> "Unprecedented Ten-Game Win Streak! Crystal Palace is on a Rampage!"
"33 Goals in Ten Matches! Kai Feeds a Championship Golden Boot into Existence!"
"James Vaughn Enjoys a Career Renaissance—18 Goals This Season!"
"A Perfect Pairing? Vaughn to the Media: 'Without Kai, I Wouldn't Be Here Today!'"
"Title Declaration! Crystal Palace's Goal This Season: Championship Glory!"
The London media exploded with excitement.
All of Selhurst Park was still caught in the aftershock of victory.
Under the night sky of South London,
The stadium was brilliantly lit.
The passion of Crystal Palace fans refused to die down.
Championship.
For players and fans alike, that word was now everything.
Hearts pounded with adrenaline, minds burned with ambition!
Even years later, no one would forget this night.
What was supposed to be just another ordinary Championship game—
Had become legendary.
With a single shout, Crystal Palace's young Eagle King, Kai, united the voices of 30,000 fans.
Under the gaze of thousands, he declared their ultimate goal: to be champions.
In that moment—
Kai became the eternal king in the hearts of Crystal Palace fans.

After the match against Reading,
Crystal Palace had officially achieved an unprecedented 10-match winning streak!
They'd risen all the way from the relegation zone—
Now, 20 games into the season, they were 5th in the standings,
Firmly placed in the top-tier playoff contention zone.
Naturally, the media spotlight returned to them once more.
They were now the hottest team in South London.
And with all that success—
Came the inevitable transfer buzz.
Holloway's desk was stacked with transfer offers.
This time, he couldn't just toss them in the trash like before.
Because most of them were from top-tier leagues.
And 90% of them were about one player: Kai.
From the Premier League to La Liga,
Every offer came from big-name clubs.
Even clubs in the Bundesliga and Serie A joined the fray.
Every top team lacking midfield talent was desperate to snap up this super prodigy.
Even those with enough midfielders wanted to block him from falling into a rival's hands.
Everyone wanted him.
Not only that—
Vaughn had also received offers!
His recent explosive form had caught the attention of his old club, Everton,
Which now wanted to tentatively bring him back to Merseyside.
For manager Holloway, these were…
Happy headaches.
All of them!
Still, he couldn't help but feel a little downcast and conflicted.
> "At this rate, by the end of the season, I won't just lose Kai…"
"…Even Vaughn might be poached by a bigger club."
Assistant coach Millen stood beside him and offered comfort:
> "Come on, look on the bright side."
"One day, we'll face the media and proudly say—"
"See that world-class superstar out there? Yeah, he once played under me."
"I coached him for a season."
"Doesn't that feel a bit better?"

That night,
After his daily individual training with Pintus,
Kai lay in bed—
System reward settlement time had finally arrived!
> Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have completed Main Mission 2: Start 10 Matches for a Professional Team!
Reward Unlocked: 1x Black Gold Chest!
The Black Gold Chest—finally!
> "Open it!"
Kai didn't hesitate.
In an instant—
Golden light flashed before his eyes!
The Black Gold-tier treasure chest rotated in front of him!
His heart pounded rapidly.
Suddenly—
The chest opened.
A sharp pain stabbed the back of his head!
> Ding! Congratulations, Host, on opening the Black Gold Chest!
You have received: Golden Line Skill – Transcendent Long Shot!
A stream of pure power surged into his mind,
Flowing into every part of his body.
Kai's eyes widened in shock.
> Another Golden Line?!
He knew exactly what this meant.
With God's Eye view, every one of his passes and shots would display a color-coded trajectory:
White line: very low success rate
Red line: moderate success
Purple line: high success
Gold line: 100% guaranteed success
> [Golden Line – Transcendent Long Shot]: Once per match, the Host can unleash a long-range shot from the opponent's half, outside the penalty box, with Golden Line guidance. Result: Guaranteed goal.
As the synthesized voice echoed in his mind,
Kai leapt up from his bed!
> "Golden Line… for long shots?!"
This was insane.
He now had one guaranteed goal from a long-range shot every match.
It was like holding a permanent "goal from anywhere" cheat card.
But unlike a one-time-use item—
This was a permanent ability!
Which meant—
Kai suddenly realized—
> He had become a weapon that starts every match with a virtual 1–0 advantage.
Who in world football could guarantee a goal every game?
At their peak, even Messi and Ronaldo only managed close to that—
But never for their entire careers.
From now on—
Kai could.
And when combined with his exceptional playmaking…
Kai's chest surged with passion.
He couldn't even begin to imagine the terrifying heights his future would reach—
Or just how many people he would stun along the way.
