Gohan: Can you teach me to fly?

A single breakfast made Lin Chuan realize once again what it truly meant to be alive.

If he were still on Planet V3114, while getting enough to eat wouldn't have been a problem, the food certainly wouldn't have been as good as this.

The sheer freshness and variety of the food simply couldn't compare.

Recalling the past, Lin Chuan remembered how miserable that period was when he had first arrived on Planet V3114.

If not for the months of compressed food rations stored inside the spaceship, combined with the fact that he was a transmigrator who knew how to forage for food in desperate survival situations, he would have been dead long ago.

It must be said that he was extremely lucky, because even though that planet's civilization hadn't entered the spacefaring age, it had already developed to a level similar to Earth's.

Especially in their research regarding food storage.

Just look at how those foods were processed to have a shelf life of decades without spoiling; it was truly impressive.

Unfortunately, while they were exceptional in that regard, they were incredibly lackluster in every other aspect.

Lin Chuan only learned later, through special methods involving the planet's surviving video recordings and various data, that because Planet V3114 was a world plagued by disasters, the planet's scientists had cast everything else aside to dedicate themselves to researching how to stockpile more food.

Simply put, as the celestial body orbited, the planet would suffer a minor disaster every ten years and a major one every hundred years.

Over time, the indigenous people of the planet realized that food was their most essential survival necessity.

Thus, they developed terrifyingly large food reserves and advanced methods for food preservation.

Even after Lin Chuan had eaten it for over twenty years, he had only consumed a drop in the bucket of the remaining food reserves. One must realize that this so-called "remnant" was what remained after the planet had been struck by a meteorite.

In summary, it was a very tragic civilization.

They thought that by relying on their food reserves, they could survive disaster after disaster, but they completely ignored the threats from outer space.

Without the protection of other technological forces, the power of living beings was incredibly fragile.

A massive meteorite hundreds of kilometers wide struck the planet directly, overturning the entire civilization in one fell swoop.

Even those who hid underground didn't leave a single survivor.

Waking from his memories, Lin Chuan pulled his thoughts back.

After exchanging a few words with Bulma and Son Gohan, they went together to the open space in the nearby backyard.

The vast courtyard, which also connected to a garden, was a truly excellent place for training.

Of course, Lin Chuan was only doing warm-up exercises; he wouldn't act recklessly. Otherwise, if he were to unleash his power here, everything beautiful would be destroyed.

Bulma did not stay long. After giving a few instructions, she went off to busy herself with other matters.

The spaceship needed to be studied and repaired.

Bulma also needed to master this alien technology.

Furthermore, many of the operations at Capsule Corporation had already begun to be handled solely by her.

Her being busy was a good thing for Lin Chuan, as he also needed some peace and quiet to think about his future plans.

Originally, he should have finished mapping this out last night, but he had simply fallen asleep.

Of course, Lin Chuan already had some preliminary ideas.

In short, now that he was living at Bulma's house, he didn't have to worry about any other trivial matters.

He had already told Bulma yesterday about repairing and building spaceships.

She hadn't guaranteed that she could definitely do it, but Lin Chuan knew she certainly would, and in the shortest time possible.

Then there was the Gravity Training Room, which Lin Chuan had brought up while eating breakfast earlier.

Bulma had never thought about or researched this aspect before.

Now that it had been proposed, she became interested. She didn't say she could definitely build it, but Lin Chuan knew it would be a piece of cake for her.

It should be known that although it was Dr. Brief who first created the 100x gravity environment and integrated it with the spaceship in the original story, Bulma was, if anything, even more capable than Dr. Brief.

Even if she encountered a bottleneck, Dr. Brief wouldn't just sit by and not help.

Simply put, Lin Chuan understood the importance of taking things step by step.

After all, scientific breakthroughs, much like the improvement of one's strength, require time to slowly accumulate.

In the courtyard.

With no one else around, only Lin Chuan and Son Gohan remained.

Because he knew that Son Gohan at this age hadn't even undergone basic training, Lin Chuan couldn't just jump straight into teaching him anything.

Having Son Gohan watch from the side, Lin Chuan simply stretched his body and performed some warm-up exercises to fully familiarize himself with his current level of strength.

What he did was nothing more than simple punches, kicks, and a series of basic training movements.

As for combat techniques, he only displayed them slightly.

To be honest, in terms of hand-to-hand combat and various melee fighting styles, even though Lin Chuan had explored and practiced them himself, and had mastered quite a few, he felt he hadn't reached a high level of proficiency yet; he was just average.

After all, on Planet V3114, although Lin Chuan had been training consistently, he had no real opponents, so his combat experience was truly lacking.

Without sufficient combat experience, there were significant limitations to the improvement of his own martial arts.

This was an area Lin Chuan would need to hone and strengthen in the future; it was something the System could not bestow upon him.

Hovering in the void, Lin Chuan slowly let out a breath.

After a full twenty minutes of activity and venting, Lin Chuan had gained a much clearer understanding.

His own strength had reached over 110,000 under the System's enhancements, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit out of control.

On the contrary, the increase in combat power felt as if it had been gained through his own cultivation.

"With that worry gone for the time being, I won't need to spend too much energy on practicing control in the future," Lin Chuan muttered to himself, constantly making plans.

If he couldn't control his power, he would inevitably have to spend a vast amount of time on it.

However, proficiency was still a must. No matter how awesome the System was, he still had to develop muscle memory himself.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chuan slowly descended and finally landed steadily on the ground.

Before he could say anything, Son Gohan, who was standing to the side, walked up impatiently, his small eyes filled with longing.

"Uncle Lin Chuan, can... can you teach me how to fly?" Son Gohan's words caught Lin Chuan by surprise.

The kid being this proactive was completely unexpected.

In the original story, his perception of Son Gohan at this age was that he was timid and cowardly, unwilling to try new things.

The fact that he had taken the initiative to ask to learn how to fly—even if it wasn't about learning how to fight and get stronger—was still a breakthrough.

That's right! How could I have forgotten? In the Majin Buu arc of the original story, Son Gohan teaches Videl how to condense her Ki to learn the Flight Technique. I can totally copy that.

It works out perfectly, since the kid wants to learn the Flight Technique himself.

A flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and this temporarily solved the problem regarding Son Gohan.

After all, simply guiding his own Ki and learning to control it to master the Flight Technique would be enough to keep him busy practicing for a long time.

During this period, he could carry out his own training and wait for Bulma to finish building the spaceship and the Gravity Training Room.

Having made his decision, Lin Chuan smiled slightly.

"To be honest, I'm very surprised that you took the initiative to ask me! Gohan, I can sense that you have terrifying potential within you, it's just that you haven't been able to draw it out."

"Even though you are still very young, only four years old! You must understand that we Saiyans are different from Earthlings!"

"For the next little while, I will guide you on how to train. And if you want to learn how to fly, you must first learn how to control your Ki!"
