"That's great!" Neo nodded in satisfaction and asked again, "How many characters can I bind in total?"
"One! If the bound character dies, you can switch the binding at any time; however, as the character's strength increases, additional binding slots can be added. For example: after binding Son Goku, once you or Son Goku can transform into a Super Saiyan, an extra binding slot will be added. After becoming a god, another slot can be added. There are only three binding slots in total, and no more binding slots will be added thereafter."
"I can switch bindings upon death, my abilities are preserved, extra slots are added after transforming into a Super Saiyan and after becoming a god, and there are three binding slots in total. That's alright, I can accept it." Neo nodded, quite satisfied with the system's binding slots.
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm his excited heart, Neo looked up at the night sky. Stars were twinkling, a bright moon hung high, and the distant mountains undulated, with a round-peaked mountain shaped like a steamed bun vaguely visible standing amidst the clouds and mist of Mount Paozu.
"Mount Paozu… That is where Son Goku lives." Neo's previously calm heart grew a bit excited again: "It's fine too. Since it's night right now, I can go to Son Goku's place to stay for the night and bind him along the way."
Given the current timeline, binding Son Goku is the optimal choice. After all, he is the only Saiyan on Earth, and Neo also knows the Saiyan training methods, which can allow him to grow rapidly.
"System, that up there should be where Son Goku lives, right?"
"Yes, follow the mountain trail all the way up, and you will see the house where Son Goku lives."
Having received the system's reply, Neo no longer hesitated and followed the winding mountain trail all the way up, his shadow being stretched very long by the moonlight.
But as an otaku who stayed at home writing books all year round, Neo's physical strength was really not very good. After climbing for less than ten-odd minutes, he was already panting. Sweat soaked his undershirt, sticking stickily to his back, and as the mountain evening breeze blew, it brought waves of chill.
He had to stop and go, sitting down to rest on a protruding rock every time he walked a certain distance. The occasional beast roars coming from the distant mountain forest made him very nervous; after all, he knew very well that in this Dragon Ball World, dinosaurs could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, this was the foot of the mountain where Son Goku lived, and the fierce beasts nearby had probably already ended up in Son Goku's belly, making it relatively safe after all.
Stopping and resting, Neo spent nearly two hours and finally arrived at the summit of Mount Paozu, seeing that unique house by the moonlight.
Looking at the house in front of him, Neo became somewhat nervous. After all, Son Goku had grown up in these deep mountains with his grandfather Gohan since he was a little child, and had never seen anyone other than his grandfather. If he were treated as a monster and dealt with, that would be too wrongful.
Calming his nervous mood, Neo cautiously came to the door, took a deep breath, organized his words, and gently knocked on the wooden door that looked somewhat aged.
"Who is it?" A childish, curious, yet slightly familiar voice immediately came from inside the house.
"Holy shit! It's actually in Chinese? Could it be that I transmigrated into a translated Dragon Ball World?" Son Goku's voice surprised Neo a bit. It was good that it was Chinese; if it were yamete, he would only be able to understand yamete.
Accompanied by a burst of brisk footsteps, the wooden door let out a 'creak' sound and opened. Son Goku's figure appeared before Neo's eyes under the bright moonlight, looking at him with vigilance and curiosity: "Eh? A human? I thought some monster was knocking on my door! What do you want?"
To Neo's surprise, although Son Goku acted somewhat curious, his attitude was quite friendly and he didn't treat him as a monster. It seemed that he looked the same as his grandfather, so no misunderstanding arose and he was regarded as one of his own kind.
This made Neo let out a sigh of relief. With Son Goku's combat power, if a misunderstanding had arisen, he wouldn't be able to beat him.
Neo subconsciously cast his gaze toward Son Goku's tail, which was furry and gently swaying left and right.
And right at that moment, the system's voice also sounded: "Bindable character discovered: SaiyanSon Goku (Kakarot). Do you want to bind?"
"Bind!" Neo didn't hesitate in the least and directly chose to bind.
"Binding… 1%… 5%… 10%…"
"Damn! It even has a loading bar!" After mentally complaining to himself, Neo hurriedly said to Son Goku: "Hello, my name is Neo. I came to this mountain to cultivate, but before I had time to build a dwelling, it already became dark. I wonder if I can stay over at your place for the night?"
"Ah? Are you also a martial artist? Hello, I am Son Goku. Do you want to spar with me?" As soon as Son Goku heard he was a martial artist, his eyes lit up and his fighting spirit soared instantly. As expected of the warrior-race Saiyan!
Hearing this, Neo secretly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said with a composed expression: "It's getting late now. How about we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Alright! Come in!" Son Goku stepped aside with a happy face.
Neo walked into the house and caught sight of the four-star ball placed on the cabinet at a glance.
His heart began to beat fast uncooperatively again. That was the seven dragon balls! If all seven were gathered, any wish could be granted. Of course, Neo also knew that this so-called "any" actually had limitations; only the super dragon balls could truly be said to be able to grant any wish.
At this moment, Son Goku was suddenly seen walking around Neo in a circle, saying full of curiosity: "Eh? Why don't you have a tail?" As he spoke, he also swung the tail behind him.
Neo smiled and explained: "Ordinary humans don't have tails, regardless of male or female. You must be a special case!" He didn't explicitly state Son Goku's identity as a Saiyan.
"Is that so? My grandpa really doesn't have a tail either, but why do I have one?"
Neo smiled and said: "Everyone looks different. Isn't that completely normal?"
Hoodwinking an innocent Son Goku couldn't be simpler, right?
"That's true." Son Goku nodded, no longer caring about this issue, and instead pointed at the wooden bed nearby, saying: "There is only one bed here, so you can sleep with me!"
Saying this, he climbed straight onto the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in one second.
"What sleeping quality!" Neo watched with an envious face, and was also somewhat speechless at Son Goku's carefree personality. A stranger came to your house, and you fell asleep just like that with peace of mind?
Only Son Goku could pull off something like this.
But Neo was already very tired from climbing the mountain, so he also lay straight on the bed. Drowsiness immediately struck, and just as he was about to fall asleep, the system's voice rang out: "... 100%, character binding successful!"
