Talent Card?

In the mountain forest, which had been almost completely razed to the ground, massive boulders lay scattered everywhere, presenting a scene of utter desolation.

In this lifeless and barren place, four figures stood at this moment, three of them surrounding a boy lying on the ground, unconscious and of unknown status, as if discussing something.

"Looking at this state, with a few scratches on his hands and a tail on his back... could this really be that giant ape from just a moment ago?"

Zoro rubbed his chin, striking a thoughtful pose as he questioned the other two.

"Besides, putting everything else aside, he's actually quite good-looking."

Li Jiahao looked down at the sleeping boy, appraising him. Hmm, a perfect physique, eight-pack abs, though the posture is a bit unsightly.

"This boy must belong to some special race, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to transform into a giant ape with that kind of terrifying power. Furthermore, the scale of the transformation seems massive—at least several dozen times over. Otherwise, given his current physical strength, I won't say a casual strike, but I predict he wouldn't even be able to withstand the most basic Fire Style jutsu."

Uchiha Madara naturally understood that the giant ape that had just destroyed his Complete Body Susanoo was the very boy transformed before him. Because, not to mention that suspicious tail, there wasn't a single living creature—let alone a massive one—to be found for ten miles around. Plus, the fact that a person had appeared right at the center of the battlefield was enough to draw some conclusions.

Although he felt a bit annoyed, Uchiha Madara had to admit that when the boy transformed into the giant ape, the sheer power was enough to make even him feel a trace of alarm.

"But what puzzles me is, if he can transform into such a terrifying creature, why would the Chat Group issue a rescue mission?"

Zoro, standing to the side, pointed out the crux of the issue.

That's right, why indeed? The other two began to ponder as well.

Just then, as Li Jiahao quietly watched the boy lying on the ground—the one with a tail who could transform into a giant ape—he felt a growing sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this somewhere before.

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck, like a bolt of lightning hitting Li Jiahao's mind, bringing with it a completely different sensation and a brand-new perspective derived from the depths of his memories.

"Isn't this a Saiyan? Could it be that this is the Dragon Ball world?"

Once he thought of this, everything began to connect and finally made sense.

Dragon Ball is a famous shonen manga and anime from Earth, and the influence and popularity it carries are immense. Its protagonist, Kakarot, also known as Son Goku, is a Saiyan. And every Saiyan possesses a specific ability: upon seeing a full moon, they transform into a giant ape, increasing their overall strength by ten times! A terrifying tenfold multiplier!

Night, full moon, transformation—these two points left Li Jiahao stunned in place. Unbeknownst to him, the thick clouds had parted, revealing a sliver of moonlight.

Oh no, I have to cut off his tail; the full moon is about to appear again.

Thinking of this, Li Jiahao's first instinct was to cut off the tail of the Saiyan boy on the ground; it was the safest course of action!

But just then, the sound of the mission completion notification rang out in his mind from the Chat Group, interrupting Li Jiahao's train of thought.

Ding! Detected that group member [Saiyan from Earth] is now in a safe situation, with no danger within a ten-kilometer radius.

Congratulations to [Ninja World Asura], [World's Greatest Swordsman], and [Lord of Time and Space Awakening] for completing the rescue mission. You have each received 1,000 points and a mysterious gift pack.

[Opera Performer Who Likes Rock]: "You all are truly amazing, completing the mission so quickly."

[Arataki Gang Boss]: "Hahahaha, as expected of a Chat Group that connects the myriad worlds, everyone is quite impressive. You're almost as reliable as I am."

[Death God Elementary Student]: "Logically speaking, I still can't believe that a Chat Group connecting so many worlds actually exists."

[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "Of course it's real. The best way to solve your doubts is to use the points you get from checking in to perform a comprehensive enhancement on yourself; then you'll believe it. For now, don't use your free opportunities; it's most cost-effective to save them for major advancements later."

[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "I didn't notice before, but the newcomer to be rescued is actually a Saiyan. This is a combat race with infinite potential, even in this high-risk world."

[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "By the way, the new members who are still lurking, use your check-in points to enhance yourselves, then read the announcements. Once you understand what the Chat Group is, it will be easier for everyone to get along."

[Lord of Time and Space Awakening]: "There is also a 'Fate Trajectory' function. You can all take a look at it to see your approximate future before joining the Chat Group. However, if you want detailed future situations, specific time points, or events, you will need to pay extra points. These functions are all very practical."

Ding! Group member [Lord of Time and Space Awakening] has resolved the doubts of new members and received 1,000 points.

[Universal Family Planning Director]: "?"

[Death God Elementary Student]: "?"

[Opera Performer Who Likes Rock]: "?"

[Arataki Gang Boss]: "?"

[Arataki Gang Boss]: "This plus sign is really fun; you can just tap it to copy the previous person's message."

[Death God Elementary Student]: "I was just curious, so I tapped it too..."

[Ninja World Asura]: "This mission was strange enough. It was supposed to be a rescue mission, but I feel like this group member didn't need us to save him at all. Still, getting 1,000 points for free, plus a small gift pack, is nice."

[World's Greatest Swordsman]: "Indeed. But have you opened your gift packs? I already opened mine and got a Sword Talent Card."

As he said this, he posted an image.

[Item: Sword Talent Card] [Grade/Quality: Tier 3 Top-Grade Talent Card] [Effect: Unconditionally increases sword talent by three to five levels] [Description: After using this, even if you have zero talent for the sword, you will instantly become a sword prodigy!]

The golden card and the talent description were dazzling. Items that can increase talent are extremely rare everywhere; any random talent-boosting card in the group mall costs several thousand points or more.

It was clear that its value was immense.

Uchiha Madara looked at Zoro beside him and saw that he had actually pulled such an item; he couldn't help but feel a stir of agitation in his heart.

He immediately opened his own mysterious gift pack. A flash of blue light swept past, but the item inside made the face of the Ninja World Asura, Uchiha Madara, turn completely black.
