Facing Frieza!

Rat-a-tat-tat...

The sounds of battle alerted the entire ship, and a large group of aliens rushed in, each carrying an energy gun.

As soon as the aliens poured in, they aimed their guns at Mu Chuan.

However...

When they saw the aliens lying on the ground, they were all taken aback.

What was going on?

Why had this Saiyan, who didn't look like much of a fighter, so easily killed those aliens?

It shook them up a little.

"Don't move! Move again, and we won't go easy on you!"

"This is King Frieza's ship! You stinking monkey, how dare you cause trouble here? Do you think you can act up just because we saved your life?"

The aliens were surprised, but they were even angrier.

That stinking monkey with a tail had killed one of their own—and right on their turf! They couldn't stand for that!

Mu Chuan ignored them.

He walked over to one of the aliens he'd knocked down, crouched, picked up the Scouter, and slipped it onto his ear with practiced ease.

He'd never seen one in person, but he'd seen plenty in the anime, so it didn't feel unfamiliar.

Mu Chuan's every move made the aliens uneasy. They looked ready to open fire at any moment.

He activated the Scouter and glanced around.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

"Power level 1,100... power level 1,234... power level 1,400..."

"The highest power level is only 1,400? Pathetic!"

After scanning the area, Mu Chuan decided that these aliens were ridiculously weak. Their highest power level was only 1,400—an embarrassing sight.

That put him even more at ease!

This was Frieza's spaceship, no doubt, but from the conversation he'd overheard in the healing pod, he knew Frieza hadn't made a move against the Saiyans yet.

He was still watching and waiting.

So he didn't need to be too afraid. As for these ridiculously weak aliens, he could probably kill them without a second thought.

Would the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, really bother with a few nobodies?

"What did you say? Say that again if you've got the guts, you loathsome stinking monkey!"

"Oh... your power levels are so weak. If I were you, I'd have pointed an energy gun at my own head and pulled the trigger by now."

"If you're weak, admit it. Don't be so shameless."

Mu Chuan wasn't the least bit intimidated. If anything, his attitude was downright defiant.

That immediately set the aliens off!

Pew-pew-pew...

Bang! Bang! Bang...

The aliens attacked without hesitation. Their energy guns blasted the equipment in the healing pod, and it immediately began exploding.

The aliens tore the place apart.

Smoke filled the air. Every machine in the pod was shot to pieces, all the wires were severed, and the smoke blocked their view.

"Hahaha... you loathsome stinking monkey! You can't act so cocky now, can you? You think you can mouth off to me? Go to hell!"

The alien laughed smugly, especially as he looked at the wrecked healing pod. It made him feel even more pleased with himself.

But the next second, his grin froze.

"You're the ones who should go to hell!"

Zzzzt~

A streak of red energy blasted out, wiping out every alien in one shot. It destroyed all their equipment, too.

Not even a speck remained!

"What was that noise?"

Frieza sat on his hover pod, his tail swishing back and forth. Hearing a noise from somewhere on his ship, he asked in puzzlement.

Zarbon looked around, then replied with certainty, "It seems to have come from the healing pod where that Saiyan was just now."

"Oh~ how interesting!"

"Looks like the little guy's awake. He's got quite a temper. Let's go take a look at him."

Frieza piloted his hover pod toward the place where Mu Chuan was.

Zarbon followed close behind.

After dealing with all the aliens, Mu Chuan knew he'd soon face opponents with much higher power levels. With his strength, he probably wouldn't last long.

Frieza had a whole host of powerful aliens under his command. The strongest among them were the Ginyu Force, whose power levels were generally over 40,000, with the strongest reaching as high as 120,000.

He was still too weak to handle them anytime soon.

But he wasn't afraid.

Being a Saiyan was already a great shield for him.

He wasn't backing down!

Just as his spirits soared, his Scouter suddenly blared an alarm. The power level displayed on it was about to max out, and before he could get a good look—

With a bang, the Scouter exploded.

At that moment, he sensed someone approaching from behind. He slowly turned around, and at the sight of them, he froze in place.

"Hey, little guy. You look lively. You just woke up and already killed my men. How should I punish you?"

"After all, I'm the one who saved your life!"

Frieza regarded Mu Chuan with an amused expression. Zarbon stood nearby with his arms folded. He first surveyed the wrecked healing pod, then turned his gaze to Mu Chuan.

"It's pretty badly damaged. How about we make him work for us..."

"Since we saved him, and he's damaged the healing pod, he can work for us until he's paid off his debt."

"That's the only way."

"We're heading to Planet Vegeta anyway. I'll bring the little guy along."

Without waiting to hear what Mu Chuan thought, Frieza turned and left as soon as he finished speaking.

Someone as weak as Mu Chuan wasn't worth a second glance. If he hadn't been a Saiyan, Frieza wouldn't have gone out of his way to save him.

Zarbon, however, didn't leave.

He began assigning Mu Chuan his work. Since they'd said he would make up for the damage by working, they intended to keep their word.

Mu Chuan also decided to behave himself for the time being. He'd only just arrived and couldn't afford to act too arrogantly. He knew the handsome-looking Zarbon was no pushover.

Especially after transforming, Zarbon's power level became even more astonishing.

Mu Chuan was still no match for him. He'd have to train harder—or wait until he could claim his login reward. Then he might have a chance of defeating Zarbon.

Until he could match Zarbon's power level, he had to be careful and keep a low profile. Otherwise, he really could get killed!

In the end, Mu Chuan was assigned to a squad of aliens. He became the squad leader, since his power level was as high as 2,400, far above that of most aliens.

Who else could be their leader?

At the same time as he took charge of the squad, he was given a mission. It wasn't difficult, but it did require him to leave the spaceship for a while.

Mu Chuan... had no choice but to accept.
