The Second Elder's Trial

At this moment, the Second Elder spoke up, "Young man, we have only one trial, and it is very simple. However, you should know that it will only get harder as you go."

Wei Dong replied, "I understand."

The Second Elder said, "Then your trial is to plant Puffball Fungus Trees." Having said that, he handed Wei Dong a shovel.

Wei Dong looked bewildered and asked, "Plant trees? Just one?"

The Second Elder said, "How could that be? That would be too easy for you. You must finish planting 100 of them, and they must be planted properly—crooked ones don't count."

Just then, the system spoke: System detected a trigger for a mission selection.

Option 1: Refuse to plant the Puffball Fungus Trees. Reward: 100 Oak seeds.

Option 2: Accept the Second Elder's task. Reward: Title of Tree Planter and a 10x gravity chamber.

Option 3: Exceed the task requirements by planting 1,000 Puffball Fungus Trees. Reward: One Senzu Bean Potted Plant.

Wei Dong was stunned and asked the system, "What is a Senzu Bean Potted Plant?" The system replied, "It is a plant that produces 3 Senzu Beans every day." Wei Dong didn't hesitate for a second and chose Option 3.

He then turned to the Second Elder and said, "I am willing to plant 1,000 Puffball Fungus Trees."

The Second Elder was overjoyed—this was basically free labor. He replied, "Of course you can."

Wei Dong soon regretted it. Damn it, how long is it going to take to plant 1,000 of these trees? Plus, I can only eat leaves every day, and sometimes I accidentally eat the Puffball Fungus Trees to death.

Because Namek has no food and Namekians only drink water, Wei Dong was severely malnourished—he was as thin as a monkey and still had to do such exhausting work every day. The most ridiculous part was that Namek has three suns, so there is no night, only day.

After more than five years of hard work, the 1,000 Puffball Fungus Trees were finally finished. By this time, the young boy had also grown into an adult.

Wei Dong's combat power had reached 1,314. Sigh, this 1,314 was only achieved through constant potential unlocking by the Great Elder. However, it seemed that after Wei Dong planted the 1,000 trees, Namek had improved significantly, and the Namekians were very grateful to me.

Actually, Wei Dong felt there was no need to thank him; the one they should really thank was the system. If it weren't for the Dragon Balls and the Senzu Bean Potted Plant, I would have run away a long time ago. After all, planting these 1,000 trees made me doubt the meaning of life; I felt like I was becoming a tree myself, planting trees every single day.

However, Wei Dong did build himself a house, using the Puffball Fungus Trees, of course. The Namekians originally wanted to give me something like clay, but I told them it wasn't necessary. Of course, Wei Dong suspected they might have just been stingy about the Puffball Fungus Trees.

After this task was completed, several elders indicated that no further trials were needed. However, the Elder of Wisdom wanted to test Wei Dong's wisdom, to which Wei Dong replied, "You think you're smarter than my system?"

During the wisdom test, Wei Dong answered fluently, leaving the Namekians impressed. There was no helping it; this was just my strength.

Now, only one Dragon Ball trial remained: the combat trial. Although Namekians do not like to fight, their requirement for Wei Dong was to defeat a 20-year-old Namekian, which was an almost impossible task.

The problem was that Wei Dong was only 18. Being 18 was one thing, but why did that Namekian have a combat power of 3,000? How was Wei Dong supposed to fight that? It seemed one shouldn't underestimate the Namekians; after all, I couldn't beat him at all right now.

However, the system did have some perks.

I could exchange system coins for items.

The problem was that system coins required completing tasks. Checking in every day only gave 0.01 coins.

I only had a little over 3 system coins now, as I had spent some. After all, when you're drifting through the world, how can you not spend money?

At this point, I requested the elders to use the Dragon Balls, saying I would only use them twice. The elders saw that I had it rough and agreed.

Namek finally welcomed a night it hadn't seen in a long time. Every Namekian knew that when the sky turned black, it meant the Eternal Dragon was appearing.

Of course, some Namekians had never seen the Eternal Dragon, so they rushed back from all over the planet to see what it looked like.

After the Eternal Dragon appeared, it asked a Namekian for the first wish.

Wei Dong made his wish directly: "I want a super invincible, ultra-fast, the most badass, luxury, cosmic, badass spaceship equipped with gravity control."

The Namekian was bewildered but still relayed the message. The Namekian felt a mix of emotions inside; after all, what kind of nonsense was this?

Once the Eternal Dragon heard it, it said, "Young man, your wish is granted: a gravity-controlled, high-speed spaceship."

Wei Dong asked, "Eternal Dragon, how much gravity does it have, and how is its speed?"

The Namekian on the side repeated it to the Eternal Dragon word for word.

The Eternal Dragon replied, "150x self-adjusting gravity, and its speed is among the fastest in the universe."

Then the Eternal Dragon asked for my second wish, and the Namekian translated it for me.

Wei Dong thought for a long time. He couldn't think of any better wishes; after all, this Eternal Dragon wasn't omnipotent. If it were, I would have just wished to be a Super Saiyan.

Wei Dong made his second wish to the Eternal Dragon: to restore the Great Elder to his youth.

The Namekian on the side looked surprised and said, "Are you sure? You're actually quite kind-hearted."

Wei Dong confirmed it, saying, "I'm sure."

The Namekian nodded and told the Eternal Dragon to restore the Great Elder's appearance. At that moment, a beam of light descended from the sky onto the Great Elder's home.
