"Piccolo!"
Mr. Popo called out, and a section of the floor beneath Kami's house descended.
Every time he came before, Kami would go inside to check, so Popo had memorized the entrance passage's code.
"Wow, it's even voice-activated. This alien technology really is advanced."
Bulma said with an admiring tone.
If Earth's technology were as good as the aliens', they would have built a spaceship long ago. Would there still be any need to come searching for an alien ship?
In the end, it all came down to one thing: Earth was just too backward.
"Bulma, stop sighing. Let's go inside and take a look."
Son Gohan and Popo jumped onto the fallen piece of the spaceship, reaching out a hand to call to Bulma.
Hearing this, Bulma extended her hand, and Son Gohan pulled her up.
Then Popo called out "Piccolo," and like an elevator, it sent them inside the structure. Instantly, all the lights inside lit up.
"There's nothing in here? Is this really a spaceship? Fly, then! Show me you can fly!"
Bulma took in the entire interior at a glance. Everything was battered and worn, just like a house.
Inside, there was only one chair and something that looked like a spaceship control panel. She called out a few times toward the control area, but there was no response at all.
It was very likely this spaceship was also voice-activated, but the language was a barrier.
She recalled that when Kami fought Piccolo, they communicated in the Namekian language.
"Mr. Popo, use the Namekian language to tell the spaceship to fly near Jupiter and take a look."
Son Gohan was seeing a spaceship for the first time, and he found it quite novel.
In his previous world, the fastest mode of transport was an airplane. Now he wanted to test the speed of this spaceship.
Popo muttered a string of Namekian words at the spaceship, a language neither of the other two could understand.
Instantly, the thing that seemed to be the control panel lit up and also rattled off something in Namekian.
"Good grief, it really is voice-activated? What did it say?"
Bulma's eyes suddenly lit up. Popo could actually understand the Namekian language.
"It means it understands," Popo explained.
Suddenly, the spaceship shot into the sky at an extremely fast speed. Everyone was pressed against the floor of the spaceship—the acceleration was simply too violent.
"Ah, what's going on? Why doesn't this spaceship even have seatbelts?"
Bulma screamed in fright. Because the ascent was so fast, all three of them were lying flat on the spaceship's floor.
Half an incense stick's time later, the spaceship pierced through Earth's atmosphere and stopped near Jupiter.
So this is space? It's incredible? And that's our home, Earth?
Inside the spaceship, Bulma and the others stood up, staring in shock at the scene before them. Earth looked like a basketball floating in front of them.
Son Gohan was also in space for the first time. Seeing this sight, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"Yes! We finally succeeded. This really is a spaceship. Now we can go to Namek, find the Dragon Balls, and revive Kami."
Popo wept for joy, pulling out a white handkerchief to wipe the tears streaming from his eyes.
He was just too excited. They had finally found a spaceship.
"This spaceship is way too outdated. The control method needs to be modified too. It should take about ten days."
After the three of them had marveled for a while, Bulma said to Popo and Son Gohan.
This spaceship was far too shabby. There was nothing inside. She planned to remodel it into a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout, plus a bathroom and everything else.
"No problem. We also need to prepare. Could you call and let my mom and dad know? I'm going to train with Popo."
Son Gohan said it was fine. He also asked Bulma to inform his family of his whereabouts.
Bulma and her father, Doctor, researched and modified the spaceship together.
After sending the spaceship and Bulma back to Capsule Corp headquarters in West City, the two took their leave of Bulma's family and departed.
"Popo, I want to train with you for a while, and then go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's Lookout."
Son Gohan said as he sat on Popo's flying carpet. Popo's strength was unfathomable. In the anime, he could even fight against Gotenks.
If he fought him, would it drop even more Battle Power attribute points?
He wanted to use these ten days to train and further elevate his strength.
Even with the system's help, he didn't want to waste Son Gohan's excellent training talent.
He remembered that in the Majin Buu Saga of the anime, Old Kai had drawn out all of Son Gohan's potential, turning him into the legendary Gohan God!
Son Gohan could defeat Son Goku's Super Saiyan 3 without even transforming. That alone showed just how monstrous Gohan's training talent was.
Having trained hard under Piccolo's guidance since childhood, he was no stranger to hardship and hard work.
I must become a powerhouse of the Dragon Ball World, transforming into the Gohan God Super Saiyan 1 God of Destruction, Super Blue, Super Red.
"No problem. Although Mr. Popo doesn't like fighting, for the sake of reviving Kami, I agree to your request. The stronger your strength, the greater your chances of finding the Dragon Balls."
Mr. Popo quickly agreed to Son Gohan's request, though he had no idea how the boy knew about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
But none of that mattered—what mattered was being able to revive Kami!
Kami's Lookout!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two figures kept crossing paths on the plaza.
Looking closer, there was no mistake—they were Son Gohan and Mr. Popo.
[Ki control and usage attribute dropped ahead.]
[Battle Power attribute +10 and Battle Power attribute +50 dropped ahead.]
The system's notification sounds kept ringing in Son Gohan's mind.
Every time the two clashed, Battle Power attributes would drop.
Seeing the Battle Power attributes scattered all over the ground, Son Gohan's heart blossomed with joy—this method of improvement was simply amazing.
The two of them spent almost every day fighting, except when eating and sleeping.
Mr. Popo was indeed a qualified sparring partner. No matter how strong Son Goku's attacks were, he could take them lying down and never felt tired.
Collect all!
Son Gohan silently commanded, and all the Battle Power attributes on the ground merged into his body.
"Dad, put a shower room here, the toilet goes here, and some speakers over there."
"Bulma, I think this layout isn't aesthetically pleasing. We should hang the speakers up to free up more space."
Far away in West City, Bulma and her father, Doctor, were researching and designing the Spaceship together. Neither of them was short on money, so they did whatever felt comfortable.
After the father and daughter agreed on the plan, they immediately began modifying and repairing the Spaceship.
