"Vegeta, you should go. In your current state, it is impossible for you to win against me!"

Just then, Son Goku suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Vegeta immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

"Kakarot, I lost to you this time, but the next time we meet, I will absolutely not lose again!"

"Alright!"

Son Goku nodded.

Seeing this, Vegeta immediately turned around and flew toward his spaceship.

A moment later, Vegeta started his spaceship and departed from Earth.

Krillin: "He... he's gone!"

"Indeed! After all, Gohan's strength is so great; there was no way he could have beaten Gohan!"

Yamcha said.

"That is true!"

Just then, Son Goku and Son Gohan flew over from the distance.

"Goku, Gohan!"

Krillin called out to the two of them with a face full of smiles.

Both of them nodded.

"By the way, Goku, why did you let that guy go? Once he gets stronger, he might come back to Earth again!"

Krillin asked.

"It's nothing. I just heard from King Kai that we Saiyans are the only ones left, so I thought I'd spare him this once!"

"I see!"

"Hmph!"

Piccolo let out a cold snort.

"Son Goku, you are always so soft-hearted; sooner or later, it will be the ruin of you!"

Son Goku smiled and said.

"Piccolo, since when did you become so concerned about me?"

"I am not concerned about you; I am only reminding you for Gohan's sake!"

"Gohan!"

As Son Goku spoke, he immediately glanced at Son Gohan and said.

"Piccolo, thank you for your hard work this past year. If it weren't for you, Gohan wouldn't have become as strong as he is now!"

Piccolo snorted coldly.

"Son Goku, don't you misunderstand. I only trained Gohan because I wanted to use his power to help fight against the Saiyans!"

Son Goku nodded with a smile.

"Since the battle is over, shall we all head back?"

"Mm!"

On the other side.

Having already left Earth, Vegeta stared at the space before him, his fists clenched tight.

"Kakarot, Son Gohan, the next time we meet, I will definitely defeat you both!"

Earth, Mount Paozu, Son Goku's home.

Son Goku and Son Gohan flew back to their doorstep.

"Knock, knock..."

Son Goku used his hand to knock on the door.

Before long, Chi-Chi came out and opened the door.

"Gohan!"

Seeing that Son Gohan was safe and sound, Chi-Chi immediately stepped forward and pulled him into a tight embrace.

Being hugged like this by Chi-Chi, Son Gohan felt a bit overwhelmed.

Just then, the Ox-King also walked out from the house and lifted Son Gohan up from the ground.

Son Gohan felt somewhat helpless about this.

He didn't actually like being carried, but there was no helping it; he was only five years old, still a child, and being carried was a perfectly normal thing.

"That Gohan, was the Saiyan defeated by you, or by Goku?"

After holding Son Gohan for a moment, the Ox-King quickly set him back down on the ground.

"It was Dad who defeated him!"

"Is that so? Then that Saiyan must not have been very strong!"

Upon hearing this, Son Gohan smiled but said nothing.

"Well then Gohan, now that the battle is over, it's about time you went back to your room to study!"

"Grandpa!"

Hearing this, Son Gohan immediately looked toward the Ox-King.

"This..."

The Ox-King wore a troubled expression; one was his daughter, the other his grandson.

No matter who he helped or didn't help, it wouldn't end well.

"Now Chi-Chi... why not let Gohan finish his lunch before he starts studying!"

"Dad!"

Hearing this, Chi-Chi immediately glared at the Ox-King with displeasure.

"Dad, we agreed yesterday that as soon as Gohan returned today, he had to study, yet here you are spoiling him again!"

"Alright, I know, Chi-Chi, I'll have Gohan go study right now!"

"That's more like it!"

After hearing this, Son Gohan glanced at Son Goku beside him.

Son Goku remained silent, clearly offering no hope of intervention.

Thus, Son Gohan didn't say anything more and "obediently" returned to his room to study.

Back in his room, Son Gohan took the computer Bulma had gifted him out of the Cultivation System's inventory.

Since there was no internet at home, Son Gohan had the system activate its own Wi-Fi.

Once the computer booted up, Son Gohan immediately took out the micro-robot he had captured today and, through a system scan, located the robot's computer interface.

Connecting via the computer, Son Gohan quickly cracked the data collected by the micro-robot.

The data gathered by the micro-robot was minimal, containing only the combat data from today's fight between Son Goku and Vegeta.

Son Gohan deleted this data and used the micro-robot to trace the supercomputer controlling it.

Son Gohan had originally intended to hack into this supercomputer, but its defenses were far too strong; with his current skills, there was simply no way to break in.

"System, Dr. Gero's supercomputer is too hard to hack. Is there any way you can help me break into it?"

The system coughed.

"Master, I am a Cultivation System, not an omnipotent one!"

Son Gohan smiled and said.

"So, there are things even you can't do!"

"It's not that I can't, it's just that I am a proper system. Helping someone hack a computer is definitely not something a righteous entity would do!"

"Is that so! In that case, I'll just study how to hack this computer on my own. If I can't do it in a day, I'll take two. If I can't do it in two, I'll take a month, a year!"

"..."

The system fell into a silent stupor.

Son Gohan was clearly threatening it.

"Well, Master, I've thought it over carefully. This Dr. Gero is a villain, so helping you is actually an act of justice!"

"Mm!"

Son Gohan nodded.

"Then System, how do I go about hacking this supercomputer?"

"Simple, leave it to me!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Son Gohan's computer successfully breached Dr. Gero's supercomputer.

"Awesome!"

Seeing the successful hack, Son Gohan immediately began browsing the data on Dr. Gero's supercomputer through his own screen.

Soon, Son Gohan found the files for Android 16 through Android 20.

Furthermore, Android 16 had already been successfully created by Dr. Gero.

As for Android 17 and Android 18, they were still in the process of being created.

Meanwhile, Android 19 and 20 existed only as blueprints.

"Android 17, Android 18!"

Son Gohan stared at the blueprints on the screen, lost in thought.

Android 17 and Android 18 were modified from humans, and Dr. Gero's control technology for them wasn't particularly mature.

Therefore, even if Son Gohan were to alter Dr. Gero's original programming, it wouldn't be very meaningful.

Android 19 and 20, however, were worth trying to reprogram; the only question was whether Dr. Gero would, like in the original story, eventually transform himself into Android 20.
