During his free time, Cao Baiming suddenly remembered the reward for his group's advancement, a supply pack that hadn't been claimed yet!
The dazzling, rainbow-like glow from the last supply pack opening was still vivid in his memory. The rewards of that dazzling tier were incredibly enticing!
However, with a probability of 0.5%, he couldn't expect to get another one consecutively.
With a sliver of anticipation, Cao Baiming called out to the system.
"Open the supply pack, open it now!"
The two seconds of waiting felt like an eternity. Cao Baiming meticulously listened to the voice in his mind, his eyes fixed ahead, hoping for the rainbow-colored light to reappear!
Immediately, a golden light flashed, but the dazzling tier didn't appear.
"Alright! Since it's gold, that's not bad either!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the supply pack. The quality is top-tier gold. You have obtained the top-tier talent card [Long Shot Aura], upgraded to max level, received 20 Body Enhancement Potions, and gained 2 million points!"
Cao Baiming's expression was calm. This reward wasn't particularly luxurious, significantly less so than the dazzling tier supply pack from before.
However, when he heard the word "aura," his eyes lit up.
Now that they had advanced from the group stage, every subsequent match could be his final. The biggest problem wasn't him, but his teammates who were still too weak!
These guys didn't train properly every day, only eating sea cucumbers. There was really nothing he could do.
If only there were more of these auras. The Long Shot Aura sounded very reliable!
"[Long Shot Aura] Talent Skill Card Introduction: The max-level effect allows all members of the current team to enjoy the aura's bonus effect. Shot power and ball speed are increased by 40%, and shooting accuracy outside the penalty area is increased by an additional 100%!"
Cao Baiming took a deep breath, then burst out laughing.
"This is a really great card! With this, the Tang National team will have heavy artillery players across the board! What's there to worry about for scoring goals?"
There was no card better than this. At this moment, he felt very satisfied, truly getting whatever he wished for!
Now he could finally rest happily!
Then, buoyed by this happiness, Cao Baiming's attention shifted to these peculiar potions.
The system was dispensing more and more potions. They hadn't had much effect when used in previous matches, but this name sounded a bit different.
Body Enhancement Potion. It sounded permanent, unlike the previous ones.
Why bother thinking so much! Let's try it first!
"System, use Body Enhancement Potion!"
"Ding! The host currently has twenty doses remaining. How many doses would you like to use this time?"
"All of them."
"Alright! Configuring now!"
Cao Baiming closed his eyes, thinking that it might add some buffs to basic attributes, like power, stamina, and physical strength.
If it did, after drinking these twenty bottles, he would feel a surge of heat in his body, just like before.
A few seconds passed. Cao Baiming's eyes remained closed, sensing the subtle changes within his body.
At this moment, he could already feel something unusual. The heat seemed to be circulating within him, as if the potion was starting to work!
Cao Baiming's lips curved into a slight smile, and he continued to close his eyes, enjoying the sensation, which felt somewhat comfortable, even exhilarating.
A few more seconds passed, and suddenly, Cao Baiming's eyes snapped open!
"Damn it! Something's wrong!"
In an instant, the heat in his body seemed to explode in an overdose, rapidly condensing. His skin felt an incredibly intense burning sensation.
"Damn it, I didn't use too much at once, did I?"
Cao Baiming gritted his teeth and continued to endure. After a few seconds, the pain ended, his body returned to its calm state, and he no longer felt anything unusual.
Even the heat had disappeared.
"What's going on? Are you kidding me?" Cao Baiming opened his eyes in confusion.
At this moment, what his eyes saw completely stunned him.
In his vision, he saw his own arms and thighs. Although he was still wearing the red team jersey, his muscles had rapidly expanded, becoming unrecognizable!
He hurriedly found a mirror and looked. Now his entire body was fully displayed before him.
He saw his body transform from a thin, small figure into a strong, muscular man!
In just over ten seconds, his weight had increased by at least twenty pounds?
His entire appearance had undergone a drastic change.
Looking at the stranger in front of him, Cao Baiming wanted to curse.
Why had he impulsively used the potion earlier? Could it be that this potion changed one's appearance? This was too outrageous!
For a moment, his head was spinning!
"System, what exactly does the Body Enhancement Potion do?" Cao Baiming asked, full of confusion.
"Ding! Body Enhancement Potion can greatly enhance the host's physical strength and muscle power for a short period of time..."
"Short period of time..."
Now he understood. It was a temporary enhancement drug, and he had used so much at once. It was over!
"How long does it last?"
"The duration is 15 minutes. It is currently detected that the host has an excessive amount of the potion in his body. The duration will stack and double. Total countdown..."
Cao Baiming's eyes widened, eagerly awaiting the reply.
"3605 minutes."
"I... Holy hell."
With the mathematical calculation skills he had learned out of boredom using points, Cao Baiming calculated in less than a second that this was almost three days!
He looked at himself in the mirror again. Because he had consumed too much, his physique and appearance had changed so much. How could he face anyone like this!
The key point was that he would change back when the time was up!
This was truly infuriating! Why didn't the system say so earlier!
At this moment, Cao Baiming had no other options. Wasting twenty enhancement potions was a minor issue; the major problem was that he had to return to the team for training tomorrow!
...
A true warrior dares to face danger. Since it was bound to happen sooner or later, why not face it proactively!
After thinking about it, Cao Baiming sent an invitation to his teammates. Tonight, he, Cao Baiming, was treating them to dinner, featuring sea cucumbers!
After sending the invitation, he received replies not long after. No one refused. Who would refuse sea cucumbers? Especially when it was Cao Baiming's invitation, and they didn't have to pay!
In the Tang National team, Cao Baiming was already a god-like figure, not only to the Tang National fans but also to his teammates!
