Chapter 6 Upgrade: Ball Shaft

Su Dong did not dwell too much on the matter; he quickly noticed that his potential had indeed improved significantly compared to the last upgrade

The offensive techniques are quite good, but the defensive capabilities are relatively weak

Is it just because the character "于" has one more hook than the character "干"?

Additionally, there is the Swift Elixir, which temporarily enhances speed and explosiveness, lasting for two hours

Upon the initial launch of the mall system, you will receive a star player ability card as a reward, which can be redeemed within the mall.

Jose Semedo has indeed visited a few times, but unlike Ronny, it is evident that he has a good character and is a very nice person, though a bit lazy, as he is always the one to call for a stop during practice with Su Dong

Only after receiving a positive response did the other party inform him of the date and time of the assessment

These simple, monotonous yet fulfilling days continued until mid-August

For example, there is a Titan Elixir that can temporarily enhance the user's strength, lasting for two hours

Here, there is no product that cannot be exchanged for the value of the king of football

It is evident that these are disposable medications that can be used in the competition, and they appear to be very effective, although somewhat expensive

This is also understandable, as this is how professional football is.

Upon entering the mall, a dazzling array of exquisite goods immediately caught Su Dong's eye, leaving him overwhelmed and unable to take it all in.

However, this sense of absurdity was soon dispelled by the information from the system

He first went to check his personal attributes

In the following week, Su Dong did not see Ronnie again

Except for the previous few days, Su Dong has been training at Edward VII Park and has not reported to the club, to the extent that when the club's coach called to notify him, he even asked whether he was still in Portugal

After reviewing the upgraded personal attributes, Su Dong is quite satisfied with them

Once the product is exchanged, it is not covered by warranty and returns without reason within seven days are not accepted

Looking at the numerous rules, Su Dong could only manage a bitter smile

For example, if he wants to become an offensive player, then the defensive attributes can be appropriately set aside

For example, Ronnie, he is actually very well-rounded, and his defensive abilities are also strong; however, relatively speaking, his offensive skills are more prominent

Over the past month or so, he has trained almost day and night, achieving significant results

This is also related to Ronny's absence over the past week. If the one-on-one competition continues, he believes that his defensive attributes can improve rapidly, as Pontus's training also includes defensive elements.

Moreover, the food and beverages in the mall appear to be very appetizing

... ...

There is also José Semedo, who is a strong and robust center-back. In fact, his speed, technique, dribbling, and scoring ability are all quite impressive, and Su Dong simply cannot stop him

He still goes to Edward VII Park every day to train, meticulously following Pontus's training regimen without daring to show the slightest negligence, but without Ronny by his side, he always feels that something is missing

Now Su Dong has upgraded to the third level of the ball handle, which is generally equivalent to a semi-professional level player. His various abilities are also being further refined, which gives him a premonition that in the future, he will definitely not be able to train all attributes to the maximum as he did before. He will need to make some trade-offs, which means choosing a personal career development direction

The black and white soccer ball slowly rotated for a while, and only then did it remind once again

However, once he clearly understood the product description, he realized he had stumbled upon a treasure

There is a coach named Pontus who has tailored a training plan specifically for me. I also met a friend named Ronny; you should remember this name. He is a genius and one of the best young players in Portugal, and he will surely astonish the whole world in the future.

The system provides an explanation after each attribute

Sporting CP is about to welcome the new season of the Portuguese Second Division, and the youth team will also have its own league responsibilities, while the training period for Su Dong has come to an end

Steals: 31 [52]; Man-to-man defense: 27 [48]; Team collaboration: 21 [42]; Defensive positioning: 23 [45]

As the levels increase, the mall will gradually unlock more affordable and high-quality magical potions and items, so please stay tuned

Upon seeing this, Su Dong suddenly felt a sense of absurdity arise within him

It is evident that after each upgrade, individual attributes are further subdividing the various abilities of the players

After upgrading from the ball to the ball handle, the personal attribute panel has also been upgraded once again, resulting in significant changes

This made the football king, Su Dong, who was enjoying himself immensely, feel quite uncomfortable inside

Regarding speed and explosiveness, the former refers to the maximum speed that a player can achieve, while explosiveness refers to the time required for a player to accelerate from a standstill to their maximum speed. The stronger the explosiveness of a player, the faster their acceleration will be

He has a premonition that if he fully taps into all his current potential, he should be able to reach a level slightly above the average among semi-professional players, comparable to the main players of the first team of Sporting CP.

After hanging up the phone, he sat at the head of the bed, gazing at the bright and luminous moon outside the window, feeling a sense of homesickness

In addition to food and beverages, the mall also sells various potions, which are significantly more expensive than food, but their effects are truly remarkable

The upgraded strength and potential values clearly indicate that the values prior to the upgrade indeed affected the values after the upgrade

Entering the system of the King of Football, I looked at the personal attributes panel

His current skills in technology, shooting, and speed have all reached a maximum value of 99, while his strength is slightly lower at 87. However, his defensive attributes are the weakest, with positioning only at 63 and tackling at 71

It is still divided into three main categories: offense, defense, and physicality

Certainly, regarding José Semedo, Su Dong is still grateful

Why

This is a full five times more than before the upgrade

When Su Dong realized this point, he secretly rejoiced that he had not rushed to upgrade earlier, but had instead solidified the foundation step by step. Looking back now, it was undoubtedly a very wise choice

The individuals responsible for setting up the mall are indeed quite peculiar, and the rules they have established are excessively stringent

There are many different flavors of food, Chinese cuisine features grainy rice, Western cuisine offers tomahawk steak, Korean cuisine includes Popeye eating kimchi, and Japanese cuisine presents Chibi Maruko-chan ... ...

How are these named

Following the third levels of Qiú T, Qiú Shàng, and Qiú Gàn, the fourth level is Qiú Yú

If there is one, it must be that your King of Balls value is insufficient or your level is not high enough

Regarding food, his requirements are not high; it is sufficient as long as it can fill his stomach

In Portugal, all daily expenses are to be borne by him, as these are the hard-earned money of his parents. Now that he can redeem from the mall, he will certainly not refuse

Speed: 51 [73]; Explosiveness: 46 [71]; Strength: 37 [50]; Endurance: 44 [69]

This made him feel very uncomfortable

The mall system has been activated, and you can redeem products at any time

All items sold in this mall are clearly priced, with no discounts or haggling allowed

It can be seen that the characteristics of professional athletes are built on a comprehensive foundation

Current level: Ball Dry, Next level: Ball Yu, Upgrade requires a consumption of 250,000 Ball King points

Passing: 38 [57]; Ball Control: 43 [60]; Dribbling: 45 [61]; Shooting: 47 [64]

Su Dong glanced over the prices, which were all quite reasonable and well within his spending range

Although individual efforts are present in defense, it primarily relies on the collective, making teamwork and defensive positioning crucial

And his advantage is that he is only sixteen years old

Regarding this unreliable semi-professional team, Su Dong also feels quite helpless

However, beneath the personal attributes panel, the system also provided a reminder that from now on, in order to upgrade further, all attributes must meet the required standards

The most obvious point is that the number of attribute items has increased significantly

There is no need to elaborate on offensive attributes; possession and control combined with shooting are fundamental skills in football, thus they are easily understood

Is it still considered good value for money when each type of potion is priced at 10,000 points?

good quality at a reasonable price

The setting of the Road to the King of Football undoubtedly stems from this consideration

As a plain and tedious character, Su Dong's original plan was to level up only after training all attributes to a maximum of 99. However, it seems that time does not permit this, and he can only upgrade in advance

His speed is indeed quite good, and his endurance is also acceptable, but his strength is relatively poor, which is related to his lack of strength training

On the night before the assessment, Su Dong made a phone call to his parents back in the country, but he did not tell them the truth. Instead, he told them that he was doing very well there and that his abilities had improved significantly

He is the only son in the family, and from a young age, he has borne the earnest expectations of his parents. They always reserved the best for him, and he does not wish to disappoint them, hoping to bring them pride and honor

In the category of daily necessities, the mall offers a variety of flavors of the Man Niu sports drink, with the following slogan: Its energy exceeds your imagination

Upgrading, please wait...

Current Level: Ball 1, Next Level: Ball 2, Upgrade requires 50,000 Ball King Points, Do you want to upgrade?

It is worth mentioning that after the upgrade, each increase of one potential point requires the consumption of 500 King of Balls points

A series of messages came in, leaving Su Dong somewhat at a loss.

... ...

Su Dong chose "Yes"

In summary, a variety of delicious foods can be exchanged for King of Balls points in the mall

Successfully upgraded to the ball management system and smoothly launched the mall system

There is also an energy elixir that can temporarily enhance the user's endurance, lasting for two hours

After further segmentation, the characteristics of the Soviet Union gradually emerged

After a bitter smile, Su Dong quickly remembered that after upgrading to the ball stick, the system opened the mall and rewarded him with a star player ability card. What is this?

Su Dong, on the phone, tried to speak only of good things, as he did not want his parents to worry too much about him

Offensive attributes have been further subdivided into passing, receiving, dribbling, and shooting; defensive attributes have also been divided into four categories, namely tackling, marking, teamwork, and defensive positioning; physical attributes follow the same pattern, with speed categorized into speed and explosiveness, and strength divided into strength and endurance

Congratulations, the upgrade was successful

After reviewing the personal attributes, Su Dong entered the mall system that was unlocked after the upgrade

My abilities are still insufficient, and I need to put in more effort. Even if I do not pass the assessment, I hope to try out for other teams and strive to be able to stay.
