Chapter 14: Ball Soul

"Will my players know about their virtual games?"

"It's impossible to know, right?"

"Will virtual matches affect them in the real world?"

Gao Hong couldn't help but have some questions in his heart.

Now is not the time to study this, and it is impossible to know the answer for the time being.

Let's win this game first and get the reward.

Soon after the start of the virtual game, Wan Tao took the ball and triggered the heavy artillery bombardment skill, and the ball was shot into the opponent's net in response.

"It doesn't look like a strong opponent." Gao Hong put his mind at ease.

However, Gao Hong soon became unhappy.

The opposite center circle kicked off, and soon the color was also used to equalize the score on the field.

The time of this kind of small game is only half an hour in the second half combined.

The speed of time can be adjusted at any time in a simulated match, and a game does not take half an hour, and can be accelerated to five minutes at the earliest.

Only at some critical moments, the system will take the initiative to slow down and let Gao Hong carry out a small range of operations.

For example, key passes, as well as all shots, Gao Hong can choose to manually operate on the screen.

Every time Wan Tao shoots, Gao Hong is carried out by hand.

But even so, his team lost the game.

Football is a whole sport and you can't just have one or two players who are very good.

Just like Messi, although he is very good, he has not been able to lead Argentina to win the World Cup.

Because the other Argentine players of his generation were too weak.

Except for Wan Tao and Chen Hua, the other players in Gao Hong's team are too weak to form an effective cooperation with them, and the ball is easy to lose at their feet.

Although the opposing team is not particularly powerful, the team strength is average, and every position can be powerful.

Wan Tao's long-range shot is very powerful, but if he scores one, the opponent can score two.

Chen Hua's qualifications are only D-level, and his poaching skills are not always successful.

The overall strength of the opponent is average, and he can often break the ball at the feet of the weaker players on Gao Hong's side, and then directly launch a counterattack to score.

In this case, if you want to win this game, it is impossible to rely on Wan Tao and Chen Hua alone.

You'll have to find some other players who can play well with them.

But for a while, Gao Hong had nowhere to recruit the right players.

He is now just a small coach of the reserve team and has no authority to recruit players at all.

In the past, players who had been eliminated from other reserve teams would only be sent to him.

Wan Tao and Chen Hua, if it weren't for Hu Dong's impure idea to beat Zhang Lei, stealing chickens would not be a loss of rice, and they would not have been picked up by Gao Hong.

Now Gao Hong has a headache.

If you can't win this virtual game, you won't get the reward of the soul of the ball.

If you can't get the reward of the ball soul, you can't effectively improve the team's combat power.

It's a bit of a contradiction.

Soon Gao Hong thought of a way to improve the strength of the team.

He didn't use this method before, mainly because he felt that it was a bit wasteful, but now he can't do without it.

That is to swipe the experience cards of the other team members, and all their basic attributes are full.

Although their stats have been improved and they have no skills to equip, they can improve their skill level.

For example, body coordination and flexibility have increased, and dribbling and passing will naturally be more accurate. With more leg strength and field vision, shots will naturally be more accurate.

It is indeed a waste to use experience cards on them, Gao Hong only gave them a small amount of them before, and upgraded some of their basic attributes to LV1, so that they could feel his magic, but did not give them a full boost.

These team members are too poorly qualified, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by Gao Hong, and when they are eliminated, they will have to spend cleaning cards to recover these skill cards, which feels very uneconomical.

Gao Hong found a mall in the system that has not yet opened, but he can see the goods in the mall.

There are cleaning cards for sale in the mall, but cleaning cards need to be exchanged for soul stones, and the price is six soul stones to exchange for a cleaning card.

Where does the Soul Stone come from...... It is equivalent to the salary that Gao Hong got in the system.

Currently, he is only a system-certified LV1 instructor and has a hundred soul stones to receive every day.

In addition to being able to exchange for cleaning cards, soul stones can also be exchanged for many other useful things.

It can even be exchanged for Ball Soul during some special periods.

The system has not rewarded soul stones yet, and it seems that soul stones should be a relatively scarce resource, and it is better not to waste them on cleaning cards easily.

But in this situation, Gao Hong has no choice.

In order to beat the first simulation match, he will have to improve the strength of other players, and he will have to consume these skill cards.

In the end, Gao Hong still used up all the skill cards, and added the attributes of the other four main players on the field to the full value they could achieve, and then Gao Hong challenged this level again.

Sure enough, after improving the basic attributes, the performance of these players on the field is very different from the game just now.

They were much more accurate in their passing, much more consistent in their dribbling, and even had other players raise their feet and almost score when the opportunity was right!

With such a change, coupled with Gao Hong's operation, this time the team finally won the virtual game with a score of 7 to 6, a slight advantage.

It's no surprise that the score is so high. In the game of the junior team, the small court, the transition between attack and defense is very fast, and many times you can shoot with your feet, and if the defenders and goalkeepers are inexperienced, it is easy to be shot indiscriminately.

After winning this virtual match, Gao Hong was rewarded with some experience cards and cleaning cards.

But most importantly, he got a ball soul.

A ball soul that can greatly improve the strength of a player!

It's a D-class ball soul.

The owner of the ball soul...... Gao Hong is not very familiar with him, he is a Colombian player named Zuniga.

Because it's a D-rank ball soul, this ball soul only has one skill.

A skill called 'Covert Action'.

This skill is a passive skill used for defense, and it has a certain chance to be triggered when a player is defending, and after triggering, it will use very hidden small actions to interfere with the opponent's ball-handling player, so that the player with the ball cannot dribble smoothly.

The higher the 'Covert Move' skill level, the more interference the opposing player will be. It can even lose the ball because of this, and it has a strong restraint effect on players who are good at dribbling.

"Well, this skill is good, and when equipped on a defender or a midfielder, it can greatly strengthen the defense of the backline." Gao Hong was quite satisfied with the ball soul he got.

Among Gao Hong's two defenders, there is a player named Xu Kun who fits the soul of the ball.

Gao Hong equipped this ball soul on Xu Kun's body, and Xu Kun's qualification was temporarily upgraded to D-level, and he had a defensive skill: concealment action.

Unlike skill cards, the skills attached to the ball soul can be used all the time.
