Birthday Banquet
"Master, is this the legendary paradise?" Arlis breathed in the air of the Sub-God Realm with delight; the rich natural atmosphere made the Vine Race especially happy.
The Sub-God Realm is close to the Supreme Kai World, and the natural energy there is absolutely incomparable to that of planets in the lower realms. The Vine Race Maiden, being naturally close to nature, thought she had entered paradise.
"It's not heaven, but it's close. Just think of it as the God Realm."
Roland shook his head. That Heaven was merely a place where Otherworld heroes lived; in terms of natural atmosphere, the Sub-God Realm was far more abundant. Upon hearing that their master had actually brought them to the God Realm, the Vine Race Maiden were surprised and filled with reverence, and they were filled with worship for their master.
Being looked at with adoration by a group of beautiful girls, Roland naturally enjoyed it. Pointing to a patch of green plants in the distance, he said to Arlis and the others, "See those plants over there? Your task from now on is to take care of those Senzu Bean, watering them with Sacred Water every day... These Senzu Bean are very precious, so you must take good care of them."
Roland wanted to tell them how to care for the Senzu Bean, but then she remembered that they were already skilled at it, so she didn't continue.
"I understand, Master," Arlis said in a clear and melodious voice.
After speaking, she bowed slightly to Roland and then joined the other Vine Race Maiden to check on the growth of the Senzu Bean. These Vine Race were naturally skilled in plant cultivation. Although they weren't very strong, they had no problem establishing Senzu Bean plantation with the help of machinery. After handing over several hundred Senzu Bean to Arlis and watching her and her tribesmen get to work, Roland nodded.
Arlis's planting techniques are clearly far more advanced than his; with them tending and managing the Senzu Bean plantation, the yield will undoubtedly be much higher than if he were to grow it himself.
After setting up the necessary facilities for Arlis and the others in an open space and leaving some supplies, Roland greeted them and left the Sub-God Realm under their admiring gazes.
Meanwhile, to the east of the North Galaxy.
Dr. Ruka arrived in the sphere of influence of the Eastern Planet Makyo in a small spacecraft and made contact with an alien named "Jagger".
"These are samples of powerful life forms that Lord Second has prepared for you. They are all from some of the more powerful races in the universe, enough for your research. However, Dr. Ruka, you must fulfill your promise to Lord Second as soon as possible and develop a life-extending potion!"
The alien Jagger had packed dozens of grotesque alien corpses into Hoi-Poi Capsule, and now these blank Hoi-Poi Capsule were being sold throughout the North Galaxy.
Dr. Ruka carefully put away the Capsule, keeping it close to his body as if it were a precious possession, and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Mr. Jagger, I will definitely develop the medicine for His Second as soon as possible."
"Yes, keep it in mind. You should go back soon. The eastern region has been quite unstable lately. By the way, I'll contact you privately from now on. Don't reveal your relationship with the Planet Makyo casually," Jagger suddenly said.
Dr. Ruka paused for a moment, then asked, "Has something happened?"
Jagger said, "Recently, the Ginyu Force has been constantly harassing the territory of the Planet Makyo. Although they were repelled by Lord Second, the conflict between the Planet Makyo and Frieza Force is becoming increasingly intense."
Dr. Ruka was taken aback. "Frieza Force? That's no small force!"
"It's alright. As long as Frieza doesn't personally intervene, neither Frieza Force nor the so-called Ginyu Force are a match for Lord Second. You know, Lord Second's friend, Mr. Dore, has also come to the Planet Makyo. That gentleman's strength is in no way inferior to Lord Second's."
Jagger spoke without any concern, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
It's worth noting that both Garlic Jr. and Mr. Dore possess strength approaching 200,000, so the mere Ginyu Force is naturally no match for them. The only question is the strength of their leader, Frieza. It's said that Frieza's ship is already heading towards the Planet Makyo, but given King Garlic Jr.'s strength, combined with Mr. Dore's, they should be able to repel Frieza.
Dr. Ruka, unaware of the details, lowered his head as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
"In that case, I'd better be careful." After some thought, Dr. Ruka decided to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
"If you need anything for your research in the future, please contact me," Jagger said.
"Of course, we also need your support!"
Dr. Ruka laughed heartily, then bid farewell to the alien Jagger and departed in his spacecraft with his findings.
He needed to rush back to his research institute immediately to study these precious life materials; as for the conflict on the Planet Makyo, he didn't want to get involved.
"It seems the forces on Planet Makyo aren't very stable either. If Frieza Legion gets involved, a major battle might break out here soon. Could I perhaps gather some special materials from it? Wait, I'd better not get involved myself..." On the way back, Dr. Ruka pondered this, and finally decided to develop an unmanned collector specifically for collecting the flesh and blood of powerful creatures on the cosmic battlefield.
Earth.
After returning from the Sub-God Realm, Roland went back to Space Island to continue assisting Sephiria in mastering the power of Mimicry. At this time, he received a communication from Dr. Brief.
It turned out to be Tights's birthday, Dr. Brief was throwing a birthday party for Tights. Knowing that Roland were on Space Island, he specially invited them to attend.
"You can go by yourself. I need to cultivate. Oh, and bring me some good food when you come back." Sephiria wasn't interested in the birthday party, but she didn't forget the delicious food on Earth.
"Understood." Roland nodded to Sephiria, gently tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear, and teleported away.
At this time, the Earth was in winter. When Roland arrived in the West City, he found the land covered in silver. The tall buildings and the sides of the roads were covered with a thick layer of white snow. Diligent snow-clearing robots were clearing the snow along the roads, and the splashed snowflakes were piling up on both sides.
A biting wind howled, and strings of icicles hung from the doorframes.
Roland walked along the wide streets of West City. Perhaps because the winter temperature was so low, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and even fewer cars than usual.
They arrived at Tights's home in the center of the West City with ease. A girl with light purple hair, about fifteen or sixteen years old, opened the door. She had extremely delicate features and bright blue-purple eyes. Although she did not have Tights's mature and pretty temperament, she was still a rare beauty.
"Long time no see, Bulma!" Roland greeted her with a smile.
Bulma tilted her head slightly, looking curiously at the handsome man in front of her.
Who are you?
"Ah, it's Roland!" Tights's clear and cheerful voice rang out, and she quickly pulled Roland towards the villa.
"Roland?!"
Bulma shook her head. It had been six or seven years since they last met, and she had long forgotten about Roland, especially since Roland was now an adult.
