Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 759 Can Raising Favorability Really Unleash Skills?
"Was this resurrection a success?"

A new day, and a new set of resurrection experiments. The chicken skeleton, pieced together by Fels using different materials (accounting for a quarter of the body), regained its former life under the glow of resurrection magic. It looked much better than the experiment with bones the day before, which made Broly ask excitedly.

"It's still uncertain; only time will tell."

As Fels answered, he put the resurrected chickens into separate cages.

"Alright, Mr. Broly, I don't need your help for now. I still need to prepare some alternative plans in case this plan fails. You are free to do as you please, you can even go back to sleep."

Of course, Broly didn't go back to sleep. He changed his clothes and went out to buy breakfast for his wife and the other wives in reserve.

"Here you go, this is your breakfast portion ordered last night."

At the Abundant Hostess Tavern, the signboard girl handed a bundle of lunchboxes she had tied up to the Saiyan boy in front of her.

"Thanks, Seele."

Broly thanked him.

"I heard from Ryu that Lord Hephaestus and Miss Tsubaki, the leader of her clan, also moved to the Hearth House yesterday, is that right?"

"Ah."

"So, are they the kind of women you want to meet?"

When Seele asked him, Broly didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement.

"Broly, you really are a bit of a womanizer~"

Seele puffed out her cheeks and said, seemingly a little angry.

"sorry."

"Hey, aren't you going to defend yourself?"

"Wanting to meet multiple different people of the opposite sex at the same time is a sign of promiscuity under the prevailing values ​​of the world. This is a fact, and I cannot refute it."

Broly responded seriously, saying that his wife had said the same thing to him before, and now he understood that his behavior was indeed that of a womanizer.

"Normally, at times like this, you should argue that Lady Hephaestus and her clan leader, Miss Tsubaki, only live at the Hearth Mansion because of their close personal relationship with Lady Hestia, instead of directly admitting to me that you want to have an encounter with them..."

With a stern face, Seele instructed Broly, her student, on the proper way to juggle multiple girlfriends, just like a teacher.

"Yes, Seele, what you said might be the right way to deal with it, but I don't want to deceive you."

Broly thought for a moment and then answered.

"Ugh, what if I hadn't asked you that..."

"I won't say it on my own initiative."

"If you ask, be honest and tell me the truth; if you don't ask, pretend nothing happened. Should I say you're inflexible or wise but foolish?"

"I don't know. Seele, are you still angry?"

"You've been so honest with me, if I stay angry, wouldn't I seem petty and narrow-minded?"

Freya wasn't really angry; she had just wanted to tug at Broly.

Feelings need to be pulled and stretched before they become sticky.

Women should occasionally act coquettishly or throw a little tantrum to make men pamper and favor them more. (This is on the premise that there is sufficient goodwill and affection between them.)
Although Broly is not a man yet, but a boy, the principle is the same.

However, to Freya's surprise, the other party didn't give in at all and apologized without any explanation.

[He's different from some smooth-talking guys who clearly have lustful intentions but try to justify and cover them up...]

"Seele, thank you."

Broly sincerely thanks the mascot girl for constantly pursuing certain targets and gradually developing feelings for them—being a womanizer is indeed a flaw of his, and every wife who is willing to tolerate this flaw deserves his gratitude.

At this moment, Broly thought of his wives in Crystal Palace, such as his master Aqua and Roxie. This feeling of reminiscing about and being tolerant of his wives while thanking the girl in front of him was something that Freya, who could see the colors of souls, was somewhat caught up in.

From her divine perspective, the boy's soul was radiating a colorful light, representing the sincerity in his words of gratitude, and a feeling of happiness that Freya could vaguely sense but couldn't quite understand.

"Seele, if there's nothing else, I'm going back now."

Freya was awakened by the boy's words.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

She quickly pulled something out of her pocket and handed it to Broly.

"This is?"

After taking the object that looked somewhat like a pendant, Broly looked at Seele with some confusion.

"Aren't you going on an expedition to the dungeons with Loki's Familia soon?"

"Ah."

"So, this is a talisman I got for you. Although I can't guarantee it will work, it's my way of wishing you a safe return."

Freya's custom-made surveillance equipment was only completed two days ago, and today she sent it out with a legitimate reason.

"Yes, thank you. I will cherish your kindness."

Broly hung the pendant around his neck and then spoke earnestly to Seele.

"Well, as long as you come back safely, that's all that matters. As for the amulet, even if it's broken or lost, you can always come back to me for it. Your safety is the most important thing."

Although the amulet is a monitoring tool, it also contains protective magic, and can truly withstand a fatal blow when in danger.

Broly gave her a straightforward feeling, and Freya was worried that if the protective magic was really triggered, the Saiyan boy might get stuck on the problem because the amulet was damaged, which could lead to danger in the dungeon.

Therefore, she emphasized that the amulet is not important; what matters is the person.

. . . .

"Chun, I would like to ask you to help me put this into the Crystal Palace space."

"Huh, what's this?"

"A gift from someone else."

"Oh, I see. It's the same as the ribbon and brooch you asked me to put in before, right?"

"Ah."

Broly returned to the Hearth House and had Tsubaki help him put the amulet (monitoring device) that Seele had given him into the Crystal Palace space.

Seele's feelings were physically blocked, neither by monitoring nor by the protective magic.

That night, when Freya tried to use the amulet she had given to check on Broly's situation at the Hearth House, she discovered that the amulet she had given had disappeared.

"Is a barrier set up inside the Hearth Hall to isolate communication with the outside world?"

Freya could only guess at this, which made her rub her head in frustration.

. . . .

The next day, Broly bid farewell to Hestia and headed to the meeting point with Tsubaki.

Of the Loki Familia's members on this expedition, only Broly accompanied them as a combatant.

On the Hephaestus Familia's side, twenty-three high-level craftsmen emerged, including Tsubaki, the family leader.

"Mr. Broly, didn't you make any preparations?"

After they met up, during the process of checking whether all their supplies were complete, Raul looked at Broly, who was traveling light, and couldn't help but ask.

"What preparations?"

"That would be to go deep into the underground city and prepare the necessary supplies."

Raul was getting a little frantic.

The deeper levels are mostly environments where resources are scarce, making it very difficult to obtain sufficient supplies through the dungeon's environment itself.

"You mean this? Of course, there is."

Broly nodded.

"Where is it? I can't see it."

Raul looked around but didn't see any large backpacks full of supplies nearby.

"I keep all my supplies with Chun."

Broly pointed to the one-eyed craftsman.

Raul looked over and saw that the leader of the Hephaestus Familia was also traveling light.

"No, Miss Corbrand, you're not planning to go on an expedition without bringing anything with you, are you?"

As the head of logistics, Raul felt his scalp tingling and quickly went over to question him.

"Broly, may I reveal your...?"

After figuring out what the other person was anxious about, Tsubaki asked the Saiyan boy first.

"can."

Broly understood that Chun was talking about the Crystal Palace space, so he nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chun demonstrated her ability to manipulate objects out of thin air to Raul.

"Huh, what's this?"

"This is my personal storage space. I put all the supplies I need inside, and only left my weapons outside for self-defense."

After hearing this, Raul's mouth dropped open, and he quickly asked, "Can we put more supplies in?" "Well..."

Chun looked at Broly, as if asking how she should answer.

"You can put it there."

Broly nodded.

It was indeed quite arduous for a group of people to carry a pile of supplies down into the dungeon.

Anyway, the Crystal Palace space is currently quite empty, with enough room to store foreign items.

"What, a personal storage space?"

Finn was somewhat surprised when he heard Raul's report.

For expeditions, carrying more supplies means that teams can conquer unknown floors more easily.

"Miss Kobrand, may I ask the exact size of your personal storage space, and how much stuff can it hold?"

Finn came directly to him and inquired about the Crystal Palace space.

"This one……"

Chun was in a bit of a dilemma because she had never actually measured the size of the Crystal Palace.

"The available storage space is probably around 1,700 cubic meters."

However, Broly gave a brief answer.

After several expansions, the actual size of the Crystal Palace's interior space has long since reached over 1,900 cubic meters.

Although certain modules consume some space, there is still more than 1,700 cubic meters of actual storage space.

"Uh, Mr. Broly, you answer this, could it be that this space belongs to you?"

Finn was smart; he gleaned something from Chun's attitude.

"Yes, it's mine."

Broly nodded; there was no point in hiding it.

"But why didn't you use this ability when you went down into the dungeon before?"

Finn was a little curious.

"Because I am currently in a state of having activated a skill, my ability to open my personal space is temporarily disabled."

"And who is Miss Corbrand?"

"One of the people I met."

"So, Ais and Lefia also have the ability to open this personal space?"

"No, they're not ready yet."

"Huh, why?"

"Ais and Lefia are still in the process of being encountered by me, while Tsubaki has already been encountered."

"What's the difference?"

Finn was somewhat puzzled.

"Tsubaki is my wife, but Ais and Lefia are not yet."

Broly explained it succinctly.

"All right……"

Finn felt he understood the difference; it must be the significant enhancement of his wing skills after confirming his relationship with Broly.

That's what he thought, and then he heard Broly say, "However, Tiona can be used."

"Huh?!"

Seeing Finn's wide-eyed surprise, Broly explained what had happened the day before: "When I came here the day before yesterday, with Tione's help, I asked Tiona for her opinion, and she agreed to meet me."

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

An Amazonian girl with a somewhat naive and carefree personality, who didn't feel any pressure from the expedition, was brought to us.

"Tiona, try putting this backpack into your personal storage space."

Finn pointed to a large supporter's bag and said to Tiona.

"what?"

The Amazon girl looked at her leader with a puzzled expression.

"Ok?"

Finn looked at Broly with some confusion.

"Tiona, when you agreed to meet me the day before yesterday, did you receive any special invitation message in your mind?"

Broly stepped forward and asked.

"Hey, so it wasn't just my hallucination or auditory hallucination after all?"

Broly: "..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When I was a child, I often had auditory and visual hallucinations, so I subconsciously mistook the thing that suddenly appeared in my consciousness for something similar."

Tiona scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and stuck out her tongue at Broly to show that she didn't mean it.

"In short, you can directly access the interior space through that panel."

Under Broly's guidance, Tiona quickly stuffed the backpack Finn had pointed to into the Crystal Palace space.

"Wow, that's amazing! That's incredible!"

Tiona's eyes sparkled, as if she had received a toy. In front of Finn, she repeatedly stuffed the Supporter's Bag into the void and then pulled it out again.

"Mr. Broly, is this space stable? Will it suddenly collapse and all the things inside disappear?"

"Well, I don't know about other places, but at least in the dungeon, my Crystal Palace space is quite stable."

"If that's the case, then..."

After thinking for a moment, Finn immediately ordered that more supplies be brought in from the Twilight Mansion's storeroom.

Some supplies were brought along as normal, while the supplies stored in the Crystal Palace space were kept as backups.

"If we need to use your personal space to store dropped items later, Mr. Broly, we will give you half of the proceeds from those dropped items."

Finn said again.

"No need, just distribute them the way normal supporters would."

Broly waved his hand.

"it is good."

At this moment, the little hero recalled when he and Broly went to the dungeon to farm gold, and how he had refused Broly's suggestion to split the profits 50/50.

This time, however, the situation was reversed, and Broly rejected his 50/50 offer.

Sure enough, the boy in front of me was a treasure trove of sincerity and kindness in return for my sincerity and kindness.

. . . .

While the team was doing their final checks, Finn sent Tiona to Loki to update his stats panel.

"Hey, Tiona, you really have wings now?!"

Loki was initially drunk, but after updating the Amazon girl's stats, he exclaimed in surprise.

"I have wings now! That's wonderful! Now I'm just like Ais and Lefia..."

Tiona giggled.

"Wait, how did you acquire this wing skill?"

Loki quickly inquired about the situation, remembering Broly's earlier statement about paying a heavy price.

Upon hearing this, Tiona recounted how she had been hurt by the boy's small breasts that day, how Broly had comforted her, and how her sister had eventually persuaded her to agree to meet the boy.

"So, did that child pay some kind of price for giving you wings to comfort you when you were hurt by your small breasts?"

From Tiona's description of how Broly stopped her just before she was about to agree to the encounter, and how he seemed to do something before asking her again if she wanted to have the encounter, Loki could roughly deduce what happened the day before yesterday.

Loki was a little stunned. He hadn't expected that Tiona's shameless attempt to curry favor with Broly would actually get the Saiyan boy to give him a rare temporary skill.

Just as Loki, the red-haired, flat-chested goddess, was contemplating whether to have the other pure women in her Familia also raise Broly's favor to replicate Diona's experience of successfully acquiring temporary skills, Loki's Familia's joint expedition team set off.

Starting from the Twilight Mansion, we made our way through the streets to the central square, and then, under the watchful eyes of a large number of adventurers, we entered the dungeon entrance.

Among the adventurous crowd watching, a figure in a black robe, completely covered and with not a single inch of skin exposed, quickly followed the expedition team after they entered the dungeon.

. . . .

"The Loki Familia is going on a grand expedition. This time, they are expected to reach the 59th floor and find the tainted fairy clone there."

"Ye En, you go after them and cause them some trouble. If you have the chance, ambush and wipe out the expedition team in the Deep Zone."
