Lin Chuan's Plan, Son Gohan's Arrangement

With a Battle Power exceeding 100 million, he could withstand the edge of Frieza!

This was merely the foundation!

After all, only by meeting the required Battle Power could he stand on the same platform to confront him face-to-face.

Of course, he would not rely solely on the system.

While his Battle Power value could certainly grow continuously through the system, other aspects could not!

He himself needed to take action and train: techniques, skills, combat methods, combat experience...

Only in this way could his true combat effectiveness match the Battle Power he possessed!

Although the system was incredibly powerful, Lin Chuan always had the feeling that, at his current strength, he could clearly be even stronger.

Imagine if his own Battle Power broke 100 million, but he could only exert a level of combat effectiveness barely reaching the tens of millions—what would that count for?

In other words, if he relied purely on the system, it would indeed be no problem to crush Frieza in the near future. But if he only possessed Battle Power equivalent to Frieza's final form, he would still be the one crushed by Frieza.

If such a situation were to occur, he would truly be a failure.

Frankly, Lin Chuan now possessed immense confidence.

Thinking back to his time on Planet V3114, it was because resources were limited and conditions were restricted that he could only raise his strength to 15,000 Battle Power, let alone explore any method for a Super Saiyan transformation.

Simply put, the S-Cells activated within his body were insufficient—how could he transform?

There were methods for the Super Saiyan 1 transformation in the Super era, so after researching for a period of time to no avail, Lin Chuan had identified this reason.

Now on Earth, there were thousands of possibilities. Just the training methods provided by the original work alone included many that were applicable to him.

For instance, gravity training was the most formidable training method of this era.

When Son Goku from the original work went to King Kai's Planet to train, while it was partly due to King Kai's guidance, the ten times Earth's gravity was also a key factor.

Then there was the time later on when Son Goku was healed after being severely injured, activating his Saiyan traits to become stronger, and reaching 90,000 Battle Power after training in 100 times gravity.

The time consumed during that period was a mere six days!

Withdrawing his focus, Lin Chuan shifted his gaze away from the main hall of Kami's Lookout.

As of now, it was still a bit too early to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get stronger quickly, but two problems existed.

First, whether the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was recognized by the system and whether it could be used to grind Battle Power was an unknown variable; after all, it was a bug. He had tried to contact it, but had never received any response, nor did the system provide any prompts. This made him feel that the system was a half-finished product—he didn't even know how to level it up.

Second, even if the system allowed it, the current Level 1 ability only grants +1 Battle Power per second. If he were to enter now and spend two years inside, he would only increase his Battle Power by a little over sixty million. But if the system level were to increase in the future, allowing for +10, +100, or even +1,000 Battle Power per second, entering then would be the optimal choice!

Haste makes waste.

It was only after careful consideration that Lin Chuan made his decision.

At the very least, he could rely on himself to grow stronger for now!

He could simply treat the system's Battle Power increase as a secondary aid.

Taking a deep breath and shifting his focus, Lin Chuan looked over at Son Gohan.

Recalling what Son Goku had said before leaving—entrusting Son Gohan to him—Lin Chuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Son Goku's intention was for him to mentor Son Gohan. A clever plan indeed: he goes off to win over his own older brother, while using his son to build a relationship with him.

Lin Chuan had wanted to refuse, but seeing how obedient and proactive Son Gohan was, he found it difficult to turn him down directly.

Therefore, he only agreed to look after him for a while; taking him on as a disciple was out of the question.

Even though Son Gohan possessed terrifying potential and was destined to be the strongest individual warrior in the future.

But if he were to follow him, what would happen to Piccolo?

The current Piccolo was still King Piccolo. In the original story, it was precisely because of Son Gohan's companionship that he was able to change completely.

In the end, Lin Chuan decided to take Son Gohan along for now and find an opportunity to send him to Piccolo later...

Besides, given his own teaching methods and habits, he was genuinely afraid that if the boy really trained under him, he might end up breaking him.

After all, the kid was only four years old...

Walking forward slowly, Lin Chuan left the edge of Kami's Lookout.

Just as he was about to go over and say something to Bulma, her voice reached his ears.

"Honestly, he's still not back after all this time. Just waiting and waiting here is so boring."

She had been full of curiosity about Kami's Lookout initially, but after spending over twenty minutes exploring every corner of the place without finding anything special, her curiosity had turned into disappointment.

Beside her, Krillin and Master Roshi were much more patient.

They were better at reading the situation and knew that they had no choice but to wait here for now.

"Alright, Bulma, this isn't the time to be impatient. You were the one clamoring to come up here earlier, weren't you?" Krillin couldn't help but retort.

Before he could say anything more, he saw his master's expression turn serious, and he followed his gaze.

He saw Lin Chuan walking over quickly. Krillin became alert, his face covered in cold sweat.

From beginning to end, Lin Chuan had been too mysterious and too powerful.

Seeing how nervous and resistant they were, Lin Chuan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he spoke directly to Bulma: "You won't be bored in a little while. Kakarot... never mind, I'll call him Son Goku, you're more familiar with that name! That kid Son Goku should have already told you: help me find the Dragon Balls on Earth."

As his words fell, Lin Chuan waited for Bulma's response.

Having just sent off Kami, Piccolo, Son Goku, and Raditz, Lin Chuan hadn't said anything else.

Mentioning it now was just to confirm, so they could go search for them shortly.

There were certain wishes that Lin Chuan couldn't wait to see fulfilled.

For him, some time could be spent, but other time he was unwilling to waste.

"Since Goku asked me to, I'll definitely help you look for them."

"But honestly, I'm very curious. You're already so powerful, what kind of wish could you possibly need the Dragon Balls to help you fulfill?"

"Could it be immortality? World domination? Goku specifically said that if it were those kinds of wishes, I should stop you."

As Bulma spoke, a strange, mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"If I really wanted to make those kinds of wishes, how would you stop me?" Lin Chuan put on a conspiratorial expression.

This display immediately terrified Krillin, Master Roshi, and Yajirobe, who were standing before him.

Bulma, however, was completely unfazed.

She seemed to know that Lin Chuan wasn't the type of unreasonable, evil, and tyrannical Saiyan.

"That's why I said he's a big idiot," Bulma said.

"How so?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise.
