Wukong's Martial Dao Will

It turned out that not all requests triggered achievement missions. Li Shu, who had thought he had figured out the system's habits, felt a slight sense of regret.

Feeling the 9 achievement points he had just acquired, Li Shu pondered for a moment before deciding to use them to upgrade the Never-ending Dinosaur Leg.

"It's a pity the Super Blessing Potion is gone. Let's test the effect of the Blessing Potion."

[Blessing Potion]: Luck slightly increased for one minute.

"I wonder if the effects stack?" Li Shu looked at the nine Blessing Potions in his Dimensional Storage Space, a bold idea forming in his mind.

Regardless, he decided to give it a try; he only had enough achievement points for one upgrade anyway.

Li Shu was decisive and took action immediately, downing three Blessing Potions in one go.

"Upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg-LV3]!"

"Upgrading..."

Just as Li Shu had guessed, this upgrade required 8 achievement points. By that logic, the next upgrade would likely cost 16.

"Upgrade successful. Congratulations on obtaining [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg-LV4]!"

"[Never-ending Dinosaur Leg-LV4]: A renewable edible weapon. Can be equipped to the leg. Can emit an enticing meaty aroma. Increases combat power by 5% when equipped!"

Success! Li Shu jumped for joy.

Although he couldn't determine if the effects of the Blessing Potions had actually stacked, it undoubtedly boosted his confidence in his success, making it well worth it.

As the saying goes, believe and it exists, doubt and it doesn't. He planned to ask the system if they stacked once he was wealthier in the future.

[Combat Power: 78.75]

Looking at the slight increase in combat power, Li Shu was quite satisfied; it was already very good at this stage.

Furthermore, after the Dinosaur Leg reached LV4, it gained a new trait: Emits an enticing meaty aroma.

This was undoubtedly an excellent equipment skill, especially when facing a glutton like Wukong. Li Shu already had a mental image of it and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

After the upgrades, Li Shu felt significantly more confident about the mission to defeat Wukong head-on.

Li Shu returned to the contestant lounge to continue watching Wukong's match.

Just as he arrived, he saw Nam attacking Wukong, using a palm technique that descended from the sky: Sky Cross Slash!

Wukong... huh?

[Combat Power: 83]

"No way." Li Shu froze. Wukong's combat power had actually increased during the fight! This undoubtedly made his mission even harder.

This result made Li Shu quite indignant, deeply understanding what it meant when people are compared to others, it only leads to frustration.

He had worked so hard to grind achievements, gambled on probabilities with his heart in his throat, and nearly had a heart attack, only to gain 3.75 in combat power.

Wukong, on the other hand, just got beaten up and his combat power skyrocketed by 3 points.

"As expected, the fear of pain is the biggest obstacle for the Saiyan Bloodline!" Although he felt a bit unbalanced, Li Shu understood. In truth, if he were just a bit more ruthless and took more hits, he wouldn't be much worse off than Wukong.

Watching Wukong's pained expression, Li Shu gasped; he felt a bit better immediately, as it really looked painful.

He was truly terrified of pain, and unless absolutely necessary, Li Shu would never choose to get beaten up.

Seeing this, Li Shu greatly admired Wukong. Nam's combat power was only 45. Wukong could clearly have taken Nam out in an instant, but he controlled his strength to match Nam's level to temper himself.

He was squeezing out Nam's potential time and time again, forcing Nam to use even more powerful moves.

Li Shu admitted he couldn't compare to this level of martial arts spirit, nor could he do it himself.

If it were him, he would have finished Nam off immediately. Want to hit me? Keep dreaming.

As Nam exhausted his moves and Wukong no longer felt any pressure, he defeated his opponent in one go and successfully advanced to the finals!

Seeing Nam's dejected expression, Li Shu knew his chance had come and intercepted Nam behind the scenes as he prepared to head home.

"Mr. Nam, I am willing to help your hometown solve its water shortage problem." Under Nam's puzzled gaze, Li Shu spoke directly.

He knew Nam came from a poor and backward tribe where water resources were extremely scarce, people died of thirst every day, and life was very difficult.

Nam's wish was to win the tournament prize money to improve his hometown's water situation.

Nam, who had been feeling down, suddenly became excited: "Really? But why would you do this? Is there anything I need to do for you?"

Everyone has a sense of compassion. Looking at the simple and excited Nam, Li Shu couldn't remain indifferent. Even if he hadn't triggered an achievement mission or received a reward, he would still be willing to help Nam.

What was an insurmountable difficulty for Nam was merely a small favor for Li Shu; why not do it?

"The tournament champion's prize is only 1 million, but I'll give you 10 million!" Li Shu took out a capsule and said, "The money is inside. You can use it to buy more capsules, fill them with enough water for an emergency, and then use the rest to solve your hometown's water resource problem."

Nam took the capsule in shock and asked cautiously, "Can you tell me a place where I can buy water?"

"Buy water? Buy what water?" Li Shu was speechless. "See that well over there? Just draw from it, it's free."

"What?!" Upon hearing this news, Nam's jaw dropped.

"Mr. Nam, water resources in West City are very abundant, so water is free. You don't need to spend money to buy it."

Just then, Master Roshi walked over, having appeared out of nowhere, and handed Nam another capsule: "I have one here too. Take more water back with you."

Looking at the two benefactors before him, Nam was moved to tears, offering endless thanks.

Li Shu was not surprised by the appearance of Master Roshi; in the original story, it was Master Roshi who had helped Nam.

"Is there anything I can do for you both?" Nam felt he had no way to repay them and insisted on helping with something.

Li Shu and Master Roshi were both at a loss, and it took a great deal of persuasion before they finally managed to send Nam on his way.

"Congratulations, you have unlocked the achievement 'Nam's Wish'. Reward: one 500ml bottle of [Ultra Divine Water], Achievement Points +2!"

"[Ultra Divine Water]: Uses the power of deadly poison to stimulate human potential. Recommended for those with a pure heart. Survive it and soar to new heights; fail to survive it and have your tombstone erected on the spot."

Ultra Divine Water?

The moment he heard this reward, Li Shu was stunned. He wouldn't drink this stuff even if it killed him.

In the original story, Son Goku, a person as pure as they come, was poisoned to the point of near-death, and it even left him with the root of a viral heart disease.

And what about himself? With 5000TB of "study materials" that he couldn't scrub from his brain, having lived in the internet age of his past life and been baptized by big data, was he still pure?

In the era of his past life, a pure person would probably have already met the criteria to apply for protection as an endangered species, right?
