Chapter 13: The Birth of a Billionaire Heiress
Because of the European Cup, Huang Kaiwen had forgotten all about the system upgrade.
When he opened it again, it indeed was different.
Huang Kaiwen heard the prompt in his mind, "Ding, the deluxe version of the King of the Ball System is activated, a deluxe gift package is included."
Player Strength: Not in the game (Superstar Experience Card Countdown 72 hours 13 minutes 22 seconds in progress)
Physical condition: Very average
Expectation Value: 70
Fate Value: 3.5
Skill: Drama King — Peak acting skills of Tom Hanks, how can a great player not know how to act? — Sergio Busquets.
Skill: Bring it on — When sniping opportunities from other players, a small chance to copy some of their characteristics.
Abnormal State: Prone to Injury — From the moment of stepping onto the pitch, the chance of injury increases by 100%, increasing by 1% every second, returning to the original injury probability after being sidelined due to injury, repeating cyclically, removed upon successful defense of the UEFA Champions League.
After choosing to open the gift package, a bunch of gifts immediately appeared.
"Ding, physical condition improved to the model of King Carlos Kaiser."
"Ding, acquired skill: Male BFF — Easier to gain friendship when interacting with females."
"Ding, abnormal state alteration: Prone to Injury — From the moment of stepping onto the pitch, the chance of injury increases by 200%, increasing by 5% every second, returning to the original injury probability after being sidelined due to injury, no fatal injuries, injuries won't affect physical functions, repeating cyclically, removed upon successful defense of the UEFA Champions League."
After the physical condition improved, Huang Kaiwen specifically ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, but his body hadn't changed at all.
However, the "Physical Condition" section in the system now showed "Excellent."
After all, Carlos Kaiser was only a sham when it came to playing, but his physical condition was still very good, otherwise, he wouldn't have managed to secure his first professional contract just by running.
Huang Kaiwen was quite satisfied with this, as any improvement was good.
As for the newly added skill "Male BFF," it was obviously a misunderstanding by the system; he really disliked being a male BFF. He always interacted openly with girls, never playing the male BFF role.
As for the last bit, the change in his susceptibility to injuries, the probability of getting injured had increased significantly, making it like he was always on the verge of being injured once he was on the pitch. He could form the "Trio of Sacrifices" with Vermaelen and Diaby, making Huang Kaiwen consider playing for Arsenal — after all, these injury-prone players were typical of Arsenal, so why not stick with them.
However, there was also a silver lining: at least there would be no fatal injuries, and injuries wouldn't affect physical functions. That was a relief, as it meant just suffering plain injuries without any residual effects, no need to fear dying on the pitch.
Compared to the initial version, it seemed more robust; after all, he was a VIP in the stands.
Whether he got injured or not wasn't important; even if the chances of injury were lower than now, what fun would his life have if his lower body were wrecked?
Noticing an additional fate point, it surely must be from Barbara.
"Change the fate of Barbara, one of the future management of Milan."
Click below to see fate unfold.
A vision appeared immediately.
"Barbara bets on the Greece team to win the championship, becoming a billionaire."
"Barbara is overjoyed, from now on she obeys everything you say."
"Due to differences in marital views, you break up, but Barbara still can't stop thinking about you."
"She occasionally chooses to mess around with you."
"You frequently get injured in Milan, causing Milan to prepare to dismiss you."
"Barbara is devastated when she hears this news, because there will no longer be a chance to see you after you leave. With so many female friends around this playboy, once you leave, she'll completely forget about her, so she decides to join the management of Milan and seize power."
"You scored the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League final again, and despite only playing 8 minutes the whole season, president Barbara still decided to give you a staggering contract of 8 million euros. This caused fan protests, but her stance was very firm."
"Some dissenters united, planning to revolt against you and Barbara's rule over Milan, but Barbara's subordinates discovered them in time. She successfully sidelined the management and her father, beginning to single-handedly control Milan... After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid with a huge annual salary, Milan immediately offered you a contract surpassing Cristiano's, net 12.5 million euros. Your salary had become a burden for the team. To support you, Milan could only use a lot of young players, but Barbara didn't care. Following your suggestion, Milan bought many promising stars, the team sold players, and made a lot of profit, then you renewed your contract..."
"Barbara tried to match your salary with Messi's but unfortunately failed; Milan couldn't sustain such a high salary."
"After turning 35, you took a pay cut, but you played another ten years before retiring."
"After retirement, president Barbara of Milan, in gratitude for your tremendous contribution, gave you a large villa in Milan City."
"Barbara lives next to your house. Although often jealous, she still finds excuses to visit, ending up quarreling and bickering with you for a lifetime."
Upon reading this, Huang Kaiwen was stunned.
Was this freeloading all the way to the end?
To prevent him from being ousted, Barbara played a drama with her siblings and father, similar to 'The Legend of Zhen Huan', successfully seizing power. Could this be the highest form of living off others in history?
Huang Kaiwen was somewhat impressed with himself.
It seems being handsome really does allow one to do whatever one wants.
After updating to the deluxe version, Huang Kaiwen's physical condition had greatly improved.
Barbara could hardly stand it.
On July 1, Greece faced the Czech team, which featured stars like Cech, Nedved, Poborsky, Rosicky, Baros, and Jan Koller. The Czech team had been performing exceptionally until then.
The Czech stars attracted plenty of attention, with many European heavyweights preparing to buy Czech players.
But despite battling for 90 minutes, the sides were inseparable. It took an extra-time silver goal to send Greece into the European Cup final.
All of Europe was astounded.
The wolf has come.
Yet not many truly believed in the Greek team.
The other finalist was Portugal, with the home advantage and possessing the 'Golden Generation'.
The team had big names like Figo and Rui Costa, and rising stars like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Aside from a lack of striking power, this Portuguese team didn't have many weaknesses.
As for Greece, they were full of flaws.
Getting this far in the European Cup was sheer luck, or perhaps Barbara had moved heaven itself.
By this scene, hardly anyone around the world believed Greece could defeat Portugal to win the championship, but the scoffing at Barbara ceased.
If Greece managed to reach the final, they were just one step away from victory. If they did win, they would be slapping faces.
Though 'Milan Sports Newspaper' was vocal, other papers were even harsher. After all, 'Milan Sports Newspaper' is owned by Be, and they still reserved some decorum when they spoke.
They had already started singing praises for Barbara.
The young lady had a good eye. If one day she really took over, playing them would be like child's play.
And Greece didn't let Barbara down, lifting the trophy when the match ended.
The whole world was in awe, a true football fairy tale of the summer.
Of course, the CEO of William Hill fainted in his own home—that was an 81-to-1 odd.
If he knew Huang Kaiwen planned to invest 10 million more, who knows if he'd survive.
