[July 4th, you throw yourself back into cultivation. As the day ends, your combat power increases by 50.]

[August 3rd, you cultivate for the entire day. Your combat power increases by 50.]

[This simulation has ended!]

[Please choose one of the following rewards:

1. Combat power increased by 10x 2. Combat power of 2,600 3. Void Survival 4. Detection Eye 5. Talent Enhancement 6. Experience in transforming into a Super Saiyan 7. Future memories]

After reading the simulation information and the seven available rewards, Saigo was overcome with joy.

"Damn, the rewards for this simulation are actually pretty good!"

Just like the rewards on May 1st, there were seven options to choose from.

Needless to say, the 10x increase was definitely the best, but Saigo was somewhat dissatisfied with his current combat power—a mere 222,950.

Even with a 10x increase, it would only reach 2.2295 million, still insufficient to transform into a Super Saiyan.

He had tested this point throughout the three days of simulation, and it was simply impossible to succeed.

Saigo had pondered this many times, concluding that his current combat power did not meet the transformation requirements, nor did the number of S-cells in his body.

Furthermore, having lived a peaceful life in his past life for too long, he clearly couldn't summon the extreme rage required.

Another reason might be that his ki control was still not refined enough.

All these factors combined led to the failure of the transformation; otherwise, just like Sun Wukong when Krillin first died, even if he had enough S-cells and reached the peak of rage, he still didn't transform into a Super Saiyan.

Ultimately, these three conditions for transforming into a Super Saiyan were likely complementary and mutually restrictive; if any one of them was not met, it wouldn't work.

Of course, if any one condition far exceeded the standard, it might lower the difficulty of the transformation.

Just like the Saiyans of Universe 6, whose combat power and S-cell counts were extremely high, transforming into a Super Saiyan was easy for them without needing much rage.

Even without using the back-tingling method, they could succeed by simply stimulating themselves to get angry.

Returning to the matter at hand.

A 10x increase in combat power was great, but Saigo didn't want to use this secret technique, which could only be used once in a lifetime, right now.

He could wait until his strength in reality was higher before using it, which would yield a much greater boost.

Besides, Frieza hadn't arrived in the simulation yet, so there was no rush.

In previous simulations, Planet Vegeta remained safe until August, meaning Frieza wouldn't destroy it between May and July.

Therefore, time was abundant, and Saigo wasn't panicked in the slightest.

With the destruction of Planet Vegeta still so far off, there was absolutely no problem with obtaining the Super Saiyan transformation before the day of destruction arrived!

In previous simulations, Saigo also learned that after Tarble's two-month training period ended, he wasn't immediately sent to a desolate planet, but was exiled on May 4th!

After pondering for a long while, Saigo still excluded the first reward.

Little did he know, this decision would make him regret it immensely later on.

Of course, that is a story for another time.

Saigo looked down at the other rewards, and the moment he saw Void Survival, he didn't need to look at the other options anymore.

Because he had already decided that if the Void Survival reward appeared again, he would choose it!

And now that Void Survival had appeared for the second time, he had no choice but to pick it.

It was just wasting one simulation opportunity; there was no need to care.

He used to play games recklessly in his past life, and now that his simulation attempts increased by one every day, he could afford to waste them.

What's more, even if he didn't choose it this time, he reckoned that "he" in the simulation would still obtain this ability by making a wish.

Including this time, he had only gone to Namek twice in the simulations, and both times he used the Dragon Balls to obtain this ability.

This happened even without his intervention before the simulation, which only showed that "he" in the simulation had a special fondness for this ability, giving the impression that he wouldn't give up until he got his hands on it.

But to be honest, it was truly monstrous for Frieza's race to possess the ability of Void Survival.

With this ability, he wouldn't have to fear others blowing up the planet!

Thinking this, Saigo decisively chose the Void Survival ability.

"I choose the third one!"

[Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new ability—Void Survival! Please check it in the "Talent" column.]

The moment the words left his mouth, Saigo couldn't wait to pull up his personal information panel.

After clicking on the "Void Survival" talent, a few lines of text immediately popped up.

[A special talent possessed only by a few races in the universe, allowing for perfect adaptation to survival in void environments.]

After reading it, Saigo couldn't help but grin.

"With this, I won't have to fear oxygen-free environments anymore! Good, my survivability just went through the roof!"

"However, I feel like this wish could have been handled differently. Couldn't I have just wished for the ability to quickly adapt to all kinds of harsh environments?"

"Yeah! That's it. The person in the simulation is definitely not me; they didn't inherit my brilliant mind at all!"

Saigo comforted himself this way, and his mood improved immediately!

With a thought, he tucked away the system information panel.

He then lay back down on the bed, quietly waiting for the arrival of Tarble and the nanny.

It didn't take long before Tarble and the nanny arrived together.

This Saiyan Prince, Tarble, was vastly different from the image of the Saiyans he had seen and heard about.

He looked very peaceful, and there was absolutely none of that wild aura legendary to the Saiyans about him.

If not for the Saiyan's iconic tail coiled around his waist as a reminder, Saigo might have mistaken him for an ordinary Earthling.

"Lord Saigo, let's go! It's time for you and Prince Tarble to set off!" the nanny, who had a somewhat peculiar appearance, said respectfully. He was also a Saiyan, just a low-class warrior who disliked fighting.

Leave Planet Vegeta?

That was impossible!

If he didn't have a cheat, he might have considered fleeing with Tarble.

But now that he had external assistance, the success rate of resisting Frieza was much, much higher—why would he ever leave?

The Savior of the Saiyans would not easily abandon his own kin!

"Before we leave, I would like to pay a visit to King Vegeta. Is that possible?" Saigo, fearing the nanny might refuse, put on a look of regret. "As a Saiyan, I don't want to leave without even having met my own King, do I?"

"This..." The nanny clearly didn't dare make the decision and looked toward Prince Tarble, seeking his opinion.

Saigo had assumed Tarble would disagree and was prepared to use force to compel him to lead the way.

To his surprise, he didn't refuse at all.

"Of course! I'll take you there!" There wasn't a hint of displeasure on Tarble's face; instead, he seemed almost eager to please.

Tarble had already accepted the arrangements of fate in his heart. Regarding the high-class warrior guard who would protect him in the future, he wanted to use this opportunity to bridge the gap between them.

This was something his father, Vegeta III, had taught him: learn how to interact with high-class warriors, especially one's own guards.

Only then would the guards protect him with their hearts!

His father's teachings were firmly etched into the mind of Tarble, whose own aptitude was merely that of a low-class warrior.

Saigo's request was a trivial matter to him. Doing this would satisfy one of Saigo's wishes while simultaneously earning his favor.

It was killing two birds with one stone!

Tarble had no reason to object. He had been fretting over how to get closer to Saigo, and now that the opportunity had presented itself, he wouldn't let this hard-won chance slip away.

Saigo smiled upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Tarble smiled as well.

Soon.

Inside the Saiyan King's Palace.

Saigo successfully met the legendary King Vegeta. That sky-piercing hairstyle was somewhat similar to his own, though his own hair was shorter, lacked a widow's peak, and his forehead wasn't quite as broad.

If King Vegeta's hairstyle resembled a large flame, then his own was more like a small one; the gaps between the tips of each lock of hair were not as wide, and from a distance, it looked a bit like a large water droplet.

Upon the throne, King Vegeta leaned his head against his fist, appearing extremely casual, with a hint of impatience visible on his face.

He waved his hand as if shooing away a fly and said, "Enough! Since you have fulfilled your wish before departure, get going! From now on, Tarble's safety depends on you!"

Hearing King Vegeta speak, Tarble also sensed the King's lack of interest and urged Saigo to leave.

"Saigo, let's go!"

As for the Nanny, he had not followed them inside and was still waiting outside the gates of the royal palace.

However, Saigo had no intention of leaving. Seeing that no one present was wearing a scouter, he had already made up his mind.

He looked up at King Vegeta on the throne and said unhurriedly, "But, King Vegeta, I do not wish to leave Planet Vegeta. Tell me, what should be done about that?"
