Chapter 170 - Decompose a Can of Red Bull
“Hey boss, hit me with a Red Bull!”
“Got it! That'll be five bucks for your Red Bull.”
Jiang Hao grabbed the Red Bull handed over by the boss and fished out a five from his pocket to pay up.
He spun around, cracking open the Red Bull as he walked, ready to take a few sips to boost his energy.
Out of nowhere, a voice echoed in Jiang Hao's head.
“Ding! Red Bull detected. Would you like to decompose it?”
Jiang Hao paused, taken aback.
But he quickly caught on.
Without missing a beat, Jiang Hao turned on his heel and strolled back to the shop.
The shopkeeper, a middle-aged woman, greeted him with a warm smile. “Back so soon? Need anything else?”
Jiang Hao returned the smile. “Auntie, I'm feeling extra thirsty today. How about three more Red Bulls?”
“Coming right up!”
The shopkeeper fetched three more cans of Red Bull for Jiang Hao.
He handed over the cash, grabbed the cans, and made his way to a park bench under the shade of a tree to sit down.
He eagerly pulled out a can and summoned the system. “System, let's decompose this!”
Following Jiang Hao's command, he waited with bated breath.
“Ding! Congratulations, host. You've successfully decomposed a can of Red Bull. You've earned one Endurance Pill, 0.9 Skill Points, and 0.9 Experience Points.”
Endurance Pill: The ultimate choice for boosting stamina. Consuming this will increase your endurance by 0.1.
“Decomposition complete. Would you like to retrieve it?”
The description of the Endurance Pill sent Jiang Hao into a frenzy of excitement. He had been concerned about his stamina levels, but now, he'd managed to decompose a pill specifically designed to enhance endurance!
Even though a single Endurance Pill only upped his stamina by 0.1, Jiang Hao wasn't bothered. If the quality isn't there, quantity will do the trick!
“Retrieve it!”
Jiang Hao commanded swiftly.
In the next instant, a plain-looking black pill materialized in his hand.
Gazing at the unremarkable pill in his hand, Jiang Hao didn't hesitate for a moment before swallowing it whole.
The stamina pill melted instantly upon touching his tongue, and a wave of relaxation washed over him. His breathing deepened ever so slightly, and the panting from his recent run vanished without a trace.
Jiang Hao eagerly accessed his Stats Window.
As expected, the endurance stat in his physical fitness column had risen!
It had been a mere 0.8 before, but now it had climbed to 0.9.
Thrilled by the boost in his endurance, Jiang Hao quickly grabbed another can of Red Bull from his nearby food pouch.
“Disassemble!”
“Ding… Host has failed to disassemble. You've gained 0.1 skill point and 0.1 Experience Point!”
Despite the disappointment of the failed attempt, Jiang Hao didn't dwell on it. The system's disassembly wasn't guaranteed to succeed every time, after all.
He reached for another can.
“System, disassemble!”
……
A smile soon spread across his face.
He had undoubtedly succeeded this time!
Having consumed the new Stamina Pill, Jiang Hao planned to head home and stock up on more Red Bull to boost his stats.
He took a final swig of Red Bull, ready to make his way back.
But just then, his attention was captured by an elderly man in a green robe practicing under a nearby tree.
Jiang Hao observed the old man moving fluidly among the shadows of the branches, striking various martial arts poses.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Hao made his way over.
In no time at all, he found himself sitting on a bench not far from where the green-robed elder was practicing his martial arts.
