"Mom, are you done nagging? There are so many people on the street, do you really think I'm the only one who's going to have an accident?"
A handsome young man in his twenties, dressed in blue, said while holding his phone.
"Bainian, you have to trust your mother. You'd better be careful today. Have you forgotten what I told you? You were born on the Ghost Festival. When you were born, your father happened to run into a master who said your fate was ill-omened, so you must be careful, careful, and more careful. As long as you make it past twenty-five, you won't have to worry anymore. There are only five days left until your birthday; once you pass that, you'll be over twenty-five and won't have to live like this."
His mother said from inside the phone.
"Mom, my fate is in my own hands, not the heavens."
Ye Bainian said.
"Bang!"
Ye Bainian saw the traffic light turn green and stepped into the crosswalk, only to be struck by a car and sent flying over three meters away.
"Damn it! Didn't you see the red light for cars? Screw you!"
Ye Bainian cursed.
Before he breathed his last, he quickly formatted his phone. After all, "I fear not being crushed to powder, so long as I leave my innocence in the world."
December 8, Age 731, Planet Vegeta, Royal Palace, Infant Incubation Room.
"As expected of King Vegeta's eldest son, Prince Leige's combat power is already several thousand higher than that of an adult elite Saiyan."
A lizard-man in a white lab coat said.
"These Saiyans are truly becoming more powerful with each generation."
The companion standing beside the lizard-man remarked.
"Dr. Kari, the King sent me to ask if Prince Leige's combat power has been measured yet?"
A burly man in his twenties walked into the Infant Incubation Room and asked.
"Nappa, please tell King Vegeta that Prince Leige is a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Saiyan race."
Dr. Kari said.
Standing before Dr. Kari was the Saiyan Nappa, Vegeta's subordinate, who would eventually be killed by Vegeta on Earth.
"A once-in-a-millennium genius? What exactly is Prince Leige's combat power? One thousand or ten thousand?"
Nappa asked.
"Prince Leige's combat power is fifteen thousand."
Dr. Kari said.
"What! Fifteen thousand? Dr. Kari, are you sure the scouter isn't malfunctioning? A newborn Saiyan's combat power is generally between a few dozen and a few hundred; three hundred is already considered an elite warrior. Prince Leige's combat power is actually several thousand higher than an adult elite warrior's. Are you really sure the scouter isn't broken?"
Nappa asked.
If the scouter wasn't malfunctioning, it could only mean that the legend circulating among their Saiyan people was true.
"The scouter is not malfunctioning. This is the latest model, capable of detecting combat power over twenty thousand."
Dr. Kari said.
"Hahaha, good, this is truly great news. It seems the legend is real. I'm going to tell the King."
Nappa said.
Nappa then left the Infant Incubation Room and headed toward the royal palace.
"Where is this?"
Ye Bainian thought to himself as he listened to their conversation.
He couldn't open his eyes, and he felt as if he were submerged in liquid, yet strangely, it felt quite comfortable.
"Host, welcome to Dragon Ball. I am the system, Xiao Bai, and I am very happy to serve you."
At that moment, Ye Bainian heard a voice.
"You're a system? Did I transmigrate?"
Ye Bainian asked.
"Yes, Host, you have transmigrated. This is the world of Dragon Ball."
Xiao Bai said.
"What? It's actually the planet-busting world of Dragon Ball? Should I call myself lucky or unlucky?"
Ye Bainian said.
In his past life, he was a Dragon Ball fan. Ever since he started watching it at age four, he had loved the series, and he would often read Dragon Ball fanfiction in his spare time.
"The Host is certainly lucky. Your current identity is King Vegeta's eldest son: Leige. Even Vegeta will have to call you 'big brother' in the future."
Xiao Bai said.
"Leige? Is he the Leige from Dragon Ball New Era who had a combat power of fifty thousand at birth?"
Ye Bainian asked.
"Yes, and I have already adjusted your combat power to fifteen thousand. If you still had fifty thousand, you would have been abandoned by King Vegeta."
Xiao Bai said.
"Thank you."
Ye Bainian said.
If he still only had a combat power of fifty thousand, even if he were King Vegeta's son, King Vegeta would worry about him usurping the throne and cast him aside. After all, the Saiyan race upheld the principle that "the strong are kings." If a king's combat power wasn't even as high as his newborn son's, they could certainly refuse to acknowledge him as king and instead crown the stronger prince.
"You're welcome. For the host's first traversal, the system has gifted you one thousand gold coins and twenty Senzu Beans, which have already been stored in the System Space. Furthermore, the system has opened the System Shop for the host."
Xiao Bai said.
"Thank you very much, Xiao Bai."
Ye Bainian said.
"Xiao Bai will not disturb the host any further. At your current age, you should rest more so that you can grow up quickly."
Xiao Bai said.
Afterward, Xiao Bai went offline, and Ye Bainian continued to rest.
