Prematurely Merged System

King Kai's Planet...

"Goku, you need to pick up the pace. You've already wasted over two hundred days on Snake Way, and you only have one hundred and fifty-eight left. You've only just managed to catch Bubbles, and you still haven't tagged Gregory," King Kai remarked.

A young man in an orange gi was seen holding a wooden mallet, frantically chasing a locust-like creature—that was Gregory.

Son Goku replied, "King Kai, I understand. I'll catch him soon."

"Although I have confidence in the techniques I've created, I can't guarantee you'll be able to defeat those two Saiyans. After all, they are both far too strong," King Kai said.

Watching this dim-witted muscle-head, King Kai thought to himself, Perhaps you really can do it. In such a short time, you've already managed to catch Bubbles on King Kai's Planet, where the gravity is ten times that of Earth...

If Vegeta knew what King Kai was thinking, he would surely respond with haughty pride that this Prince was born on Planet Vegeta, where the gravity was ten times stronger! Ha...

Thump. A light tapping sound echoed as Son Goku finally struck Gregory on the head.

"King Kai, I got him! Ha, ha!" Son Goku cheered.

"A genius! Good, good, good! Now, I will teach you my self-created ultimate technique: the Kaio-ken," King Kai declared.

"Kaio-ken? What kind of martial art is that?" Goku asked, puzzled.

King Kai turned his back to Goku, cleared his throat with a "Cough, cough," and postured, "The Kaio-ken, as the name implies, is a technique I created myself. It can multiply your combat power. A one-fold Kaio-ken increases your base combat power by one, and so on. You can multiply your strength by whatever level you can handle. Although I created it, even I cannot push its power to the absolute limit. This technique boosts your combat power and drastically increases your speed, but it is extremely taxing on the body. Without a sturdy physique, you cannot sustain it. Whether you can master it or not depends entirely on you," King Kai explained slowly.

"King Kai, teach me quickly! I want to learn!" Goku's eyes lit up!

Four months later.

In the depths of space, two streaks of light flashed and vanished.

Inside a spherical spaceship, Vegeta, who had been in deep slumber, was awakened by a cold, mechanical voice in his mind.

"Ding. System integration successful. The system is now active."

Upon hearing this, Vegeta exclaimed with excitement, "System, you're awake! Tell me, what do you do? Didn't you say it would take five months? How did you finish integrating in just four months..."

"This system prefers to keep a low profile. If the host is dissatisfied, this system wouldn't mind sleeping... and integrating for another month," the system replied with a hint of arrogance.

Vegeta twitched internally, You damn machine, you slept for four months! Once I become powerful, I'm definitely uninstalling you. Is it even human to have such "bite the hand that feeds you" thoughts?

"Host, your thoughts are no different from speaking them aloud; this system can perceive them all!" the cold yet haughty voice retorted.

"Master System, I was wrong, I was wrong. I hope you, as a great being, won't hold a grudge against a small person like me," Vegeta said with a bitter smile.

"This system is the Strongest Choice System. It will issue tasks at irregular intervals for the host to choose from."

"Ding. A Newbie Gift Pack has been granted. As the host of this system, how can you settle for second best? A gift pack is hereby delivered. From now on, rewards will only be granted upon the completion of system-issued tasks," the system stated.

"Open the Newbie Gift Pack," Vegeta said excitedly. He wondered what kind of good things were inside.

"Ding. Newbie Gift Pack: Combat power increased by 10,000. Reward: One S-Cell Booster. Note: S-Cells are a vital, indispensable component for transforming into a Super Saiyan. Only when S-Cells reach 100% is the condition for transformation met. While anger also increases S-Cells, it is far less effective than the booster." One booster can increase S-Cells by 20%! Friendly reminder: Base combat power is crucial. Without a base of 3,000,000, even if you can transform, there will be only one outcome: your body will explode, unable to withstand the power!" the system explained.

"System, integrate the combat power and use the S-Cell booster!" Vegeta was beyond excited. Kakarot, just you wait. I won't kill you; I want you to be second best forever. Ha ha!

A surge of intense power made Vegeta's body tremble uncontrollably. His combat power skyrocketed! Such a formidable, yet terrifying power began to fill every fiber of Vegeta's body!
