Smith watched as John Wick clutched his wife tightly, overwhelmed with emotion. Meanwhile, the members of the Assassin's League stared curiously at Helen, who had just been resurrected, and at the seven Dragon Balls that had scattered and flown away.
At the same time, a shared thought arose among the assassins—if they were ever to fall in battle, could they also be revived through the power of the Dragon Balls?
Unlike the others, Smith Doyle quickly shifted his focus to the system space.
The previously grayed-out three wish lotteries had lit up again. Without hesitation, Smith Doyle opened the "Character Wish Lottery" first.
Inside the lottery menu, he glanced up at the meteors hanging overhead. He immediately noticed some changes compared to the first time he had drawn: now visible were characters like Young Goku, Young Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, Mercenary Tao, Master Shen, Nam, and even the aged Demon King Piccolo. Deep within the meteors, he could even faintly see a glowing orb containing Adult Goku.
Smith Doyle's eyes lit up. Among these choices, Goku and Demon King Piccolo had the most potential—one carried Saiyan blood, the other Namekian.
Although it was hard to judge exactly how strong the "Young Goku" here was, the "Kame" kanji on Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha's martial arts uniforms suggested they were at least decently powerful. Of course, if he were unlucky enough to draw Nam, it would be a waste—Sky Cross Fist wouldn't be of much help in the battles ahead.
After surveying the available options, Smith Doyle didn't hesitate any longer. He initiated the lottery.
A character performed a Kamehameha upward at the meteor cluster, BOOM, shattering a glowing orb.
Congratulations, Smith Doyle has obtained: Young Goku Character Card!
A card appeared in front of him, depicting Young Goku wearing the Turtle School uniform, the Power Pole strapped to his back, mid-Kamehameha pose, standing atop the Flying Nimbus.
Skills: Kamehameha, Turtle School Martial Arts
Using this card grants the user Saiyan bloodline and Goku's abilities.
Seeing this result, Smith Doyle was ecstatic.
Apart from not drawing the hidden Adult Goku, he had pretty much scored the best prize. Even Demon King Piccolo paled in comparison.
While it was still unclear exactly how strong this Young Goku was, judging by his outfit, he was likely from the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament era—around 180 battle power—or possibly the climactic battle against King Piccolo, around 260 battle power.
Either way, it was an enormous power boost for Smith Doyle.
More importantly, it finally solved the "potential growth" issue—Yamcha had boosted his strength before, but not his potential, and he hadn't learned "Ki" control.
Now, with Saiyan bloodline unlocked, Smith Doyle finally had a clear path for rapid growth.
With the character draw complete, Smith Doyle moved to the "Item Wish Lottery."
Upon opening it, he looked up at the meteors again—this time the glowing orbs contained items like:
Senzu Beans (single/bag/jar), Saiyan Pods, Namekian Spaceships, Frieza Force Battleships, Super Holy Water, Combat Suits (1st and 2nd Gen), Healing Chambers, Gravity Chambers, Capsule Corp Capsules, Scouters... and even Bulma's future Time Machine.
There were so many items, densely packed, even variations by generation.
Smith Doyle's eyes gleamed with desire—but he could only pick one.
He prayed he wouldn't get a Capsule—it was the least useful to him.
He fired a Kamehameha upwards again, BOOM, and shattered another orb.
Congratulations, Smith Doyle has obtained: Healing Chamber!
Upon seeing the result, Smith Doyle was thrilled.
A Healing Chamber paired with Saiyan blood? A perfect combo!
As for Gravity Chambers—he believed, with Marvel Universe technology around, he could get one eventually by simply paying the right people.
After two incredibly lucky draws, Smith Doyle opened the "Partner Wish Lottery."
Again, he looked up, hoping to glimpse deeper, rarer characters.
The list included: Turtle, Upa, Bulla, Oolong, Puar, King of the World, Android 8, Pilaf, Dende, Korin...
He even spotted Bulma, Babidi, and the Supreme Kai—though he couldn't see the deeper orbs clearly.
Smith Doyle was surprised to see names like Supreme Kai and Babidi here, but quickly shook off any ambitions—at his current power level, those figures were far beyond his reach.
He activated the lottery.
Another Kamehameha shot upward, BOOM, and a new card appeared:
Congratulations, Smith Doyle has obtained: Support-Type Partner Bulma!
Smith Doyle's eyes widened.
This... was a jackpot!
Having a scientific genius like Bulma meant he was set.
Gravity Chambers? No problem. Dragon Radar? Easy. Capsules? Invented.
At that moment, Smith Doyle was overwhelmed with excitement.
After finishing all three lotteries, Smith Doyle didn't immediately activate anything.
Instead, he opened his eyes and waved his hand.
"Return to base!"

Assassins League Headquarters
Back at the textile factory, Smith Doyle quickly issued some instructions, then disappeared into the training room.
Once inside, he dived into the system space, pulling out the Young Goku Character Card.
A thought popped into his mind:
"If I use this, will I grow a Saiyan tail?"
The idea thrilled him.
After all, a Saiyan tail could lead to Great Ape transformations—ten times battle power—and eventually Super Saiyan 4.
"Use!" he commanded.
The card dissolved into specks of light, merging into his body.
Immediately, his energy skyrocketed.
Pure Saiyan blood now flowed through his veins, and a tail sprouted from his lower back, tearing through his pants and curling neatly around his waist like a special belt.
Meanwhile, the scouter on his eye showed his battle power skyrocketing:
9... 30... 90... 150... and finally stabilizing at 189.
Smith Doyle was momentarily stunned.
Looks like he had obtained Goku from after the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, and his original battle power had stacked on top.
