"An airplane that suddenly appeared?"
A thought suddenly occurred to Li Xing.
In this village, apart from Oolong, the little pig who could transform, the only thing of any value was the Dragon Ball.
At this point in time, only Bulma and Pilaf's people were searching for the Dragon Balls.
It was obvious who was in the airplane.
A chill ran down Li Xing's back, and he instinctively quickened his pace.
He didn't know why the other party hadn't come out to seize it, but if they showed up, he wouldn't be able to resist them.
The original story had always revolved around Sun Wukong, but now he was facing a real world, and his arrival in the Dragon Ball World had already caused changes.
It wouldn't be strange for Pilaf and the others to show up.
"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've lived long enough. Pilaf's talent for scientific research is only a little inferior to Bulma's."
A glint flashed in Li Xing's eyes.
An idea came to him.
He wasn't about to follow Sun Wukong and eventually head to Master Roshi's island for some miserable training.
Setting aside Sun Wukong's side, there weren't many factions on Earth he could choose from at this time.
Bulma's family, Pilaf's group, the Red Ribbon Army, and Master Crane's group.
By comparison, Pilaf's group was naturally his best choice.
Oh, right. There were also Cat Hermit and Kami.
With his current level of strength, Li Xing had no way of going to them.
He focused his attention, and his personal stats appeared before him.
His lifespan was still 25, and his physique and mental strength were both at full status, at 1. Only his energy had changed, rising to 5.
That must have been the warm current he'd just felt.
Li Xing looked at the stats, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
His battle power had become 5. It seemed his battle power was related to his basic stats.
He didn't ask the system out loud.
If he couldn't figure it out after one test, he could try twice.
At most, it would take three tries for him to get a general idea of how battle power was calculated.
Comparing his basic stats with the current ones, Li Xing had a few ideas, though they weren't fully formed.
"I can just about count as having some strength now. I just don't know if I can withstand bullets."
Li Xing felt hopeful.
He still remembered a famous moment from the Dragon Ball Z story.
"Five-point battle-power weakling!"
That was what he was now, but his battle power was still on par with an old man holding a gun. He shouldn't be that weak.
"Compared to Master Roshi's battle power of 138, my strength is nothing.
"Not to mention King Piccolo's battle power of 260."
Li Xing ran to the river, caught a fish with his strength, and headed toward the distant forest.
His most pressing need was to find something to eat.
Filling his stomach came first.
He couldn't even bring himself to look at the numbers in parentheses at the end of his stats panel.
Simply put, he'd embarrassed himself badly.
Three days later.
Li Xing had followed the river for an unknown distance.
With his current strength, he was five times stronger than an ordinary person. His speed and endurance were simply beyond what a normal person could match.
Over the past three days, whenever he had time, he trained in all sorts of "dangerous places."
For example, beneath waterfalls, or climbing rocks in the middle of rushing rivers.
With the help of Devour Ability, Li Xing's strength had also increased significantly.
His physique had reached 1.01, his energy had reached 6, and his overall battle power had reached 6.06.
Li Xing had also realized that his strength increased by multiplying his stats.
His mental strength hadn't changed at all, and he didn't know whether the three stats were multiplied together or just two of them.
What exactly did mental strength do? Did it count toward battle power in the end?
Unfortunately, no matter how much he experimented,
the Super Choice System didn't appear again.
He'd gone through even more than what happened in the original story, yet he still hadn't managed to trigger the choice system.
Li Xing could only go with the flow and leave it to fate.
After three days of painstakingly using Devouring Power, he'd only increased his physique by 0.01.
Without the system, he couldn't conduct any in-depth experiments.
Seeing that his hard training hadn't done much, Li Xing simply gave up and leisurely wandered around the mountain streams and rivers.
The nearest crisis, involving the Red Ribbon Army, was still a year away.
He only needed around 100 battle power to resolve that crisis.
The crisis involving King Piccolo was still four years away.
Li Xing refused to believe that he couldn't get four choices in those four years.
With rewards from four choices, his strength would surely skyrocket.
Thinking this, Li Xing crossed the river at his feet and entered the dense forest on the other bank.
"Opportunity detected. Super Choice System activated."
Li Xing's eyes lit up.
Was this a case of unintentionally planting a willow and having it grow into a tree?
He hadn't expected the system to pop up now.
"System, what's the opportunity?"
"Choice one: Help Xiao Wu and Ashu escape the dinosaur pursuing them. Reward: physique +0.1.
"Choice two: Help the dinosaur kill Xiao Wu and Ashu, then kill the dinosaur. Reward: mental strength +0.01.
"Choice three: Subdue Xiao Wu and Ashu, then subdue Pilaf. Reward: energy +5."
Li Xing's mouth twitched.
This lousy system used a fancy title to make a big deal out of things, then gave out limp, underwhelming rewards. It was no fun at all.
Li Xing grumbled to himself, but began to think it over seriously.
This mission wouldn't be easy.
His battle power was only 6.06. It was completely unrealistic to try to defeat the dinosaur himself.
Choice two was out.
As for subduing Xiao Wu and Ashu, he might not even be able to beat the two of them with his bare hands, let alone with all the weapons they surely had on them.
That meant choice three wasn't the best option either.
Subduing Xiao Wu and Ashu wouldn't be easy. It might even be harder than going to defeat Master Roshi right now.
It was true that Pilaf, that deadbeat, and his two tenacious sidekicks had endured plenty of setbacks and hardships, and the three of them had provided no shortage of laughs.
But as the comic relief, only those three knew how much suffering they'd gone through and what it had really been like.
Even so, Xiao Wu and Ashu still stuck by Pilaf, letting him beat and berate them.
Without an overwhelming advantage in strength, Li Xing wouldn't casually put himself in the spotlight.
Although he'd thought about subduing the three of them when he left the village, he wouldn't make a move until he had at least 50 battle power.
If he failed to subdue them and got himself trapped instead, he'd become a laughingstock.
The only mission he could complete easily was choice one.
After that, he'd just have to come up with a plan to shake off the dinosaur.
Besides, Li Xing wanted to see how much his physique would improve.
That 0.1 would absolutely make a huge difference to his overall strength.
With that in mind, determination flashed in Li Xing's eyes.
"System, I choose mission three."
"Ka-ka~"
The corners of Li Xing's mouth lifted slightly.
He'd analyzed everything like a tiger, but when it came to action, he'd gone zero for five.
What had the system said? Opportunity detected.
And the time before that?
Danger detected.
What did that mean?
This mission was good for him.
As long as he completed it, he'd definitely reap a huge reward.
His analysis just now had sounded good.
But thinking about it carefully, there was one flaw in his reasoning.
If Xiao Wu and Ashu still had plenty of powerful weapons, one dinosaur wouldn't pose any threat to them.
Thinking it through, it was clear the two of them must be at the end of their rope.
And on top of that, they'd used up their supplies.
They had to be in bad shape.
If so, after rescuing them, he could let them rest for a while. That shouldn't be a problem, right?
They didn't have any tracking devices on them, so it would surely take them some time to find Pilaf Castle, wouldn't it?
That would leave Li Xing plenty of time.
