Kapitel 671: The System Upgrade is Complete

The day after the World Cup trophy parade passed quietly in Abidjan. The bustling city seemed to have taken a collective breath after savoring Ivory Coast's recent World Cup victory.

Zachary, the man of the moment, remained holed up in his house on the city outskirts, immersing himself in his mangas while waiting for the system to complete its 72-hour upgrade.

He did spare some time to talk to Kristin during meals, and as usual, their conversations were light and filled with a shared sense of companionship. But most of his time was spent with his beloved mangas, a simple pleasure that provided him solace amidst the storm of his rising fame and the demanding requirements of the football profession.

On the morning of his second day in Abidjan, Zachary woke up late to the familiar sound of the system's notification. His heart quickened as he realized the system had finally completed its upgrade.
