"It doesn't matter anymore." Vegeta didn't really care about such things, chuckling lightly, "Why go through all that trouble? With that time, it's better to properly raise one's own combat power; messing with those flashy, hollow things is useless! For us Saiyans, our own combat power is what's truly strongest!"
Elder Moori: "..."
The many villagers of Namek: "..."
These two guys are actually holding such an advanced Dragon Radar.
Our Dragon Balls were found by them so easily.
"So this is a Namekian Dragon Ball? It's so much bigger than the ones on Earth!" Vegeta leaned in to take a look.
"Well then, just like on Earth." Lu Fan pointed to the screen on the Dragon Radar, "Taking this Dragon Ball in the center as the dividing point, there are three on the right and three on the left. Which side do you choose?"
"Hmph, only a child would make a choice." Vegeta scoffed.
"Are you saying you'll go find the remaining six Dragon Balls yourself?" Lu Fan smiled.
Vegeta: "..."
"I'll find the three on the left!" Vegeta bared his teeth.
Almost got myself trapped there.
What a miscalculation.
I need to use my brain before speaking next time.
"Fine, I'll find the three on the right." Lu Fan nodded, then lowered his voice to Vegeta, "Your Highness, don't trust your detector too easily; that thing can be deceptive sometimes."
"What? I don't understand what you're talking about." Vegeta was stunned.
"I mean, be a bit more polite to the locals when looking for the Dragon Balls. Don't keep talking about wiping them out at every turn." Lu Fan whispered, "Even if you want to wipe them out, you should wait until after you've found the Dragon Balls and had your wish granted before taking action."
Vegeta looked up at Lu Fan.
What you're saying actually makes a lot of sense.
Elder Moori and the others: "..."
This kid named Lu Fan isn't a good person either.
Aren't you a bit too devious?
Elder Moori's face turned black instantly.
However, Elder Moori looked closely and felt that this kid Lu Fan was just joking.
It didn't seem like he was serious!
The same words coming from his mouth didn't feel the least bit dangerous.
"Alright, Your Highness, let's see who finds their three Dragon Balls first." Lu Fan patted Vegeta on the shoulder, "Just like on Earth, we'll gather back here once we've found them."
"Hmph, you don't need to instruct me; I know what to do." Vegeta said, taking out his own Dragon Radar and pressing the button on it.
"Whoosh!"
A white aura erupted from Vegeta's body as he shot into the sky, whistling toward the direction of the first Dragon Ball.
"Well then, I'm off to find the Dragon Balls as well." Lu Fan asked with a smile.
Elder Moori didn't respond.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Fan flew into the sky and quickly vanished from the spot.
Elder Moori looked up at the spot where Lu Fan had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.
"Elder... what are you looking at?" a villager asked, "That Saiyan named Lu Fan has already flown far away."
"Did you notice? That Saiyan named Lu Fan... there isn't a trace of energy fluctuation on him." Elder Moori mused.
"Eh? It really seems that way! But he gives me the feeling that he is clearly much stronger than their prince!" the villager immediately realized.
"That's right, being able to easily knock their prince unconscious with one palm shows that he is indeed much, much stronger than that Saiyan named Vegeta." Elder Moori nodded, "The question is, how can he be this powerful without any energy fluctuations on his body?"
"Elder, ask the passing clouds; perhaps the clouds know." The villager looked up at the sky, gazing at the clouds above.
Elder Moori: "..."
What the hell, the clouds know...
At the Cloud Mountain Peak where the Grand Elder resided.
The Grand Elder was outside, eyes closed, resting and sunbathing.
Namek has three suns, so sunbathing is quite satisfying.
After all, there are still nearly 20 years left before the Grand Elder reaches the end of his life.
The Grand Elder is still able to move freely for now.
Standing beside the Grand Elder was a young Namekian.
This Namekian was the only combat-type Namekian on Namek.
His name was Neil.
Neil was also the most powerful warrior on Namek.
Although Neil's current combat power had not yet reached the peak it would attain twenty years later, it had already climbed to the height of 40,000.
"Someone has come to Namek." The Grand Elder suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with the weight of age.
Neil was slightly taken aback.
Someone had come to Namek?
"I do not know how they arrived on Namek; it does not appear they came by spaceship. It seems they were instantly transported here by some means," the Grand Elder mused.
"Who could it be, Grand Elder?" Neil asked.
"They previously descended upon Elder Moori's village, though they have already departed," the Grand Elder said. "It seems they have reached some sort of consensus with Elder Moori."
"They? How many people are there, Grand Elder?" Neil asked.
"Two," the Grand Elder replied.
"Grand Elder, please contact Elder Moori immediately to see what they have come to our Namek for. If they harbor any hostility, I will absolutely not forgive them!" Neil said with a grave expression.
"You are right." The Grand Elder nodded and immediately established contact with Elder Moori through telepathy.
"Grand Elder?" Elder Moori was slightly stunned. "That is wonderful, Grand Elder. I was just about to contact you myself; I did not expect you to already know."
Following that, Elder Moori did not hold anything back and relayed everything that had happened there to the Grand Elder in full detail.
"Saiyans, you say?" The Grand Elder nodded. "There is no full moon on our planet, so they should be unable to transform into Great Apes. If Neil goes all out, it should not be a major issue."
"Yes, Grand Elder." Elder Moori nodded. "However, that Saiyan named Lu Fan seems a bit strange... there is not a shred of evil aura on him. If conditions permit, it would be best if you could meet him before making a decision, Grand Elder."
"Very well." The Grand Elder nodded gently and instructed Neil, "Neil, bring that Saiyan named Lu Fan here. I wish to see him before deciding whether or not to grant their wish."
"As you command, Grand Elder." Neil bowed in salute.
The next moment, Neil expanded his senses, searching for Lu Fan's aura.
And then... there was no "then."
Because there was no aura present on Lu Fan.
Any so-called aura had long since been replaced by Lu Fan's divine power.
Neither Namekians nor ordinary humans were capable of sensing divine power.
"I cannot sense his existence at all." Neil looked up at the sky.
