Chapter 399: Chapter 398: Huo Li’er’s Red Wine, Gerard’s Captain Armband
Last season, Deng Kai’s height shot up continuously, and with ample games and training, his personal data experienced explosive growth.

Overall Technical Rating 75, Overall Physical Rating 80, Overall Rating 76.9.
Compared to the last overall rating of 61.2 and the very original overall rating of 51, wouldn’t it be fair to describe it as explosive growth?
Meanwhile, his other attributes also improved.
Vision has gone from level 8, brought by Guardiola, to level 9, brought by Pirlo, just one step away from max level.
Just who will provide max level vision?
Is it Xavi, who’s just starting his career?
Or is it Teacher Ding, who’s about to join the Henk youth academy?
Left foot ability has improved to level 4 from the previous level 3.
Right foot ability remains at level 8, seeming to have plateaued. It appears that level 8 could very well be the growth limit for Deng Kai’s dominant foot, and any further improvement would require a stroke of luck.
Either by coming back from a leg break or waiting for a top right-footed shooter like Ronaldo to drop related items.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo has been stingy, not dropping anything for a long time.
Could it be that as an opponent, he drops items more easily?
This... Ronaldo, if you don’t start being more generous, beware that I might just sell you off!
The Injury Resistance attribute has grown from level 4 to level 6, a significant increase, moving him out of the glass man category.
This attribute isn’t very useful in the Portuguese league, but in the big five leagues, especially the English Premier League, it’s more valuable than any other attribute.
Because the physicality in the English Premier League is so intense, many players who never get injured elsewhere suffer from injuries there.
Eleven-year-old Hazard: Are you sure?
Form Consistency has risen from level 5 to level 6, which among young players, is considered an exceptional level of stability, preventing him from having wildly inconsistent performances.
All in all, Deng Kai’s attributes are outstanding among players under twenty years old.
And with the boosts from various skills, items, badges, and star player drops, he basically has the level of a core player for an average team in the big five leagues.
But the role he plays in crucial moments is even stronger than that.
Additionally, another piece of good news has also arrived.
Deng Kai’s standard height grew from 1.72 meters to 1.78 meters.
He grew again!
Hathaway’s face lit up with joy, "You’re eighteen and you’re still growing?"
Deng Kai: ???
Deng Kai: I’m only sixteen, of course, I can grow!
Hathaway’s face turned red, and she covered her face and fled. Chinese homophones are really annoying.
However, as Deng Kai’s abilities improved, the system’s basic rewards and corresponding scores diminished.
With this trend, once Deng Kai’s individual ability reaches 85, every improvement should be very difficult.
"Ding! You have obtained the superstar drops ’Enrique’s Notebook of Factionalism’, ’Grass Pounded by Babel’, ’Huo Li’er’s Red Wine’, ’Gerard’s Captain Armband’."
"Enrique’s Notebook of Factionalism: Enrique is definitely a man of clear likes and dislikes, and finding a Real Madrid player in his Spanish team would be nothing short of a miracle. Players in the team who agree with your leadership develop faster and maintain good form more steadily. Players who disagree with your leadership grow slower and are more prone to fluctuations in form."
"Grass Pounded by Babel: Missing championships repeatedly left Babel in grief-stricken rage, pounding the turf to vent his dissatisfaction. When you pound the turf, there is a chance that your speed, strength, and combat abilities will increase for five minutes. The effect is not stackable and can be activated up to six times in a single match."
"Huo Li’er’s Red Wine: Liverpool’s coach Huo Li’er brought great variability to the game with the bottle of red wine he requested during the half-time break of the UEFA Cup final. If your team did not score in the first half, using this item will boost your attacking capability in the second half; if you scored in the first half, it will enhance your defensive capability in the second half. No players or spectators will experience any discomfort from heart-related illnesses during the game. The effect lasts for a season."
"Gerard’s Captain Armband: Captain Gerard’s rallying cry is an everlasting memory for Liverpool fans. When you raise an arm without the captain’s armband, it increases the likelihood of teammates passing the ball to you. When raising an arm with the captain’s armband, it forces teammates to pass the ball to you, and this effect can be used only once per match."
!!!
Clearly, there was a lag in the system.
The superstar drop from Enrique should have appeared after the match with Barcelona.
This effect, well, is very in line with his future reputation, an absolute tool for internal strife.
Of course, Young Master Kai is not that kind of small-minded person like Enrique. How could he be harmful to his own teammates? He really isn’t trying to dominate anyone; he just wants to lead everyone to grow quickly!
Ronaldo, Kaka, Vidic, Evra, Reina, Tu Lei... this is all for your own good!
But on another note, compared to Barcelona, Liverpool is really going all out, yielding three superstar drops in one go.
And almost all of them are miraculous.
No wonder Liverpool made it to the finals, while Barcelona could only settle for a Mazda.
Huo Li’er’s Red Wine even reflects the spirit of humanism, caring for everyone’s health, and protecting the hearts of the players and fans.
If Deng Kai does not create a sensational season, he would really be letting down this bottle of red wine.
"May there be no red wine in heaven," Deng Kai mourned for Huo Li’er, who passed away years later from a sudden heart attack. If possible, he would remind Huo Li’er and those around him then.
"What?" Hathaway, recovering from the embarrassment of Chinese homophones and her head buried in Deng Kai’s arm, asked.
"Nothing much, it looks like we’re about to arrive," said Deng Kai, squeezing Hathaway’s hand.
Minutes later, the pair stepped out of the luxury car provided by the organizers and onto the red carpet.
Suddenly, flashbulbs were blazing.
This was the London Grand Theater.
Hathaway’s new movie "Tomb Raider" premiered in North America on June 15th, accumulating a box office of 48.2 million US dollars in the first three days.
Not only did it sweep the box office championship for the week, but it also secured the third-highest June movie revenue in North American cinematic history.
According to authoritative media forecasts, "Tomb Raider" breaking the hundred million US dollar mark in North America is a sure thing, and it may even reach one and a half billion US dollars.
There’s a chance it will enter the top ten box office charts of the year in North America, and it has already done so for the meantime.
Hathaway is now touring globally for the movie’s worldwide box office, and London is the first stop.
Considering her popularity in Europe and her boyfriend Deng Kai’s influence from securing the treble this summer, the global box office for "Tomb Raider" should look very promising.
It might even experience the rare event of its global ranking surpassing its North American box office ranking.
Honestly, the producers of "Tomb Raider" should give Deng Kai a big red envelope.
Furthermore, given the modest production costs of "Tomb Raider" and the lackluster box office history of video game adaptations, Hathaway’s "Tomb Raider" has created a miracle this time.
This was not as easy as her turning a low-budget American girl flick into a box office hit.
This directly showcased Anne Hathaway’s box office power.
For a time, Hollywood began referring to Hathaway as the "Box Office Elixir."
Her slightly declining movie offers exploded once again.
The producers and director of the epic movie "The Lord of the Rings," which Hathaway stars in and will premiere at the end of the year, frequently express in the media that they are very optimistic about the market response to The Lord of the Rings, at least in terms of box office.
Inviting Hathaway to play the role of Arwen was their most correct decision for this drama.
Insiders revealed that the producers had made requests to the post-production team to increase Arwen’s screen presence as much as possible and edit her to be more like a "main heroine."
This kind of news is usually met with resistance from fans of the films and the books.
But this time, with the boost from "Tomb Raider," everyone was satisfied with the decision.
