Leo Lin quickly opened the attribute interface to check his updates.
Attacking Midfielder Section:
"The host's physical or ntal attributes related to this role will receive additional nourishnt. At the sa ti, the host gains 20 attribute points, which may all be allocated to a single attribute."
The previous set of 20 points had gone entirely into Strength. This ti, Leo Lin didn't hesitate—he poured all 20 points straight into Explosiveness.
With the Wind Chaser Kaka skill already unlocked, and now combined with short-range explosive power, his overall ability was bound to improve across the board.
Especially in central dribbling. In transition monts between attack and defense, Leo Lin genuinely couldn't think of anyone who could stop him now.
After opening the full attribute panel, it was clear that weeks of training and matches had led to all-around growth. So of his current stats were as follows:
Host: Leo Lin
Height: 1.85 m
Weight: 77.2 kg
Penalty Area Finishing: 79
Long Shots: 81
Attacking Positioning: 79
Short Passing: 80
Vision: 82
Stamina: 83
Explosiveness: 99
Speed: 80
Tackling: 79
Defensive Positioning: 79
Dribbling: 80
Several attributes had already reached or surpassed 80.
After the additional 20-point boost, Explosiveness shot all the way up to 99, breaking past the 90 mark just like his Strength.
With a more complete skill set, and the perfect fusion of Explosiveness and Strength, Leo Lin was already itching for the next match.
Premier League Round 18 saw Liverpool face newly promoted Fulham, with Klopp opting for a fully rotated lineup.
He wanted to focus entirely on the upcoming key fixtures—his starters needed rest.
Fulham had been the biggest spenders in the previous sumr transfer window, determined to establish themselves in the Premier League.
However, eight of the eleven starters were new signings. With chemistry close to nonexistent, they failed to execute their tactics and quickly collapsed across the pitch.
They now sat third from bottom in the table, with relegation looming.
Fulham's biggest problem was their chaotic defense. Even after 17 league matches, the head coach still hadn't settled on a starting back line.
After already cycling through two managers, each new coach had to rebuild chemistry and experint with lineups that suited their own philosophy.
Once the match kicked off, Fulham steadily retreated, showing no real signs of improvent.
Their leaky defense was brutally exposed by a Liverpool side in peak form. Even youngster Ibe found the net, capitalizing on repeated golden chances.
17th minute!
Ibe breaks through one-on-one and calmly slots the ball ho!
33rd minute!
Ibe dribbles through on his own, wins a foul in the box, and converts the penalty to complete his brace!
In the second half, Emre Can scored directly from a corner, pushing the scoreline to 3–0.
80th minute!
Klopp brought on his starters to keep them sharp.
Leo Lin, Salah, and the others focused on controlling the tempo and easing themselves into match rhythm.
Leo Lin began testing his newly upgraded attribute—repeated bursts from a standing start, with no run-up at all. Relying purely on explosive power, he carried the ball past defenders again and again, drawing gasps from the Liverpool fans.
Each ti he prepared to accelerate, he could clearly feel the strength in his body fusing with his Explosiveness attribute, turning his instant burst into sothing frighteningly fast.
In pure acceleration alone, Leo Lin was more than a second quicker than the defenders.
That faster burst ant earlier positional advantage—and clean breakthroughs.
His dribbling ability had evolved as well.
On the touchline, Klopp's eyes glead. He exchanged a look with Krawietz, both of them seeing the sa shock reflected in the other.
"Boss… is it possible," Krawietz said quietly, "that Lin has improved again?"
Klopp wanted to nod—but hesitated. If that were really the case, Leo Lin's growth rate was beyond terrifying. This wasn't improvent anymore. It was evolution.
At full ti, Liverpool cruised to a comfortable 3–0 win over Fulham, maintaining their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Post-match reports flooded in, with many outlets focusing on Liverpool's dominance—and Leo Lin's newly displayed abilities.
As the Premier League approached its halfway point, England's famously vote-happy fans launched the Midseason Red and Black List poll.
Three players were selected for each list, representing the best and worst perforrs of the league's first half.

It was the segnt fans enjoyed most—and players feared most.
The Premier League officially hosted the vote. After millions of ballots were cast, the final results were revealed just 24 hours later.

Black List — Rank 2: Shelvey
Fan comnt: "My defensive style is fouling. Know why I'm bald? Because I'm a bully!"
Black List — Rank 3: Maya Yoshida
Fan comnt: "I admit he had ability once—but isn't life a bit too comfortable for him now?"
Next ca the Red List, the fan-voted best perforrs of the first half of the season.
Red List — Rank 1: Leo Lin
Fan comnt: "Only 18 years old. Afraid of physical play, afraid of derbies, afraid of conflict, gentle by nature—truly the most 'honest' man on the pitch!"

Fan comnt: "Do you know what a real carry-job looks like?"
Red List — Rank 3: Agüero
Fan comnt: "Small fra, still shrugs off defenders. Give him one chance and he scores. Injury-prone, undisciplined off the pitch—but damn it, when he plays, he scores."
