Just now when she leaned towards Gu Ran's bed, her bare toes hit a hard edge.

…It hurts so much!

The previous second, Sophie still had the image of a lady, but the next second, Sophie was crawling on the ground with her hair disheveled in pain.

Fortunately, Gu Ran didn’t wake up.

If I woke up at this moment, I would be scared to death by Sophie's appearance.

"Damn Gu Ran! What the hell is that? It's so hard!"

Sophie wiped the tears from her eyes and saw a wrapped gift box on the ground.

Sophie suddenly felt no pain! This is the gift he gave me! It's such a big box, the gift inside must be very valuable, right? Let me guess first... Is it flowers? Or my favorite doll? Or cosmetics? Perfume? Stockings? Or Bling Bling jewelry? ? ? Oh! I don't like these vulgar things!

Sophie covered her pounding heart, knelt down beside the gift box, and opened it with great excitement.

The first four volumes of "A Song of Ice and Fire" tied with a bow then appeared in front of Sophie.

Book 1: A Game of Thrones, Book 2: A Clash of Kings, Book 3: A Storm of Swords, Book 4: A Feast for Crows.

Neat and tidy.

Sophie: ??? I must have opened it the wrong way.

Sophie closed the box, took a deep breath, and reopened it.

"Game of Thrones", "A Clash of Kings"...even the order has not changed.

Sophie was stunned.

The gift Gu Ran gave me... was actually a book? ? ? Are you kidding me? ! ! He said I would really like this gift? Who gave him the courage! ?

In the era of my great-grandparents, picking up girls by giving them books was an old-fashioned way!

Sophie wanted to smash the book on the back of Gu Ran's head!

Wait, calm down, I can't do this...

Although everyone says that we southerners have bad tempers, I, Sophie, am definitely not a bad tempered girl.

Maybe Chinese boys are too reserved, maybe Gu Ran hid his love for me in the book, maybe there is a diamond ring in the book...

Sophie quickly searched around... Where is the diamond ring?!

Gu Ran! I hate you!

If I ever talk to you again, I will...

Sophie stamped her feet in anger, and the pain in her toes instantly made her unable to straighten her back.

It hurts!

Gu Ran, this is all your fault! Okay, I, Sophie, will accept your gift! I want to see what this set of books you gave me is about, and what you want to imply through these books! Sophie angrily picked up A Song of Ice and Fire and limped out of Gu Ran's room.

"Light~"

"Sophie Turner's negative emotion value is 100 points. System bubbles are being generated..."

Gu Ran was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the system prompt sound in his mind.

Beside the bed, a perfect red bubble has taken shape.

Gu Ran rubbed his sleepy eyes.

What the hell… What’s going on? Can I get talent point bubbles for free just in a dream? ? ? This must be a dream, right?

Never mind, just pick it up first.

Gu Ran grabbed it with his hand, then turned over and continued to sleep.

…

The next morning, Gu Ran woke up feeling numb all over.

There is hardly a muscle in my body that doesn't hurt.

The fatigue aftereffects of yesterday's game are now fully recovering.

This is a sign that your physical attributes are not high enough.

The higher the physical fitness, the lower the fatigue, and the faster the recovery rate of fatigue.

For an average person, it would take at least five days to a week to fully recover from the level of exhaustion in yesterday's game.

For a new player like Gu Ran, it takes three days to fully recover.

But three days later, a new round of group matches will begin.

During this period, you can only speed up the recovery by refreshing the upper limit of your physical attributes.

Gu Ran rubbed his arm and sighed.

At times like this, it would be nice if someone could give me a massage...

In the previous life, after playing baseball, the brothers would go to a regular bathing center.

Gu Ran was suddenly stunned.

etc!

Something seemed to have happened last night...

I seem to have picked up a talent point in my dream?

Gu Ran focused his mind.

Oh shit!

As expected, there is one more talent point!

No way? Giving talent points even in dreams? No, no, no!

Gu Ran suddenly noticed that the gift box originally intended for Sophie had been opened.

——It must be that Sophie came last night.

Then, this extra talent point should also have been dropped by Sophie.

But... why? Why would a girl feel so negative when she receives a gift carefully selected by a boy? This is really puzzling.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

In short, I picked up a talent point for free!

Gu Ran happily added this completely effortless talent point directly to the physical sub-attribute.

In this way, Gu Ran's physical attribute increased from 58 points to 59 points! Gu Ran took a deep breath and felt that the fatigue in his body was being repaired at an accelerated rate.

But that’s not enough.

If you want to fully recover, you need at least one more talent point.

For now, apart from playing with the future superstar Sophie, it all depends on picking up the results of the training.

As long as you collect 70 hours of football-related training results, you can redeem another talent point.

When the physical attribute reaches the passing line of 60 points, the body's fatigue can be almost restored in a day at most.

In addition, I am now only two talent points away from raising my personal rating to C level.

Tonight and tomorrow, I have to accompany Sophie to London for an audition.

It is really interesting to be able to personally participate in the rise of a big star.

Gu Ran couldn't help but look forward to it secretly.

Of course, before going to London, I have to find a chance to make some money.

This is not only about enjoying the trip to London, but also about preparing to move out of the Turner family after Sophie leaves.

In the past, Gu Ran took time out every day to bet on the “high odds” of gambling to increase his losing rate. Today, he can finally have a chance to win with high odds!

Tonight's game is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona at home.

This was also a game that Gu Ran was impressed with! Let's do it! Gu Ran struggled to get up from the bed with a grin, and walked out of the room holding on to the wall. While thinking about the spinach plan, he made himself a nutritious Chinese breakfast.

Breakfast was just ready. Before Gu Ran could sit down on a chair to enjoy it, Andrew, wearing a red and white bathrobe, came out of his room yawning.

"Hi, Gu."

"Good morning, Uncle Andrew."

"What do you do?"

"Eggs, steamed dumplings, milk, and assorted fruits."

"Oh, this thing...is it delicious?" Andrew stared at the fragrant steamed dumplings.

Gu Ran ate one on the spot and nodded, "It's just okay. It doesn't taste as good as the ones we have back home, but I can't ask for too much."

Andrew asked: "You are average, what is the specific level?"

Gu Ran explained, "That's right. It's a little worse than delicious, but better than not delicious. Oh, by the way, Uncle Andrew, there's the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tonight, Real Madrid is playing against Barcelona at home, why don't you buy two bets for fun?"
