Dragon Ball World.

Age 762.

On a small mountain peak on Earth, a boy wearing an orange martial arts gi with a long sword strapped to his back stood still.

At this moment, he was staring at the sky with a dazed expression.

This boy was none other than Son Gohan, the son of Son Goku.

However, this Son Gohan was not the original Son Gohan from the story, but a transmigrator.

Just a few minutes ago, Su Xuan had still been working overtime at the office writing code. Just as he was about to finish, his vision suddenly went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in this world, becoming the five-year-old Son Gohan.

The time he was currently in was half a year after Son Goku and Raditz had perished together.

This meant that there was only half a year left until the day Vegeta and the others would arrive on Earth.

"Ding! Host bloodline confirmed. Commencing binding process!"

Just as Su Xuan had yet to fully adapt to his new identity, an electronic synthesized voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"System!"

Su Xuan spoke subconsciously, immediately snapping out of his daze.

At this moment, a blue progress bar with a percentage appeared before Su Xuan.

The percentage of the blue progress bar rose rapidly, and in just a moment, it reached 90%.

A few seconds later, the blue progress bar reached 100%.

"Cultivation System binding complete. Now, Master only needs to perform one push-up to increase your combat power by one point!"

"One push-up increases combat power by one point?"

Su Xuan was startled. This sounded somewhat like the training method of Saitama from One Punch Man.

"That is correct, Master!"

"Then System, if I train according to what you say, I won't go bald, will I?"

"What are you saying, Master? I am a conscientious system!"

"Conscientious?"

Usually, bad people claim to be good, while good people don't go around declaring themselves good.

"Forget it, saving my life is what matters now. If it really comes to that, I'll just wear a wig!"

"Master, you don't trust me!"

The system sounded a bit angry upon hearing this.

"I trust you, I definitely trust you!"

"Liar!"

Seeing the system acting so childish, Su Xuan immediately began to tease it.

"System, you wouldn't happen to be a girl, would you?"

"Pah, pah, pah! This system is a dignified man!"

"Fine, fine, fine, a dignified man! Then System, other systems usually come with a Newbie Gift Pack upon binding! Do you have any Newbie Gift Pack for me?"

"You said it yourself, those are other systems. I certainly don't have one!"

"..."

Su Xuan was left speechless.

You're so righteous even when you don't have one!

"Master, happiness is earned through hard work. Although I don't have a Newbie Gift Pack for you, as long as you train diligently, once your strength reaches a certain level, the system will reward you with an Upgrade Gift Pack!"

"How big is it?"

"As big as you can imagine!"

"..."

Su Xuan was speechless once again.

"System, do you think you're very humorous?"

"Not really, just average, third in the world!"

After hearing this, Su Xuan couldn't be bothered to argue with the system any further.

"Then System, can I only get stronger by doing push-ups?"

"Of course not. Master can also increase your physique through sit-ups, running, squats, pull-ups, and other forms of exercise!

Furthermore, the system is only for auxiliary enhancement!"

"Auxiliary enhancement?"

"Yes, simply put, Master already possesses a very powerful bloodline. Even without the system, you could still become stronger through training!"

"And the System simply allows the Master to grow stronger through casual cultivation, accelerating the Master's rate of improvement so that the Master has time to go on vacation!"

"Vacation!"

Hearing the word vacation, Su Xuan suddenly felt that the System was actually quite thoughtful.

But upon second thought, wouldn't it be even better if he had a system that allowed him to grow stronger without having to cultivate at all?

Sure enough... humans are never satisfied!

"Yes, Master!"

"Then from this day forward, I am Son Gohan!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan said to himself in his heart.

Following that, Son Gohan began doing push-ups on the edge of the cliff.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Master for doing one push-up, Combat Power +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Master for doing two push-ups, Combat Power +2!"

"System, can you stop making noise constantly?"

Listening to the sounds continuously emitted by the System, Son Gohan said with great irritation in his heart.

"Understood, Master!"

As the System spoke, it ceased making any further congratulatory sounds.

Son Gohan's ears were suddenly much quieter.

"10, 11, 12..."

Son Gohan counted how many he had done in his heart while performing the push-ups.

At first, Son Gohan found these push-ups somewhat tiring, but the more he did, the easier they felt.

However, the sweat on his body continued to pour out more and more.

The sun was scorching.

Unknowingly, it was already noon, and Son Gohan's stomach began to growl with hunger.

In the span of a single morning, Son Gohan had performed a total of over ten thousand push-ups.

And this was only because Son Gohan had started off relatively slowly; if he were to do those ten thousand push-ups now, he probably wouldn't even need two hours.

"By now, I should already be stronger than Son Goku, right?"

Son Gohan muttered to himself, then leaped down from the small peak.

After jumping down, Son Gohan immediately scanned his surroundings, searching for food.

Suddenly, a tremor came from the ground in the distance.

Son Gohan turned around to look and saw an earthy-yellow dinosaur.

There was a scar on the dinosaur's face, and most of its tail had been chopped off by someone.

And the person who had chopped off its tail was none other than Son Gohan.

Back when Son Gohan hadn't really cultivated much, he had been hunted by this creature as food.

Later, as Son Gohan's strength increased, he would chop off a bit of tail meat to eat every time he encountered it.

This guy was a creature that remembered the meal but forgot the beating; every time Son Gohan finished chopping its tail, the next time they met, it would still hunt Son Gohan as if he were food.

"It's you, big dinosaur!"

Seeing food delivered to his doorstep, a smile immediately appeared on Son Gohan's face.

He promptly drew the longsword from his back and waited for the dinosaur to approach.

"Swish..."

Just as the dinosaur was not far from Son Gohan, he suddenly leaped into the air, jumping behind the dinosaur.

Before the dinosaur could react, Son Gohan swung his longsword downward with both hands, directly severing its tail.

"Ah!"

The dinosaur let out a miserable shriek, its body instinctively lunging forward until it slammed into the mountain ahead and knocked itself unconscious.

"Thank you, dinosaur!"

Son Gohan smiled, gathered some firewood from the surroundings, and started a fire.

Once the fire was large enough, Son Gohan immediately used his sword to roast the dinosaur meat.

A long while later, the dinosaur meat was cooked, and the famished Son Gohan quickly picked up the roasted meat and began to eat.

"Wow! So hot!"

"Mmm, delicious! I didn't expect the taste of this dinosaur meat to be so fresh and tender!"

In Su Xuan's previous life, dinosaurs were animals that had long since gone extinct; if he hadn't transmigrated into the Dragon Ball world, he would never have had the chance to eat dinosaur meat.
