An Analysis Fiercer Than a Tiger

"An airplane that appeared out of nowhere?"

A thought suddenly surfaced in Li Xing's mind.

In this village, aside from Oolong, the little pig who could shapeshift, only the Dragon Balls held any real value.

During this period, only Bulma and Pilaf's group were searching for the Dragon Balls.

It was obvious who was inside that plane.

A chill ran down Li Xing's spine, and his pace involuntarily quickened.

He didn't know why they hadn't come out to seize the Dragon Ball, but if they did, he wouldn't be able to put up a fight.

The original story always revolved around Sun Wukong to drive the plot, but he was now facing a real world, and his arrival in the Dragon Ball World had already caused variables.

It wouldn't be strange for Pilaf and his cohorts to appear.

"Once I'm stronger, I'll have to go meet that comedic trio."

"In the Dragon Ball World, those three are the only ones who live long enough, and Pilaf's talent for scientific research is only slightly inferior to Bulma's."

A sharp glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

An idea sprouted in his mind.

He wouldn't follow behind Sun Wukong and end up going to Master Roshi's island for grueling training.

Excluding Sun Wukong's side, there weren't many factions on Earth to choose from at this time.

Bulma's family, Pilaf's side, the Red Ribbon Army, and Master Crane's side.

By comparison, Pilaf's side was naturally his best choice.

Right, there were also Cat Hermit and Kami.

But with his current strength, Li Xing had no way of reaching them.

He focused his attention, and his personal data appeared before his eyes.

His lifespan was still 25, his physique and mental power were both at 1, but his energy had become 5.

That must have been the warm current he had just felt.

Li Xing looked at the data, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

His combat power had become 5; it seemed combat power was related to his base stats.

He didn't ask the system.

If he couldn't figure out the reason once, he could do it twice.

At most, after three times, he would have a rough idea of how combat power was calculated.

Comparing his base data with this current set, Li Xing had some ideas, though they weren't fully formed yet.

"I barely count as having some strength now, but I don't know if I can withstand a bullet."

Li Xing yearned for that.

He still remembered a famous scene in the Dragon Ball Z storyline.

"A combat power of five!"

He was that "combat power of five" right now, but his combat power was comparable to an old man holding a firearm, so he shouldn't be considered weak.

"Compared to Master Roshi's combat power of 138, my strength is nothing to look at. Not to mention King Piccolo's combat power of 260."

Li Xing ran to the riverbank, used his strength to catch a fish, and headed toward the distant forest.

His top priority now was to get something to eat.

Filling his stomach was the most urgent matter.

He couldn't even bear to look at the values in the parentheses behind his data panel.

Simply put, it was a massive embarrassment.

Three days later.

Li Xing had walked an unknown distance along the river.

With his current strength, equivalent to five times that of an ordinary person, his speed and stamina were incomparable to those of a normal human.

For these three days, he spent his free time training in various "dangerous places."

For instance, under waterfalls, rock climbing in the center of rapid rivers, and so on.

With the help of his Devour Ability, Li Xing's strength had also significantly improved.

His physique reached 1.01, his energy reached 6, and his overall combat power reached 6.06.

Li Xing also realized that the increase in strength was actually the product of his data.

His mental power remained unchanged, and Li Xing didn't know if it was the product of three values or just two.

What exactly was the function of mental power, and did it ultimately count toward one's combat power?

Unfortunately, no matter how he experimented, the Super Choice System did not appear again.

He had experienced things far more exciting than the original story, yet even that failed to trigger the choice system.

Li Xing could only resign himself to fate and let things take their natural course.

For three days, he had painstakingly used his Devouring Power, yet it only increased his physique by 0.01.

Without the system, he naturally couldn't conduct any in-depth experiments.

Seeing that his grueling training had little effect, Li Xing simply gave up and wandered leisurely through the mountain streams and rivers.

The nearest crisis, the Red Ribbon Army, was still a year away.

To resolve that crisis, a combat power of around 100 would be enough.

The remaining King Piccolo crisis was still four years away.

Li Xing didn't believe that in these four years, he wouldn't be able to receive four choices.

With the rewards provided by four choices, his strength would surely skyrocket.

Thinking this, Li Xing crossed the river beneath his feet and entered a dense forest on the opposite bank.

"Opportunity detected, Super Choice System activated."

Li Xing's eyes lit up.

Was this a case of planting willows unintentionally, only for them to provide shade?

He hadn't expected the system to pop up at this moment.

"System, what is the opportunity?"

"Choice one: Help Xiao Wu and Ashu escape the dinosaur chasing them. Reward: Physique +0.1.

Choice two: Help the dinosaur kill Xiao Wu and Ashu, then kill the dinosaur. Reward: Mental Power +0.01.

Choice three: Subjugate Xiao Wu and Ashu, then subjugate Pilaf. Reward: Energy +5."

Li Xing's mouth twitched.

This damn system talked a big game, but the rewards it gave were weak and unfulfilling.

Li Xing grumbled inwardly, but he began to think seriously.

This mission was not easy.

His combat power was only 6.06; it was completely unrealistic to think he could defeat a dinosaur.

Choice two was naturally ruled out.

As for subjugating Xiao Wu and Ashu, he wasn't even sure he could beat the two of them with his bare hands, let alone the fact that they surely had plenty of weapons.

In that case, choice three wasn't the best option either.

Subjugating Xiao Wu and Ashu wouldn't be easy; it might even be harder than making him fight Master Roshi right now.

It was a fact that the troublesome Pilaf and his two tenacious sidekicks had endured countless setbacks and hardships, providing plenty of laughs along the way.

But as the comic relief, only they knew how much suffering they had truly endured.

Even so, the two remained loyal to Pilaf, taking his beatings and scoldings without complaint.

Without absolute, overwhelming strength, Li Xing wouldn't easily show his face.

Although he had considered subjugating Pilaf and his crew when he left the village, he wouldn't make a move without at least 50 combat power.

He didn't want to end up failing to subjugate them and getting trapped himself; that would be a laughingstock.

The only task that could be completed easily was naturally choice one.

The next step would be to use a plan to shake off the dinosaur's pursuit.

Moreover, Li Xing wanted to see how strong the effects would be after his physique increased.

This 0.1 would be a terrifying boost to his overall strength.

Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Li Xing's eyes.

"System, I choose task three."

Click, click~

The corners of Li Xing's mouth curled up slightly.

All that analysis was fierce as a tiger, but the actual operation was a total disaster.

What did the system say? It detected an opportunity.

And the last time?

It detected danger.

What did that imply?

This mission would be beneficial for him.

As long as it was completed, there would certainly be a great harvest.

His analysis just now had been spot on.

But thinking about it carefully, one point didn't hold up.

If Xiao Wu and Ashu still possessed many powerful weapons, a single dinosaur certainly wouldn't be able to threaten them.

Delving deeper, it became clear that the two of them must have reached the end of their rope.

Coupled with the exhaustion of their resources.

Their condition was surely poor.

Since that was the case, there would be no issue with him letting them rest for a period of time after saving them, right?

They didn't have any tracking devices on them, so searching for Pilaf Castle slowly would naturally take time, wouldn't it?

This would leave Li Xing with plenty of time.
