The Old Baseball Player System

The boy then began to think about the progress he had made in recent months and the difficult missions he had completed.

[Training Center Unlock Mission

Make 1 million swings, following your coach\'s instructions (1000000/1000000)

Time limit: 1 month

Rewards: Unlock all functions of the Training Center, Improve Batting statistic by 3 grades, 1 silver arena pass, and an S- grade Stamina elixir.

Failure Penalty: Lose the Training Center forever, all user statistics decrease by 3 grades.]

The first mission he completed was the Training Center mission, which not only gave him unlimited access to all the Training Center functions but also greatly improved his batting and stamina.

Thanks to the improvement in his batting score, Shun finally managed to complete his first Arena mission.

[Contact Hitter (Bronze)

Get 10 hits in arena games (10/10)

Rewards: 100 coins, 1 silver arena pass, and a random grade B elixir.]

With one more silver arena pass, he had accumulated three of them. But he hadn\'t played that tournament even once yet. Also, the most important part of this reward for Shun was the random grade B elixir. Luckily, the boy obtained a Body Balance elixir, fulfilling the final requirement to pitch with his perfect form.

[#1 Perfect Form

Master the perfect pitching form for the user.

Requirements to complete the mission: pitch using the form without any mistakes 500 times. (500/500)

Rewards: qualification to learn the legendary pitch and quirk Injury-free.]

Shun finally completed this mission, and his greatest reward for it was being able to pitch again. By completing the mission, he was finally able to learn his legendary pitch, the slider. Additionally, he also gained a very useful quirk.

[Injury-free

Decreases the chances of the user getting injured while playing baseball to almost zero.]

Shun didn\'t quite understand how this worked, but he knew from the description that it was very useful. There were numerous cases where injuries ruined careers. But, of course, this quirk didn\'t make Shun immortal or anything like that.

According to the old man, this quirk reduced the chances of Shun getting injured in common plays. However, he could still get injured in extreme situations, such as falling on his arm or being hit by a ball. In these situations, even though this quirk would lessen the damage, he would probably still get injured.

The old man told Shun this so the boy wouldn\'t go around thinking he was Superman, making reckless plays.

After that, Shun completed two more arena missions in succession, further improving his skills as a batter.

[Contact Hitter (Silver)

Get 1000 hits in arena games (1000/1000)

Rewards: 500 coins, 1 gold arena pass, and a random grade A elixir.]

[Contact Hitter (Gold)

Get 10000 hits in arena games (10000/10000)

Get 100 hits parallel to the foul line in arena games (100/100)

Rewards: 1000 coins, 1 legendary arena pass, 1 gold batter skill, and a random grade S elixir.]

The difficulty of arena missions increased according to their level, but the rewards also improved significantly. Since Shun hadn\'t used even a single silver arena pass yet, he hadn\'t done anything with the gold and legendary arena passes either. As for the gold skill he received, it was a skill he was putting to good use.

[Line Drive (A+)

Hit the ball in a straight line with force slightly above the ground.]

As for the elixirs he received, the grade A one was a Mental elixir, which was quite useful considering he didn\'t know how to increase this stat other than through elixirs. He even felt much smarter after using the elixir, something that helped him a lot with his studies.

Regarding the grade S elixir, he received a Muscular Strength elixir, an extremely useful stat that improved his performance in all areas of his game. Overall, these were all of Shun\'s rewards over the past few months, except for a quirk he received from a bronze mystery box.

[Velocity I

Increases the speed of the user\'s pitches.]

In this way, Shun\'s ongoing missions had decreased in number. He still hadn\'t completed the total integration of his new shoulder, nor that of his new fingers. The main missions were still far from being completed. As for the Arena mission...

[Contact Hitter (Legendary)

Get 100000 hits in arena games (1352/100000)

Get 10000 hits in right field in arena games (0/10000)

Get 10000 hits in center field in arena games (23/10000)

Get 10000 hits in left field in arena games (1329/10000)

Rewards: 2000 coins, 1 legendary mystery box, 1 legendary batter skill, and a random grade SS elixir.]

Shun had started this mission recently, but he knew it wouldn\'t be easy to complete. Moreover, he needed to complete it in a few months, as completing a legendary arena mission was one of the requirements for his main mission "Two-way Player", and there were only a few months left before that mission\'s deadline expired.

"System menu!" – Shun said something he hadn\'t said in a while, and then he heard the system notification sound in his head as a transparent screen appeared in front of him.
