Three Wishes

"Let me, Vegeta, become an ordinary Super Saiyan!" Vegeta hurriedly stepped forward, blurting out his wish first.

Porunga paid Vegeta no mind.

"Hey, hurry up and grant my wish!" Finding that the dragon showed no reaction, Vegeta grew anxious on the spot.

"Shenron, for the first wish, grant me the ability to survive in the vacuum of space," Lu Fan wished in the Namekian language.

"Very well, this wish can be granted," Porunga's voice boomed down.

"Hum..."

Immediately following, red light flickered within Porunga's eyes.

The red light rapidly enveloped Lu Fan's body.

Lu Fan clearly felt his body undergoing some subtle changes.

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

Is this the ability to survive in the vacuum of space?

"Your first wish has been fulfilled," the voice of the dragon Porunga resonated.

Vegeta: "..."

"Damn it, does wishing require the Namekian language too?" Vegeta bared his teeth.

"Your Highness, have I not emphasized time and again that you need to possess a peaceful heart? Why are you always so irritable?" Lu Fan sighed.

"Cut the chatter, your wish is already granted, hurry up and make me a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta urged.

"Fine, then for the second wish, let His Highness Prince Vegeta beside me become a Super Saiyan," Lu Fan wished, speaking the final sentence in Namekian.

"Hey, what kind of wish did you make?" Vegeta couldn't understand.

"Apologies, wanting to become a Super Saiyan... this is a wish I cannot grant," Porunga's voice echoed from the sky.

"What? Even this dragon cannot grant this wish? I only want to become an ordinary Super Saiyan, not the legendary one," Vegeta shouted. "Is even such a wish impossible to fulfill?"

"Yes, just an ordinary Super Saiyan," Lu Fan said. "Can it be done?"

"It cannot," the dragon Porunga replied.

"Then tell him the method to become a Super Saiyan; surely this wish can be granted," Lu Fan asked.

"This can be done," Porunga nodded.

Then, Porunga fell silent.

"Speak quickly, tell me the method to become a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta urged.

"Apologies, you must make the wish in the Namekian language," Porunga stated.

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta felt deeply wounded.

How hateful!

What would it cost you to just say it out loud?

Lu Fan: "..."

What a stubborn mind.

Lu Fan had no choice but to repeat his previous words in the Namekian language.

"How to become a Super Saiyan? Is this question your wish?" Porunga asked.

"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Vegeta grew impatient.

"Is this the attitude you take when making a wish?" Porunga asked with a cold face.

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

Vegeta suddenly remembered that there was still a rather powerful Namekian on this planet.

I had better keep a low profile.

"To become a Super Saiyan, one must first possess a peaceful heart," Porunga did not dwell on Vegeta's attitude and instead explained the method. "Saiyans possess something within their bodies called S-Cells. These S-Cells require a peaceful heart to gradually strengthen. Once the S-Cells reach a certain quantity, one can transform into an ordinary Super Saiyan through a massive shift in emotion."

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta immediately turned his head to look at Lu Fan.

I strongly suspect that you and this dragon rehearsed your lines in advance.

Why is what you both said almost exactly the same?

"Then, can an ordinary Super Saiyan defeat Frieza?" Vegeta asked again.

Porunga did not answer.

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

"Enough, Your Highness, no need to ask so much," Lu Fan consoled. "Let us make a different wish."

"What wish do you intend to make?" Vegeta asked.

"Shenron, transport me, Vegeta, and the spaceship to a planet suitable for the growth of S-Cells," Lu Fan said in the Namekian language.

"Very well, this wish can be granted," the dragon Porunga replied.

"Wait a moment, let me say my goodbyes first," Lu Fan waved his hand.

Porunga: "..."

"Hey, what wish did you make?" Vegeta asked hurriedly.

"I asked the dragon to send us to a planet suitable for growing S-Cells. That's acceptable, right?" Lu Fan smiled.

"Hmph, that's fair enough," Vegeta nodded, offering no objection.

However, after speaking, Vegeta suddenly paused for a moment.

"Wait, didn't you say that living on Earth would allow for faster S-Cell growth?" Vegeta recalled Lu Fan's previous words.

"Indeed, but let the dragon choose for itself. Perhaps we might even end up back on Earth, who knows?" Lu Fan chuckled.

Vegeta was speechless.

The dragon Porunga: "..."

"Sorry for the trouble, Elder Moori," Lu Fan turned back to say to Elder Moori.

"It is no trouble at all. If you have time, feel free to come visit Namek again," Elder Moori smiled. "The gates of Namek are always open to you."

"Forget it, there aren't any beauties on this planet. It's boring," Lu Fan shook his head.

Elder Moori: "..."

The many Namekian villagers: "..."

"Alright, that's it then. Goodbye," Lu Fan waved.

"Whoosh!"

A red light flickered in the eyes of the dragon Porunga, rapidly enveloping Lu Fan, Vegeta, and the spaceship.

In an instant, Lu Fan and Vegeta simply vanished.

Lu Fan's wish was just that simple.

Lu Fan did not ask for anything like immortality.

Those things were impractical.

Lu Fan also did not ask to become the strongest in the universe.

To Lu Fan, only strength gained through one's own efforts was the most reliable.

Therefore, Lu Fan only asked for a wish that would overcome his own shortcomings.

Nothing more.

"Whoosh!"

When Lu Fan regained his senses, he found that he had arrived on a rather unfamiliar planet.

The ground of the planet was crimson, and the sky was orange.

There was a pale blue sun in the sky.

It was hard for Lu Fan to imagine that a blue sun could turn the sky orange.

But upon closer reflection, it made sense to Lu Fan.

The sun on Earth was yellow, yet the sky on Earth was blue.

That was because most of Earth was covered by oceans, and the sky reflected the blue of the sea.

The architectural style on this planet was somewhat similar to that of Namek, yet slightly different, filled with a sense of technology.

This planet was home to all sorts of different races.

Lu Fan and Vegeta had been teleported by the dragon Porunga directly onto a sparsely populated street.

When the people of these various races saw Lu Fan and Vegeta appear, they did not seem surprised.

It was as if they were accustomed to such things.

"Hey, where is this place?" Vegeta was stunned, casually grabbing a humanoid creature that looked like a frog.
