Chapter 46: Chapter 45: System Update/Upgrade
As I immersed myself in daily practice sessions with the players of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), honing my skills and pushing my limits, an unexpected notification suddenly appeared on my system.
[Ding!!!]
[New Quest for the Host]
[The System will undergo an update after completing this task]
I didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately selected "Yes" when asked if I agreed to the system update. Perhaps it was my familiarity with using Android devices that made me respond without any reservations.
Curiosity piqued, I asked the system, "Will this update affect any of my stats or reset them?"
The system quickly replied, putting my concerns to rest. "No, Host. Your stats will remain intact. In fact, this update will introduce new features and skills to enhance your abilities."
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Whoo! That sounds exciting. I'm definitely looking forward to it."
Eager to delve into the new quest, I inquired, "Can I see the details of the quest?"
The system obliged, presenting the quest before my eyes. The challenge was clear: I had to secure a spot in the playing 11 and become the highest run scorer and wicket taker for the team in an upcoming match.
I grinned at the prospect, knowing that just getting into the playing 11 would be an achievement in itself. "Well, that's the first hurdle. But I won't let that deter me. System, tell me about the rewards."
The system responded with its usual formalities, but I interrupted, feeling a bit awkward. "System, can you please drop the 'Replying to the Host' speeches? Just answer my questions or respond to my messages without the formalities."
The system, seemingly sulking, complied with my request. It began explaining the rewards, which included a new skill called "Bullseye." It was a fielding skill that allowed me to aim precisely at the target within seconds of picking up an object to throw.
I nodded in approval. "That sounds impressive. A skill dedicated to fielding will certainly elevate my game."
The system continued, unveiling another skill called "Bullet Arm." When combined with the Bullseye skill, it would make me the best player in the world. The possibilities seemed endless as I pondered how these skills could be utilized in various combinations.
Lost in thought, I mused, "I'll save the strategic planning for later, once I've acquired a few more skills. For now, I'll focus on completing the quest at hand."
Curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't help but inquire about the duration of the update. "System, how long will this update take? Or should I call it an upgrade?"
The system responded, shedding some light on the matter. "It may take a while, Host. The system originates from the Management, who reside outside Earth. Therefore, the duration of the update may vary."
An air of mystery surrounded the system's creators, and I couldn't help but dig deeper. "System, who exactly created you?"
Silence engulfed the virtual space as my question echoed unanswered.
"System, are you there?" I called out, hoping for a response.
Still, silence persisted, leaving me pondering the nature and origins of this enigmatic system.
Before bidding farewell, the system finally broke its silence. [System is undergoing an update. Hope to see you soon, Host. Take care.]
With that, I awaited the completion of the update, anticipating the unveiling of new skills and the challenges that lay ahead. Little did I know that this upgrade would shape not only my journey within the realm of cricket but also unlock a destiny intertwined with the fate of Earth itself.
As the update progressed, I contemplated the possibilities, eagerly anticipating the moment when I would once again engage with the system and embark on a thrilling adventure in the world of cricket, armed with new abilities and an unwavering determination to excel.
Time passed slowly, but I remained patient, knowing that the system's return would mark the beginning of an extraordinary chapter in my life—a chapter where legends are born and destinies are forged.
