The system Su Luo anticipated never materialized; instead, he found himself with a peculiar form of assistance that bordered on cheating. Through Su Luo's exploration, he discerned three functions of this "cheat."
Firstly, the training ground he had encountered before. It generated a mirrored version of Ronaldo, allowing him to learn various techniques like passing, dribbling, and shooting. Additionally, it could replicate his teammates from past teams, facilitating practice matches in the illusion to avoid being mercilessly thrashed by Da Luo.
After securing the runner-up position in the World Youth Championship, Su Luo glimpsed a faint figure next to Da Luo. It hinted at the summoning of a second star in the future, potentially at Ronaldo's caliber, which excited Su Luo immensely. Having legendary stars as mentors would undoubtedly elevate his game.
Secondly, in official competitions, Da Luo could be "possessed." While possessed, Su Luo could achieve peak performance, akin to the legendary Luo. However, this state was fleeting, lasting no more than 10 minutes. It remained uncertain if this duration could be extended, but even a brief possession by Da Luo would make Su Luo a force to be reckoned with in top-tier leagues.
Furthermore, other stars could also possess him, presenting an intriguing possibility for Su Luo's gameplay.
The third function was the most esoteric. Even when not possessed, if Su Luo concentrated enough, he could enter a state of ecstasy where the next shot was guaranteed to score. This phenomenon baffled Su Luo—it was akin to a weapon of causality. Regardless of the circumstances—distance, angle, defenders, or even an obstructed goal—the ball would find the net without fail. It was a proper metaphysical shot, defying conventional laws.
However, maintaining this metaphysical state was challenging amidst the chaos and intensity of a match. It was a passive skill, triggered under specific conditions:
The more emotionally charged the game, the easier it was to trigger.
Each unsuccessful shot seemed to stack a buff, making it easier to trigger the metaphysical state. Su Luo estimated that after five failed attempts, the sixth shot would undoubtedly trigger the passive, although two or three times could also suffice.
The closer the game was to its conclusion or the wider the goal gap, the easier it was to trigger the metaphysical state.
With these "Cheat Instructions" in mind, Su Luo found the system cumbersome at first, but once he understood its rules, it proved quite convenient. Training, possession, and passive—simple as that.
Before joining his new club, Su Luo was already envisioning his future.
"Wake up, Su, we're almost there."
"Huh?"
Awakening from his reverie, Su Luo peered out the window and was instantly captivated by the scenery outside the train.
As the train traversed Berlin's bustling city center, he was struck by the stark contrast between the modern skyscrapers and the desolate remnants of the Berlin Wall. This visual juxtaposition encapsulated the divide between former West and East Germany.
"What... is this place?" Su Luo queried in broken German.
Observing Su Luo's confusion, scout Daniel switched to Chinese to clarify:
"That landmark you just passed is the Berlin Wall. The area we're in now is former East Germany, the democratic sector."
Having studied high school history, Su Luo was familiar with the Berlin Wall's significance post-World War II. Yet, witnessing it firsthand was a profound experience.
Their destination, Union Club Berlin (FC_Union_Berlin), represented the democratic spirit of East Germany and the working class. Su Luo was moved by the historical resonance of the place.
As the vehicle approached the station, Daniel rose to retrieve Su Luo's heavy suitcase from the rack. For the first time, Su Luo saw a smile grace Daniel's face.
"Welcome to Berlin, welcome to the world of the workers..."
