Dragon Ball: My power level has been maxed out

According to the original plot, the three people, number 17, number 18, and number 16, would take possession of the van.

However, in this world, Number 16 should already be dead; he was blown up before he could even wake up.

At that moment, the two middle-aged men were chatting and drinking coffee at the self-service gas station, holding paper cups in their hands, occasionally laughing, their posture casual and relaxed.

Solo gradually slowed down, and the magnetic levitation sports car silently glided to the side of the gas station.

He leaned out halfway and waved to the two of them.

Hello.

Both of them were slightly taken aback. Holding their coffee cups, they turned their gazes to Solo, then swept over the man and woman sitting in the car, their eyes lingering for a moment on the sleek, silver-white vehicle.

"I never expected to see a maglev car in such a remote place," one of them remarked, tilting his head.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this model of car.” The other person nodded and echoed.

However, when they saw a green-skinned monster chasing after Solo and his companions, their expressions instantly changed.

The coffee cup slipped from my fingers and fell to the ground, spilling coffee everywhere.

"Monster!"

The two were genuinely terrified. Forget about their coffee, they turned and rushed to the van, opened the door, and the engine roared to life.

The van floored the accelerator, its tires screeching through the ground, and sped away, quickly rounding the bend ahead and disappearing into the distance.

"Look at you." Solo turned his head and glared at Cell with annoyance. "You're so ugly that you've scared them all."

Cell hovered in the air, his green face even darker than before, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He clenched his fists at his sides for a moment, then released them, resisting the urge to kill Solo.

Solo, you can keep showing off here for now.

Once I've absorbed enough human life essence, I'm going to torture you properly.

“Zoro is right.” Android 18 also turned to look at Cell, his gaze sweeping over the green face, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “You are indeed quite ugly.”

Number 17 sat in the back row, not saying a word, his gaze fixed on the road, as if he were thinking about something.

“Speaking of Number 17,” Number 18 suddenly said to Number 17, turning his head, “there’s no need to let this guy follow us.”

"Hey, Cell." Android 17 turned around and looked at Cell with a smile, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "What do you mean?"

“That won’t do.” Cell refused decisively, his tail taut behind him. “We are all androids. Whatever we do, we must act together.”

"Crench!"

Solo slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road, his foot slamming down, causing the maglev sports car to pause briefly before coming to a complete stop.

Cell was so angry he gritted his teeth, and with a low exhale from his green throat, he had no choice but to stop.

"Why did you suddenly stop?" Number 18 was taken aback, turned to ask Solo, and lingered on Solo's profile for a moment.

“There’s a self-service coffee machine over there.” Solo pointed to the machine next to the gas station ahead and smiled. “I haven’t had coffee in ages. I’ll go down and get a cup.”

"You really know how to enjoy yourself." Number 18 smiled, her golden hair gleaming in the twilight. "Speaking of which, I haven't had coffee in a long time. Give me one too."

Solo readily agreed, opened the car door, and stepped out.

"I'll have a drink too," Number 17 said to Solo, his voice coming from the back row.

“No problem.” Solo nodded, offering no objection.

After all, if he ends up with No. 18, No. 17 will be his brother-in-law.

I poured my brother-in-law a cup of coffee as a reward.

To receive coffee from a future god, that's quite an honor.

"Cell, what about you?" Solo walked over to the coffee machine, turned his head, and looked at Cell with a smile.

“I don’t drink that stuff,” Cell snorted, his green face full of reluctance.

"So what do you usually eat?" Solo asked with interest, his finger pausing on the button on the coffee machine. "Like Number 19 and the others, do you eat engine oil too?"

Sharu's face darkened even more.

He glared at Solo, ignored him, and looked away.

Solo smiled, looked away, and took the three cups of coffee.

The paper cups were passed from hand to hand, with two of them given to number 17 and number 18.

The two took the coffee and each took a sip.

The car continued to move forward, speeding along the highway.

The silver-white car sped forward into the twilight, the scenery on both sides turning into blurry patches of color.

As Cell got closer to the human town, a slight smile crept onto his lips.

His gaze passed over the roof of the car in front of him and landed on the lights that were gradually coming on in the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

We're finally getting close to a human town.

In this way, I can absorb the essence of human life.

My abilities will improve by leaps and bounds.

……

As darkness fell, the last glimmer of orange-red struggled briefly on the horizon before being swallowed by the deep blue.

Solo's car drove into a town.

The shops on both sides of the street gradually lit up, their signs glowing warmly in the twilight.

There weren't many pedestrians. A few stray cats lay at the base of the wall, glanced at them, and then lazily looked away.

"Hey, Cell." Android 18 turned her head and instructed Cell, "You don't need to follow us for now. We'll contact you after we've booked the rooms."

"Huh? Really?" Cell's pupils contracted slightly, and his whole body paused slightly.

He felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

“You seem quite excited.” Android 17 turned around and looked at Cell with a smile.

"Ah... I mean, it's really not appropriate for me to be around you like this." Cell chuckled awkwardly, leaning back slightly and wagging his tail behind him. "So I'd better be sensible."

He felt increasingly excited.

I was planning to go out and carry out my mission while you were asleep, but you guys actually told me to go alone!

This is fantastic!

Sharu's gaze swept across the houses on both sides of the street, counting the windows that were lit up.

This town isn't large, but it has at least 50,000 people.

Having absorbed the life essence of over 50,000 people, my strength should be roughly the same as Number 18's, right?

Let's play it safe and develop our strength for a while.

"You're quite self-aware." Android 17 chuckled, waved his hand at Cell, and ordered, "You can get lost now."

"Yes," Cell replied respectfully, bowing slightly.

After saying that, Cell no longer hesitated.

His body leaned back and disappeared into the night in an instant, like a drop of ink melting into the darkness and vanishing.

Cell even concealed his aura.

However, Cell did not immediately absorb the life essence of humans.

He hovered high in the air, his body close to the lower edge of the clouds, observing Solo and the others' maglev car from above.

My gaze pierced through the twilight, fixed on the silver-white car.

Cell needs to find out where Solo and the others went.

After all, Cell couldn't sense the presence of the three of them, so if they got lost in the future, it would be quite troublesome to find them.

“It’s quite normal that I can’t sense the presence of Androids 17 and 18,” Cell muttered, tapping his green fingers lightly on his side. “The problem is… Zoro’s presence is really well hidden.”

His gaze lingered on the car for several seconds before shifting to the surrounding streets.

I watched from the air for a while longer.

Solo drove the car to the entrance of a large hotel and slowly stopped.

There is a fountain in front of the hotel, with water droplets dancing under the lights.

The revolving door slowly turned, and the lights in the lobby shone through the glass doors, casting warm spots of light on the steps.

“Let’s spend the night here,” Solo suggested, turning off the engine and gently lowering the car onto the ground.

"This hotel looks pretty high-end." Number 18 looked up at the hotel building, his gaze sweeping over the lit windows.

"It must be the most upscale hotel in this town," Number 17 mused, his gaze lingering on the hotel sign for a moment.

"Number 17, do you have any money on you?" Number 18 suddenly asked, turning his head to look at the back row.

"What do you think?" Number 17 rolled her eyes at Number 18. "How could I possibly have money?"

Then, the two androids looked at Solo together, their gazes lingering on his face.

“Well…” Solo grinned, placing his hands on the steering wheel, “Since we’re all this powerful now, why do we still need to spend money on hotels?”

Number 17 and Number 18 watched Solo silently without saying a word.

Solo pointed to a room on the top floor of the hotel and gestured in that direction.

The window was dark, and the inside was completely black.

“Let’s just fly up there. The room’s lights aren’t on, and I don’t sense anyone inside,” Solo said, offering his opinion. “We’ll just check in. It’s such a small town, and it’s not tourist season, so this hotel probably won’t be full. Keeping the room is a waste.”

Number 17 and Number 18 looked at each other, their eyes meeting briefly in the air before looking away.

The two were speechless for a moment.

They exchanged a glance, and then realized that what Solo said seemed to make sense.

"Since you're not saying anything, that means you don't object." Solo smiled slightly, his fingers resting on the steering wheel, just about to drive off.

At this moment, the hotel staff members at the entrance quickly walked up, dressed in neat uniforms, and bowed slightly to Solo and the others.
