When Lin Chen first learned that he had received the Choice System, he was overjoyed.
The standard cheat for transmigrators-I got one too!
But after seeing the three choices the system offered, Lin Chen, who knew the story inside out, went pale.
Fuck!
What kind of choices were these?
Each one was more insane than the last!
Never mind the monstrous Frieza. Could I possibly deal with a Supreme Kai or a God of Destruction when my power level wasn't even ten thousand?
Other people got beginner gift packs when they received their systems. Why did mine throw a hell-difficulty mission at me right from the start?
Wasn't this a complete screwjob?
Lin Chen immediately wanted to refuse to choose, but the system countered, "The mission cannot be abandoned. You must select one option and complete it before Planet Vegeta is destroyed, or the host will be erased!"
Faced with the system's blatant threat, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and selected the first option without hesitation.
Of Frieza, a Supreme Kai, and a God of Destruction, Frieza was the only one whom Lin Chen, still just an ordinary Low-Class Warrior, had even a theoretical chance of defeating!
Besides, opportunity often came with risk. If he successfully completed this mission, his future would be incredibly bright.
The Dragon Ball world was full of dangers. Even becoming a Super Saiyan might not guarantee his survival. But if he could obtain the legendary Saiyan bloodline, then judging by the power legendary Saiyans displayed in the original story, he should be able to weather whatever crises awaited him.
After that, Lin Chen devoted four full years to preparation, all so he could defeat Frieza before he moved to destroy Planet Vegeta!
Thanks to the system's hints, Lin Chen had already pinpointed the exact date of his arrival: Age 733, four years before Planet Vegeta's destruction.
Lin Chen had little time left. And since Kakarot had yet to be born and the Saiyan Prince Vegeta was only a year old, finding allies was difficult. Taking on Frieza was an almost impossible mission!
But after carefully analyzing the story, Lin Chen found a sliver of hope for achieving his goal. To do so, however, he needed a power level of at least sixty thousand-and the support of every Saiyan!
To pursue that goal, Lin Chen deserted while away on a mission and began wandering the universe alone.
In the first year, Lin Chen tried to raise his power level through training.
The body he had transmigrated into had a power level of only two thousand, the most common level among the Saiyans' lowest-ranking warriors.
Although his body was only fourteen years old and still had room to grow, his prospects were dim.
That year, despite enduring countless hardships, Lin Chen only managed to raise his power level to ten thousand, still worlds away from his target of at least sixty thousand.
So in the second year, Lin Chen changed his approach.
He had to admit that his body lacked the talent of Kakarot or Vegeta. Reaching a power level of sixty thousand within the remaining three years would be extremely difficult!
During that second year, Lin Chen spent an entire year searching the universe for information on Planet Namek's whereabouts!
Under the circumstances, going to Planet Namek was the only way Lin Chen could think of to rapidly increase his strength!
He did not intend to wish for greater power with the Dragon Balls. That simply would not work; even the wish-granting dragon had limits to its abilities.
Besides, with his strength at the time, Lin Chen had no chance of conquering Planet Namek while Nail protected it.
His real goal was to reach an agreement with the Grand Elder and have him unlock his potential.
Planet Namek's Grand Elder possessed the special ability to unlock a person's potential. In the original story, Krillin and Gohan, whose power levels had only been around one or two thousand, became ten times stronger after his guidance!
If Lin Chen could receive the Grand Elder's help too, he could easily achieve his goal!
Once he found Planet Namek, Lin Chen immediately traveled there and spent another year on that planet.
As a Saiyan, a race infamous throughout the universe for its brutality, Lin Chen did not have an easy path to meeting the Grand Elder.
At first, when the Namekians saw that he was a Saiyan, they assumed he had come to attack their planet and struck without a word.
Even after Lin Chen explained his intentions, the Namekians still did not fully believe him.
They told him that if he wanted to meet the Grand Elder, he would have to accept their challenges.
So Lin Chen spent another year on Planet Namek, passing the Namekians' many tests of wisdom, courage, and combat strength. Only then did he finally meet the Grand Elder and reach a special agreement with him.
As part of their agreement, the Grand Elder fully unlocked Lin Chen's combat potential, finally giving him his current power level of over one hundred and ten thousand!
In four years, he had grown from a low-ranking warrior into a Saiyan with a power level of one hundred and ten thousand. The hardships involved were easy to imagine, but those four years of toil had all been worth it.
Seated on the throne, Lin Chen finished recalling the past four years and raised his head. He addressed the crowd before him, who were still stunned. "Everyone, I know some of you may still refuse to accept me. But according to tradition, as the newly crowned king, I have one week to rest. If you want to challenge me, you must wait until that week is over."
"After that week, if I lose, you may depose me or kill me. But until then, I will absolutely not allow anyone to do as they please!"
"The orders I am about to give may seem strange! But you must obey them!"
"First! What happened today must remain known only to us Saiyans. Under no circumstances may you tell Frieza that the Saiyans have a new king!"
"Second, all you mid-class warriors present must act immediately. Kill every one of Frieza's subordinates on Planet Vegeta, leaving only the communications personnel alive to send false reports to the Frieza Force saying that everything is fine! Not a word of our actions over the next few days must leak out!"
"L-Linx..."
Below the throne, King Vegeta had regained consciousness. Lying on the floor, he stared at Lin Chen in shock. "Y-you... what exactly are you trying to do?"
Lin Chen glanced at King Vegeta and said, "What am I trying to do? I'm going to lead all the Saiyans in a rebellion against Frieza!"
The Saiyans below froze at his words.
Rebel against Frieza?
Rebel against the emperor who held the universe in his grip?
Had Lin Chen gone mad?
Though they were full of doubt about Lin Chen's words...
The king's orders could not be defied!
That day, Lin Chen's secret plan for a Saiyan rebellion began!
