Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 629 Only today did I realize I'm an extremely poor person!

The Slug Legion typically uses planetary ships by abandoning the old planet upon reaching the vicinity of a new, targeted planet. The old planet is then allowed to explode in space, while the core spaceship takes off, using the force of the explosion to propel itself directly to the new planet.

However, Broly's side is carrying the planet Wampa and does not intend to abandon it. Therefore, in terms of the planet's braking, it will feel like an old-fashioned steam train, but it needs to leave a long distance in space as a buffer deceleration zone.

Furthermore, due to the lack of native materials on Vampa, the number of gravity control devices built was insufficient.

If you get too close to a planet in this new star system, it could cause an imbalance in the gravitational relationships between the planets in that new star system.

"King Broly, our estimated location after stopping on Planet Wampa is about 45 million kilometers away from the inhabited planet we want to reach."

In order to terraform Wampa, I dismantled the original spaceship, which is now unable to travel independently.

The remaining distance can only be traversed by soldiers wearing spacesuits, or by powerful individuals like yourself who can envelop their bodies in qi.

Kaguga, who said this, looked at Broly with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen someone who could detach from the planet and keep up with the high-speed interstellar travel of a spaceship after it accelerated to the first interstellar travel speed. This was even more shocking to Kagaku than when the other party had dealt with King Slug in no time.

To put it simply, imagine a high-speed rail designer riding his own high-speed train at maximum speed, when a passenger next to him, acting as the owner of the train, suddenly opens the window and jumps out. The passenger then runs at a speed no less than the train's full speed, and after a while, casually, or at most a little out of breath, returns to the train.

That's about how it feels.

"This isn't a big problem, Kaguga. Approximately how long will it take us to reach our designated stopping point in this star system?"

Broly deactivated his Super Saiyan 4 transformation, took the towel handed to him by Angela, wiped the sweat from his journey on the planetary ship, and asked...

“King Broly, the startup and shutdown times of Planet Wampa are now almost the same.”

Kaguga answered.

"Okay, I'll come back in a month."

Having learned the exact time, Broly traveled to the rest of the world.

During his remaining world visits, Broly did not encounter a new wife.

Of those worlds, Broly only stayed for five days before leaving, except for Jade's world, which he didn't visit.

The wives, including Megumin, Jibril, Lilithmon, Loki, Little Scorpio, and Yomi, complained about the rushed return.

Simply because they had waited more than two months longer than their wives from the previous two worlds, they all felt that Crystal Palace's location tracking capabilities were somewhat lacking in the group chat.
They asked Broly if they could solve this problem by upgrading the features, and Broly actually asked Crystal Palace the same question.

But he received a negative answer unless he could find a target in his own world who was recognized by the Crystal Palace and keep that person on Planet Wampa.

Only in this way can we break free from the positioning of the star system and use the coordinates of our wife's location as our location.

"How do I find a wife for my own world?"

In a world set against the backdrop of the universe, and with the Crystal Palace offering no guidance, how are we supposed to find it?

Perhaps Bulma and Android 18, whom Rudy mentioned on Earth, are targets that Crystal Palace acknowledges, but only if they can find Earth's coordinates first.

Broly was also a little helpless, but Crystal Palace's policy of allowing self-made figurine wives to join gave him a good idea.

However, when he shared his good idea in the group chat, it was immediately rejected by all his wives.

"But on Planet Wampa, only the Wampa Spider is a female creature."

"A person cannot, at least should not, treat a former sexual partner as his wife."

Broly's brilliant idea ultimately failed to gain the support of any of Crystal Palace's wives.

To prevent Broly from getting married, he even randomly picked a female creature from his own world to be his wife.

The existing wives have joined forces to set a rule for Broly: the wives in his world must be at least recognized as potential conquest targets by the Crystal Palace, and they must be personally won over by Broly and have agreed to voluntarily join the Crystal Palace.

"Being in the same world as Broly already gives you a huge advantage. You're not a target recognized by Crystal Palace, and you don't like any of them, so you can't have any of them."

"That's right, that's exactly it. Also, if someone doesn't join Crystal Palace voluntarily, or doesn't truly like you, then they can't be with you."

Perhaps because they live in the same world, the other wives in the other world have set stricter conditions for the wives who might exist in Broly's world to join the Crystal Palace.

"She must be someone Crystal Palace acknowledges as a potential conquest target, someone you genuinely like, and someone who can also like you back. Broly, your wife in this world, at least meets these three conditions!"

Huihui summarized, and her message in the group chat room received likes from all 57 wives except for her good friend Xiaoyu, her two bodyguard wives Kyrie and Medea.

"Uh, okay then."

What could Broly say in response? He could only post a cute chibi emoji of himself nodding obediently, indicating that he had agreed to the three mandatory vetting conditions for new members joining the Dragon Ball world, as proposed by his many wives.

"Broly, it's like finding a wife in your own world. How can you let your wives from another world control you?"

When Paragus learned that many of his daughters-in-law in the Crystal Palace wanted to interfere in his son's search for a wife in this world, he immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.

"If you won't agree, Father, do you have a better solution?"

Broly looked at his elderly father with some curiosity.

"Saiyans value strength above all else. If your otherworldly wives are disobedient, just beat them until they obey."

Paragus, a traditional Saiyan, said matter-of-factly.

"You hit your mother like this when she doesn't listen to you?"

Broly felt that his father's advice was not worthwhile, but he was still curious about the specific way he interacted with his mother, whom he had no memory of.

"Of course, but your mother listens to me very much, and I have never hit her."

Paragus stroked his beard, reminiscing about his former wife, glancing sideways as he spoke.

"Are you lying?"

Broly squinted at him and asked.

"How is it possible?!"

Paragus instinctively retorted, only to see his son raise his little fist in front of him, seemingly ready to have a one-on-one spar.

This made him quickly clench his fist and cough lightly twice before telling the truth: "We have never really fought, but in bed, she is definitely better than me."

Broly is no longer a child, so he naturally knows what a bed frame is. He glanced at his father and sighed, "Father, you should mind your own business with my wives. I can handle it myself."

Paragus, whose son glanced at his waist and between his legs, felt a sense of being looked down upon by his son.

Having many wives is nothing special.

For Saiyans, what's truly important is their fighting ability.

What? Your son's fighting power is off the charts! He's been able to beat you up since he was three years old?
That's fine.

Paragus was somewhat frustrated and went back to arrange the list of personnel to be logged into the target planet, Lyca.

"A bed frame, huh? Perhaps I should train my combat skills in that area too..."

Broly looked down between his legs and thought he should train his soft parts.

But there's no rush, after all, he didn't feel anything when he was being played with.

Well, it's not too late to start training when you feel like it.

Broly looked at the Crystal Palace panel in front of him, where the spacetime energy bar had been upgraded to another level.

[Space-Time Energy Bar (Lv4), currently storing 31/40 Space-Time Energy. Upgrade requires 8 Happiness Points. Can consume multiples of stored Space-Time Energy for variable-speed travel. Note: While in variable-speed travel worlds, the group chat room will be temporarily unavailable due to abnormal space-time.]

This is a new function that Broly discovered after upgrading the spacetime energy bar because he didn't want the spacetime energy to overflow after storing 20 energy bars.

Unlike before Lv4, which only extended the stay time, upgrading to Lv4 adds a variable speed travel option.

This function primarily reduces or increases the ratio of time spent in the other world to time in one's own world after traversing to another world.

原本龙珠宇宙和异世界宇宙的时间流速是1比1，但通过变速穿越，却可以变成1比2，1比3（按所消耗时空能量倍数算）。

Broly seems a bit useless, but given that he will be traveling through different star systems after Wampa, it seems to have some use.

At least, it can reduce the probability of a situation where someone stays in another world for too long and finds that their own planet has moved far away when they return.

"Crystal Palace, the upgrades to some basic functions, and the additional features that appeared, were they designed by you based on my current situation?"

Broly asked instinctively. He had reason to be suspicious. Before this, he was worried about not being able to travel to other worlds during his journey on Planet Wampa. Then, after the spacetime energy bar was upgraded, this extra function appeared.

"The Crystal Palace is a system module edited by the Z0186 system and built for the host's happiness. All the additional functions obtained from the upgrade of the basic functions are for the host's benefit."

Crystal Palace gave a rigid answer, neither yes nor no. Broly continued to ask, and the answer remained the same.

"King Broly, the landing force has been assembled and we are ready to depart for Lyca and conquer that life-bearing planet."

Just then, the handsome demon man with gray skin, Angela, walked over, knelt down on one knee in front of Broly, and said...

"Ah."

Broly responded instinctively, but quickly realized what the other person meant. He tapped his earlobe with his pinky finger, wondering if he had misheard. He asked Angela uncertainly, "Wait, aren't we here to purchase materials to upgrade the power system of Planet Wampa?"

"Yes, King Broly, we are here to purchase materials."

Angela nodded.

"So what do you mean by conquering planets?"

Broly was puzzled.

"Once we conquer Laika Star, all the space infrastructure materials on that immigrant planet marked by the Galactic Federation will belong to Wanpa Star and to you!"

Angela gave an answer without hesitation.

[Free purchase...]

The information flashed through Broly's mind, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "We are not robbers."

Although he had done zero-dollar purchases in the world of Kill! Red, at least he brought money with him. It's just that the party he was forced to buy from didn't want the money and even gave him money in return.

More importantly, he was young and naive at the time, and thought that the other party was being kind and understanding by not accepting money.

But things are different now. He's grown up and more sensible. Broly wouldn't do something as low-class as robbery or being a bandit.

Angela: "..."

In the year since the Slug Legion was renamed the Wampa Legion, the demon soldiers, thanks to the generous treatment of their new king, were all eager and full of vigor upon learning that they were about to arrive at a new inhabited planet. They were just waiting to expand the territory for their new king, Broly, and conquer the first inhabited planet.

As a result, their new king is now saying that they are not robbers?

Then what are they? They can't be the Galactic Patrol, can they?
"King Broly, if we don't become bandits, how will we procure the materials needed to upgrade Planet Wampa?"

Angela asked.

“We can use a transaction, such as buying it with money.”

Broly replied that this was a civilized practice he had learned in another world.

"But we don't have any money."

Angela reminded her.

"Well, my father and I were indeed broke on Planet Wampa, but didn't Slug, whom I dealt with, leave behind any money?"

Broly asked in confusion, thinking that the other party must be a wealthy person to be able to support so many soldiers.

"Reporting to King Broly, back when we were still serving under Slug, we were a band of interstellar bandits who called ourselves the rulers of the galaxy."

They would plunder entire planets and their inhabitants in one go, like Galactic Federation currency. Although we managed to steal some, it was just a piece of waste paper to us at the time.

After all, we can't exactly go and spend money on a planet registered with the Galactic Federation while being wanted by them, can we?

In the past, the Slug Legion did manage to plunder money, but that money was worthless to both Slug and his soldiers.

Generally, when changing planets, the spaceships are disposed of along with the abandoned planets as garbage, turning into cosmic dust.

Broly: "So, in the universe of this world, we're actually super poor?"

Angela: "King Broly is wise!"

Broly: "..."
