Receiving the system's reply, Li Shu felt both happy and miserable.

Having been in the Dragon Ball world for over five years, he had only accumulated a total of 4 Achievement Points. It was one thing not knowing their use at the start, but now that he had just learned of their immense power, having one point deducted felt truly heartbreaking.

If I had known, I would have just figured it out myself. With my intelligence, it surely wouldn't have taken more than a few days.

Li Shu didn't wallow in his sorrow; he was broad-minded. Since he couldn't die, he had plenty of time to earn more achievements.

"First, upgrade the Dimensional Storage Space. One cubic meter is just too small; it can't even fit a single dinosaur leg."

With a thought, Li Shu quickly received a system prompt.

"Do you wish to spend 1 Achievement Point to increase the Dimensional Storage Space by 1 cubic meter?"

One Achievement Point only increases it by one cubic meter?

Faced with this result, Li Shu felt a bit distressed. It was simply too expensive, so he decisively chose "No."

"Upgrade the Beginner Senzu Bean Can."

"Insufficient Achievement Points. Upgrade failed."

"Upgrade the Battle Eye!"

"Insufficient Achievement Points. Upgrade failed."

"Upgrade the Undying Body!"

"Insufficient Achievement Points. Upgrade failed."

"Upgrade the Saiyan Bloodline!"

"Insufficient Achievement Points. Upgrade failed."

"Upgrade the Double Money Buff!"

"Insufficient Achievement Points. Upgrade failed."

Li Shu felt terrible. Faced with so many failures, he wished he could just uninstall the system.

System: "System uninstalling..."

"Holy crap! Don't! System-daddy, no! I was wrong! Don't do it!!! Cancel uninstall, cancel uninstall!!!"

Li Shu panicked instantly, screaming frantically in his mind.

System: "Terminating uninstall..."

System: "Termination successful!"

Li Shu let out a long breath. In those few short seconds, he had broken out in a cold sweat and was trembling with lingering fear. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Just then, Nobi Bear finished preparing the dinosaur leg.

"Please, enjoy."

Li Shu hurriedly picked up a piece to eat and calm his nerves. Under the impact of the delicious food, his unpleasant feelings vanished into thin air.

Nobi Bear was also very satisfied with the quality of the dinosaur meat, and the two parties finally agreed on a purchase price.

10,000 yen per catty, with a requirement of 200 catties per month.

Although the demand wasn't high, Li Shu was already very satisfied with an income of 2 million yen per month. To him, this was no different from picking up money.

Nobi Bear was very generous and paid for the first month in advance. Li Shu didn't let him down, delivering far more than the required amount of dinosaur meat the very next day.

After leaving Nobi Bear's yakitori shop, Li Shu bought a large stack of racy books, magazines, and videotapes—all gifts for Master Roshi.

"Side quest check-in triggered: Travel to Master Roshi's residence and complete the check-in to receive the reward: [Training Potion]."

"[Training Potion]: Increases training effectiveness by 30% for one month."

A quest really did trigger. It seems my guess was correct. This time, Li Shu wasn't surprised.

After spending this much time here, he had basically figured out how the system's quests were triggered.

As long as it involved characters or locations related to the plot, there was a high probability of triggering a quest.

Li Shu took out the map he had just bought, studied it carefully, and found the direction of the island where Master Roshi lived. He arrived at an uninhabited spot and took to the sky.

On the beach of Kame House, Master Roshi was lying on a lounge chair, reading a magazine featuring women in skimpy outfits.

On the distant sea, a small boat drifted. Li Shu stood at the bow, quietly watching Master Roshi on the island, but he didn't see Wukong anywhere.

Could Wukong have gone looking for me, and therefore didn't come to Master Roshi's to train? Li Shu felt this was highly likely, though it was also possible Master Roshi had sent Wukong out to train by delivering milk.

Having seen the plot, Li Shu was very clear about Master Roshi's training methods.

He must be out. Krillin isn't on the island either.

Based on the timeline, Krillin should have arrived on the island by now to train with Wukong under Master Roshi.

But because of his own appearance, the development of the plot might have changed, causing Wukong not to appear here, but instead to spend his time searching the world for him.

As he pondered, the boat drew very close to the island. Li Shu could now clearly see Master Roshi's combat power.

[Combat Power: 100]

"Only 100?" Li Shu was somewhat surprised. This was different from what he had imagined; his own combat power was already 53, and Master Roshi had lived for over 300 years and even trained at Korin Tower for three years.

How could it be so low? It seemed he had given up, spending his days indulging in lust and neglecting his training.

Li Shu stepped onto the island, but Master Roshi remained immersed in his busty magazines, failing to notice his arrival.

"Side quest 'Master Roshi's Residence' check-in completed. Reward obtained: [Training Potion]."

Master Roshi might be losing his edge now, but in the original story, Wukong had indeed received great improvements in strength under his guidance.

One had to admit that Master Roshi was quite skilled when it came to teaching disciples.

If the [Training Potion] were used on Master Roshi's training, it should yield decent results, boosting his combat power by at least a few dozen points.

Li Shu walked up to Master Roshi, interrupting his leisure: "Master Mutaito, these magazines are outdated. Take a look at mine."

Master Roshi was initially annoyed, but when he saw the stack of brand-new, racy magazines in Li Shu's hands, his face immediately lit up with joy. He snatched them away and began to study them intently.

"╰(°▽°)╯Oh~~~ Whoa~~~~ Hehehe~~~~ Not bad~~ Not bad~~~"

As he looked through them, Master Roshi suddenly sensed something amiss. He looked at Li Shu in confusion: "By the way, who are you?"

"Master Mutaito, Son Gohan is my grandfather, and my name is Li Shu." Li Shu once again felt that the title 'Son Gohan is my grandfather' was truly incredibly useful.

Master Roshi put down the magazines and curiously sized Li Shu up, asking: "You are Wukong's brother?"

Li Shu was delighted to hear this and quickly replied: "Master Mutaito, have you seen Wukong?"

"Haha, that kid Wukong is training with me, but he went out to deliver milk early this morning and won't be back until noon." After saying this, Master Roshi went back to his racy magazines.

Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the plot hadn't changed.

After all, Wukong was the protagonist of the Dragon Ball world. If he were to alter the plot and cause Wukong's life trajectory to shift—resulting in him being unable to defeat future powerful enemies or preventing key events from occurring—then his three major plans of lying flat, farming achievements, and grinding check-ins would all go down the drain.

Just the thought of Wukong being unable to defeat Demon King Piccolo, the Androids, Vegeta, Frieza, Yeru, or Majin Buu, forcing him to step up and save all of humanity—in a world full of damn Japs, no less—made him feel exhausted just thinking about it.
