During the normal training period of the new season, Mendes finally negotiated a new contract with Hoffenheim FC.

In the new contract, Lu Wenbin's annual salary is still 1 million euros, but it has changed from pre-tax to after-tax, and the club will pay taxes to Lu Wenbin in the future, and Lu Wenbin will get a net annual salary of 1 million euros.

Of course, part of that is Mendes' commission.

In addition, other appearances, goal awards, Champions League qualifications, and championship awards are also expected to be improved.

The contract period was also cut by Mendes by one year, and it became a four-year contract.

And the price of these benefits is that Lu Wenbin's liquidated damages have skyrocketed to 50 million euros.

You must know that the 2006 European transfer bid king Shepchenko transferred from AC Milan to the local tyrant Chelsea for more than 40 million euros, and the 2007 bid king Robben was only 35 million.

As a result, both Dietmar Hope and general manager Rothouse felt that Mendes' liquidated damages should be safe.

Although they still want to set a higher liquidated damages, it is clear that this is Mendes' bottom line, and it can no longer be higher.

After all the conditions were negotiated, Lu Wenbin and the club officially signed the contract on July 10, and held a special press conference to announce it to the media.

On the one hand, it is the idea of telling other teams not to beat Lu Wenbin, and on the other hand, it is also the heart of the fans.

Indeed, after seeing Lu Wenbin's successful contract renewal with the club, Hoffenheim fans were very excited.

Many fans supported him outside the training base with signs and banners with Lu Wenbin's name written on them, and everyone was full of expectations for Hoffenheim's first Bundesliga season.

After completing the contract renewal and 100% sure to stay in Hoffenheim, Lu Wenbin also received the system task for the new season.

Mission 12: Miracle of Huo Village

Description: There was a famous Kaiserslautern miracle in German football, because Kaiserslautern once won the Bundesliga championship as a promoted horse in the first season of promotion. But Kaiserslautern is a former Bundesliga team and has a heritage. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, is a real promoted horse and has never played in a country club in the Bundesliga. If the host can lead Hoffenheim to complete the title in his first season of promotion to the Bundesliga, it will undoubtedly create a new name that will be famous in the world: the Huocun miracle.

Mission: Lead Hoffenheim to the 2008/2009 Bundesliga title.

Reward: 100,000 XP + 10 Skill Points.

……

Mission 13: Defend the German Cup

Description: Although Hoffenheim only won the German Cup last season, the host with the championship system can never give up the pursuit of any title. What's more, defending a title is a greater achievement than winning a title alone.

Mission: Lead Hoffenheim to the 2008/2009 German Cup and defend the title.

Reward: 50,000 XP + 5 Skill Points.

……

Mission 14: Champion of the League Cup

Mission description: The 2008/2009 UEFA Cup will be the last UEFA Cup in Europe, and since the host team has qualified for the UEFA Cup, it is natural to win this last edition.

Mission: Lead Hoffenheim to the UEFA Cup in 2008/2009.

Reward: 200,000 XP + 20 Skill Points.

……

Mission 15: Triple Crown

Description: If the host completes Quest 12, Quest 13, and Quest 14 at the same time, it will automatically obtain the Triple Crown achievement and become a real big star.

Requirements: Complete Task 12, Task 13, and Mission 14 at the same time to win the Triple Crown.

Reward: Activate the hidden skill "Judgment" + 20 skill points.

Actually, before the start of the season, there should be a Super Cup.

Other leagues are usually played by the league winners of the previous season against the FA Cup winners, but Germany is played by six teams and is not called the Super Cup, but the German League Cup.

Qualification for the German League Cup is made up of last season's top four finishers in the Bundesliga, the winner of the German Cup, and the winner of the Bundesliga.

Since Hoffenheim won both the German Cup and the Bundesliga last season, the remaining place should be filled by fifth place in the Bundesliga.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and German Cup winners Hoffenheim then automatically seeded for the semi-finals and have both home advantage, with Bundesliga runners-up second-place vs Bundesliga fifth, Bundesliga third-place vs Bundesliga fourth-place deciding the other two semi-final spots.

Finally, the semi-finals and finals will be played to determine the champion.

However, due to the Euro 2008 and Olympic Games, the 2008/2009 season was a bit tight, and the German League Cup did not have one game like the Super Cup in other countries.

As a result, the German League Cup before the start of the 2008/2009 season was cancelled, which is why Lu Wenbin did not receive the task of winning the German League Cup.

In addition to the fact that there is one less champion to compete for, the reward for mission skill points does not increase with the level of the champion, and the Bundesliga title is only the same as the skill point reward for the winner of the German Cup last season.

Moreover, the German Cup winner's skill point reward has dropped by half compared to last season, but with a little more experience.

According to the system's explanation, as the strength of the host increases, the difficulty of obtaining the same champion naturally decreases.

Therefore, the skill point reward of the German Cup that Lu Wenbin only won last season was naturally reduced, and more experience was given to compensate.

However, the usual experience rewards for a single game will not change, and the German Cup still has 1,000 assists, 2,000 goals and 4,000 wins.

As for the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup, the system doesn't say that you will have to play the first game to know how much experience you will be rewarded, as before.

But in any case, it can be seen from the mission rewards that the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup are definitely more generous than the German Cup for a single game.

Of course, what Lu Wenbin is most concerned about is the hidden skill "judgment" that has appeared again.

According to the system's interpretation, this is the property that determines when the host judges what action to do on the pitch.

For example, when to pull and run, when to respond, when to counter offside, when to pass, when to shoot, which angle to shoot, what power to use, and so on.

The higher the judgment attribute, the more correct and decisive the decisions made by the host, the more shots created for themselves and the team, and the higher the success rate of goal goals.

To put it in another layman's terms, it's pretty much the same as ball quotient.

As long as this skill is activated and increased to the full value, Lu Wenbin's threat on the court will be even greater, and it will also greatly increase his goals and the team's chances of winning.

Although the Triple Crown is not easy, no matter what, Lu Wenbin has to go all out to complete it and strive to open this hidden skill!
