First Team Dormitory.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Ballack 'Curved Artillery' Module!" ]
[ He is the tragic hero, the soul of the tank, the lone warrior in the struggle against destiny, the remaining spark of German football's dark period! ]
[ Bundesliga Runner-Up! ]
[ DFB-Pokal Runner-Up! ]
[ UEFA Champions League Runner-Up! ]
[ FIFA World Cup Runner-Up! ]
[ UEFA European Championship Runner-Up! ]
[ He has been the runner-up 13 times in his professional career! ]
[ Two years after his retirement, German football raised the World Cup and ushered in the most glorious era of the new century! ]
Li Kang: "."
A golden chest emitted faint glows.
It entered his body.
Li Kang's posterior cortex experienced an indescribable piercing pain.
In his memory, scenes filled with a violent aesthetic emerged. The kind of effort that pulled a thousand pounds and had an overwhelming force.
It felt as if it was penetrating Li Kang's bone marrow.
After a long while, he sat up from the couch.
There was no change in the attributes on the system panel.
[ Ding, as the host's attributes improve, all skill modules will receive additional bonuses! It is possible to break through the skill limit! ]
So that's how it works.
Li Kang wiped the cold sweat from his brow with a towel.
Suddenly, he realized something.
The reward from his youth league debut was of golden grade.
Wouldn't the reward from the first-team debut be platinum? Could he unlock more powerful skill modules?
[ The debut reward belongs to special mission rewards! ]
[ Chest types are divided into: Normal Chest and Legendary Chest. ]
[ Chest levels and rewards are as follows: ]
[ Youth league and lower-tier leagues: Bronze Chest! ]
[ Five major leagues: Golden Chest! ]
[ UEFA Champions League: Platinum Chest, with a small probability to obtain a Mystery Chest! ]
[ National team - Continental Cup: Unknown. ]
[ Under special conditions, there is a probability of triggering additional chest missions! ]
Li Kang suddenly realized.
A legendary chest includes skill modules of legendary soccer players.
Bronze-Golden-Platinum/Mystery represents the chest's level.
Skill modules like Cruyff, Maradona, Platini, Beckenbauer's wouldn't be obtainable from just a platinum chest.
He hastily put on his soccer shoes.
Carrying the soccer ball, he dashed to the small training ground below the dormitory.
A while later, the dormitory area's security personnel heard a series of extremely loud explosions.
There were also intermittent popping sounds.
"Is that thunder?"
The next day, thanks to Leverkusen's financial backing, the Dragon Nation's official website, various online platforms, and football media apps' homepages all featured Li Kang's exciting moments in the youth league match.
"Dragon Descendant Young Ace's Astonishing Debut! Voeller's Heir!"
The staff responsible for the editing were undoubtedly masters of their craft.
With the accompaniment of an exhilarating background music, the video showed Li Kang making passes and taking shots, reminiscent of a young Messi.
The number of likes was minimal.
The number of shares was zero.
The comments section was still filled with negative comments.
"Staged? Still played well! The opposing young player's acting skills were excellent! He missed such a huge opportunity; if it were me, I'd doubt life itself defending against Li Kang!"
"Playing well in the German youth league might not mean much. I'll stick to what I said: if Li Kang can play in the German Bundesliga first team, I'll eat 30 kilograms of crap live!"
"Can European clubs please stop occupying our Dragon Nation's market? You've been using our resources since 2013, hyping our players to the skies, but in reality, they're just garbage!"
"And those unscrupulous football media outlets keep hyping how amazing our Dragon Nation's players are overseas!"
"Who's this Voeller guy?"
"Haha! I checked on the official transfer market website. Leverkusen bought Li Kang from La Masia's youth training camp for 1 million euros. It's practically a steal! If Li Kang is really that good, how could Barcelona let him go? Hahaha!"
On the contrary, in a Dragon Nation's live streaming room...
In the background, Li Kang's number 10 jersey was hanging.
"Guys! Did you see it? I bought Li Brother's number 10 jersey!"
"In a few days, Leverkusen's youth team is going up against Bayern!"
"No chance of winning? Impossible, I'm telling you, Li Brother's strength is absolutely dominant in the youth league!"
"Trust me! Next Saturday, follow me! Leverkusen's youth team is definitely going to win!"
"Stop cursing! Every team you support ends up losing!"
"I don't believe the streamer; I believe in Li Brother. His through ball in the European U21 Championship and his shot yesterday were just too amazing!"
"I did some research, and that Voeller guy really believes in Li Kang! That old man has a sharp eye; after all, he's a World Cup runner-up coach! And he never lies!"
"He was a World Cup champion, European Championship champion, and Champions League champion during his playing days. Germans place a lot of value on reputation and don't talk nonsense!"
"I also believe Li Brother can win; he's that type of midfielder, and he has a halo that boosts the entire team's combat power!"
