Chapter 1 Kristin. Cabrara Discovers Her Job Is Actually Quite Easy

Kristin Cabrara found her job to be quite easy, even though her employer paid her well. In fact, it was a reward set for a lot of work. Dracula had originally told her that she would not only be a bodyguard and driver, but also Chen Hero's translator and tour guide, and that she would have to accompany Chen Hero on all his outings.

She had prepared herself for this, but Chen Hero had never gone out to play once.

The beautiful and charming Bay of Naples has its splendor during the day and its charm at night.

There is a common saying in Italy: "See Naples and die." Naples is Naples, and this saying is so widespread that it is enough to prove the beauty of Naples.

But Chen Hero was like a man of few desires, turning a blind eye to the beautiful woman in front of him who had taken off her veil.

Every day after training, he would return to his room in the hotel and lock himself in the suite's bedroom, going nowhere. Then he would send Kristin Cabrara away to do other things, such as watch TV, go shopping, or even go to sleep, but she was not allowed to bother him or knock on the bedroom door.

Cabrara found it strange that this employer became mysterious as soon as he returned to his hotel room, locking himself in and not knowing what he was doing.

But she was a bodyguard, and her job was to protect her employer, not to explore his privacy, so even though she found Chen Hero a little strange, she ignored it. Chen Hero went into the bedroom and locked the door, and she would do some simple physical exercise in the living room, then take a shower and start maintaining her firearms. After all this was done, basically an hour and a half had passed. And the door to Chen Hero's bedroom was still closed. She would go directly to her own bedroom to sleep, which was next to Chen Hero's bedroom. She had made some adjustments to the furnishings in the bedroom, such as placing her bed close to the wall, so that she could easily hear what was happening in the next room, and if there was anything, she could know in time and rush over as soon as possible.

Chen Hero found it incredible that she had been tossing the furniture around in the hotel room. But Cabrara said that all this was necessary for his safety. Chen Hero was even more incredible - he thought that it was just the police scaring him, maybe they wanted to trick him into paying them to protect him. Anyway, their work was so easy, they came to the hotel at eight o'clock every day to escort him to the training base, and that was their work. They escorted him back at half past six in the afternoon. Then they got off work, and in the meantime, they were lying in their police car listening to the radio, or burying their heads in their phones playing games! Some even brought handheld game consoles to play games!

The police were like this, which showed that the so-called threat was just their exaggeration.

He himself felt that those extreme fans were just talking. Now that the violent protests were gone, it was estimated that everything would be peaceful.

He was even considering whether to stop letting these policemen take money out of his pocket.

He had already had a preliminary taste of the cunning of the Neapolitans.

So he was speechless at Kristin Cabrara's serious attitude towards this matter. He had advised her not to take it so seriously at the beginning, but Cabrara refused his kindness coldly, and he didn't say anything about it afterwards. Anyway, the woman was willing to toss around, so he let her do it.

When Cabrara was ready to sleep, Chen Hero was sweating profusely in the dungeon.

He was still deep in the Zenit St. Petersburg training base. There was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that he was most familiar with this place? He had previously tried to simulate the Volturno training base in Naples, but the simulation was virtualized, but the performance of his teammates was very stiff, not like humans at all, but like a group of zombies… He was not familiar enough with his current teammates, so naturally he could not 100% restore them.

Although Dracula had told him that the experience gained in training in the Volturno training base dungeon in Naples would be doubled, he could only look forward to that drooling share for now, and he had to honestly return to the Yevgeny Petrovsky Training Centre dungeon in Zenit St. Petersburg, which was a lower level.

Fortunately, although the level of the dungeon also has an impact on the training effect bonus, the impact is still very low, not as great as the impact on experience. Of course, if your low-level dungeon is a training ground dungeon of a certain club in China, the impact on your training effect bonus will be greater.

In simple terms, the impact of the dungeon on the training effect is related to the training facilities and level of the team in the real world. Zenit St. Petersburg's training level is not as good as that of Naples, but it has not reached the point of being vastly different, so the impact on the training effect is not significant.

In the Zenit St. Petersburg training base dungeon, Chen Hero would meet his former teammates every day, so he didn't feel like he had left these people for more than two months.

Today, as usual, after entering the penalty area, he greeted Arshavin and others in the dungeon: "Hi, guys, how are you feeling today?"

Of course, such an answer would not get any correct response.

Arshavin just kicked the ball to Chen Hero: "Practicing footwork again?"

After Chen Hero set the goal of practicing footwork, these virtual teammates would automatically conduct some dialogue and communication according to this goal, so that Chen Hero would not feel like he was practicing with a group of wooden stakes.

Chen Hero nodded: "Still doing the bicycle kick!"

Currently, Chen Hero is at level 27, but he is not far from level 28. From level 27 to level 28, he needs 40,000 experience points. His current experience points are 986,000, and he only needs 14,000 experience points to level up.

He leveled up to level 25 before the UEFA Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich at home, and put his talent points on "Strong as an Ox."

After that, his level gradually increased, and he broke through level 26 after winning the UEFA Cup. After the last league game on May 18, he took advantage of the holiday to practice hard in the dungeon, and finally leveled up to level 27. He maxed out the "Strong as an Ox" talent.

Then he set his sights on the technical awareness talent.

The talent he plans to add after leveling up is "Bicycle Boy," which increases the training effect bonus for learning bicycle feints by 10%.

The bicycle kick is not a fancy feint, but because of Denílson and Robinho, it looks fancy and useless.

But in fact, the purpose of the bicycle feint is not to go back and forth over the ball like Denílson, and then trap yourself in a dead end… but to make the opponent not know which side you are going to push the ball to, or simply break through in a straight line. It needs to be used in the right environment and in the right way to be effective.

Otherwise, no matter what environment you are in, if you just bury your head and go around, then the defender will watch you perform, and then directly poke the ball away when you are tired of going around.

Whether it is Ronaldo or Zidane, they often use the bicycle kick, but you rarely see them go around five or six times in a row, or even four or five times. They often just go around once, and then push the ball away. This is enough to deceive the opponent's defender.

In fact, this is the most practical bicycle kick. It doesn't need to be so fancy. It just needs to create an illusion of judgment for the opponent's defender in an instant, and that is enough.

Of course, if Chen Hero learns it, he must face the opponent's defender in the stadium and do ten bicycle kicks in a row, that is not impossible… He has such a perverse hobby - after learning a new skill, he wants to show it off to everyone…

In fact, the bicycle kick technique is easy to learn, but how to use it in confrontation, in the game, and at the right time requires a lot of practice. Any technique that you can't use in actual combat is equivalent to learning it for nothing. Chinese players generally have this problem. In normal training, their movements look quite stylish, and every move is like a model, but once they get on the field, they can't use any movements. So before, foreign coaches always said, "The ability shown by Chinese players in training is still good. If they can exert 70% of their usual training strength, they can do this and that…"

The significance of this dungeon for Chen Hero is that he can ignore the training plan of the club's coach and arrange highly targeted training content for himself. He knows what his problems are, so he focuses on practicing these problems, which means to make up for what is lacking.

To be honest, it is quite shocking to see Chen Hero, a guy who is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms, doing bicycle kicks on the field… He looks like a clumsy bear dancing with his hands and feet.

It is worrying that he will lose his balance and fall to the ground because his center of gravity is too high.

In fact, he was like this at the beginning. Because his upper body and lower body were not coordinated enough, he always fell while doing the bicycle kicks. Either his left leg tripped over his right leg, or he stepped on the ball, or he simply lost his balance and fell.

It looked really embarrassing. And because Chen Hero was too familiar with Zenit's training dungeon, and his teammates were too familiar with him, the production was very realistic. When he sat on the ball cart, those virtual teammates would even let out a burst of gloating laughter.

Chen Hero was very annoyed - it was fine if he was laughed at for sitting on a ball cart outside, but he was still laughed at in the virtual dungeon he created. This is like the people are laughing at the creator god as much as they can…

It was as twisted as it could be.

But fortunately, Chen Hero has a thick skin. He knew that it was useless to get angry with these virtual teammates, so he simply continued to work hard. He also figured it out that it was better to be laughed at in the dungeon than to be laughed at by opponents and those Naples fans who didn't like him in a real game, right?
