Soccer: If they're using these kinds of cheats, what's the point of training?

"Oh, can we eat first and then start cooking, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll choose a room first."

"Why bother choosing a room? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the living room? It'll be more convenient for everyone." Lina gave Zhang Kuang a flirtatious wink.

"Wow, what you said makes so much sense! Come on, come on, let's have a three-hundred-round battle after dinner."

"Don't be so forceful. My legs were trembling when I woke up today, and I had to support myself to go to the toilet. I'm only now feeling a little better."

"Hehe, okay, I'll skip one of your interviews today."

As he spoke, Zhang Kuang walked to the dining table, threw his luggage aside, hugged Aisa and Matilda, and then sat down to eat.

"How is it? Is it authentic?" Lina asked curiously.

Zhang Kuang curled his lip: "It's not authentic at all, but it tastes better than bread and French food. After a few days, I can finally eat a normal meal."

Oh, by the way, I'm going to the Chinese supermarket tomorrow to buy groceries. I'll cook you authentic Chinese food. Would you like it spicy or not spicy?

"Oh? You can cook?"

Aisa exclaimed.

Zhang Kuang said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Is it surprising that Chinese men can cook? Forget it, you don't understand. In most Chinese families, men do the cooking."

Having worked as food delivery drivers for many years, cooking is a basic skill for them, and they often cook to save time.

According to her memories, the original owner of the body who transmigrated also knew how to cook. After all, she depended on her father for survival, so it would be quite inconsiderate of her not to cook for herself.

At this point, Zhang Kuang glanced at the open kitchen: "We do have a range hood, but no wok or seasonings. I'll buy them tomorrow."

"Oh? Really? Then we can try authentic Chinese food. Oh, by the way, you're an athlete, aren't you supposed to have a scientific diet? Can you eat Chinese food?"

Zhang Kuang: "Chinese food is scientific; it's not that only Western food is scientific. Besides, it's others who pay attention to their diet, not me. I'm the special one. I just need to eat well, drink well, and sleep well, and I can surpass others."

Zhang Kuang wasn't the kind of person who just used the "Heaven Rewards Diligence" system and exploited himself. He had the "Dual Cultivation to Immortality System," which allowed him to achieve immortality through dual cultivation.

If dual cultivation is already so painful, can't he at least enjoy some delicious food?

Is there any justice left? Is there any law left?

"Hmm... okay, I'm finished eating. Come on, who wants to go first? I can satisfy your requests, whether it's in terms of position, time, or force."

Zhang Kuang winked at the three women, who exchanged excited glances.

"Let's draw lots," Aisa said.

"good!"

The next day, Zhang Kuang kept his word and went to the Chinese supermarket early in the morning to buy an iron pot and some vegetables, mainly seafood, fresh meat, chili peppers, and seasonings. Of course, he also bought an iron pot and a rice cooker.

Unfortunately, neither of these systems provided him with any personal storage space, otherwise he would have been even more awesome.

It was almost noon when we got back to the house. The three women had gone to school. Zhang Kuang simply made himself a Mapo Tofu Rice, which he ate with great relish, a truly soul-stirring experience.

The ancients were right: food and sex are human nature, but food comes first!

After finishing his meal, Zhang Kuang went to the indoor training room that his agency had arranged for him. He wasn't really going to train there; he was just going through the motions, afraid that his lack of enthusiasm would affect the agency's motivation to arrange special training for him.

The 9 points of health he gained last night are the key to improving his skills, not training.

Speaking of this, he really has no interest in adding those 9 points of health, because adding just that little bit won't affect his attribute improvement at all.

This skill point allocation is really a trap; you can only allocate points to specific sub-items.

He now needs to slowly accumulate Qi and Blood Points and then add them to his heading ability. Currently, his overall striker rating has the lowest score in [positioning], and of course, [shooting] is also starting to drop; a score of 70 for [shooting] is no longer enough.

I need to raise my positioning skill to 70 or higher first, and then increase my heading accuracy in heading. That needs to be at least 75 or higher. Right now it's only 66?

Hmm, with the 9 new Qi and Blood points, isn't that exactly 75 points?

Add points, add points, system, I want to add points.

In an instant, he increased the [Heading Accuracy] score from 66 to 75, raising the overall [Heading] rating from 79.5 to 81.75. Meanwhile, the overall [Forward] rating also rose from 79.63 to 80.19, surpassing 80 points.

Tsk tsk, they haven't even started competing yet, and they're already at 80?

Okay, okay, okay, this is good.

Zhang Kuang was immediately pleased with himself and spent some time playing with the ball by balancing it on his head in the training hall.

After training, he would go back to his apartment to cook dinner, and then they would practice their arts together. It was truly a blissful life.

Meanwhile, Jonathan LeBron was conducting in-depth analysis with his colleagues at the company, deciding which team to send Zhang Kuang to.

The company's scouting director, Luca Moretti, said: "If we're talking about Ligue 1, Auxerre is probably the most suitable team because they rely too much on defense. Their attack... to be frank, is not even as good as a relegation-threatened team like Le Mans. It's really terrible."

The problem is, Auxerre can't afford high wages, and I think it's a bit of a mismatch to send a striker like Zhang Kuang, who's close to 80 points, here.

Clara Leroy, the company's business director, interjected: "If we're talking about salaries, then the entire French league is not suitable. After the 08 financial crisis, none of the top five leagues can afford to pay high salaries."

Ligue 1 is widely considered to have the lowest salary levels among the top five European leagues, far behind the English Premier League and La Liga. For example, this year's Ligue 1 player salary rankings show almost no Ligue 1 players on the list.

The threshold for making the list is an annual after-tax salary of approximately £2.5 million, a figure that would be considered the salary of a core player for a top club like Lyon or Marseille in Ligue 1 today.

Jonathan laughed: "Right now, Zhang doesn't want to make money, he wants to be famous. Ligue 1 is just a stepping stone, not the finish line."

Luca: "Then why not send him to Serie A, La Liga, or the Bundesliga?"

Jonathan: "First, our connections in these leagues are far less extensive than in Ligue 1, so it would be very difficult for us to get a Chinese player into these top leagues."

Secondly, regarding the timing, we can send Zhang to a Ligue 1 team with a one-year contract or a contract with a low transfer threshold, because if they can't offer a good salary, then they can offer a more lenient transfer threshold.

Third, if we transfer Zhang to one of the other four major leagues now, although he will temporarily receive a higher salary than in Ligue 1, the contract length and breach of contract issues will become a constraint for us.

Therefore, I prefer to send Zhang to a Ligue 1 team. What we need is to make him stand out as much as possible when selling him to another league. Also, although his test data is good, no one has actually played on the field yet, so who knows what his true quality is?

At this moment, the company's young boss and CEO, Mesa Ndiaye, clapped his hands: "Wow, Jonathan, you are mature and steady. You are exactly our best choice."

Zhang's test data is very good, but we need to verify its quality, not only for our benefit but also for the market.

If he proves truly amazing after half a season, then... hehe, maybe he'll be the next Mario Balotelli, becoming a superstar.

Okay, let's continue our research and see which Ligue 1 teams are suitable for sending Zhang in to perform.

Luca: "Auxerre is the most suitable, there's no other like it."

Mesa nodded. "What are your opinions?"

They all nodded: "Of course, it's Auxerre."

Mesa: "Alright, let's use our connections to contact Auxerre. Of course, we also need to have a few backup teams. You know, don't put all your eggs in one basket."
