"It tastes good." The man licked the spoon, milk stains on his lips. "Want to try some? Second spoonful is half price!"
Lin Ye's brain instantly went blank. This scene was too surreal—Whis, the messenger of the God of Destruction, one of the top fighters in the Dragon Ball world, was holding up an ice cream cone and asking him if he wanted some? And there was even a "Beerus For" sticky note on the refrigerator?
Uh... strawberry flavored?
"A peach." Weiss smiled and scooped out another spoonful, then suddenly leaned closer, his icy blue pupils reflecting Lin Ye's stiff face. "But you seem to need this more—"
He tapped his scepter lightly, and a box of bandages suddenly appeared at Lin Ye's waist, the packaging of which was printed with the comforting ice cream cone flavor of the Weiss brand.
[Warning! An irresistible energy reaction has been detected]
Suggested option:
1. Kneel down and beg for mercy (Bonus: a signed ice cream cone from Weiss, increasing survival rate to 90%)
2. Turn and run (triggers the "Shame of the Angel" debuff, reducing all attributes by 50%)
3. Play dumb (Weiss's favorability +5, but might be exploited)
"I choose 4—Take the initiative!" Lin Ye roared in his mind, suddenly snatching the ice cream cone from Weiss's hand and taking a big bite.
For the first time, a crack appeared in Weiss's expression.
Hmm! It's really good. Lin Ye licked his lips, but it's too sweet. He suggested putting less sugar in it, since everyone on Earth is controlling their sugar intake these days.
The air suddenly froze. Weiss stared at his half-eaten ice cream cone, then at Lin Ye's self-righteous face, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting! It's been a long time since anyone dared to treat me like this."
He circled Lin Ye three times, then suddenly tapped the ground with his scepter: Boom! A ten-meter-diameter crater appeared where Lin Ye had been standing, its edges still covered with ice cream-shaped blocks of ice. "This is punishment for your rudeness," Weiss said with a smile. "However... I'll allow you to call me Lord Weiss."
Lin Ye rolled three meters away in a disheveled state, his heart pounding in his throat, but he refused to admit defeat: "Lord Weiss, your refrigerator needs defrosting. The freezer compartment is covered in icicles."
"Oh?" Weiss raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, the refrigerator door opened automatically, revealing a mountain of ice cream cones piled up inside. At the very bottom was indeed a huge icicle, with half a half-eaten pudding still frozen inside.
"Pfft!" Dende, the Namekian, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stumbled over, followed by Goku, who had just regained consciousness: "This hero saved us!" Dende said breathlessly, "The Namekians are willing to vouch for him with the Dragon Ball!"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, his golden aura slowly receding: "Although I don't know what happened, count me in! Lin Ye, your fighting style... is quite interesting."
Weiss tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly clapped his hands: Great idea! Let's use Earth's rules then—he pulled out a tablet from somewhere, and the screen clearly showed the LNG interface of "Honor of Kings". Lord Beerus just unlocked a new hero, and you can get the pass by defeating him.
Lin Ye stared at Beerus's "Cai Wenji" skin on the screen, his lips twitching: Isn't he a God of Destruction?
"Can't a god of destruction have a girlish heart?" Whis retorted confidently.

[Remaining time: 23:59:59]
[Special Note: Using the "Spirit of Part-Time Workers" skill can temporarily increase combat power by 50%]
"Sorry, let's do it another day." Lin Ye suddenly said seriously, "My water pipes burst, I have to go back and fix them right away—and 23 of them burst!"
Before anyone could react, he unleashed his full power and soared into the sky, the words "Office Workers Never Work Overtime" on the back of his combat suit standing out prominently in the sunlight. In the system shop, 1250 points were just enough to buy a [Disposable Interstellar Phone] and a [Headphone Immune to Boss's Phrases].
"Hello? Bulma?" Lin Ye shouted the moment the call connected, "I'm Goku's friend! Frieza's dad has brought his men to Earth! Quickly prepare the Dragon Radar, ten Senzu Beans, and—" He suddenly caught Whis waving in the distance, "Give my regards to Prince Vegeta, and tell him that the holes in his battle suit are quite artistic!"
After hanging up the phone, Whis chuckled softly behind him: "Interesting little fellow, Lord Beerus will like you..." He paused, his gaze drifting into the depths of the universe, especially since you and the "candidate for God of Destruction" in the prophecy actually shared the same soul fluctuation.
Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine, and he almost fell from the sky. But the system's red countdown didn't give him time to think. The outline of the Earth was already magnified in his vision, and suddenly, a familiar background music started playing in his ears—the catchy melody of "Working People's Soul".
[Priority mission: Return to Earth alive, and incidentally save the world]
Side Quest: Stay cool in front of Bulma (Reward: Bulma's affection +10)
Lin Ye touched the work badge on his chest, a ruthless smile curling at the corner of his lips. The King of Kurds? Mecha Frieza? Perfect, his KPI for today—to beat up all the trash blocking his way!
Chapter 4: Vegeta's Challenge
As Lin Ye's golden afterimage vanished into the depths of the clouds, Vegeta's nails dug deeply into his palms, his emerald eyes blazing with boundless rage. He recalled the image of that human trampling on Frieza's remains, the ear-piercing sound of the scouter exploding—each scene like a steel needle piercing his proud pride. "Don't think you can ride on my head by sneaking up and luck!" A bluish-white aura suddenly erupted, scorching the Namekian rocks beneath his feet, leaving spiderweb-like black cracks. His tail, like an out-of-control steel whip, lashed the air with a sharp, piercing sound.
Vegeta charged towards the afterimage, his fist scraping the ground and instantly creating a sand wall tens of meters high. Small rocks mixed in with the sandstorm shot out like bullets, leaving the distant hills riddled with holes. "Prince Vegeta!" Dodoria poked his head out of the spaceship, a detector flashing wildly in his hand, the red warning lights almost turning his face bloodshot. "King Cold's fleet has departed and is expected to arrive in 20 minutes..."
"Shut up!" Vegeta didn't even turn his head, unleashing a precise energy wave at the spaceship. Amidst the deafening explosion, Dodoria's ship plummeted into the ground as a fireball, its burning wreckage carving a hundred-meter-long trench. "Before I become the strongest in the universe, no one will stop me!" He wiped the blood from his mouth, a low, trapped growl escaping his throat. "The next time we meet will be your death day! I'll show you that the Saiyan prince's dignity cannot be trampled upon!" Recalling the astronomical numbers on the probe, his fingernails nearly pierced his palms. "How could I possibly lose to an Earthling grunt..."
Meanwhile, at the Earth Temple, a fierce wind whipped against the ancient trees outside, making a mournful sound. Piccolo, arms crossed, veins bulging beneath his green skin with each heartbeat, stared at Goku, his eyes filled with wariness: "Goku, are you sure that human is stronger than you? Does he have some kind of secret weapon?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, a rare seriousness hidden beneath his signature smile. He recalled the golden aura that erupted around Lin Ye on Namek, an aura that made his cells tremble: "I've never truly fought him, but that aura... it was truly terrifying! It was like an inextinguishable flame burning within him." He clenched his fist, the golden aura flickering on it. "However, I will not lose to anyone! No matter who the opponent is, as long as it's for the protection of Earth, I will fight with all my might!"
"Vegeta's energy is detected approaching! The energy intensity is continuously increasing!" Mr. Popo's voice trembled noticeably, and the candles in the temple were instantly extinguished. Everyone turned their heads and saw a meteor-like figure streak across the sky. The enormous impact cracked the ground, and the temple tiles were blown away by the shockwave, swirling in the air and falling one after another. Some even embedded themselves straight into the stone pillars.
Vegeta stood up, the bloodstains on his battle suit already congealed, his eyes burning with vengeful fury: "Kakarot, tell me where that grunt is! He must pay for his arrogance!" His tail slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater.
Goku grinned, his Super Saiyan aura erupting instantly, golden light illuminating the entire temple, even turning the dust in the air golden: "Vegeta, if you want to find him, you'll have to get past me first! Getting him out of my hands won't be so easy!"
Vegeta snorted coldly, his aura surging, and the stone slabs beneath his feet began to crack inch by inch: "Kakarot, don't think you can stop me just because you've become a Super Saiyan! Today, no one will stop me!" He charged towards Goku, leaving deep footprints on the ground with each step, and the force of his fists swirled the ground debris into the sky, forming a small tornado.
Their fists collided with a deafening roar, a powerful shockwave radiating outwards from the point of impact. Fine cracks appeared on the temple's stone pillars, and the roof beams creaked under the strain. Tien Shinhan clenched his fists, leaning slightly forward, ready to provide support at any moment; Chiaotzu nervously rubbed his hands together, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead; the minor deities in the temple fled in panic, knocking over many of the enshrined statues.
"Hah!" Vegeta roared, unleashing a barrage of punches that crisscrossed in the air, each punch carrying enough power to flatten mountains. Goku nimbly dodged, searching for an opportunity to counterattack: "Vegeta, you're still so impatient! You won't win against me like this!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seized Vegeta's opening, delivering a powerful uppercut straight to his opponent's chin.
Vegeta was sent flying backward, but he quickly adjusted his body in mid-air, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "Kakarot, you will regret provoking me! Take this! Big Explosion Attack!" He condensed a huge purple energy ball in front of his chest with both hands. Arcs of electricity constantly moved across the surface of the energy ball, making crackling sounds, and the surrounding air began to distort and deform.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath and thrust his hands forward: "Kamehameha!" The blue energy beam collided with the purple energy ball, erupting in a blinding light, causing the entire temple to shake violently. Piccolo frowned and said to Mr. Popo, "At this rate, the temple will be destroyed sooner or later. We need to think of something!" Mr. Popo shook his head helplessly, his wand spinning unconsciously in his palm: "There's nothing we can do to help them in their fight. We can only hope they decide a winner soon."
Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, Lin Ye was sensing the fluctuations of energy within his body. A system notification exploded in his mind: [A battle between Vegeta and Goku has been detected, with abnormally intense energy fluctuations! A hidden mission exists within the battle's area of effect: Prevent the collapse of the temple. Reward: Kaioken (Permanent Version)! An unknown, mysterious energy has been detected approaching, with attributes completely different from Vegeta and Goku's. Danger Level: SS!]
Lin Ye's lips curled into a smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Vegeta, it seems you're still not giving up. In that case, I'll play along! System, locate them. I need to go back and meet this Saiyan prince! And while I'm at it, see what this mysterious energy is all about!" His golden aura surged once more as he flew rapidly towards the temple, leaving a long golden trail behind him. An even more breathtaking storm was about to sweep in...
Chapter 5: Earth Crisis
Lin Ye's figure tore through the atmosphere like golden lightning, the city below already reduced to inferno. Frieza's army's giant warships blotted out the sky, the roar of energy cannons bombarding the ground was ear-piercing. The streets were littered with burning cars, surviving citizens screamed and hid in the ruins, a mother desperately protecting her baby in her arms, tears mingling with dust and carving deep lines down her face.
"Ding! Enemy force distribution detected—12 elite warriors, 3000+ ordinary soldiers. Ginyu Force energy reaction detected!" The system's sharp notification made Lin Ye's pupils shrink sharply. He abruptly stopped in mid-air, his aura surging into a dazzling golden vortex: "System, consume 2000 points to exchange for instant teleportation!"
"Warning! Insufficient points remaining to redeem!"
"What?!" Lin Ye's pupils shrank, only then remembering that he had exhausted his points when exchanging for skills. A sinister laugh came from below: "Grunts, die!" A purple energy blast whistled towards him, and he barely dodged it, the heat wave brushing against his cheek and singeing the hair at his temples.
"Damn it! We have no choice but to fight!" Lin Ye gritted his teeth, flipping over and crashing into the flagship command room. Recoum's fist grazed his nose, and he grabbed the man's arm, using the momentum to throw him towards the control panel. The metal control panel creaked under the strain, and Recoum's head slammed heavily against the screen, blood mingling with sparks splattering onto the tactical map.
"Is this all the Ginyu Force is capable of?" Lin Ye wiped his mouth, glancing at Geese as he aimed his gun. He leaped into the air, bullets whizzing past his feet, and delivered a backhand elbow strike to the back of Geese's neck. Sabo, with his emerald skin, narrowed his eyes, his tail thrashing wildly across the ground: "Quick! Activate all the turrets!"
Hundreds of energy beams erupted from different warships, converging in the air to form a pillar of death. Lin Ye flipped and leaped out of the window, the energy beam grazing his back as it struck the flagship, the violent explosion sending him flying dozens of meters. He rolled twice in the rubble, then looked up to see a terrified crowd in the street—a little girl, thrown by the blast wave, was rolling towards a burning car.
"Damn it!" Ignoring his aching muscles, Lin Ye lunged forward and hugged the little girl. A wave of scorching heat hit him, and he gritted his teeth, shielding the child with his body, his combat suit sizzling from the intense heat. When he looked up, Sabo's face came into view, the other grinning maliciously, energy gun raised: "Die, you Earth bastard..."
"boom!"
Sabo's words trailed off. He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, the energy gun slipping from his hand. Lin Ye stood up, panting heavily, purple blood still dripping from his fingertips—just now, at the critical moment, he had crushed the other's heart with his bare hands.
"Mommy!" The little girl cried, throwing herself into her mother's arms, leaving the surrounding citizens stunned. An elderly man with white hair knelt down, trembling, saying, "Thank you, God..."
"I am not a god." Lin Ye tore off his tattered combat suit, revealing the words "Office workers never work overtime" printed on the lining. "I'm just a working man—but today, I'm going to let you know that an employee ID card on Earth is more valuable than your dog lives."
He turned to look at the sky; Frieza's army's mothership was gathering energy for its cannon. The system notification sounded again: [Warning! Energy fluctuations detected in King Kurd's personal vehicle! Planetary Disintegration Cannon charging progress 67%!]
"Lin Ye!" A familiar voice rang out. Goku and Vegeta arrived, dragging their wounded bodies. The former's Kamehameha wave still burned on his chest, and the latter's tail was dripping blood. "That's King Cold's ultimate weapon!" Goku shouted. "We can't withstand the second wave!"
"I have to hold on even if I can't." Lin Ye grinned, and his golden aura erupted once more. "System, activate the temporary skill 'Soul of a Part-Time Worker'!"
[Ding! All remaining points consumed to activate "Working Spirit - Overload Operation"! Combat power temporarily increased by 300% for 10 minutes!]
A searing pain, like an electric shock, coursed through Lin Ye's body; he felt every bone in his body shattering. He charged towards the mothership, grabbing a car along the way and smashing it against an enemy turret. With a sickening metallic twisting sound, he seized the edge of the mothership's cannon barrel and twisted it into a pretzel shape.
"What?!" King Kurd jumped to his feet from his throne. "This is impossible! Activate all defenses..."
"Too late." Lin Ye's voice came from inside the mothership. He shattered the energy core with a single punch, and purple energy poured out like a waterfall. By the time he broke out of the ship, King Kurd's mount had already turned into a fireball.
However, the system's alarms continued: [Unknown energy fluctuations detected! Location: Far side of the Moon!]
Lin Ye looked up and saw a dark blue sword light tear through the clouds. A mysterious figure in a black cloak walked through the air, and ice crystals condensed on the energy sword fell down, turning the air into white mist wherever it passed: "Interesting ants... but those who hinder the king's plans should disappear."
"Who are you?!" Vegeta clenched his fist, only to find that his detectors were not responding at all.
The mysterious figure raised his hand and swung his sword. Lin Ye narrowly dodged, leaning back to avoid it, leaving a deep, bottomless crack in the ground. Wiping away cold sweat as he retreated, he suddenly noticed the emblem peeking out from under the figure's cloak—the same blue totem that appeared when the system was activated.
"Answer me!" Lin Ye roared and charged forward, only to be kicked away by the mysterious man. The man's energy sword was pressed against his throat, the icy touch sending chills down his spine.
"Lin Ye!" Goku and Vegeta lunged at him simultaneously. The mysterious figure merely chuckled, his form vanishing in a flash of blue light: "Remember this, you ant. On the chessboard of the universe, you are nothing more than a dispensable pawn..."
The system notification sounded again: [Inter-cosmic interference detected! Mysterious energy source... Error! Data unreadable!]
Lin Ye slumped amidst the ruins, watching the receding blue light. The city's flames reflected in his pupils, and the cheers of the citizens echoed in his ears, yet seemed incredibly distant. He touched the work badge on his chest and suddenly smiled—no matter who the other party was, having come to this world, he was destined to be the protagonist of his own story.
[Mission Complete: Defeat Frieza's army! Rewards: 3000 Evolution Points, Ginyu Force Battle Suit (can be transmogrified)]
[New Mission Triggered: Track the energy fluctuations of a mysterious figure. Reward: Fragment of Cosmic Truth x1]
"Next time, I won't let you get away again," Lin Ye murmured to himself, looking up towards the moon. An even greater storm seemed to be brewing in the depths of space...
Chapter 6: One Against the Entire Army
Amidst the smoke and dust, Lin Ye slowly emerged, stepping over the remains of Frieza's soldiers. Beneath his tattered combat uniform, his bronze skin gleamed with sweat. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his peripheral vision sweeping over the crowd—the remaining soldiers of Frieza's army were trembling as they retreated, their knuckles turning white from gripping their weapons so tightly they were almost blue.
"Who else?" Lin Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer. The system panel flickered on their retina, 5000 evolution points flashing an alluring red light. He suddenly raised an eyebrow, his gaze locking onto a trembling figure in the crowd—Qiu Yi, the guy who had been terrified by him on Namek.
"You...you didn't die on Namek, did you?" Qiu Yi's teeth chattered, his emerald skin covered with a layer of ashen gray. He had witnessed Lin Ye instantly kill Frieza, and now his legs felt like lead. The thought of running away had just surfaced when it was extinguished by fear.
"Surprised?" Lin Ye appeared in front of him instantly, pinching his throat with his thumb and forefinger and lifting him gently. Qiu Yi's feet kicked wildly off the ground, and his throat made gurgling sounds. "Now, tell me, how long until the Kurdish King's fleet arrives?"
"Three...three hours!" Qiu Yi felt like his throat was about to be crushed, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Please spare my life! I'm just a small fry..."
"A nobody?" Lin Ye sneered, casually tossing him towards a distant warship. Qiu Yi tumbled through the air, crashing through the deck and letting out a pig-like scream. Lin Ye clapped his hands and beckoned to the remaining soldiers: "Go back and tell Kurd, no matter how many come, I'll kill them all—and remind him to bring enough coffins."
A chorus of swallowing sounds rose from the crowd. A soldier suddenly turned and fled, only to be tripped by his comrade, causing chaos. Lin Ye looked at their disheveled appearance and suddenly thought of the interns in the office who trembled at the sight of their supervisors. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened. A huge shadow loomed over the ground. Lin Ye looked up and saw a mothership the size of three football fields slowly descending, its metallic surface reflecting a cold light. The moment the hatch opened, a strong smell of machine oil wafted out, and countless combat robots filed out, their red electronic eyes flashing in the sunlight.
"It's the Kurdish King's secret weapon—the Mechanical Legion!" A gasp rang out from the crowd. A mother clutching her child collapsed to her knees, her voice filled with despair: "It's over...it's really all over this time..."
Lin Ye grinned, and golden flames suddenly erupted from his body. He cracked his knuckles as he flexed his wrists: "Perfect timing. System, exchange for 'Saiyan Battle Instinct'!"
[Ding! 3000 Evolution Points consumed, exchange successful! Passive skill acquired: Combat Intuition (Automatically analyzes enemy weaknesses)]
The first robot charged forward, its fist whistling through the air. Lin Ye dodged to the side, his fingertip lightly touching the robot's neck joint—the power core of the mechanical legion. A flash of blue light, and the robot convulsed and collapsed, billowing thick smoke.
"See that?" Lin Ye kicked the second robot away. "Your tin toys are nothing more than moving targets in my eyes." He weaved through the swarm of machines, and wherever he passed, robots exploded into piles of parts. Energy beams grazed his scalp but didn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
"Damn it! Activate the self-destruct sequence!" the commander on the mothership roared as he pressed the button. The ten nearest robots suddenly expanded, flashing red light. Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and swung a piece of car wreckage with a backhand. The metal plate hit the commander precisely on the head, and at the same time, the blast wave sent him flying several meters.
"That's it?" Lin Ye dusted himself off and stood up, looking at the soldiers scurrying away in the distance. "Frieza's army is trash, and the Kurds' toys are nothing special either. Anyone else want to try?"
