The moment he scored the penalty, Hao Ren immediately ran off the field.
Kimmich, a substitute, was charging towards them.
"Good!"
boom!
Kimmich and Hao Ren bumped into each other: "Nice, good!!!"
"Ha ha!"
Kimmich kissed Hao Ren's hair, and just as he was about to hug Hao Ren again, the latter cried out anxiously, "Wait, wait, wait!"
"Chicken Bro!"
Kimmich stepped back, giving Hao Ren some space.
Immediately afterward, amidst cheers from the crowd, the Leipzig midfielder sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Be of Water!
"A calm mind is like still water"—that's what Mr. Goodman wanted to say after completing his hat trick!
"6
""
Rangnick raised an eyebrow and turned to make eye contact with Almas.
Almas, who had been laughing, immediately adopted a serious expression upon seeing Rangnick's stern face: "Yes, it's time to teach that kid a lesson. We can't let him keep doing that!"
"—That action had nothing to do with me."
Rangnick corrected Almas's mistake.
He needs to emphasize again that Hao Ren's "calm mind" is not specifically designed for himself, but rather an action that can be used at any appropriate time.
Leipzig players knelt down next to Hao Ren, and Poulsen rubbed the hat-trick winner's head. Kimmich glanced at Rangnick first, and after confirming that the latter didn't mind, he did the same.
"okok!"
Hao Ren stood up from the ground; the stands were filled with almost frenzied Leipzig fans.
"Goodman!"
"Goodman, God!"
Hao Ren slowly walked down to the stands where Lucas and Otto were. Upon seeing him, Otto promptly clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Goodman, the great hat-trick master, praise you!"
Hao Ren pressed his right hand down and told his fans, "Keep your voices down, there's no need for that, it's all very basic stuff."
Wow!!!
"Goodman!"
Hao Ren's "humble remarks" reignited the passion of the away team's stands.
The fans inside couldn't tell anymore! They couldn't tell if it was Heidenheim's home ground or RB Leipzig's home ground!
"RB!"
Boom!
"RB!"
Bang bang bang!
'
'
"Beep, whoosh—!!!"
The match ended with Hao Ren completing a hat-trick and Rebic also scoring a goal, making the final score 5-1.
RB Leipzig delivered a perfect performance in their final match of March!

"Wow, Goode, that's a hat trick!"
Paulsen put his arm around Hao Ren's shoulder. Even though the surrounding space was open, the two of them kept jostling each other as they walked, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, giving the impression that they were unsteady on their feet.
"Ha ha!"
Hao Ren took a step forward, turned around and stood in front of Paulsen, clasping his hands together: "Thank you, respected captain."
'
"Oh! What else is there to say!"
Paulsen waved his hand, but his face was already beaming with joy: "That's your skill, Mr. Goodman!"
"That's the captain's skill too!"
"Haha! Okay, fine, I can't help it if you say so!"
Just as Poulsen and Hao Ren were bragging to each other, Kimmich suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked his respected master a thought-provoking question.
"Good, you've already scored a hat-trick, can you still be considered a defensive midfielder?"
"nonsense!"
Hao Ren patted Kimmich on the back, expressing his criticism: "Kimmich, you obviously haven't been training properly. Ralf already said the position is ambiguous, so isn't it normal for me to score more penalties?"
"No way, that hat trick is way too much!"
Kimmich's eyes widened: "A hat-trick in the defensive midfield position?! That's impossible!"
"Can I then be a regular defensive midfielder?"
"Oh!"
Kimmich's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized what he had done, quickly apologizing to Hao Ren: "I've seriously studied this!"
Back in the locker room, the Leipzig players jumped around shirtless, celebrating their first hat-trick of the season.
A hat-trick from a defensive midfielder, 200% impressive!
"Goodman, do you have the ball?"
"What?"
Did you ask the referee for the match ball?
Rebic suddenly remembered something and asked the question.
According to convention, a player who completes a hat-trick in an official match can ask the referee for the match ball, which is a souvenir for the hat-trick scorer.
"hiss----"
Hao Ren took a deep breath, his breathing instantly becoming rapid: "Mr. Goodman has miscalculated!"
"Ha ha!"
Rebic shoved Hao Ren.
Just then, Rangnick led Almas back to the locker room, the Leipzig coach holding an Adidas football covered in grass clippings.
"Mr. Goodman is quite busy and forgets things easily. So I brought this for Mr. Goodman."
Rangnick slowly walked up to Hao Ren: "Here, Mr. Goodman, this is yours."
Wow!
Rangnick's words contained a hint of joking from Hao Ren, but his help was indeed genuine.
Hao Ren received his match ball, and taking advantage of the good atmosphere in the locker room, Rangnick raised his right fist and gave his post-match remarks: "We beat Heidenheim! Next month, and the month after that, we'll keep going!"
"We don't have any goals, only a mission! To defeat every opponent we encounter, that's our mission! That's Leipzig!"
"Wow!!"
Snap snap snap snap snap snap snap snap!
Leipzig!
"go ahead!"
Dongqiudi Match Report: RB Leipzig defeated Heidenheim 5-1 away from home, suffering only one defeat in all competitions in March. Hao Ren scored his first career hat-trick.
ESPN interviewed RB Leipzig midfielder Joshua Kimmich: Goodman's hat-trick was logical; he perfectly embodied Rangnick's "positional ambiguity" philosophy.
The Sun reports from Germany: A hat-trick and away MVP award earned Goodman over €24,000 in bonuses from the match against Heidenheim, the highest in the 2. Bundesliga this season.
Mr. Goodman, please, stop making money!
[Hilarious! Hao Ren didn't even earn as much as a few viewers in the live stream. Those guys who started betting heavily on Hao Ren last year are geniuses.]
Honestly, anyone who's a Hao Ren fan but can't make money betting on him is problematic. Pretending to be a Hao Ren fan while secretly supporting other teams—those people deserve to lose!
[14-year-old mid-laner wants to go pro: What does that mean? Earning more than Mr. Goodman? How is that possible?]
While everyone on the forum was passionately discussing Hao Ren's salary and bonuses, Hao Ren himself suddenly appeared, making the post even more lively.
[Mr. Goodman! Hao is awesome!]
[One reply to the 14-year-old mid-laner who wants to go pro: Yes, a few guys have been betting on you to win, and they've made a lot of money.]
[14-year-old mid-laner wants to go pro: How is that possible? Remember to convert it! My 2.4 is in Euros, which is almost 20 after conversion.]
[—Reply to 14-year-old mid-laner who wants to go pro: Yeah, he definitely earns more than you. I even have screenshots, I'll send them to you. (.jpg)]
[14-year-old mid-laner wants to go pro: lol]
Upon learning that some fans were making more money than him by betting on matches, Hao Ren became anxious and left the Baidu Tieba account after posting a single "grass" comment.
【Wait, why did they take my Hao Qiuwang away?】
[Hahaha, after all that effort, it turns out I'm just working for the fans. Mr. Goodman is getting impatient.]
[When it comes to loyalty and righteousness, Hao Qiuwang (Hao Qiuwang) earns money for his brothers and suffers hardship in secret. I was moved to tears when I learned the truth.]
"Mr. Goodman, you seem a little angry."
Hao Ren's apartment welcomed two guests, Lucas and Otto.
The two were not old, but they were Mr. Goodman's chief disciples.
"I do not understand."
Hao Ren waved his hand dismissively: "Did you know that some fans made 40—yes, over 6 euros—by betting on Leipzig to win! Wow, Mr. Goodman doesn't even earn that much in a month! I'm so envious!"
Otto held the hot milk in both hands to warm them up: "Doesn't this perfectly demonstrate your greatness? Helping the fans through playing football is something many legendary players couldn't do, but you did."
"Yeah yeah."
Lucas chimed in, "Mr. Goodman gets rich first, and then your fans get rich too—that's fantastic!"
"Um----
Hao Ren squinted.
Upon careful consideration, what Lucas and Otto said made a lot of sense.
"Otto, you're absolutely right. Mr. Goodman doesn't care!"
Hao Ren leaned back on the sofa and sighed, as if he had figured everything out.
"Yes. Mr. Goodman should be focusing on next month's match; you're playing Wolfsburg. And you're aiming to win the league title early."
"That's right."
Hao Ren was incredibly excited at the thought of facing Wolfsburg from the Bundesliga next month.
Lucas leaned closer: "Mr. Goodman, do you think you can take down Wolfsburg? They seem pretty strong."
Hao Ren remained silent, only looking up at the ceiling, hesitating for quite some time.
"It's tough. We beat Leverkusen this month, and Wolfsburg should have started studying us. But I'll keep trying."
Hao Ren clenched his fists, seemingly ready to fight Wolfsburg to the death.
As a second-division team, if they are following the conventional path, then avoiding strong Bundesliga teams and developing slowly is obviously the right thing to do.
But Hao Ren wasn't following any conventional path.
Several months ago, Hao Ren chose the Statue of Valor from the system shop and officially embarked on an unconventional development path.
Everyone's playing the non-mainstream game, so why bother avoiding it?
What Leverkusen, what Wolfsburg —
All of you, die!
Hao Ren suddenly stood up, and in Lucas and Otto's eyes, Hao Ren's pupils were burning with flames.
This is an extreme expression of anger and determination!
"Otto".
"Mr. Goodman, Otto is here! What are your orders?"
"Didn't you give me a copy of 'The Insect World' before? The one used to study complete metamorphosis?"
Hao Ren picked up "The Insect World" from the sofa and handed it to Otto: "I have limited time and can't read the whole book. Could you summarize the contents for me, um, about the theory of complete metamorphosis?"
After hearing Hao Ren's story, Otto's eyes lit up: "It's my honor, esteemed sir!"
Sky Germany — With a comfortable three-game winning streak in the league, RB Leipzig is trying to widen the gap further, and winning the title in April may be inevitable.
Appendix: 2014-15 2. Bundesliga standings (after Round 26):
1. RB Leipzig, 60 points. (Promotion zone)
2. Ingolstadt, 50 points. (Promotion zone)
3. Darmstadt 98, 47 points.
4. Kaiserslautern, 47 points.
5. Karlsruhe, 45 points.
As the season enters its final stages, the situation in the 2. Bundesliga standings is changing rapidly.
RB Leipzig initially led Ingolstadt by only 1 or 2 points, but this gradually increased to 8 points, and by the end of the 26th round, Leipzig's advantage had exceeded double digits.
Considering that the 2. Bundesliga has a total of 34 rounds, the host of Sky Germany radio made a bold prediction: Leipzig will secure the 2. Bundesliga title in April!
This prediction is really bold, because it means that Leipzig would need to be 13 points ahead of second place after the 30th round of matches!
However, this prediction also reveals something: the media is extremely optimistic about Leipzig, to the point of being obsessed!
Leipzig base.
boom!
Hao Ren intercepted the corner kick kicked by Kimmich and opened the scoring for Team B with a header.
[Heading: 64→65]
This improvement in stats has nothing to do with the template; it's purely due to Hao Ren's own efforts!
After training, Anthony Jung invited Hao Ren and Kimmich: "Good, Joshua, wanna go for drinks tonight?"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Want to drink? I'll pass."
To his surprise, Hao Ren refused. "Why aren't you going?" Kimmich asked.
"It's not convenient tonight, my agent needs to talk to me."
As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, Anthony-Jung and Kimmich immediately put the drinking incident out of their minds and pressed Hao Ren for an answer.
The two men had a very keen sense of smell, and they picked up on something from Hao Ren's words!
"Were you talking about transfers?"
"That should be true."
When asked by his teammates, Hao Ren didn't try to hide anything.
Last Friday night, Lü Qi said in a phone call that he wanted to meet with me to discuss things about next season.
Agents and players gathered to discuss next season, with transfers being the most likely scenario.
Kimmich tilted his head, his tone slightly nervous: "Where are you planning to go?"
"What do you mean I'm going somewhere? Come on! I don't know anything about it. I only know that my manager is coming to find me. How am I supposed to know where I'm going?"
Anthony Jung patted Kimmich on the shoulder: "He might be transferring to Wolfsburg, you know, if he transfers now, he'll be our opponent next month."
"Oh! Haha!"
Kimmich and Anthony Jung were clearly joking with Hao Ren, since now is not the time for a transfer.
"Please don't mess around, okay? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Hao Ren's tone revealed disdain: "You have no idea how loyal Mr. Goodman is!"
"Haha, okay, Goode, I misunderstood you. So—what would you do if Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich wanted you?"
[”
Hao Ren's expression froze: "This, this—I don't know. But the probability is too small."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll let you know if I have any news, I'm not kidding, really."
To avoid further complications, Hao Ren and Kimmich said goodbye and quickly ran to the locker room.
In the evening, at a local Chinese restaurant in Leipzig.
Lu Qi ordered a "Family Reunion" dumpling for Hao Ren, but the latter had already eaten it before coming.
-
The two stared blankly at the dumplings on the plate for a while before Lü Qi finally spoke.
"I had some conversations with Dortmund's agent last month, and it was about you."
