"Mom, you're nagging again. There are so many people on the street, and I'm the only one who's going to get into an accident?"
A handsome young man in his twenties, dressed in blue, said into his phone.
"Bainian, you have to trust your mother. You'd better be careful today. Have you forgotten what I told you about being born on the Ghost Festival? When you were born, your father happened to meet a master, who said you were destined for bad luck, so you had to be careful, careful, and extra careful. Once you turn twenty-five, you won't have to be careful anymore. Your birthday is in five days. After it's over, you'll be past twenty-five, and you won't have to worry about this anymore."
His mother spoke through the phone.
"Mom, I make my own fate. It's not up to Heaven."
Ye Bainian said.
"Bang!"
Ye Bainian saw the traffic light turn green and started crossing the street, only to be hit by a car and sent flying more than three meters.
"Damn it! Didn't you see the light was red for the cars? Fuck you!"
Ye Bainian cursed.
With his dying breath, Ye Bainian quickly formatted his phone. After all, "Though my bones may be shattered, I'll remain untainted in this world."
December 8, Age 731. Planet Vegeta, Royal Palace, Infant Incubation Room.
"As expected of King Vegeta's eldest son! Prince Leige's battle power is several thousand points higher than that of an adult Elite Saiyan."
A lizard-like man in a white lab coat said.
"These Saiyans really do grow stronger with every generation."
The companion beside the lizard-like man said.
"Dr. Kari, His Majesty sent me to ask if you've measured Prince Leige's battle power."
A burly man in his twenties walked into the Infant Incubation Room and asked.
"Nappa, tell King Vegeta that Prince Leige is a once-in-a-millennium genius among the Saiyans."
Dr. Kari said.
The Saiyan standing before Dr. Kari was Nappa, Vegeta's underling, who would eventually be killed by Vegeta on Earth.
"A once-in-a-millennium genius? Just how high is Prince Leige's battle power? A thousand, or ten thousand?"
Nappa asked.
"Prince Leige's battle power is fifteen thousand."
Dr. Kari said.
"What! Fifteen thousand? Dr. Kari, are you sure the Scouter isn't malfunctioning? Newborn Saiyans generally have battle powers ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred. Three hundred makes someone an Elite Warrior. Prince Leige's battle power is several thousand points higher than that of an adult Elite Warrior. Are you absolutely sure the Scouter isn't faulty?"
Nappa asked.
If the Scouter wasn't faulty, that could only mean the legend passed down among the Saiyans was true.
"The Scouter's working fine. It's the latest model and can measure battle power above twenty thousand."
Dr. Kari said.
"Hahaha! Good, that's wonderful news. Looks like the legend is true. I'll go tell His Majesty."
Nappa said.
Then Nappa left the Infant Incubation Room and headed for the royal palace.
"Where is this?"
Ye Bainian wondered as he listened to their conversation.
He couldn't open his eyes, and he felt as if he were floating in water, though strangely enough, it was quite comfortable.
"Host, welcome to Dragon Ball. I'm the system, Xiao Bai. It's my pleasure to serve you."
Just then, Ye Bainian heard a voice.
"You're a system? Did I reincarnate?"
Ye Bainian asked.
"That's right, Host. You've reincarnated, and this is the world of Dragon Ball."
Xiao Bai said.
"What? I actually ended up in the planet-busting world of Dragon Ball. Should I consider myself lucky or unlucky?"
Ye Bainian said.
In his previous life, he'd been a huge Dragon Ball fan. He'd loved the series ever since he started watching it at the age of four, and he'd often read Dragon Ball fanfiction in his spare time.
"Of course you're lucky, Host. Your current identity is Leige, King Vegeta's eldest son. Even Vegeta will call you 'big brother' one day."
Xiao Bai said.
"Leige? Is that the Leige from Dragon Ball New Era, the one who was born with a battle power of fifty thousand?"
Ye Bainian asked.
"That's right. I've already lowered your battle power to fifteen thousand. If you still had a battle power of fifty thousand, King Vegeta would abandon you."
Xiao Bai said.
"Thank you."
Ye Bainian said.
If his battle power were still fifty thousand, then even as King Vegeta's son, he'd make the king fear he would seize the throne and abandon him. After all, the Saiyans believed in "might makes right." If a newborn son had a higher battle power than the king, then of course they could refuse to acknowledge the king and instead accept the stronger prince as their ruler.
"No need to thank me, Host. As a welcome gift for your first reincarnation, the system has given you one thousand gold coins and twenty Senzu Beans. They're already in System Space, and the System Shop has been unlocked for you."
Xiao Bai said.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Bai."
Ye Bainian said.
"I won't disturb you any longer, Host. At your age, you need plenty of rest so you can grow up quickly."
Xiao Bai said.
Then Xiao Bai went offline, and Ye Bainian went back to sleep.
