Free Web NovelChapter 684: Chapter 94: Aura and Badge
When Chen Zhong saw the Golden Ball Aura, he felt a familiar sensation. Isn’t this just like the Butcher’s Aura?
Except in the youth team, he relied on ferocity, whereas in adult matches, he relied on the fame of the Golden Ball.
This turned out to be a growth-capable aura.
Chen Zhong loved things that could grow, perhaps because of the farming sentiment embedded in the bones of the Chinese people!
"So!"
"Now, in a single match, I can activate up to four auras."
"Leader, Golden Ball, Tough Guy, and then pair it with a Cornerstone or Core?"
Chen Zhong assumed a pondering posture, the only pity being that there wasn’t an overview, showing what other auras could be activated.
From Chen Zhong’s point of view, there should also be a Golden Boot Aura, Banner Aura, or something similar.
Exiting the aura interface, Chen Zhong turned to the badges interface.
Badges are a good thing; a player’s individual stats can peak at 99, but if you have a badge, it means you can exceed that limit.
This essentially gives you a sense of the extraordinary as depicted in novels. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Badges always mattered to Chen Zhong. He wasn’t sure what kind of adjustments they would trigger this time.
"Hmm?"
"What is this?"
Chen Zhong blinked, looking at the new badges interface.
Previously, the team’s badges included things like [Anticipation], [Burly Man], [Durability], and now there were six major categories presented to Chen Zhong.
Namely, [Shooting][Passing][Ball Control][Defense][Body][Goalkeeper]
Chen Zhong first opened the [Shooting] category.
In this category, Chen Zhong had 1 Golden Badge and 1 Silver Badge.
[Badge: Heavy Cannon (Gold)]
[Badge Description: Significantly increases foot speed and accuracy during powerful shots.]
[Trait: Super Violent Long Shot LV1]
[Trait Description: By long-term training with the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, you subtly learned his once-Premier League-famous Super Violent Long Shot.]
[Badge: Free Kick (Silver)]
[Badge Description: The arc of the free kick is more outstanding, with higher accuracy and speed.]
[Trait: Chen’s Arc LV1]
[Trait Description: After being influenced by masters like Guti, Beckham, and Pirlo, you significantly improved in taking free kicks and developed your own characteristic arc.]
Just the shooting badges alone opened Chen Zhong’s eyes.
"Heavy Cannon, meaning long shots, and on top of the long shot bonus, I can also integrate other people’s traits?"
"And the free kick, after the influence of Guti, Beckham, and Pirlo, the integrated Chen’s Arc can even be upgraded?"
Chen Zhong’s heart raced. Though there were few shooting skills, and he didn’t even have badges for finishing chips, curved shots, or headers, on the one hand, badges are not rewards given to you for reaching certain stats, but assets you gain, allowing you to perform at a higher level.
On the other hand, such traits gave Chen Zhong motivation.
After all, even for long shots, different players have different feelings.
Some people’s long shots are like arrows piercing the clouds, an army arriving at the scene; others’ long shots are like swallows skimming the water’s surface, up and down; while others may not have much power but can skim the grass, flying close to the ground.
Traits allow Chen Zhong to draw from the strengths of many, like Chen’s Arc, to have his own characteristics, and grasp new weapons like the Super Violent Long Shot, learned from Cristiano Ronaldo’s brand of power aesthetics.
It’s like chopping something, different angles, different methods.
Shifting focus from shooting, Chen Zhong looked at the [Passing] category.
In this category, Chen Zhong only had three Silver Badges.
[Badge: Quick Pass (Silver)]
[Badge Description: Increases first-pass speed, while improving accuracy.]
[Badge: Surgical Knife (Silver)]
[Badge Description: Your through balls are like surgical knives, easily tearing through the opponent’s defense, improving the speed and accuracy of the through pass, and increasing the arc during curved passes.]
[Trait: Chen’s Arc LV1]
[Trait Description: After being influenced by masters like Guti, Beckham, and Pirlo, you significantly improved in taking free kicks and developed your own characteristic arc.]
[Badge: Dispatch (Silver)]
[Badge Description: When making long passes, your passing accuracy is improved, and the ball speed is faster.]
[Trait: Chen’s Arc LV1]
[Trait Description: After being influenced by masters like Guti, Beckham, and Pirlo, you significantly improved in taking free kicks and developed your own characteristic arc.]
The passing interface with Quick Pass, Surgical Knife, and Dispatch, three silver badges, also matched Chen Zhong’s performance on the field. However, Chen Zhong noticed a detail, namely that both Surgical Knife and Dispatch had the trait: Chen’s Arc...
"Milan..." Chen Zhong muttered, knowing that before going to Milan, he was just a young player with pure defensive skills, but after Milan, he learned a lot, drawing useful skills from Kaka, Pirlo, Beckham, and Inzaghi.
Shifting focus from passing, he looked at [Ball Control]. For this category, Chen Zhong didn’t have many expectations, and indeed, he only had one [Rush] Silver Badge here.
[Badge: Rush (Silver)]
[Badge Description: Reduces dribbling mistakes, increasing dribbling speed.]
[Trait: Kaka’s Rush]
[Trait Description: Unique experiences in Milan taught you some tricks of Kaka’s rushing style, but due to body factors, you can’t become a second Kaka.]
"Kaka!"
"However, this trait can’t be upgraded..."
Chen Zhong mumbled, but considering his ball control and dribbling stats, and given his physique, not being as elegant as Kaka was understandable!
Perhaps in the future, he would have his own unique traits, maybe like a Tank? Bulldozer?
Chen Zhong didn’t dwell on it too much, just kept it in mind, thinking maybe in the future, through specific training, he could improve.
Next came [Defense], and at every mention of defense, Chen Zhong felt he was naturally gifted as a central defender or defensive midfielder.
In the defense badges, there were Golden Badges like [Anticipation], improving tackle ability, Golden Badge [Slide Tackle], improving slide tackle ability, Silver Badge [Interception], enhancing interception success rate, and Silver Badge [Burly Man], boosting physical confrontation capability.
With two golds and two silvers, that was top-tier.
"Pity..."
"Having played at the front."
"Moving back to play defense isn’t appealing anymore!"
In the past, Chen Zhong had no issues playing as a central defender to get some time on the pitch.
But now, although his capabilities are fitting, preferring defense isn’t his choice, especially since the higher-ups at Real Madrid, like Florentino, don’t want Chen Zhong to lean more on defense.
After all, in the world of football, attacking players receive more attention, fan love, and are more charismatic.
As for [Goalkeeper] badges, Chen Zhong didn’t even look. One, because there was no need, and two, he didn’t think he’d have any badges there.
His focus was on the final category, [Body].
In today’s football world, if you were to name the strongest players, Chen Zhong would certainly be mentioned.
With Chen Zhong’s 190cm height and 91kg weight, his physique speaks to how robust this player is.
Moreover, in the physique column, with his strength rising from an initial 88 points to an almost capped 96 points now, if his body badges were a bit better, wouldn’t that mean being unbeatable?
Filled with anticipation, Chen Zhong opened the body category.
