Three Wishes

"Let me become a regular Super Saiyan!" Vegeta hurriedly blurted out his wish.

Porunga ignored Vegeta.

"Hey, hurry up and grant my wish!" When Vegeta saw that Shenron wasn't responding, he immediately lost his temper.

"Shenron, for my first wish, give me the ability to survive in outer space." Lu Fan made his wish in Namekian Language.

"I can grant that wish." Porunga's voice rang out.

"Hmm..."

Then Porunga's eyes began to glow red.

The red light quickly enveloped Lu Fan.

Lu Fan could clearly feel his body undergoing a few small changes.

It was as if his skin had gained the ability to breathe on its own.

Was this what it meant to be able to survive in outer space?

"Your first wish has been granted," Shenron Porunga announced.

Vegeta: "..."

"Damn it, do I have to make my wish in Namekian Language?" Vegeta bared his teeth.

"Your Highness, haven't I repeatedly urged you to keep a calm heart? Why are you always so irritable?" Lu Fan sighed.

"Enough talk. Your wish has been granted, so hurry up and make me a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta urged.

"All right. For my second wish, I want Prince Vegeta, who's standing beside me, to become a Super Saiyan." Lu Fan made his wish, saying the last part in Namekian Language.

"Hey, what did you wish for?" Vegeta couldn't understand him.

"I'm sorry, but I can't grant the wish to become a Super Saiyan," Porunga's voice came from above.

"What? Even this dragon can't grant that wish? I only want to become a regular Super Saiyan, not the Legendary Super Saiyan!" Vegeta shouted. "Can't you grant even that?"

"That's right, just a regular Super Saiyan," Lu Fan said. "Can you do it?"

"No," Shenron Porunga replied.

"Then tell him how to become a Super Saiyan. You can grant that wish, right?" Lu Fan asked.

"I can," Porunga answered with a nod.

Then Porunga fell silent.

"Hurry up and tell me how to become a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta urged.

"I'm sorry, but you need to make your wish in Namekian Language," Porunga said.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta felt deeply wounded.

How hateful!

What would it hurt to just say it?

Lu Fan: "..."

What a stubborn dragon.

Lu Fan had no choice but to repeat his earlier words in Namekian Language.

"Is this your wish? To learn how to become a Super Saiyan?" Porunga asked.

"Why do you have so much to say?" Vegeta snapped.

"Is that how you make a wish?" Porunga said coldly.

"Damn it!" Vegeta bared his teeth, but immediately lowered his proud head.

Vegeta suddenly remembered that there was a powerful Namekian on this planet. Meow Meow Novel

I'd better keep a low profile.

"To become a Super Saiyan, you first need to have a calm heart." Porunga didn't press Vegeta any further. Instead, he explained how to become a Super Saiyan. "Saiyans have something in their bodies called S-Cells. A calm heart is needed to gradually strengthen these S-Cells. Once they reach a certain amount, a major emotional shift can transform a Saiyan into a regular Super Saiyan."

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta immediately turned to look at Lu Fan.

I strongly suspect you and this dragon rehearsed this beforehand.

Why did you two say almost exactly the same thing?

"Can a regular Super Saiyan defeat Frieza?" Vegeta asked again.

Porunga didn't answer.

"Damn it, does the next question count as a wish too?" Vegeta bared his teeth.

"All right, Your Highness, no need to ask so many questions," Lu Fan said soothingly. "Let's make a different wish."

"What are you planning to wish for?" Vegeta asked.

"Shenron, send me, Vegeta, and our spaceship to a planet suitable for increasing our S-Cells," Lu Fan said in Namekian Language.

"I can grant that wish," Shenron Porunga replied.

"Wait a moment. I'd like to say goodbye first." Lu Fan waved his hand.

Porunga: "..."

"Hey, what did you wish for?" Vegeta quickly asked.

"I asked Shenron to send us to a planet suitable for increasing our S-Cells. That okay with you?" Lu Fan said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Vegeta nodded in approval.

But just after he said that, Vegeta suddenly froze.

"Wait, didn't you say living on Earth would increase our S-Cells faster?" Vegeta recalled what Lu Fan had said earlier.

"Right. Let Shenron choose. Maybe we'll end up back on Earth," Lu Fan said with a smile.

Vegeta fell silent.

Shenron Porunga: "..."

"Sorry to trouble you, Elder Moori." Lu Fan turned to Elder Moori.

"It's nothing. If you have time, come visit Namek," Elder Moori said with a smile. "The door to Namek will always be open to you."

"Forget it. There aren't any beautiful women on this planet, so there's no point." Lu Fan shook his head.

Elder Moori: "..."

The many Namekian villagers: "..."

"All right, that's it. Goodbye." Lu Fan waved.

"Whoosh!"

A red flare flashed in Shenron Porunga's eyes, quickly enveloping Lu Fan, Vegeta, and the spaceship.

In an instant, Lu Fan and Vegeta disappeared.

Lu Fan's wish had been that simple.

He hadn't wished for immortality or anything like that.

Those things were unrealistic.

Lu Fan hadn't wished to become the strongest in the universe, either.

To Lu Fan, only strength gained through his own efforts was truly reliable.

So he had only wished to overcome his own weakness.

That was all.

"Whoosh!"

When Lu Fan came to, he found himself on a rather unfamiliar planet.

The ground was red, and the sky was orange.

A pale blue sun hung in the sky.

Lu Fan could hardly believe that a blue sun had turned the sky orange.

But then he thought about it, and it made sense.

Earth's sun was red, after all.

Yet Earth's sky was blue.

That was because most of Earth was covered in oceans, which reflected the blue of the sky.

The architecture on this planet was somewhat similar to that on Namek, but also a little different. It was full of futuristic technology.

The planet was home to all kinds of species.

Shenron Porunga had sent Lu Fan and Vegeta directly to a quiet street.

The locals didn't seem surprised when they saw Lu Fan and Vegeta appear.

It was as if they saw things like this all the time.

"Hey, where are we?" Vegeta asked, bewildered, as he grabbed a frog-like person nearby.
