Bluffing, Mission Complete, Finally Strong

Li Xing did not mind being the villain.

However, if the rewards were meager after playing the villain, he would certainly not be pleased.

He had been in the Dragon Ball World for two days, and he had already had his fill of losses.

If the rewards continued to be this small, who would bother?

If the God-Level Choice System wasn't going to be useful, he might as well just lie flat.

Working hard at training was naturally out of the question.

Unless he was willing to claim the Saiyan bloodline, no matter how hard he worked, he would never be able to compare to those who cheated.

Gurgle!

His stomach let out a thunderous roar.

Li Xing's expression shifted.

He had been in the Dragon Ball World for at least a day; he didn't know about the time he was unconscious, but since waking up, he hadn't had a single drop of water.

Coincidentally, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Listen, is that even human language? You already said the others are God-Level Choice Systems, what kind of system am I?"

Li Xing was stunned.

If even the system was acting like a coward, what could he do?

Unlike others who could take their systems down with them, if he died, the system would simply switch to a new host. He certainly wouldn't choose to die.

He had no real motivation for cultivation; he could only rely on the system to scrape by and wait for the end.

Whatever it gave, little or not, was better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Xing silently accepted the fact that his system was a weakling and began walking toward the outskirts of the village.

Since he was leaving, he naturally had to act tough.

It was only one day of hunger; compared to the hardships of his past life, this was nothing.

Besides.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the ground at the village entrance began to shake, and dust filled the air.

A massive figure loomed in the dust.

"Have you considered it? The young girl to be sacrificed to this King should be delivered by now."

Li Xing curled his lip.

He knew that this guy, King Oolong, was just a half-baked amateur; his transformations had no real power.

If it were Puar transforming, he would have to be cautious and think it over carefully.

Oolong?

There was absolutely no need to worry.

In any other place, Li Xing would certainly not be this reckless.

He was currently just an ordinary person; one could say he had no strength at all.

The waters of the Dragon Ball World were deep, what with the current technology, the androids, and the martial artists.

If he ran into any of them, he would surely die.

But encountering a half-baked amateur like Oolong, he had nothing to fear.

Judging by the way this monster was bluffing, this situation was under control.

Shouldering his shovel, Li Xing walked slowly and unhurriedly toward the hulking monster.

As the only person moving, Li Xing's actions were naturally noticed by King Oolong.

"Scoundrel, you actually dare to move? Do you look down on this King?"

Li Xing tilted his head back, staring at the powerful monster with disdain.

"Yes."

Oolong's entire body trembled, his bulbous eyes widening as he glared fixedly at Li Xing.

"What did you say?"

Li Xing picked at his ear.

"I said, I look down on you. What of it?"

Facing Oolong, Li Xing could not have been more arrogant.

The giant monster that Oolong had transformed into involuntarily took a step back, brandishing the weapon in his hand.

"Scoundrel, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Li Xing stared at King Oolong with a face full of smiles.

"Come on, do you want to fight?"

As he spoke, the shovel on his shoulder slid down to the ground, producing a crisp metallic clang that echoed across the fields.

"You, you, how could you do this?"

Li Xing's display of raw strength terrified King Oolong, who stammered as he spoke, seemingly wanting to accuse Li Xing of not playing by the rules.

Li Xing took a deep breath.

His system choice was to simply leave and ignore everything.

Li Xing had just had some rather unpleasant thoughts.

The system spoke up immediately to stop him.

Li Xing understood what the system meant.

He could choose not to complete the task, but he absolutely could not act in a way that contradicted his choice.

Thinking of this, Li Xing really wanted to curse this damn system.

It was weak as hell, and on top of that, it had all sorts of restrictions.

It was just being difficult for the sake of it.

If it wanted to help, it should do it properly; if it didn't want to help, it shouldn't have come at all.

In his past life, although he was just a bottom-tier laborer, at least his life wasn't under much pressure.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, he was on the path to pursuing happiness.

But after coming to the Dragon Ball World, his only goal was to survive.

He was doing worse and worse, wasn't he?

During the brief time Li Xing spent blocking the monster Oolong, the villagers also noticed that something had changed outside.

Given that Oolong's attacks usually shook the earth, the long silence made them very curious.

Some of the more curious villagers, whose families had already sent their young daughters away, quietly cracked open their doors and windows to observe the situation outside.

They were filled with hope that Li Xing could defeat King Oolong and save their village.

Naturally, things would not go as they wished.

Li Xing's goal was to leave the village and obtain 5 points of energy.

"Well? Are we fighting or not? If you're going to fight, hurry up; if not, get out of my way. This Seat is leaving the village."

Li Xing threatened King Oolong bluntly, not giving him any face at all.

Oolong gritted his teeth in anger, but he dared not act rashly.

He knew his own limitations.

He was a total fraud, a paper tiger—all show and no substance.

The person before him had a steady gaze and a calm posture; he looked like a powerful individual.

He dared not easily offend such a strong person.

Just as Oolong was caught in a dilemma, a flash of inspiration struck him, and his tone shifted with inexplicable surprise.

"You're not from this village?"

The villagers' hearts tightened at these words, and they silently mourned for Li Xing.

In their eyes, King Oolong was capable of endless transformations, possessed unfathomable strength, and was a cruel, heartless monster.

Angering him would surely lead to a bitter end.

No sooner had the thought crossed their minds than King Oolong actually stepped aside, letting Li Xing leave.

Li Xing had long anticipated this outcome, so he didn't say anything else and strode away.

As for that guy Oolong, he certainly wouldn't fight him.

He only relied on his ability to transform and bluff to scare this village.

Upon hearing that Li Xing was an outsider, he was even less likely to dare to make a move.

Ignoring the dejected villagers, Li Xing simply walked away.

It was the villagers' own stupidity; if they had sent a pretty young lady to take care of Li Xing, perhaps his heart would have softened, and he might have stepped in to help them defeat Oolong.

On a nearby mountain, two figures hid behind the woods, sweating profusely as they lowered their binoculars.

The dog-man was trembling like a leaf.

"Xiao Wu, this..."

"Ashu, we... we didn't find it, we didn't find that Dragon Ball."

"Ah, right, right, we didn't find it. Let's go back and find King Pilaf; he will definitely forgive us, right?"

"Right, definitely. Maybe the device malfunctioned and didn't scan properly, which is why we couldn't find it."

The two finished speaking and exchanged a glance, both still shaken to the core.

Their eyes simultaneously betrayed an expression of sheer terror.

That monster had been so incredibly tall, yet that guy hadn't shown a shred of fear.

He was certainly not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Xiao Wu, if we go back now, we're bound to be punished. How about...?"

"How about...?"

"Run!"

With perfect tacit understanding, the two quietly retreated from the mountaintop, activated a capsule, and took off in a plane.

Li Xing walked out of the village with his hands in his pockets.

"Mission complete. Reward: 5 energy points."

As the system spoke, Li Xing felt a wave of warmth wash over him; his cells felt as if they had been fully charged, leaving him brimming with vigor.

Li Xing felt as though he could kill a bull with a single punch.

Just as he was about to check his status, the roar of a plane echoed from the distance.

Li Xing frowned and looked toward the sound.
