"Oh, my goodness !" Zachary hooted excitedly, despite himself. "Those are 8,000 Juju Points, plus an A-grade vitality-enhancing-elixir as rewards. With such a generous reward, I'll be able to raise my fitness to another level before next season for sure."
Zachary's hopes had already soared to another level after reading the mission completion ssage. With the mission reward of 8,000 Juju points, plus the 3,900 originally in his reserve, he possessed more than enough points to upgrade the system to the next level.
However, that was not what excited him the most. Instead, it was the A-graded vitality-enhancing-elixir that made his heart caper and threaten to jump out of his chest with agitation.
How could he not be excited after gaining such a reward!
The vitality-enhancing-elixir was the most miraculous of all panaceas Zachary had ever won from the system. Back when he'd just returned back to his past, it was a B-graded version of the elixir that had helped him heal his ankle injury and elevate his fitness significantly within a short ti. Its effects were beyond divine for sure.
Moreover, it was the perfect reward, gained right at a precise ti.
Zachary was sure that if he consud an A-graded version of the elixir, his fitness would soar to unprecedented levels within days. Either his agility or his body control would shatter the bottleneck that'd been holding back his advancent before long. If he was lucky, he might even raise both attributes to that almost inhuman level of the S-grading within a short while.
Zachary's heart was agitated as various thoughts flashed through his mind. He was even starting to feel a bit feverish at that mont as the need to improve his abilities was weighing on him heavily. It almost prompted him to open the system shop imdiately, to obtain the elixir, and then consu it right there and then.
However, he took a deep breath and stopped himself from following through with the act the next instant.
"System," he said, his eyes still glued to the contents of the crystal-like interface. "Are there any negative side effects of consuming the elixir?"
"Negative, in the long run," the AI replied almost imdiately. "However, the user should note that consuming a high-grade vitality-enhancing-elixir will cause the body fitness to improve explosively at unprecedented rates within a short period. Thus, the user will need ample ti to acclimatize to the changes brought about by the elixir and might even experience a dip in body control due to the rapid rate of improvent in the short run."
"Ohhh!" Zachary said, letting out another breath. "On estimate, how long would I need to acclimatize myself to my new attributes and perform as usual after ingesting the elixir?"
"The ti varies from individual to individual and from circumstance to circumstance," the AI responded. "However, based on past data, the user might require about six to eight weeks to adapt to the new level of abilities brought about by the A-graded elixir."
"That long!" Zachary mumbled, sighing dispiritedly. "Is there a way we can shorten the ti?"
"There is," the AI was quick to respond. "The user can wait and try consuming the A-graded vitality-enhancing-elixir together with an A-graded physical-conditioning-elixir when it becos next available. The user will need only about a month to adapt under the effects of the two elixirs since they complent one another perfectly."
"A physical-conditioning-elixir!" Zachary mumbled, his mind falling into a mont of deliberation. "And about a month is still needed as the ti of acclimatization even after consuming the two elixirs together!"
Zachary's eyes glimred for a bit with both resolve and expectation. A three-month dosage of the physical-conditioning-elixir was one of the rewards for completing the system's 2013 Norwegian Cup Serial Challenge mission. As long as he could put up a good performance on Sunday afternoon and help his team win the final against Molde, he would stand a chance of becoming the MVP. Then, he would be able to win the elixir from the system without any hustle.
However, all that was a matter of a few days later. Zachary was a bit crestfallen since he couldn't enjoy the benefits of the elixir right away. What a bumr!?
"So, that ans I can't utilize the elixir yet even if I'm to acquire the complentary physical-conditioning-elixir," he said, shaking his head. "The best course of action for is to wait and consu the elixir during the Christmas break, right after the conclusion of the Europa League group matches. That's the only way I can prevent its effects from hindering my performance during the official competitive matches in the remaining days of November and the rest of December."
"Exactly," the system's AI's affird.
"Then, I'll wait," Zachary resolved, letting out a breath.
He relaxed since he could still consu the elixir before the upcoming season. If all went according to plan, he would be a more accomplished player with new abilities next year. There was simply no need to rush. He just had to wait, and what was his would beco his in ti.
After making the resolution, Zachary considered for a bit on whether to upgrade the system before deciding against it. He already had enough on his plate and needed the few Juju points in his reserve. So, he decided to wait and see whether he would be obtaining rewards from other system missions soon before thinking about the issue again.
"Ti to sleep."
Without further ado, Zachary closed the system interface and jumped into bed with haste. Not long after, he descended into slumberland and slept like a log, oblivious to anything else around him.
