Sheep a Sheep

Seeing this, the Namekian immediately led the others to meet the Grand Elder.

Inside a three-story white castle stood a gigantic stone chair. Seated upon it was an extremely obese Namekian—the Grand Elder of the Namekians.

Just then, several Namekians suddenly flew in through a castle window.

As soon as they entered the castle, they immediately knelt before the Grand Elder.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

"Carl, what brings you here?"

"Grand Elder, there's a child named Son Gohan who says he's from Earth and wants to see you. He says he has something concerning Namek that he wants to discuss with you!"

The Grand Elder thought for a moment, then said,

"In that case, bring him here."

"But... Grand Elder, he seems to be a Saiyan!"

"That's all right. Bring him here."

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

Some time later, Son Gohan was brought before the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, I've brought him here!"

"Good. You can all leave. I'd like to speak with him alone."

"A-alone?"

Carl immediately grew concerned.

"It's all right. This child isn't a bad person."

"W-well, all right!"

After saying that, Carl immediately left with the other Namekians.

"You're Son Gohan, right?"

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

"What brings you here?"

"Grand Elder, do you believe I'm from the future?"

"I do!"

The Grand Elder thought for a moment before slowly replying,

"Then what exactly brings you here?"

"Grand Elder, Frieza and his men may come to Namek in a few months!"

"Frieza!"

"That's right. They're after the Dragon Balls on Namek, so I came to tell you that your people must relocate if you want to escape this disaster!"

The Grand Elder fell silent in thought for a while, then said,

"The universe is vast, but sooner or later, we'll be found. Son Gohan, could I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course, Grand Elder!"

"I'd like you to help us defeat Frieza. Can you do that?"

"I can, but you'll have to keep my origins as someone from the future a secret!"

"Agreed!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

"Also, I'd like to ask you for a favor, Grand Elder."

"What is it?"

"I'd like you to unlock my body's potential!"

"Very well!"

The Grand Elder readily agreed.

Seeing this, Son Gohan immediately walked over to him.

The Grand Elder placed a hand on Son Gohan's forehead. A white aura flowed from his hand and spread throughout Son Gohan's body.

After sensing the immense potential within Son Gohan, the Grand Elder's face filled with astonishment.

A moment later, the Grand Elder slowly lifted his right hand from Son Gohan's forehead.

"Done!"

Son Gohan nodded.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations, Master! Your battle power has exceeded 100 million. You've received a twentyfold Invulnerable Kaioken, Thornmail (60% damage reflection), and the Evil Containment Wave!"

As soon as the announcement ended, a pink Thornmail appeared in Son Gohan's inventory.

"Rewards granted. Please continue training hard, Master!"

"I've already passed 100 million?"

As he spoke, Son Gohan immediately opened his character screen to check.

His battle power had reached 110 million.

"So, Son Gohan, when will you help us deal with Frieza?"

"When he comes to Namek!"

"Wait until he gets here?"

"That's right. The universe is so vast, I have no idea where he is right now. Besides, we Saiyans can't survive in the vacuum of space. We can only wait until he lands on a planet before we can eliminate him!"

"In that case, I'll notify you as soon as he arrives on Namek!"

"Good. If there's nothing else, Grand Elder, I'll head back now."

The Grand Elder nodded.

Seeing this, Son Gohan used Instant Transmission and left Namek.

Not long after Son Gohan left, the Grand Elder immediately called Carl and the others back in.

"Grand Elder, where's Son Gohan?"

"He's already returned to Earth!"

"He went back?"

"Yes, but he brought us some very important news about Namek!"

"Very important news!"

The Grand Elder nodded.

Back on Earth, Son Gohan felt incredibly pleased.

At his current rate of training, it should have taken him more than ten days to break 100 million.

Instead, it had taken him only a few minutes.

"If only I could get stronger without training!"

"Master, that's the wrong way to think. Only by working hard and training to become stronger can you become truly powerful!"

"But I just want to be born powerful, like Broly!"

"Master, Broly's bloodline may be powerful, but he's still only a human. I can help you become a god and grant you an endless lifespan!

"Besides, didn't you say before that you wanted to obtain Zeno's power of erasure? As long as you work hard, one day you'll be able to do more than erase universes. Creating time and space, even entire universes, will be no problem!"

After hearing that, Son Gohan rubbed his chin with his right hand.

"System, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Master, do I seem like the type?"

"Yes!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"..."

"And System, you're kind of a chatterbox!"

"Master, are you complaining that I talk too much?"

"No. I just think you'd be better off staying quiet."

"Let me tell you a legend, there once was a family..."

The system immediately started playing a song.

"Master, this should be quiet enough, right?"

"..."

A moment later, Son Gohan returned to his room. A laptop sat inside.

He'd borrowed it from Bulma to "learn" about computers.

He said he'd borrowed it, but really, whenever he had some free time, he used it to write programs.

Recently, he'd been making a game called Sheep a Sheep.

It had been a hugely popular game in his previous life. It was somewhat like Match-3, but unlike Match-3, many of the tiles in Sheep a Sheep were stacked underneath others, so you couldn't see what was hidden below. And to reveal the tiles underneath, you first had to uncover the ones on top.

The game also had only two levels, and plenty of people played through the night without managing to beat the second one.

That was exactly why so many people who thought they were smarter than everyone else took on the game, hoping to show off.

Son Gohan had another reason for making the game: he wanted to earn money.

Son Goku's family had money, but he and Son Goku ate so much that, if they hadn't lived in the mountains, where all sorts of wild delicacies were readily available, the family would have been broke long ago.

That was also why Chi-Chi, in the original Dragon Ball story, had always wanted Son Gohan to study hard and earn money.
