Chapter 533: 533
Dai Li was excited . Not only had Shawn Ford just won the gold medal of the men's 200-meter, but he had also been promoted again .
It took a while for Dai Li to make it from where he started to being a mid-level famous coach, but this process was much faster than he expected . Dai Li would have had to wait a long time to be promoted if it weren't for the Olympics .
So far, the US team had won 18 gold medals in track and field . This brought him a wealth of experience that helped him get promoted faster .
Before the awards ceremony for the men's 200-meter, Dai Li logged into the system and to see the rewards he got this time .
I hope this time I will get something useful .
Two rewards appeared in front of Dai Li . On his left was a cylinder with a lot of what looked like bamboo sticks inside . On his right was a golden badge with words on it .
Dai Li was familiar with the badge, it was a title prop . Dai Li had gotten the title of "concatenate" before, which enhanced the tacit understanding between players . Dai Li won the relay race of Asian Games with this title .
However, this time the badge was golden, so it looked more advanced than the one he had won before .
Dai Li picked up the badge and found several words on it: evenly matched .
"Evenly matched? Is this a new title? What's the function?" Dai Li asked .
"The so-called "evenly matched" tile puts your athletes on par with their opponents . It creates a close game . " The system went on to explain . "For example, if your athletes are playing a table tennis game, when you wear this badge, it will be a close game . At the end of the game, a clear winner or loser cannot be distinguished . "
"A close game? A match must have a result, who will be the winner or who will be the loser?" Dai Li asked questioningly .
"It depends on luck . The victory belongs to the lucky," the system answered without hesitation .

"In other words, it is possible to lose . Why would there be such a weird badge? The point of playing is to win . If I use this badge, it would be difficult for me to predict the result of the game . The badge is useless!" Dai Li complained .
"Of course it works . If your athlete is much weaker than his opponent, then at least he can compete with him . Even if he loses, it won't be too embarrassing . If he is lucky enough, he will win," the system said . "The title is different from the title you won before . 'Close game' acts on the whole game . When you use it, the other props and skills that are part of the game lose their effect until the end of the game . "
"So, as long as I use it, then such things as status scale and morale booster will be useless the game is over until the end of the game, right?" Dai Li asked immediately .
"You are right, but athletes' patches and age-reduction cards stay effective because they do not directly effect on the game," the system added . "The second limitation is that this title can only be used in one-on-one sports . For example, it can be used for tennis, badminton, fencing, boxing, judo, wrestling . This title is not allowed in such sports as track and field, shooting, diving, gymnastics, and swimming . "
"That is to say it can only be used in those sports where two athletes face off against each other, right?" Dai Li asked .
"It can also be used in team sports, such as basketball, football, and volleyball . In those sports, there can still be confrontations on two sides, so the 'evenly matched' can be useful," the system answered .

Li nodded, but he didn't know how to make use of this title now . If he used it to make the weaker lose respectably, just as the System had told him, it would not be that helpful .
Dai Li put the new title aside, pointed to the cylinder and asked, "What's this?"
"It's a prophecy box for drawing lots," the system answered .
Hearing the word "prophecy", Dai Li could not help but feel refreshed . He immediately thought of predicting the future .
The system went on to explain . "The prophecy box can predict the results of the decisions you make . It can tell you if the decision will result in the luckiest draw, a lucky draw, a general draw, a bad draw, or the worst draw . The luckiest draw is the best decision, while the worst draw is the worst decision .
"For example . If you are the head coach of a football team and your team isn't score, you need to substitute a player . You have to draw lots . If you get the luckiest draw and it reads replace player B with player A, then that is the best decision you can make at the time .

"If you get a general draw, and it reads replace player B with player A, then it means it is a neutral decision . If you get the worst draw, and it reads replace player B with player A, then that is the worst decision you can make . "
Dai Li nodded, "I get it, it means the cylinder is useful . As long as I draw lots several times, I'm sure I will get the luckiest draw, which means I will always make the best decision . "
"That's impossible . If you go to the temple to draw lots, it is impossible for you to draw lots until you get the luckiest draw . You have only one chance . Take the example I gave earlier; if you decide to change a player you've only got one draw," said the system .
Dai Li shook his head disappointedly . "As you have said, it will be useful if I get a lucky draw or the luckiest draw, but it will be useless if I get a bad draw or the worst draw . I'm not going to make a terrible change based on the worst draw .
"But if you get the worst draw, you can avoid a terrible choice," the system added . "If you already know a choice is terrible, you can avoid a wrong decision . "
"You've got a point there . Just as you said, this is a useful prop . " Dai Li thought of those TV quiz shows, where there was always an option to "get rid of one wrong answer . " For a multiple-choice question with four alternative answers, getting rid of one wrong answer was very helpful .
In fact, in a formal game, coaches had limited options . Being able to get rid of the worst decision meant the chances of making the right decision drastically increased .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
