Dominate the Super Bowl

Adrian Peterson, widely considered one of the greatest running backs in history, is currently playing for the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.

Born in 1985, this player has remained active on the professional field for nine seasons in the NFL, although he was out for the 2014 season due to injury. He played in eight seasons, surpassing one thousand rushing yards in seven of those seasons, the only exception being the 2011 season where he ran for 970 yards.

Additionally, in 2012, he rushed for over two thousand yards and effortlessly picked up the regular-season MVP, becoming the only non-quarterback in the past decade to win the MVP.

Moreover, he’s been selected to the All-America First Team four times, the All-America Second Team three times, and the Pro Bowl seven times, leading the league in rushing yards in three seasons.

Efficient! Stable! Enduring!

Not only is he one of the five running backs in history to rush for over three thousand yards in their first two professional seasons, but he also became the third fastest running back in history to break ten thousand rushing yards.

Just this past season, Adrian Peterson still maintained his top form, making him the first running back over thirty to enter the All-America First Team.

Historical, splendid, and ongoing.

Undoubtedly, Peterson is currently one of the most elite and outstanding running backs in the League, and he remains so even when considering the lengthy history of the sport.

Li Wei’s starter package revealed a template of such a legendary star, a truly lucky draw.

Although Li Wei was completely unaware of Peterson’s illustrious achievements, the "S" rating didn’t lie; for Li Wei, that symbol was enough.

But how should a player template be used?

His gaze returned to the interface, and he used his brain signals to direct the player template into the template area on the left. The card naturally fitted into the first slot, and a figure of Peterson with the ball in a sprint lit up.

He continued sending signals, attempting to click on the Peterson template.

Whoosh!

The whole page transformed into a three-dimensional space that was more vivid than AR technology. His body was still outside, but his consciousness created a truly immersive feeling. He could genuinely feel gravity, and all other senses and perceptions felt extremely real.

An interface floated in front of him, neatly indexing a series of thumbnails by year, crowded together.

He randomly selected one, and immediately Li Wei found himself on the field—

"Minnesota Vikings VS Green Bay Packers."

Real games, real feelings, real experiences.

After some exploration, Li Wei finally understood the function of the player template.

He could enter Peterson’s body and experience any game in his style, including all NFL and NCAA games, feeling and experiencing how Peterson dealt with different situations.

It wasn’t just about Peterson’s power and sprinting; it was also about his style of play, his field vision, his judgment, his choices, his decisions, and his combat.

On one hand, it allowed a full-scale experience of a player’s method of interpreting a game.

On the other hand, it also facilitated the accumulation of real game experience.

Training system!

An idea struck him; this was the true essence of the "Football Training System." It didn’t directly add points or lead to immediate improvement but provided a template experience that he could use to train himself.

As for those trainings, how much strength they can convert and to what height they can develop entirely depends on the individual, specifically on Li Wei’s own talent… and the level of effort he puts in.

So, now that Li Wei could fully experience Peterson’s playing style, did that mean if another template appeared next time, he could preemptively grasp entirely different player styles, and by accumulating the strengths of various approaches, develop his own playing style, thus having an unlimited potential for growth?

On the spot, Li Wei briefly experienced it.

During today’s trial, Li Wei thought he understood Football to a certain extent, but only now did he realize that Peterson was the real beast, and the intensity of the NFL professional games had significantly increased, not just by a little.

That feeling was immersive.

It was completely as if he was actually in the game, although his body didn’t suffer any impacts, and the system had already turned down the pain sensation, those impacts, those suffocations, those boilings, those burnings, and so on, all felt unbelievably real.

After a detailed study, Li Wei noticed even more nuances.

First, the template training couldn’t carry over into real-world training, meaning Li Wei couldn’t maintain the state of being possessed by Peterson to participate in actual training; he could only try during times outside of regular training.

Second, the match recording didn’t have the latest season, updates only went up to two years ago, cutting off the possibility for players to explore professional team tactics by experiencing matches, serving only as a mere training system function.

So that’s how it is!

Exiting the player template training mode, Li Wei didn’t forget to check the time; the system to real-time ratio was roughly "5:1," which means five minutes passed in the system while only one minute went by in reality.

Now, with a clear idea about the player template, what about the other two cards?

The first card, Training Effect Doubling Card (twice).

After reading the card description in detail, it’s a card specifically effective for real-life training results, just by wearing the card, the effect of the training could be doubled.

Although doubling might not sound like much, combined with the player template, it could form a complement, one online and one offline, ensuring enhanced training effects.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the player is willing to train, to spend time and energy, then the system can perform its functions, otherwise, the system is just a decoration, and that’s the ultimate essence of the Football Training System.

The second card, Injury Negative Impact Reduction Card (10%).

After carefully reading the card description, Li Wei suddenly realized, this is the real jackpot—

A passive aura, automatically coming into effect when injuries happen, mitigating the impact of injuries on the body, and with the percentage increase, fatal injuries could be reduced to serious injuries, and possibly to moderate or minor injuries.

In competitive sports, injuries are the most daunting obstacles; countless geniuses and stars could not escape the impacts of injuries, but the problem is, injuries are a brutal reality in competitive sports that no one can avoid, the difference is only in severity.

All sports, all professional players face trouble from injuries when they retire because competitive sports ultimately are about challenging the limits of physical and mental endurance.

And in Football, with such intense confrontation, one could even say the sport is excessively brutal; injuries are common and play a pivotal role in a professional career.

Now, this card plays the role of a goalkeeper, armoring Li Wei with a layer of protection, although Li Wei’s understanding of the running back role was superficial, he still needed to gradually deepen his understanding, but Li Wei had an intuition:

Perhaps, this card is the trump card, the key capable of completely changing the game.

So, the question arises, is a 10% effect considered high or low?

Furthermore, more importantly, the newbie package has been used up, how should the next chance to draw cards be won?
