"By the way, as your payment, this Capsule Corp Capsule contains all kinds of delicious fish and enough seasonings to last you for decades."
As He Lingxuan spoke, he tossed out a Capsule Corp Capsule.
Seeing it, Korin hurriedly caught it and nodded.
"Also, a kid should be climbing up soon. You ought to know him well—he's Son Goku's son, Son Gohan. I'll have to trouble you to guide his training when he gets here."
After giving his instructions, He Lingxuan continued flying above Korin Tower. He wanted to meet Kami.
"Good grief, that scared the life out of me, meow!"
Korin licked his paw and glanced outside the tower. Yajirobe, whom He Lingxuan had kicked off, was nowhere to be seen. Korin sighed, but didn't say anything.
After checking what was inside the Capsule Corp Capsule, Korin's expression instantly changed from fear to delight.
Just as he was about to feast on the whole fish banquet, he seemed to remember something. He carefully put away the crystal He Lingxuan had tossed him before starting to chow down.
Earth, Kami's Lookout.
Kami and Mr. Popo, who had witnessed everything, looked rather troubled. When they saw He Lingxuan heading for Kami's Lookout, Kami had even considered hiding it.
But after thinking about the terrifying power He Lingxuan had unleashed beyond Earth some time ago, he abandoned the idea.
After all, his frail body couldn't withstand that kind of ordeal. The gap in strength was simply too great—even Son Goku wasn't a match for him.
At the thought of all this, Kami suddenly sighed.
"Alas! What exactly does this outsider want? If he's a good person, why did he just kick Yajirobe off the tower, leaving him who knows whether he's dead or alive? But if he's a bad person, he hasn't slaughtered any humans."
"What puzzles me is why he went on a killing spree in the depths of the ocean some time ago."
Questions swirled through Kami's mind. As Earth's guardian, he could see everything He Lingxuan did on the planet, so he knew very well just how powerful He Lingxuan was.
Mr. Popo, standing nearby, saw Kami's troubled expression and tried to reassure him.
"Guardian, there's no need to be so anxious. During his time on Earth, apart from the way he just mercilessly attacked Yajirobe over the Senzu Beans, for some reason, he hasn't gone too far. Even after defeating Son Goku and Piccolo, he didn't finish them off. He's even training Son Goku's son, Son Gohan."
"Clearly, he has his own principles and sees things differently from us. Besides, with his strength, even if he did decide to do something, we couldn't stop him, could we?"
After hearing Mr. Popo's earnest explanation, Kami slowly relaxed. That was right. If He Lingxuan decided to do something, they couldn't resist anyway. They could only let things take their course. But as Earth's guardian, Kami truly didn't want to see the world drenched in blood.
As they spoke, the sound of rushing air rang out. He Lingxuan had arrived at Kami's Lookout at incredible speed.
Seeing Kami and Mr. Popo, who looked almost exactly as they had in the Dragon Ball anime he'd watched as a child, He Lingxuan smiled for once.
After all, when he'd seen Yajirobe waste the Senzu Beans, his anger had been beyond words!
In the Dragon Ball World's Future Timeline, Earth wouldn't have fallen into such desperate straits if they'd had enough Senzu Beans. Of course, that was also because Akira Toriyama had made the beans so overpowered; perhaps he'd wanted to limit their supply.
But no matter what, as someone living in the Dragon Ball World, He Lingxuan couldn't forgive that kind of behavior. One bean could keep you full for ten days—why waste them like that?
When he'd seen that scene, his anger had made him want to kill someone for the first time. In this dangerous world, no one could guarantee that disaster wouldn't strike the very next moment. This wasn't an anime or manga, nor was it a novel.
Every additional Senzu Bean meant another chance at survival. That was no joke.
With the Senzu Beans, the Saiyan ability to grow stronger after recovering from injuries, and diligent training without having to worry about hidden injuries, He Lingxuan was even confident he could grow stronger without the system as a cheat.
But it was all in the past now. At worst, he could ask Shenron later whether he could get more Senzu Beans. If not, he could ask how to grow them quickly instead. There were always more solutions than problems.
"Hi, nice to meet you! I assume you two are Earth's guardian and his attendant? I'm glad to meet you. I may have to trouble you in the future."
Hearing He Lingxuan introduce himself, Kami and Mr. Popo exchanged a glance, then answered almost in unison, "No trouble at all."
"I just wanted to ask what you've come to Earth for, and what brings you to Kami's Lookout."
Kami asked cautiously, afraid of angering the powerful man who could kill him with a flick of his hand.
"Oh, nothing major. I'd just like to use some areas of Kami's Lookout for training. I'll bring that kid Son Gohan along, too. Oh, right—he's Son Goku's son."
Hearing this, Kami finally relaxed and quickly replied, "Of course, you're welcome to train here. It's just that Kami's Lookout doesn't have any particularly good training areas. I hope you won't mind."
"Kami, surely you're joking. Don't you have a training room where time passes differently inside and out? It's called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, right?" He Lingxuan said with a smile, watching Kami's expression.
"Uh, well, we do have that place, of course. But the conditions are extremely harsh, and the temperature difference between day and night is enormous. The gravity inside is ten times Earth's. An ordinary person couldn't survive there, let alone train."
Kami kindly tried to talk He Lingxuan out of it, hoping he would abandon the idea.
But clearly, entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was exactly what He Lingxuan had in mind. Did he really think He Lingxuan didn't know what it was like inside?
After all, it was the most overpowered training ground in the original story. If each person weren't limited to two days inside, it would be even better—even if you had to reach Super Saiyan 3 before you could force your way through space to get out.
"Then don't worry about me, Kami. Just tell me where it is, and I'll come train there every few days."
After answering Kami, He Lingxuan waited for his reply, confident that Kami wouldn't refuse.
Why did he want to wait a few days before training there?
Because he needed to make a wish to Shenron.
And Son Gohan's training would take some time, too. By now, he should be nearly at Korin's place, right?
As He Lingxuan thought this, he heard Kami's response.
