" Yes! "
" Limit Boost! "
Lin Xuan didn't hesitate to make his choice in his mind, and soon the system's voice echoed: " Beginning consumption of reputation points to perform a Limit Boost on the target. "
Immediately, a progress bar appeared before him, displaying the words " Boost Progress. "
"0%... 1%... 2%... 3%... "
The progress bar was increasing rapidly, but at that moment, Lin Xuan's face gradually turned green.
Because he saw that as the boost progress increased, his reputation points were plummeting. For roughly every 10% increase in progress, nearly one hundred million reputation points were consumed.
Nearly one billion reputation points?
In other words, if he wanted to raise Uchiha Madara's potential limit to one hundred percent of the current world's standard, it would cost him that much.
At that moment, he chose to take back what he'd just said.
Damn it, this feature was a scam!
" System, come out! Are you deliberately creating this feature to drain my reputation points just because you saw I've been earning a lot lately?
" Lin Xuan cursed inwardly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Lin Xuan cursed, the system gave no response.
After all, this system could only answer Lin Xuan's questions about its functions; it wasn't truly humanized, nor did it have any emotions. It was more like a pre-programmed set of instructions.
In the blink of an eye, the boost progress reached one hundred percent and was complete. Staring at the account balance that had just lost one billion reputation points, Lin Xuan felt a pang in his liver.
Too expensive!
In such a short time, all the reputation points he'd painstakingly earned by showing off were gone—one billion points vanished in an instant. It cost even more than upgrading the Super Dimensional Impure World Reincarnation skill!
To say he wasn't heartbroken would be a lie.
The key issue was that this was just for Uchiha Madara alone. If he were to boost everyone else—like Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, and the rest—wouldn't that bankrupt him?
Just thinking about it made Lin Xuan want to spit blood. This feature was nothing but a bottomless pit!
But he had no choice. He could only prioritize boosting the more important individuals, like Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, Nagato Uzumaki, and Tobirama Senju.
As for the others, he'd deal with them later when he'd earned more reputation points.
At that moment, Lin Xuan was also closely observing Uchiha Madara, watching for any reaction or change after boosting his potential.
But all Madara did was furrow his brow slightly, as if feeling some discomfort in his body. He shrugged his shoulders, and then... nothing.
The key point was that there didn't seem to be any change at all.
Lin Xuan was a bit dumbfounded. He'd spent nearly one billion reputation points just to make Madara shrug his shoulders?
Now Lin Xuan was getting anxious. He walked over to Madara, thought for a moment, and asked, " Madara, how do you feel right now?
"
At this point, Madara had already reverted to his Impure World Reincarnation body. The body of Ginyu had been severely injured in the previous battle, so after Lin Xuan returned to Namek, Madara had simply abandoned that physical form and had Lin Xuan reincarnate him through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Madara gave him a puzzled look, then suddenly recalled Lin Xuan's earlier battle. Snorting coldly, he said, " Hmph, I'll surpass you soon enough.
"
Then, he turned and walked away without another word.
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. Couldn't this guy just talk normally? With that arrogant attitude, he really wanted to give him a good beating.
But he understood Madara well enough. It seemed there really hadn't been any major change—just some discomfort during the process that had already faded.
Thinking it over, Lin Xuan began boosting Hashirama Senju next.
Compared to Madara, Hashirama's reaction was much more pronounced. He started scratching himself uncomfortably all over, as if his body were terribly itchy.
Soon, the boost was complete, and another nearly one billion reputation points were gone. Clearly, his potential was on par with Madara's.
But in the end, Hashirama only felt a bit itchy. Aside from that, there was no other change whatsoever.
Lin Xuan even had a detailed conversation with him, ultimately confirming that Hashirama truly didn't feel any difference.
Damn, did I get scammed?
But then again, aside from consuming a lot of reputation points, the system's functions had never really cheated him before.
Thinking about it, this feature was meant to boost the potential of Impure World Reincarnation targets.
Potential, by its very nature, was something invisible and intangible. Even if it were greatly enhanced all at once, it was perfectly normal for the person themselves to feel no change or sensation!
With that thought, Lin Xuan stopped dwelling on the issue. He went ahead and boosted the potential of Obito Uchiha, Nagato Uzumaki, Tobirama Senju, and Izuna Uchiha as well.
In an instant, Lin Xuan had lost several billion reputation points.
He couldn't help but think to himself, " These reputation points are disappearing way too fast. Looks like I need to put that trip to King Kai's planet on the schedule!
"
Just then, Son Goku walked over to Lin Xuan and asked, " President Lin Xuan, would it be alright if I talked to you about something? "
Lin Xuan glanced at him and immediately guessed what he wanted to discuss. It was undoubtedly about Super Saiyans.
Earlier, Goku had learned from Raditz that he was very likely a Saiyan himself, so it was only natural for him to be curious about how to become a Super Saiyan.
Lin Xuan didn't refuse, nor did he hide anything. He quickly told Goku everything he knew about Super Saiyans.
As for what happened next, that was something Goku would have to figure out on his own.
Still, Lin Xuan believed that Goku would probably find the trick soon enough and successfully transform into a Super Saiyan.
If worst came to worst, Lin Xuan could always give him a hand.
Of course, he wasn't about to kill Krillin right in front of Goku. Instead, he planned to have Whis and Vegapunk research a way to create a suitable training environment for him.
