Daily training tasks, competition tasks, special tasks.
So far, the system has a total of three task types. Lu Ke is already very familiar with daily training tasks and competition tasks; however, special tasks have never appeared until today.
What happened just now? A special mission triggered? Lu Ke briefly thought about it, but he didn't have any idea and couldn't find any clues at all. The problem was here: he didn't do anything! However, there's an easier way to find out: browse for a special mission and complete it.
“Special Mission: Hidden Future Superstars.
Mission description: During the rookie training camp, get to know future rugby superstars, improve your reputation, and take the first step on the road to becoming a superstar. Everyone will love you and flowers will bloom.
Mission requirements: Take photos with thirty potential superstars and post them on your personal photo wall (Instagram). Mission rewards: Physical fitness +1, mental fitness +2, tactical awareness +2, unknown quarterback training skill package +1, Unknown special skill package +1.
Failure penalty: The duration of daily training is doubled, and looking directly into the eyes of others triggers facial flushing for three seconds. "
"..." Sluggishness was Lu Ke's first reaction. He almost thought he was dazzled and saw something wrong. After blinking his eyes a few times, he realized that these words were projected into the brain by the system and did not exist at all. He needed his eyes to read it directly, so it was impossible for him to read it wrong.
"Xiao Qi, is this a prank?" This is Lu Ke's only thought now.
"No. This is a special task of the system." Xiao Qi's calm voice came over.
Lu Ke was speechless for a while, "Xiao Qi, to be honest, are you gloating now?" But Xiao Qi did not answer, which was expected. Lu Ke couldn't laugh or cry, "What kind of special mission is this? What kind of love does everyone have?" , Flowers bloom? What about taking photos with future superstars? Wait, what is a photo wall? I don’t even have an account, how can I post it?"
After browsing the entire special mission over and over again, Lu Ke still felt puzzled. The entire mission was full of humor and prank, "Also, the punishment for mission failure is to double the daily training time. I can understand this; but What the hell is that behind? What does it mean to look directly into someone's eyes, and then trigger a flushing state on the face? Does that mean that I will blush in shame? Jesus Christ, Xiaoqi, you don't know that I am a reporter, and I can't look into other people's eyes. Handover, taking the initiative to attack, is this my special skill? How can I be shy? This is not punishment, it is simply a shame! Then, you tell me, this is a special mission? "
"...Xiao Qi, tell the truth, this is a prank, right?" This was Lu Ke's only thought and the only reasonable statement.
In the past, daily training tasks and competition tasks were all so normal, step-by-step, and step-by-step. Why did the style of special tasks change suddenly? How is this going? And the gap was so big that Lu Ke began to wonder if there was something wrong with the system?
"Please pay attention to the mission rewards." This was Xiao Qi's answer, and then he said businesslikely, "The system will not play pranks or make fun of children. This is a serious mission. The triggering conditions for special missions are very strict and random. The system advises the host not to treat it as a game and miss the opportunity."
"Lu Ke, please call me Lu Ke. Every time you call 'host', I feel like a robot." Lu Ke rolled his eyes and complained.
Browsing the mission rewards again, as Xiaoqi said, the rewards are very generous.
Different from the basic point rewards for daily training tasks and competition tasks, the rewards for special tasks are no longer basic points, but directly determine the commendation items. Physical fitness, mental fitness and tactical awareness, a total of five points, are actually equivalent to five points. Basic points; more importantly, there are two unknown skill packages. I don’t know what surprises it will bring. The system’s output shouldn’t be too bad. It’s really exciting.
But why?
"Xiao Qi, did I offend you before and deliberately make fun of you, and now you are taking revenge? Honestly, right, is that so?" This is Lu Ke's only guess now. The punishment for failure is blushing? The shy one? If it happened during the rookie training camp and he saw any strong man and then blushed, he would definitely jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it off.
If he wanted to avoid punishment, it meant he had to complete the task, but... Lu Ke imagined the scene. He was like a fanatical little fan, eagerly following behind others, asking for photos, and then acting mean. Post it on a social network and shyly but excitedly ask for likes?
"Scared." Lu Ke started to shudder just by describing this picture. Yesterday's dinner was about to be shown and counted again. After thinking hard, Lu Ke found the only reason: Xiao Qi Gong wanted to take revenge. This must be the case!
"Xiao Qi, I don't dare anymore. I will never tease you again, I promise!" Lu Ke almost wiped away tears, but... Xiao Qi remained silent, with no intention of responding at all. , which made Lu Ke's howling awkward, and he could only stand there with a sad face.
After thinking about it, Lu Ke changed his strategy again, "Xiao Qi, can I give up the mission?"
"Abandoning is equivalent to failure. Special tasks are unique and cannot be replaced, abandoned, or repeated." Xiao Qi did not remain silent this time, but explained conscientiously, but Lu Ke felt that the calm tone was gloating.
But what can he do? You can't give up and you absolutely can't fail, then there's only one way left. Lu Ke wiped away tears. Why did he think the special mission was a trap?
After taking a long breath and finally calming down, Lu Ke read the mission description and mission rewards again, and then discovered some details of the mission description, "Xiao Qi, you mean, this mission is to improve my Reputation?"
"Yes, when people see each other, flowers bloom." Xiao Qi's cold voice, speaking such funny and funny words, doubled her joy. After the absurdity reached its extreme, Lu Ke couldn't help but hold his forehead and burst into laughter.
"What's the matter, buddy? Are you feeling unwell?" A teasing voice came from his ear, with a chuckle in his tone, but a friendly expression of concern.
Temporarily interrupting the thoughts in his mind, Lu Ke put down his right hand that was rubbing his temples and looked at the sound. Standing in front of him was a young black man with a slender figure and a well-proportioned figure. The warm smile on his lips and the raised eyebrows seemed to be making a grimace. His exaggerated expression made people laugh.
"No, I'm fine." The sharp-tongued Lu Ke, who was rarely at a loss for words, once again recalled the special mission in his mind and chuckled twice, "I was just... uh, just thinking about making some friends here. New friends; seems like a stupid idea now, though."
"Why?" The black man in front of him seemed a little restless, constantly moving left and right, and his shoulders and arms were shaking. "Is it because we have to compete to the death on the field in the future? Can't we be friends? Agreed. What about enemies on the field and friends off the field? Julio Jones, wide receiver."
As he spoke, Julio stretched out his right hand and took hold of Lu Ke's right hand. Then he retracted his elbow and bumped each other's shoulders to express his friendship.
"Lu Ke, quarterback." Lu Ke also introduced himself with a smile.
"Wow, man, this year is an extremely difficult year." Julio said meaningfully. He is a quarterback and an Asian face. This year is definitely making it worse - everyone thinks this is a four-year-old. In the new year of shooting guard, the competition is extremely fierce, and the living space left for Lu Ke is too limited.
Lu Ke shrugged, "Believe me, it's extremely difficult for me wherever I go, and it's the same in other years." Lu Ke gestured himself up and down. Chinese professional rugby players have a difficult time in any year and in any position.
Such a self-deprecating gesture made Julio highly praised. He raised his fist and placed it flat in front of him. Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his fist, and the two fist bumped. Julio said, "This is the kind of spirit that football needs. I'm optimistic about you! Maybe one day in the future, I can catch a pass from you."
Such kindness is really rare, especially in Indianapolis, especially after the little conflict in the bar just now, especially in the rookie training camp. In a few simple words, Lu Ke made a judgment that this was a friend worth keeping.
In sports, there are two types of people, those in the same camp and those in the opponent's camp. It's that simple. But sometimes, there is a third kind of person. Even if he is an enemy, he can still become a friend; because he is an opponent, he is a sympathetic confidant. The third type is the rarest, but also the most precious.
Looking at Julio in front of him, Lu Ke smiled generously, "First of all, I need to be included in the draft list." This self-mockery successfully made Julio shake his head with a smile, and then Lu Ke Ke followed the trend and said, "Can we take a photo together? I'll post it to the photo wall in a moment to make my presence known. Who knows, maybe I can use a little bit of fame in the next training camp."
"Of course it's no problem!" Julio took the initiative to jump to Lu Ke's side and performed the classic scissor hand - the problem was that Lu Ke hadn't had time to take out his phone yet. Such a proactive gesture made Lu Ke couldn't help but After laughing, Julio urged instead, "Brother, your speed is not good. The passing time is too long, and the defensive players will rush forward."
It was a rugby joke that came to mind, and Lu Ke laughed heartily.
Taking out his mobile phone and holding it up high, Lu Ke was about to take a selfie, but the next second he discovered that there seemed to be more figures in the photo of him and Julio, just like meerkats in the animal world, obediently raising their paws. He quietly came out and stood behind the "human", and there were more than one.
One, two, three... everyone made their own grimaces, one more exaggerated than the other, and made weird screams from their mouths. The photo of the two people immediately turned into a group photo; and, This is not the end yet. More and more people are coming to join in the fun. The development trend of things seems to be not quite right.
Lu Ke: Black people have question mark faces.
