Huang Kaiwen had to deal with numerous football legends before he could finally escape.
He had no idea how he returned to the hotel.
Those legends were too much.
They kept pouring him drinks.
Even if it was champagne, drinking too much could still intoxicate someone.
As the winner of the Ballon d’Or, he became the most noticeable target.
While Huang Kaiwen was sound asleep on the hotel bed.
Back in China, seven hours ahead in time.
The news of him receiving the Ballon d’Or swept through all the headlines like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
In an age where print media reigned supreme.
Such a sight was frightening.
Even those who did not follow sports were startled by this momentum.
They discovered from reading the newspapers.
That a young Chinese man had achieved the highest individual honor in football, a sport dominated by Europeans.
Waking up from a hangover.
His head was splitting with pain.
He sat up in bed for a few minutes.
Only then did Huang Kaiwen recall everything from the previous day.
He had won the Ballon d’Or.
And he had connected with quite a few legends.
Mourinho, who had won the Best Coach award, also had quite a conversation with him.
But Huang Kaiwen couldn’t recall any specific details.
Then there was the system.
The system was the most important.
Huang Kaiwen quickly checked the system.
[Ding, successfully obtained the Ballon d’Or, the “I Am King of Football Deluxe Edition” will now undergo a non-stop upgrade, upgrading to the “I Am King of Football Ultimate Edition” in 72 hours]
[Ding, successfully intercepted Barça player Ronaldinho’s only Ballon d’Or, skill activation successful, trait replication successful]
[Ding, successfully changed the destiny of Ronaldinho, the Mr.
World Football, and gained 1500 destiny points]
[Ding, successfully altered the destinies of Brazilian players like Dida, Cafu, Kaka, Serginho, and Ronaldinho, including changing the destinies of Brazilian Ballon d’Or winners Kaka and Ronaldinho, obtained skill: Ginga Play]
Regarding the system upgrade.
Huang Kaiwen was already immune to it.
His system was all about infinite upgrades.
Compared to that, he was more interested in Ginga Play.
Skill: Ginga Play—slightly enhances ball sense, body balance, and flexibility.
Originating from Brazilian martial arts used to resist invaders, it was later incorporated into football; this style of play is fast and beautiful, often keeping the ball in the air rather than on the ground.
Brazilian legend Pelé was a master of Ginga Play, proficiency in this technique demands extremely high ball sense and physical quality.
Huang Kaiwen had never seen Pelé play.
But he had seen that movie about Pelé.
So he had some understanding of Ginga Play.
When using Ginga Play, the spectacle is stunning, the ball seems to grow on the player.
With his current level, he probably couldn’t maximize the power of Ginga Play.
But with an [Experience Card], it would be different.
Huang Kaiwen could imagine.
How shocked the world would be to see another Pelé!
At that time, he, Huang someone, could also say: “I dribble like Pelé.”
As for intercepting Ronaldo’s Ballon d’Or.
Copying two traits wasn’t a big deal.
After all, this should be the biggest opportunity in football.
Trait: Golden Prison Award (Ronaldinho)—Significantly increases affinity with criminals; they will not choose to target you or your friends and family.
Trait: Tail of the Bull Grandmaster (Ronaldinho)—Enables free use of the “Tail of the Bull” skill movement.
Huang Kaiwen didn’t know what to make of them.
Tail of the Bull was just one kind of dribbling technique.
Not as practical as fried meatballs, but better than bike riding.
[Tail of the Bull Grandmaster] was not bad.
Compared to a dribbling move, [Golden Prison Award] was more practical.
In Europe, crime was very common.
From petty theft to robbery.
Even Huang Kaiwen had been targeted several times.
Once, his car window was smashed and his bag stolen, another time his car itself was stolen.
Given how infrequently he drove, such things could still happen to him.
That showed the situation of security in Italy.
His house had been visited once too, but because the old butler was there, the thieves were scared away.
The more famous the football player, the more likely they are to be targeted by criminals.
There are many in football with experiences similar to Huang Kaiwen; some even had relatives kidnapped or worse.
Why do players in Naples have connections with the local mafia?
Not because they want to, but without knowing some powerful people, you really can’t guarantee your safety.
So this skill was very practical.
And most importantly, there were 1500 [Destiny Points]!
With the previous 3070, that soon reached 5000 [Destiny Points].
The rewards from receiving the Ballon d’Or were quite good this time.
[Ginga Play] should be a skill similar to [Fancy Dribbling Mastery] or even at a higher level, meaning if this skill was sold, it would probably require at least 3000 destiny points, possibly needing 5000 points or more.
Ronaldo’s two traits were both positive, at least worth 2000 destiny points.
Adding the destiny points from changing Ronaldo’s destiny, this entire wave of rewards from receiving the Ballon d’Or nearly amounted to 10000 [Destiny Points].
Huang Kaiwen was curious about Ronaldo’s changes.
He pressed on Display Destiny.
Images immediately appeared.
[Ronaldinho was cut off by you for the Ballon d’Or]
[Standing beside Lampard with second and third-place trophies, Ronaldinho resolves firmly to take back what he lost]
[20 days later, Ronaldinho successfully defends his title as Mr.
World Football, Ronaldinho thinks losing the Ballon d’Or isn’t a big deal, as revenging such things are a drag, and one should enjoy life in a timely fashion]
