"Thank you," Alissa said politely, unwrapping her bar.
Kip followed suit, examining the unusual texture and subtle glow before taking his first bite.
The effects hit both siblings as they simultaneously gulped down the bites.
Their eyes widened in shock as power flooded through their systems like liquid lightning. The strength stored inside the bar multiplied their existing strength. Their attributes increased, adjusting to accommodate the improvement.
The protein bars are working exactly as intended.
"What... what is this?" Alissa gasped, staring at her hands as if they belonged to someone else.
"I feel incredible," Kip breathed, his young voice carrying awe.
Lola stepped forward with a soft, satisfied smile on her face, clearly enjoying their shocked expressions. "Those are protein bars that provide permanent strength enhancement plus temporary fifty percent improvement. Each one is worth approximately one thousand golden coins."
