After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
Jiang Ling had an idea, but he did not know whether he should say it.
After thinking it over, he still said it.
For no other reason than that he felt cooking like this was pretty exhausting for Chi-Chi.
"Chi-Chi, have you ever thought that, in your family, you could actually cook big-pot meals?"
"I mean, buy a huge pot, then make enough of one dish for a dozen people in one go. A few dishes like that would be enough to eat."
When Chi-Chi heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Great idea!
Why hadn't she thought of that before?
Cooking that way would be much easier. Though the texture and flavor would lose out to dishes made one by one, Goku and Gohan were not picky eaters!
Besides, with the strength she had trained up since childhood, handling big-pot meals would be a piece of cake. There would not be the slightest pressure.
After dinner.
Jiang Ling and Bulma left.
They went back together to Bulma's home in West City.
After all.
They had been out for so long. It would not be right not to go home and take a look.
Even if the two of them were now in a relationship and slept together, they were not married yet. It was not appropriate for her to keep staying at Jiang Ling's home.
The two of them stayed in West City for a while.
Jiang Ling did not waste that time. Now that he had a girlfriend, he could not just be obsessed with training and still live in the woman's house, right?
Jiang Ling was somewhat chauvinistic.
Since the woman had money and he could not compare, he had to at least give her a decent life.
Bulma had said she did not mind whether the place was good or not, but Jiang Ling had not taken that to heart. His chauvinism would not allow him to live off a woman!
So.
Jiang Ling went out to work.
Relying on the "master-level singing," "master-level acting," "master-level arrangement and composition," and "master-level drawing" he had previously obtained from signing in, along with the works he had known by heart before transmigrating, he made a spectacular rise in the entertainment industry.
Within half a year, all kinds of works appeared out of nowhere.
Earth's film industry and music industry were shaken.
Jiang Ling threw them into complete chaos.
He obtained all kinds of honors.
For example, Best Actor, God of Song, God of Lyrics and Music, God of Screenwriting, and Great Director!
After that, he entered the comics industry as well.
The comics he drew sold like hotcakes all over the world.
There were famous works such as One Piece, Naruto, Gintama, Weathering with You, Your Name, Inuyasha, and so on.
Fans all over the world were shocked by his genius ideas.
They were also very confused about why he had so much energy.
He sang and acted, wrote lyrics and composed music, worked as a screenwriter, and even went off to draw comics too.
And he was fast, with high quality!
He utterly crushed his peers by dozens of streets!
The fans did not know that, with Jiang Ling's energy, these things were nothing to him.
He also had a skill called "super hand speed." With that, he could write ten thousand words in less than even ten minutes.
With these absolute advantages, most people across the globe were Jiang Ling's fans, covering all age groups.
Jiang Ling also became the entertainment industry's one and only god!
Jiang God!
After dominating the entertainment industry for a year, Jiang Ling opened a company, recruited many singers and actors, and handed all the works he had created to the company to manage.
There were simply too many works for him to sing or act in alone.
So he took them out for the singers and actors under him to use, which could be considered making full use of them. Besides, it could also make money.
The company also recruited a group of trainees. Jiang Ling specifically instructed that they had to train for two and a half years before debuting. That way, their foundation would be more solid, and the road ahead would be a little easier.
After opening the company, Jiang Ling had Bulma find someone reliable to manage it, while he himself became a hands-off boss.
Using the money he had earned, he built a big house on the site of his original home.
The house was huge, the decor was excellent, and the yard was spacious too.
Jiang Ling brought his girlfriend, Bulma, and officially moved into the large house.
He could tell that Bulma's face was brimming with a happy smile.
She was happy for him.
So.
That very day, Jiang Ling took Bulma through every corner of the large house, leaving behind traces that belonged to the two of them.
His money-making goal was complete.
Jiang Ling was in no rush to train. Instead, he turned on his computer and began another side job of his.
Writing novels!
With the boost from "super hand speed," his typing speed practically took off.
Before long, several novels with millions of words each had gone viral across the entire internet.
The author's daily update count was terrifyingly high, and the quality of the novels was exceptionally good too.
They directly slaughtered the novels online at the time.
After all, other people only updated a few thousand words a day.
But Jiang Ling updated over a hundred thousand words a day!
Every single book got over a hundred thousand!
After he finished all that, another few months had passed.
Jiang Ling finally had some free time.
He relaxed for a few days.
That day.
Jiang Ling woke up in bed, and Bulma was nowhere beside him.
He was not surprised either.
Wearing only a pair of loose shorts, he walked straight to the kitchen.
He saw Bulma's blue hair pinned up, her body dressed in very little fabric, an apron tied around her, large stretches of fair skin exposed as she made breakfast by the stove.
She really did look rather like a good wife and loving mother...
If Jiang Ling had not known her, he would have believed it.
Jiang Ling walked up behind Bulma, wrapped both arms around her waist from behind, and leaned his head beside her ear.
He said softly, "What got you interested in making breakfast today?"
"Just felt like it," Bulma replied.
"Then what if I'm feeling interested too?"
As Jiang Ling spoke, his hands slipped in through the gaps in the apron and began teasing her.
Bulma's face grew redder and redder as she pouted coquettishly, "It's so early in the morning. Why are you so worked up... Was last night not enough...?"
"Not enough. Help me out."
"I really can't with you."
Bulma turned off the heat and rolled her eyes.
Then she turned to face Jiang Ling, crouched down, and helped him.
An hour later.
Jiang Ling walked out of the kitchen perfectly satisfied, even carrying breakfast with him.
Because Bulma had been busy, he had made breakfast.
After finishing breakfast.
Jiang Ling lay down on a recliner in the yard, eyes half-closed, basking comfortably in the sun.
A recently popular song was playing beside his ear.
Of course, it was one he had sung.
Just then.
The system's voice rang out.
[Ding! Long time no see, Host!]
"Son! So you do still know how to come out? I thought you'd disappeared."
Jiang Ling roasted it.
He had tried looking for the system before, but without exception, no one answered.
[Ding, Host, please call me System!]
"What? You don't acknowledge me as your daddy anymore?"
[Host, this System went to upgrade earlier. The upgrade is now complete, and I am already version 3.0!]
The System ignored Jiang Ling's words and directly changed the subject.
"Oh?"
Jiang Ling sat up, interested.
He wanted to know what new functions the System had gained.
[Ding! The results of this System's update are as follows:]
[Fixed bugs]
[Launched new functions...]
