Reward: one Passive Skill Card or 50 Passive Value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw this, Wang Shuo was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Seriously? That’s all I get for winning the season’s top scorer award?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does the Bundesliga’s top scorer title have so little prestige these days?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The European Golden Boy Award had given him a National Level Passive Skill Card or 150 Passive Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Bundesliga’s half-season championship came with a Regional Level Passive Skill Card or 100 Passive Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And the season’s top scorer only gets 50 points?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, Wang Shuo started to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prestige of the Bundesliga was indeed quite low at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the simplest example: player valuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transfermarkt in Germany is a widely trusted platform in the European Football Scene, and its player valuations are considered relatively authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ibisevic from Hoffenheim was 24 years old. Never mind his value after his severe injury; what was his valuation before it, back in January 2009?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful goalscorer who had netted 18 goals and provided 7 assists in the first half of the Bundesliga season, nearly helping Hoffenheim win the half-season title, was valued at 7.5 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right. You didn’t misread it. 7.5 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after suffering a severe injury, his valuation is 8 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems absurd?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, no. This is the normal price range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helmes, also just 25, a German national team player, scored 21 goals and is currently valued at 10 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note, this was a valuation Wang Shuo could look up right at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Griffith from VfL Wolfsburg, who just finished second on the scoring chart with 28 goals, had a market value of 11 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Griffith was already 30 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about Dzeko?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 23-year-old center-forward from Bosnia and Herzegovina was currently valued at 15 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Wang Shuo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a cent more, not a cent less. Exactly 12 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the highest offer from Bayern to Mainz was only 15 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the best striker in Germany right now? What was his value?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mario Gomez, who would turn 24 in July, currently had a market value of 23 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And mind you, Mario Gomez was Germany’s star starting center-forward. He had scored 24 goals in the Bundesliga this season, the most among all German native players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayern and Stuttgart were in talks, arguing over Mario Gomez’s transfer fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayern originally wanted to sign Mario Gomez for 20 million euros, but Stuttgart wasn’t happy, feeling it was too cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They later raised the offer to 25 million euros, but Stuttgart still refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuttgart’s desired price was 35 million euros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a clause in Gomez’s original contract with Stuttgart: if Bayern made an offer of 30 million euros by May 31st of this year, they could sign him from Stuttgart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bayern’s stance was to stick to the valuation from Transfermarkt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding all this, he finally grasped the true prestige of the current Bundesliga top scorer award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reward of 50 Passive Value didn’t seem so small anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering his personal interface in the Ball God System, Wang Shuo glanced over it. He now had a total of 214 Passive Value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the giant soccer ball again, gazing at the pentagonal panels, Wang Shuo’s heart filled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially his highest-level skill, [Breathing].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upgrading it from National Level to Intercontinental Level had increased the Passive Value cost from 50 to 100 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the improvement between the two levels of Breathing was tangible, and the effect was rock-solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Shuo had said before, the Ball God System had a very rigid, by-the-book style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What you put in was what you got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Wang Shuo had a very strong premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To upgrade from Intercontinental Level to World-level, it actually cost 500 Passive Value—a full five times the previous amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In that case, the improvement in effect after upgrading must also be more than five times greater.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It might even be a game-changing enhancement.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Shuo couldn’t imagine it right now. The Intercontinental Level [Breathing] was already so formidable; even if the World-level version was stronger, could it really be five times stronger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wouldn’t that make me Superman, with my underwear on the outside?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, there were levels above World-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How powerful would that be?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could a single person take down the entire opposing team?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo found the thought amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But based on his understanding of the Ball God System’s straightforward nature, it certainly wouldn’t go that far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, at his current stage, he couldn’t imagine what kind of improvements were still possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had no intention of saving up 500 Passive Value in the short term to upgrade [Breathing], which was already sufficient for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he spent 100 points each on the National Level [Ball Sense] and [Swift].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upgrade Passive Skill [Ball Sense] from National Level to Intercontinental Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upgrade Passive Skill [Swift] from National Level to Intercontinental Level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the two passive skill upgrades, Wang Shuo’s Passive Value was wiped out again, leaving him with only 14 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he now possessed three Intercontinental Level Passive Skills simultaneously: [Breathing], [Ball Sense], and [Swift].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the match against Bayer Leverkusen, Wang Shuo had already clearly felt that, at his current stage, [Ball Sense] and [Swift] were the most important skills, providing a direct boost to his on-field effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>",991,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.829Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","e058bd4c2b9d2f8e16172f1eddbc2e755e6678ea01477b7c4d818b9c942fc6bb","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-208","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-206",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
