Lin Dong had used 7 trait upgrade chances on Wang Chu.
But!
The effect was immediate, Wang Chu's attributes had undergone a dramatic change.
His body was healthy again, his Injury Resistance was no longer the pitiful 10 points.
Instead, he now possessed 80 points of Injury Resistance.
Wang Chu could finally focus on improving his skills without worrying about constant injuries.
Initially, Lin Dong intended to transfer Wang Chu to another league.
But!
With Wang Chu's current 53-point ability value, to be honest, he would just be a benchwarmer in the second division of the Big Five Leagues.
So, it was better for him to stay in the Esch youth team, especially since he had two years left on his contract.
However!
The sky always has unexpected changes.
Just when Lin Dong had decided to let Wang Chu train in the Esch youth team.
Suddenly!
A phone call came directly to Wang Chu's phone.
Wang Chu answered the call.
As the voice on the other end of the line reached his ears, Wang Chu's initially excited expression gradually darkened.
"What happened?" Lin Dong asked eagerly after Wang Chu hung up.
"Brother Dong! I've been kicked out!"
Wang Chu's face was grim.
"How is that possible? Didn't you have two years left on your contract with the Esch youth team?"
With the Esch youth team suddenly kicking Wang Chu out, coupled with the sudden flood of negative news about him in China, Lin Dong had a hunch.
"I don't know either, but the Esch youth team said they will pay the breach of contract fee to my account on time!"
Wang Chu's expression was a little ugly.
"I think I know what happened!"
Saying that, Lin Dong immediately picked up his phone and checked the sports news in China.
As expected!
The Z Chinese Football Association had released two announcements on its official website.
They were!
(Considering that player Wang Chu has failed to live up to the Sichuan Football Association's training, has not seriously improved himself, but instead drinks heavily and does not train diligently, all national teams will permanently restrict him from joining.)
The comments under this announcement made Lin Dong's blood pressure rise.
"Good job! The national team doesn't need this kind of scum!"
"The country spent money to train him, and he goes out to party and waste it!"
"He's young and doesn't learn anything good, he just learns this kind of stuff!"
"He's called a football genius, I think that's just hype..."
The other announcement was the root cause of Wang Chu being kicked out.
(On October 15, 2013, an invitation will be extended to the Luxembourg Esch youth team and the national team to play a friendly match.)
"Wang Chu, be prepared, it seems we'll have to look for opportunities in the Big Five Leagues or the second division!"
Lin Dong's expression was also a bit grim.
"It's okay, Brother Dong! With my health! I'm confident I can carve out my own path in the Big Five Leagues!"
Hope flickered in Wang Chu's eyes, a hope he had never felt before.
"Yeah, yeah!"
Lin Dong nodded in agreement.
He then turned his attention back to the system.
The Esch youth team suddenly kicking Wang Chu out really disrupted Lin Dong's future plans for him.
And he couldn't believe that the Football Association would be so ruthless!
Looking at the three trait upgrade chances he had left, Lin Dong made a silent resolution.
After all, with Wang Chu's current skills, it would be very difficult for him to establish himself in even the second division of the Big Five Leagues.
He had initially planned to use these three trait upgrade chances for himself.
But!
Things being as they are, he had no choice but to upgrade Wang Chu's traits again.
Among Wang Chu's traits, "Healthy," "Iron Man," and "Football Prodigy" wouldn't improve his immediate combat effectiveness even if they were upgraded.
Therefore, Lin Dong focused his attention on "Beginner Speed" and "Beginner Passing."
"As a midfielder, passing ability is crucial, system, upgrade trait "Beginner Passing"!"
《Ding! Trait "Beginner Passing" is being upgraded, please wait!》
《Ding! Trait "Beginner Passing" has been upgraded to "Intermediate Passing"!》
《Intermediate Passing: Passing attribute minimum 70 points!》
After the upgrade, Wang Chu's passing attribute reached 70 points.
This value was not low at all, it was the level of a midfielder in the second division of the Big Five Leagues.
Even the midfielders of weaker teams in the Big Five Leagues had passing values within this range.
But!
Wang Chu's other ability values were too low.
Just because his passing attribute met the standard, the other attributes dragged him down, his strengths were overshadowed by his weaknesses.
He wouldn't be able to hold his own in the Big Five Leagues, let alone the second division.
"Continue the upgrade!"
Lin Dong said.
《Ding! Trait "Intermediate Passing" is being upgraded, please wait!》
《Ding! Trait upgrade has achieved a critical hit! "Intermediate Passing" has been upgraded to "Grandmaster Passing"! This trait can no longer be upgraded!》
《Grandmaster Passing: Passing attribute stabilized at 100 points!》
"A critical hit!!!!!"
Lin Dong thought he had heard wrong, his eyes were glued to Wang Chu's attribute panel.
He rubbed his eyes hard, but it was true, Wang Chu's passing attribute had stabilized at 100.
What does this mean?
Although theoretically, the highest achievable passing ability for a human is 100 points.
But!
No one in the world has ever reached this level.
Even superstars like Messi and De Bruyne only have a passing attribute of 99.
Don't think that a difference of only one point between 100 and 99 means their passing abilities are similar.
You have to know!
100 is because the highest rating is only 100.
While 99 is because his ability is only 99.
If Wang Chu got the ball in midfield, as long as he could get a shot off, he could tear apart the opponent's defense in an instant.
The improvement in Wang Chu's passing ability also boosted other attributes.
Especially his dribbling attribute, which finally broke through 60 points, and Wang Chu's traits added "Beginner Dribbling."
Seeing that he had one trait upgrade chance left, Lin Dong simply upgraded "Beginner Dribbling" to "Intermediate Dribbling."
This time, Wang Chu's attribute panel truly underwent a dramatic change.
《Name: Wang Chu》
《Profession: Football Player》
《Position: Central Midfielder 10 points, Right Midfielder 9 points, Right Winger 9 points》
《Ability Value: 65》
《Speed: 67》
《Shooting: 41》
《Passing: 100》
《Dribbling: 70》
《Defense: 37》
《Strength: 49》
《Injury Resistance: 80》
《Potential: 90 (93)》
《Traits: Healthy Iron Man Football Prodigy Beginner Speed Grandmaster Passing Intermediate Dribbling》
《Football Prodigy: Potential at least 90 points!》
《Intermediate Dribbling: Dribbling attribute minimum 60 points!》
The improvement in passing and dribbling ability also boosted his shooting attribute.
Shooting went from 35 points to 41 points.
After all, passing and dribbling are related to ball control, and as ball control improves, shooting naturally goes up.
As for speed, defense, and strength, these attributes related to the body did not change at all.
Potential returned to 90 points, which was understandable, after all, his basic strength improved, and naturally the height Wang Chu could reach in the future also improved.
Looking at Wang Chu's attribute panel, which had undergone a dramatic change, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction.
The two stayed at Wang Chu's residence for a night.
The next day, they packed their things and bought tickets to their next destination.
