The Old Baseball Player System

Chapter 105: Rewards

Shun woke up in the morning and quickly opened his inventory, ready to check the rest of his rewards.

[Inventory:

1 Basic Recovery Potion

17 Bronze mystery boxes

1 Gold mystery box

1 Legendary mystery box

1 Legendary batter skill

1 Random legendary skill

1 Potential improvement

1 Special item]

"Let's start with the mystery boxes." - Shun thought while selecting the item from his inventory.

[Do you want to open the Gold Mystery Box?

Yes/No]

"Yes!"

[DING]

[You have received a Gold Arena Pass!]

Shun looked at the notification and sighed, knowing it was difficult to get a different type of reward from the mystery box. Besides, the boy couldn't complain about a lack of rewards, so he accepted the Gold Pass, even though he didn't plan to use it anytime soon.

[Do you want to open the Legendary Mystery Box?

Yes/No]

"Yes!"

[DING]

[Congratulations! You've received a special prize!]

[You have received a Legendary Training Partner!]

[Your legendary training partner is now available in the Arena.]

"What?" - Shun was confused as he looked at the notifications in front of him, he had never heard about training partners in the system. Shun had to resist the urge to enter the arena right away, knowing he still had many things to do today.

He just sighed, realizing there were still many things about this system he didn't understand. The boy then turned his attention back to his inventory and continued claiming his rewards.

[Do you want to use the Legendary batter skill?

Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

[DING]

[You have received the legendary skill Perfect Shot!]

[Perfect Shot (SS+)

Allows the user to hit the exact desired location when the ball makes contact with the sweet spot of the bat.]

"This is really good! Especially for me, being a contact hitter, if I can hit the defensive gaps every time, the infielders are going to go crazy!" - Shun said excitedly after reading the description of his new skill. Of course, he knew it wasn't easy to hit the sweet spot of the bat, but he was still pleased.

The Sweet Spot of the bat is the optimal area for hitting a baseball, where the most exit velocity and the best angles are generated, avoiding ground or fly balls.

Shun was already quite satisfied with his rewards so far, which only made him more eager to continue opening the rest.

[Do you want to use the random Legendary skill?

Yes/No?]

"Yes!" - Shun said excitedly.

[DING]

[You have received the legendary skill Clutch Player!]

[Clutch Player (SS+)

Increases the user's performance in clutch situations.

Activation requirements: The user's team must be tied or losing. The game must be in the 7th inning or later.

Performance boost: +3 grades to all user stats.]

"Damn!" - Shun was shocked as he read the description of his new ability. It seemed like the system was finally being generous with him, he was starting to feel like this system was a bit of a cheat.

Without wasting time, Shun continued claiming his rewards.

[Do you want to use the Potential improvement?

Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

[DING]

[User's potential has increased!]

[S -> SS+]

"Hehe, not bad!" - Shun was getting more and more satisfied with his rewards. He then moved on to the last reward he had received.

[Do you want to use the special item?

Yes/No?]

"Yes!"

[DING]

[You have received a Skill Improvement!]

[Skill Improvement

Upgrades any user skill by one level.]

"Ohh, I didn't expect this! Which skill should I improve?" - Shun thought while looking at the item description. He hadn't planned to upgrade any of his current skills, so he had to think about it for a while.

"Haaaaaa forget it! My mind is too tired to make the right decision now." - Shun sighed as he got out of bed, quickly asked the system to use his Basic Recovery Potion, and felt a wonderful sense of relief throughout his body and mind.

He then put on his shoes and quickly left the house for his morning run. Today was the long-awaited first round of the Tokyo tournament and Shun's last chance to reach the Kanto middle school tournament.

SPLASH

The boy returned from his run and went straight to the shower. He could feel his anxiety rising as he tried his best to control his emotions. Shun was only 15 years old and was about to begin the tournament he had spent an entire year preparing for, so it was normal for him to feel nervous.

"I think this is the best option..." - Shun thought to himself. During his run, the boy carefully considered which skill to improve, and he reached a conclusion.

[Chase (A+)

Gives the user a speed boost while showing the fastest route to the ball.]

"Even though this is a Gold skill, it's definitely one of my most important skills for my playing style." - Shun said to himself. Chase was the skill that allowed him to perform well in the outfield since last year. Moreover, he already had legendary skills for pitching and hitting, so he made this decision without much difficulty.

[Do you want to use a Skill Improvement on the Gold Skill Chase?

Yes/No?]

"Yes!" - Shun said confidently.

[DING]

[The skill Chase has been upgraded to legendary level!]

[Chase (SS+)

Gives the user a speed boost while showing the fastest route to the ball.]

"Huh? The skill description didn't change at all?" - Shun looked confused at the skill description. Other than the skill's grade improving from A+ to SS+, nothing else seemed to have changed.

"Looks like I'll have to wait for the game to see what changes happened..." - Shun sighed. He trusted that the system wouldn't give him a useless item, so he knew the skill must have improved in some way.

"System menu!" - Shun said eagerly. He had received all his rewards, and now he wanted to see the result of everything.
