Chapter 23 First Upgrade
It was just a practice match, why did we have to try our best, why did we have to fight for every ball, why did we run all over the field to hold on for one more shot, why did we have to fight for the ball even if there was no hope, why did we keep burning out the last bit of our energy?
Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?
The answer is neither; it was an experiment, an experiment on growth potential. After a fierce confrontation, it was finally time to present a conclusion report.
From Macdonald to Geelong, Gao Wen finally figured out the growth law of growth potential:
In the same game against the same opponent, the more difficult the situation, the tougher the situation, if his racket can complete the contact and accurately return the tennis ball to the court, the greater the growth potential.
Naturally, the stronger the opponent, the greater the pressure created, the more difficult the situation becomes, and correspondingly, the greater the rewards for growth potential.
It should be noted that if you just return the tennis ball to the court without any meaning, the opponent can kill it in one shot; or if it is a warm-up practice, both sides feed the ball to each other and play fifty rounds back and forth, then such "anxiety" is meaningless.
The growth potential will definitely increase, but the extent will be very limited.
Simply put, in the last point of Gao Wen's first service game, both sides kept switching between offense and defense. Gao Wen had the opportunity to score and Jilong also had the opportunity to win, but both sides continued the round in their best condition and finally ended the point with a wonderful extreme ball reception.
So, regardless of whether the point is scored or lost by Gao Wen, devoting oneself wholeheartedly to the intensity of the game can bring about a surge in growth potential.
It is precisely because of this that the system requires Gao Wen to "fight for every ball", but it does not mean that he simply returns the ball to the field every time; the system can see Gao Wen running all over the field, but it is definitely not a meaningless pursuit of the ball. The ultimate goal is to require Gao Wen to improve the quality of the confrontation through his own efforts.
To return the ball, you must have a level! To play the game, you must have wisdom! From here, we can see that the system has begun to cultivate Gao Wen's "playing wisdom". He does not simply rely on physical talent to play, but takes his brain and thinking to the court. Every game and every set may change in a thousand ways, and even every point may have multiple changes of advantages and disadvantages. Players need to interpret the game at all times, gain experience, and continue to grow.
Why can the Big Four repeatedly create miracles? Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray are always encouraging and learning from each other. Behind every victory or defeat, every championship, the four top players are constantly improving, their playing styles and court wisdom are constantly changing, and they have jointly created an entire era.
If it was just the previous life, even with the system, Gawain probably wouldn't be able to see the deep meaning behind the growth potential growth law; but after experiencing the vicissitudes of life and the second chance, Gawain has a different understanding of life and tennis, and he can immediately feel the specialness of the system.
Perhaps, this is a kind of invisible tactical training?
No matter what, through this mini-match with Jilong, the growth potential reached 100% for the first time, and Gao Wen couldn't help but get excited.
How to use growth potential?
According to common sense, after the experience value reaches 100%, the next step is naturally to upgrade, but the problem is that there is no level number in the system panel, only a level title, but now the "Advanced" is still an Advanced, there is no change; and after the growth potential reaches 100%, there is no automatic upgrade, it is still accumulating.
So, where is the upgrade button? When my mind turned to this point, I seemed to be able to "see" a dark blue matte light appear in the other three attribute sections on the right page, rippling gently like the waves of the sea, pulling my sight focus to follow the light, and then I found the change -
There is a small plus sign after the physical attributes, technical attributes, and mental attributes.
Gao Wen was able to confirm and affirm that when he opened the system panel in the morning, there was no plus sign behind it, so the answer was clear.
After the growth attribute reaches 100%, you can add points to your personal attributes.
However, the most special thing is that in the personal attribute panel of "Tennis Training Master", there are only three total attribute options, and the specific values of the sub-items below cannot be seen, so naturally points cannot be added separately. This also means that the system will allocate growth values according to the host's own situation.
If Gao Wen wants to improve his strength or serve alone, he must train down to earth according to the training manual provided by the system.
This also verifies the "illusion" that Gao Wen had after practicing serving alone. Regardless of whether the serving attributes have really improved, this is indeed a speculation that conforms to the laws of the system.
Involuntarily, the focus of my sight fell on each attribute item——
I wonder if his attribute scores have increased through the mini-match with Jilong? After all, mini-matches are part of daily training, and this time Gao Wen really put all his effort into it.
In addition, Gao Wen did not forget the system's greatest advantage: doubling the training effect.
According to Gao Wen's speculation so far, the so-called "training effect" should only be indirectly related to the percentage of growth attributes, and it should directly affect the sub-items of each attribute, that is, to improve the training effect through system bonus.
In other words, everyone trains for one hour, but Gao Wen can reap double the effect, which directly affects the improvement of his own strength.
Naturally, mini-duel training should also be able to see the direct effect of the system halo.

However, this time it is a bit difficult because there are too many bar charts, and it is not a special training. It is possible that multiple items will show growth, and the growth rate may be very limited - after all, it is just a mini duel. In the absence of a goal and a reference, it is difficult to accurately judge whether the ups and downs of the bar chart have indeed increased.
But that's not a problem.
After waiting for the final exams to be over and starting formal strength training and other individual targeted training, you will be able to clearly see the specific status of each sub-item. The conversion rate between daily practice and attribute growth should slowly emerge with the passage of time.
No wonder it is so difficult to increase growth potential, because the core of the entire system is ultimately "training", and the complicated and diverse training manuals are the top priority; while growth potential is an additional benefit, rather than relying on quick growth potential, Gao Wen should focus more on daily training.
The strength accumulated through sweat will never betray you!
