The Wind of the Animal-Type Earthlings Is About to Sweep the World

After finishing the barbecue, the owner rounded down the bill for Kairos, and he paid a full 10,000 yuan.

At a ten-to-one conversion rate, that single barbecue meal had cost 1,000 Huaxia Currency.

Kairos had eaten a great deal, and naturally attracted plenty of onlookers in the process.

After all, he was just a child, yet he had eaten so much barbecue in one go.

Worried that something might happen if Kairos ate too much, the owner settled the bill by rounding it down, indirectly refusing to serve Kairos any more food.

Kairos understood, so he did not care much.

He also knew that if he were to eat until he was full, he would need at least another twenty portions beyond what he had just eaten.

It was enough that he had tasted it and savored the aftertaste.

There would be plenty of chances to enjoy it again in the future.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Kairos could not help recalling a scene from the original story.

Master Roshi won the championship of the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament and received a reward of 500,000 in cash, only to spend the entire prize on one meal while treating everyone.

Kakarot alone had eaten the lion's share. Comparing that to his own barbecue meal now, it would indeed take at least two or three hundred thousand just to barely fill his stomach.

Fortunately, he had begun planning and preparing long before coming to Earth, storing more than ten tons of gold, silver, jewels, and rare ores.

Before the system had activated, they had been kept in the Spaceship's warehouse. Once he obtained the System Space, he moved everything into it.

Thinking of all the places where he would need money later, Kairos repeated his old trick. He used the Transformation Technique to turn into his appearance from his previous life again, then casually found a jewelry store in a mall and sold a piece of gold.

This time, the amount was a little larger—220 grams. The buyback price was still 2,000 yuan per gram, for a total of 440,000!

It seemed the gold buyback rates in this city were highly transparent and virtually identical everywhere.

A balance of 680,000 seemed like quite a lot, but it was clearly still insufficient for his future expenses.

So Kairos had already decided to visit other stores later and repeat the process.

As he continued wandering through the mall, Kairos was soon drawn in by a dense crowd.

When he went over, he discovered that the place leading down to the basement was actually the mall's cinema.

Because the newest movie was about to be released, everyone had come early to line up and buy tickets.

Kairos was somewhat interested in movies from Earth in the Dragon Ball world as well, so he decisively joined the queue.

There was still plenty of time. Rather than wandering around aimlessly, he might as well find something to do to pass the time.

Watching a movie was undoubtedly one of the best forms of entertainment.

After lining up for nearly fifteen minutes, Kairos bought his ticket. A regular seat cost 800 yuan, while a luxury seat cost 2,000 yuan.

A movie ticket was indeed quite expensive.

Of course, Kairos was not short on money now, so he chose the luxury seat without hesitation.

The seat was spacious and comfortable, equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage functions.

Simply put, it was a massage chair that allowed viewers to enjoy the movie more comfortably.

Quite a few people gave him odd looks when they saw a child like him sitting in a luxury seat.

But no one looked too deeply into it. At most, they merely thought, Are kids these days really this rich?

Kairos did not care about those looks. As the movie began, he watched it attentively.

The movie was titled Super Masked Hero. It was about an utterly ordinary human who gained the ability to transform, accidentally acquired immense power, and used his transformed masked-hero identity to punish evil and uphold justice, eventually reaching the pinnacle of life and winning the beauty's heart.

The film's sense of justice was very clear, and it reminded Kairos that this sort of style had indeed always been popular in the Dragon Ball world.

If it was not some Masked Hero, then it was a Superhero; there was also Ultraman, Captain Underpants, and so on... Even Son Gohan later became Great Saiyaman.

To be fair, Kairos saw many Animal-Type Earthlings in the movie.

So this was where the trend had come from.

Although not many people in major cities would choose to take drugs and become some sort of Animal-Type Earthling, the trend could not completely stop certain people from using Transformation Potions to gain special abilities.

For instance, cats were exceptionally agile, dogs had extraordinarily keen senses of smell, tigers possessed tremendous strength, and so on.

According to the original story's progression, the next ten years would be an era when Animal-Type Earthlings ran rampant.

It would not be until twenty years later that Animal-Type Earthlings gradually faded from the stage of history. No more humans would be willing to transform into animals, while ordinary people who had impulsively turned themselves into Animal-Type Earthlings would never be able to change back, completely ruining their lives.

From what Kairos understood, Animal-Type Earthlings fell into two broad categories.

Most of the ones appearing now should have been born as animal-type humans.

The Animal-Type Earthlings who would appear on a large scale in the future would all be transformed after drinking Transformation Potions.

Whenever people developed some special product, they always praised it to the skies. Not only did they sell it at exorbitant prices, but they also encouraged ignorant citizens to test it. Once disaster struck, the capitalists would withdraw, leaving ordinary people to suffer.

The movie lasted two hours. Even after it ended, Kairos still wanted more.

Since he had plenty of time anyway, he bought a ticket for another movie.

Of course, before watching it, Kairos transformed again and sold another batch of gold.

This time, he sold 355 grams and received 710,000 in cash.

It was worth mentioning that banknotes in the Dragon Ball world came in relatively large denominations. Though 1,000 was common, there were also 10,000 bills, so several hundred thousand was only a single stack.

They watched another movie, this time a workplace romance.

Most of the audience consisted of adult couples. Kairos sat among them and once again drew quite a few stares.

Kairos even found himself teased by a beautiful older woman.

Honestly, there were just too many beautiful women in the Dragon Ball world. Even while watching a movie, he could spot quite a few.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Other than watching two more movies, he spent the gaps before the next screenings going out to exchange money.

Although he only made two more transactions, the 765 grams of gold he sold between them earned him another 1.53 million.

Then Kairos summoned the Flying Nimbus again and headed for West City.

Judging by the time, it should have been around seven or eight in the morning in West City.

That was also the most suitable time to visit Briefs's home.

If he went too early, they might not have woken up yet.

If he went too late, he worried that Briefs might not be home.

Even in Age 737, the man had already founded Capsule Corporation and was its chairman. Naturally, he had countless matters to handle every day and would not be as relaxed as he was more than a decade later.

Upon arriving in West City again, Kairos saw a different scene. Compared to West City at night, its daytime prosperity was far beyond that of the city he had just been in.
