Chapter 621 The 2018 FIFA World Cup Challenge
Zachary had a hectic Monday and Tuesday in Turin, Italy, with a jam-packed schedule of meetings with representatives from various companies that sponsored him. He was racing against time to make it to all his appointments. On Tuesday morning, he had a highly anticipated meeting with Nike. The meeting was a crucial one as they were his primary sponsor. It held significant importance on his agenda.
Three years ago, they had offered him an eight-year deal worth a staggering 180 million Euros! Zachary had jumped at the offer and was now earning a jaw-dropping 22.5 million Euros annually as one of their top brand ambassadors.
Zachary was thrilled to meet with the Nike representatives to discuss which boot he would wear at the upcoming World Cup. They strategized how he could promote the shoe at the tournament and make it the talk of the football world. After considering his options, Zachary quickly decided on the Nike Mercurial Roc - a boot designed for players who craved lightning-fast speed and agility. He even got to try them on, along with a stylish Nike tracksuit, for a quick photoshoot before bidding farewell to the Nike team.
He spent the rest of the Tuesday visiting all his friends and acquaintances in Turin. He spent some quality time with his coaches and the technical staff at Juventus, reminiscing about the good times they had shared. As the sun descended toward the horizon in the west, he returned to his sprawling mansion in the tranquil town of Piedmont. The excitement of a new adventure ahead was palpable as he packed his bags and prepared for his next destination. He was ready to join his Ivorian teammates in Edinburgh the following day, where they would play a friendly against Scotland before heading to Russia to compete in the World Cup.
Zachary spent the rest of the evening chatting with his fitness trainer, Bjørn Peters, and the coach's lovely wife, Inger. The trio enjoyed a sumptuous dinner before bidding each other goodnight. Once back in his room, Zachary took a relaxing shower and slipped into his comfy boxers. As he settled into his bed, his curiosity piqued, and he decided to check out his stats and the new system mission that had only been assigned to him a few days ago. "System," he called out in his mind. "Please bring up my current stats on the interface."
"DING"
"Command received," the system AI replied immediately. "User-stats data coming up on the interface."
With that said, the crystal-like display shimmered slightly before showing his primary attribute data.

After analyzing the stats, Zachary gave a nod and requested the system to display a breakdown of all his attributes. "System, can you show me the breakdown of all my attributes?" he asked.
The system responded with a DING sound and instantly presented the desired data on a translucent crystal-like display, making it easy for Zachary to review.

As Zachary scrolled through the list of his attributes, he couldn't help but grin. Three years of hard work and dedication had paid off, and he was now a football star with an impressive record. He had not one, but two Champion League trophies, four Serie A titles, and two Coppa Italias under his belt. And that was just the beginning.
What's truly exciting was that completing various system missions over the years had enabled him to upgrade his attributes to a level that was nothing short of amazing. Although Zachary's "Balance & Coordination" and "Strength" attributes were behind at the SS+ grade, all his other physical fitness stats had reached the SSS grade. His soccer technique skills were equally impressive, with two being graded at the SS level and the rest at the SS+ level.
But that's not all. His "Game Intelligence," "Mental Ability and Mindset," and "X-Factor" attributes had also risen over the years. They were all at the SS level or above, making Zachary one of the most well-rounded and skilled football players in the world. All that hard work had definitely paid off.
Zachary couldn't contain his excitement and eagerly called out to the system once again. His curiosity was piqued and he couldn't wait to check out the new system mission. "Hey there, System! Could you bring up the details of the 2018 World Cup Challenge?"
"Command received," said the system AI as the all-familiar translucent crystal-like flickered to show the requested information. "Mission details have been displayed on the interface."
