Heavy Cannon Specialist Module?!

First-team dormitory.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: Ballack's "Curved Heavy Cannon" Module!]

[He was a tragic hero, the soul of the tank, a lone warrior who fought against fate, the last lingering ember in the long night of German football's dark era!]

[Bundesliga runner-up!]

[German Cup runner-up!]

[Champions League runner-up!]

[World Cup runner-up!]

[UEFA European Championship runner-up!]

[Over the course of his career, he finished runner-up thirteen times!]

[Two years after his retirement, Germany lifted the World Cup! It entered its strongest era of the new century!]

Leo Kang: "..."

The golden chest emitted faint points of light.

They sank into his body.

An indescribable stabbing pain surged through the back of Leo Kang's head.

Scenes of cannon-like shots brimming with violent aesthetics flashed through his memories.

That manner of exerting force—overwhelming and unstoppable—

seemed to seep into Leo Kang's very bones.

A long while later.

He sat up from the sofa.

There were no changes whatsoever to the attributes on the system panel.

[Ding. As the Host's attributes increase, all skill modules will receive additional bonuses! It may even be possible to break through a skill's upper limit!]

So that was it.

Leo Kang wiped away his cold sweat with a towel.

Then he suddenly realized something.

The reward for a youth league match was already a gold-tier chest.

Wouldn't the reward for the first team be platinum? Could it yield even more powerful skill modules?

[The debut reward is a special mission reward!]

[Chest types are divided into: ordinary chests and legendary chests.]

[Chest rewards are ranked as follows:]

[Youth leagues and lower-tier leagues: bronze chests!]

[The five major leagues: gold chests!]

[Champions League: platinum chests, with a small chance of obtaining a mysterious chest!]

[National teams—continental cup competitions: unknown.]

[Under special conditions, there is a chance of triggering additional chest missions!]

Leo Kang finally understood.

Legendary chests were chests containing the skill modules of legendary players.

Bronze, gold, platinum, and mysterious referred to the chest tiers.

There was no way the skill modules of Cruyff, Maradona, Platini, and Beckenbauer could come from mere platinum chests.

He hurriedly put on his football boots.

Scooped up a football.

Then dashed down to the small training ground beneath the dormitory building.

A moment later.

The dormitory area's security guards heard a series of incredibly violent booming sounds!

Along with intermittent bangs!

"Thunder?"

The next day.

With Bayer Leverkusen's money behind it.

China's official football website.

The homepages of major online platforms and football media apps.

All simultaneously pushed highlights of Leo Kang's youth team match.

<Chinese Wonderkid's Stunning Debut! Völler's Successor!>

The staff member responsible for the editing was definitely a master.

Accompanied by rousing background music.

Leo Kang provided a goal and an assist in the video, looking every bit as impressive as the young Messi and Ronaldo.

There were barely any likes.

Zero reposts.

And the comments were still full of nothing good.

-

[Staged, huh? He played pretty well! The opposing youngsters' acting was great too! Such a huge gap, and they just let him through. Put me on the pitch, and I'd defend Leo Kang until he questioned his life!]

-

[So what if it's real? It's only the German youth league. The standard can't be that high. I'll say it again: if Leo Kang ever gets to play for a Bundesliga first team, I'll livestream myself eating thirty catties of shit!]

-

[Can you European clubs stop targeting our Chinese market? Stop taking up public resources all the time.]

-

[Stop feeding us crap! Haven't we been hurt deeply enough? Since 2013, these European clubs have been signing Chinese players one after another, hyping them to the heavens, but in reality, every one of them has been a pile of shit!]

-

[And those unscrupulous football media outlets, constantly bragging about how amazing Chinese players overseas are!]

-

[Who the hell is Völler?]

-

[Pfft! I checked Transfermarkt's official website. Bayer Leverkusen bought Leo Kang from Demacia Youth Academy for just one million euros! That's practically a clearance sale! If Leo Kang were really that good, how could Barcelona possibly have let him go? Hahaha!]

In contrast.

In a certain Chinese livestream.

The small-time streamer had hung a Bayer Leverkusen number 10 shirt behind him!

"Brothers! Did you see that? I bought Brother Leo's number 10 shirt!"

"In a few days! Bayer Leverkusen will be taking on Bayern Munich in the German youth league!"

"They can't beat them? Impossible. Let me tell you, Brother Leo's ability is absolutely crushing in the youth league!"

"Trust me! Next Saturday! Charge with me! Leverkusen Youth Team is a guaranteed win!"

-

[Stop jinxing them! Any team you hype ends up losing!]

-

[I don't trust the streamer. I trust Brother Leo. That through ball in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, then yesterday's goal and assist—too damn awesome!]

-

[I looked it up. That old man Völler thinks very highly of Leo Kang! The old man has a sharp eye, after all! He was a World Cup runner-up coach! And with that fiery temper of his, he's never bothered to lie!]

-

[He was also a World Cup champion, UEFA European Championship champion, and Champions League champion as a player. Germans care deeply about their reputation. They wouldn't just brag nonsense!]

-

[I believe Brother Leo can win too. A midfielder of his type comes with his own aura—he can raise the fighting power of the entire team!]
