According to the system description, the special skill of the free kick is not actively kicked by Lu Wenbin himself, but when this skill is needed, the system controls the host's body to kick the free kick.
When taking a free kick, the host becomes a spectator just like playing a game, watching his game character use skills.
Moreover, this skill has a cooldown time.
The cooldown time for primary skills is 90 minutes, for intermediate skills is 75 minutes, for advanced skills is 60 minutes, for master skills is 45 minutes, and for grandmaster skills is 30 minutes.
That is to say, if Lu Wenbin buys the basic skill now, he can only use it twice in a single game even with overtime: once within one or two minutes after the start of the game and once in the final overtime.
Of course, if he gets two free kick opportunities in a short period of time and Lu Wenbin needs to take the penalty, he can still not use the system skills and rely entirely on his own to kick the free kick.
The host's ability to kick free kicks can be learned and understood by the host when the system uses special skills.
When the system uses skills, although the host cannot control his own body, he can clearly feel the body's running start, force, kicking position, angle, etc.
As long as the host observes, feels, learns and trains carefully, he may eventually reach a level where he can hit the door frame with a 90% hit rate, surpassing the Grandmaster level.
This depends on the host's understanding and learning and training attitude.
Seeing that this free kick skill had a cooldown time but he could learn it, Lu Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if there are really two free kicks within 90 minutes in the game, you will not be able to take the second free kick opportunity.
Now, I can observe and learn when the system uses skills, and then play by myself when the skills are on cooldown during the game.
After reading the skill introduction, Lu Wenbin thought about it for a moment before using 5 skill points to purchase Free Kick (Basic).
Although he has 7 skill points remaining, if he uses them to upgrade his shooting attributes, he can directly increase them from 18/18 to the full value of 20/20.
However, in the German Second Division, 18/18 is equivalent to the shooting attribute of the top five leagues' Golden Boot level, which is completely sufficient and is definitely the level of the king of the penalty area.
Moreover, after playing a few more games, you will be rewarded with 10 skill points when you upgrade to level 11. It will not be too late to raise the shooting attribute to the maximum value at that time.
On the contrary, after purchasing the free kick skill, not only do I have an additional way to score a goal, but I can also start learning free kicks from now on.
The key is that a 50% goal frame hit rate for a beginner free kick only costs 5 skill points, which is not expensive.
Think about the various free kick masters in world football. If they can achieve a goal rate of around 10%, it is considered very impressive. Those who can achieve a rate of over 20% are absolutely rare.
With a 50% hitting rate on the goal frame, Lu Wenbin doesn’t know how much of a goal rate this can translate into in actual games, but he thinks it won’t be low.
Therefore, with this special skill, he can deter his opponent from committing fouls, which can reduce the risk of Lu Wenbin being violated and the chance of injury. The key is that it is cheap and has a very high cost-effectiveness.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin resolutely purchased the special skill of elementary free kick.
After spending 5 skill points to purchase Free Kick (Basic), the second special skill is lit up and the "Buy" button behind it turns into a "+" sign.
Lu Wenbin moved his mind over there, and the instruction on the “+” sign changed to: 10 skill points are required to upgrade the intermediate free kick.

Originally, there was a day of rest after each round of the league.
However, Lu Wenbin, who had just purchased a special skill, was itching to try it out and couldn't stay at home.
So, on February 11, Lu Wenbin did not study English with Fu Qingqing at home, but went to the training base to practice on his own.
Although there was a gate guard at the base, there was no problem for Hoffenheim's players to go in for extra training and improve their strength. The gate guard happily opened the door for Lu Wenbin.
After entering the training base, Lu Wenbin found the staff on duty and opened the locker room and equipment room.
After changing into training clothes and bringing a basket of equipment to the training ground, Lu Wenbin couldn't wait to choose a free kick penalty spot 25 meters to the right, ready to try out his special free kick skills.
After finding the penalty spot, Lu Wenbin placed several dummies between the penalty spot and the goal as a human wall to block the near corner, and then retreated to the penalty spot to prepare for the free kick.
Opening the system skill page, Lu Wenbin double-clicked the free kick (primary) skill with his mind, and the system popped up a confirmation window asking "Do you want to start using this skill?"
Lu Wenbin took a deep breath and clicked OK.
Then, Lu Wenbin lost control of his body.
Like a bystander, he watched his body carefully position the football, and after standing up, his eyes looked towards the goal behind the human wall.
At this moment, Lu Wenbin was surprised to find that a red "+" sign appeared in his eyes, jumping around in the four blind corners of the goal according to the position of the human wall and the penalty spot.
After jumping for a while, probably because the system determined which corner to hit, the crosshair was fixed at a position slightly inside the blind spot in the upper right corner, that is, the upper corner of the goal blocked by the human wall.
In actual games, the human wall usually blocks the near corner and the goalkeeper guards the far corner. If the free kick is hit at the near corner and falls within the goal frame, it will not be easy for the goalkeeper to save it. The system should choose the shooting position based on this principle.
Moreover, probably to prevent the ball from going out of bounds, the system also deliberately moved the crosshairs towards the goal.
Now the position of the crosshairs is not a complete blind spot, but it is not far from a blind spot.
If the ball can be shot from this position, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to save it.
After the position for knocking on the door was determined, the system controlled Lu Wenbin's body to move slightly to the left, and then slowly stepped back a few steps.
After retreating to an appropriate position and waiting for a while, the system controlled Lu Wenbin's body to start running.
Lu Wenbin clearly felt the running rhythm of his body, and then watched and felt the system controlling his body to stand in front of the ball with his left foot as the supporting foot, and use the inner instep of his right foot to kick the lower middle part of the ball.
While kicking the ball, Lu Wenbin's right foot moved to the upper right.
Then, Lu Wenbin watched the ball soar into the sky towards the right baseline, pass over the top of the right side of the human wall, draw an arc, and then go into the position just below the crosshairs.
Although it did not hit the target directly, it was still a very high-quality free kick.
If this kind of shot is made in an actual game, the goalkeeper will most likely not be able to save it.
This skill is really amazing, Lu Wenbin feels that it is worth buying.
