes closed, organizing his gains.
He constantly replayed the scenes he had just witnessed in his mind: how Ronaldo moved, how he shook off defenders, how he observed his teammates' actions, his choices when facing defense, his choices when receiving passes from teammates, and his choices when facing the goal.
Previously, in the center-forward position, Gao Nuo served his teammates more.
Neymar and Rashford cut in to attack the goal, Bruno Fernandes's forward runs were also very threatening, and even Rice and Casemiro's powerful long-range shots.
Gao Nuo preferred to share the ball with these capable and reliable teammates.
It wasn't that Gao Nuo lacked confidence in himself, but rather that he had become accustomed to the strength of his teammates.
Often, when attacking the goal, Gao Nuo would always give up space, leaving it for his teammates around him.
During the match experience, Gao Nuo felt Ronaldo's significance to the team: leading the team's attack from the very front; suppressing the opponent's defense, making defenders afraid to push forward; always being in a position to attack the goal, ready for a fatal blow at any moment.
Gao Nuo did his best to record his gains and then began his training.
