Gohan is going on a space journey?

"I can lend you the Scouters, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to read the characters on them."

Seeing Bulma's reaction, Lin Chuan knew his bait had worked, and he didn't forget to add one more thing.

The Scouters used exclusively by the Frieza Force displayed text and numerical information that was completely different from the characters and numbers on Earth.

Lin Chuan could read them, but that was entirely due to the cultural information contained within his Saiyan heritage.

Although he hadn't seen the text of this world's Earth, the original story had mentioned this detail. Strictly speaking, in the original work, Raditz's Scouter would have displayed nothing but gibberish to the people of Earth.

It was only later that Bulma modified the Scouter's input, converting the text and numerical data so that it could be understood.

"What's the big deal? If it's just a small problem like that, leave it to me. As long as the equipment isn't overly complex, give me a little time, and I can modify the language module to work with our Earth systems." Bulma's words were light and decisive.

It was clear just how confident she was in herself.

"Are you sure?" Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"What, are you questioning my abilities? I am the number one genius beauty on Earth!" Bulma, who had always been competitive, would not allow her expertise to be doubted.

Therefore, she decided right then and there that she had to get this done; otherwise, she would be looked down upon.

"Hmph! So, that means what you said earlier about building a spaceship was true? If that's the case, then that's even better. Come with me, and while you're at it, help me repair the damage to my spaceship." Lin Chuan followed up on Bulma's words.

Repair the spaceship?

As the topic shifted to this, Bulma was slightly stunned, and the others reacted soon after.

If it weren't for this invasion business, and the Saiyan invasion looming in a year, helping an extraterrestrial friend repair a spaceship wouldn't be a big deal.

But these were extraordinary times.

"I'm willing to help you, but I can only give you a definite answer on whether I can repair it once I've seen the ship..." Bulma didn't fully commit. She continued, "By the way, you aren't planning on having me fix your ship, making your wish, and then just taking off, are you?"

I have to say, she really is a clever one.

She certainly has a sharp mind to have thought of that.

"Rest assured. Although I just arrived on Earth, I don't dislike this planet, so I will be living here for some time to come. Repairing the spaceship is only to facilitate my future space travel; after all, I can't stay on Earth forever. I have my own things to do."

"By the way, I have a proposal. Since you're such a genius, if you could create a superior spaceship capable of carrying multiple people, I could take you along on my space travels."

"With a technician like you by my side, I won't have to worry about the ship breaking down without anyone to fix it."

Lin Chuan responded to Bulma's skepticism.

He used an alternative approach to hint at his intentions, making it easier to subtly influence Bulma into building things for him in the future.

"Space travel, huh? Now that I think about it, if I had made the same choice as my sister back then, maybe..." Her voice trailed off, and a flash of disappointment crossed Bulma's eyes.

She recalled her childhood, when her sister Tights ran away from home, leaving Earth to travel the universe with a Galactic Patrolman named Jaco.

She remembered that the last time they were in contact was a very, very long time ago.

Now that she was all grown up, she truly never expected that one day, she would have the opportunity to travel through space herself.

"Um... if there's a trip to space... can... can I go too..." Suddenly, a timid and delicate voice rang out amidst the tense atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound; who else could it be but Son Gohan?

The little guy actually dared to go on a space voyage.

If you called him timid, he certainly was.

But if you called him bold, he was truly bold, not even fearing that he might never return.

"Gohan, you're still too young. That's a very dangerous idea." Krillin, standing to the side, seemed worried that Son Goku's child might be led astray, so he spoke up to stop him.

There was even a hint of a lecture in his tone.

He was conservative and stubborn in his thinking.

Having never experienced space travel himself, he was quite rigid in this regard.

Thinking back to the original story, it was Gohan who eventually boarded the spaceship to Planet Namek, which served to open up his worldview.

Nearby, Master Roshi remained silent as he watched Son Gohan, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with a thought-provoking look.

With his seasoned insight, he had determined that as long as this son of Goku's disciple was guided properly, his future achievements would be limitless.

"If you're scared yourself, don't go scaring a child!" Bulma stepped forward to cut off Krillin's fear-mongering style of education, saying immediately, "What's wrong with wanting to travel in space? Isn't it just leaving Earth? It's a good thing Gohan has this idea; it shows he wants to see a wider world."

"Besides, our little Gohan's goal for the future is to become a scholar. Don't limit his thinking."

As Bulma's voice trailed off, she looked at Son Gohan with eyes full of praise.

A four-year-old child—he was much braver and more mature than she had been at that age.

Even though she was a girl...

Scolded by Bulma, Krillin felt incredibly awkward.

Son Gohan spoke up again at this moment: "Aunt Bulma, I just thought that if there were a spaceship, I'd like to go into outer space to see what Earth looks like. I also want to see Jupiter, Mars, the Sun... and many, many other planets..."

In that childish voice, there was nothing but a mysterious longing for the sea of stars, with not a shred of fear.

It was clear that people of the new generation and people of the old generation were fundamentally different.

"If your Aunt Bulma can really build a spaceship for multiple people, your wish isn't impossible to realize," Lin Chuan chimed in at this moment.

This kid was quite the unexpected assist, unknowingly helping him land a perfect combination.

This also meant that without Lin Chuan having to say a word, Bulma had already taken it to heart.

Given Bulma's way of thinking, she had likely already realized that if Earth lacked spaceships and Earthlings couldn't venture into the universe, they would forever lag behind the aliens.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin Chuan," Son Gohan said, bowing politely in gratitude.

His actions actually made Lin Chuan feel a bit embarrassed.

This kid was truly kind and innocent to a fault.

"Then, without further ado, I really must trouble you, Lord Lin Chuan."

"As the Kami of Earth, I sincerely thank you for being able to help us," Kami Piccolo said, stepping forward.

He was essentially urging him on.

Given his current state of mind, he was flustered and very anxious.

Therefore, even though Son Goku's son, Son Gohan, had such a bold idea, he chose to ignore it.

After all, it wouldn't come true in the short term anyway.

He had no way of knowing that what he was ignoring would become the strongest individual in the future.

"I've already said it, I'm only doing this for myself." Lin Chuan didn't take Kami Piccolo's gesture of goodwill to heart.
