Very soon, Jiang Ling received a system prompt.
[Ding. Check-in count reorganized.]
"Huh? Time clearly hasn't passed that fast, right? How can I check in again?"
Jiang Ling asked in confusion.
Only after the system explained did he understand that on Namek, a day passed very quickly.
Roughly three days there was equivalent to one day on Earth.
"Yo, System, you're pretty considerate, huh? You can even adjust according to the local time."
Jiang Ling said with a smile.
[Of course. This system would never do anything to cheat its host.]
"Fine, then help me check in first."
As Jiang Ling spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on Guldo.
[Ding. Check-in successful. Obtained "Guldo's Dance."]
Jiang Ling: "???"
What happened to being considerate?
And you give me this thing?
[Ding. Host, this system deceives neither child nor elder. The skills obtained from check-ins are random by nature.]
Jiang Ling waved a hand, his head starting to ache.
Now that he had checked in on Guldo and gotten this skill, if he wanted to check in again, he would have to wait until a year later...
Thinking about it, getting the skills he wanted before had been far too easy. Maybe he had just been too lucky, getting the skill he wanted every time.
Now that he had drawn a bad skill, the drawback immediately showed itself...
"The Time Stop skill is absolutely not something I can let slip by. I'll have to think of a way."
"As for Ginyu, I'll wait until tomorrow after the check-in cooldown passes."
Jiang Ling looked at Ginyu, whose face was full of resentment, and Guldo, who was barely breathing, and made up his mind.
But just then...
From afar came the aura of Son Goku and Frieza clashing in battle.
"Looks like they've already run into each other. Then I need to go over and take a look. If Frieza wins and successfully rules the universe, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Jiang Ling thought to himself.
He did not want to end up wandering the universe with Bulma in the future, hiding from Frieza's pursuit.
A life spent in constant fear like that...
Just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.
Carrying the limp Ginyu and Guldo, Jiang Ling flew straight toward the direction of the battle.
On the other side.
Son Goku had directly faced off against Frieza.
"I hear you're strong. Then let me test your strength."
After loosening up his body, Son Goku assumed a fighting stance, and the aura around him burst outward.
Frieza was slightly startled when he saw Goku.
"You... When I destroyed Planet Vegeta, the Saiyan who resisted until the very end looked exactly like you..."
Hearing this, Son Goku was also taken aback.
Then he shook his head.
"Maybe. I do have some Saiyan blood. It's normal for someone there to look like me."
"But Planet Vegeta was destroyed by you. I really can't understand how that guy Vegeta is still willing to work under you."
"Hohoho." Frieza laughed. "He still doesn't know about that."
"And for a mere Saiyan monkey like you to dare challenge me—you truly don't know your place. It seems you still don't understand this great king's power."
Frieza had absolute confidence in his own strength.
He did not take Son Goku seriously at all.
He sat casually in his hover pod, with no intention of getting down.
"Come then. I can finish you with one hand."
The corner of Frieza's mouth curled up. He stretched out a hand, and a laser shot from his fingertip.
"?"
Son Goku was puzzled. An attack like that seemed a little weak to him now.
He casually slapped the laser away.
Then he stepped forward and threw a punch down at Frieza.
Frieza was somewhat surprised that his attack had failed. Seeing Son Goku appear before him in an instant, even daring to try to punch him—
He was even more shocked.
A monkey like an ant could actually move that fast?
Bang!
Frieza reached out and caught Son Goku's fist.
Then he felt a powerful force surge through his hand.
The Hovering Baby Carriage he was sitting in could not withstand such force, and Frieza was driven backward along with it.
Only when he crashed into the wall did he finally stop.
There was a bang.
The "baby carriage" Frieza had always kept with him could not withstand such tremendous force and exploded outright, scattering into fragments across the ground.
Since arriving on Namek, this was the first time he had left his "baby carriage."
His entire body was revealed.
Mm...
He really was a little short.
Tap.
Frieza's face darkened.
For the first time, both his feet stepped onto the soil of Namek.
One foot had three toes.
Both feet together actually had six toes!
"Very good. You have successfully angered me. A tiny ant actually dares to bite back."
"I'm going to release my seal."
Frieza's face was grim.
A violent aura surged over his body.
He had never expected that he, an emperor of the universe, would actually be humiliated!
The contemptuous words he had spoken earlier now made him seem like nothing more than a clown.
Son Goku was a little baffled, not knowing what had happened.
He saw Frieza's body swell rapidly, his form changing.
He became stronger, and taller too.
His muscles grew solid, and his height doubled!
The two horns on his head transformed into something like bull horns, thick and sturdy.
His combat power rose from over five hundred thousand to over one million!
Creak... creak... creak...
Frieza slowly took a few steps, making a "creak" sound.
That elegant, haughty expression returned to his face.
"Interesting." Son Goku sensed the change in Frieza's body and aura, and his eyes lit up.
"Take this!"
Goku charged forward and punched straight out.
Frieza tilted his head, dodging the blow.
He reached out, grabbed Goku's wrist, and punched him in the stomach!
Then his tail coiled around Goku's waist and hurled him away.
Goku braced himself against the ground, flipped backward several times, and landed steadily on his feet.
"You're pretty strong. Now the warm-up match is over!"
Goku smiled.
Then his aura surged.
Blazing flames of ki roared up around him.
The shockwave swept up the dust on the ground and rolled outward in every direction.
His figure flashed.
The next moment, he appeared right in front of Frieza.
His fist slammed into Frieza at incredible speed.
Frieza's eyes widened. He couldn't react in time and was caught completely off guard, beaten back step by step.
Goku lashed out with a whip-like kick, chopping into Frieza and sending him flying far away.
Then he gathered a Kamehameha and hit him head-on.
Boom—
A huge cloud of smoke and dust exploded upward.
"Huff, huff~"
Goku panted a few times, looking in Frieza's direction.
He scratched his head.
"Doesn't look as strong as Jiang Ling said..."
Inside Frieza's spaceship.
Two small figures were walking through it.
They moved on tiptoe, carefully and cautiously, glancing left and right.
"Can't go wrong with being careful."
Krillin said in a low voice.
Gohan nodded. "I know, Uncle Krillin."
Just then.
A foot soldier walked over, holding a laser gun.
Krillin and Gohan hid off to the side, not daring to make a sound.
"Uncle Krillin, I feel like we don't need to hide. This guy is really weak..."
"Huh, you're right."
The two looked at each other.
Then they darted out.
Before the soldier could react, each of them delivered a flying kick, knocking him straight unconscious.
Smack!
The two grinned and high-fived.
"Yeah, we did it!"
"Shh, let's keep looking for the Dragon Balls."
Krillin took out the Dragon Radar.
He led Gohan step by step to the door of a room.
"Hmm... A room where important items are stored is definitely going to have a password and security measures. There might even be an alarm! What should we do?"
Krillin held his chin, deep in thought.
Before he could come up with a plan, Gohan grabbed the doorknob, opened the door, and ran straight inside.
Three Dragon Balls lay quietly on the floor.
Gohan picked up one of the Dragon Balls and said excitedly, "Uncle Krillin, we found them!"
Krillin: "..."
What happened to the password door, traps, and alarms they were supposed to have?
Why was it different from the movies?
