The Scouter Exploded

"Cough, cough... There are seven Dragon Balls in total, with one to seven stars inside them..." Moori had no choice but to explain.

"Got it." Luo Tian nodded.

Moori: "..."

I said all that, and all you say is "Got it"?

"Thanks, then I won't stand on ceremony." As Luo Tian spoke, he took the Dragon Ball from Moori's hand.

Moori wore a smile, feeling relieved inside.

He believed that even if the Great Elder knew Luo Tian intended to collect the Dragon Balls, he would not be stingy about it.

After all, Luo Tian had saved all of Planet Namek.

Such a debt of gratitude was worth repaying.

Besides, even if the wish you wanted to make was a little excessive, you might not necessarily be able to make it come true.

After all, making a wish required the Namekian Language.

You didn't know the Namekian Language. Whatever wish you wanted to make would have to be translated through us.

"Um... Luo Tian, may I ask what wish you want to make by collecting the Dragon Balls?" Moori stepped forward and asked.

"Elder Moori, my father once told me that learning a foreign language would be greatly beneficial to oneself." Luo Tian set the Dragon Ball on the nearby table, changed the subject, and looked at Moori.

"Learning a foreign language?" Moori was stunned.

"Traveling everywhere, my greatest dream has actually been to master multiple alien languages," Luo Tian answered.

Moori suddenly felt that something was off.

It feels like this kid is leading me into a trap.

"So, Elder Moori, could you teach me the Namekian Language?" Luo Tian pressed while the iron was hot.

Before Moori could speak, Delta patted his chest and volunteered, "Of course. Leave teaching you the Namekian Language to me."

Moori: "..."

"Besides, having you learn our Namekian Language is also a source of pride and honor for us Namekians." Delta laughed heartily.

Moori did not want to speak anymore.

Why do I feel like this kid's purpose in learning the Namekian Language... isn't so innocent?

"Luo Tian, when do you want to start learning?" Delta asked.

"Now," Luo Tian answered.

Delta: "..."

"Cough, cough. What an impatient little fellow." Delta wiped away sweat.

After that, Delta did not hold back. He gave Luo Tian a simple explanation of several characteristics of the Namekian Language, as well as its pronunciation.

Luo Tian listened attentively and studied hard.

An hour passed quickly.

Luo Tian had also gained some grasp of the Namekian Language.

Though he could not converse fluently with Namekians in the Namekian Language, making a wish to Shenron should not pose much of a problem.

The Great Elder had not arrived yet.

However, Vegeta rubbed his head, opened his eyes, and woke up.

After opening his eyes, Vegeta discovered Luo Tian chatting and laughing with the three Namekians.

Vegeta immediately sprang up from the ground and glared at Luo Tian in embarrassed fury.

Just as Vegeta was about to lose his temper, Luo Tian spoke first.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is Vegeta, and he is also the Prince of us Saiyans." Luo Tian pointed at Vegeta as he introduced him.

Moori and the others: "..."

Is he really your Prince?

You're really disrespectful to your Prince.

You knocked him flat with one slap.

"Hmph, Luo Tian, spare me your sweet talk! Do you think I don't know what you just did to me?!" Vegeta shouted angrily.

"Prince, I was merely testing your reaction speed just now. This will help prevent you from being ambushed in the future," Luo Tian answered.

"Hmph, utter nonsense!" Vegeta flew into a rage out of humiliation.

"This is for you." As Luo Tian spoke, he picked up the Dragon Ball from the table and tossed it to Vegeta.

Vegeta was briefly stunned, then immediately caught the Dragon Ball.

Then Vegeta instantly came back to his senses. His eyes widened, and delight filled his face as he hurriedly asked, "This... could this be the wish-granting Dragon Ball?"

Luo Tian quickly nodded.

"Have you already made a wish?" Vegeta hurriedly asked.

"Wasn't I waiting for you?" Luo Tian smiled. "You're the Prince, so even if someone is going to make a wish, it should be you first. Besides, I heard that once the Dragon Balls grant wishes, they turn into stone."

Moori: "????"

What are you two doing?

Something feels off about this conversation.

Why do I feel like you're trying to trick your Prince?

"Hmph, that's more like it." Vegeta's anger gradually subsided.

The next moment, Vegeta wore a smug grin. Then he burst into laughter, hugged the Dragon Ball in his hands, and shouted, "Make me, Vegeta, a Super Saiyan!"

Then... nothing happened.

A cool breeze swept past, making Vegeta's hair sway in the wind.

Vegeta immediately turned and glared at Luo Tian, pointing at the Dragon Ball as he asked, "What's going on? Why is there no reaction?"

"There are seven Dragon Balls in total. You need all seven to make a wish," Luo Tian answered. "What are you in such a hurry for?"

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta immediately felt awful all over.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

"You dare toy with me!" Vegeta glared furiously at Luo Tian.

"Someone's coming." Luo Tian's expression turned serious. He stood up first, turned, and looked toward the diagonal rear.

"What?" Vegeta was stunned and also swept his gaze in the direction Luo Tian was looking.

"Vegeta, the person coming this time has extremely high Battle Power. You must not act rashly," Luo Tian warned.

"Extremely high Battle Power? Who are you trying to fool? Are there even any powerful fighters left on Planet Namek?" Vegeta snorted disdainfully.

Immediately afterward, Vegeta pressed the Scouter over his eye.

"Beep... Warning, warning... Battle Power 20,000... 21,000... 22,000!"

Bang!

After displaying several rapidly rising numbers, the Scouter exploded on the spot.

Vegeta cried out, shut one eye, and stared dumbfoundedly at the distant sky.

"Who is it? Did that bastard Dodoria chase after us?" Vegeta's expression changed again and again.

Soon, two green-skinned figures gradually appeared in the sky.

"Namekians?" Vegeta immediately focused on the two Namekians who had just appeared in the sky.

Luo Tian also looked into the air.

Of the two Namekians who had appeared, one looked extremely old, while the other was a young man.

Luo Tian recognized both of them.

They were Planet Namek's Great Elder and Nail, the only combat-type Namekian.
