Zachary had expected the completion grade to be an S. He'd toiled hard in the game, thereby producing an assist that led to an equalizer and scoring the winning goal. He expected an S rating for his match performance. However, what caught him by surprise was the message blinking in red below the mission completion notification.

Zachary felt pumped, excited, and more alive after perusing through the G.O.A.T missions status tab.

He shook off all the drowsiness that had almost enveloped his psyche after taking a glance at the rewards. The additional 30 Juju-points were a handsome reward for him at that juncture. He then had a total of 107 Juju-points that were more than enough to level up the system. He couldn't wait to see how the system would evolve after leveling it up.

However, Zachary was not a very impatient person. He decided to first check out the Physical Conditioning Elixir before upgrading the system. The system's elixirs had played a key role in improving his soccer skills. He was optimistic about the new elixir's effects.

Zachary closed the G.O.A.T-Missions tab and opened the System-Shop.

Both the Gift-Pack and Inventory tabs were blinking red. Zachary right away clicked on the former—as it contained descriptions and instructions on how to use the items from the system. Zachary sought to understand the usage of the Physical Conditioning Elixir before retrieving it from the system.

Zachary bounced and hopped around his room on his flexing feet and rubbed his hands together after reading the system's message. His facial expression at that moment was that of a small child with an especially—large Christmas present. He could hardly contain his happiness.

The system's reward for the hidden-mission was what he desired to advance his skills and compete with the top professional players in the European leagues.

Zachary understood that soccer was one of the most physically demanding of all sports. His coaches in his previous life had always emphasized the importance of proper feeding when training. That was why most professional sports clubs employed food and nutrition specialists to monitor their players' diets.

Zachary needed to meet the required energy requirements of his long-term training plans to improve his physical fitness. Failure to meet those increased energy needs, especially with the recommended quality of nutrition, would significantly increase the risk of impaired training status. He would end up not getting the results he deserved from the training routines.

However, the system had saved Zachary from all that hustle by providing him with a dosage of Physical Conditioning Elixir. Moreover, it had also designed a mission that contained weekly tasks for his progressive overload fitness training. He no longer needed to wait and consult his coaches before beginning his fitness training. He only needed to follow the training plan of the system.

After calming down, Zachary closed the Gift-Pack tab and opened the system-inventory to retrieve his reward. A card with an image of a yellow banana filled up the screen once he opened the system-inventory. He didn't deliberate for long and just clicked on the gift card to retrieve his weekly dosage. He was already used to the system's elixirs being in the form of fruits.

"DING"

No sooner had he tapped on the gift card than the familiar system notification sounded in his mind as a description of a new mission populated the screen before him.

Zachary felt overwhelmed after perusing through the mission tasks. The physical training routines would take up roughly three hours of his time daily. Even worse, the exercises would expend much of his stamina and might even worsen the results of his technical soccer training at the academy. Too much of anything was good for nothing.

However, after thinking about the benefits of the C-grade Physical Conditioning Elixir, he right away clicked on the accept button. What was there to fear when he possessed the dietary booster from the system?

"DING"

The system notification sounded as the mission description disappeared and the gift card with the yellow banana once again appeared. Zachary didn't hesitate to click on it. A mini-sized yellow banana popped out of the card, into the physical world as soon as Zachary's finger left the translucent blue screen.

Zachary swallowed it right away.
