This is a One-Way Trip to Becoming the Ultimate Villain

He was even offering him advice.

Ashu felt incredibly happy and touched.

He was on the verge of tears.

Gratitude aside, Ashu decided that once he went down, he would contact Xiao Wu; he had to recruit a few powerful warriors first, or at least ones stronger than himself.

After expressing his thanks, Ashu scurried away.

Watching Ashu's short legs moving at high frequency, Li Xing smiled with amusement.

That guy was practically wishing for Xiao Wu to hand him twenty strong men right now.

Once Ashu retreated, Li Xing turned his attention to his fourth system mission.

This one was another opportunity-based mission.

The first had been a binding mission, the second a dangerous escape mission, and the third was the previous opportunity to subdue Pilaf and his crew.

This opportunity was truly massive.

It could be said that from this moment on, Li Xing's strength would soar.

Unlike Sun Wukong and the others, who could only improve their strength through combat, Li Xing utilized scientific methods, which allowed him to improve his strength both rapidly and efficiently, all while being relatively relaxed.

"Option 1: Help Sun Wukong summon Shenron and resurrect his grandfather. Reward: Physique +0.1.

Option 2: Kill the Sun Wukong five-man group, seize the Dragon Balls, and wipe out the Hoi-Poi Capsule Corporation. Reward: Mental Power +0.01.

Option 3: Seize the Dragon Balls and prevent Bulma from summoning Shenron. Reward: Energy +5."

Li Xing stared at the data provided by the system, his face darkening.

"System, you just copy-pasted this, didn't you? Three missions, and the rewards for all three are exactly the same."

Li Xing gritted his teeth in anger.

This shameless system.

It was forcing him to evolve into a major villain.

"Just tell me, do you want it or not!"

Damn it...

Li Xing had no choice. "I choose Option 3."

Li Xing wasn't stupid.

If he killed Sun Wukong, he had no idea how subsequent events might change.

What if more enemies showed up and he couldn't handle them?

Raising a few Saiyans and then using his Devour Ability to spar with them frequently was, for Li Xing, a move with only benefits and no drawbacks.

His own strength wouldn't fall behind either.

His physique would gradually strengthen, his mental power would certainly increase later on, and his energy would steadily rise as well.

Combined with scientific testing and training, if he had the chance to forge some battle armor later, Li Xing's strength would be absolutely top-tier.

He could play the villain and have no problem being an enemy to the Saiyans and the Dragon Ball Z Warriors.

But killing them? That was absolutely out of the question.

Li Xing sat in the seat that originally belonged to Pilaf.

He stroked his chin.

"In that case, I could actually take in Piccolo, Raditz, and Vegeta."

As this thought surfaced, Li Xing immediately shook his head and dismissed it.

Those people weren't necessary, but there was someone else.

A glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

Since he had decided to be a major villain, it would be a waste not to make use of the other super-intelligent figure on Earth.

The only pity was that the guy was more mature and not easy to trick.

"Data Panel!"

Host: Li Xing

Lifespan: 26

Combat Power: 32

Physique: 1.45

Mental Power: 1

Energy: 22

Ability: Devour Ability (LV1)

"With these stats, I still don't seem to measure up against Sun Wukong."

Li Xing muttered to himself.

Judging by the strange antics the system had pulled in the past, whenever it provided a mission, the key characters would basically appear in the vicinity.

In other words, Sun Wukong and his group were already approaching Pilaf Castle.

The reason, of course!

Was naturally because they held the last remaining Dragon Ball.

"What a nuisance. Ashu's strength is still too weak. If he were stronger, I could devour more things, convert more physiques, and keep the Devour Ability active for longer."

Li Xing's eyes flickered as he considered how to deal with Sun Wukong and snatch the Dragon Ball from his hands.

He hadn't cared about it originally.

The Earth's Dragon Balls sounded impressive, but in reality, they were quite lackluster.

The resurrection function wasn't that important to him.

As for the rest, he didn't need them.

The Dragon Balls of the Earth world could not grant the user immortality.

The functions of the Dragon Balls could not exceed the creator's capabilities.

That statement wasn't entirely accurate.

It should be said that they could not exceed the creator's knowledge, or at least their reasonable range of knowledge.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be situations later on where Piccolo didn't recognize Beerus, the residents of Kami's Lookout didn't recognize Beerus, yet the summoned Shenron could recognize Beerus.

Currently, the Earth's Dragon Balls had only one use for Li Xing.

To help Li Xing realize the wish of mastering Instant Transmission.

But Li Xing didn't need it at all.

Without ten or more years passing, and without entering interstellar space.

At this current point in time, this Instant Transmission would only be used for show.

Plus, given Li Xing's current strength.

The energy within his body couldn't even support him in performing long-distance Instant Transmission.

"Whatever, I'll snatch it first. Since I've already taken it, it's impossible not to summon Shenron and request my wish. A villain must have the resolve of a villain; as long as I can oppose the protagonist, I must never give up any advantageous opportunity."

Li Xing stood up and walked toward the training room.

He still needed to contact Pilaf in a moment.

He would have the three of them pilot their mechs to charge in first.

As for the excuse, it would naturally be to test their strength and, incidentally, have Pilaf check if there were any issues with the mechs to facilitate future improvements.

Thinking this way, Li Xing's mood brightened considerably.

Li Xing didn't care about anything else—making money, improving his strength, ahem~

He was only fifteen; although that was old enough, he still had to be wary of the "Harmony Beast" and such.

For now, he had to stay steady and not think about those messy things.

Li Xing thought this way, and he acted accordingly.

The setting sun painted the space in vibrant colors.

The three members of Pilaf's gang were piloting three strange-looking mechs.

"Are you ready?"

"My Lord, we are ready at all times!"

Li Xing's face darkened.

"I'll emphasize this one more time: what should you call me?"

"President Li!"

"Lord Chairman!"

"Chairman Li Xing."

Li Xing felt his blood pressure rising, his head spinning.

He glared at them, staring daggers.

Gritting his teeth, he said:

"I will emphasize this one more time: if you get the titles wrong again, I will deduct 1% of your dividends directly."

As soon as Li Xing said this, the three of them tensed up, their breathing quickened, and their ears pricked up.

They could already see the prospects of wealth; a golden path lay right before them.

If they were to lose heaps of cash just because of a small slip-up in titles, they would wake up from their sleep just to slap themselves twice.

"From now on, we shall be known in the shadows as Polar Night, an organization that secretly guards Earth and prevents various evil enemies from destroying it.

There are only the four of us, and you three are the people I trust the most; no one else will ever join.

In this organization, I am the Eternal Night Monarch, Pilaf is Aeon Light, Xiao Wu is Black Rose, and Ashu is Polar Ray.

You don't have to memorize these titles, but our identities must be kept absolutely confidential.

Our goal is to protect Earth."

"Do you understand?"

The three of them looked excited and agitated.

"Yes, My Lord, we understand."

Li Xing was annoyed to death.

Did these guys really have no brains?

"What?"

In the end, it was Pilaf who reacted first.

"Understood, Number One. I am Number Two."

Following that, Xiao Wu hurriedly identified herself as Number Three, and Ashu, still dazed and confused, could only call himself Number Four.
