However.
Son Goku still did not realize he had said the wrong thing, asking with a face full of confusion: "Eh? Gohan, did I say something wrong again?"
"But I feel... I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
Seeing his innocent expression, the scene fell silent for two seconds.
The next moment, everyone present except for the three members of the Son family and Vegeta burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha~"
An hour and a half later.
Tarble hitched a ride with Son Goku and successfully arrived at New Namek.
Of course.
During this hour and a half, Tarble successfully bound Son Goku, and his binding quota was reset to zero once again.
Furthermore, he also acquired a new skill: Dragon Fist Explosion.
Currently, the total number of bound individuals is: 6.
Training effect multiplier: 7x.
Once he enters the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, the training speed will increase by another 1x.
Back to the main topic.
The Namekians were naturally exceptionally welcoming to Son Goku.
However, they were not quite as friendly toward Vegeta.
Back when Frieza invaded the old Namek to seize the Namekian Dragon Balls, Vegeta had personally slaughtered a small village of Namekians.
Because of this, Vegeta was well aware of his standing and did not come along.
He merely asked Tarble to help him make a wish to the Dragon God to grow his tail back.
As for himself, he volunteered to prepare more food.
Tarble naturally did not refuse such a small favor.
"Grand Elder Muri, thank you very much for lending us the Dragon Balls!" Son Goku looked at the seven basketball-sized Dragon Balls held by the seven Namekians behind Muri and thanked them sincerely.
The excitement and anticipation on his face were undisguised.
Muri is the current Grand Elder of the Namekians.
After Namek suffered the invasion by Frieza back then, the original Grand Elder had reached the end of his life, and the position of Grand Elder was passed on to Muri.
"You are too kind, Mr. Goku. You are the great benefactor who saved us Namekians; what does it matter to borrow the Dragon Balls?"
"If it weren't for Mr. Goku, we wouldn't be living here so peacefully today."
"In the future, if Mr. Goku ever wants to use the Dragon Balls, you are welcome to come at any time."
"However, should we ever have need of Mr. Goku, I hope you will lend us a helping hand."
The kind-hearted Namekians live with great clarity.
They understand that once a person dies, everything is gone.
Not to mention the debt of gratitude they owe Son Goku, even without it, being able to befriend a loyal and righteous powerhouse like Son Goku through the Dragon Balls is a very worthwhile investment.
Although the strength of the current combat-type Namekians far exceeds that of Nail from back then.
Still, when facing a powerhouse like Son Goku, they were not quite enough.
Not to mention, after Son Goku arrived this time, he helped introduce Tarble's situation.
Upon learning that Tarble's strength actually surpassed that of Son Goku, Muri was even more willing to bring out the Namekian Dragon Balls.
Previously, they had all sensed an unprecedentedly powerful aura coming from the direction of Earth.
At that time, they were filled with worry, praying that no more trouble would arise in the universe.
Now, learning that the owner of that super-strong aura was actually Tarble.
And, since Muri could not sense any evil aura from Tarble, what was there to hesitate about?
After hearing his words, Son Goku accepted without any hesitation: "Hehehe, then thank you very much, Grand Elder Muri~"
"If there is anything I can help with, just say the word!"
He is simple-minded, but he is not a fool.
In his eyes, the Dragon Balls are a good thing.
To be able to get a promise that he can borrow the Dragon Balls at any time without paying any price—only a fool would refuse.
Seeing this, Tarble was secretly speechless.
It is only because the Namekians have no ulterior motives; otherwise, this guy Goku would be sold and still be counting the money for the buyer without even knowing it.
Muri was different; seeing Son Goku agree without hesitation, a smile immediately appeared on his aged face.
"Mr. Goku, what wishes would you like to make this time?"
"Shall I have the children make the wishes for you?"
Hearing this, Son Goku replied without a second thought, "Oh, I want the Dragon God to help me grow my tail back."
"Right, Vegeta's wish is the same as mine."
"As for Tarble, he wants to be a bit taller."
"Hey, Tarble, how tall do you want to be?"
Seeing his carefree attitude, Tarble pursed his lips, then smiled slightly at Muri.
"My wish is to have my height increased to 188 centimeters."
"I'll have to trouble Grand Elder Muri to help us make these wishes."
It must be said that this somewhat peculiar wish drew side-glances from Muri and the other Namekians.
After all, this was the first time anyone had ever asked for such an inconsequential wish.
After listening to Tarble, Muri finally snapped out of his daze.
"No, no problem at all."
"Mr. Tarble, your wish is quite unique."
To this, Tarble chuckled and agreed with a smile, "That's right, it is quite unique."
Seeing that he had no particular reaction, a hint of surprise flashed in Muri's eyes, though he said, "Then I shall have someone help you fulfill these three wishes."
Soon.
The Dragon God Porunga was successfully summoned.
Looking up at the muscular Dragon God Porunga in the sky, with its thick and sharp horns, Tarble couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
So big!
Tall and mighty!
It looks like someone you shouldn't mess with... er, never mind, it's probably just like the Earth's Dragon God—all bark and no bite, easily destroyed by a single energy blast from Demon King Piccolo, who only had a battle power of two or three hundred!
So the "mighty" part is gone, leaving only the "big"!
Yeah!
It really is tall!
Just as he was sighing to himself, Muri, standing at the very front of the crowd, was speaking loudly in a rapid-fire tongue to the Dragon God Porunga.
He couldn't understand a single word!
That was the native language of the Namekians.
Two seconds later, he noticed that Son Goku had suddenly grown a brown tail.
At the same time, Son Goku also sensed something strange and quickly turned his head to look behind him.
Seeing the tail swaying playfully, he immediately exclaimed, "Great!"
"My tail is back!"
He shouted while stroking his tail, as if reminiscing.
Seeing this scene, Tarble nodded secretly.
That's more like it!
How could someone named Son Goku not have a tail?
No sooner had he finished his internal assessment than he suddenly realized his field of vision had become much higher.
He turned his head to scan his surroundings and realized it was because his height had increased!
At this moment, he stood head and shoulders above the rest, looking down upon the others.
For a moment, his mood inexplicably brightened.
This perspective is much more comfortable!
Before, I always had to look up at others; I was about to get a stiff neck!
At this moment, Son Goku also noticed the change in Tarble and let out another exclamation.
"Wow!"
"Tarble, you've suddenly become so tall!"
"I'm almost a whole head shorter than you now, haha~"
