Seeing that Brief seemed quite pleased with him, Son Gohan offered a few flattering remarks before beginning to sound him out.
"Actually, besides coming to visit you with Bulma, I also hoped to ask for your help."
"I'm a martial artist, and because of my training, I often need to work out while carrying weights."
"But wearing weights all the time is rather uncomfortable."
He kept finding different ways to express what he wanted.
"I wanted to ask whether, with the technology you have now, you could make me a training room that increases gravity."
To be honest, he was quite hesitant. In the original story, the gravity chamber had not appeared until many years later.
The Earth of the Dragon Ball universe back then was worlds apart from the Earth of today. It was hardly an iteration; the gap was practically generational!
He had no idea whether it could be built with Earth's current level of technology.
Even making the chamber airtight would be a major challenge.
After hearing what Son Gohan wanted, Dr. Brief stroked his beard and began to think.
When he saw that the doctor hadn't turned him down outright, Son Gohan couldn't help feeling hopeful.
If he could train in a high-gravity environment, his combat power would surely make a qualitative leap in a short time!
"That's actually a pretty good idea! I haven't researched anything like that before, though, so it'll take some time if I'm going to make one."
After thinking it over and seeing the expectant look in Son Gohan's eyes, Brief ultimately didn't reject him outright.
"How about this? After dinner, I'll go to the lab and look through the materials. If I can find suitable components, it shouldn't be too difficult."
"Then thank you very much, Uncle!"
Son Gohan bowed
