"Shenron, you don't think I only spent five-plus hours gathering the Dragon Balls to summon you, do you?" Lu Fan sighed. "You should know, I traveled all the way from the distant Planet Vegeta; our prince and I have been sailing through the cosmos for a very, very long time."
Shenron: "..."
"So, I intend to ask a few questions as compensation for my mental exhaustion," Lu Fan continued. "That isn't an unreasonable request, is it?"
Shenron: "..."
"Ask away..." Shenron replied, sweat beading on his face.
"First question: I want the ability to survive in the vacuum of space. Can the Namekian Dragon grant this?" Lu Fan asked.
Shenron fell silent once more.
The silence lasted for a second or two.
"It can," Shenron replied.
"Namek?" Vegeta blinked. "I feel like I've heard of that planet before..."
"Second question: Tell our prince how to become the legendary Super Saiyan," Lu Fan said.
"What?" Vegeta was stunned again, turning his head to look at Lu Fan.
"The legendary Super Saiyan is born only once every 1,000 years..." Shenron looked down at Vegeta, his voice booming from above. "Clearly, neither of you is that individual."
Lu Fan: "..."
Vegeta: "..."
"What did you say? Are you saying I am not the standout of this millennium?" Vegeta roared. "Lu Fan and I are the most gifted warriors among the Saiyans."
"Vegeta, calm down," Lu Fan said. "If we aren't, we aren't. There's no reason to get angry."
"Damn it! Is this dragon telling the truth or not?" Vegeta bared his teeth.
"I read in an ancient text that ordinary Saiyans can also become Super Saiyans. Tell our prince, how does one become an ordinary Super Saiyan?" Lu Fan pressed on.
Shenron: "..."
Your questions just never end.
If you keep asking like this, when will it ever reach an end?
"Apologies, I can only answer two questions... Is this remaining one your wish?" Shenron's voice resonated.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later," Lu Fan shook his head.
"Hey, Lu Fan, hurry up and listen to what he has to say!" Vegeta was displeased.
I was just about to find out how an ordinary person becomes a Super Saiyan!
And you just stopped him from speaking.
You're really ticking me off!
"Are you ready to make your wish? If you have no wish, I shall depart," Shenron stated.
"My wish is... to transport myself, Vegeta, and our spaceship to the distant planet Namek," Lu Fan said.
"This wish can be granted," Shenron nodded.
With that, Shenron prepared to fulfill the wish.
"Wait a moment, let me say my goodbyes first," Lu Fan waved his hand.
Shenron: "..."
Lu Fan walked over to face Dr. Briefs.
"Thank you, Dr. Briefs. You've worked hard. May we meet again someday," Lu Fan smiled.
"Are you leaving? Going to Namek?" Dr. Briefs asked.
"Yes, there is an even more advanced dragon there. I believe that through that dragon, I can achieve the wish I desire," Lu Fan nodded.
"I want to go, I want to go! I want to go on an alien vacation with you!" Bulma rushed forward and hugged Lu Fan's leg.
Lu Fan: "..."
"Bulma, don't be difficult. You have school tomorrow," Bikini said.
"No! I don't want to go to school! I've already graduated from kindergarten!" Bulma held onto Lu Fan's leg tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Lu Fan wiped away sweat.
"Bulma, there is still so much you need to learn in the future," Lu Fan said to her.
"No, I've already graduated, I'm a grown-up now!" Bulma shouted. "Why do aliens get to travel the galaxy when they're five, but I have to go to school? I don't want to go to school!"
"Lu Fan and the others should probably go to school too," Bikini winked at Lu Fan, signaling him to say something persuasive.
"Hmph, we Saiyans would never go to school to learn such boring knowledge; we are born warriors," Vegeta couldn't help but interject from the side.
Bikini: "..."
There's no talking to them.
"Bulma, once you graduate from middle school, I'll take you on an alien vacation, how about that?" Lu Fan pinched Bulma's cheek.
"Graduated from junior high? There are still 9 years left," Bulma said, tears streaming down her face.
"Bulma, you're quite quick with your math," Lu Fan said with a smile.
"I'm a genius. This laser gun is my invention," Bulma said, shaking the laser gun in her hand.
"Whoosh!"
The laser gun accidentally fired, and a beam of light whistled towards Vegeta's location.
"Bang!"
Vegeta, caught off guard, was hit on the spot.
The beam from the laser gun struck Vegeta's chest.
"Crack!"
A wisp of smoke rose from Vegeta's armor.
And then, there was nothing else.
Although Bulma's laser gun was powerful, it couldn't even penetrate Vegeta's armor.
"Huh? Are you okay?" Bulma was startled.
"You... what are you doing? Do you believe I'll beat you to death!" Vegeta's nose was practically crooked with anger.
I've been ambushed again.
It was bad enough being ambushed by Lu Fan, but now this little girl was ambushing me too.
"It's fine, this kind of attack is nothing for a prince like us," Lu Fan said with a smile.
"You scared me to death! I thought I'd shot him dead. I really didn't mean to just now... I accidentally pulled the trigger," Bulma apologized quickly.
"Tch!" Vegeta bared his teeth but didn't do anything to Bulma.
"Hey, are you done saying your goodbyes?" Shenron's face darkened.
I'm still waiting to grant your wish.
And you're over here chatting...
"Strange, is my laser gun malfunctioning?" Bulma blinked, let go of Lu Fan, and aimed the gun at a distant lake.
"Whoosh!"
Bulma pulled the trigger, and a laser instantly hit the lake.
"Boom!"
The lake water surged several meters high, blasting out fish and shrimp.
"Splat!"
A mantis shrimp landed on Vegeta's face, pooped on it, and quickly scurried away.
Vegeta's expression turned extremely unpleasant. Flames flashed in his hand, roasting the mantis shrimp.
Vegeta grabbed the mantis shrimp and ate it in one gulp.
"Tastes pretty good," Vegeta grunted.
Bulma stared with wide eyes.
This guy can also release flames.
Do you carry a lighter in your hand?
"Your wish has been granted. Goodbye," Shenron, who was getting impatient, directly granted the wish.
