Chapter 5

After Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal to help Pulmes lead Helleburg 1-0, the defenders of Helleburg finally dared not underestimate him.

This also led to Jiang Xiaolin never getting such a good shooting opportunity in the following games.

Once, a reluctant shot from the side of the penalty area hit the goal frame, but was still saved by the goalkeeper.

This also made Jiang Xiaolin realize that the full-value shooting skill only improved his ability to hit the goal frame, but it did not necessarily score a goal.

This also depends on the defensive interference ability of the opponent's goalkeeper or defensive player.

On the contrary, Henik took advantage of the time when the defenders of Helleburg began to pay attention to Jiang Xiaolin and were a little lax in defense against him, and took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to score a goal and expand the score.

In the end, Pulmes defeated the visiting Helleburg team 2-0 at home.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Jiang Xiaolin heard the pleasant electronic sound of the system in his mind:

"Ding, congratulations to the host for scoring a goal in this game, and gaining 40 experience points. The current experience value is 40/100."

"Ding, congratulations to the host's team for winning the game, gaining 80 experience points, and the current experience value is 120/100."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing task 1, and gaining 100 experience points as a task reward, and the current experience value is 220/100."

"Ding, the host's experience value exceeds the current level limit, and meets the upgrade conditions. The host is upgraded to level 1, and the current experience value is 120/200."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading, and the reward attribute points are 10, and the current attribute point balance is 12."

Hearing the voice of the system, Jiang Xiaolin was about to open the system to take a look.

However, at this time, Jonathan, the captain and central defender in his 30s, came over, patted Jiang Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Jiang, you did well today and scored a goal."

Jiang Xiaolin could only temporarily ignore the system and thanked him flatteredly: "Thank you, captain."

Jonathan nodded and said, "Come on."

Then he turned and left the field.

Several other teammates next to him also gave Jiang Xiaolin a kind smile, and two of them also said "Come on" to Jiang Xiaolin like the captain.

You know, no one in the team had given him a good face before.

As a result, a goal today changed the attitude of many people towards him.

It seems that strength is indeed respected on the football field. Even if he is just a 16-year-old yellow kid, as long as he can score a goal, everyone will look up to him.

Of course, this is just an amateur game, a goal is not that important, and no fans come to him for autographs.

After the game, the audience left the stadium, and the players of both teams also left the stadium, drank water, changed clothes, went to the toilet, and prepared to go home.

There were a few full-time players in the team who were paid monthly and left directly.

Most of the part-time players lined up to get money from the coach, and Jiang Xiaolin was the last one.

When it was Jiang Xiaolin's turn, Fan De Nuo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiang, you performed well today and finally scored a goal. Congratulations, you can continue to stay in the team."

Jiang Xiaolin thanked him, "Thank you, coach, I will continue to work hard."

Fan De Nuo nodded, took out a stack of money, counted out a 100-dollar note and a 20-dollar note, a total of 120 euros, and handed it to Jiang Xiaolin.

Jiang Xiaolin happily took the money and thanked him again.

Scoring a goal today and winning the game again was the most he had ever earned playing football.

According to the contract that Song Zhicheng signed for him, Jiang Xiaolin's appearance fee and winning bonus for official matches in Pulmes are both 40 euros per game, goals are also 40 euros per game, assists are 20 euros per game, and there is also a 20 euros per game compensation for missed work for being selected as a substitute but not able to play.

Of course, Jiang Xiaolin has the lowest seniority in the team, and the appearance fees and winning bonuses of other players are higher than his. The names and amounts of bonuses vary depending on whether they are full-time and their positions.

If Jiang Xiaolin's income of 120 euros in this game is converted into RMB at the current stable exchange rate of more than 9, it is equivalent to him earning 1,000 RMB in one game today, which looks quite good.

But if you consider the extreme situation of only 4-5 league games a month, and some games without winning, scoring, or assists, and living in the capital of the Netherlands, a developed European country, this income is actually very low.

But for Jiang Xiaolin, this is already a high income like pie in the sky.

After all, when he was first deceived to come to the Netherlands, he could only be a wandering beggar.

After receiving the money, Jiang Xiaolin said goodbye to his coach and teammates, left the court, and prepared to return to the restaurant where he worked.

He was just a part-time player.He only trained with the team from time to time and played when there were games. His main job was actually working in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, about 2 kilometers away from the stadium.

It was the owner of this Chinese restaurant, Song Zhicheng, who took him in, gave him a job, and kindly recommended him to the coach of Pulmes, Van der No.

Otherwise, he would not know where he was begging and wandering, or even be sent back to his country!

After leaving the stadium, Jiang Xiaolin opened the system and read it while walking.

Anyway, the system interface is transparent, as long as you go slowly, it doesn't affect your walking much.

After today's game, Jiang Xiaolin's system level became 1, experience became 120/200, and attribute point balance became 12.

Then, he opened the package, and the "Level Gift Pack (Level 1)" could indeed be opened.

After Jiang Xiaolin opened the level gift pack, the lucky draw wheel popped up immediately. However, this time Jiang Xiaolin did not have the right to specify a skill to activate, and could only randomly draw.

Looking at the skills on the turntable, Jiang Xiaolin could only secretly pray that he would first draw a skill that he could use immediately as a striker.

Then, after Jiang Xiaolin clicked the red button in the middle, the turntable began to spin.

After a few seconds, the turntable slowly stopped. Then, the grid where the pointer pointed was written with "off-ball running".

The system voice sounded at the right time: "Ding, congratulations to the host for starting off-ball running. The host can use attribute points to add points to off-ball running."

Seeing the name of this skill, Jiang Xiaolin was a little confused.

At this moment in 2007, the football world's understanding of off-ball running cannot be said to be completely unaware, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone in the world knows it.

Perhaps professional coaches, sports journalists, and senior fans in Europe have begun to pay attention to and study this skill in depth because of Inzaghi, but ordinary fans really don't know much about it.

Especially for Jiang Xiaolin, a rural kid from China whose family conditions are not good and who does not receive timely information, running without the ball is a completely unfamiliar new term.

He didn't even know if this was a skill for a striker, nor did he know what it was for. Therefore, after opening the skill interface and seeing that his running without the ball value was 7, he didn't dare to add points.

He had to ask his boss Song Zhicheng what skill this was to see if he could use it, and then decide whether he could use attribute points to add points.
