Chapter Twelve Opportunity

  It's been said that there will be two updates, and there certainly will be.

  ————

  These comments Chu Jiang did not know at all, if he knew, he would definitely be very happy. As a 17-year-old child, getting praise from others and being recognized by others is definitely something to be happy about. However, for Chu Jiang, what made him happiest was not this.

  On a day of routine reflection, Chu Jiang suddenly heard a beautiful system prompt tone.

  "Ding! After deep reflection, you finally grasped the subtleties of football and obtained a skill exchange point!"

  Skill "Epiphany", successfully triggered!

  A skill exchange point worth at least 370 experience points!

  What is this concept?

  In school, Chu Jiang trained and competed hard, performing the best in every competition, but only gained 15 experience points every six days. Even without the penalty of halving experience after 30 days, it would take Chu Jiang about 25 weeks, nearly 150 days, almost half a year to gain 370 experience points through hard training!

  It took an epiphany to save half a year! Chu Jiang finally realized what kind of perverted skill he had drawn.

  Realizing the subtlety of football is just a skill exchange point; if you realize it more deeply, will there be better rewards? One skin is worth one skill exchange point. If you grasp the essence, the reward must be ten times or even a hundred times more precious than the skill exchange point!

  Thinking of this, Chu Jiang couldn't help but get excited. However, before long, he felt somewhat deflated.

  It took almost 20 days to acquire this skill, and I finally succeeded once, but the success rate is a bit low!

  How can we increase the success rate of triggering this skill? Chu Jiang took out the skill again and examined it in detail.

  "...the intensity of the competition, the level of training, and the quality of performance will determine the success rate of epiphany and the final reward..."

  Reflecting on today's match process, Chu Jiang gradually gained some insight.

  "What is the key to triggering enlightenment today?"

  "Training, from a systemic point of view, is only at the fifth level of inferiority, and the level is definitely very low, it's definitely not the reason for triggering enlightenment. This factor can be ruled out!"

  "The good or bad performance... Good performance will have the possibility of enlightenment; poor performance is not possible to enlighten. This factor is a necessary factor for enlightenment, but it is not enough to trigger enlightenment. For today's successful triggering, this factor can also be ruled out!"

  "What's the intensity of the match? Compared to us, Jiang Hai Cheng Hua is indeed a strong team. However, in the eyes of a system that can cultivate world-class players, a team that is only qualified for the Chinese First League is not considered a high-level team. But why did the skill "顿悟" (Epiphany) get successfully triggered after this match?"

  "It seems that the intensity of the competition has two meanings. One is that it's a high-level match, and the intensity will definitely not be low; another is that it may refer to the gap in strength between the two teams, if the weaker team wins, the intensity of the competition will also be low. Today's successful epiphany was because the school team's strength and Chenghua team's strength gap were relatively large, which increased the chances of a successful epiphany."

  "Of course, anything involving probability is also related to luck. With good luck, even a 50 million lottery ticket can be won, and naturally, the success rate of enlightenment can also be increased. However, the element of luck is elusive, and success cannot rely solely on luck."

  "It seems that to truly increase the chances of success in intuition, one must go challenge high-level leagues. The teams in the A-League are at a higher level than Chenghua team, but only slightly higher. Moreover, the entire A-League has relatively evenly matched teams. This means that in terms of intensity of competition, going to an A-League team does not bring significant improvement."

  "If I were to choose a team, it would have to be at least a Super League team. If there's an even higher level of league that invites me, that would be even better. I don't know if Mr. Klose has any news on his end, he's been gone for quite some time..."

  "Alas!" Chu Jiang sighed.

  There's no lead on that matter for now, so Chu Jiang temporarily put it aside. Let's take a look at what skills can be exchanged with skill exchange points first.

  A blue light flashed, and the skill exchange interface opened.

  "Chu Jiang, now has a skill exchange point: 1 point!"

  "Exchangeable skills are as follows."

  "Basic Dribbling Technique: Improves dribbling ability, requires minimum dribbling attribute: 5 points. When this skill is upgraded to advanced, it increases the success rate of beating an opponent by 5% and permanently increases dribbling attribute by 2 points."

  "Basic Header Skill: Improves heading ability. Requires at least 5 points in Heading attribute. When upgraded to Advanced, increases header success rate by 5% and permanently boosts Heading attribute by 2 points."

  …………

  As he scanned line by line, Chu Jiang's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  These skills all look pretty good, but none of them have anything to do with goalkeeper attributes.

  "Doesn't the skill of Moongate require a higher skill exchange point?"

  Chu Jiang had some guesses, but wasn't very sure. Chu Jiang decided to wait until he got another skill exchange point in a few days and then take another look.

  The surprise of the "Epiphany" skill made Chu Jiang have more expectations for the role of skills.

  At this time, the sound of his mother's call came from outside the door. Chu Jiang pushed open the door and chatted with his parents while watching TV. After rebirth, when Chu Jiang was at home, he would deliberately help his parents with some household chores and chat with them. Chu Jiang cherished this kind of ordinary happiness.

  This kind of happiness is probably something that people who have never experienced loss will not understand.

  Usually, every few days' "City Express" will have news about Jianghai Chenghua team. As the only team in Jianghai City, Chenghua team, which is about to be promoted to Class A club, has a high attention in Jianghai City. Today's news happens to mention the match between Chenghua team and Chujiang School team.

  In the program, the host was very surprised at Chenghua team's unexpected loss and quoted the words of Chenghua players and coaches to lavish praise on Chu Jiang, calling him "the hope star of Jianghai City football".

  Although there was no game footage on TV, and the host just gave a simple compliment, Chu Jiang's parents were extremely happy, even happier than if they had received praise themselves.

  As parents, even a small achievement of their children will make them happy for a long time.

  This scene was deeply etched in Chu Jiang's heart. He vowed to bring even more and greater joy to his parents. Because, this was what he owed them!

  The next day, Chenghua Club sent someone to sign a professional contract with Chu Jiang. However, Chu Jiang's ambition was not in this, and he politely declined.

  It was also from this day on that Chu Jiang's reputation in the football circle seemed to have grown even bigger. Every day during training, there would be all sorts of unfamiliar faces standing by the sidelines, even if the school didn't have a match that day.

  In the following days, Chu Jiang received invitations from five Class B teams and three Class A teams.

  Among them, a Class A club has the strength to impact the Super League, and its current ranking in the points list is also very good. Moreover, this club also promised that at least 10 appearances would be given to Chu Jiang for one season, and if the performance was good, the salary would be tripled and the main position would be given.

  Chu Jiang turned down seven invitations, but was slightly moved by the invitation from the A-level club. Although the treatment offered by the club was not the highest, Chu Jiang valued something else more - the opportunity to enter the Super League. Chu Jiang had watched that team's games and their strength in the A-level league was indeed good, while the goalkeeper happened to be his weakness. Many of the games they lost points in were related to that goalkeeper. Chu Jiang was confident that with his ability, he could replace that goalkeeper and become a main player.

  However, Chu Jiang still had some doubts and replied to the club, hoping to consider it for a few days. The club also agreed, but hoped that Chu Jiang could give him a definite answer within two weeks.

  Two days later, Chu Jiang received another invitation from the Super League. The club was the team that Yuan Chenhai was about to transfer to.

  Since that match, Chu Jiang and Yuan Chenhai have become good friends. Two excellent young people, they appreciate each other. Yuan Chenhai once mentioned to Chu Jiang that he had recommended him to his future boss. Unexpectedly, the club really valued Chu Jiang. However, what he gave Chu Jiang was only a contract as a hopeful star of the first team, with no guarantee of playing.

  These two contracts, Chu Jiang didn't know which one to choose. Principal Mo, Director Zhan and his parents couldn't give him any definite advice. Yuan Chenhai of course hoped that his good friend could go with him to the same team, but to be honest, he also didn't know which contract was more suitable for Chu Jiang.

  At a time when Zhou Jiang was hesitating, one day, a fax from Italy quietly arrived at the principal's office of the school.
