I Want All Three Rewards!

After thinking it over, just as Lin Chen was about to make his choice, he suddenly realized there might be a loophole in the options this time.

"System, what happens if I fulfill the conditions for all three choices at once?"

Although the three choices this time were increasingly difficult, they didn't actually conflict with one another. If Lin Chen had the ability, he could fulfill the requirements for all three at once.

The system seemed to pause in surprise. After a long moment, it said, "This time, the host is allowed to select all options. However, if even one of them is not fulfilled, the host will be erased! Please choose carefully."

Choose carefully?

Of course, opportunity came hand in hand with risk.

"System, I want all three rewards!"

"Ding! Host's choice confirmed. Please complete the tasks as soon as possible. The one-year countdown begins now!"

The next moment, Lin Chen saw a countdown timer appear in his field of vision, its numbers constantly changing.

From that day on, the Saiyans on Planet Vegeta entered an era of planet-wide cultivation.

All the Saiyans, regardless of age or gender, began training like mad.

In fact, during the five years Lin Chen had been gone, the Saiyans had already started a training craze to pass the time, since they were forbidden to leave Planet Vegeta. Their overall strength was now considerably greater than it had been when they fought Frieza.

Unfortunately, there was hardly a single Saiyan on the planet who knew the right way to train.

And in the past, the Saiyans had never made a habit of training.

So their strength had increased very slowly over those five years.

After learning about the situation, Lin Chen immediately drew up a training regimen for the Saiyans and had them follow it.

At the same time, Lin Chen selected the fifty most gifted Saiyans and gave them the chance to train in the 50x Gravity Chamber, hoping they could raise their battle power by at least 100,000 within a year.

As for the task of getting more than five Saiyans above 500,000 battle power, Lin Chen knew that under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult.

After all, it had taken him five years to merge with his bloodline, and even then his battle power had only just surpassed 500,000.

Broly, with his Legendary Saiyan bloodline, had reached only 230,000 after five years.

Both he and Broly had the bloodline of a Legendary Saiyan, and that was all they had managed to gain.

As for the ordinary Saiyans, it would be impossible for them to break through their limits in a year using conventional methods.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had another way.

That day, Lin Chen gathered King Vegeta, Paragus, Bardock, Hanasia, and Broly.

These five were the ones Lin Chen planned to use to complete the task of reaching 500,000 battle power.

Once they had all arrived, Lin Chen handed them five Tree of Might fruits.

"Eat these."

"T-These are... Tree of Might fruits?"

The moment they saw the enormous red fruits in their hands, King Vegeta and the others recognized them.

Weren't these the same Tree of Might fruits that Turles had used to tempt the Saiyans into joining him during the earlier Turles incident?

"Your Majesty, how do you have these? Weren't all the Tree of Might fruits destroyed?" Paragus asked, puzzled.

"You don't need to ask. Eat them quickly. Your strength will increase considerably."

"Yes!"

At Lin Chen's command, the four of them, with the exception of Broly, stopped hesitating and began to wolf down the Tree of Might fruits.

In no time, all four had eaten their fruit.

The next moment, they felt a tremendous change within them. A vast, searing energy instantly filled their bodies.

The energy made them feel as though their bodies were expanding, and their minds became remarkably clear.

Almost instinctively, all four of them released their auras.

"Power! I feel so powerful!" King Vegeta exclaimed, gazing excitedly at his fists as he felt the surging strength within him.

"This power is incredible!" Bardock said, his face alight with joy as he clenched his fist.

"So the Tree of Might fruits really are this miraculous?" Hanasia and Paragus were just as excited.

As the four celebrated, Lin Chen checked their battle power with the system.

Bardock's strength had increased the most, reaching a staggering 400,000 battle power in one go.

King Vegeta's was nearly as high.

Paragus and Hanasia were a little weaker, but their battle power was still over 300,000.

Just as expected of food eaten by the gods—it was truly miraculous.

Then Lin Chen looked over at Broly, who was holding a Tree of Might fruit but hadn't moved.

"Broly, why aren't you eating?"

Broly hesitated before saying, "Big brother Lynx, this thing is so precious. Why aren't you eating it?"

"I've already tried one. To be honest, the weaker you are, the more it boosts your battle power. Once you reach a certain level, its effect isn't as noticeable."

The Tree of Might fruits Lin Chen had given them were the rewards he had received after completing a task.

After killing Turles, Lin Chen had already tried one. The result had been a little disappointing.

Until then, Lin Chen had assumed that Tree of Might fruits directly increased battle power.

But after eating one himself, he realized that the most important effect of the fruit wasn't actually its boost to battle power. It was the way it strengthened the mind.

The increase in battle power was really a side effect of the fruit nourishing and strengthening the body.

But Lin Chen's body had already been strengthened by his Legendary Saiyan bloodline, so the fruit barely increased his battle power.

After eating one, Lin Chen's battle power had risen by only about 100,000. His current base battle power was 650,000.

Before this, Lin Chen had regretted overdoing it that day and tearing apart Turles's spaceship, leaving no Tree of Might seeds behind.

But now that he knew what the fruits did, he no longer regretted it.

"Broly, this fruit won't do much for you either, but eating it will help you control your emotions. Go ahead and eat it."

Hearing this, Broly stopped hesitating and obediently ate it.

Just as expected, after eating the Tree of Might fruit, Broly's aura didn't grow much. His increase in battle power was even smaller than Lin Chen's—only 70,000—raising it from 230,000 to 300,000.

Although none of the five had yet reached the required 500,000 battle power, they still had a whole year. After the boost from the Tree of Might fruits, they should have no trouble reaching 500,000.

"King Vegeta, and the rest of you, now that you've eaten the Tree of Might fruits, you'd better train hard. If anyone hasn't surpassed 500,000 battle power within a year, don't blame me for being tough on you!"

"Yes!"

King Vegeta and the others nodded immediately, then took their leave.

Broly seemed to want to say something, but his father, Paragus, pulled him away.

Hanasia was the only one left. Her face flushed red as she rushed to Lin Chen's side and wrapped her arms around his. "Your Majesty, I feel so much stronger now. I want to fight you for three hundred rounds and test my limits..."

"Hmm... Bardock? Why are you still here?"

Lin Chen was just about to agree when he noticed there was still a third wheel present.

Bardock clasped his hands behind his head and gave an awkward grin. "Your Majesty Lynx, there's something else I'd like to report."
