Chapter 574: Bone Strengthening Pill
If only he could allocate the pill's effect, then it'd have been a worthy deal. However, he couldn't strengthen the specific bone of his choice.
Complacently staring at the screen, he pondered deeply about the issue.
Then after pondering for a while, he decided, "Even if it's random, let's go with it. I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
With that said, he chose to purchase the item. Spending a thousand points, he purchased about 100 pills.
Spending such a massive sum emptied his account. So, he couldn't help but grieve the loss, "My entire saving... sniff! It's gone. 106 more to go."
Frowning, he stared at the piles of pills before him.
"Can I even consume all of it at once?" Hiro muttered.
Although the pills weren't huge, they were still of a decent size. So, swallowing all those pills at once, he'd choke for sure, and consuming one at a time would probably take him a long time.
Then he picked up a single piece that was the size of a small glass marble and stared fixedly. The pill was deep brown.
Bringing the pill closer to his nose, he sniffed, "Yuck!"
The smell of the pill was intolerably stinky which almost made him want to throw up. It smelled like a mixture of rotten fish and egg, "Just what the hell did they use to concoct it?"
Hiro then looked at the pile of pills and gulped his saliva. If only pills nearly made him throw up then how was he supposed to consume all those piles of pills?
Despite the overbearing smell, Hiro wolfed down a few of the pills. With how bad the pill smelled, he figured that if he stopped even for a while, he might not be able to consume the pills. So, without thinking, he wolfed down a few of the pills.
Fortunately, the pill didn't taste bad. So, it made it easy to consume the pills.
Then after consuming about twenty pills, he paused as he felt a burning sensation inside his body. His temperature started to rise as he started sweating profusely.
The sensation started in his abdomen before making its way to various parts of his body. It was like an electric current was flowing through his veins.
But now that he was all alone, he was bored beyond measure.
Having strengthened his bones, he wanted to test out the effect of the Bone Strengthening Pill. But since he couldn't participate in the training, there wasn't any way to test it out
either.
"Should I just explore the town?" Hiro muttered sitting before the television.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, while he was thinking about ways to cure his boredom, his phone buzzed. Hiro picked up the phone and stared at the number, "Shun. Why is he calling me right now?"
Hiro felt puzzled by the call. Just like everyone else, he also had returned home. So, he found it a bit strange to see him calling him.
It wasn't just Hiro who had won the league title. Shun also won the second-division title, helping his club promote to the first division.
"Hello," he answered the call.
"Yo, where are you?" Shun asked.
"Home."
"Then you must be free right now, right?" he asked enthusiastically.
Hiro couldn't tell why he sounded so excited at the moment. Perhaps, he had something to
say.
"Yeah," he answered. "Do you need something?"
Hiro couldn't help but ask. From his excited tone, Hiro could guess that he had some matters to discuss. Whether it be a favor or an important matter, he would only know after getting
told.
