Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 26 Traveling Again
With Broly's return, good times have come to Wampa.

The food was so delicious that Paragas ate it with tears in his eyes.

"Damn you Wampa spider, never show up in my recipes again!"

Paragus was so excited that he even threw the spider he had hunted with great effort into the distant sky.

The happy days passed quickly, and soon more than half a month had passed.

After Broly discovered that he only had 20,000 happiness points left, Paragus realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Broly, how long will it take before you can go to another world to find a wife?"

Paragas asked as he sipped his happy water.

"According to the Crystal Palace, it will take five years to collect the space-time energy."

Broly answered truthfully.

"Five years. Isn't there a better way?"

"Yes, I can speed up the process of collecting energy by charging while moving. Every time I travel a distance of one light year, the space-time energy can increase by one year. This is what the Crystal Palace said."

"A light year?"

Hearing this, Paragas was stunned.

“Can I ride in a spaceship?”

he asks.

"No, you have to use your body to directly contact the changing space outside."

Broly replied.

Paragas was speechless. It was only because they didn't have a spaceship, otherwise they would be even more disappointed.

"Father, is one light year very far?"

Broly asked, he could also feel the speed at which his happiness points were decreasing.

The Saiyans' appetite far exceeds that of normal humans. Even if the points used to exchange for food are not many, it is still enough to withstand the unlimited consumption of two Saiyans.

"One light year is a long way. If you run without a spaceship and only rely on your body, no Saiyan can travel such a long distance in his lifetime."

The most powerful Saiyan Paragus knows is King Vegeta, but can King Vegeta move a distance of one light year relying solely on his body?

Obviously, it is impossible. Although they are Saiyans, they are also human beings, and as human beings, there are limits.

Faced with a distance measured in light years, even though they are Saiyans, they are extremely small.

"Crystal Palace said that this function can be upgraded with happiness points, and each upgrade will halve the distance required to move and recharge."

Because of Paragus's words, the Crystal Palace gave an interpretation of the module "Moving can accelerate the charging of space-time energy", and Broly also said it according to the information that emerged in his mind.

"Hey, it can be halved?!"

Paragus was delighted, but then he calmed down when he remembered that the original distance was light years.

"It's useless. Cutting it in half is still a long way off."

“After halving, it can be upgraded again, and after upgrading, it can be halved again.”

Broly continued.

“Ah, is this the halving method?”

Paragas stroked his chin and asked, "So how do you calculate the points for leveling up?"

"The first time is 1 happiness point, the second time is 10, the third time is 100, the fourth time..."

"10 to the N-1th power? Your current happiness points can only be upgraded five times at most, which means that the distance of one light year is reduced to one sixteenth of the distance. It doesn't sound so far-fetched anymore, but it's still a terrifying distance."

Paragus thought for a moment, then said to his son, "Broly, upgrade this function. If we cannot leave Vampa in the future, your Crystal Palace is our hope for a happy life on Vampa. The sooner this function is upgraded, the greater the benefits."

Broly's math ability was not very good, but he felt that running a shorter distance would speed up the collection of space-time energy, which was definitely a correct thing. So he followed Paragus's advice and consumed half of his remaining 20,000 happiness points to upgrade the Crystal Palace's [Mobile Charging] function.

[Mobile Charging]: Run, host, time flies. When your speed is fast enough, you will be able to catch up with time.

[Currently, every sixteenth of a light-year of distance traveled can charge the space-time energy tank with one year's worth of space-time energy. The current energy collection progress is 0/5 (Note, it is not necessary to travel a sixteenth of a light-year to complete the calculation. As long as you physically move in space, you can accelerate the absorption of space-time energy.)]

"Tomorrow, I'll get some Baya blood. You can use the Baya blood and the Wampa spider to exchange for spider eggs."

Paragas suddenly said.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This is the current situation, and they, father and son, have to change their current overly luxurious life of eating normal food in large mouthfuls.

"Of course, you can eat the food you exchanged from now on."

Paragas added that he was a little afraid of his son's temper.

"Let's eat together."

However, Broly did not lose his temper. He finished half of the pork chop rice in his hand and handed the lunch box to Paragus.

"I'm going to recharge."

After saying this, the boy ran out and flew towards the distant sky.

Inside the cave, Paragas felt touched as he looked at the half-eaten rice box left by his son.

He felt a bit complicated, the family ties among Saiyans were not actually solid, barbarism, selfishness, and snatching of spoils were common, and sharing good things was a rare occurrence, even among family members.

Paragus suddenly felt fortunate that his son had been a thoughtful person since he was young, and did not become a normal Saiyan child just because he received his traditional Saiyan education when he was younger.

Paragas, the traditional Saiyan father, felt the so-called family love at this moment. He almost beat his son to death two years ago, but now it doesn't seem so scary.

. . . .

On the planet Vampa, as long as there is no sandstorm, you can see a very beautiful and clean night sky. The starlight is not blocked in any way and is scattered freely on this desolate planet. In such a beautiful night scene, Broly moves his distance with his explosive energy.

He didn't know how long he had been flying. After gradually feeling tired and hungry, he stopped on a mountain to rest. Just at this moment, a blue track passed across the sky curtain at dawn. The spaceship carrying the Saiyan child named Kakarot passed by the planet Vampa and headed towards the Earth of this world.

In the following days, Broly lived a simple daily life of trading spider eggs, moving to recharge after eating and drinking, and returning to the cave to rest when he was tired.

The taste of the Wampa spider eggs was as bad as ever, and occasionally exchanging them for normal food and sharing them with his father became what Broly looked forward to most.

As for why he didn't eat alone, Broly didn't think about it carefully, he just felt that it was the right thing to do.

Just like when he went to the Type-Moon world and encountered food that his wife was willing to give him, he was also happy to share food with people around him.

. . . .

Time soon came to the year 739 of the Age of Ages. At the edge of the atmosphere of the planet Vampa, there was a green figure flying around the entire planet. The speed of this figure was extremely terrifying. In a short period of time, it circled the planet again and again.

[The space-time energy is full, do you want to travel now? 】

As the Crystal Palace, which had been silent for two years, showed a prompt message again, the green figure stopped.

The seven-year-old Broly was half a head taller than when he was five years old. He had a green skirt made of Bayamon's hair hanging around his waist, and he had turned back into a little savage.

"Huh~"

Gasping on the edge of the thin atmosphere, a hint of golden color faded from the depths of the boy's pupils.

During these two years, he worked frantically to make himself faster, breaking his own speed limit every day.

After working hard for more than two years, nearly three years, he finally filled up the space-time energy of the Crystal Palace. Looking at the 18 happiness points that his wife was left with and were slowly giving him in a happy state, Broly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

Finally, he can set off to another world again and earn happiness points.

However, before leaving, he had to say something to his father.

Broly quickly descended in altitude. He had come to such a high place in order to increase his speed.

Soon, he found his father Paragas at the edge of the pit where Bayamon usually stayed. The Saiyan father was weaving clothes for his son using Bayamon's hair.

Life on Vampa was hard, and Paragas was reluctant to let his son spend his happiness points on things other than food, so things like clothes had to be made using local materials.

In seven years, this Saiyan father learned the skill of weaving fur clothing without any instruction. Although the things he weave are not very sturdy, they are already a good local specialty of the planet Wampa - handmade fur products.

"Hey, Broly, are you planning on taking a break today?"

After noticing his son's arrival, Paragas asked curiously.

"It's not a break, it's enough."

Because Broly spent a lot of time flying and moving to recharge, he rarely spoke in more than two years.

Now, his pronunciation seems a little unskilled.

"enough?"

Paragas was stunned at first, then surprised.

With a little force, the fur clothing that had not yet been woven was torn apart.

"clothing."

Broly reminded him, but Paragus waved his hand.

"Who cares about clothes now, Broly? You are traveling to another world this time, so you must find a good wife in that other world. The more wives you find, the better.

But don’t forget to increase their happiness values. All enemies who dare to stand in your way of finding a wife and increasing her happiness value, don’t hesitate, just kill them all..."

God knows how long Paragas has been waiting for this moment, but during this time of waiting, he has been constantly helping his son figure out a plan to maximize his happiness points.

"Broly, you have to remember, after you meet a wife, don't rush to pull them into the Crystal Palace. You have to raise the happiness value of the wives you meet to the extreme, and then invite them into the palace when the deadline comes back."

"Ah."

Broly listened to his father's instructions and nodded to take note of them one by one.

"Of course, if you encounter some powerful enemies that you cannot defeat, the most important thing is to save your own life. The worst that can happen is that you can return to Wanpa Star and gnaw on spider legs for a few more years."

Traveling to a different world, who knows what is there. Paragus passed on to Broly his past experience of visiting some dangerous and unfamiliar planets.

The core of this experience is that the Saiyans are flexible and can run away if they encounter a strong enemy they cannot deal with. This is not a shameful thing.

"understood."

Broly agreed on the surface, but in his heart he didn't want to chew on the spider's legs.

[No matter how strong the enemy is, you must fight to the end. ]

With this thought in mind, Broly chose to travel through time after using his remaining happiness points to leave a complete pork chop rice bowl for Paragus.

. . . .

At the edge of the Jifunora Sea Tree Forest, imperial soldiers drove a group of children purchased from slave traders off a transport vehicle.

After handing each of the children a knife, a man who looked like an officer walked up to a platform made of wooden boxes and shouted to the skinny children below, "Do you want to have enough food? Do you want to live? You can get all these here.

See the forest over there? As long as you can survive through the forest and reach the clearing in the middle of the forest, you will be able to eat and survive."

The children looked in the direction the officer pointed. It was broad daylight, but the forest seemed a little dark.

The occasional roars of beasts made many children look frightened, and some even burst into tears.

Most of those crying were children who were sent here directly without having received many whips from the slave traders.

"Now, you can go in."

The officer ignored all this and gave the order directly.

"No, that's the sound of a dangerous species. I've heard it before. I'm not going in. I want to go home."

An older boy was terrified and ran away from the forest.

"Bang~"

Suddenly a gunshot rang out, a flower of blood appeared behind the escaping boy, and he fell straight to the ground.

The boy was howling but was not dead yet. The officer who had fired the shot jumped off the stage and walked towards this side.

"How foolish! Entering the forest, we can try our luck in not encountering any dangerous creatures."

The officer drew the knife from his waist and without hesitation, chopped off the boy's head.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, if there is still someone here, we will kill him."

"elder sister……"

In the crowd, a little girl snuggled up to a bigger girl, looking a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, Hei Tong, sister will protect you."

Holding her sister's hand, Akagi said something to comfort her, then followed the crowd into the forest.

Not long after they walked, a dangerous snake descended from a tree and bit the child in front of them.

The children who were traveling together screamed and ran for their lives, and soon they were separated in the Jifunola Sea Tree Forest where dangerous species were active.

Akame held her sister tightly and ran as far as she could towards a place that looked safe.

. . . .

In the middle of the forest, the imperial soldiers were clearing the bodies of some dangerous species. On the high cliff nearby, a bald man looked at the forest where the roars of beasts were becoming more frequent. He suddenly asked the man lying on the stone behind him: "Gozzi, how many children do you think will pass this time?"

"Who knows? But with hundreds of kids thrown in, there will definitely be some with enough potential and good luck who can come out of it."

The long-haired man held a blade of grass in his mouth, looking like he didn't really care.

And he really didn't care, those children were consumables.

"By the way, Goziqi, how many children can you train at most?"

"Let me think about it. Well, I can train at most 7."

"Okay, then I'll leave the seven best students to you, and as for the other students who can run away, I'll take them all."

"Bill, do you really think that training a group of kids for assassination now will be useful in the future?"

Goziqi suddenly asked.

“Now the empire is like a hayfield, with smoke rising everywhere. We want to put out the fire, but people’s hearts are divided and we can’t tell who is the enemy.

However, I think as long as we train assassins for firefighting, it will still be of some use."

The bald man replied.

"However, considering the age of those children, it will take at least seven or eight years to train them to a level where they can be put to use. By then, it is not certain whether the empire will still exist."

"Haha, Goziqi, I think your worries are unnecessary. No matter how corrupt it is, the empire has existed for a thousand years. It's impossible for it to collapse in just a few years, right?"

"hope so."

Spitting out the grass leaves in his mouth, Goziqi drew his sword and turned around.

A dangerous bird swooped down from the sky and mistook him for prey, but was chopped into two pieces by the magic sword in his hand, including its claws and body.

"As expected of someone who is one of the four Rakshasa ghosts."

Seeing this, Bill praised him.
