Soccer: If they're using these kinds of cheats, what's the point of training?

Upon closer inspection, he understood the principle behind it. It turned out that the overall rating of a striker was determined by averaging four factors: shooting, positioning, heading, and physical attributes.

Although his shooting score is 70, his positioning score is only 56, his heading score is only 54, and his physique score is only 63 (this physique refers to the striker's ability to stand strong and physically challenge opponents).

Similarly, a winger's overall ability is a combination of speed and explosiveness, dribbling, crossing and cutting inside to shoot, and defense. However, his dribbling is only 58, passing and receiving is only 57, and defense is only 43, which are all factors that drag him down.

Needless to say, the attacking midfielder is expected to excel in five areas: passing and receiving, vision, ball control and protection, shooting and late runs (positioning), and defense. Therefore, his performance was even more lackluster.

Numerically speaking, he is currently best suited to play as a striker, especially since his overall striker rating is 60.74, complete with a decimal point.

What level is 60.74? Just look at this ratio and you'll understand.

Top five leagues: Starters 75-85, substitutes 70-80

Second Division: Starters 65-75, Substitutes 60-70

Third-tier league: Starting players 55-65, substitutes 50-60

Fourth-tier league: Starting players 50-60, substitutes 40-50

In other words, he possesses the level of a starting striker in the Chinese Super League, as well as the level of a substitute player in the English First Division, German Second Division, Spanish Second Division, Italian Second Division, and French Second Division.

Not bad at all, not terrible. Entering the U20 is definitely a high level, no wonder he attracts jealousy and is targeted everywhere.

That's about half of the football system. There's a "Rate..." section, but it's missing.

Of course, there's also a newbie gift pack. Zhang Kuang quickly opened it with his mind:

[Heaven Rewards Diligence - King of Football System] New Player Gift Pack:

Reward 1: One Legendary Card [Cristiano Ronaldo Heading Skill Card] (Requires a minimum overall Heading skill rating of 80 to unlock)

Introduction: Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest header in football history, having scored over 146 headers in his career, making him the player with the most header goals in football history. Obtaining the card does not equate to possessing Ronaldo's peak header ability.

This is like buying "Qian Xuesen - Engineering Cybernetics". You only gain the direction and knowledge for learning, which means you have the awareness of Ronaldo's heading essence. You still need to practice diligently and meet the skill requirements in the skill card in order to obtain Ronaldo's heading ability.

Reward 2: 100 skill points.

Reward 3: Fluency in the languages ​​of the top five European football leagues.

……

That's all?

The Ronaldo header card is pretty cool, but it's like being given a set of junior high school textbooks when you enter junior high school; whether you can learn well still depends on your usual efforts.

This kind of reward... doesn't have the same thrill as cheating, it's boring.

The second reward, 100 skill points, should be useful. Maybe it can max out his striker stats? Probably not that easy. I'll look into it later.

The third reward is the most practical of the three: fluency in five languages. This saves him a lot of money, and it will be good for him when he joins the team, since being able to communicate in different languages ​​is essential for getting along well with teammates and the coaching staff.

If a striker doesn't get along with his teammates, they won't provide assists. Some attacking midfielders or wingers will treat the striker as someone who stretches the opponent's defense and makes him do the dirty work, while you are responsible for the final pass. The goal is scored by the winger or attacking midfielder.

Yes, Benzema is the best person to speak on this point, having played that role at Real Madrid for many years. It wasn't until Ronaldo left Real Madrid that Benzema had a chance to shine.

It must have been tough for a striker of Ballon d'Or caliber to play so many supporting roles and wingmen.

Therefore, Zhang Kuang understands how important it is for a striker to have a good relationship with his teammates, and this language is quite effective.

Forget about that, let's quickly check out the other half of the system—the cultivation system! Wow, who wouldn't drool over that? What's more attractive than women, wealth, and so on? Becoming an immortal!

This "Dual Cultivation to Immortality System" has a lot of words in its "Introduction" section, and writing it all out would probably be considered padding.

He briefly introduced his sect as the Hehuan Sect, a righteous sect, and advised all its members to adhere to the principles of righteousness and not to use the special characteristics of the cultivation method for evil purposes.

Then, it explained how to cultivate. It involves obtaining Qi and Blood Points through dual cultivation, and then adding those points to your cultivation. However, simply adding points isn't enough; you also need "Upgrade Cards." What exactly are these "Upgrade Cards"?

Huh? The following details how to obtain Qi and Blood Points: Dual cultivation with a furnace/cauldron, and a furnace/cauldron can only obtain 3 Qi and Blood Points per day? Is this to protect the furnace/cauldron's body? To prevent the furnace/cauldron from dying from depletion of its body? This really is the 'Righteous Path Joyful Union Sect'.

Are there limits on the number of Qi and Blood Points a cultivator can absorb each day at different stages of Qi cultivation: before, during, after, and at the peak? In the early stages of Qi cultivation (levels one, two, and three), a cultivator can absorb a maximum of nine Qi and Blood Points per day.

No, there's a suturing issue here. There's another way to obtain Qi and Blood points:

-

You can earn Health Points by scoring a goal or providing an assist. In the top tier league (the top five leagues), you can earn 1 Health Point for a goal and 0.5 Health Points for an assist.

Goals or assists in leagues above the top tier (Champions League, European Championship, World Cup) grant double health points.

Below the first-tier league, the corresponding health points are halved for each tier of relegation. For example, in the second-tier league, a goal earns 0.5 health points and an assist earns 0.25 health points, while in the third-tier league, a goal earns 0.25 health points and an assist earns 0.125 health points...

MVP Reward for a Single Match: 2 Health Points for players in Tier 1 League, and 2 for those above that, and 2 for those below that.

Annual MVP = 2 Health Points from the first-tier league × Annual match schedule (e.g., 38 rounds) = 76 points. For other leagues, refer to the single-match MVP calculation method.

Other awards do not grant any Qi and Blood Points.

-

Wow! These two systems are stitched together quite tightly.

Let's take a closer look at what this so-called "upgrade card" is all about.

-

(See the end of the article for upgrade card details)

-

After reading the description of the upgrade card's function, Zhang Kuang was in a real predicament. It was because he had to use the upgrade card to advance in his cultivation realm each time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to level up.

The way to obtain this upgrade card is to win the Golden Boot and the championship. In other words, if he wants to improve his cultivation level, he has to work hard to score goals and win championships.

The key point is that every time he upgrades, in addition to using upgrade cards, he also needs to use corresponding health points. Upgrading requires a huge amount of health points, and adding some football skills also requires health points.

Damn, how many Qi and Blood Points does he need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage? I can't even do mental arithmetic, I have to use a calculator.

So all he does all day, besides eating and sleeping, is non-stop? Who could stand that?

"Damn, isn't this forcing me to not only have to cultivate with girls every day, but also desperately score goals, win the Golden Boot, MVP, and championship?"

Good heavens, I'm a transmigrator with cheat codes! I can just sleep with girls every day, why do I need to play football and win championships? How many years will it take to upgrade to Foundation Establishment?

Roughly estimating, it'll probably take at least ten years to establish a foundation. What kind of system is this? Is this what you call a cheat code? Those transmigrators without systems would have successfully established their foundations in ten years, right?

Those transmigrators with cheat codes can reach Foundation Establishment in a year, Golden Core in three years, Nascent Soul in five years, Ascend to Immortality in ten years, and become Immortal Emperor in a hundred years. Seriously? You're making me wait ten or eight years to even reach Foundation Establishment? What kind of immortality is this?!

This is outrageous! Zhang Kuang was furious, but also helpless. What could he do?

"Tongzi, can we start over? Wear it again?"

"Child? Father? Grandfather? Ancestor? Aba? Husband... Damn it, ptooey, it's hopeless."

Zhang Kuang looked at the system again, and there wasn't much left. It was just a shop function. He glanced at it and saw that it was full of football-related and cultivation-related skills and techniques, as well as weapons and items, all of which required Qi and Blood Points to purchase.

I won't go into details here...

Oh, and there's also a newbie gift pack for the [Dual Cultivation to Immortality System]. Open it, open it, and get all the loot!

—————The following is purely introductory content——

The host needs an upgrade card for each upgrade.

A minor breakthrough within a realm (breaking through from the initial stage of Qi Refining Level 1 to the intermediate stage) requires one upgrade card, while upgrading a realm (such as upgrading from Qi Refining Level 1 to Qi Refining Level 2) requires two upgrade cards.

In addition to the need for upgrade cards, each minor breakthrough within a realm also requires the deduction of 1000 health points.

(Note: Upgrade cards are like keys to open doors, while deducting health points is like needing strength to open a door. Pushing open a door that crosses boundaries requires a corresponding number of health points.)

Upgrading to a minor realm requires 2000 Qi and Blood Points, while upgrading to a middle realm requires 4000 Qi and Blood Points.

The Qi Refining stage has four realms: early, middle, late, and perfect. With each advancement in a realm, the corresponding increase in Qi and Blood Points and upgrade cards is doubled.

Example:

To upgrade from the initial stage of Qi Refining Level 1, 2, or 3 to the intermediate stage (e.g., breaking through from the initial stage of Qi Refining Level 1 to the intermediate stage of Qi Refining Level 1), you need 1000 Qi and Blood Points + 1 upgrade card.

Upgrading from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level requires 2000 Qi and Blood Points + 2 upgrade cards. Similarly, breaking through from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level also requires an additional 2000 Qi and Blood Points + 2 upgrade cards.

Upgrading from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage requires 4000 Qi and Blood Points + 4 upgrade cards, for example, breaking through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.

To advance from the initial stage of the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of the Qi Refining stage to the intermediate stage, you need 2000 Qi and Blood Points + 2 upgrade cards.

Upgrading from the mid-stage to the late-stage Qi Refining requires 8000 Qi and Blood Points + 16 upgrade cards, for example, upgrading from Qi Refining level 6 to Qi Refining level 7.

Each minor breakthrough within the later stages of Qi Refining (levels 7, 8, and 9) requires 4000 Qi and Blood Points + 4 Upgrade Cards.

To upgrade from the late stage (ninth level) of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, you need 16000 Qi and Blood Points + 32 upgrade cards.

Each breakthrough from the initial stage of Qi Refining to the intermediate stage, from the intermediate stage to the advanced stage, and from the advanced stage to the perfect stage requires 8000 Qi and Blood Points + 8 upgrade cards.

To upgrade from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, you need 32000 Qi and Blood Points + 64 upgrade cards.

The Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages are separate matters; the required Qi and Blood Points and upgrade cards may be insufficient to support this plane!

How to obtain upgrade cards:

Two Golden Boots and four Champions in the top five European leagues (half the prizes for the Football Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, etc.).

Golden Boot winner (1) and Champion (2) in the second-tier leagues (2nd Bundesliga, 2nd Serie B, 2nd Ligue 2, 2nd Segunda División, Championship).

The Golden Boot winner and champion's promotion card in the top league will be halved again, and so on.

Champions League Golden Boot x4, Champions League title x8, Club World Cup Golden Boot x4, Champions League title x8.

Golden Boot winner (2 times) and Champion (2 times) in other continental competitions such as the AFC Champions League and Copa Libertadores.

World Cup Golden Boot winners: 8; Champions: 16.

The annual MVP upgrade card equals the corresponding league's Golden Boot.

Golden Boy Award x8, Ballon d'Or x16. Continental Ballon d'Or awards are halved.

Cristiano Ronaldo's most distinctive heading abilities are: 1. Unparalleled positioning, always finding the perfect spot for a header. 2. A tomahawk header (powerful and fast). 3. A powerful, explosive header (overpowering all opponents). 4. A header that looks back at the moon (unexpected). 5. A powerful, swift header (fierce and fast). 5. A header that hovers in the air (longest hang time, up to 0.92 seconds).

Therefore, Ronaldo's mental skills card also adds points to these 5 aspects.
