In Boca Juniors' medical room, David Achucaro lay on a hospital bed, groaning.
He felt like his whole body had fallen apart.
What had gotten into that mascot Su Bai today?
He had clearly been a weakling before, so why had he suddenly turned into a heavy tank?
"David, you've got a crack in your ribs. You need to rest properly for a while!"
The team doctor's words made David Achucaro burst into tears.
This was the most crucial period of the U18 league.
He had finally earned a starting spot, only to get injured for no apparent reason.
Meanwhile!
Su Bai secretly returned to the dormitory.
His roommate was still on the training ground. Taking advantage of the empty room, Su Bai quickly shut the door, lay on his bed, and entered the system.
Once inside, Su Bai realized that this thing was pretty much like the Pro Evolution Soccer game he had played in his previous life.
A character model identical to himself occupied the most prominent spot in the system.
Beside the character model were all sorts of his attributes.
Attack 71 Ball Control 72 Passing 74 Shooting 74 Heading 69 Set Pieces 68 Curl 66 Speed 85 Strength 100 Jump 71 Body Balance 100 Stamina 85 Defense 58 Tackling 65 Overall Rating 76 Age 16 Skills: Empty
Other than that, there was a green bar that looked like an experience bar.
The system's explanation for it was very clear.
This was the Training Value the system had mentioned earlier.
For every twenty hours spent training, the Training Value would fill up, and he would gain one freely allocated attribute point.
But with his current overall rating being a measly 76, free attribute points could only raise attributes below 80.
There were also many locked icons in the system, all blacked out and impossible to make out.
After studying it for quite a while, Su Bai finally understood how this thing worked.
Just like in a game, the system had completely turned his body into a set of attributes. The reason he had been able to unleash such a terrifying shot on the training ground just now was clearly because his Strength had risen to 100.
His Speed was already considered fast among people his age, yet it was only 85. One could only imagine what 100 Strength represented.
At the same time as his immense Strength, his Body Balance had also reached its maximum value.
That was why poor David Achucaro had been rammed into oblivion by him without understanding what had happened.
That guy usually loved running his mouth anyway, so Su Bai did not regret accidentally injuring him in the slightest.
Although he was of Chinese descent and had grown up in Argentina, the locals had always been xenophobic. In their eyes, all the money Chinese Argentinians had came from exploiting them.
They never stopped to think about why they remained so poor despite being so lazy!
The original Su Bai had developed a submissive personality in such an environment.
It was only after Su Bai transmigrated here that everything changed.
Of course, the only reason for that change was that Su Bai was ruthless and dirty when he fought.
Twenty hours for one point.
That meant he would have to train like his life depended on it for an entire day and night just to raise one attribute below 80 by a single point.
This system was fucking stingy. You'd already given me cheats, so couldn't you be a little more generous? Twenty points per hour would be more like it!
But clearly, the system paid Su Bai no attention at all.
He exited the system.
Su Bai glanced at the Ronaldo Nazário poster hanging at the head of his bed, opened the door, and headed back to the training ground.
By then, the team's training had long since ended.
The head coach was also a little puzzled when he saw Su Bai return. Hadn't this kid said he was injured?
Why had he come back instead of getting checked out?
"Coach, I'm fine now. I still want to train."
After saying that, Su Bai returned to the training ground alone.
Ignacio watched Su Bai's solitary figure on the field and silently nodded. At the very least, no one could match this guy's diligence.
Su Bai began training as if his life depended on it. At the same time, Director Zhu took Li Feng and the reporters away from their exhausting work and began their comfortable trip.
All kinds of lavish delicacies, all kinds of extravagant services.
The reporters endlessly praised Director Zhu's wise mind and selfless generosity!
And they happily deleted all the footage of Su Bai from their cameras.
Only Li Feng, carrying Director Zhu's luggage, occasionally touched his right pants pocket and remained silent.
Inside Ignacio's office.
The assistant coach hurried in, holding David Achucaro's diagnostic report.
"Boss, it's a bone fracture!"
"He'll need at least three months of rest!"
Hayes's words made Ignacio's frown deepen.
Boca U18 was really having a rough time.
Compared to the first team, their youth team could be called the shame of Boca's fans.
Six rounds of the youth league had already been played, yet they had drawn three and lost three.
With six goals scored and twelve conceded, they were near the bottom of the league standings.
And that was only because Bozenik had put on miraculous performances in every match, keeping the number of goals conceded to just twelve!
If he hadn't already been with the youth team for a full ten years, Boca would probably have kicked him out long ago.
But even so, he was still sitting on pins and needles. Boca's fans had notoriously bad tempers. After that 0–3 home defeat, if the security staff hadn't been competent, the enraged fans would definitely have stabbed him a couple of times.
"Boss, what about this weekend's match? Are we really going to let Su Bai play?"
Hayes's words made the already depressed Ignacio even more irritated.
Everyone could see Su Bai's level for what it was. And the fact that he was the team mascot was known not only by the club staff, but by the fans as well.
If he really sent Su Bai onto the field, it would be fine if they won. But if they suffered another crushing defeat, then his position as head coach...
"Sigh! Let me think about it some more!"
With a sigh, Ignacio slumped back into his chair.
Seeing the head coach like that, Hayes could only shake his head helplessly and leave the office.
After stepping outside, Hayes looked out the window!
That so-called mascot everyone talked about was practicing shots beneath the blazing sun.
Shooting?
He had only given him a casual glance.
But that one glance made Hayes freeze instantly.
"Clang!!!"
That same terrifying sound.
On the training field, Su Bai's shot slammed violently into the goalpost once again.
Even from the third floor!
Hayes could clearly hear the goalpost's pained groan.
What kind of sound was that?
It was as though every bone in his body had begun trembling along with it.
The second shot!
The football blasted into the net!
The third shot!
The ball sailed slightly over the crossbar!
The fourth shot!
"BANG!!!!!"
Ignacio opened the office door and stood beside Hayes!
Usually calm and reserved, Ignacio now wore the exact same expression as Hayes.
