Achievement Quest Chain

Li Shu could tell from the boss's reaction that he really couldn't afford to pay ten million in compensation.

After a long round of haggling, the boss tearfully handed over 7,594,521 yuan and 86 cents in compensation—his entire life savings, accumulated through years of swindling people.

Seeing that the man really had no money left, Li Shu finally let him go. As the boss watched in horror, Li Shu flew off with effortless grace.

"Ding! Achievement quest chain 'Punish the Evil and Promote the Good' triggered. Current progress: 1/300. Quest reward: [Great Hero] title. Achievement points +5,000!"

"[Great Hero]: Combat power increased by 30%!"

"!!!"

The sudden system announcement left Li Shu utterly shocked. This was the first time he'd seen an achievement quest like this.

The tempting reward made his mouth water. He almost wanted to give up looking for the Dragon Balls and go kill 299 more wicked people right away.

He'd never seen so many achievement points before. A full 5,000!

He'd worked himself to the bone for five years and earned only a few hundred points in total.

And there were the attributes of the [Great Hero] title. What man could resist such a temptation? He had to get it!

"No rush, no rush. The two goals don't conflict. There are plenty of wicked people in the Red Ribbon Army."

This sudden surprise had given Li Shu quite a fright. It was the most generous reward he'd ever seen.

The system rarely made such a generous offer, so he had to do it the honor of accepting. He had to complete this quest chain and wipe the most evil army in the world off the map.

Li Shu happily thought it over, then wondered what the [Holographic Dragon Radar] looked like and what it could do.

"Huh? Why isn't it in my inventory?" Li Shu searched for a while without finding it. A thought struck him: Could it be a skill?

Sure enough, when he opened the skill menu, [Holographic Dragon Radar] was right there.

[Holographic Dragon Radar]: Displays the exact locations of the Dragon Balls as a high-definition holographic image and includes a built-in navigation system.

Li Shu's mind stirred. A holographic screen appeared before his eyes, showing the locations of all five remaining Dragon Balls.

With such an impressive range, the radar far surpassed the little one Bulma had made.

"Hey?" Li Shu glanced curiously at Wukong. Could he not see this enormous holographic display?

Was it visible only to him?

That was probably for the best. It saved him the trouble of explaining.

Li Shu quickly brought up the location of the nearest Dragon Ball. The radar map zoomed in rapidly, and a clear image appeared before his eyes.

It showed a vast landscape blanketed in snow and ice. A red tower stood tall, with scattered villages around it.

"Is that Muscle Tower? It looks kind of familiar."

The image changed again, showing the Dragon Ball's exact location: inside a room at the top of Muscle Tower, where a vicious-looking middle-aged man was toying with it.

The image zoomed in once more, clearly showing the Dragon Ball in the man's hand. It was a Two-Star Ball.

The [Holographic Dragon Radar] had left Li Shu thoroughly impressed. It was incredibly powerful.

"With this, I can practically use the Dragon Balls as eyes," Li Shu thought, struck by a bold idea.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help chuckling.

"Big Brother, what are you laughing about?" Wukong asked curiously.

Li Shu quickly came back to his senses. "Nothing. I think we should buy some winter clothes. The north is extremely cold."

"Sounds good! And then we can eat another meal. I'm a little hungry," Wukong said with a grin, wholeheartedly agreeing with Li Shu's suggestion.

At Wukong's words, Li Shu realized he was a little hungry too. He agreed at once, and they set off to look for a nearby village or town.

With the two of them flying, they soon found a quiet village. After buying a pile of supplies for the winter, they sat down to enjoy a hearty meal.

Under the restaurant owner's astonished gaze, Li Shu and Wukong ate enough food for more than eighty people, spending over five hundred thousand yuan in total!

"Please come again!" the restaurant owner said respectfully as he saw off his two big-spending customers, in an excellent mood.

The two strolled leisurely along the town's streets, walking off their meal.

They hadn't gone far when a gang of thugs with menacing faces blocked their way.

"You two gluttons can really put it away, huh? You spent over five hundred thousand on one meal." The leader was a scar-faced man with yellow hair, idly twirling a dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, the townspeople hurried back into their homes and shut their doors, not daring to get involved.

The restaurant owner watched from a distance. At last, he gritted his teeth and decided to help the two big spenders. Ignoring his wife's repeated pleas, he called the police.

"You! You're driving me crazy! What good will it do to have them arrested? They'll be out again in a few days, and they'll come after us!" Tears streaked his wife's face as she looked at her husband in reproach.

The restaurant owner sighed. "They got into trouble after eating at our place. We should help them. Besides, if neither of us says anything, who'll know we called the police?"

"Ah." His wife sighed, her face full of worry.

These men were notorious thugs in the surrounding villages, lazy good-for-nothings who spent all day causing trouble. They'd been locked up countless times.

But every time they got out, they went right back to their old ways. The police had a real headache dealing with them, too.

"You called us gluttons?" Li Shu stared at Yellow Hair, his expression cold.

"I'm talking about you two. You spent five hundred thousand on one meal. What else would you call yourselves? Super-gluttons?"

Yellow Hair and his gang burst out laughing, all of them eyeing Li Shu and Wukong with ill intent.

"Your grandpa's hungry too. I want to see what it's like to spend five hundred thousand on a meal," Yellow Hair said coldly. "If you know what's good for you, leave the money here. Otherwise, you're not getting out of this town."

A smile crept across Li Shu's face. This was like being handed a pillow just as he was getting sleepy—and there were eight of them!

"Why the hell are you grinning? You're asking to die!" Yellow Hair was instantly enraged by Li Shu's smile. He brandished his dagger and lunged.

Li Shu didn't even dodge. The dagger struck him with a clang like steel, unable to pierce his skin at all. Yellow Hair was stunned. He stabbed several more times, until his hand went numb from the impact and the dagger slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground.

"Pick it up." Li Shu's gaze turned cold as he stared at Yellow Hair, his voice carrying an authority that brooked no refusal.

Yellow Hair looked at Li Shu in terror and shakily picked up the dagger.

Smack!

Li Shu slapped him. "Hold on to it properly."

Yellow Hair was terrified. He looked to his companions for help, only to find that they looked no less frightened than he was.
