At this moment,
Right before Kai's eyes—
Countless treasure chests of varying quality floated in midair!
[Rio Ferdinand "Chase & Block" Module! (1% drop rate)]
[Rooney "Mini Tank" Module! (1% drop rate)]
[Cristiano Ronaldo "Fancy Stepovers" Module! (1% drop rate)]
[Sterling "Happy Boy" Module! (5% drop rate)]
[Maguire "Aircraft Carrier Turnaround" Module! (5% drop rate)]
[Antony "Fainting Shot" Module! (5% drop rate)]
[...]
Kai was speechless.
An aircraft carrier turnaround? Fainting shot?
What the hell are these?
Suddenly—
Golden light burst forth!
Kai focused his gaze ahead!
[Ding! Congratulations, host has opened the England Random Star Chest!]
[Reward obtained: Team Soul Gerrard's "Cannon from Earth" Module!]
[Gerrard's Cannon: Greatly boosts long-range shooting ability! Shot power and long-range accuracy soar! As a midfield genius, how can you win respect without a thunderous long-range strike? Use explosive cannon shots to make the world remember your name!]
[Long Shot: 50 → 85! (Capable of continuous growth)]
A surging sense of power flooded his legs.
Gerrard's cannon!
Kai was overjoyed!
Gerrard!
The soul of Liverpool!
A legend at Anfield!
One of football's most fearsome long-range shooters!
No doubt, long-range shooting was a must for becoming a midfield master.
"There's still 10 custom attribute points left…"
Kai thought for a moment.
Then assigned all 10 to Short Passing.
[Short Passing: 70 → 80!]
Now, his short passing stat had reached 80!
Long pass at 100, short pass at 80!
Even if Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso or Barcelona's Xavi and Iniesta stood in front of him,
In terms of pure passing attributes, Kai had the confidence to rival today's top midfield maestros!
But suddenly—
A red frame appeared around Short Passing!
What was that?
[Notice: Attribute cap reached at 80. To unlock and exceed this cap, corresponding modules must be obtained!]
"So every attribute has a cap of 80?"
Kai understood.
80 was the dividing line between main starters and bench players in the top five leagues.
Through training and system-given attribute points, stats could only reach 80.
To break past this ceiling, he had to get related star player modules!
"Update attribute panel!"

Ring ring—
His phone rang.
"Kai, I watched your game! Absolutely brilliant!"
Fan Zhiyi's voice was full of excitement and praise.
"I saw your post-match interview... full of dominance! Just like your Uncle Fan back in the day!"
"If you really help Crystal Palace earn promotion this season... my god, that would be a feat written into history!"
After a pause—
"By the way, I'm still helping you sort out the agent situation!"
"Take care of yourself in England. Let me know if you run into any issues. I've got some connections with Crystal Palace's current management—I can talk to them!"
The call ended.
Kai lay back on the bed,
Thoughts naturally drifting.
With the system's boost and his hard training,
His progress was accelerating rapidly!
Soon, the Championship stage would be too small for his talent.
He was destined to step onto a higher and grander stage—
To chase an even more glorious chapter of life!
Knock knock knock.
A knock came from downstairs.
Puzzled, Kai went down and opened the door.
Under the night sky, standing there were several blushing girls!
"You are...?" Kai asked.
One sweet-looking girl was nudged forward by her giggling friends.
Hands behind her back, she didn't dare look up.
"Kai... we met earlier today. We're cheerleaders for the team. I'm Elina..."
"You were amazing in today's match! After your next game, could I... get one of your jerseys? I'll treasure it!"
"As thanks, I can come to your house every day and dance for you. I know many types of dance..."
Under the moonlight, Elina blushed intensely.
Kai, just 16, with a height of 185cm, lean muscles, short black hair, and a handsome face—
Radiated hormones far beyond his age.
Young and full of vitality!
The cheerleaders were practically starstruck.
Looking at them, Kai smiled.
"Sure. See you after the next match."
Hearing his agreement, the girls cheered and skipped away in delight.
Kai closed the door and went back upstairs.
He didn't overthink it.
Lying back down, he quickly drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile,
Far away in China,
A piece of news quietly climbed to the top of the DongQiuDi app.
"Dual discard of the National Youth Team and Barcelona shines in the Championship!"
Beneath the post was a highlight video of Kai's assist hat-trick.
Within minutes,
The post exploded in the Chinese football fandom!
In just half an hour, the comment count surged past 5,000!
