Henry was slightly surprised by the suggestion made by Jack. Despite that, he still went ahead and made the purchase for two pills that could be used to increase their strength.
In a little while, he purchased the two pills, before taking out of his system's inventory. He gave one of them to Jack, while explaining, "These two pills are called Parameters boosting pills. They can be used to increase all the physical parameters such as strength, agility and others by two times.
But there is a limit. One can only use this pill once, and during the time that they are using this pill, they are supposed to be within the scope of an ordinary human being."
Jack took the small pill and scrutinized it while listening to Henry. The pill was completely white, and it did not give out any fragrance. It was small, the size of a pea.
Jack nodded his head before asking, "About the consumption, is it consumed directly, or do we need to dissolve it first?"
Back in his world, he had received something called the body strengthening pill formula. It was that formula that he had used in order to create a pills, but for the effectiveness of the pills to be seen, one had to dissolve the pill into water, and the water had to be of a certain amount, otherwise, it was going to be impossible to be able to find out about the prowess of the pill.
"Just swallow it directly. It should be able to dissolve the moment that you take it." Henry said as he did that himself. He threw the small white pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.
Jack followed suit, and swallowed the white pill. The moment that he swallowed the pill, he did not feel any reaction at all.
But that was just momentarily. In the next moment, he suddenly felt his body heating up. It was as though a fire furnace had been ignited within his body, and in just a few seconds, his body began sweating.
He was not the only one, considering that Henry was experiencing the same situation as well. The two of them felt like their bodies were currently on fire. They were sweating in just a matter of a few seconds, and the clothes that they were wearing were soaked in sweat.
At the same time, the two of them felt that they could feel that there was something that was going on inside their bodies. At first, they felt that it was as though the muscles within their bodies were squirming.
They felt the muscles contract, before expanding, then contracting again. This was something that went on for the next 2 minutes or so, before it finally stopped.
At this moment, the temperatures within their bodies had been maintained at a constant rate, but even then, the two felt like they were being burned. Nevertheless, they did not try to rush to the bathroom so that they could use the water from the shower to cool themselves down.
They just continued staying there, sitting on the floor, while trying to stay as calm as possible. They wanted to wait until the effects of them medicine that they had taken waned.
Still, the moment that they felt that their muscles had stopped squirming, they suddenly felt that there was an intense amount of energy that was injected into their bodies. It was as though there was something that wanted to burst out of their bodies at this point.
Veins suddenly bulged all over their bodies, that even their faces could be seen covered in veins. At this point, the two of them were only gritting their teeth, while trying to endure this uncomfortable situation.
While they were experiencing the pressure that was being exerted on them by the energy that was in their bodies, they suddenly felt that it was as though they were currently being stung by needles from inside their bodies.
It was as though needles wanted to crawl out of their skin, and out of their bodies. But this was just a sensation that they were getting, considering that when they touched their skin, other than the sweat on it, there was nothing else that made it seem different.
The pain was not that intense, but it was extremely uncomfortable. The two of them managed to endure, considering that their current mental strength was way beyond 18-year-olds youths.
Finally, 5 minutes after they had taken the pill, they felt the side effects of taking the pill dissipating. It was only then that they were able to release a sigh of relief.
The two of them began flexing their muscles, trying to see the changes that had happened. Despite not being able to clearly tell how strong they had become, they could clearly tell that they had become stronger. And more than that, they had also become a little faster.
It was also at this point that Henry suddenly remembered something. During the time that the system had come online, it had informed him of the changes that had happened within the system.
This pill that was called the Parameters boosting pill was not something that had existed in his system store back then in the world that he had come from. And according to the system, all the items that were going to be provided to them were going to be from within this world.
Could it be that there was a certain research facility that was capable of producing such pills? If something like that really existed, then that implied that this world was not as simple as it looked.
Until this day, they had only met with ordinary people. They had never met with anybody extra ordinary, to the extent of going beyond the limits over an ordinary human being.
But if a person who was extremely strong, was given this pill, then that person would obviously go beyond the limits that were currently known by the humans, at least in a world like this.
'System, is this pill part of this world, or is it part of the system abilities?' Henry asked after a moment of thought.
[This pill has already been produced in this world. Currently, it is already undergoing mass production, and many people are already using it. But, there is a limitation to the people that can access this pill, despite the mass production.]
On hearing the response from the system, Henry suddenly became alert. At the same time, he finally felt that he understood the reason why Jack felt that they needed to get stronger themselves first.
"Hey Jack, it seems that this world is not as it seems. It is completely far from being ordinary. We are definitely not the only ones that possess the kind of strength that we currently possess. There are more, and they might even number in thousands, or even tens of thousands. This world is big after all." Henry said after going through the prompt from the system.
Jack was a little surprised as well. He had not expected something like that. As for how Henry had found out about this information, Jack did not doubt it at all. In any case, the two of them were currently in the same situation. So, there was no need for Henry to lie to him.
"It seems that the mission that we are supposed to handle is not going to be that simple as well. Even though we don't know what we are supposed to do, we still have to make enough preparations." Jack said as he rubbed his temples.
It would have been easier for them if they understood what mission they had to carry out. But their problem was that they had been thrown here, without even knowing what they were supposed to do.
They simply knew one thing, they had to complete a mission. But as for the mission was, as for what were the prerequisites of completing the mission were, they had no clue at all.
But now, Jack felt that he had began getting another standing over what their mission might be. Since it was possible that there were other people that were stronger than ordinary humans, then that implied that there were superhumans here in this world, just like in the world that he had come from.
For that reason, they would have to make arrangements and get stronger as soon as possible. Jack was not willing to be in the same situation as he had been when he was swallowed by the black hole. He was completely helpless to resist against it.
"What is the price of other items that can be used to increase our strength?" Henry suddenly asked after a moment of contemplation.
"The price for the next item that we can use in order to increase our strength is priced at $100 million." Henry responded after going through the system store once again.
"$100 million? It is not that far away. We should be able to reach that level if we combine the abilities of our systems. That way, we can easily get $100 million for the pill, and it's going to be possible for us to be able to acquire even more advanced methods of increasing our strength." Jack responded.
After that, everyone took a shower in their own rooms, to deal with the sweat that they had covering their bodies after taking the pill. Then, they gathered once again, as it was time for them to start using the remaining $245 million.
Well, Jack's current account was more than that, but it was not in the millions. As for the Lamborghini that he had won from Simon the first time, he had already sold it, selling it at a price of $400,000.
During the time of the multiplication, it was not as though his system could just modify the Lamborghini and make it disappear. Instead, it only gave him a car whose quality was 99 times better than the Lamborghini.
Having no use for the Lamborghini, and not wanting to drive it around, he decided to sell it to generate extra income. As for Henry, there was no need for him to get another car, considering that the car that he currently possessed was already enough.
