After the match officially ended, the internet exploded.

Ye Chen's five goals were compiled into a highlight reel, which quickly went viral.

Ye Chen's fan base also skyrocketed!

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your fan count has exceeded ten million. You have received a 'Fan Blessing Upgrade Card'!"

The system notification sounded in Ye Chen's mind as the team bus returned to the training ground.

Ye Chen immediately chose to upgrade.

He felt as though his body had been cleansed, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. The 'Fan Blessing' upgrade is successful, evolving into 'Fan Expectation'!"

"What does 'Fan Expectation' do?" Ye Chen asked the system mentally.

"Fan Expectation: +20% to form/performance, +10% to attributes, -10% to injury proneness!"

These effects...

Were incredible!

Combined with his existing attributes, it was game-changing.

However, this made the previous bond he had with Wang Chu somewhat less significant.

"Does this skill stack with bonds?"

"Of course!"

That was still good.

With the advent of "Fan Expectation," reaching a 90 ability rating would directly max out that stat! Other stats also saw significant improvements.

"System, with my current abilities, becoming a king of football shouldn't be a problem, right?" Ye Chen boasted to the system.

"Messi and Ronaldo's stats are both higher than yours, and they haven't become undisputed kings of football. Do you think you're better than them?"

"..."

He was momentarily speechless.

Becoming a king of football wasn't just about impressive stats; it was also about achievements and titles.

If he could win the European Championship and the World Cup with Germany, his place in history would be even greater.

But honestly, Ye Chen was a little apprehensive.

He knew Germany had won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. If his presence somehow prevented them from winning it again, he would be seen as a villain.

It seemed he needed to integrate into the German team as soon as possible.

He would see how things went in the upcoming match against France.

France was always a world-class team, and their squad was no weaker than the current German team.

If only there was a skill to increase team chemistry.

Football was a team sport.

One person, no matter how strong, couldn't do it alone.

Like a fan with the ID "Chen Xiaoxiao," who specifically left a message for Ye Chen on Instagram:

"I like you so, so, so much. Please don't return to the Chinese national team. Otherwise, even if you score ten goals, they'll concede twenty in the back! Please remember this!"

Ye Chen was touched by this message.

Of course, what the fan said made sense.

Even though he had the God-level System, he was afraid his teammates wouldn't be able to keep up.

The bus smoothly pulled into the parking lot, and Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Chen, you're awake!" Shinji Kagawa looked at Ye Chen excitedly.

"Yeah, why haven't you gotten off the bus yet?" Ye Chen nodded slowly.

"It's... it's like this. Could you give me your jersey from today's match?" Kagawa asked hesitantly.

"I can't. I promised Lina I'd give it to her," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"I see... then could you sign my jersey?"

"Of course!" Ye Chen agreed to the simple request.

"Thank you, Ye-kun! I appreciate it!" Kagawa took out his jersey and handed Ye Chen a pen.

"Brother Chen, me too!" Wang Chu, who was in front, also reacted.

"Me too!" Sadio Mané, even though he hadn't played, still had his jersey.

Suddenly, all the players surrounded him.

Everyone knew Ye Chen was destined to become a world-class star.

They wanted to capitalize on his value before he became too famous.

Of course, Kagawa's request for a signature was driven by his desire to use Ye Chen as a role model.

Ye Chen's performance had been deeply impactful for Kagawa.

He had never imagined an Asian player could be this strong.

After all, the top of world football was usually dominated by white and black players, and Asians had never reached such heights.

After signing the jerseys, everyone asked a staff member to take a photo.

Everyone held up their jerseys signed by Ye Chen, capturing this moment at the training ground.

This day was certainly a memorable one.

Dortmund's 6-0 victory over Inter Milan set a new club record for the biggest winning margin in European competition. Ye Chen also set numerous personal records.

If he wanted, he could contact Guinness World Records, but he was too lazy to bother.

However, some people weren't lazy.

As Ye Chen's agent, Mendes had been closely watching Dortmund's Champions League match.

After the match, his phone became extremely busy.

The first call he received was from Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary manager of Manchester United, who were currently in the Europa League.

Ferguson expressed great interest.

Unfortunately, Mendes didn't dare agree immediately, as Ye Chen's own wishes were the most important.

After Ferguson, the second call came from Paris Saint-Germain.

It wasn't from the team's coach but from the club's manager.

PSG had conducted research in China and found that Ye Chen had an incredibly large influence in his home country.

This could easily be seen from the sales of Coca-Cola and Adidas's new products.

When the €50 million release clause was active, PSG had sent their manager to Dortmund, but they had just arrived at the airport when they saw the news of Ye Chen's contract extension.

This had angered the manager so much that he threw his phone.

He even vowed that PSG would never buy Ye Chen.

But how long had it been?

With Javier Pastore's subpar performances, PSG had become a laughing stock.

They desperately needed a symbolic figure.

Money wasn't an issue, but they needed someone with real ability.

Ye Chen was clearly the best option.

Of course, the teams interested in Ye Chen were all top clubs, including Manchester City.

These were all just initial inquiries.

Meanwhile, José Mourinho had a sleepless night. He felt Florentino Pérez didn't understand football.

He didn't realize what Ye Chen's performance signified.

Mourinho even felt Ye Chen was tailor-made for his tactics... even more so than Cristiano Ronaldo.

What did a counter-attacking strategy need most? Skill.

And against weaker teams, Ye Chen's long-range shooting ability was a deadly weapon.

If such a player joined Real Madrid, it would be a win-win situation.

But Florentino had vetoed it.

Of course, Ye Chen, the person in question, had no intention of leaving Dortmund. After returning home, he was full of energy after the "Fan Expectation" upgrade.

That night, Ye Chen carried Lina up to the third floor.

The music began.

Perhaps due to his increased stamina, the "concert" lasted a full five hours.

The price was that Lina's voice was hoarse the next day, and she didn't even have the strength to go back to school.

She had no choice but to call her professor to ask for leave.

But what Lina couldn't bear was that Ye Chen's stamina recovered again the next day.

As she was on the phone asking for leave, the "concert" started again.

If only she hadn't chosen a football player as her boyfriend.

Especially one like Ye Chen, whose recovery ability was terrifying.

The only way to describe it was: "Ye Chen is terrifyingly powerful."
