Gradually Mastering the Laws of Achievement

Li Shu's sudden action startled both the boss and Goku.

The not-so-bright Goku even cried out at the shattered Dragon Ball on the ground, "Grandpa!"

"Goku, stop with the grandpa talk. There can only be one Four-Star Ball. His is fake, he's trying to trick us," Li Shu said, his gaze sharp as he stared at the boss, without turning his head.

At the same time, he tossed the real Four-Star Ball to Goku, saying, "The real Dragon Balls emit light when they sense other Dragon Balls. This means there must be other Dragon Balls here."

He said this for Goku's benefit, but also for the boss's.

Goku recalled his last time collecting Dragon Balls, and indeed, they would react when near others.

At this point, Goku finally realized they had been deceived!

Goku glared at the boss with a furious expression, huffing, "You're despicable! My prize money for being the runner-up in the martial arts tournament was only five hundred thousand, and you tricked it all away!"

That's right, Li Shu had used Goku's money for the five hundred thousand.

The boss stared at the sparkling Four-Star Ball in Li Shu's hand, completely dumbfounded. If he had known, he should have given them a different Dragon Ball.

"Wait a minute!" The boss had a sudden idea and also put on a furious face, shouting, "I'm a victim too! I'm going to find that damn vagrant right now!"

Saying that, the boss pulled out a pistol and angrily stormed towards the exit.

Hearing the boss's explanation, Goku's anger immediately subsided. He looked at the boss in astonishment, "Is that so? Then hurry and take us to find that vagrant."

Li Shu sighed, covering his forehead in speechless exasperation, truly moved to tears by Goku's naivety.

Just as Li Shu was about to stop the boss and teach him a lesson, the door was opened from the outside.

A group of fully armed soldiers rushed in, guns pointed at them. Leading them was a red-haired man with an arrogant expression.

The boss was startled by the display, his legs immediately went weak, and he stumbled backward.

Compared to the fully armed soldiers before them, the two figures, one big and one small, looked much more adorable.

"Oh? There are three of them?" Colonel Silver twisted his neck, his gaze sweeping over the three of them as he asked, "Who has the Dragon Ball?"

[Power Level: 20]

Li Shu glanced at the red-haired man. The 20 power level made him feel incredibly at ease. This was a weakling who couldn't even beat Yamcha.

As for the soldiers, they were all weaklings, not worth worrying about.

"He has it!" The boss immediately betrayed Li Shu, quickly distancing himself, afraid of being implicated.

Li Shu sneered, pursing his lips, "He has one too."

"I don't! Don't spout nonsense! It's not me!" The boss shook his head frantically. He couldn't care about anything else in this situation; nothing was more important than his own life. He quickly added, "My Dragon Balls are all fake. I'll show you if you don't believe me."

Saying that, the boss hastily climbed onto the shelf, carried down a wooden box, and opened it in front of everyone.

Goku's eyes widened, stunned by the sight. The box was filled with Dragon Balls, from one-star to seven-star, and multiple sets at that.

Li Shu only needed a glance to know that all the Dragon Balls in the box were indeed fake; none of them had the Dragon Ball sense.

Colonel Silver couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, then ordered, "You, go and check."

"Yes, Colonel!"

A soldier stepped out of the formation and immediately began checking them one by one.

"Report, Colonel, they're all ordinary glass balls!"

Colonel Silver's expression turned cold, and he said, "Detain this man first. He must have the real Dragon Balls here."

The boss panicked, trying to explain, but no one listened. This only angered the soldiers, and one of them knocked him out with the butt of his rifle: "So noisy!"

After dealing with the boss, Colonel Silver turned his attention to Li Shu. As for Son Goku, he didn't even bother to look at him; just a little kid.

"You guys must have just participated in the World Martial Arts Tournament, right?" Colonel Silver suddenly asked, not rushing to inquire about the Dragon Balls' whereabouts.

Li Shu looked at the red-haired man in confusion, not answering his question, but instead asking, "Who are you?"

"Heh." Colonel Silver let out a cold laugh and said proudly, "Allow me to formally introduce myself. Commander of the Red Ribbon Army's Silver Squad, Colonel Silver!"

Li Shu chuckled, "So you're just a petty punk."

"What did you say?" Colonel Silver immediately became enraged. They were known as 'the most evil army in the world,' and he was the commander of the Silver Squad, yet he was being mocked like this!

"Are you hard of hearing? I know a famous ear doctor. Do you want me to introduce you? You can go get your ears treated first. It won't be too late to be a petty punk after your ears are healed."

Li Shu said dismissively, already trying to gain some achievements from the other party.

One of the achievement rules: the greater the emotional fluctuation, the higher the probability of obtaining an achievement. This was Li Shu's summary and experience over the past period.

Colonel Silver was furious. Ever since he became the commander of the Silver Squad, no one except his superiors had dared to speak to him like this.

He swore he would tear this guy in front of him to shreds!

"What was your ranking in the martial arts tournament?" Colonel Silver asked, suppressing his rage, his voice chilling.

"Champion," Li Shu said with a smile, showing no regard for the other party.

"No wonder you're so arrogant!" Colonel Silver said, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Just martial artists who haven't killed anyone. In the army, I can fight ten men at once. Now, I'll show you what a true powerhouse is!"

With that, Colonel Silver threw off his military coat and threw a punch at Li Shu.

"Ding! Triggered limited-time achievement quest 'There are always people better than you.' Please defeat Colonel Silver's conviction within 30 seconds. Quest reward: [Holographic Dragon Radar]."

Li Shu's eyes lit up; his hypothesis had been verified once again. Emotion was indeed the key to triggering achievements.

Defeat their conviction within 30 seconds?

The mission requirements made Li Shu feel the difficulty. Defeating an opponent was easy, but how was he supposed to shatter their conviction?

Time was tight, and Li Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, searching for a countermeasure. As for Colonel Silver's attacks, he had no time to pay them any mind.

"Arrogant!" Li Shu's dismissive attitude infuriated Colonel Silver. To ignore his attacks like this was the ultimate provocation!

"I'm going to smash your head in with one punch!" Colonel Silver roared, landing a strike squarely on Li Shu's face.

Li Shu immediately sucked in a sharp breath. "Hiss... that actually stings."

Colonel Silver and his soldiers were left dumbstruck, staring at the man before them in disbelief.

That was a punch with enough force to shatter a sandbag! Yet, the man in front of them hadn't even budged!

What kind of monster was this?
