As the saying goes.
Late at night on June 27.
Saigo was just about to go to sleep when King Vegeta III's call disturbed him.
"King Saigo, good news! Great news!"
"The Gravity Chamber you asked for has been built! You—"
"Get out!"
"From now on, don't report to me at night unless it's an emergency!"
Boom!
A powerful aura blasted King Vegeta III out of the cave. He smashed through quite a few rocks along the way, widening the existing passage.
"Ugh!"
By the time King Vegeta III managed to steady himself, he was already outside the cave. He stared blankly at its entrance.
After a long while, he silently committed Saigo's habit to memory, then turned and went back.
Alone beneath the pitch-black night, his retreating figure looked rather bleak against the symphony of insects and frogs.
The next day.
After a good night's sleep, Saigo got up early and began a simulation.
"I think I heard King Vegeta III say last night that the Gravity Chamber was finished. Let's run a simulation and see!"
[June 28: You trained in the Gravity Chamber brought by King Vegeta III. At twice gravity, you nearly embarrassed yourself when you let your guard down. After training for a day, your battle power increased by 100.] [July 7: You trained at twice gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 100.] [July 8: You trained at three times gravity. Your battle power increased by 150.] ... [July 17: You trained at three times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 150.] [July 18: You trained at four times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 200.] ... [July 27: You trained at four times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 200.] [July 28: You trained at five times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 250.] ... [August 6: Frieza arrived. While Frieza was still in his infant form, you seized the chance to unleash a full-power attack and successfully killed him! With your overwhelming strength, you rampaged through the Frieza Force as if there were no one there to stop you. The Saiyans emerged victorious from the battle. After taking out the enemy's strongest fighters, you returned to continue training at five times gravity. Your battle power increased by 250.] Saigo saw this and was deeply skeptical. "Am I really this hardworking?" "After finishing off the enemy, I go right back to grinding?" "This can't be me!" Then he continued reading. [August 7: You continued training at five times gravity. Your battle power increased by 250.] [August 8: You trained at six times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 300.] ... [August 16: You took time out to attend the succession ceremony held in your honor by all the Saiyans. After the ceremony, you continued training at six times gravity, practicing until late at night. Your battle power increased by 300.] "Me in the simulation, I salute you as the ultimate grind machine!" Saigo couldn't help exclaiming when he saw this. Then he continued reading. [August 17: You trained at six times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 300.] [August 18: You trained at seven times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 350.] ... [August 28: You trained at eight times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 400.] ... [September 8: You trained at nine times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 450.] ... [September 18: You trained at ten times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 500.] ... [September 28: You trained at eleven times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 550.] ... [October 8: You trained at twelve times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 600.] ... [October 18: You trained at thirteen times Planet Saiyan's gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 650.] ... [October 27: You trained at thirteen times gravity for a day. Your battle power increased by 650.] [This simulation has ended!] [Choose one of the following rewards: 1. Battle power: 45,000 2. The thrill of killing Frieza 3. The satisfaction of becoming King of Saiyans 4. Future Memory] Of the four rewards, the first was clearly the best. There was no need to hesitate. "Choose the first!" [ Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations, host! You have gained 45,000 battle power!] After the simulation. Saigo sensed the locations of King Vegeta III and the others. They hadn't set out yet, so he quickly moved outside the cave to take a look. It turned out that the sky had only just begun to lighten. "Good! Let's see how much battle power I have in my normal state." Once back inside the cave, Saigo brought up the Personal Information Panel.

"Finally, 3.35 million! What a struggle! I've been in this world for almost two and a half years, and I've only got this much battle power. That's painfully slow!"
"Hmm? Guaranteed Pass Experience for the Yardratian Trial? What does that mean? Does it mean I'll pass every test?"
"I'll keep it for now! They're here!"
Saigo willed the information panel to disappear.
Before long, King Vegeta III hurried into the cave.
The first thing he said was the same as yesterday.
"King Saigo, great news! The Gravity Chamber has been completed!"
Although he didn't know what Saigo wanted the Gravity Chamber for, he was delighted from head to toe to have completed the task Saigo had assigned him.
"So where's the Gravity Chamber? Did you bring it?" Saigo asked, glancing at the empty space behind him.
King Vegeta III looked a little embarrassed. "Uh... the Gravity Chamber is too big, so I didn't bring it."
Seeing the speechless look on Saigo's face, he quickly added, "I'll go get it right now! Excuse me!"
Whoosh—
He took off in a flash, even using High-Speed Movement.
Saigo was speechless again.
Ever since this guy stopped being king, it was as if he'd become a completely different person.
When it came to Saigo's orders, he responded immediately, and he was incredibly efficient!
A total lackey!
Perhaps he'd never imagined that one day he'd end up like this.
Soon.
Saigo heard a dull, brief thud as a heavy object hit the ground.
Boom!
"It's here!"
Leaving those words hanging in the air, Saigo vanished from where he stood in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he stepped outside the cave, he spotted an oval-shaped building in the faint light.
Saigo noticed that everyone in Dragon Ball, no matter their race, seemed to like round buildings. Earthlings were like that, Saiyans were like that, and even King Kai was like that.
"King Saigo, this is the Gravity Chamber our scientists built. What do you think? Is it to your liking?" King Vegeta III asked, standing by the entrance with a fawning smile.
There wasn't a hint of him seeking credit; he looked only proud and honored.
