Gravity Training Room

Another thirty days passed. Krillin looked at his Battle Power and could not help frowning. In thirty days, it had increased by only fifteen thousand points. But there was nothing he could do about that. In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he had Kami's tenfold gravity suit and the chamber's own tenfold gravity. The environment had also been harsh, allowing his Battle Power to rise by seven hundred points a day. But over the past month, he had lived so comfortably that it was only natural for his Battle Power growth to slow down.

Looks like I need to ask Dr. Brief to customize a Gravity Training Room for me, Krillin thought.

As one of Earth's finest scientists, Dr. Brief would surely find building a Gravity Training Room easy. He just did not know how much it would cost. The Brief family was the richest in the world, so they probably would not charge him, right? Krillin scratched his head.

Better not be lazy. He would just fly there at full speed.

West City was bustling with traffic, highways, and holographic buildings. Judging from that alone, the Dragon Ball World was truly technologically advanced. The later Androids and the Time Machine were proof enough that Earth was also a high-tech planet. Unlike other high-tech planets, however, Earth's advanced technology was controlled by only a small number of people.

Capsule Corporation was a world-famous top-tier company. Krillin asked a passerby for directions and quickly found it.

A huge hemisphere was inverted on the ground, blending holograms with reality and brimming with technological flair. It covered several thousand acres, with an enormous capsule emblem printed on it.

"It's huge!" Krillin exclaimed. Damn, rich people really know how to live it up.

Using the intercom at the entrance, Krillin called out to Bulma. "Bulma, Bulma~!"

Before long, Bulma arrived on a flying vehicle. When Krillin spotted her, he waved and shouted, "Bulma, over here!"

Only when she came closer did Krillin properly take her in. Blue hair, eyes tinged with blue-violet, a devilishly alluring figure, and long legs beneath an ultra-short miniskirt that showed off her sexy curves.

Krillin smacked his forehead. That's right, this is the Bulma I remember.

"Ha, it's Xiaolin. What did you need me for?" Bulma asked.

"I wanted to ask your dad to help me make a Gravity Training Room."

"Is that so? Then come in."

Krillin followed Bulma inside. A rooster-like robot ran over and said, "Hello, Miss!"

Damn, this place is seriously high-tech!

Krillin followed Bulma for a while, and he had only one impression: it was like a maze. Would it kill them to make it a little smaller?

Before long, they reached the courtyard on the first floor. Exotic flowers and plants, rainbow fountains, rare animals... this...

"Bulma, what is it?" Dr. Brief asked as he walked over.

"Dad, Krillin wants you to help him make a Gravity Training Room."

"Hello, Dr. Brief. My name is Krillin, and I'm Bulma's friend."

Dr. Brief looked at Krillin. "I heard all of Bulma's friends are little runts. You don't look much like a runt, though!"

Bulma could not help feeling embarrassed, her face flushing slightly. Is he really my dad? Wait, has Krillin gotten taller...?

Dr. Brief continued, "A Gravity Training Room? Do you have any specific requirements for its construction?"

"Nothing much. I just hope you can build a Gravity Training Room that can reach at least one hundred times gravity."

Dr. Brief was startled when he heard that. "Are you kidding? One hundred times gravity? If you weigh a hundred jin, then under one hundred times gravity, 100 × 100 equals ten thousand jin. Your body won't be able to withstand it."

Krillin chuckled. "Don't worry, Dr. Brief. I'm a very strong Martial Way practitioner."

Dr. Brief nodded after hearing that. "All right, then. Come pick it up in half a month. I'll need some time."

Krillin beamed and nodded.

There were still fifteen days to go, and he had nowhere to stay. Krillin could not help feeling a little troubled. Should I stay at Bulma's house for now? Forget it. I'll just find somewhere to get by.

"Bulma, I'll be leaving first. I'll come back for the Gravity Training Room in half a month." Before Bulma could say anything, Krillin flew away. In truth, he was a little scared—not of Bulma, but of Android 18... in the future...

Bulma was speechless. "Why did he run off so fast? We haven't seen each other in ages, and he didn't even catch up with me!"

He had no choice but to make do with a five-star hotel. Do not ask why. The answer was simple: he was not short on money. Krillin thought bitterly.

Krillin arrived at a hotel with dazzling neon lights and magnificent decor. All right, this one. He happily chose it. The hotel was spotless, the rooms were laid out perfectly, elegant without losing their charm, and the service was attentive enough to make anyone feel at ease. It gave Krillin the feeling of being at home. Everything, from the grandest details to the smallest, was flawless. As for the price, naturally...

Time flowed like water, and half a month passed.

Krillin arrived at Bulma's house early. Dr. Brief was carrying out the final adjustments. He was meticulous and rigorous when he worked, making it hard to connect him with the image of that lecherous old man.

After a long while, Dr. Brief jumped down from the platform. It was finally done. He took a deep breath, looking somewhat exhausted. He had probably been busy nonstop for an entire month.

"Xiaolin, go give it a try. This Gravity Training Room doesn't just have a gravity function. It also has music, a bathroom, relaxation features..." Dr. Brief rattled on endlessly.

Krillin looked at the Gravity Training Room. It was a hemisphere inverted on the ground, about half the size of a classroom. Its exterior was made of square bricks. It was extremely sturdy and had excellent pressure resistance.

Krillin walked inside. It did not look very large from the outside, but it was quite spacious within. There was a kitchen, a bathroom, and a training area—everything was included. Then again, Hoi-Poi Capsules used spatial technology, so this Gravity Training Room must have used spatial technology as well.

Krillin walked over to the controls. There was a tablet-sized switch on the wall, with straightforward functions. The first row read Start and Stop. Below that were plus and minus buttons for adjusting the multiplier, followed by numbers that could be used to select a specific multiplier directly.

Krillin pressed Start and selected 20x Gravity. Immediately, that familiar feeling returned. The sudden increase to twenty times gravity made the surrounding air seem much heavier, though that was only an illusion. Krillin raised his Ki, and after two breaths, he adapted to twenty times gravity again. Haha, that feeling of accelerated Battle Power growth is back.

Krillin then increased the gravity further. His body grew heavier and heavier, forcing him to use more Ki to resist it. He gradually raised it to one hundred times gravity. The air around him took on a dark red hue. Krillin gathered all his Ki, but movement was still difficult. A smile appeared on his face. This was exactly the feeling he wanted.

Krillin pressed the number 1, shut down the Gravity Training Room, and walked out.

"So, Xiaolin, are you satisfied?" Dr. Brief asked with a smile, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Doctor, you're a genius. This Gravity Training Room is absolutely perfect." Compliments cost nothing, so Krillin shamelessly laid them on thick.

Sure enough, the smile on Dr. Brief's face grew even broader at Krillin's praise.

Naturally, Krillin packed the Gravity Training Room into a Hoi-Poi Capsule. As for payment... Dr. Brief said he did not care about that little bit of money. After all, Krillin was his daughter's friend.

"Dr. Brief, do you still have a Dragon Radar?" Krillin asked.

With the Gravity Training Room secured, it was time to carry out his plan step by step.

"I think there's still one at home. When I helped Goku repair his radar back then, I made one while I was at it. I'll go look for it."

A moment later...

"Here, take it."

Krillin put the Dragon Radar into his bag and happily called out to Dr. Brief, "Goodbye, Doctor."
