Chapter 3 Have you ever seen Lisbon at 5 a.m.?
"King of Football Value: 25184."
When Su Dong saw this number, he became excited.
He actually has more than 20,000 points of King of Football Value. Ronnie, this god-level trainer, is truly extraordinary.
However, this also made Su Dong more curious.
How strong is this Ronnie?
Also, is he a professional player? Which team does he play for?
As the capital of Portugal, Lisbon has dozens of football clubs. Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, which are familiar to many people, are just the two most famous Portuguese Super League teams. Belerence is relatively inferior. There are also many Lisbon teams in the second, third and fourth level leagues.
For example, in the third-tier league where Sporting CP, where Sudong is located, plays, there are five or six Lisbon teams.
Which team does he play for?
If a young player whom I have never heard of is so good, how strong must the other professional players be?
How strong would a super genius like the rumored Ronaldinho and idol Ronaldo be?
For a moment, Su Dong's heart was full of admiration.
But at the same time, his determination to become stronger became even stronger.
…
With more than 20,000 points, the first thing Su Dong has to do is to upgrade.
"Current level: Ball 1, next level: Ball 2, upgrading requires 10,000 Ball King points, do you want to upgrade?"
Su Dong chose the [Yes] option without hesitation.
"Upgrading, please wait..."
A black and white football started to spin in my mind, obviously upgrading.
After a moment, when the football stopped spinning, Su Dong received a message.
"Congratulations, the upgrade was successful."
"Current level: Ball 1, next level: Ball 2, upgrading requires 50,000 Ball King points."
"Congratulations on your successful upgrade to the ball level. You have officially become an amateur player. The road to the ball king will automatically unlock the potential system."
Potential system?
Su Dong was a little surprised after seeing it. What was this thing?
When he entered the personal attribute interface, he immediately found the difference.
When he was at the ball level, the personal attribute interface was very shabby, with only three attributes: [Offense], [Defense] and [Physical]. At that time, they called it the integration of various attributes, but in fact they looked down on Su Dong, who was at the ball level.
After being upgraded to ball level, he officially entered the ranks of amateur players, and his personal attributes also received an upgrade.
The three major attributes are divided into two: the offensive attributes are divided into [Technique] and [Shooting], the defensive attributes are divided into [Positioning] and [Stealing], and the physical attributes are divided into [Speed] and [Strength].
Not only that, each attribute has two numbers, one is the current strength and the other is the potential value.
Su Dong carefully studied the system's attribute explanation, and slowly began to understand the rules of the potential system that had just been unlocked.
There is no need to say much about his current strength, that is the strength he possesses right now, and the potential value is also easy to understand, that is the strength he can achieve after tapping all his potential.
But there is a huge difference between the two. The strength value can only be improved by Su Dong's own hard training, but the potential value can be improved by injecting the king of football value.
To put it simply, after the potential system is opened, Su Dong can improve his potential by consuming the king of football points.
Of course, how much of his potential can be tapped after it is improved depends on Su Dong’s own hard work.
Another thing that made Su Dong feel depressed was that after the upgrade, his personal attributes actually declined significantly.
For example, in terms of offense, the offense before the upgrade was 33 points, but now it has been divided into two items, the technique is 15 points [potential value 29 points], and the shooting is 18 points [potential value 37 points].
Defense before the upgrade was 28 points, and after the upgrade it was divided into two items, positioning is 13 points [potential value 25 points], and steals are 15 points [potential value 31 points].
The physique before the upgrade is 29 points, the speed after the upgrade is 18 points [potential value 33 points], and the strength is 11 points [potential value 25 points].
Su Dong was basically convinced of the assessment of his own abilities and potential, except for his speed.
He is very aware of his advantages. He is not slow. Even in the youth training team of Sporting CP, his speed cannot be said to be the fastest among his peers, but at least it is above average.
But the speed here is only given 18 points, and the potential is 33 points, which is not even the passing line.
System-based evaluation will not go wrong. It can only be said that the speed here is not just about running, but also includes factors such as dribbling speed, movement frequency, body flexibility, etc.
That being said, it is indeed not wrong.
Then why did the evaluation of Su Dong's various abilities go down after he was promoted from ball level to ball level?
The system explains that the evaluation value is scored with reference to players of the same level.
That is to say, among all the amateur players in the world, the player with the best skills has a full value of 99 points, so Su Dong's skills can only be given 15 points, and the same goes for several other attributes.
The system also gives a special reminder that the ability value and potential value before the upgrade will affect the potential value evaluation after the upgrade, and as the level increases, the king value consumed to increase the potential value will also increase.
Seeing this, Su Dong understood the rules of the potential system.
Continuing to upgrade blindly will not do much to improve your own abilities, and may even have a counterproductive effect.
Instead, it is better to be down-to-earth, improve your strength and potential at every level, and then upgrade when the time is right. This is the most ideal upgrade path.
Thinking of this, Su Dong made a decision.
After the upgrade consumed 10,000 points of King of Football Value, he still had 15,184 points left.
Every time you increase your potential value, you will need to consume 100 points of King of Football value.
Therefore, Su Dong directly exchanged all his king of football points into 150 potential points, investing 40 points each in technology, shooting and speed, and then invested 30 points in strength.
As a striker, defense is useful to a certain extent, but it is not particularly necessary. On the contrary, attributes such as technology, shooting, speed and strength are the most important attributes of a striker and it is necessary to improve them as soon as possible.
After finishing all these, Su Dong's strength did not change much, but his potential value changed dramatically.
The potential value of technology reached 69 points, the potential value of shooting reached 77 points, the potential value of speed reached 73 points, and the potential value of strength also reached 55 points.
And this is only temporary.
Next, Su Dong will continue to practice hard.
On the one hand, accumulate more King of Football points to improve your potential value. On the other hand, slowly tap the potential value, convert it into current strength value, and then improve your strength.
Thinking of this, Su Dong became impatient.
He went outside the park, found a random place, ate something in a hurry, and then went back to the park to practice hard.
…
…
"You still here?"
When Su Dong was sweating profusely after training, Ronnie's voice sounded again behind him.
The Portuguese boy looked at Su Dong and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
Just for this kind of focus and dedication, this person is worthy of respect.
And from Su Dong, he seemed to see what he used to be like.
"Why are you here so late?" Su Dong stopped panting and looked at his peer. "I thought you were scared by me and didn't dare to come."
"Ha, are you kidding?" Ronnie couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Who is afraid of whom?
As he walked into the stadium, Ronnie noticed that there were several bottles of water and bread on the sidelines. It looked like this should be Su Dong's lunch and the dinner he had prepared. He couldn't help but admire him even more.
This guy is absolutely crazy!
Even crazier than he was back then.
Su Dong also noticed Ronnie's look and said with a provocative smile: "I have even bought your share, so you don't have any excuse to escape anymore. I will beat you until you surrender today."
Ronnie laughed playfully, "I think I should be the one saying this, right?"
His ability is not that great, but he is very arrogant.
"Then it depends on your ability."
Ronnie didn't say much, he just took off his clothes and left.
…
The two men fought again, causing sand and rocks to fly, until the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light.
When you are tired, you can rest on the sidelines. When you are thirsty, you can stop to drink water. When you are hungry, you can eat bread for dinner...
After upgrading to ball king level, the upper limit of ball king value that Su Dong can obtain in each match has increased to 200 points. This is undoubtedly a huge surprise because it represents faster efficiency.
This also made Su Dong more motivated.
I don’t know how long they played until they were both exhausted and lay on the field panting heavily.
"I haven't sweated so much in a long time. I enjoyed playing so much." Ronnie panted and smiled with great satisfaction.
Su Dong didn't pay much attention to it. He was more focused on looking at his own King of Football rank. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Playing against this guy is indeed the fastest way to accumulate King of Ball Points.
"Hey." Seeing him smiling slyly and not saying anything, Ronnie couldn't help but nudged him with his elbow, "Are you a student at the University of Lisbon?"
This is Eduardo VII Park, and several campuses of the University of Lisbon are located around it.
"No." Su Dong shook his head.
"Which team's player is that?" Ronnie asked curiously.
Su Dong's face darkened, he sighed with mixed emotions, and did not answer.
Ronnie looked at him and was secretly impressed. This was a man with a story.
However, since Su Dong didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask any further questions.
After all, the two had just met and only knew each other's names.
"After playing with you like this, I found that your technical moves are really not standard. Did you play street football before?" Ronnie pointed out a problem of Su Dong.
Su Dong nodded, then shook his head, "It's not street football, but it's almost the same. The youth training in my hometown is terrible."
"Would you like me to teach you a couple of moves?" Ronnie asked jokingly.
In his eyes, how could he accept someone as competitive as Su Dong?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Dong nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, it's a deal. Starting tomorrow, I will train with you, and you will be responsible for correcting my technical movements."
Ronnie was stunned, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, unless you are afraid that I will become stronger than you." Su Dong would not allow him to go back on his word.
"Are you kidding? Would I be afraid of you?" Ronnie also became excited.
"Then it's settled. See you here tomorrow morning."
"Okay, what time do you want?"
"Five in the morning."
Ronnie was stunned.
Seeing him being humiliated, Su Dong laughed triumphantly.
“Have you ever seen Lisbon at 5am?”
"I have seen."
