Soon.
The two arrived at the secret base.
Saigo looked at the extremely simple "base" facilities and didn't even want to complain.
The so-called secret base was merely a hidden natural cave, no different from a savage's cave.
However, for aliens who couldn't sense ki, it was indeed a very hidden place.
Firstly, the cave was located far from populated areas, deep in the mountains.
Secondly, the cave entrance was hidden among dense forests and rocks, making it difficult to find without careful observation.
The cave entrance was cleverly concealed by vines and weeds, forming a natural barrier.
Finally, at the deepest part of the cave, there was a wide, flat area large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and it was very quiet inside, with only the occasional dripping sound of water from the ceiling.
At this moment, only Saigo was in the cave; Vegeta III had already returned to do what he was instructed to do.
"Let's start training!"
"Training makes me stronger!"
"Training makes me happy!"
"Oli ge!"
After a round of self-encouragement, Saigo threw himself into his daily training.
Meanwhile.
After returning, King Vegeta urgently issued three orders:
First, stop sending lower-ranking warriors to barbarian planets.
Second, request assistance from the Frieza Force to help transmit the Saiyan recall order to Saiyans who had not yet returned, and then await Frieza's visit to Planet Vegeta. Otherwise, the small number of Saiyans would not be able to showcase their enthusiasm.
If any Saiyans were out of contact, someone needed to be sent to confirm if they were still alive.
Third, from today onwards, all returned Saiyans are prohibited from undertaking any other missions except for finding and bringing back their kin, in order to prepare for Emperor Frieza's visit to Planet Vegeta!
Within a very short period, these three orders reached everyone on Planet Vegeta.
Everyone was confused as to why King Vegeta would suddenly issue such orders, especially the Saiyans.
It was a Saiyan tradition to send warriors out, yet now it was suddenly forbidden!
But upon thinking that it was to welcome Frieza's arrival, they all felt relieved, believing that was the real reason.
After all, one must bow their head under a roof. The Saiyans still needed to act according to Frieza's wishes, and they all hoped that by pleasing Frieza this time, they would suffer less discrimination in the future.
Frieza's spies, planted among the Saiyans, also reported upwards, both openly and secretly.
Not long after, Frieza also received the news.
"Oh? Did King Vegeta really issue these three orders?" Frieza was not sitting in his exclusive vehicle at the moment, but was elegantly seated at a white table, gently swirling a wine glass.
"Yes, Lord Frieza! Your subordinate has confirmed it multiple times. Not only the people we planted on Planet Vegeta, but also King Vegeta's own people have conveyed the same message!" a pink-skinned alien with a face full of bumps replied respectfully.
Frieza continued to swirl his wine glass, his eyes fixed on the swirling liquid, "Mr. Dodoria, why do you think these wild monkeys suddenly issued these three orders? Could it be... they know our plan?"
Thump~
The one Frieza called out was the pink-skinned alien, whose name was Dodoria.
Upon hearing Frieza's words, Dodoria, regardless of whether the plan had been leaked or not, quickly knelt down, though a few beads of cold sweat still appeared on his forehead.
"Lord Frieza, please rest assured, our plan has absolutely not been leaked! I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"
At the same time, Dodoria glanced sideways at the person standing beside him.
That person understood Dodoria's intention and knelt down without hesitation.
"Lord Frieza, your subordinate can also guarantee that our plan has not been leaked. Please investigate!"
Serving a ruler is like accompanying a tiger.
Over time, the two had gained some understanding of Frieza's methods.
In this situation, if no one vouched for them, Dodoria would likely be in grave danger.
Frieza still didn't look up, his attention entirely on the wine, "Mr. Zarbon, then tell me, why did the Saiyans suddenly issue these orders?"
The one who helped Dodoria plead was a tall, relatively handsome alien with green hair on his head.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, your subordinate believes the Saiyans are doing this to curry favor with you, so they can improve their status within the Frieza Force!" Zarbon said without any hesitation, quickly stating his thoughts.
"To curry favor with me? I don't think so. However, King Vegeta, that wild monkey, is saving us a lot of trouble. We can eliminate them all at once!" Frieza stopped swirling, his cold gaze falling on the two kneeling figures, and continued, "How about this! Mr. Dodoria, Mr. Zarbon, since the wild monkeys have come to us for help, let's assist them. It will also leave me, Emperor Frieza, with a good reputation in the universe for being willing to help my subordinates! Ho ho ho~"
"Yes, your subordinate will attend to it immediately!" x2
"Wait, let's halt our plan for now! Lest those wild monkeys discover it."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Frieza watched the backs of the two as they departed, raised his wine glass, and drained it in one gulp.
He even licked those bewitching lips, a lingering sense of dissatisfaction remaining.
His leisurely demeanor suggested that the news he had just heard was of no consequence.
On May 4th, after training until ten at night, his combat power increased by 50.
Ever since Vegeta III issued his three orders and Frieza changed his targeting policy, the mortality rate of Saiyans executing missions off-world had dropped significantly.
Without needing Saigo to remind him, Vegeta III could guess that the reason the Saiyans' mission mortality rate had been so high previously was undoubtedly the work of the Frieza Force!
This realization filled Vegeta III with uncontrollable rage, and he swore that he would make Frieza pay the price.
What gave Vegeta III a headache, however, was that Vegeta IV had actually refused to return to Planet Vegeta immediately; in order not to disrupt the progress of his plans, Vegeta III had no choice but to let it go, praying that Vegeta IV would remain safe out there.
On May 7th, Saigo learned the exact date of Frieza's arrival on Planet Vegeta from the simulation—August 6th.
Of course, he also knew that this was only the time within the simulation, and reality still held many uncertain factors.
For instance: the current King of the Saiyans was not Vegeta III!
Since there was still plenty of time, Saigo planned to start a simulation tomorrow to learn the secret technique of the Yardratians—Instant Transmission.
One day passed by in the blink of an eye.
May 8th.
Saigo woke up early, and seeing that Vegeta III had not yet sent over any food, he decided to start the simulation first.
[May 8th, after simply teaching 20 elite warriors how to control their own energy, you are led by Vegeta III to the spacecraft launch center, where you board a spherical spacecraft alone and fly toward Planet Yardrat.]
Hm?
Why the rush to go to Planet Yardrat?
Is there a hole in his brain?
His strength isn't enough yet, why go out and mess around!
Saigo complained inwardly.
Has the person in the simulation been affected by the Saiyan race's traits?
Don't they know how to develop stealthily?!
Saigo shook his head, strongly disapproving of the actions of "himself" in the simulation, and then continued reading.
[June 8th, you successfully arrive on Planet Yardrat! The Yardratians are warm and hospitable, treating you as an honored guest.
Upon learning that you are a villainous Saiyan, they want to drive you off Planet Yardrat.
In response, you do not stir up trouble or cause slaughter, but instead win them over with virtue; through effective means, you finally gain an audience with the Great Elder of the Yardratians...]
