The devil training is over, triggering an extra reward! Ye Chen is about to take off!

The outside world may be buzzing with excitement, but Ye Chen has no time to pay attention.

All he needs to do now is work hard—harder and harder!

He has become the earliest to arrive and the latest to leave the training ground.

Jurgen Klopp has noticed everything.

He even reminded Ye Chen not to push himself too hard—after all, he's only 17!

But Ye Chen didn't listen. If he didn't strive to become stronger, what if he got injured?

Many teammates who didn't understand Ye Chen thought he was just putting on a show, trying to attract attention and step on others to climb up.

But did Ye Chen really need to fake it?

Time would prove everything!

October 6th

In front of 90,000 spectators at the Bird's Nest Stadium, the Chinese national team played a friendly against the UAE.

China won 2-1.

After the match, fans praised the players' performance and spoke highly of coach Camacho.

With the World Cup qualifiers approaching, anticipation was at an all-time high.

Their next opponent: Iraq.

The match was scheduled for October 11th. If China lost, their chances of qualifying would become merely theoretical.

Ye Chen, however, wasn't paying attention to any of this.

He was fully immersed in training.

So much so that Klopp left him out of the squad for a friendly against Hegen.

Even without Ye Chen, the team secured a 2-1 victory, though the match was tough.

With many key players absent and Ye Chen not playing, scoring goals became a real problem.

But none of that mattered.

Ye Chen's focus was on those 10 free attribute points.

Breakthrough in Training

After days of intense training, Ye Chen confirmed something—his recovery ability had greatly improved.

Moreover, he discovered something he had previously overlooked.

His match points had been increasing!

Every win: +10 pointsEvery goal: +10 pointsEvery assist: +5 points

Adding up past U18 matches and two hat-tricks, Ye Chen had accumulated 115 points!

It turned out that only official matches counted, while friendlies did not.

And match points served as currency in the system's shop.

The shop had various consumables like speed potions, explosive power potions, stamina potions, and recovery potions.

There were also football-related gear, including cleats, socks, and shin guards.

The basic potions cost 100 points each but had instant effects:

For example, a stamina potion immediately increased stamina by 30 points.

Imagine an extra-time match where everyone is exhausted, and suddenly—boom!—you gain 30 stamina.

The best part?The system guaranteed these potions were completely safe, undetectable, and had no side effects!

With potions like these, wouldn't he soar to the top?

Reputation System & Growing Fanbase

Aside from the shop system, Ye Chen also had a reputation system.

While its effects were still unclear, it allowed him to track his number of hardcore fans.

Current hardcore fan count: 342,418!

For a newcomer, this number was insane.

Of course, part of it was because he was the only Chinese player in Europe's top leagues—handsome, skilled, and charismatic.

Ah… this damned charm!

October 11th – China vs. Iraq

The World Cup qualifier was held at the Bird's Nest at 8:15 PM.

The 90,000-seat stadium was packed.

Although Chinese football had its struggles, it still had a passionate fan base.

But in the end, China lost 0-1 to Iraq.

After the match, midfielder Zhao Xuri collapsed onto the field, punching the ground in frustration—a heartbreaking sight.

Younis Mahmoud's first-half goal decided the match.

And China… a nation of 1.4 billion people… couldn't even find a proper striker.

Gao Lin created chances on the wing, but his finishing wasn't good enough.

At that moment, everyone thought of Ye Chen.

Soon, "Ye Chen should join the national team" started trending online—second only to "China loses to Iraq – total embarrassment!"

However, coach Camacho had no say in the decision.

The Chinese Football Association had to approve it.

Ye Chen? He didn't care.

It was only when reporter Li Xinran mentioned it that he realized China's World Cup chances were now purely theoretical.

He sighed.

The national team was a swamp—he wasn't ready to jump into it yet.

China's football problems weren't about one or two players.

It was deep-rooted corruption.

Ye Chen believed he wasn't the first "genius rejected for not playing by the rules", nor would he be the last.

The Devil Training Pays Off

Days passed, and Ye Chen's relentless training shocked his teammates.

At first, some thought he was just showing off for Klopp.

But after 10 straight days of insane effort, they had to admit—this guy was different.

Some teammates secretly started training harder too.

"If Ye Chen is working this hard, we have to try harder!"

But soon, they gave up.

"He's already so talented—what's the point of us trying?"

They comforted themselves:"His training is insane. Normal people can't do that!"

Over time, Ye Chen's mentality also changed.

He became calmer, more composed.

Like the song says:"No pain, no gain.""No one succeeds easily."

Success must be earned.

The Reward Arrives!

After another exhausting 20km run, Ye Chen finally returned home.

And then—

Ding!

"Congratulations! You have completed the Devil Training!"

"Rating: S-tier – Extra rewards unlocked!"

"You have received 15 free attribute points!"

His hard work had paid off.

Ye Chen clenched his fists, excitement surging within him.

15 points!

And they could be distributed however he wanted!

He knew—

He was about to take off! 🚀
