[The Grand Elder guided your potential, and your battle power instantly surged to ten times its original level.
You were deeply grateful to the Grand Elder, but still shamelessly took the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Afterward, you used Shenron to strengthen your talent, gained Frieza's ability to survive in the void, and finally wished for a perfect memory.]
[On May 28, you had mastered your suddenly increased strength and began trying to transform into a Super Saiyan using the Back-Tingling Method, but failed every time.]
[On May 29, you tried to transform into a Super Saiyan, but failed.]
[On May 30, you tried to transform into a Super Saiyan, but failed.]
[On June 30, you tried to transform into a Super Saiyan again, but still failed.]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Choose one of the following rewards:
1. Increase battle power to 10 times its current level
2. Secret Technique—Potential Guidance (Beginner 30/100)
3. Void Survival
4. Talent Enhancement
5. Perfect Memory
6. Experience transforming into a Super Saiyan
7. Future Memory]
As Saigo watched the repeated failures to transform into a Super Saiyan, he felt deeply frustrated, even though he knew his battle power was below the minimum requirement. Could it be that he still didn't have enough S-Cells?
The Saiyans of Universe 6 seemed to have weak base forms, yet could transform into Super Saiyans with ease. He figured they must have had so many S-Cells that transforming into a Super Saiyan was much easier for them.
As for trying to transform through anger, nothing had happened yet that made him feel truly furious.
When he saw the seven possible rewards, Saigo exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? The Grand Elder's secret technique wasn't something I wished for from Shenron. So why is it on the reward list?"
By rights, it shouldn't have been an option.
He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he put the question aside.
Then he began considering which reward would be the best choice.
"The first two rewards are both excellent, no doubt. But the first would only temporarily multiply my battle power by ten, while the second would benefit me in the long term..."
One would be useful to him and others, while the other could only be used by him!
The third reward, Void Survival, was pretty good too, but he set it aside for now. If it appeared again next time, he'd choose it.
As for the fourth reward, Talent Enhancement...
He figured Frieza's invasion of Planet Vegeta couldn't be far off.
According to the original timeline, Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta in Age 737, though the exact date was unknown.
For now, his priority was to increase his strength, not improve his talent.
So he set aside Talent Enhancement.
After weighing his options, Saigo made his decision.
He'd gotten the Potential Guidance secret technique as a reward this time, but there was no guarantee it would show up again.
Since he could get this reward without wishing on the Dragon Balls, he should definitely choose it!
He could always wish for the others later.
Besides, with this secret technique for guiding potential, he wouldn't have to focus solely on figuring out how to survive anymore.
He could see whether he might lead the Saiyans to make a name for themselves in this world.
Based on the simulation, the secret technique could also be used on himself. No matter how he looked at it, it was a good deal.
Saigo immediately chose the second reward.
"Choose the second one!"
"Ding! Selection successful! Congratulations, Host. You've obtained the Secret Technique—Potential Guidance (Beginner 30/100)!"
Saigo immediately opened the information panel and looked it over.
[Name]: Saigo [Age]: 2 [Potential]: Superior [Talents]: Great Ape, large appetite and strong digestion, battle power increases after recovering from injuries [Psychic Power]: 18 [Battle Power]: 213,750 [Secret Technique]: Potential Guidance (Beginner 30/100) [Skills]: Artificial Moon Flight Technique Ki Control (Proficient 68/1000) Hand-to-Hand Combat (Beginner 66/100) Ki Sense (Beginner 50/100) [Space]: None [Simulation Duration]: 3 months [Simulation Attempts]: 0
Seeing that a [Secret Technique] section had indeed appeared on the information panel, Saigo curiously tapped "Potential Guidance." Several lines of text immediately popped up.
[A secret technique of the Namekians. Few can learn it through training after birth; most can only learn it through inheritance, and very few master it. Beginner-level Potential Guidance can only increase a target's battle power tenfold. This secret technique can be used on oneself, but each person can only use it once in their lifetime.]
Saigo finished reading it word by word, and a bright smile spread across his face in an instant.
This secret technique was truly overpowered. Even at the beginner level, it could increase a target's battle power tenfold.
And it could be used on himself, too.
Saigo had never even dared to imagine that. In the original story, he'd only ever seen it used on others, never on oneself!
And if the beginner level could increase battle power by this much, wouldn't the proficient level raise it by a dozen times or more?!
Saigo could barely wait to try it. Without hesitation, he reached up and placed a hand on his head, but a moment later, he pulled it away.
"Wait!"
"My battle power is only 210,000 right now. Even if it goes up tenfold, that'll only be a little over two million. That's nowhere near the minimum battle power needed to become a Super Saiyan. It'd be a waste to use it now!"
"I should increase my base strength first. Besides, with 210,000 battle power, I've got enough to 'convince' King Vegeta!"
Saigo forced himself to abandon the idea of guiding his potential right away, then turned back to his training.
At the end of the day's training, his battle power had increased by another 50.
For the next two days, Saigo remained immersed in simulations and training.
He chose battle power as the reward each time, gaining a total of 9,000 battle power from the two simulations.
Two days of training also increased his battle power by 100.
Even a tiny gain was still a gain. Saigo didn't give up real-world training just because he had a cheat. He knew he was still weak.
In a world where danger could strike at any moment, he couldn't afford to slack off at all.
At least, not at this stage.
Time flew by.
Soon, May 4 arrived.
Morning.
Having learned from his earlier mistake, Saigo decided that from now on, he'd run his daily simulation every morning to avoid unnecessary losses.
He had to make good use of his cheat, just as he'd once needed to maximize the value of limited resources in a game.
Saigo understood that much.
With a thought, he opened the system panel.
He clicked [Start Simulation].
[May 4. You had been training for less than half an hour when Tarble and the nurse came to see you. You knew why they had come, but asked to see King Vegeta before leaving. The nurse didn't dare make the decision, but Tarble agreed. Ten minutes later. You successfully met King Vegeta. Using your "virtue to win people over" approach and your silver tongue, you managed to fool King Vegeta into obeying your every word...]
Seeing this, Saigo couldn't help grinning and grumbling, "What's this about a silver tongue? Wasn't 'convincing people with virtue' enough? Why make such a fuss?! What a waste!"
[...] Afterward, at your request, King Vegeta took you to the secret base. Once you arrived, King Vegeta followed your instructions and returned to carry out his duties, while you stayed at the secret base to train. During this time, King Vegeta personally brought you three meals a day. After a day of training, battle power +50.] [May 5. After a day of training, battle power +50.] ... [May 9. Vegeta III brought 19 elite warriors to the secret base to receive your instruction. You made sure to train during breaks in the lessons, and your battle power increased by 50.] ... [May 15. All 20 elite warriors, including Vegeta III, learned to freely control the energy within their bodies. You trained for the day, and your battle power increased by 50. [May 16. You led all 20 elite warriors in training at the secret base. After a day of training, your battle power increased by 50.] ... [On the morning of May 26, you used the secret technique—Potential Guidance—on yourself. In just a second or two, your battle power increased tenfold. Before and after using the secret technique, you kept your Ki under control so that you wouldn't let too much leak out. Apart from the 20 elite warriors who had learned Ki Sense, no one else on Planet Vegeta noticed. When Vegeta III and the others arrived at the secret base, you openly admitted that your strength had increased. Everyone was shocked and envious. Afterward, you had Vegeta III secretly prepare a Spherical Spaceship, then headed to Namek alone.] ... [June 10. You successfully reached Namek and met the Grand Elder. You asked him to guide your potential, but he said that your potential had already been guided, so he couldn't use the same method a second time. In the end, you had to settle for less and obtain the Grand Elder's approval to use the Dragon Balls once. You made a wish and successfully gained the ability to survive in the void and the Detection Eye ability, and strengthened your talent. Afterward, you began trying to transform into a Super Saiyan, but failed.]
Seeing this, Saigo's heart stirred.
As expected, Potential Guidance could only be used once in a person's lifetime!
But that made sense!
How could such an incredible skill have no limitations?!
People had to learn to be content and not be greedy!
Void Survival was pretty good, too!
With it, he wouldn't have to worry about low-oxygen or oxygen-free environments, and he could fly freely through space.
But what exactly was the Detection Eye? Was it for examining things?
Saigo couldn't figure it out right away. He shook his head slightly and continued reading.
[June 11. You continued trying to transform into a Super Saiyan, but failed again.] [June 12. Through the Grand Elder's illusion, you remembered the stirring scenes from your past life: on a battlefield, one hero after another charged forward without hesitation. Your fury instantly reached its peak, and you successfully transformed into the Pseudo Super Saiyan form! Unfortunately, you only maintained the Super Saiyan Form for a moment before reverting to your normal form, and you nearly fell asleep.]
Holy crap!
The Grand Elder could use illusions?!
That was worth trying to get! It'd be incredibly useful!
But did that species even exist in this world?!
Heh!
He hoped it did!
At that moment, Saigo's eyes gleamed with coldness and murderous intent. The temperature around him seemed to drop by several degrees.
It was quite some time before he continued reading.
[After you had rested, you tried again. Unfortunately, even with the Grand Elder's illusion to help you, you couldn't transform into the Pseudo Super Saiyan form, let alone the Super Saiyan Form.]
Saigo wasn't surprised. Illusions worked best when the target was completely unprepared.
Trying to use an illusion again to work himself into a state of extreme rage, as he had in the simulation, obviously wouldn't be easy.
He'd been prepared for it this time, so the effect would be much weaker.
It was like watching a horror movie: the first time could be scary, but the second time wasn't.
[June 13. You tried to transform into a Super Saiyan again, but failed.] ... [June 18. You knew that although you were a transmigrator with a mild temperament, you hadn't been in this world long enough to have enough S-Cells. You didn't have enough to sustain the Super Saiyan Form, so you decided to give up. That same day, you said farewell to the Grand Elder and set off for Planet Vegeta.] ...
``` [On the evening of July 3, you successfully returned to Planet Vegeta.]
Before you continue
