Shenron said, "Your wish has been granted. Now, tell me your third wish."
The Namekian thanked him, then was about to tell Shenron that he didn't have another wish.
Just then, Wei Dong spoke up. "Are you sure you don't want to make a third wish? Since you've already summoned him, why not ask him about something for me first?"
Wei Dong asked the Namekian to check whether Shenron could grant immortality.
The Namekian had no choice. The boy had just made a wish that benefited them, so he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Shenron said, "I don't currently have that ability."
Wei Dong said, "Then is there anything that can extend my lifespan? If so, make that wish." The Namekian relayed his words to Shenron.
Shenron's eyes glowed red, and a bottle of black liquid appeared in midair. Shenron said, "The liquid inside can extend your life by several hundred years."
Wei Dong happily drank half of it and saved the rest for the Grand Elder. After all, if not for the Grand Elder, Wei Dong's battle power wouldn't have reached 1,314.
Shenron vanished into thin air, and the Dragon Balls scattered, flying off in different directions.
The elders went to look for their respective Dragon Balls. After all, the Dragon Balls had dispersed and flown away.
Then Wei Dong hurried to the Grand Elder's home and gave him the remaining liquid to drink. The Grand Elder slowly asked, "Young man, why did you do this?"
Wei Dong replied, "I have a feeling that in a few years, a crisis will befall the Namekians. Grand Elder, I know you can give birth to warrior-type Namekians. I hope you'll have a few more so they can help us survive this disaster."
The Grand Elder was startled. "All right, young man. I understand."
Then Wei Dong added, "Grand Elder, once the Dragon Balls are ready again, I suggest you wish for a pocket dimension where you can spend a long time, while only a short time passes outside."
The Grand Elder asked, "Does something like that really exist?"
Wei Dong said, "It definitely does. I just don't know whether Shenron can grant that wish."
"Goodbye, Grand Elder. I want to go out and see the world," Wei Dong said reluctantly.
The Grand Elder was taken aback. "Young man, you're leaving?"
Wei Dong replied, "Yeah. I want to see what's out there. I appeared on this planet out of nowhere when I was thirteen, and I've never been anywhere else. I want to see the world beyond it."
"Goodbye, Grand Elder." The Grand Elder stood outside and watched me leave. Now that he'd regained his youth, he could walk again.
Wei Dong looked back at the Grand Elder and said, "You don't have to see me off."
After saying that, Wei Dong climbed into the spaceship, asked the system for Earth's coordinates, and started the engines.
Wei Dong planned to train during the trip. He began at eight times gravity, but even that was difficult to handle. Damn, why do I feel like a fat guy?
At that moment, the spaceship announced that it would take two days to reach Earth. Wei Dong was surprised it would be so fast. Shenron's wish really was something else. In the meantime, the Senzu Bean Potted Plant in the system had also produced nineteen Senzu Beans. Wei Dong began training in earnest, first adapting to the gravity, then pushing himself as hard as he could. After all, a battle power of 1,314 was nothing impressive. Someone could easily kill me if I ran into the wrong person.
Normally, the trip would have taken just two days.
But whenever they passed certain planets, the system sometimes gave Wei Dong optional missions. They rewarded System Coins, and there was no reason to turn them down. They were all minor tasks. Of course, he'd never accepted missions where a planet was under attack. I know my limits.
That was why it took nine days to reach Earth. He'd also spent nine System Coins earlier to get the ability to sense ki. Without it, things would have been a real pain. Now he had just over seven coins left. They were so hard to save up.
After arriving on Earth,
Wei Dong asked the system whether it could store the spaceship.
The system said it could, but it would cost 0.5 System Coins.
Wei Dong immediately started cursing. What the hell? What a rip-off! You even charge me System Coins to put something away. Figures.
Wei Dong asked the system again, "Then, do I have to pay to take it out?"
The system replied, "No."
Well, that's pretty considerate. Considerate my ass. You're bleeding me dry! Other people see money and get greedy; you see coins and get greedy.
Wei Dong wanted to find Son Goku, but even though he'd learned to sense ki, he couldn't find him. Guess I'll have to rely on my big bro. "System, help me find Son Goku."
The system said Son Goku had already died and wasn't on Earth.
Wei Dong was stunned. What the hell? He's dead? Then he said to the system, "In that case, locate the Heavenly God Temple."
The system replied, "Understood."
Wei Dong followed the direction it gave him and flew off.
During his five years on Namek, he'd already learned to fly, so getting to the Heavenly God Temple was easy. Before long, he arrived.
Kami had been waiting for some time, as if he'd known Wei Dong was coming.
When he saw Wei Dong's tail, he was shocked. "A Saiyan!" Then he said, "I can't believe the Saiyans came so soon. Weren't they supposed to arrive in a year?"
Wei Dong was confused, but he more or less understood what was going on. From Kami's words, he could tell what was happening in the story.
Then Wei Dong said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not one of those two Saiyans. I came from another planet."
Kami was taken aback. He seemed doubtful, but then asked, "What brings you here?"
"I came to find Son Goku. Can you tell me where he is?"
Kami was shocked. "How do you know about Son Goku? You really are one of those two Saiyans!"
Wei Dong was at a loss for words. "Uh, no. I just want to train. I come from your home planet, Namek."
"For some inexplicable reason, I appeared on Namek when I was thirteen. I don't know what happened either. Then I came to Earth from Namek."
Kami was stunned. "I'm a Cosmic Being?"
