Synopsis
He transmigrated into the Dragon Ball world and became Gohan, awakening a unique training system. By simply doing push-ups, his strength increased. And the stronger Gohan became, the more push-ups he did. (The system’s bonuses are only supplementary and do not replace Gohan’s own hard-earned training and growth.) “Ding! Congratulations, Master—you’ve completed one push-up! Combat power +1!” “Ding! Congratulations, Master—you completed a push-up in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber! Combat power +10!” “Ding! Congratulations, Master—you’ve taken one step! Combat power +1!” “Ding! Congratulations, Master—you completed a push-up! Combat power +10!” … Beerus: “Damn it! How did Gohan train? He’s even stronger than me!” Gohan: “It’s nothing, really. I just do push-ups every day.” ...... Author’s Note Hello, readers! Welcome to my second Webnovel account.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Transmigration

Dragon Ball World

Age 762

On a small mountain peak on Earth, a young boy stood quietly.

He wore an orange martial arts uniform, with a long sword strapped across his back. His gaze was fixed on the vast sky above, his expression blank and distant.

This boy was none other than Gohan, the son of Goku.

However, this was not the Gohan from the original story.

He was a transmigrator.

Just a few minutes ago, Su Xuan had still been stuck working overtime at his company, typing code nonstop. As he was about to finish, his vision suddenly went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in this world—reborn as the five-year-old Gohan.

The current time was half a year after Goku and Raditz had died together.

Which meant that in another half year, Vegeta and the other Saiyans would arrive on Earth.

At that thought, Gohan's expression grew serious.

Just then, a cold, synthesized electronic voice echoed in his ears.

"Ding! Host bloodline confirmed. Initiating binding now!"

Gohan froze for a moment.

Then his eyes widened.

"System!"

He blurted it out instinctively, snapping out of his daze.

A translucent blue progress bar immediately appeared before his eyes. The percentage climbed rapidly, reaching 90% in only a few seconds.

Soon after, it hit 100%.

"Cultivation System binding complete. Master, you can now increase your combat power by one point for every push-up you complete!"

"One push-up increases combat power by one point?"

Gohan was stunned.

This sounded suspiciously similar to Saitama's training method from One-Punch Man.

"Yes, Master!"

"Then… if I train like that, I won't go bald, right?"

"What nonsense is that, Master? I am a conscientious system!"

"Conscientious?"

Bad people usually say they're good. Truly good ones don't need to say it out loud.

"Forget it. Staying alive is the priority. Worst case, I'll just wear a wig!"

"Master, you don't trust me!"

The system's voice suddenly sounded offended.

"I trust you! I really do!"

"Liar!"

Seeing how childish the system was, Gohan couldn't help teasing it.

"System, you're not a girl, are you?"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey! This system is a dignified man!"

"Alright, alright—a dignified man. Then tell me, don't systems usually come with a beginner's gift package?"

"You said other systems. So of course I don't have one!"

"…"

Gohan was speechless.

You don't have one, yet you're still so smug?

"Master, happiness comes from effort. Although I don't have a beginner's gift package, once your strength reaches a certain level, the system will reward you with an upgrade gift!"

"How big is it?"

"As big as you can see!"

"…"

Speechless. Again.

"System, do you think you're funny?"

"Not really. Just average. Third funniest in the world."

Gohan stopped arguing.

"Then tell me—do I only get stronger by doing push-ups?"

"Of course not. Sit-ups, running, squats, pull-ups—all forms of exercise can enhance your physique!"

"Moreover, the system is only an auxiliary enhancement."

"Auxiliary?"

"Yes. Simply put, Master already possesses a powerful Saiyan bloodline. Even without me, you could grow stronger through training."

"I merely accelerate your growth, allowing you to improve faster—and have more time for vacation!"

"Vacation?!"

Hearing that word, Gohan suddenly felt the system was surprisingly considerate.

Still… wouldn't it be better if he could get stronger without training at all?

Humans really are never satisfied.

"Then from now on," Gohan thought quietly, "I am Gohan."

Without hesitation, he dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups on the cliff.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. One push-up completed. Combat power +1!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Master. Two push-ups completed. Combat power +2!"

"…"

"System, can you stop announcing everything?"

Gohan said irritably.

"Okay, Master."

Silence followed.

Finally, some peace.

"10… 11… 12…"

Gohan counted silently as he continued.

At first, the push-ups were exhausting. But the more he did, the lighter his body felt. Sweat poured down relentlessly under the scorching sun.

Before he realized it, noon had arrived, and his stomach growled loudly.

In a single morning, Gohan had completed over ten thousand push-ups.

And that was only because he'd started slowly. At his current pace, it wouldn't even take two hours.

"I should be stronger than Goku by now… right?"

Muttering to himself, Gohan leapt down from the mountain peak.

As soon as he landed, he began searching for food.

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Gohan turned around and saw a massive yellow-brown dinosaur charging toward him. A large scar marked its face, and most of its tail was missing.

That tail had been cut off by Gohan himself.

Back when he was weaker, the dinosaur had chased him as prey. Later, every time they met, Gohan would cut off a piece of its tail for food.

A creature that remembered food—but not pain.

"It's you again, big dinosaur."

Seeing food deliver itself, Gohan smiled.

He drew the sword from his back and waited calmly.

Whoosh!

As the dinosaur approached, Gohan suddenly leapt into the air, landing behind it.

Before it could react, he swung his sword down with both hands.

Slash!

The dinosaur's tail was severed instantly.

"ROAAAR!"

Howling in pain, the dinosaur charged forward uncontrollably, crashing into a mountain and knocking itself unconscious.

"Thanks for the meal."

Gohan gathered some firewood, lit a fire, and skewered the meat with his sword.

Once it was fully roasted, he dug in without hesitation.

"So hot!"

"Mmm—delicious! I never imagined dinosaur meat would be this tender!"

In his previous life, dinosaurs were long extinct.

If he hadn't transmigrated to the Dragon Ball world, he would never have had the chance to eat something like this.
