…
Zeltron's mind kept ringing with the mechanical system prompts.
At this moment, inside the mechanized arena in front of Zeltron, a very fierce battle was unfolding.
Dozens of Saibamen were taking turns attacking a human boy.
Although the boy was only four or five years old, his combat effectiveness was impressive.
The dozens of Saibamen, whether launching surprise attacks or joint assaults, were all effortlessly repelled by the boy.
You see, the Saibamen had a total power level of around 1,200 points.
If this power level existed on Earth, apart from the Z Fighters, even the Gods can defeat them in seconds.
As the intense battle continued, power level attributes dropped continuously onto the ground of the mechanized arena. The scene looked like a truck dumping a massive amount of coins — very spectacular.
After the boy eliminated all the Saibamen, the arena floor was covered with layers of glowing combat power attributes.
Of course, these attributes were invisible to both the Saibamen and the human boy; only Zeltron could see them clearly.
Soon, these combat power attributes resembled golden glowing scripts, linking together and merging into Zeltron's body.
This process lasted for several moments.
...
Zeltron is not from this world — he is a traveler from another universe.
24 years ago, in the year when Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Zeltron arrived in the Dragon Ball world and was reborn as a newborn Saiyan baby.
At first, Zeltron was not very happy knowing he was a Saiyan.
He knew that soon, Frieza would destroy Planet Vegeta.
Fortunately, Zeltron's initial combat power was only 5, and he was sent to Red Mountain Star and Earth alongside Kakarot, who had a combat power of only 2.
By this coincidence, Zeltron escaped the destruction.
Though born a baby, Zeltron retained the memories and thoughts from his previous life.
He did not adopt the typical aggressive Saiyan mentality and instead got along peacefully with the original inhabitants of Red Mountain Star.
When he was 4 years old, his "golden finger" — the system — activated.
It was a system called "Attribute Picking System."
Whenever someone fought, power level attributes dropped at the battlefield. The system absorbed these attributes, allowing Zeltron to increase his own power level.
The amount of attributes dropped depended on the power level of the combatants — the stronger the fighter, the more attributes dropped.
The natives of Red Mountain Star generally had low power level, only around a hundred or two hundred.
Therefore, the attribute dropped from their fights was usually just 0.1 or 0.2 points.
Though small, it was better than nothing.
Zeltron could increase his fighting strength without exhausting training.
Accumulated over time, even these small increments added up: 10,000 battles × 0.1 points meant an increase of 1,000 points.
On Red Mountain Star, whenever fierce battles broke out, Zeltron would appear — mainly to collect the dropped attributes.
A few years later, thanks to Attribute Scavenging, Zeltron's power level increased from dozens to over 5,000.
While a combat power of 5,000 was not much compared to powerful warriors like Frieza, it was enough for Zeltron to defend himself.
Looking up at the vast sky, Zeltron set his sights on the universe.
Battles on Red Mountain Star were no longer satisfying; the attribute drops were too small and too slow.
Battles at Frieza's level could drop tens of thousands of combat power attributes with a single hit.
Of course, Zeltron knew it was suicide to appear before Frieza with only 5,000 combat power — Frieza's hatred for Saiyans was well-known.
After leaving Red Mountain Star, Zeltron hunted combat power attributes all across the universe.
After almost 10 years of scavenging, his combat power soared from 5,000 to several million.
Because universal fighters often had combat power in the tens of thousands or higher, the attribute drops from their battles grew from 10 points to dozens per fight.
Zeltron was thrilled.
To avoid running endlessly to find fights, Zeltron found a group of Universe warriors and had them battle in front of him — then he would lie down and collect their combat power attributes.
Just like the saibamen and the human boy battling inside the arena: both were Zeltron's hired actors.
The results were obvious: Zeltron's combat power increased dramatically in seconds.
Within a few years, his power level rose from a few million to over 40 million.
A Saiyan with over 40 million combat power was fully qualified to transform into a Super Saiyan.
But unfortunately, Zeltron tried many methods but failed to transform.
Saiyans need enough S-cells plus emotional stimuli like intense anger to trigger Super Saiyan transformation.
Zeltron suspected that his body lacked sufficient S-cells.
But he wasn't worried. He planned to wait until Goku and Vegeta became Super Saiyans, then absorb their S-cell attributes.
After absorbing all the combat power attributes accumulated in the arena, Zeltron felt his power rise from 41.33 million to 41.35 million.
"Just an increase of over 20,000?" Zeltron clenched his fist, feeling that the increase was not significant enough.
He was dissatisfied.
If Piccolo heard Zeltron's complaint, he would probably spit blood in anger.
Piccolo had cultivated for years and increased his combat power by only a thousand; Zeltron, doing nothing but lying down, casually increased by more than 20,000.
"Host, you're really cunning, using this method to boost your combat power!"
At this moment, the system's electronic voice echoed in Zeltron's mind.
Even the system couldn't get used to Zeltron's cheating method of rapidly increasing combat power.
The original purpose of the system was for Zeltron to find battles to collect attributes.
But now, Zeltron invited actors to fight for him and collected their combat power while resting.
"Hehe, I'm just making full use of the system's advantages!"
