Legendary Football Superstar

Short pass accuracy: 71 points; medium pass accuracy: 65 points; long pass accuracy: 82 points.

Crazy as it sounds, Luke's got the long pass down pat, even though it's the toughest to nail. You need serious muscle and strength for that. Next up is the short pass. Sure, he's only at 71 points, not quite hitting 80, but short passes are tricky mainly 'cause of those pesky defenders rushing and blocking. Without them in the way, Luke's still pretty solid.

Medium passes? Yeah, that's Luke's Achilles' heel right now. Getting the accuracy, power, and trajectory just right is a wild ride. Even with no defenders messing with him, his passes still go off course.

This so-called "simple" skill test gave Luke a clearer picture of where he shines and where he needs work. After nailing six long passes in a row, Luke took a deep breath, trying to chill out. But then, outta nowhere, a system prompt sound broke his focus.

Why the heck did the system prompt pop up all of a sudden?

Luke didn't rush to check it. Instead, he stepped aside, letting the number twelve quarterback take the field. As they passed, Luke shot him a smile and a nod, which the guy returned. Outta the corner of his eye, Luke spotted Cam nearby.

Cam looked like he was carved outta stone, stiff and awkward, practically screaming "stay away" with his body language. His eyes were locked on Luke with a glare that could freeze lava. You could almost feel the pain Cam was in, holding himself back from charging at Luke.

Luke quickly looked away and jogged back. Scott raised his right hand for a high-five, and Luke couldn't help but grin as they slapped hands. Scott, number nineteen, hadn't been tested yet and looked super nervous. But seeing Luke crush it gave Scott a bit of a boost.

Back with the other quarterbacks, Luke finally had a moment to chill and pull up the system in his mind. In the unread messages, there it was again: Special Mission!

Another special mission? Seriously? Not a single one in the past six months, and now, just three days into rookie training camp, he's got a second one? Are they handing these out like candy now? And what the heck triggered this one?

What if the special mission required him to start dancing weirdly on the spot, and

without any music? What would he do then? Dance or dance?

He opened the special mission and quickly skimmed through it.

"Special Mission: Self-Proof in Adversity.

Mission Description: During the skill test, complete a temporary small training game. In the training game, prove your ability to lead the team forward despite physical disadvantages! Take a solid first step on the road to becoming a top star!

Mission Requirements: Passing yards, over fifty yards; pass completion rate, sixty percent; pass target, a designated special receiver, successfully connect three times; defeat target, a designated special cornerback, successfully pass twice.

Mission Rewards: Speed +1, Strength +1, Acceleration +1, Agility +1, Jump +1, Throwing Power +1, Unknown Quarterback Training Skill Pack +1, Unknown Team Interview Opportunity +5.

Failure Penalty: Daily training duration tripled, frog jump 1300 feet in public (at least 100 spectators, or start over), shout 'Logan Newman is handsome' ten times in public (at least 100 spectators, or start over)."

Luke's first reaction? Total shock. He was dumbfounded, swallowed hard, and tried to speak again, but he still couldn't. Changing his posture didn't help; he remained speechless. After three seconds of mental freeze, Luke finally found his voice, "Seven, seriously, are you a spy sent by Logan?"

"Logan Newman is handsome," what kind of punishment is that? What kind of ridiculous punishment is that! If the system isn't in cahoots with Logan, he'll eat his own fist! What is this nonsense!

Luke blinked, his eyes full of disbelief, completely at a loss whether to laugh or cry. But in his mind, Seven's diligent voice came through, "The failure penalty is determined by the system based on the host's personal preferences, analyzing and combining the host's most unwilling and resistant thoughts. Special missions are unique, cannot be repeated, saved, or recreated. Extreme measures are necessary to ensure the host completes the mission."

As a journalist, Luke was truly at a loss for words, cornered by Seven. Luke was on the verge of tears, "You don't have to go this far. If the rewards were a bit more generous, I'd give it my all to complete the task. Look, with such rewards, I'd definitely work hard to finish it. But the failure penalties, isn't that a bit much? What if I fail?"

"Then just don't fail," Seven's calm words had a hint of schadenfreude. Luke choked and finally gave in.

Exhaling deeply, Luke carefully reviewed the entire mission again. Although this was the second special mission, all the content and requirements were different. No wonder they say special missions are unique; once missed, they're gone forever. The mission rewards were undoubtedly generous. All six basic physical attributes would increase by one point. It seemed the system couldn't stand Luke's poor physical talent anymore, which was really holding him back. No matter how outstanding his passing ability was, what good would it do? In an official game, he'd be like a paper doll, easily knocked down. No team would dare use such a quarterback.

So, the rewards for the second special mission were all focused on physical attributes, aligning perfectly with the trend and atmosphere of the rookie training camp. Could it be that the mission rewards also appear randomly based on the actual situation? However, since special missions are unique, and the failure penalties are as well, it makes sense that the mission rewards would have unique matching attributes. Besides that, there was an unknown quarterback training skill pack. Having just tasted the benefits of a skill pack the other day, Luke was now a bit excited. What surprises would this skill pack bring? Even if it was another passing skill pack, that would be great; and there was also a reward of unknown team interview opportunities?

Seeing this, Luke was directly shocked!

The rookie training camp is like a parade, with the ultimate goal of showcasing rookie abilities, giving league teams a more intuitive, direct, and comprehensive review opportunity to make draft decisions. So, on the last day of the training camp, after all the relevant tests are completed, the 32 teams will select players for face-to-face interviews based on their scouting reports, training camp tests, and other related data. Each team is allowed to interview 60 players, with a time limit of 15 minutes, and the interview questions vary. Not only do they differ from person to person, but each team also prepares its own interview questions. For example, the New York Giants spend two minutes conducting a small psychological test, asking players to choose between a series of two options to test their mental state and judgment ability.

The initial impression that team managers and head coaches have of a quarterback can significantly influence future draft decisions. Personality, attitude, demeanor, teamwork spirit, and more will all become auxiliary evaluation factors.

For example, in 2005, Aaron Rodgers was considered confident and arrogant, and difficult get along with by most teams during interviews. Coupled with scouting reports suggesting he was a system player with average abilities, Aaron, who had a chance to compete for the top pick, slid all the way to the 24th spot, where he was picked by the Green Bay Packers.

Since the number of players each team can interview is limited, and there are 332 players in the entire training camp, popular players like Cam are naturally in high demand. But for players like Luke, it's uncertain. However, it is certain that the more interview opportunities, the more chances to showcase oneself, increasing the likelihood of being drafted.

"Unknown team interview opportunities +5," this means that as long as he completes the mission, Luke can secure interviews with at least five teams, which is undoubtedly a golden opportunity. Lacking college career data and effective high school career achievements, Luke desperately needs more opportunities to showcase himself to secure a better position in the draft.

Crucial! Absolutely crucial!

Now, Luke could be 100% sure that special missions appear randomly, disorderly, uniquely, and based on real situations.noveldrama

But the problem is, this special mission is not a prank; it's a genuinely important task, and it's extremely challenging!

Passing yards and completion rate are not surprising; the key is passing to a specific receiver and defeating a specific cornerback. This means Luke's tactical arrangements are constrained. He must rely on his ability to seize opportunities and read defenses to find a gap and complete the mission as directed by the system.

What if the designated receiver is tightly covered with no chance at all? Or if the designated cornerback figures out his passing route and defends it strictly, what should he do then?

Among all the tasks so far, this special mission is undoubtedly the most difficult. At least for now, Luke doesn't see a solution. More importantly, a small training game? Why would there be a small training game? Even if there is one, how can he become the main quarterback for the training game? After all, he has twenty other competitors around him.
