System Upgrade, Combat Power Boost

Carnegie and the other two exchanged glances.

However, after taking a look at Soya, the three of them felt much more balanced in their hearts.

It was fortunate that there was a Soya to run in and be the "bean."

This way, we have one less chance of being the bean ourselves.

"Prince Vegeta has gone to sleep, so he will not be participating in the game," Nappa said with a smile.

Although Vegeta was only five years old this year, his combat power had already reached the height of 15,000, making him the most gifted warrior among the Saiyans.

Perhaps some might ask, why did Vegeta have a combat power of 15,000 at age five, yet by the time he went to Earth at nearly 30, his combat power was only 18,000—an increase of a mere 3,000? Isn't that a bit absurd?

In fact, this is a perfectly normal occurrence.

During this period, a combat power of 15,000 was enough to walk sideways on almost any planet.

A combat power of 15,000 is equivalent to a level 90 high-level character killing mobs in a newbie village.

Never mind killing for a year; even if you killed newbie mobs for 100 years, you wouldn't be able to level up.

It was already quite remarkable that Vegeta managed to raise his combat power to 18,000.

Furthermore, Frieza gave Vegeta special treatment, rarely letting him go to planets with powerful combatants to fight.

In reality, there really aren't that many humans with a combat power exceeding 15,000.

If you carefully calculate the many characters with off-the-charts combat power who appeared later in Dragon Ball, there aren't actually that many, and most of them are gathered on a single planet.

Saiyans grow stronger when facing strong opponents; when no strong enemies appear, it is very difficult for their combat power to advance further.

Take the Android era, for example.

Although Trunks had come back via the time machine to speak of the terror of the Androids, Son Goku and Vegeta had never actually seen them.

One might argue that since Son Goku and Vegeta had three years to train properly, were they unable to surpass the Androids?

That is not the case. If they had fought the Androids once and then gone to train, I believe it would have been easy for them to surpass them.

Therefore, when a Saiyan encounters an opponent stronger than themselves—well, provided the opponent isn't absurdly strong—they will frantically increase their own combat power.

For instance, during the Namek era, Vegeta increased his combat power to over 2 million in one go.

If the opponent is too absurdly strong, like Beerus when he first appeared in Dragon Ball Super, they are existences from a different dimension, so of course, it is impossible to defeat them.

Take the current Frieza, for example; with a combat power in the hundreds of millions, he is also an existence several dimensions higher, and he would not cause a Saiyan to increase their combat power just because of him.

Vegeta's first 30 years were at their peak when he was five.

Before he met Kakarot, his combat power growth was extremely slow.

It was only after Vegeta went to Earth and engaged in a life-or-death battle with Son Goku, nearly dying, that his combat power saw a significant increase.

In the current team, the one with the second-highest combat power is Nappa.

Nappa's combat power has reached the height of 3,000.

Next is Raditz, with a combat power of 700.

Judging from the interviews with Akira Toriyama, he did indeed state that Raditz belongs to the class of high-level warriors.

The Saiyan evaluation of high-level warriors likely refers to the combat power value at the time of birth.

After all, Raditz's combat power was already over 200 when he was born.

Those with combat power between 100 and 200 are mid-level warriors.

Those with combat power below 100 are low-level warriors.

As for what height you will reach later on, no one cares about that.

Then there is Soya, with a combat power of 600.

Carnegie: combat power 500.

Kuri: combat power 450.

Baru: combat power 440.

Therefore, for this game, a draw will be held among Soya, Carnegie, and the other two; whoever draws the "bean" will be beaten.

From the way Nappa and Raditz were exchanging glances, it was obvious to Soya that these two had already conspired.

"There are four beans here: three green beans and one red bean. We call the red bean the 'bean'!" Nappa looked at Soya and the other three with a smile, placed the four beans into a jar, shook it vigorously, and set it on the ground.

"Start!" Raditz chuckled, his face looking incredibly punchable. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being the four with the lowest combat power in this team! Once your combat power surpasses mine, I will participate in the game too!"

"Really?" Soya's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's real, could this be a lie?" Raditz rolled his eyes at Soya and added with a smile, "Come to think of it, Soya, your combat power is only 100 less than mine. As long as you work hard, there is still hope for you to catch up to me."

"Mm-hmm." Soya nodded.

"But I will absolutely not give you that chance!" Raditz chuckled.

"Um... wait a moment, I'll try catching up right now." Soya rubbed his hands together.

Raditz: "????"

Nappa was also a bit bewildered.

Carnegie and the other two exchanged glances, unable to fathom what Soya was planning.

"Wait 30 seconds for me!" Soya waved his hand at Nappa and the others.

Nappa didn't object; what was 30 seconds, after all?

In this Spaceship, time was the one thing they had in abundance.

This long interstellar journey was truly a boring affair.

Soya checked his system list and discovered he had already accumulated 100,000 Negative Emotion Points.

A portion of these Negative Emotion Points had been farmed from Vegeta and the others today.

Some had also come from other Saiyans.

Soya had even harvested quite a few Negative Emotion Points back when he accompanied Bardock to Planet Cereal.

100,000 Negative Emotion Points!

Every 10,000 Negative Emotion Points could be used for one lucky draw.

Every draw was a guaranteed win!

100,000 points meant a 10-pull.

Soya didn't hesitate and immediately initiated the 10-pull.

"Congratulations on obtaining 9 Battle Power!"

"Congratulations on obtaining 5 Battle Power!"

"Congratulations on obtaining 2 Battle Power!"

Soya cursed inwardly.

This damn system!

It was adding Battle Power in single digits.

Did you think my Battle Power only increased by 300 for no reason?

However, when the fifth draw of the 10-pull hit, it suddenly froze.

It was as if the system had crashed.

Soya broke out in a cold sweat.

System, don't you dare malfunction now.

Even if you are going to break, at least wait until I've raised my Battle Power to over 3 million.

It hung for about three seconds.

"System upgrade successful! Current version is 1.0!"

Soya was slightly stunned.

That freeze just now... it had secretly gone off to upgrade.

Was it just a beta version before?

"Congratulations on obtaining 33 Battle Power!"

"Congratulations on obtaining 22 Battle Power!"

"Congratulations on obtaining 55 Battle Power!"

Soya felt a surge of excitement.

This damn system was finally being generous.

The Battle Power gains had started to reach double digits.

Soya immediately checked his Battle Power value.

Battle Power 780!

His Battle Power had increased by 180 points.

"Congratulations on obtaining Battle God Water!"

The final message provided by the system.
