King Kai's Planet

He did not know how long he had slept.

Jiang Ling slowly woke, feeling as if he were nestled in something soft. He was still holding something in his hand—quite full, and even springy.

Jiang Ling unconsciously gave it a squeeze.

A moan sounded beside his ear.

Jiang Ling's mind jolted, and he snapped awake.

He sprang up, spun three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, and landed steadily on the floor.

He stared in shock at the three graceful, fabric-free bodies on the bed.

"Who are you! Why are you sleeping with me?"

As Jiang Ling spoke, he checked his own condition, then let out a sigh of relief.

Good. Aside from the normal physiological reaction of a healthy man, everything else was fine.

One woman said in a delicate voice, "You stinking man, you slept with us and now you want to turn your back on us..."

Another woman sounded pitiful. "That's right, Sister. Our lives are so bitter."

The last woman's tone was resentful. "Just now, you even grabbed my..."

They rose to their feet, their curvaceous figures and fair, delicate skin completely exposed, their stunningly beautiful faces radiating charm as they tempted the heart of the man before them.

Jiang Ling: "..."

Good thing his self-control was strong, or he really might not have been able to hold himself back...

He snorted coldly. "You must have coveted my masculine beauty, so you took advantage of me while I was asleep and..."

"We did not!"

"It was you, you stinking man! You took advantage of us three sisters while we were sleeping, and then, secretly... Wuwuwu!"

"You heartless man!"

When Jiang Ling heard that, he stood there unmoved, watching them coldly.

Seeing that Jiang Ling was impervious to persuasion, the women exchanged glances.

Then their bodies swelled in the wind, transforming into three beautiful snake women.

"Hehe, looks like you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."

"That Son Goku last time had no appreciation for romance at all and got away. This time, no matter what, we can't let you run!"

"Be good and stay here to keep us sisters company!"

Jiang Ling looked at them and smiled. "You finally showed your true forms."

Then his aura erupted, and with a movement of his body, he charged over.

Bang, bang, bang—

Ten minutes later.

"Spare me..."

"I won't dare do it again..."

"We set the trap, then climbed into your bed..."

Jiang Ling said expressionlessly, "Change back into human form."

Hearing that, the three Snake Princesses obediently changed back into human form, though their faces were somewhat bruised and swollen.

Jiang Ling took out a rope, the corner of his mouth curving into an wickedly charming smile, and used it to tie them up one by one.

Looking at his handiwork, Jiang Ling propped his chin and nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't do bad things from now on. If fate wills it, we'll meet again."

Leaving those words behind, Jiang Ling patted his backside, waved his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Only three bound beauties were left behind.

They looked at the fancy, complicated way they had been tied, their faces flushed and their expressions strange.

One of them said in a low voice, "Sister, this binding method... is so embarrassing..."

"This man looks innocent, but I didn't expect him to play in such flashy ways..."

"It's weird, but I think I kind of like it..."

"..."

Back on Snake Way, Jiang Ling naturally had no idea what they were saying.

As for that rope-tying method, he had obtained it by signing in from some stranger by chance. Just now, he had merely used it subconsciously.

After sleeping, his mind was refreshed.

After feasting his eyes, his body was brimming with energy.

Now was the perfect time to set out for King Kai's Planet.

Before, he had been mentally exhausted and could only charge straight ahead. Now, he knew how to use technique.

Jiang Ling's figure bounded forward, crossing several hundred meters in a single step!

His speed was several levels faster than before.

But just then, a sudden notification startled Jiang Ling so badly that he stumbled and nearly fell off Snake Way.

One had to know that beneath Snake Way was hell!

[Ding!]

"Holy shit, System, what are you doing?! Don't scare me like that!" Jiang Ling steadied himself and snapped in anger.

[Ding. Host, the System can now upgrade to System 2.0. Would you like to upgrade?]

"?"

Jiang Ling hadn't expected it to be ready for an upgrade so soon.

He thought it over.

He was a little conflicted.

Logically speaking, the more a system upgraded, the better it should be.

But as an upstanding young man of the twenty-first century who had lived through Apple's infamous backwards system updates, he knew systems didn't necessarily get better with upgrades. They could also get worse...

"Forget it. How much worse can it get? Upgrade it, then."

The System began upgrading. It would take twelve hours before it could be used again.

Jiang Ling didn't mind. There was no one nearby to check in with anyway, so if he couldn't use it, then so be it.

Snake Way was like a snake, winding above a sea of yellow clouds. Its starting point was the snake's head, and its end was the snake's tail.

At that moment, Jiang Ling stood on the snake's tail, looking up at a small planet above him.

The planet was very small and green.

It had a house, a car, flowers, grass, and trees.

It was none other than King Kai's Planet, where North King Kai lived.

Jiang Ling flew into the air and was pulled over by the planet's gravity.

Then he spun through the air in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree turn and landed steadily on King Kai's Planet.

His movements were unbelievably stylish.

After stepping onto King Kai's Planet, Jiang Ling felt a force of gravity unlike Earth's pressing down on him.

Ten times gravity!

As the name suggested, it was ten times stronger than Earth's gravity!

Fortunately, Jiang Ling had been doing weighted training on Kami's Lookout the whole time, so ten times gravity was only a little unfamiliar to him.

After all, when Son Goku first came to King Kai's Planet, his combat power had only been around three or four hundred, and he had even been wearing weighted clothing, yet he had still overcome it in a short time—let alone Jiang Ling, who had a combat power of two thousand.

There were two people on King Kai's Planet: North King Kai and Son Goku.

There were also two pets.

One was a little gorilla, and the other was a firefly.

Jiang Ling stretched his body, letting it adapt to the planet's gravity as quickly as possible.

As he adapted, he greeted them.

"King Kai, Son Goku, gorilla, firefly, hello."

The gorilla: "..."

The firefly: "..."

They indicated that they had names, too.

North King Kai clasped his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. "Hello. You must be the one Earth's Guardian introduced, right? He told me about you."

"Yes. My name is Jiang Ling. I came here this time hoping to improve my strength under your guidance."

"It's a good thing for young people to be motivated," North King Kai said approvingly.

Son Goku greeted him familiarly. "Hi, I'm Son Goku. I was introduced by Kami just like you. From now on, we'll be training together."

Looking at Son Goku in his familiar orange martial arts uniform, with that crab-claw hairstyle on his head, Jiang Ling smiled back. "Although you and I have never met, I've long heard of your great name."

After saying that, he silently added in his heart, The name of the strongest saintly do-gooder in the entire universe...

"Huh?" Son Goku scratched his iconic crab-claw hair. "You know me?"

Jiang Ling said a name: "The World Martial Arts Tournament."

"So that's how it is."

Son Goku understood at once.

That made sense.

The World Martial Arts Tournament was extremely famous on Earth, with countless TV stations broadcasting it. He had won the championship last time, so it was perfectly normal for Jiang Ling to recognize him.

Just then, Son Goku noticed Jiang Ling's tail, and his face instantly filled with vigilance. "You... you're a Saiyan?"

"You could say that."

Jiang Ling glanced at the conspicuous tail behind him and did not deny it.

"Are you a good guy or a bad guy?"

Son Goku's body tensed, his face wary.

Jiang Ling asked in return, "I was introduced here by Kami. What do you think, am I good or bad?"

"Huh? I guess that's true..."

Son Goku froze for a moment, then relaxed.

His expression turned a little embarrassed. He had not thought of that just now.

Someone introduced by Kami could still be trusted.

North King Kai watched them from the side with a strange expression.

Well now, they were both Saiyans on Earth, and they had even been introduced by Kami, yet they actually did not know each other.

It left him rather speechless.

Earth's interpersonal relationships were so complicated...

But that had nothing to do with him.

Shaking his head and throwing that gossip out of his mind, North King Kai said seriously:

"Jiang Ling, if you want to train here with me, you'll have to tell me a joke that can make me laugh. By the way, I have a very high sense of humor."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling thought for a moment and said:

"Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong agreed to meet at the back mountain. Later, they both got concussions."

Pfft—

"Hahaha... meet... hahahaha!"

North King Kai could not hold it in and clutched his stomach as he burst into loud laughter.

"Meet... haha... con... concussion, hahahaha!"

North King Kai knelt on the ground, frantically slapping the soil, laughing so hard he rolled around on the ground and could not get back up.

"Hahahahahahaha..."

His laughter echoed across all of King Kai's Planet.

Jiang Ling and Son Goku looked at each other, then both scratched their heads in confusion.

Was it really that funny?

Half a day later...

Jiang Ling had completely adapted to the tenfold gravity here. North King Kai had also laughed himself tired and was lying on the ground, twitching now and then.

From the looks of it, he would not be getting up anytime soon.

Jiang Ling stepped forward and patted him.

"King Kai?"

"North King Kai?"

"Lord King Kai?"

"Hehehe..." North King Kai had a foolish grin on his face and said nothing, his eyes vacant...

Jiang Ling shook his head.

He walked straight to the side, sat down, and rested.

In just that short while, Jiang Ling had already checked in on King Kai.

Now he checked the reward the system had given him.
