Chapter 7 Martin's Adoptive Parents

The Porto youth training base does not count investment in all echelons, and the performance of food, clothing, housing and transportation is particularly obvious.

The chefs in the player restaurant of the youth training base must have the highest nutritionist license.

Not to mention the freshest food, each player’s meal is prepared by a nutritionist according to each player’s recent physical needs.

But the taste of a nutritious meal, hehe...

Before crossing, Martin was already used to heavy oil and spicy food, the kind that he likes all kinds of spicy food.

When I went to Longguo before, I also ate a fake nutritious meal full of color, flavor, and taste, but now I switched to a real nutritious meal with a bland taste, which is somewhat difficult to swallow.

The fruit salad and fresh juice are okay, but the steamed chicken breast, pure steak and blanched broccoli are a bit difficult to eat.

"Is it that bad?"

Felix said playfully.

"Then you finish eating right away, right away."

"Wait."

Felix took out a bottle of seasoning from his satchel and sprinkled it on the food.

Oh, it's a bottle of pepper.

Good guy!
Martin snatched the pepper from Felix's hand and sprinkled it on the chicken breast, steak and broccoli as if it was free.

Added some pepper, the taste is finally better.

Took less than 10 minutes to scrape through a pile of food.

Eat and drink enough, followed by a scientific lunch break.

The afternoon training time is from 02:30 to [-]:[-].

……

After an hour and a half of training, Martin took the initiative to stay on the training ground after waving goodbye to his teammates.

There are two reasons.

One is to understand through the system wizard that training for a certain attribute in the real world can also increase the value.

To double the effect, you can also purchase efficiency packs through the system store.

The young man is not deceived.

The price of twice the efficiency is 100 green coins, the quadruple efficiency is 1000 green coins, and the eight times efficiency is 10000 green coins.

The effect lasts for one week, but does not stack.

The slight disadvantage is that the training efficiency package for each attribute only takes effect for two hours a day in the real world and the system training ground.

Four hours in total.

However, if you want to improve efficiency through special training for attributes, you must purchase the corresponding 'course' in the system mall, otherwise it will not take effect.

I have to say that the system guide is still very talented in sales.

It can make people pay without anyone noticing.

Martin only had 1000 green coins and bought a double-efficiency package.

You have to set aside Lvyin coins to buy 'courses'.

After taking a look at the [Cross] course, Martin called him a good guy.

200% efficiency is only sold for 100 Luyin coins, and the course is actually sold for 500 Luyin coins...

Fortunately, the course is permanent and valid after purchase.

In addition, there are achievement rewards for continuous additional training, and you can get freely allocated attribute points.

If you practice continuously for one week and no less than one hour a day, you can get 1 point of free distribution attribute.

If you practice for at least one hour a day for a month, you can receive 5 points of free distribution attributes.

If you practice for one consecutive season (from the start of the season training to the end of the last official game of the season), you can receive 60 points of free distribution attributes for no less than one hour per day.

Match days are not counted.

After completing the additional training for the whole season, there will be an additional talent/skill lottery opportunity.

It's a pity that the reward for additional training for one week and one month is once every season, otherwise you can get more attribute point rewards.

Consume 500 Luyin Coins to buy [Chuanzhong] 'Course', and consume 100 Luyin Coins to buy 200% efficiency package.

Martin immediately ran to the right side of the court, set up footballs one by one, and started sweating cross training.

This scene happened to be seen by U17 head coach Simon and youth training director Paul Noga who were talking in the office.

The two looked at each other, and each saw a trace of relief in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, a thin figure also came to the training ground...

Martin, who was concentrating on extra training, saw his teammates coming to the training ground from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and asked curiously, "Joao, don't you want to go home?"

"I did not come to U15 until I was invincible at U17. Today I saw that you have become stronger. To be honest, I feel pressure, so I don't want to see you secretly continue to become stronger."

Felix raised his head, and his flowing long hair parted naturally: "Of course, you can also understand that I am here to practice with you. I see that you are always running to pick up the ball. The passing points for cross practice are single and lack of support. Variety……"

Martin took a deep look at Felix, but he didn't tell the truth. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, partner, you said it."

"Hey, I, Joao, have always said what I said, and I will do what I say, but..."

Speaking of this, Felix changed the subject: "But can you have at least half an hour of one-on-one offensive and defensive training with me later?"

The pain of personal training is that it is boring and tedious, and it is easy and trouble-free to have someone to train with.

At least, there is no need to pick up the footballs one by one after kicking a round of crosses.

The system guide also mentioned that you can only practice extra training, and there are no specific requirements.

"no problem."

……

"Ding! The host has completed two hours of [Chuanzhong] targeted training. It is time for the 200% efficiency increase in the real world today, and the training effect has returned to the default value."

Hearing the system prompt, Martin looked up at the progress that only he could see.

[24%]

It means that the training progress for the attribute reaches 24%, and when the progress reaches 100%, the [Cross] attribute will automatically increase by 1 point.

It is worth mentioning that after the value rises to 70 points, the effect will be reduced by 50%, and when it reaches 80, it will be reduced by 50%.

It is also true that the free distribution of attribute points is particularly important.

Therefore, completing main missions, side missions, achievements, and obtaining attribute points has become the focus of becoming stronger, so as not to indulge in training and miss the main task.

In addition to attribute point rewards for completing the above content, there are also rewards for greatly improving abilities such as talents and skills.

Martin didn't feel tired at all after more than two hours of extra training, but Felix was so tired that he collapsed directly on the grass, breathing heavily, and his chest heaved violently could tell that he was really tired.

He smiled and picked up the footballs scattered on the field one by one, put them neatly in the four-wheeled football storage cart, and handed them over to the equipment manager.

"Martin, thank you."

Sousa smiled and patted Martin on the shoulder: "Additional training requires perseverance. Your year-end assessment is coming soon. I hope you can graduate smoothly and enter the U19 youth team."

"Thank you for your blessings."

The two chatted awkwardly, and Martin found a reason to drag Felix back to the locker room, each throwing sweaty jerseys and equipment into the large clothes basket at the door.

He took a shower, changed into his own clothes, and waved goodbye to Felix at the gate of the training base with his large travel bag.

They go back to their homes to find their mothers.

……

When I got home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

Miguel Mario was sitting on the sofa watching TV with his legs crossed, and turned his head when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Seeing that it was Martin who came back, he snorted softly and looked at the soap opera on TV again.

His left hand patted his wife Clara Anna, who was already asleep on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "The child is back, go and heat up dinner."

Anna stood up subconsciously when she heard the words, got up and ran to the door excitedly, and gave Martin a big hug: "My child, you are finally back. Mom misses you so much. Did you feel wronged in Longguo?"

"No."

Martin shook his head and laughed.

"Then sit down first and watch TV with your dad, and I'll heat up dinner."

"it is good!"

The two sat on the sofa separately, and neither of them spoke.

In fact, Martin felt very guilty. His adoptive father and adoptive mother adopted his predecessor in Longguo 16 years ago, treating him as his own, and giving him whatever he wanted.

He never concealed his life experience, and even supported going back to Long Country to find his biological parents after he became an adult...

The former fell in love with football under the influence of the two. In order to better receive football training, the couple also sent him to the Porto Youth Academy through their relationship.

Fortunately, the predecessor showed good football talent and gained a firm foothold in Porto's youth teams at all levels through hard work.

Adoptive father Miguel Mario is Portuguese and adoptive mother Clara Ana is Argentinian. Martin naturally obtains dual citizenship of Portugal and Argentina.

The couple are very affectionate, and they discussed it early, no matter which country Martin chooses to represent in the international A-level competition in the future, it will be fine.

Unexpectedly, the adopted son gave up his Portuguese and Argentine citizenships without warning more than a month ago, and chose to re-naturalize Longguo through naturalization.

Clara Anna has no objections, she thinks that the child will eventually leave when he grows up, besides, the Dragon Kingdom is still Martin's motherland.

Miguel Mario was nearly sick with anger.

Of course, he was only angry at the time, and after a few days he calmed down, he naturally accepted the reality.

Because they taught Martin to be independent, self-reliant, confident, and determined since he was a child.

Martin's choice is also in line with the educational philosophy.

There is nothing wrong with taking back the nationality that originally belonged to you.

But accepting reality is accepting reality, and Miguel Mario was angry that this kid didn't even ask a symbolic question.

Could it be that he is the kind of rigid father who is stubborn and unable to communicate?

Martin glanced at his adoptive father, his angry look was hilarious, his pouting mouth was similar to that of Lei Zhenzi.

He coughed lightly, suppressed a smile, took out a box from the large travel bag he brought back, and handed it to Miguel Mario.

"This is the favorite Imperial Roast Duck that I specially brought you in Imperial Capital, Quanjude, have you been hungry for several years?"

"uh-huh?"

Miguel Mario snorted arrogantly, and he was refreshed by the unique smell of roast duck emanating from the gift box.

The already hungry stomach let out a 'cuckoo' sound, and from the corner of the eye, Martin almost failed to suppress his smile.

Quickly pinched the thigh meat hard before calming down, with a straight face: "Don't eat, don't eat."

"That's a pity. Since you don't want to eat it, I'll give it to Uncle John. He called me and asked me to remember to bring a copy back."

Martin pretended to be very disappointed, sighed and stood up.

"Stinky boy, did you do it on purpose?"

"Hehe~"

Martin sat back on the sofa and put his right hand on Miguel Mario's shoulder: "Don't be angry, it's a big deal that I will bring you Quanjude's Imperial Roast Duck every time you come back from Longguo, by the way... I also asked my friend (Daobao) I bought a lot of authentic hot pot base ingredients."

As he said that, he went to get the Chongqing hot pot base from the compartment of the travel bag, and suddenly remembered that the express package had not been opened in time, so he quietly tore it open, and put the package on the coffee table.

"How is it? My Mr. Miguel."

Miguel Mario glanced at the appetizing hot pot package and swallowed: "These two are just trying to get rid of me?"

"That's more than that. When I have time, I will make you spicy crayfish, pickled fish, and dried bullfrog..."

Every time Martin said the name of a heavy-flavored dish in Longguo, Miguel Mario's eyes flickered a bit more.

Obviously, he was already imagining that he was tasting the delicious food that Martin said.

"I also want to eat beer duck, golden drunk chicken, and hot and sour chicken!"

"All arrangements!"

In Martin's words, it is to promise first, and whether to honor it in the future depends on the situation.

Clara Anna, who was cooking dinner in the open kitchen, smiled happily as she listened to the conversation in the living room.

The father and son finally returned to their usual warm scene.
