Seven Crowns

After the match with Fürth U19, Lu Wenbin, who scored four goals, was rewarded with 800 scoring experience + 400 winning experience. Lu Wenbin's level experience rose to 3212/5000 at level 8.

Then, after Ralph Lannick informed Lu Wenbin to report to the first team after the winter break, Lu Wenbin received three tasks issued by the system at one time.

Mission 9: German Bundesliga champions.

Mission introduction: The host has been approved by the head coach of the Hoffenheim first team, and will start participating in the Bundesliga with the first team in the second half of the season. Although Hoffenheim is a newly promoted horse, the club's goal this season is not to avoid relegation, but to directly upgrade the Bundesliga. However, that's just the club's goal. As a host with the assistance of the football championship system, the goal of the host is always the championship, not just promotion.

Mission requirements: lead Hoffenheim to win the German Bundesliga championship in the 2007/2008 season.

Mission reward: 5000 experience points + 5 skill points.

...

Mission 10: German Cup champion.

Task introduction: Hoffenheim has advanced to the round of 16 of the German Cup this season. Although the focus of the club this season is to upgrade the Bundesliga, it will not put too much effort into the German Cup. Moreover, after entering the round of 16, Hoffenheim's opponents are all Bundesliga teams, and the chance of winning the championship is slim. However, no matter how difficult it is, the host will always strive for the championship.

Mission requirements: Led Hoffenheim to win the German Cup in the 2007/2008 season.

Mission reward: 20,000 experience points + 10 skill points.

...

Mission 11: Double Crown.

Mission introduction: If the host can complete mission 9 and mission 10 at the same time, he will win the double crown in the first season of landing in Europe, which is undoubtedly a fascinating and extremely difficult honor. It not only requires the host to have outstanding technical strength, but also has sufficient physical strength and a healthy physique.

Mission requirements: Complete mission 9 and mission 10 at the same time to win the double crown.

Quest Reward: Turn on the hidden skill Injury Tendency +10 skill points.

Seeing the generous rewards after completing the three tasks at the same time, Lu Wenbin felt a little blood in his head.

Not to mention the reward of experience points, the 25 skill point rewards after completing the three tasks alone are enough for Lu Wenbin to upgrade 8 basic skill attributes.

There is also the hidden skill of injury tendency. After asking the system, Lu Wenbin learned that this is a passive skill to protect the host's health.

Injury Tendency has no potential value, only a number, the full value is also 20, but the effect is opposite to other basic skills: the higher the value, the easier it is to be injured, and the lower the value, the less likely to be injured.

After winning the Double Crown and completing Mission 11 to activate this hidden skill, the host can reduce the tendency to get injured by consuming skill points.

However, the skill point consumption of this hidden skill is very expensive, and it takes 5 skill points to reduce one attribute.

When the injury tendency is reduced to 0, no matter how the opponent fouls on the court, even if there is a malicious intentional foul behind the back, the host's body will automatically make an action to avoid injury, and the probability of being seriously injured is zero.

Such a skill is simply divine!

As long as Lu Wenbin reduces the injury tendency to 0 and increases his physique to the full value, it is estimated that he will have no problem playing until he is 40 years old.

The three tasks have a total of 25,000 experience points + 25 skill point rewards + unlocking hidden skills, such a generous reward was something Lu Wenbin could not have imagined before.

but,

Such generous rewards also illustrate the difficulty of these three tasks.

Bundesliga champions aside, the opponents of the German Cup are all Bundesliga teams.

As a newly-promoted Bundesliga player at Hoffenheim, it is difficult to fight against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04 and other Bundesliga giants and compete for the German Cup championship from them.

However, in order to unlock the hidden skill of injury tendency, no matter how difficult it is, Lu Wenbin has to work hard to complete these three tasks.

...

The next day, on December 16, 2007, the 17th round of the German Bundesliga officially started for Hoffenheim away against Fürth.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 4-1. The home team was in front and the away team was in the back. Hoffenheim lost a huge away game.

With such a performance, let alone the Bundesliga championship, it is very difficult to get the top three to upgrade.

Not to mention the poor defense in the backcourt, the three forwards Vedad Ibisevic, Demba Ba, and Chinedu Obasi did not have shooting boots in this game, wasting countless opportunities in front of the goal.

Hoffenheim's only goal in this game has nothing to do with the strikers. It was scored by the No. 23 Bosnian midfielder Sejed Salihovic with a free kick.

At the end of the game, the head coach Ralph Rannick looked rather unsightly, and he had already made up his mind that he must make changes in the second half of the season.

After 17 rounds of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim ranked 8th in the Bundesliga standings with 5 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses with 22 points.

Monchengladbach ranked first in the standings with 36 points, Mainz in second place with 31 points, and Cologne in third place with 30 points.

According to the current Bundesliga promotion rules, the top three can be directly promoted to the Bundesliga. However, this is also the last season the top three will be promoted directly to the Bundesliga.

From the next season (2008/2009), new promotion rules will be implemented. The third place in the Bundesliga cannot be promoted directly to the Bundesliga. It is necessary to play the promotion play-off with the penultimate place in the Bundesliga, and the winner can get the third promotion place.

Undoubtedly, that kind of upgrade is more difficult.

Therefore, this season is the last season of the old promotion rules, and it is the easiest for Hoffenheim to get promoted.

And now that half the season has passed, Hoffenheim is only ranked eighth, and there is still an 8-point gap to the third place. If you want to get the top three and upgrade to the Bundesliga, it is really a tight schedule and a heavy task!

Perhaps, in the second half of the season, Lu Wenbin can be regarded as a rare soldier in the first division, but I don't know if Lu Wenbin can compete in the Bundesliga. Ralph Rangnick thought so.

After the final round before the winter break, the club held an early Christmas dinner and then went on holiday.

The other players went home for Christmas and New Year, but Lu Wenbin did not go home.

Because the Western New Year is different from the Chinese New Year, German clubs have already started the second half of the season during the Chinese New Year.

In addition, he just received the call of the first team and received three new system tasks. Seeing those rich task rewards, Lu Wenbin was quite excited.

He doesn't want to go home and waste time, but stay in Germany to continue training to maintain his state, and step up time to learn German, so that he can better integrate into the first team after the winter break.

(PS: In the 2007/2008 season, Hoffenheim finally ranked second in the Bundesliga standings and successfully upgraded, but did not win the Bundesliga championship. They were 6 points behind the first place Monchengladbach. The German Cup stopped in the quarter-finals , was eliminated 3-1 by Dortmund in the quarter-finals.)
