'Over 20 times,' Nick thought as he took a deep breath. 'A normal Shell is supposed to increase the Zephyx recovery by only about ten times!'
'Has anyone done this before?' Nick thought.
Nick thought about how he would have done it without the Elixir.
'Without the Elixir, I would have never done things like this. I would have just made a ball like everyone else. Faster Zephyx recovery is not worth spending another 20 years or so as a Peak Veteran. I simply don't have the time to do that.'
'Additionally, my goal isn't necessarily to become the most powerful person in the world. Sure, that would help me in achieving my goal, but my goal takes priority.'
Nick thought about all the poor people living in the Outer City, and he immediately felt his blood starting to boil.
Then, he thought about the governor, which didn't calm him down.
