"Whoa!" Ken's eyes sparkled as he looked at the missions and rewards that floated in front of his face. The 500 home run mission seemed the most glaring as it rewarded 10 times the Major points as well as a Gold Lottery ticket and B-grade Elixir.

Ken had never even used a Silver lottery ticket, so the thought of using a Gold one made his imagination run wild.

"Maybe it will give me a skill to never miss a pitch?" He thought, rubbing his hands together greedily.
