Upgrading [Training Potion]

Although the death was a bit miserable, it didn't matter; he had been resurrected in the end.

Krillin felt a chill under Li Shu's gaze. It wasn't the look one gave a peer, but something indescribable, filled with a strange, burning desire.

Krillin subconsciously clenched his glutes, his brain whirring as he recalled everything Wukong had told him about Li Shu.

Seems normal enough. I hope I'm just overthinking it. Krillin sat there awkwardly, feeling like he was on pins and needles, his hands having nowhere to rest.

"Dinner's ready!" Launch's voice sounded like a heavenly melody, granting Krillin a reprieve. He stood up with a start and shouted, "I'll help!"

<strong>[Combat Power: 36]</strong>

<strong>[Combat Power: 15]</strong>

Li Shu smiled and withdrew his gaze, having taken in the combat power of Wukong and Krillin, giving him a rough gauge of his own current strength.

The sumptuous dinner on the table whetted Li Shu's appetite. Master Roshi watched the three gluttons and felt that his savings would be emptied before long; in his distraction, his chopsticks slipped to the floor.

He crawled under the table, staring at Launch's long, slender legs wrapped in her short skirt, his body trembling with lecherous excitement.

This time, it must succeed. Master Roshi silently cheered himself on, gripped his chopsticks firmly, and prepared to reach for the hem of Launch's skirt.

Suddenly, Launch stood up. It turned out that the food wasn't enough for Wukong, Krillin, and Li Shu, so she turned to head to the kitchen for more.

"These three bottomless pits!" Master Roshi, who had been so close to success, was annoyed, but he didn't lose heart and waited quietly.

Soon, Launch returned to her seat, and he grew excited again, extending his chopsticks once more.

However, another accident occurred.

Launch brought over an entire steamer basket, pressing the table down until it creaked and groaned, on the verge of collapse. Master Roshi's face changed drastically; he knew he was going to fail again and closed his eyes in despair.

Yet, after waiting for a long time, the expected crash didn't happen. He opened his eyes in confusion and discovered that the table hadn't collapsed—a pair of strong, powerful legs were propping up the sagging table.

Master Roshi recognized them instantly: they were Li Shu's legs. He was instantly moved; this kid was truly on the ball!

Taking Li Shu as his disciple was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life!

The scene before him made his eyes flash with unprecedented intensity. Then, his chopsticks struck like a dragon, and he finally got his wish.

"Strawberry pattern!" Master Roshi was ecstatic. It was one of his favorite patterns; he felt that even if he died now, he would have no regrets.

At the same time, a high-pitched female scream rang out!

"Ahhhhhhh!!" Launch jumped up abruptly, pressing her hands firmly against her skirt, and glared at the space under the table in shame and anger.

"Smack!" Master Roshi's lecherous, intoxicated face was instantly revealed. Launch's face turned beet red, she slapped him across the face, and then stormed off in a huff.

Master Roshi touched the bright red handprint on his cheek, his expression still one of intoxication—the satisfaction of a wish finally fulfilled.

Wukong and Krillin stared at the scene, dumbfounded. The innocent Wukong clearly didn't know what had happened, but Krillin understood in a second, looking at Master Roshi with a wicked grin.

Li Shu also watched the scene with a smile, feeling quite good, even wanting to shout: Is that it?

"Limited-time achievement quest 'Master Roshi's Wish' completed. Congratulations on obtaining [Kamehameha], Achievement Points +4."

Achievement Points +4?

Li Shu was pleasantly surprised. [Kamehameha] held no attraction for him, as he would learn it sooner or later anyway, but these 4 achievement points were incredibly comfortable—equivalent to all the points he had earned in the previous five years.

The key was that the quest was quite simple, requiring only a tiny bit of integrity. But since no one else noticed the bit of integrity he'd lost, it was as good as not losing it at all. This was a massive profit!

"Upgrade [Training Potion]!" Li Shu said to the system in his mind, feeling quite bold.

"[Current Achievement Points: 7]. Do you wish to consume 5 points to upgrade [Training Potion] to [Super Training Potion]?"

"[Training Potion]: Increases training results by 30%, duration one month."

"[Super Training Potion]: Increases training results by 50%, duration six months."

"Yes!"

"[Training Potion] upgrading..."

"Congratulations, you have obtained [Super Training Potion]!"

Through this upgrade experience, Li Shu deeply realized the powerful utility of [Achievement Points].

The only pity was that he couldn't know the cost of an upgrade in advance; he could only find out once he had enough points.

In the afternoon.

Li Shu drank the [Super Training Potion], strapped on the 20-pound turtle shell used for training, and began his workout alongside Wukong and Krillin.

The process of training was monotonous, painful, tedious, and not worth mentioning.

After just half a day, Li Shu discovered that his combat power had increased by 1 point, reaching 54. The effect was undeniable.

Looking at Wukong and Krillin nearby, their combat power hadn't changed, remaining at 36 and 15.

Li Shu made a rough estimate: if Wukong wanted to go toe-to-toe with Master Roshi and eventually lose by a narrow margin, his combat power would likely be between 80 and 90. After all, Master Roshi was old and a human, while Wukong was not only young but also a Saiyan. Influenced by these two factors, a gap of 10-20 points in combat power was about right.

Therefore, the 80-90 range was very reasonable and made perfect sense.

There were still over five months until the World Martial Arts Tournament. On average, Wukong's daily combat power increase was about 0.25.

Since he had increased his combat power by 1 point in just half a day, his training efficiency was truly top-notch.

As expected of a system item, the Super Training Potion truly lives up to the reputation that anything produced by the system is a masterpiece.

Although the cheat played a part, it was also his first time training in such a manner, which accounted for the significant boost; perhaps the effects would not be as pronounced moving forward.

Li Shu's guess was correct; the increase in combat power following each day of training began to diminish.

A month later, Li Shu's combat power had only reached 67.

It was also today that Master Roshi announced a bombshell of a message.

"Four months from now, I require all three of you to sign up for the World Martial Arts Tournament to test the results of your training."

Li Shu's eyes lit up instantly. He had finally waited for this moment. System-daddy, hurry up and issue your achievement mission.

"Side quest 'World Martial Arts Tournament Venue' triggered. Upon completing the check-in, you will receive the reward: one bottle of Battle Eye Special Eye Drops."

"[Battle Eye Special Eye Drops]: Use once daily. Has a small probability of upgrading [Battle Eye]."
