Jiang Ling Without Teeth

The next day.

By the time Jiang Ling got up, Son Gohan had already found some wild fruit in the woods.

That was breakfast.

As they ate the wild fruit, Jiang Ling asked about something.

"Gohan, how long have you been here?"

Hearing that, Son Gohan thought for a moment.

"Um... it should be five months now..."

"Five months..." Jiang Ling murmured to himself, a trace of urgency flashing through his eyes.

According to the plot, Piccolo would only start giving Gohan special training in another month. Right now, he was still in the wilderness survival stage.

In other words, there were still seven months until Vegeta invaded Earth!

If he started training now, his combat power might not catch up to the main group...

[Ding! Detected the host's intense desire. Real-Name Authentication Gift Pack triggered. Please link your ID card to claim it.]

"?"

A question mark slowly rose over Jiang Ling's head.

"System, why do you have such a strong mobile-game vibe...?"

[Sigh, let's not bring up the past.]

[May I ask if the host wishes to link it?]

"Link it!"

Jiang Ling recited a string of numbers: "44＊＊＊＊2023＊＊＊＊8878."

[Ding. Link successful. Congratulations, you have obtained the Real-Name Authentication Gift Pack.]

"Open it!"

[Ding. Obtained one Special Senzu Bean.]

"Special Senzu Bean?"

Jiang Ling looked at the Special Senzu Bean that had appeared in his hand. Its appearance was about the same as an ordinary Senzu Bean.

[Special Senzu Bean: Taking it can increase combat power by 200!]

Jiang Ling was delighted.

"As expected of my son. You know how to be filial to Dad."

[?]

"You called me Dad with your own mouth last night. Forgot already?" Jiang Ling looked smug.

[Host, you have no teeth!]

"That's called shameless!"

Jiang Ling curled his lip, then swallowed the Special Senzu Bean.

In an instant, a powerful force filled his entire body. The muscles in his arms became more solid, and six-pack abs appeared on his stomach.

At that moment, Jiang Ling felt as if he were invincible under heaven.

He took a deep breath.

Good. His reason was still there. That thought just now had only been an illusion. After suddenly gaining dozens of times more strength than before, anyone would have that kind of illusion.

Son Gohan stared blankly at Jiang Ling.

"Jiang Ling, why do I feel like you've gotten so much stronger...?"

Jiang Ling nodded without explaining, then threw a punch at the large rock beside him.

Boom!

The rock was covered in cracks.

Son Gohan was shocked.

Jiang Ling, who could not even beat a tiger yesterday, had actually become this strong today.

It made a feeling of admiration rise in him.

Awesome!

So cool!

"You're amazing!"

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

Jiang Ling stood with his hands behind his back. A breeze blew against him, making his clothes snap and flutter.

Inadvertently, it revealed his six-pack abs.

Jiang Ling parted ways with Gohan.

He had originally wanted to train under Piccolo together with Gohan.

But then he felt that Piccolo, at this point, would not help a stranger like him.

Plans could not keep up with changes.

He had unexpectedly obtained a "Special Senzu Bean," raising his combat power to 200 points. Now he could leave the newbie village and search for better ways to grow stronger.

In a certain city.

After a singer's concert ended, the singer returned backstage.

A staff member with a tail came up and said, "Brother Gua, you're my idol. I've listened to your songs since I was little. Can I shake your hand?"

The singer smiled and nodded, taking him for a fan, and reached out to shake his hand.

After the handshake, the staff member's lips curved up slightly, and he walked straight out of the backstage area.

That was right. This person was Jiang Ling.

Half a month had already passed since he separated from Gohan.

He had checked in with many singers, but what he obtained were skills like master-level cooking, master-level acting, master-level driving, proficient-level programming, and so on.

Only just now had he finally obtained master-level singing.

Now, it could be said that he knew a lot of things, but not a single one of them was useful for increasing his combat power.

"At this time, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and the others should be training at Kami's place, right? I should go take a look."

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, took out a capsule, and threw it on the ground. It turned into a cool-looking Hover Motorcycle.

For the sake of this motorcycle, he had been making money nonstop over the past half month. He had finally checked in and gotten a lockpicking skill, then drove the motorcycle out of a rich man's house.

At the same time, he had also found Korin Tower's location.

Because Kami's Lookout was right above Korin Tower.

If he wanted to go there, he had to know where Korin Tower was.

Jiang Ling thought that with his current abilities, he could definitely live a very comfortable life on Earth. Maybe he should just slack off completely?

After all, if the sky fell, Son Goku and the other Z Fighters would hold it up. He might just get caught in the crossfire and die a few times. There were Dragon Balls anyway, so he would be revived...

[Ding. Host, friendly reminder: your soul is not under this world's jurisdiction, so Shenron cannot revive you.]

"Damn it!"

"You bastard!"

Jiang Ling cursed under his breath, directly got on the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and sped off toward Korin Tower.

He knew that without strength, he was nothing at all! Let alone living that wonderful life surrounded by beautiful women.

According to legend, in Korin Holy Land, there was a Korin Tower, and inside Korin Tower lived Korin.

Jiang Ling looked at the Korin Tower rising high into the clouds and nodded. It was exactly the same as in the manga.

After a long journey, he had finally arrived here.

Two people lived beneath the tower, a father and son.

One was a strong-bodied man dressed like someone from a primitive tribe, Bora, and the other was a young man, Upa.

The mission of their clan was to protect Korin Holy Land.

"Hello there."

Jiang Ling greeted them.

Seeing the newcomer, Bora's body tensed, his face full of vigilance. "What are you here for?"

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Ling waved his hand and said with a smile, "I came to climb Korin Tower after being introduced by Master Roshi."

Hearing this, Bora's expression eased a little, and a trace of goodwill appeared in his eyes.

"Master Roshi? Is the old master doing well now?"

According to legend, climbing Korin Tower could greatly increase one's power.

Master Roshi had once climbed Korin Tower and succeeded.

Bora had also climbed it when he was young, but he had failed.

So he knew just how difficult climbing the tower was for an ordinary martial artist.

"Master Roshi is living very well. He eats great, he's strong as an ox, and he watches videos every day."

Jiang Ling said it with a completely serious face.

The person involved did not know anyway, so he could say whatever he wanted.

The key point was, he was not even wrong.
