“Big brother, you don't look like you're from West City. Where are you from?” After escaping the kidnappers, Bulma stood on the street, curious as she faced the tall and handsome Zhou Zilong.
“I came out of a deep mountain. I’ve lived there since I was a child. I’m planning to travel around,” Zhou Zilong said awkwardly. He couldn't possibly tell Bulma that he had transmigrated from another world.
“Oh? A deep mountain? There must be many interesting things there,” Bulma’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. She was full of wonder about this mysterious man from the deep mountains.
“Hmm, there are indeed many interesting things,” Zhou Zilong nodded in agreement.
“I haven’t properly thanked you yet. Can you tell me your name?” Bulma looked at Zhou Zilong gratefully, her voice filled with sincerity.
“My name is Zhou Zilong,” Zhou Zilong replied with a smile.
“Zhou Zilong? That’s a nice name, Zilong big brother. Would you like to come to my house for a bit? I’ll have my dad thank you properly,” Bulma said with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid I might be a bad guy too?” Zhou Zilong retorted, a hint of teasing in his words.
“No fear!” Bulma shook her head firmly. “I trust my instincts; you’re not a bad guy.”
Looking at Bulma’s determined eyes, a warm current surged in Zhou Zilong’s heart. He nodded, deciding to go to her house with Bulma.
Just as Zhou Zilong was accompanying Bulma back to Capsule Corporation, a voice that only Zhou Zilong could hear suddenly rang in his mind: “Congratulations, Host, for coming into contact with a major Dragon Ball character. The Dragon Ball Fantasy System is activated. Would you like to bind with me?”
Zhou Zilong was startled, then realized with surprise that he had actually obtained the legendary system!
Zhou Zilong paused, looked around, but found no one else besides him and Bulma. His heart stirred, and he tentatively replied, “Bind.”
“Host binding confirmed successfully.” The voice rang out again, and then a large array of information appeared in Zhou Zilong’s mind.
【Name】Zhou Zilong
【Race】Pure Earthling
【Vitality】105
【Potential】500
【Potential Development Progress】1%
【Battle Power】5
【Potential Level】Stronger Level Potential
【Mastered Techniques】Advanced Sanda Skills
【Personal Abilities】None
Zhou Zilong’s eyes widened. This information meant that he was no longer an ordinary transmigrator, but possessed a system that could change his destiny.
“System, what can you do?” Zhou Zilong asked curiously.
“This system can help the Host improve strength, unlock more abilities, and become a strong person in the Dragon Ball World,” the system replied.
Zhou Zilong’s heart filled with joy. He knew his chance had come. He was no longer a transmigrator with no background, but had the potential to become a strong person.
“If I keep calling you ‘System,’ it will seem a bit distant between us. How about I call you Xiao Ling from now on? And you don’t have to keep calling me ‘Host’; you can just call me Zilong,” Zhou Zilong said to his system. Xiao Ling was the nickname of a girl he liked before he transmigrated. He felt the system’s voice was somewhat similar to hers, so he decided to call it that.
“Okay, Zilong,” Xiao Ling’s voice sounded a bit cheerful, as if she was also pleased with this new name.
“Then, Xiao Ling, can you explain the information that just appeared in my mind?” Zhou Zilong asked.
“No problem, Zilong.” Xiao Ling began to explain, “Race is like ethnicity. There are too many races in the Dragon Ball World, so I won’t explain them one by one. Vitality represents lifespan; the higher the vitality, the longer one’s lifespan. 1 point of vitality represents one year of lifespan. Potential represents the maximum battle power you can possess. Each point of potential can increase battle power by the corresponding value * 10. Potential development progress represents how much of your abilities you have developed. Potential levels are set by me based on the people inside. They are divided into Mediocre, Normal, Stronger, Elite, King, Epic, Quasi-God, Demigod, God-level, and Super God-level. The higher the potential level, the higher the potential value.”
After listening to Xiao Ling’s explanation, Zhou Zilong couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed: “Is that so? Then I only have Stronger Potential now, and even if fully developed, it’s only five thousand battle power. Doesn’t this mean I’ll just be a bystander after Vegeta and Nappa come to Earth?”
He had originally hoped to possess power as strong as Son Goku, but now it seemed that was still quite far off.
Xiao Ling seemed to sense Zhou Zilong’s disappointment and comforted him: “Zilong, don’t be discouraged. Although your current potential level isn’t high, you still have three chances for potential marrow cleansing. Each cleansing can greatly increase your potential value and potential level. Moreover, I will always be by your side, helping you become a true strong person.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zilong’s hope reignited: “Really? That’s great! Xiao Ling, I will definitely work hard to improve my strength and not let you down!”
Bulma’s home was located in a very prominent spot in West City.
As soon as she walked through the door, she was startled by a sudden figure and almost fell to the ground. A man wearing a white lab coat over a green casual shirt, with a slightly mushroom-shaped haircut, rushed in. His hair was streaked with a bit of gray, he had a large mustache above his mouth, and a small black cat was perched on his back.
“Bulma, I heard you were almost kidnapped. It’s good that you’re alright,” Dr. Brief walked out of the laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his daughter safe and sound.
Bulma nodded, pointing to the man beside her and saying, “I’m fine. It’s all thanks to this Zilong big brother; he saved my life.”
Dr. Brief looked Zhou Zilong up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “Oh? You are the hero who saved my daughter? Thank you so much!”
Zhou Zilong waved his hand and said with a smile, “It’s nothing; I just happened to pass by and saw it. How could I stand by and watch Miss Bulma, who is so smart and cute, get hurt?”
Upon hearing this, Bulma’s face flushed. She secretly glanced at Zhou Zilong, and a ripple stirred in her heart.
Dr. Brief enthusiastically invited Zhou Zilong to stay as a guest, and Zhou Zilong did not decline, following Dr. Brief into the villa. Of course, if possible, Zhou Zilong also wanted to stay and learn a bit about technology. Although the Dragon Ball World is mainly about combat, its technology is still very advanced, especially some mutated technologies, such as the Androids’ technology.
This is a technology that can transform Earthlings into beings with power comparable to that of a Super Saiyan. Zhou Zilong felt that if he understood a bit about technology, it would be easier to deal with the Androids in the future. Of course, his ultimate goal was somewhat hoping for a cultivation plan.
