After unlocking the fourth hidden attribute, Lu Ke finally had a vague idea of what these attributes really did. However, for now, everything was still in the speculation phase, and whether it was correct or not could only be verified in future games. But one thing was for sure: from today on, Lu Ke should pay more attention to hidden attributes.
Next, Lu Ke opened the objective mission rewards again: one development gift pack and one comprehensive training pack.
The so-called "development gift pack" was a training pack, but it wasn't for a quarterback. It was for other positions on offense: wide receiver, tight end, running back, center, offensive guard, and offensive tackle. However, the description of the development gift pack was too vague. The training for each position on a football field was different, and even for the same position, different players had different styles. If it was a team training pack, then it would be for training their chemistry, which made sense. But if it was a personal training pack, it would be unreasonable. For example, the training methods, focus, and even projects for Logan and Vernon were different.
Lu Ke communicated with Little Seven in detail and finally confirmed that this was a tailor-made training pack. Just like when Logan and Ginn were selected in the objective mission, this training pack also selected specific players on the team, and the system customized it based on Lu Ke's playing style. The important keyword was "based on Lu Ke's playing style." In other words, the development gift pack could be considered an extension of the team training pack. Rather than focusing on improving a certain player's individual ability, it was a training program that aimed to capitalize on their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses based on Lu Ke's tactical system.
This was a bit unfair because once the player was traded and no longer partnered with Lu Ke, the training effect would be severely weakened, and their on-field performance might also have a huge drop-off. But the system belonged to Lu Ke, so it was naturally built around him.
As such, Lu Ke's options were very limited. First, he couldn't just randomly pick a teammate and change their training content and framework. Not to mention whether the other person was willing, this move itself would be very strange. Second, after using the training pack, the player and Lu Ke still needed to train together to further improve the effect. Without much hesitation, Lu Ke decided that Logan Newman would be the lucky one.
The so-called "comprehensive training pack" was very complex and could not be described in a short amount of time. What was different from before was that this was not just a simple quarterback training but a complete offseason training. Lu Ke was just thinking about whether his daily training missions and goals would change after entering the offseason. Now, the comprehensive training pack gave him the answer: yes, they would.
After a quick scan, Lu Ke saw the corresponding strength training, weight gain training, explosive power training, and so on. It was clear that the system had come to the same conclusion: the ordinary day-to-day training had reached a physical bottleneck, and now he needed a strong dose of medicine to break through the bottleneck and re-enter the rapid improvement stage. Just by glancing at it, Lu Ke realized that this offseason was going to be very, very tough. It was perfect. He and Logan could train together.
Logan, who was gesturing and talking excitedly in the locker room, suddenly sneezed several times. "Achoo, achoo, achoo." After he stopped, he thought it was over, but he didn't expect to sneeze several more times. He just felt a chill down his spine, and all his hairs stood on end. What was going on? Why did he have the illusion that he had been sold out?
It must be an illusion. Logan shivered and drove the thought out of his head, then started gesturing again.
Before officially adding skill points, there was one last reward to be cashed in: the "Skill Point Exchange System." After a season of training, Lu Ke had gradually gotten used to all the surprises the system brought. Without any hesitation, he opened the mission reward, and then... "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The familiar azure page suddenly turned a brilliant red, like a beautiful, ever-changing sunset. The dazzling red became brighter and brighter, then lighter and lighter, until it all disappeared. The system returned to its original azure color, and Little Seven's familiar voice came to his mind, "Special reminder: The system has been upgraded."
Upgraded? Upgraded! Lu Ke's eyes widened. He never expected such a thing to happen! Since he got the system, this was the first time it had been upgraded. Was it because the regular season ended? Or was it because of the "Skill Point Exchange System" he just received? His intuition told him it was the latter.
The upgraded system didn't undergo a dramatic change. A new icon button appeared in the top right corner, constantly flashing and conspicuously reminding Lu Ke of the latest change. Originally, the top right corner showed the icons for base skill points, special skill points, and special skills, which he could view by pulling down. Now, all three icons were gone, replaced by a golden five-pointed star. It was particularly eye-catching against the azure background, showing its uniqueness.
After opening the five-pointed star, a simple and elegant page appeared in his mind. On the left was a list: base skill points, special skill points, golden skill points, and special skills like "Absolute Step" and "Bullet Time." A bold guess flashed in his mind, and Lu Ke immediately started to test it out. He selected base skill points in one box and golden skill points in the other. A detailed description immediately appeared below the boxes: "30 base skill points can be exchanged for one golden skill point."
"Hiss." Lu Ke instinctively gasped. His heart skipped a beat. He was right. As the words suggested, this was an exchange system. Skill points could be exchanged between each other, and skill points and skills could be exchanged. This was a groundbreaking evolution for the entire system, enough to cause an earthquake-like upgrade.
Before this, all skill points and skills could only be obtained through missions, and there was no other way. Moreover, the mission rewards were uncontrollable. He was basically in a completely passive position. What the system gave him was what he had. Starting today, all skill points and skills could be exchanged with each other. He could exchange them according to his own needs, improving his abilities more specifically and efficiently. The mission rewards still came from the system, but he could decide how to improve.
In the short term, when all his special skills were used up and he needed them in a critical moment, he could get them through the skill point exchange and achieve an immediate effect. In the long term, he could focus on exchanging all the rewards for base skill points and improve in a planned and systematic way, growing according to his own needs.
When he thought about it this way, the entire system became intricate. It was no wonder that this reward was called the "Skill Point Exchange System" because it was a complete system. If used properly, it could have an unimaginable effect. But even Lu Ke, with countless thoughts flooding his mind, couldn't fully sort it out for a moment.
However, when his eyes fell on the first detailed description, his hot, overheating brain instantly cooled down.
It was clear that the system was not omnipotent and could not be molded at will like clay. There must be many restrictions. The fact that 30 base skill points could only be exchanged for one golden skill point was the best proof. The importance of golden skill points was self-evident. It was the only way to break the full-score barrier. But if he were to win a golden skill point through a regular mission, the value would not be so high. It might only be worth 20 or 25 base skill points. But by using the exchange system to force an improvement, it was like a bank loan, and the interest had to be included.
After calming down, Lu Ke opened the "Skill Point Exchange System" instructions, and everything became clear.
One special skill point can be exchanged for three base skill points.
One golden skill point can be exchanged for 30 base skill points.
One golden skill point can be exchanged for ten special skill points.
One special skill can be exchanged for six base skill points.
One special skill can be exchanged for two special skill points.
All the exchange formulas were reciprocal. In other words, three base skill points could be exchanged for one special skill point, and so on. In addition, special skills and golden skill points could not be exchanged directly, and special skills could not be exchanged directly with each other. The base skill points and special skill points that were exchanged for a special skill could not be exchanged for a golden skill point or a special skill for one month. In short, there were a series of restrictions on selling all the special skills and making rapid improvements.
Nevertheless, the "Skill Point Exchange System" still opened a door for Lu Ke. At the very least, there were no restrictions on the exchange between special skill points and base skill points. His growth could become more planned and systematic from now on.
But the most important point was that he had to have enough skill points! In Lu Ke's current state, his base skill points and special skill points were always not enough. They were gone in the blink of an eye, and there were still many things that needed them. The special skills also had to be saved to be used at critical moments and could not be easily wasted. This also meant that even with the "Skill Point Exchange System," he might not be able to use it immediately. It was like a poor person who had an investment opportunity right in front of him but had no capital, and the bank was not willing to lend him money, so he could only watch.
His eyes once again fell on the golden skill points. Lu Ke, who had always been decisive, was a little hesitant for a rare moment.
