The moment he saw the world he was in, He Lingxuan felt as though he suddenly understood everything.
The Dragon Ball World?
Why had he come here?
And why did he have Saiyan Bloodline, even if it was only low-grade?
All kinds of questions swirled through He Lingxuan's mind, but he quickly came back to his senses. Now wasn't the time to think about any of that. The most important thing was to find something to cover himself with.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through He Lingxuan's mind. Chat Groups usually had a Group Mall, and they basically sold everything. As long as he had points—which he could probably get by checking in—he'd have enough to buy a set of clothes.
With that thought, He Lingxuan didn't hesitate. He opened the Chat Group interface and started looking around.
Sure enough, just as he'd expected, the Group Mall could tailor a decent-quality outfit for just one point.
No one would do this under normal circumstances. After all, points were precious. But to him, nothing mattered more right now than having a complete set of clothes.
So he immediately checked in.
"Ding! Congratulations, you've successfully checked in and received the maximum 100 points. Since this is your first check-in, you've also received one draw from the Heavens Roulette."
?
What a pleasant surprise.
But the moment he received the points, He Lingxuan spent one of them to get dressed.
An indescribably mysterious power enveloped He Lingxuan's body, and a set of snug-fitting clothes appeared on him in an instant. They'd even thoughtfully left a hole for the tail on his back, allowing it to poke through and move freely.
He tried moving his tail and found it pretty fun. But after playing with it for a while, He Lingxuan began to think about how he was going to survive from here on.
Even though he now had a full 100 points of combat power and was no longer a weakling, this Dragon Ball World—whose era he didn't even know—was still incredibly dangerous.
At the very least, he needed to train himself while figuring out what point in the timeline this world was at. He'd had enough of the miserable life he'd led in his previous life. Starting with this new one, he would keep improving through battle and enjoy the thrill of fighting.
Fight the fiercest battles, drink the strongest liquor, eat the biggest slabs of meat, and marry a few beautiful women—that was He Lingxuan's goal from now on!
For now, the first step was to open that First-Kill Gift Pack and see what he got. Ideally, it would help him quickly boost his combat power in the early stages.
"System, open the First-Kill Gift Pack!"
"Your First-Kill Gift Pack has been opened. Congratulations on your incredible luck! You've obtained the top-tier skill [Ability Theft]!"
Ability Theft?
Confused, He Lingxuan opened the system to read the detailed description of Ability Theft.
Skill: [Ability Theft]
Effect: Allows you to steal other people's innate skills. This can only be done if the target is unable to resist or there is a huge gap between you. You can also specify one skill or ability to steal when you kill someone!
Description: With this skill, the more enemies you encounter and the longer you survive, the more methods you'll have at your disposal. You'll have an endless supply of trump cards!
???
This was insanely powerful!
Did that mean that whenever he killed an enemy, he could obtain one of their innate skills and also get upgrade points? Wasn't that killing two birds with one stone?
This was so cool! This skill was awesome!
It was the kind of skill other people could only dream of having—and one he'd always dreamed of, too. With it, He Lingxuan could already imagine fighting an enemy and suddenly stealing one of their skills or innate abilities. How desperate would they feel?
Or he could overwhelm them with one trump card after another, leave them completely dumbfounded, and defeat them while they were still dazzled.
Just thinking about it got He Lingxuan excited. He couldn't wait to find an enemy and test out just how powerful the skill was.
But then he remembered that his only way of getting around right now was running. Flight Technique was something he had to learn, unless his combat power and ki were already strong enough for him to figure it out on his own. He didn't meet those conditions yet.
Thoughts kept popping into his head as his body began to run. For some reason, after he'd been rescued by the Chat Group members and woken up, he didn't feel hungry anymore. He had no idea what had happened, but it was a good thing. At least he had the strength to look for prey.
He ran faster and faster. With 100 points of combat power, he soon reached a limit.
Bang!
The sound of air breaking the sound barrier rang across the wilderness, signaling that He Lingxuan had reached supersonic speed!
At that speed, he burst out of the crater in just a few seconds and entered the forest.
The towering trees looked more or less the same as he remembered them, but He Lingxuan no longer felt any fear. All he felt was excitement at the thought of finding prey!
A mere 100 points of combat power were already this powerful, and he hadn't even learned how to use ki yet. No wonder Kid Goku had been so absurd in the original story—just a few dozen points of combat power let him ignore most conventional weapons.
Of course, Saiyans might simply have stronger physiques than ordinary Earth martial artists. Either way, with his combat power, he'd have no trouble surviving in the wilderness. No matter how bizarre Earth's creatures were, they couldn't be that outrageous.
At most, they'd have a few dozen or a hundred points of combat power. With the 100 upgrade points in his Infinite Upgrade System, his Saiyan physique, and a full 100 points of combat power, He Lingxuan wasn't worried about going hungry or thirsty. His only real problem was figuring out how to leave this godforsaken place and reach a human settlement.
He ran and leaped through the forest like an ape, constantly searching for prey. But to He Lingxuan's surprise, he'd already covered a great distance and still hadn't encountered a single monster.
There had been giant creatures everywhere in the forest before. Even if the Chat Group member who'd rescued him had cleared some of them out, they couldn't possibly have killed them all, could they?
So where had all those creatures gone?
Puzzled, He Lingxuan picked up the pace. Of course, what he wanted most was to emerge from the forest and find a human settlement.
Then he could exchange points from the Chat Group for this world's money and have a huge meal, making up for the hunger he'd felt after barely eating for the past few days.
Even though he wasn't hungry now.
"This is weird. There's not a single sign of anything! Forget monsters—I haven't even seen one damn bug! What the hell?"
The running figure came to a stop. He carefully examined his surroundings, looking for footprints or other signs of animals passing by.
