Huang Chong was ecstatic.
It wasn't because the race had gone exactly according to his pace and plan, allowing him to win the championship with ease.
Nor was it because he had won the substantial 28,888 prize.
Well, winning the prize money was certainly something to be happy about, but not enough to make him ecstatic.
The reason for his ecstasy was simple: as he stared intently at the system's reward notification, he realized the unit for the new electrolyte functional drink in his daily gift pack was "cases," not "bottles"!
'Fifty cases? Am I seeing this right?'
After crossing the finish line, Huang Chong didn't stop riding. Instead, he shifted to an easier gear and continued forward at a Zone 1 cool-down pace.
This was to flush out the excess lactic acid buildup in his body—part of the muscle recovery process.
Although he now had an abundance of supplies, enough to last him the next few months, he always stuck to the principle of saving whenever he could.
