Function Activated

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Krillin gradually adapted to the pressure beneath the sea and felt himself becoming slightly stronger.

Time: Era 756

Name: Krillin

Age: 20

Race: Earthling

Battle Power: 104

Skills: Kamehameha, Solar Flare, Afterimage Technique...

Training Limit: 1500 Battle Power

Training felt really great, and he could visibly see his Battle Power increasing. La la la. Krillin could not help feeling a little happy.

After ten days, Krillin's total assets had reached 28 million. Fanyu's arrival had greatly eased Lanqi's burden, but Krillin had not increased the supply. Hunger Marketing was the true way.

Twenty-eight million sounded like a lot, but its purchasing power was truly insufficient. Krillin had originally wanted to order a set of Gravity Equipment from Dr. Briefs, but considering his financial situation, he decided to wait a little longer!

More than ten days of training had only increased his Battle Power by 4 points. This made Krillin truly anxious, because Raditz would arrive on Earth in four years. Although Goku's Battle Power would only be between 314 and 416 then, and the gap between them would not be too great, after that, Goku seemed to have activated a cheat code.

When facing Naba, he had 5,000 to 8,000 Battle Power. When facing Vegeta, he even unleashed 24,000 Battle Power using fourfold Kaio-ken.

On Planet Namek, 90,000, 3 million, 150 million... "So what if I'm the strongest support? There are only five years left. Am I inevitably going to become a nobody again? Heavens, did you send me here just to be a nobody?" Krillin could not help complaining.

"Ding-dong, Xiaolin, are you starting to lose confidence?" The system seemed to be mocking him.

"You've got the nerve to say that? You disappeared for so many days, then suddenly showed up. Are you trying to scare a ghost?" Krillin said, rolling his eyes.

"You know what Saiyans are like. In the later stages, one breakthrough can add hundreds of millions of Battle Power as easily as playing around. What am I supposed to do?" Krillin asked anxiously.

"Given the host's urgent desire to grow stronger, function activated. The balance on your card—ptui—please check the Energy Function. Also, the system is not mysterious and does not require additional exploration."

Potential: 1396

Energy: 2

Training Speed: Medium

Usable Energy: 0

"What's this for?" Krillin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Since you asked so sincerely, this system shall mercifully tell you. Potential is the current upper limit of Battle Power you can increase to."

"Energy can be absorbed by your body to increase your training speed. Simply put, the more Energy you have, the faster your training speed will be. When Energy is below 10 points, it cannot be used."

"Then how can I obtain Energy?" Krillin asked eagerly.

"There are only two ways to obtain Energy. First, eat. Eating can grant Energy. Second, absorb objects containing powerful Energy."

"But I eat normally too. Why haven't I seen any Energy?"

"You don't look stupid. Don't you need Energy to survive? Don't you know Conservation of Energy?" The system could not help rolling its eyes.

"Let me tell you an even more explosive piece of news. Once Energy reaches a certain amount, it may trigger a qualitative change. You might have a chance to escape your height of 154 centimeters." The system said with a wicked grin.

Krillin burst into tears. He still had a chance to grow taller. He had originally planned to gather the Dragon Balls and make a wish someday, but it seemed he could save that wish now. Haha.

The red sun rose, lighting the path ahead. The river burst from its source and poured into a vast ocean. Without a doubt, Krillin was now a youth full of hope—no, an uncle.

As usual, Krillin went to deliver ingredients. Because business was booming, they had already rented a storefront, hired several employees, and begun operating regularly. They just sold limited quantities.

Krillin entered the shop and saw Fanyu working diligently. Even though there were many customers, Fanyu handled everything with ease. Not bad, a good kid. Krillin nodded in approval.

Recently, the effects of training beneath the sea seemed to be diminishing. Was it time to consider somewhere deeper, or somewhere with greater pressure? If so, he should find a successor. It was time for him to begin higher-intensity training.

When Fanyu saw his boss approach, he happily greeted him and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

"Hello, boss!" Such an easy job with such high pay had actually fallen into his hands. Fanyu could wake up laughing even in his dreams.

"Fanyu, have you considered changing jobs?"

Fanyu's face instantly turned pale, and despair filled his heart. Is the boss firing me? Right, how could such an easy job with such high pay really fall to me? I should already be satisfied after all these days.

"No... no, I haven't thought about it."

Seeing his expression change, Krillin thought, He really is an honest kid. He must have misunderstood.

He immediately continued, "You won't be a waiter anymore. Go procure ingredients instead. I'll increase your salary tenfold, but it'll be more tiring than this."

"I'm not afraid of being tired! No matter how tiring it is, I'm not afraid!"

The scene was like a modern college student who had just found a job and was not afraid of hardship. But Krillin was not a heartless boss. As long as he had enough money to spend, he did not care much about the amount.

Fanyu seemed a little dizzy. Tenfold? He immediately panicked. "That's too much. Ten thousand is already more than enough." His face seemed to redden.

Krillin interrupted Fanyu. "This is what you deserve. Come find me at Kame Island tomorrow. I'll send you the map later." After all, Kame Island was not somewhere ordinary people could find.

"Okay, okay, boss!" Fanyu replied excitedly.

The next day, just after dawn, Fanyu had already arrived at Kame Island, but he did not wake Krillin.

When Krillin woke up, he found Fanyu standing quietly beneath a coconut tree, waiting without any impatience. A teachable child indeed. Krillin kept nodding.

"Fanyu, let's go." Krillin used the Flight Technique and flew into the sky. Fanyu was stunned. How could a person fly? It was as though the door to a new world had opened in his heart, and the seed of the Martial Way was quietly planted within him.

"Hurry up and follow me. What are you spacing out for?" Krillin shouted.

Fanyu snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "Okay." He then drove his small boat after him.

About half an hour later, Krillin stopped above the sea.

"Alright, this is the place. The ingredients are down there. Fanyu, go down and try catching them," Krillin said to him.

Fanyu immediately dove into the sea.

Krillin had confidence in him. After all, he was a little genius with 25 Battle Power.

Sure enough, not long afterward, Fanyu surfaced with two lobsters and shouted happily, "Boss, look!" He pointed at the lobsters.

This kid is so clever? It took me quite a bit of effort back then.

After a while of catching, the two of them filled two small capsules together.

Krillin was also very happy. The handover was complete, and he could train better from now on.

"Boss, I'll head back first. The restaurant needs these ingredients," Fanyu said happily.

"Go on. Be careful on the sea."

"Mm." Fanyu nodded hard. "Goodbye, boss!"

"Xiaoxi, why do I still only have 4 Energy? I've eaten three times my usual amount these past few days." The system replied blandly, "The food contains little Energy."

"Alright!" Krillin was instantly left speechless.

The next day, Krillin set out early and headed for the deep sea. After finding a suitable location, he began diving. Ten meters, thirty meters... As the depth increased, the pressure beneath the sea continuously grew. At 150 meters, he reached the limit of the pressure he could currently endure. Every inch of his body felt as though it had been tied to a lead ball. The pressure was just right. Time to train.

Every punch had to withstand tremendous pressure. The water's resistance made every movement difficult, but only then could it achieve the desired training effect. After an hour, Krillin felt his physical strength reach its limit, so he slowly floated to the surface and felt his body gradually recover.

A shark seemed to be starving to the extreme. With only its dorsal fin exposed, it swam toward Krillin, intending to launch a surprise attack when he was off guard. In truth, Krillin had already noticed it the moment it appeared. After all, its Ki was much stronger than an ordinary person's.

The shark slowly waited for an opportunity, while Krillin also slowly waited for his chance. Suddenly, the shark leaped fiercely, opening its huge bloody mouth and biting toward Krillin. Krillin lightly jumped backward, dodging it perfectly, then struck its spine with a heavy punch. The shark was sent flying. It was still suspended in the air. Kamehameha! A flash of blue light passed by, and the shark no longer had any Ki.

Krillin flew over to it and looked at it. The weak were prey to the strong; only the fit survived. He said calmly, "System, absorb it."

Ding. The shark vanished in an instant, and the system's voice sounded. "Obtained Energy: 50. Opening Energy panel."

Use 50 Energy. Ding. Energy has been used. High-speed training obtained for the next 5 days.

After obtaining high-speed training, Krillin seemed to gain a deeper understanding of his Martial Way and became more sensitive to Ki. He had to keep at it.

However, the large animals in this sea area suffered terribly and were nearly slaughtered clean. Two hours later, the sea was still the same sea, calm and peaceful, but Krillin was no longer the same Krillin. "Xiaoxi, open the Energy panel."

Potential: 1393

Energy: 3056

Training Speed: High

Absorbable Energy: 3056

Use 3000 Energy. Ding. Obtained thirty days of ultra-speed acceleration. This feeling was even better. It was as if the Martial Way stood right before his eyes. He felt even stronger than after taking a strength pill. Haha, awesome! Time to go home.

"Every moment, I can feel my strength increasing. I suddenly have confidence again." Krillin smiled smugly to himself.

Master Mutian also seemed to sense the changes in Krillin. First, he radiated confidence. Second, the Martial Way aura emanating from within him seemed as though the Martial Way itself had taken tangible form.

"I'm old. From now on, it will be the era of the young!"

The future Earth will be protected by you!
