Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 642 Dragon Attack, A Young Man Aspiring to Become a Hero!

"King Broly, the planetary spaceship's engines have been upgraded and modified. We estimate that it will take about 55 to 60 days to traverse this star system. If you have not returned from the other world by the time we reach the edge of this star system, we will stay there temporarily."

Since Tzley wants to be a happiness jar and hasn't joined the Crystal Palace yet, Broly still has to face the issue of the Crystal Palace's positioning.

However, judging from the time it took to travel to another world before, this time should be enough. At worst, we can activate the new speed travel function.

"Broly, when are you coming back?"

Tselai came over to ask what was wrong. She was quite happy with her life on Planet Wampa, but the fact that the boy she knew best was preparing to leave the planet still made her a little uneasy.

"I don't know the exact time I'll be back, because the length of time I stay in each other world depends on how much the other world rejects visitors from other worlds."

Broly shook his head.

"Don't worry, Wanpa Star is your home now too. Before I come back, if you want to pass the time, there are comics and game consoles."

If you want to learn something, like martial arts, you can consult Angela and the others. If you want to learn something literary, you can consult scientists like Kaguga.

“Miss Tselai, I am Kaguga, and I am happy to serve you.”

Kaguga, who looked like a goblin, bowed to the girl with utmost respect.

King Broly's future wife is similar to the future queen of Planet Wampa.

"If you want to learn management knowledge, you can ask my father for advice, or you can learn it yourself by reading books."

Broly patted Tzley's head; the girl's soft white hair felt very comfortable to touch.

"Alright then, Broly."

Life on Vampa is like paradise compared to life on Laika.

After learning about the Crystal Palace, Tzley realized that maintaining a good mood every day was the best way to repay the boy.

"I'll miss you. This is the first day. I'm going to find Luna and Mace!"

Tseley kissed the boy on the cheek, then waved and ran off to play with Luna and Mace.

Of course, Tse's life now involves more than just having fun; her humble origins give her a strong motivation to improve herself.

Although, as Luna said, she could simply be a pretty face for the boy, Tseley felt that she wanted to be someone who could help him and do what she could to help him.

Well, according to Miss Huangquan, it's about being a virtuous and capable wife, although she doesn't really understand it.

Broly watched the girl leave before bringing up the Crystal Palace panel.

Crystal Palace's Otherworldly Transmigration: Initiation!
. . . . .

The surrounding scenery changed, and Broly appeared in a green field.

Ignoring his surroundings, Broly first checked his length of stay, which was displayed on the Crystal Palace panel as: 150 days, 5 hours, and 22 minutes of stay.

This new other world doesn't seem to be very hostile to outsiders; the basic stay period is as long as five months.

Spacetime Energy Bar: 35/40. Requires triple speed, therefore, an additional 15 points of spacetime energy are needed.

[Do you want to enable time speed adjustment?]

[Note 1: Once the time-speed effect is activated during this time travel, it cannot be manually canceled.]

[Note 2: Time variation will affect the normal use of the group chat room and Crystal Palace internal environment module space.]

"Crystal Palace, can I extend my stay before activating time speed-up?"

Broly calculated his spacetime energy and, instead of immediately activating the speed change, consulted the Crystal Palace.

【Can. 】

Crystal Palace responded quickly.

"Can extended dwell time also be varied in speed?"

Yes, the gear ratio is calculated based only on the overall dwell time.

"Can I extend the dwell time after the gear shift function is already activated?"

Crystal Palace briefly crashed, and after what seemed like a period of calculation, it finally responded: "[Crystal Palace does not currently support complex time operations.]"

"Ok."

Broly shrugged, his idea of ​​shifting gears first and then deciding whether to extend his stay in this other world after finding a target to conquer was abandoned without any further thought.

"150 days, but with just 5 more points of spacetime energy, it can be doubled to 300 days. That's a good deal. With another 30 points of spacetime energy, I can compress the time to return to my own world to 50 days after I left..."

Broly only thought about it for a moment before going all in with all the spacetime energy points he had accumulated.

[The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish], [Life is like a high-stakes gamble, and going all in is a kind of wisdom]...

Shaking off these strange thoughts, Broly began to observe the new world he had arrived in.

Yeah, it feels like when I first went to Six Faces World, it's all about the scenery of wild grasslands.

Broly looked up at the sky but didn't see any rabbits flying with big ears. Instead, he saw several creatures resembling dangerous dragon species streaking across the sky above him and then diving towards the ground like fighter jets.

Broly was positioned on higher ground, and soon, following the direction of the swooping dragon-like dangerous creatures, he spotted a convoy moving in the distance.

. . . .

"It's a flying dragon! Ordinary people, quickly hide under the carriage! Guards, prepare to engage it with me!"

The captain in charge of escorting the convoy shouted loudly, and the ordinary people in the convoy dared not be careless. They quickly found the nearest vehicle and crawled under it.

A boy with white hair and rabbit-colored eyes peered out from under the car, observing the situation outside.

He knew that monsters existed and reproduced normally in the wild, but this was the first time in his life that he had actually seen one.

Previously, the only animals that could be seen in the village were normal wild beasts. I never expected that just a few days after leaving the village, on the way to the labyrinth city, I would be attacked by monsters.

Perhaps this is what Grandpa meant when he said that every hero encounters extraordinary experiences at the beginning of their adventure.

The boy was a little excited, feeling as if he were experiencing the beginning of a hero's story, even though he was just someone taking refuge under a car.

"Bang~"

The dragons swooped down, and the guards in the caravan raised their shields to intercept the attack of three dragons, but one carriage was still overturned by the last remaining dragon.

The horses that tried to escape were caught and instantly disemboweled by the flying dragon. The reason why the wild monsters attacked the caravan was probably just to hunt for food.

"Ah~"

The sight of blood splattering everywhere terrified the rabbit-woman girl who had been hiding under the overturned carriage. Even though her mother was right beside her, holding her tightly, the eleven or twelve-year-old girl still cried out in alarm, and the sound attracted the attention of the dragon that was eating.

The dragon-like monster looked over, and the rabbit-woman mother had already covered her daughter's mouth, but fear still made her body tremble uncontrollably.

The dragon glanced at the horse under its paws, then at the rabbit-woman mother and daughter over there. It seemed to find the prey over there more appealing, so it quickly abandoned the horse and moved closer to the rabbit-woman mother and daughter.

This caravan was a temporary alliance formed by several small merchant caravans, who pooled their money to hire guards and travel together. The rabbit-woman mother and daughter were simply passengers who paid to join the caravan, and the passengers were mostly strangers to each other.

At a time like this, who would be willing to risk attracting the dragon's attention to save someone who has nothing to do with them?

The answer is that Bell Craney, a country boy who is new to the world and dreams of becoming a hero, crawls out from under the carriage, picks up a stone from the ground, and throws it at the dragon's head.

His throwing ability was quite good; he accurately hit the dragon's head, causing zero damage, but it did attract the dragon's attention.

"A hero is someone who stands up to help those in need during a crisis!"

These were the words of my late grandfather, and now he has done it.

Just as Feilong looked in his direction, a sense of fear inevitably crept into his heart.

The human boy, who resembled a rabbit, turned and ran away amidst the fear surrounding him.

He didn't run back to the carriage, because that might endanger others who were also hiding under it.

The boy chose to run in the direction the convoy had come from; there was a grove of trees in that direction.

In heroic tales, it's common to see thrilling escape sequences involving hiding in complex forests to avoid dangerous flying monsters.

The boy often ran errands for his grandfather in the village, and he was confident in his speed. He believed he could catch up with Feilong before he could.

But there's a difference between imagination and reality. Feeling a fierce wind coming from behind, the boy instinctively lunged forward. Although he dodged the attack of the dragon that was eyeing him, he still fell heavily to the ground.

The dragon landed and blocked his way. Its fangs and sharp teeth were stained with the blood from the horse it had just killed. The boy swallowed hard, trying to get up and run away, but found his legs were weak.

Grandpa, I mustered up the courage to save others, but it seems I'm going to die now. If I die like this, can I still be called a hero?

Bell Crane was on the verge of tears, and with the approaching dragon, a strong urge to urinate was pressing on his bladder.

This is just an ordinary country boy who, because of the heroic stories his grandfather told him when he was young, aspired to become a hero since childhood.

I have courage, but not much. Now, facing death, the little courage I have is like a candle flame about to go out, about to be completely consumed.

Feilong had no idea what the boy was thinking. He simply approached him, opened his mouth, and prepared to bite the guy who dared to throw stones at him and make him feel pain.

The boy raised his hands to shield his face, as if this could hide the fear on his face and prevent him from appearing spineless before he died.

But the excruciating pain of being torn apart by a monster that I had imagined did not occur. Instead, the neck of the dragon that was close to me was kicked off from behind and broken, and blood gushed out from the cut like a fountain.

The boy on the ground was drenched in blood, looking as if he had been stained with ketchup. The sudden turn of events left Bell stunned.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Just as the headless corpse of the dragon fell to the ground with a thud, a boy who looked much younger than him came around from behind the dragon's body and asked a question.

Bell Craney then realized that he had been saved, and the person who had saved him was the boy who had spoken to him.

"Thank...thank you!"

The adorable white-haired boy let out a long breath, his face covered in dragon blood, and he solemnly thanked Broly with gratitude.

"No need to be so polite. I saw it all just now. You were very courageous in helping others."

Broly waved his hand. He had originally planned to lend a hand at that moment, but the boy in front of him ran out and threw stones, looking like he was in the spotlight, so he continued to observe.

Just as the boy was about to be killed by the dragon creature that had drawn his hatred, he flashed over and kicked the dragon in the neck from behind.

"Oh, did you see it all?"

Bell became a little embarrassed.

"I only have courage, but no ability. If you hadn't saved me in time, I might have been eaten by the dragon."

This situation made him feel like a fool who overestimated his abilities.

“My name is Broly, a Saiyan who just arrived here.”

Broly reached out his hand to the boy on the ground.

“Bell Crane, a human who just came out of the village.”

Bell instinctively responded by taking the boy's outstretched hand and using it to stand up from the ground.

"I'll go help out over there. You should be able to take care of yourself, right?"

Broly looked at the trembling boy and asked uncertainly.

"Oh, I'm fine with this, please go ahead and help."

Bell quickly waved his hand in reply, and then Broly tiptoed, his body shooting towards the convoy like an arrow.

In no time at all, the other dragons who were entangled with the caravan guards had their necks broken one by one.

The movements were so light and the posture so relaxed, it was as if what was kicked off was not the thick neck of a flying dragon, but bamboo stalks that had become very brittle after being exposed to the scorching sun.

After the battle, Broly, unsurprisingly, received thanks from the convoy leader and his men, while the boy waved his hand, telling them not to be so polite.

As Bale walked back and looked at this scene, he felt that a hero should be like the other person.

Grandpa, I experienced a story that started like a hero's tale, but the protagonist wasn't me; it seemed to be someone else, the hero, and I was just one of the supporting characters saved by that hero.

Just as Bell was thinking this, a soft, sweet voice came from beside him.

"The big brother with white hair..."

Bell turned his head and saw a rabbit-woman girl looking at him.

"Young man, thank you for stepping forward and saving my daughter and me in that moment of crisis..."

The rabbit-woman mother bowed in gratitude, and the glimpse of her snow-white cleavage at the neckline made Bell, who had little experience with women, blush instantly.

Fortunately, his face was still covered in blood, so you couldn't tell he was blushing. Bell quickly imitated the boy over there, waving his hand and saying, "You don't need to be so polite, it was just a small favor."

After he finished speaking, his face, which was covered in blood, turned even redder.

Grandpa, I was also thanked by the person I saved, which made me feel like a hero myself!

The boy was in a great mood, and his injuries didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

"Mr. Broly, are you also planning to go to Orario? If you don't mind, would you like to travel with us?"

On the other side, after thanking Broly, the team leaders asked him where he wanted to go.

They wanted to bring this person, who appeared to be a high-level adventurer, into their caravan to increase the safety of the rest of the journey.

"I'm new here and don't know where I'm going. If you could tell me about the basics of this world, I wouldn't mind being your bodyguard."

Broly saw through the group's intentions, but he didn't refuse. He needed to get a general understanding of this other world.

Bell was pleased to hear this, because it meant that he, being on the same team, would have the opportunity to meet a hero-like figure.
