In the spacious living room of the Capsule House, Bikini warmly poured Kairos some juice and plain water, and brought out a few snacks as well.
Briefs sat in the seat of honor and lit a cigarette for himself.
After hearing Kairos's request, Briefs said somewhat helplessly, "You want me to improve and upgrade your Spaceship based on its current design. Do you really have that much faith that I can do it? To be honest, while I have dabbled in aerospace and take pride in having a genius mind, I've never worked with a Spaceship before. I'm afraid I may be willing but unable. If the Spaceship were merely malfunctioning, I could try repairing it... After all, the technology your Spaceship possesses has already far surpassed Earth's current technological level..."
Briefs's words were sincere and straightforward.
Even if he wanted to use this opportunity to study the Spaceship, he still had to make things clear.
Kairos pondered slightly upon hearing this.
In truth, Kairos had more or less realized that with Earth's current technology, there was no way Briefs could build a new Spaceship in a short time.
That was why he had only suggested modifications.
After all, it was only Age 737, and Earth's technological level truly was very low.
The next decade or two would be Earth's period of fastest technological development.
Therefore, to truly manufacture a new type of Spaceship like those in the future would require years of accumulation at the very least.
Even modifying the Spaceship would require giving Briefs enough time to study it.
Kairos had already made up his mind. As long as Briefs did not dismantle the Spaceship into a pile of irreparable parts, he would let him study it.
So Kairos revealed his true thoughts.
Hearing how much trust Kairos placed in him, and how high his expectations were, Briefs was indeed somewhat flattered.
But with things having reached this point, he had no reason to refuse.
Besides, he did not want to refuse. He had long been eager to get his hands on alien technology.
As long as any part of a Spaceship's technology could be thoroughly researched and adapted, it would be of enormous help to revolutionizing Earth's technology.
If Earth wanted to advance technologically at a faster pace, this Spaceship could allow it to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
And so, after reaching this agreement with Briefs, Kairos naturally stayed there.
He had Tights to thank for that, since she had taken the initiative to ask where Kairos was currently living.
Kairos naturally told her the truth.
Considering that Kairos was an alien, and although he possessed incomparably powerful strength and could fly, he was still only a ten-year-old child. After discussing it, Briefs and Bikini took the initiative to ask Kairos to stay.
Officially, it was so he could help Briefs understand the Spaceship more quickly.
Sometimes, all it really took was enough sincerity to avoid a great deal of trouble and suspicion.
And so, day after day passed.
After Kairos moved into Briefs's home, he helped Briefs understand the Spaceship's core while also learning some basic knowledge from Briefs.
At the same time, he conveyed some of his own ideas and insights to Briefs through indirect descriptions, allowing him to learn in advance about the future direction of technological development.
With the help of the Eye of Insight, Kairos not only had an extremely strong learning ability, but could often grasp things the moment they were explained.
Thus, Briefs thought extremely highly of Kairos. After all, he was such a genius at such a young age.
Kairos knew perfectly well that he was only relying on the Eye of Insight. Otherwise, he would be nowhere near even the current Bulma.
During the research process, not only did his relationship with Briefs gradually grow closer, but his relationships with Bulma and Tights also improved more and more.
Since Kairos was the oldest, Tights and Bulma naturally began calling him Big Brother Kairos.
Naturally, Kairos was delighted by this.
Half a month later.
In Bulma's backyard.
[Ding!!!] [Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing five million Push-ups.] [Common-tier Achievement attained: Five Million Push-ups!] [Common-tier Achievement Reward obtained: Battle Power increased by 5 million points!]
Upon hearing the system notification, the corners of Kairos's lips curled upward.
As the battle power awarded by the system entered his body, Kairos's battle power finally surpassed the ten-million-point threshold!
In recent days, aside from not truly training during the first few days, over the following ten days, Kairos had gradually resumed cultivating for Achievement rewards while following Briefs around and broadening his horizons.
For example, fifty thousand Push-ups a day was the bare minimum.
The reason he had achieved the five-million-Push-up Achievement so quickly was that he had already accumulated four and a half million Push-ups.
At fifty thousand per day, ten days made five hundred thousand, bringing the total to exactly five million.
Kairos's battle power had now reached 13,257,600 points.
It was worth mentioning that aside from what he gained through his own cultivation and the five-million-point battle power reward, Kairos had also completed quite a few other Achievements.
Otherwise, his battle power could not have risen to its current level.
Under the Four-Body Fist, having four bodies train at once was indeed effective. Not only did the training results multiply, but he could also work toward four achievements at the same time, earning even more rewards.
Although the burden was greater as well, Kairos could endure it.
Punching, kicking, and Sit-ups—fifty thousand of each every day!
Over ten days, that came to five hundred thousand repetitions!
There were three achievements, each rewarding 888,880 battle power points!
Added together, that was 2,666,640 points.
Thus, the achievement rewards he had gained over these ten days totaled a full 7,666,640 points. The additional ninety thousand or so battle power came from the various training performed by his four bodies. Most importantly, three bodies had been cultivating and comprehending ki at the same time.
After finishing today's training, Kairos did not continue using the Four-Body Fist as he had in the past, leaving three bodies to train while one observed Briefs's research.
There was still plenty of time today, and Kairos planned to do something he had wanted to do for a long time.
By now, his relationship with the Briefs family had become quite good, and the Spaceship research was on track.
So next, he intended to seek out the renowned martial artists of Earth in this era: Master Roshi, Master Shen, Tao Pai Pai, Grandpa Gohan, Ox-King, and the others.
After all, increasing his strength was not merely about raising his battle power. He also needed to absorb more combat experience and learn more things.
Even if Earth's martial artists were generally limited in strength, even if Master Roshi at this time was actually only so-so, Kairos still had to find them for the sake of the system achievement rewards alone.
The skill-draw opportunities would make up for his weakness in skills.
Even if he only drew support skills, they would still be useful tools.
