First Meeting with Bulma

"Ha ha ha, am I rated that highly in the universe? You flatter me." Dr. Briefs could not help laughing happily after hearing Luo Tian's praise.

Then, Dr. Briefs curiously examined the spaceship behind Luo Tian.

"Ahem... What brings you here, my two extraterrestrial friends?" Dr. Briefs adjusted his glasses again and asked amicably.

"I heard Earth has something called capsules. You invented them, Doctor?" Luo Tian asked politely.

"That's right, I invented them. They're called Capsules." Dr. Briefs nodded truthfully, casually taking out a Capsule as he explained, "Simply put, they compress objects into particles and store them inside a capsule. When needed, they are decompressed and restored."

"Can you turn this spaceship into a capsule for me?" Luo Tian pointed at the spaceship behind him.

"Of course, no problem." Dr. Briefs looked thrilled. "I was just about to say... I'd like to study this ship properly too."

"Study it however you like, as long as you don't break it." Luo Tian readily agreed.

"I won't break it, don't worry." Dr. Briefs laughed and hurried forward, lovingly stroking the spaceship. "What incredible technology... There are such geniuses in the universe... What material is this made of? Earth doesn't seem to have anything similar."

Luo Tian said nothing.

As for what material it was made from, Luo Tian did not know either.

Broly understood even less. He was curious about everything.

So curious that when Broly spotted a black cat, he began staring directly into its eyes.

The black cat arched its back and warily glared at the unfamiliar face.

"Broly, don't stare at the black cat... This little guy is pretty formidable," Luo Tian called out to Broly.

Broly: "????"

"A long time ago, I personally saw a black cat holding a handgun and shooting off a mouse's ear with one shot," Luo Tian said wistfully.

Broly looked utterly confused and did not understand at all.

"There's a black cat that formidable?" Dr. Briefs asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it even made the news back then." Luo Tian nodded.

"Really? Did that happen on your planet?" Dr. Briefs asked while continuing to inspect the spaceship.

"Mm-hmm." Luo Tian nodded again, then asked, "How long will it take to turn this ship into a capsule?"

"I'll go inside and take a look at its internal structure first." Dr. Briefs crawled into the spaceship.

"Go, go!" Luo Tian cheered Dr. Briefs on from behind.

Briefs: "..."

Broly looked around in confusion, unable to understand anything.

Then Broly ran off to study some grass, suddenly finding the little plants rather strange-looking.

Dr. Briefs entered the spaceship and began an unknown exploration of its internal structure.

Such advanced technology.

After studying it for a full half hour, Briefs finally emerged from the spaceship.

"Judging from this ship's structure, it will take at least a month to turn it into a Capsule," Briefs said thoughtfully.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor." Luo Tian nodded lightly.

"No trouble at all. Being able to study advanced extraterrestrial technology is an honor for me as well." Briefs adjusted his glasses and spoke excitedly, then added, "During this time, if you don't mind, you can stay at our house."

"We don't mind." Luo Tian nodded.

"Still, are all you aliens this tall..." Once Briefs realized they meant no harm, he asked curiously.

Luo Tian was about to speak when a voice came from the distance.

"Father, I'm back!"

As the words fell, Bulma came running over from afar, cheering happily.

Luo Tian glanced at Bulma in the distance.

Bulma was only five years old this year, one year younger than Luo Tian.

Strictly speaking, Bulma was ten months younger than Luo Tian.

So they were considered the same age now.

Five-year-old Bulma had an adorable round little face, her blue hair tied into a high ponytail. She wore a pink dress and skipped along like a little rabbit.

"Uh, Bulma, you're back from school?" Briefs looked lovingly at the approaching Bulma and rubbed her head.

"Father, did you know? I heard a huge spaceship appeared in the suburbs near East Capital today, and two aliens flew out of it..." Bulma gestured excitedly as she vividly explained, "I knew it! The universe is so vast, there have to be aliens out there."

Briefs: "..."

Then Briefs turned to look at Luo Tian.

"Father, who is he? Your illegitimate son?" Bulma pointed at Luo Tian and asked Briefs.

Briefs silently wiped away his sweat.

Luo Tian also covered his forehead, speechless for a moment.

What kind of thing was this little girl saying?

"Eh? Father, what's that huge thing behind you? Is it some new technology you just developed?" Bulma blinked her bright eyes and quickly noticed the spaceship behind her father.

As she spoke, Bulma ran over and touched the spaceship's exterior with her soft little hand.

"What a strange material... Father, what kind of material is this? How come I've never seen anything like it?" Bulma asked curiously. "Is it some new alloy you developed?"

"This is my daughter, Bulma..." Briefs hurriedly introduced her to Luo Tian. "She's just a child and doesn't know any better. I hope you won't take offense."

"It's fine, it's fine." Luo Tian smiled indifferently. "Looks like she's about the same age as me."

"Huh? You... Are you only five years old this year?" Briefs pushed up his glasses in surprise and stared at Luo Tian without blinking.

"Yeah." Luo Tian nodded.

"Ahem... That's incredible. You came out traveling when you were only five?" Briefs gave a bitter smile, his eyes filled with boundless admiration.

"Father, what are you talking about?" Bulma looked curious, glancing from Luo Tian to her father Briefs.

"Bulma, if I'm not mistaken, he's the alien you were just talking about..." Briefs said with a smile.

Bulma froze on the spot, her eyes widening in utter disbelief.
