After the match's analysis and discussions, Mark returned to the comfort of his hotel room. The intensity of the game was still fresh in his mind, and he took a moment to reflect on the pivotal role he had played in the team's comeback.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Mark felt a sudden presence, as if a thought had manifested itself into reality. He was aware of the system's existence within his mind, a digital companion that had been his guiding voice since his journey began.
Suddenly, a holographic display materialized before Mark's eyes. It showed two distinct options: "Missions" and "Skill Shop."
"The first function is 'Missions,' Mark," the system's voice echoed in his thoughts, accompanied by the visual representation of the options. "This function offers you specific tasks or challenges to complete during matches. If you successfully accomplish these missions, you will earn system-generated points. These points can then be used to enhance your skills, physical attributes, or even unlock new abilities."
Mark's interest grew as he observed the holographic display, visualizing the concept of missions and points.
The visual representation then shifted to the "Skill Shop" option. "The second function is the 'Skill Shop,'" the system continued, "a marketplace where you can use the system-generated points to purchase specific skills or abilities. These skills are inspired by legendary players and their iconic moves. For instance, you could acquire Ronaldo's aerial prowess, Beckham's bending technique, or Ronaldinho's step-over flair."
As the holographic display showcased the various legendary skills available in the Skill Shop, Mark's eyes widened in astonishment.
The holographic display then seamlessly transformed to show Mark's current points balance: 250 points.
Mark observed the visual representation, a mixture of excitement and determination welling up within him.
The system then presented him with a visual representation of his first mission: "Your first mission is to demonstrate exceptional teamwork and assist in creating at least two goal-scoring opportunities for your teammates in the next match against Aalesunds FK. Successfully completing this mission will earn you additional points and set you on the path of progress."
Mark nodded to himself, his focus sharp and his resolve firm. The journey ahead was not only about victories on the pitch but also about embracing challenges and continuously evolving as a player. With the new functions and the system's guidance, he was ready to take his game to new heights.
