After bidding farewell to Master Roshi, Zhou Zilong, Bulma, and Little Goku once again set off on their adventure to find the remaining Dragon Balls, filled with anticipation.

During their journey, they passed through a prosperous and wealthy small town. The town was filled with exquisite European-style architecture, and the streets were lined with shops displaying a dazzling array of goods.

Zhou Zilong took out the six chests of gold coins and jewelry he had previously obtained from the undersea cave, deciding to exchange these treasures for currency to use during their travels.

Bulma was a natural shopaholic; the moment she saw such a bustling town, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed into the shops along the street.

Bulma picked out all sorts of novel items, from beautiful clothes to practical tools and various snacks, and her shopping cart was soon piled high with a wide variety of goods.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zilong took Little Goku to the town's bank.

Zhou Zilong handed the gold coins and jewelry to the bank staff, who, after careful appraisal, offered a substantial price—nine hundred million Dragon Ball Coins!

Zhou Zilong decided to split the money equally among the three of them, giving each person three hundred million, even though he knew Bulma was not short on cash.

After completing the deposit procedures, Zhou Zilong had an exclusive bank card made for Little Goku. The card featured a portrait of Little Goku and looked very cute. Zhou Zilong placed the card into an exquisite wallet and handed it to him.

"Goku, you can leave this bank card for your future wife to keep," Zhou Zilong said to Little Goku with a smile.

Little Goku took the wallet and curiously flipped through the bank card inside. He didn't yet understand the specific purpose of a bank card, but he could feel Zhou Zilong's care and protection for him. He nodded and carefully tucked the wallet away.

Another day on the road, sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting a glow over a quiet village. Zhou Zilong, Bulma, and Little Goku arrived at the village and walked along the road. Their footsteps echoed through the empty streets; the doors and windows of the village houses were tightly shut, as if they were completely deserted.

"That's strange, why isn't there a single person in this village?" Bulma looked around, her brows furrowed.

"Could it be that they are all still sleeping?" Little Goku blinked his eyes and said innocently.

"How could that be, you idiot!" Bulma couldn't help but retort.

She then looked at Zhou Zilong, "Zilong, what do you think is going on?"

Zhou Zilong pondered for a moment, guessing which part of the plot this village corresponded to, and then said, "Let's find a house and go inside to take a look!"

The three of them began to split up to search for a house they could enter. Before long, "Knock, knock, knock!" Little Goku found an orange door. He knocked gently, but there was no response from inside. Little Goku hesitated for a moment, then punched through the lock and pushed the door open.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Little Goku suddenly clutched his head and shouted.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Zilong and Bulma rushed over to check the situation and saw a large bump swelling on Little Goku's head.

The masterpiece of this bump was naturally the work of the house's owner. Not long after Little Goku entered, the owner had swung the Li Axe in his hand down onto Little Goku's head. Who would have thought that instead of cutting his head off, the axe would shatter upon hitting Goku, the "iron-headed kid."

"It really is useless!" the middle-aged man, whose axe was now ruined and who had a bald patch on his head, said in despair.

Little Goku, having pulled his Power Pole from his back and assumed a fighting stance, said, "What are you doing? That hurts and it's very dangerous, you know!"

"Great King Oolong, I'm sorry, I was wrong! You can take all the money and food in my house, but please, I beg you, spare my daughter!" the middle-aged man knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Zhou Zilong and Bulma looked at each other, surprised by this misunderstanding. Zhou Zilong stepped forward to help the man up and said, "We are not Great King Oolong; we are travelers passing through. May I ask what happened in this village? Why is everyone hiding in their homes?"

The middle-aged man was stunned by Zhou Zilong's words. He looked up and carefully scrutinized the three of them. Seeing that they truly had no malicious intent, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "So you are travelers passing through... Something has indeed happened in this village recently. This Great King Oolong comes to our village from time to time to demand money and food, and he also demands that the village's pretty girls become his brides. Yesterday, he said he had taken a fancy to my daughter and is coming to take her away today!"

"That Oolong is truly despicable!" After hearing the man's story, Bulma said indignantly.

"That's right! I must teach this Oolong a good lesson! I'm really looking forward to fighting him!" Little Goku clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination.

Knowing what kind of "magical character" Oolong was, Zhou Zilong spoke up: "Don't worry, this Oolong is easy to deal with. Leave it to us!"

Zhou Zilong then patted Little Goku on the shoulder and said, "Goku, this Oolong is yours. Once he arrives, you can deal with him directly!"

"Really? That's great! I get to spar with someone again!" Little Goku said excitedly.

"Can you really drive away that Great King Oolong?" After Zhou Zilong agreed to handle Oolong, another villager asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, leave it to us," Zhou Zilong said with a firm gaze, giving off a sense of reliability.

"If you can really drive away that Oolong, we will give you whatever reward you want," the villagers expressed their willingness to pay any price in exchange for the village's peace.

"No need, just give me this bead that the village has," Bulma said, holding a Dragon Ball that was emitting a faint glow.

"My radar shows that this village has this bead; this is the only reward we want," Bulma added.

"Just this? As long as you drive away Great King Oolong, I'll give it to you!" An old woman pulled a Dragon Ball similar to the one in Bulma's hand from her bosom.

It was the Six-Star Ball, one of the Dragon Balls Zhou Zilong and his group were searching for.

Having received the old woman's promise, Zhou Zilong and Bulma smiled at each other and began their preparations.

"Goku, come here, put on this outfit. To prepare for defeating Oolong later, Bulma and I are going to dress you up," Zhou Zilong handed a pink outfit to Little Goku.

Little Goku obediently took the clothes and began to change. Before long, a Little Goku wearing a pink outfit with a headscarf appeared before them. A naturally cute and dazed expression appeared on his youthful face, making him look incredibly adorable.
