Seeing Bulma proudly announce her three measurements, Sun Mo's expression stiffened as he said, "Uh, not bad!"
Seeing that Sun Mo didn't seem particularly moved, Bulma blinked.
She thrust out her proud figure again and retorted, "What's the deal? A girl this pretty, and that's all you've got?"
The corner of Sun Mo's mouth twitched as he replied with a hint of tsundere, "What, want me to give you an award?"
Seeing Sun Mo's slightly tsundere reaction, Bulma's lips curled into a sly smile.
"Oh, hehehehe, I get it... you must be shy!"
Sun Mo immediately cleared his throat twice and said seriously, "Cut it out. I don't like frivolous women!"
Seeing Sun Mo's slightly stiff expression, Bulma felt secretly pleased.
"Hee hee hee hee, such a hard mouth. Looks like he's been charmed by this lady's beauty too!"
She immediately stopped her teasing gestures and straightened her appearance.
Then, with anticipation, she said, "Don't worry, that was just me being a little too enthusiastic. This lady is no frivolous woman.
So, can we go on a date now?"
Sun Mo shook his head again.
"No can do. I still have to keep training. I don't have time for romance."
"Training?"
"Yeah, working out, martial arts, getting stronger!" Sun Mo explained.
Bulma immediately sized up Sun Mo's physique.
Though he wasn't as bulky as those gym muscleheads, she could tell his whole body showed signs of training.
Little did he know, girls didn't like muscle-bound brutes—they preferred his lean, toned build.
Taking a closer look, through his thin clothes, she could faintly make out his eight-pack abs, and Bulma liked him even more.
What girl wouldn't want to lie on a set of eight-pack abs...
Blushing, Bulma turned aside shyly and said, "No wonder you've got such a great body. So you've been training all along..."
She couldn't let this dream guy slip away.
She immediately looked at Sun Mo and said seriously, "It's fine. If you go out with me, I promise I won't interfere with your training.
In fact, I can even provide you with high-end training equipment, maybe even build you a gym.
Plus, I can wipe your sweat and hand you water while you work out..."
Imagining seeing Sun Mo shirtless all the time, Bulma swallowed hard.
Watching their exchange, Goku looked confused.
"Sun Mo, what are you two talking about?"
"How come I don't understand any of it?"
Sun Mo explained, "It's nothing you need to worry about. That's stuff you think about when you're older."
"Oh!" Son Goku nodded, looking somewhat relieved.
With that, Sun Mo turned back to Bulma and said, "If you don't interfere with my training, going out with you isn't out of the question.
But before that, I have a question."
Hearing that he might actually agree, Bulma was ecstatic.
It was as if she already had the perfect boyfriend.
She quickly said, "Ask away. As long as you're my boyfriend, I'll give you anything!"
Sun Mo thought carefully for a moment and asked, "Can you build a Gravity Chamber right now?"
His training progress was slow mainly because Earth's gravity was too low.
Carrying ten times gravity worth of weights was too bulky—moving around would be slower than a turtle.
He didn't need anything too extreme. If he could just build a Gravity Chamber with ten times gravity, training in it for a year would skyrocket his strength.
"Gravity Chamber?"
Bulma blinked in surprise.
"What's that?"
Demand creates products. No one on Earth needed something like that, so even Bulma at this stage had never heard of the concept.
Sun Mo understood that the Gravity Chamber was something Goku proposed later after experiencing training on King Kai's Planet.
Only with experience could ideas form, and only then could scientists build it.
He immediately explained, "A Gravity Chamber is a special steel room. Using scientific techniques, you can adjust the gravity multiplier inside."
For example, the gravity inside could be increased to ten times or even a hundred times that of Earth..."
Bulma asked in surprise, "What's the point of that?"
"Of course there's a point!"
Sun Mo explained, "Training under high-gravity conditions can speed up growth and improve training efficiency!"
Bulma's eyes lit up with understanding.
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
"Let me think... it should be possible, but..."
There seemed to be some tricky problem, but Bulma was a genius who could later build a Time Machine.
Even though she was still young now, Sun Mo believed this kind of tech was definitely within her reach, and he couldn't help looking at her with anticipation.
After a moment of thought, Bulma's expression turned serious.
"If it's ten times gravity, your weight in there would be nearly a ton, let alone a hundred times. Your body wouldn't be able to handle it, right?"
Sun Mo felt hopeful, his face brightening noticeably.
"Don't worry about my body's durability. I'll just increase it gradually. So, can you make a Gravity Chamber?"
Bulma pondered, "But if that's the case, I wouldn't be able to train with you. I can't handle even a few times the gravity..."
Hearing Sun Mo and Bulma's conversation, Son Goku's face lit up.
He looked at Bulma and asked eagerly, "Can you really make something like that?"
Bulma glanced at Wukong and nodded. "Theoretically, yes, but I've never studied it before. It'll take time."
Wukong said excitedly, "That's great if you can make it.
Don't worry about training with Sun Mo—I'll train in there with him instead..."
Bulma's mouth twitched.
"Kid, go play somewhere else. Is that what I meant?"
Wukong looked at her innocently and asked, "Then what did you mean?"
Bulma put her hands on her hips. "You're such a nuisance, kid. Go play somewhere else. Adults are talking—don't butt in!"
Just then, Wukong noticed the Dragon Ball Bulma was carrying.
Since they were close to the Dragon Ball on the mountaintop, hers was pulsing with light, and Wukong was startled.
He immediately tugged Sun Mo and shouted, "Sun Mo, don't trust her—she's a thief.
Look, she stole Grandpa's ball!"
Misunderstood as a thief, Bulma flared up. "Who are you calling a thief? I'm the second young miss of Capsule Corp—why would I steal?"
Wukong shouted back, "Deny it all you want, but you're a thief! Give that ball back, or I won't go easy on you!"
Sun Mo quickly stopped Wukong and said, "Calm down, Wukong. That ball isn't Grandpa's. She's not a thief.
Look closely—her ball only has two stars."
"It doesn't?"
Prompted by Sun Mo, Wukong looked at the Dragon Ball again and spotted the stars on it.
"Huh, it really is different!
You're really observant. I was wrong.
Grandpa's ball has four stars, and hers only has two."
Bulma immediately realized that the Dragon Ball she was looking for was at their house.
She held the ball up and said, "Looks like I came to the right place. You have a Dragon Ball at home too!"
Sun Mo nodded.
"Yeah, I have a Four-Star Ball at home."
Just then, Wukong's stomach growled twice.
Sun Mo quickly explained to Bulma, "Oh, right, I just remembered—I came down the mountain to call Wukong back for dinner.
Since you're here, why don't you join us?
We caught a bear today, so I can treat you to a bear paw!"
