Before the start of the National Games, Qin Chunxiao successfully adapted to the new life.

He opened his eyes at 5:00 a.m. every day in the bed of 800,000 yuan. He took the dog tote, a biodegradable plastic bag, and a water bottle with him for a few kilometers, and then went home with the dog who was too tired to walk.

He was too good at running. The dog always consumed a lot of energy by running in the morning. So far, she had not had any problems with tearing up the house. Apart from learning the rules with her little master, she just focused on eating and sleeping, and her milk fat slowly fades away. Some strong tendons could be vaguely touched.

Qin’s parents persuaded: “Xiaozi, Cuihua is still young, too much exercise can’t bear it.”

Qin Chunxiao gave his thumbs up: “It’s okay, when she can’t run, I will carry her and run, it’s like a load.”

Parents of the Qin family: Even though they knew that the physical fitness of athletes was very good, they still couldn’t believe that the difference between human beings could be so great.

Qin’s father was a weak researcher, Qin’s mother was too busy to exercise, and Qin’s elder sister relied on her younger brother’s help to pass the high school entrance examination. Xiao Qin’s monthly exercise was as much as the whole family for a year, so he was naturally super strong.

Qin Chao sighed: “Children always become very good when their parents don’t realize it.”

This was the characteristic of the UR card. While parents were contemplating whether to allocate more resources to the younger sibling, the younger sibling independently leveled up and returned with a bunch of resources, asking if they were needed.

Parents: Keep it for yourself, come on, here is your pocket money for this month.

The Qin family will give the children pocket money until they are admitted to university, and after university, the money will be renamed as living expenses, and the amount will increase greatly.

Qin Chunxiao suddenly became a wealthy man with a five-figure pocket. He was not used to spending money recklessly, so he saved up 70,000 yuan from his pocket money and the prize money he won from playing games. Although it was not as good as buying a car by himself like his older sister, saving made his pocket stronger than his peers.

Xiao Qin was only 16 years old this year.

Qin’s parents didn’t know about Qin Chunxiao’s desire to play abroad, so they could only follow their son’s suggestion and call Coach Newton.

Newton had received a lot of such calls in recent days.

With the end of the Asian Championships, not only players and players’ parents called Newton, but also leaders of volleyball associations, coaches of foreign clubs, and coaches of provincial teams.

As a rare domestic men’s volleyball coach who had worked abroad, when the domestic men’s volleyball team wanted to play outside, there seemed to be no one else to ask for advice except him.

From salary to language, environment to public security, while calling friends he met abroad to inquire, Newton sorted out these questions, made a form, and replied one by one.

He found that most of these invited players were willing to go out. In other words, they all want to improve themselves in higher-intensity arenas, so they were willing to overcome language problems and went to unfamiliar places.

According to Ding Rong’s words: “If we don’t practice more now, when we get older, we won’t have the spirit.”

Heart was too important for players, because looking at the sports world, there was no athlete who dared not fight hard to climb to the top, but with age and injuries, the heart would also fade.

Qin Chunxiao had a profound realization of this. If he hadn’t mustered the courage to go to Brazil in his previous life, he might not have been able to unleash his defensive talent. And if his soulmate, Lu Xuandong, had not been in the right mood, he would probably be a singer in the entertainment industry and would not have changed his path to become the president of a multi-billion-dollar business group.

The road is always full of twists and turns.

The coaches and parents would hesitate, but the salary provided by the club can effectively alleviate these concerns. After all, the maximum salary for the domestic men’s volleyball team was only 30,000 to 40,000 per year. If someone secured an endorsement, it may be even higher. However, the commercial value of the men’s volleyball team… let’s not even mention it.

The lowest offer from foreign clubs this time was 4.8 million yuan (240,000 RMB). What’s more, athletes didn’t have to go there for a whole year, as long as they finished playing in the club league, it would never take more than three months. Earn a year’s money in one season, why not go?

You Ziyu, Xiong Wu, and Mao Xunfeng all received invitations from Japanese clubs, and they were the first to decide to go. Before the start of the National Games, they had already negotiated matters with the club and the volleyball association, and made a report. Signed the contract.

The main reason was that Japan was close, and it didn’t take time to travel back and forth by plane, so it was just a way to earn extra money. It was just a chance to get a feel for the Japanese players, study their style of play, and went farther and farther on the road of nemesis.

Under the introduction of Newton, Gao Depi made up his mind to go to the Italian Super League for further studies. He was expected to enter the ENEL club and be teammates with UR-level setter Mattia.

But Fu Biyang and Qiao Mingming were still thinking about it. It was said that it was because Coach Lorenzo bought 300 chickens from Fujia chicken farm when he invited them, which made them feel that this person was very unreliable. Get them in touch with Lorenzo to make sure he was not a donkey jock.

At the end of August, when the National Games opened, Qin Chunxiao arrived in Tianjin with the team. After attending the opening ceremony, Newton came to him and Li Ling with offers from various clubs.

Among the offers Qin Chunxiao received, there were two clubs that wanted to take him and Er Leng away, one was the Polish Lynx Club, and the other was the Russian Hamster Club.

Their quotations are ↓

Lynx Club: Qin Chunxiao $270,000, Li Ling $250,000;

Hamster Club: $300,000 for Qin Chunxiao and $280,000 for Li Ling.

Qin Chunxiao was the player who got the highest price in this wave of bids. Qiao Mingming, who was in second place, got 280,000 euros, which was approximately equal to 290,000 U.S. dollars. Li Ling was the third.

With higher stability and defensive ability, as well as honorary titles such as the best response in the two competitions and MVP, Qin Chunxiao was a little more expensive than Li Ling, but not too much, because the two clubs understood that as long as they catch up Qin Chunxiao, Li Ling would be very useful.

At present, Qin Chunxiao prefer the Hamster Club. Money was not important, the main thing was the sincerity of others. The letter was written with sincerity, which moved Qin Chunxiao.

Moreover, as a famous coach, Nikolai was also very attractive to athletes who were willing to go further. Qin Chunxiao had made great progress with Mars and completed the transformation from offense to defense. He looked forward to Nikola’s ability to give him more changes.

Qin Chunxiao added: “And after I study the style of play of Russian athletes, it will be more convenient for us to meet in the international arena in the future.”

Newton reminded him: “Your own style of play will also be studied.”

Qin Chunxiao: “That’s right, but I studied their first team, and they can only study me and Er Leng. If you calculate it, you still make money.”

2 for N, besides Er Leng this person couldn’t even study Qin Chunxiao thoroughly, let alone the Russians.

Newton laughed: “So, don’t be afraid of being studied after you go out. Everything is mutual. As long as you can continue to improve yourself, what can your opponent do against you? Besides, you still have teammates, and they are also improving.”

Lao Niu summed it up in one sentence: “I watched an old TV series back then, and there was a line in it that said, ‘Building the Great Wall without cultivating the Tao will only result in many Wu Sanguis who will open the door.’ It applies to you as an athlete as well. Becoming stronger yourself is sometimes more important than studying others, and don’t forget your purpose of playing in the Russian Super League.”

After talking about this, Newton and Qin Chunxiao finally finalized the matter of going to the Russian Super League and sent a message there.

Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling were two players who were willing to play for the Hamster Club, and the volleyball association was also ok, just came and signed.

The reply over there was also very fast – we will send someone to sign the contract right away.

Russian postal service was very metaphysical. Sometimes they delivered the goods very fast and the goods were well preserved, but sometimes the goods were lost halfway, and the compensation efficiency was extremely low. Facing the twin stars Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling, the Hamster Club chose to have someone send over the contract.

The letter they sent to Qin Chunxiao was quickly sent to the club’s official website and Twitter after Qin Chunxiao replied, and even applied for an account on the bib.

Newton saw it clearly: “This is a casual move. They are optimistic about Xiaozai’s skills, but they also have expectations for his commercial value.”

How big was the Chinese market? Just look at the former NBA president who waited for many days outside the CCTV building with the materials and gave away the long-time broadcast rights for free. Once this market was opened, it would make those commercial sports leagues fat. Even if it only expanded their popularity, it would not be a loss for them.

Nikolai was not only a coach, but also a director of the club. His favor for Qin Chunxiao was not only due to Qin Chunxiao’s ability to fill the defensive vacancy of the Hamster Club, but also to his eye-catching face.


It was a pity that Qin Chunxiao’s Russian leveling was not going well. His language talent was not particularly bad, but his talent in sports is a bit mediocre. It is strenuous.

It was unfortunate that Qin Chunxiao’s progress in learning Russian was not going well. While his athletic were not particularly bad, his language skill were mediocre, making it quite challenging for him.

But compared to Qin Chunxiao, who could read elementary school textbooks anyway, Er Leng was far behind. He successfully finished watching “Love in Petersburg” and was so enthralled by the emotional entanglements in it that he couldn’t sleep well for two nights. He looked like speak the most fluent Russian, although his vocabulary had nothing to do with the play.

So far, he had only learned basic Russian phrases like “да(yes),” “нет(no),” and “сука.”

Qin Chunxiao felt that if this boy was ignored, he would have to deal with a lot of trouble once they arrived in Russia.

He tapped Li Ling’s head and said, “Stop using foul language in Russian. Let’s go, let’s go to the National Games.”

Volleyball in the National Games was divided into senior groups and under-21 groups. Both Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling had entered the senior teams, and the competition pressure would be even greater.

There were also a lot of participating teams this year, with a total of 24 teams. The main committee of the competition would divide them into four groups of six teams, and conduct a round-robin match according to the Berger arrangement.

The Guangdong team was assigned to Group A, with Hunan, Hubei, Hong Kong, Jiangsu, and Xinjiang teams in the same group, three of which would be eliminated.

There were many participating events and teams in the National Games, and volleyball needed two matches a day to ensure that the volleyball schedule ends before the end of the National Games.

Li Ling saw the schedule and gave a wicked smile: “Hey, we’re going to deal with old acquaintances.”

You Ziyu, captain of the Hubei team, yes, the one nicknamed Squid, are you personally ready to fight the defensive team to the end?

Gao Depi knocked on the door: “Let’s go.”

Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling got up at the same time and walked to the captain side by side.

On the first day of the National Games, the Guangdong team would face the Hubei team and the Hong Kong team.

The main team of this year’s Guangdong Provincial Team consists of 7 players—captain Gao Depi, deputy team Qin Chunxiao, setter Li Ling, main attacker Pang Ze, main attacker Zhong Jiaxin, assistant attacker Li Xiaoping, and libero Huang Qi.

Gao Depi, who was born in 1991 and was 26 years old this year, was the oldest player in the team. Coupled with his seniority, he was more than enough to overwhelm the field.

Gao Depi once joked: “When I retire, Xiaozai will seamlessly take over as captain, and we will be the captains of the two shortest provincial teams in the country.”

Pishen felt that he could fight for at least another four years, and he could make it to the Paris Olympics. At that time, Xiaozai was in his twenties, and he would not be overwhelmed by his age as the captain of the national team.

Qin Chunxiao: “Don’t mention the matter of height.”

He changed into the Guangdong team’s red and white team uniform with numbers printed in yellow, and also wore black bottoming short sleeves and shorts as usual.

Ever since he learned that his national team number was 8, Lao Chen changed his number in the provincial team to 8 as well, saying that it would be easier for him to remember. When everyone shouted the number 8 in the future, they would realize that it was Qin Chunxiao.

Pang Ze leaned over. He was a tall man with a height of two meters. He was the highest altitude in the team. His technique was not refined enough, but he was very strong.

“Xiaozi, isn’t it hot for you to dress like this? It’s August now.”

Qin Chunxiao: “Fortunately, the indoor arenas are all air-conditioned, so it won’t hurt to wear more clothes.”

Walking into the stadium, Qin Chunxiao was rarely surprised—for the first time, the men’s volleyball competition, which had always been deserted, was so full that only the last two rows had vacancies.

Who knew if it was because of the good publicity of this National Games, or because the enthusiasm of the fans had skyrocketed after the Asian Championships.

At this moment, Li Ling pointed at the auditorium with a trembling voice: “Xiaozi, what is that! Furui?”

Qin Chunxiao followed his fingers to look over, and found a suspicious creature in a goat costume, holding a Big Big Wolf balloon and sitting behind the auditorium.

It was hard for the people to wear a beast costume in this weather, although Qin Chunxiao knew that there were air-conditioning vents above the last two rows of the auditorium when he stepped on the spot before the game.

Seeing Qin Chunxiao looking over, the Furui raised his hand and waved it friendly.

A thought crossed Qin Chunxiao’s mind, had he seen this guy at the Temple of Heaven Hotel before?

Meng Yuling sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the men’s volleyball field by her sister. She looked at the noisy scene happily: “There are so many people. It’s been a long time since I went to watch the game.”

Before the amputation operation, she also ran on the field.

At this moment, her eyes glanced at the animal costume she made by herself not far away.

Meng Yuqing also stared wide-eyed: “Isn’t that Xiaodong? Xiangnan said clearly that he went to negotiate with the brokerage company to terminate the contract, why did he come to Tianjin?”
