Dragon Ball: From Escape from Planet Vegeta

Chapter 26 Combat Power 1200, Open Your Heart

"Actually, Aunt Gine, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if it breaks, it's okay. After I finish all the modifications, I will teach you and Serari a way to control your aura and power. After learning it, you can not only become stronger, but also lock onto your target by sensing their aura and know how strong they are and whether they pose a threat to you."

As they continued modifying Serari's combat power detector, Talot's words surprised Gine once again.

"Little Talot, where did you learn all these skills? Not only can you modify detectors, but you also have this ability, even Bardock doesn't have it," Gine asked.

Talot nodded; there was no need to hide it now.

Talot also took the opportunity to demonstrate his ability to control his aura.

"Actually, I've been hiding my strength all along. Now I'm showing you all my strength. Aunt Gine can use the detector to check my current combat power."

After being shocked by Talot's words and the sudden change in his aura, Gine pressed the combat power detector again.

"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep..."

Combat Power Index: 1200 points

As the combat power detector displayed Talot's combat power value, Gine was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

"1200 combat power... This, this is the method you mentioned for controlling aura and power? It can even fool the combat power detector? Does Bardock know about this?" Gine kept asking.

After all, for Saiyans who know nothing about this, such an ability is simply incredible.

Even though power can be controlled in terms of strength and magnitude, the combat power detector can still detect the true values ​​of the Saiyans, as well as other creatures.

Now, Talot has managed to hide completely.

"Uncle Bardock didn't know about this. Actually, I want to apologize to you because I've been deceiving you about this."

"Also, I actually knew a long time ago that Frieza might target our Saiyan race, and I even knew that King Vegeta was monitoring us, so I have been secretly training and hiding my strength."

At this point in the conversation, Talot didn't dare to look at Gine. He seemed to continue burying himself in disassembling the combat power detector, but in reality, his mind was in turmoil.

This was also a knot in his heart, something he had kept hidden for a long time.

Now, taking this opportunity to say it will make him feel relieved.

Gine was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this.

She never imagined that Talot was so mature, and that he thought so much and knew so much.

Compared to her knowing nothing, five-year-old Talot was more like an adult, taking on everything just like Bardock.

After a long silence, neither Talot nor Gine spoke.

The atmosphere became very quiet.

Just as Talott made up his mind to say something more, he suddenly felt the warmth emanating from Gine's body.

He was hugged from behind by Gine.

This feeling was warm and familiar, yet different from previous hugs.

"Talot, Aunt Gine has always thought you were too young. Now I realize how hard you've been working. I should have seen it sooner, so you wouldn't have to be alone. I think Bardock saw that too, which is why I'm told to follow your arrangements completely." Gine's gentle words calmed Talot's anxious heart.

Bardock actually noticed so many details and told Gine that she would follow his arrangements.

"Sure enough, Uncle Bardock's look at me was off when we said goodbye. I should have known." Talot took a deep breath.

Gine held Talot for a long time: "Actually, you don't need to be so tired. You can tell Aunt Gine if you have any pressure. In my eyes, you are just like Raditz and Kakarot, you are all my sons."

These heartfelt words caused Talott's body to tremble slightly.

In both past and present lives, Gine truly gave him enough maternal love.

"I know, so now I'm going to tell Aunt Gine some things. After I finish modifying the combat power detector, I'll also modify some equipment on the spaceship. Only then will we be truly safe." With his inner conflict resolved, Talot was free of worries.

Gine stayed by Talot's side, her loving face unable to hide her smile.

It seemed that Talot had truly opened up to her, making her feel that their relationship had taken another step forward.

Less than two hours later, with practiced skill, Talot had completed the modification of all of Serari's and several of his reserve combat power detectors.

After confirming through experiments that the detection function was not broken,

Just then, Serarri came out of the rest room yawning, rubbing his eyes as he walked.

"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, haven't you rested?"

Once the novelty of space travel wears off, all that's left is boredom and tedium.

Aside from eating and sleeping, the only other activities were simple training within the relatively small space of the spaceship.

There are almost no entertainment activities.

wrong!

Yes, there are some. For example, Talot used his memories from his previous life to create some simple games, such as cards and board games.

"You've been getting lazier these past two days, Serari. You slept for almost twenty hours straight," Talot couldn't help but tease.

Upon hearing that she had slept for so long and had been teased by Talot for being lazy, Serari blushed and said, "I... I just didn't get enough rest earlier, that's why I was so sleepy, hmph."

"Yeah?"

"Of course."

"Pfft! Alright, alright, Serari is a girl, Talot, you should move aside." Gine interjected, easing Serari's embarrassment.

Serari approached the workbench and saw a pile of parts and fragments on the table, as well as the combat power detector, which made him somewhat suspicious.

"Brother Talot, did you take the combat power detectors apart?"

Upon hearing this, Talot nodded and explained the details to Serari.

Of course, not much was said, only that it was mentioned that in order to ensure safety, they should avoid being monitored.

Talott hadn't expected that his simple words would amplify Serari's affection for him even further.

Gine, standing to the side, couldn't stop smiling as she watched Serari openly and proactively approach Talot.

Looking back, she and Bardock were just like Ceraria and Talot are now.

She had to go to great lengths to get close to Bardock and win him over, finally melting his heart, which knew nothing about love.

In Gine's eyes, Talot was excellent and intelligent, but in terms of emotions, she felt that Talot was even more dull-witted than Bardock.

"So, Talot's real combat power is actually 1200 points, that's amazing." Serari's eyes sparkled.

Talott didn't care about the praise, because he knew his own limitations.

"Actually, I'm not that great. It's just that after I learned the method of cultivating Qi, I broke through faster." Talot attributed his success to the cultivation of Qi.
