Second Chances: Indonesian Football Player
Chapter 36's
After talking to my mother, I returned my attention to the system. I reopened the user interface after putting my phone on the bedside table and started—flipping through the system menu.

I don't need much time to scan the contents of the interface. I had upgraded the system a year ago and was already familiar with the level-2 interface. I immediately stretched out my index finger and tapped on the mission tab that was already flashing red in the interface.

The mission reward is what I expected. I have obtained a dose of physical conditioning potion and 5 EXP points for each weekly training plan designed by the system.
For 52 weeks in the previous year, I had 260 points. The system has given me a bonus of 100 exp points for perfect mission completion. I then had enough money to buy one of the skills at the unlocked system store.
However, I decided to check my stats first before opening the system shop.

I managed to improve his physical fitness and football technique by one level during the training year. Due to my strict training schedule, which involved yoga and meditation, my mental abilities also ended up improving However, I have not managed to increase my X factor by even a single grade throughout the year. That single stat held back his talent appraisal, yet I had no way of correcting it.
‘Perhaps, I should seek help from one of the coaches.’ I thought while breathing. I clicked on the physical fitness tab.

My physical fitness benefited the most from 1 year of progressive overload training. My balance and coordination, along with my agility stats, all soared to the A+ value.Only his strength stat remained at A-rank among my physical stats. With my rate of progress, I just need to continue my intensive training plan and one day, I will achieve the perfect physique for football.
During his years of training, he had noticed that his physique had become less strong but slimmer as he tightened his muscles with vigorous exercise. He has reached the body with lean and well-defined muscles with almost no body fat. He is a bit thinner than the original but in better shape as a footballer.
He felt a sense of accomplishment because his physique had reached a mix of mesomorph and ectomorph body types. He is more agile with better body coordination—gives him an edge when dribbling or handling the ball. The value of his soccer technique for dribbling skills, passing accuracy, and body control also increased due to his smooth physique.
I navigated back to the home menu of the system user interface before opening the system store.

I didn't wait long. I selected the purchasing skills tab on the system store menu immediately. It was one of the features that the system had unlocked after its upgrade.
I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the new content on the screen. Only two skills are available in the system store. They appear on skill cards that hover in front of everything else in the interface. One card depicts Lionel Messi, one of the world's best footballers, in a posture of wanting to shoot free kicks. Others described Toni Kroos, one of the best midfielders, with the ball at his feet.
Under the two skill cards were a few words in beautiful calligraphy.
****
1) The Miracle Shoot of Lionel Messi: For Free Kicks. Cost 300 EXP points (Discount 95%, Deadline 1 hour)
2) The Passer Magician Toni Kroos: For passing. Cost 300 EXP Points
note:
*Skills are limited to one purchase until the next system upgrade.
*Please make your choice by tapping on the skill card to purchase.

I don't need much consideration. I directly chose 'The Miracle Shoot Lionel Messi’. Who does not know Messi's Magic free kick. Of course I would choose to buy the skills of two of the best footballers in the world. And besides by looking at the 75% discount mark on the image, I'm sure this will not happen again. These skills must be very expensive and rare. After all with Andres Iniesta's Vision I'm pretty confident with my passing skills. Although it must be admitted, the passing skills of Toni Kroos are very great.
After all, if I manage to level up my system again later, I can buy Kroos' passing skills. After all free kick skills are important for a midfielder.
In my past life, Celtic relied on Nakamura's free-kicks to win a few games and compete for various titles in the Scottish league. I'm sure I can be a great asset to any team if I master the art of taking dead balls at Messi level. As a midfielder, I don't have to worry about being left out of the team list as long as I can score most of the dead balls I kick.
However, when I tapped on the card with a picture of Messi, a system notification instantly popped up.

"So this is what the dungeon is for," I murmured to myself. I feel enlightened. Dungeon Virtual Training is a new feature added under the Mastery SKill menu after system upgrade. I had ignored its use until then.
Without hesitation, I clicked on the accept button to activate the Dungeon. I can't wait to learn new techniques.
