The next day, Gogito rose early, intending to attempt his transformation into a Super Saiyan 4.

Gogito traveled to the other side of the planet, fearing that the destructive power of his Great Ape form might inadvertently harm Tights.

Gogito raised his hand to condense an artificial moon and tossed it into the sky. To avoid shredding his clothes, he stripped them off before turning his gaze toward the artificial moon above.

Thump-thump, thump-thump.

Gogito's heart suddenly began to race, beating faster and faster. Then, brown fur sprouted all over his body, and his frame rapidly expanded until he was a Great Ape the size of a small mountain.

A long time passed, but Gogito saw no further changes. He sat directly on the ground, staring at his coat of brown fur, and fell into deep thought.

Why hadn't he turned into a Golden Great Ape? Was his transformation posture wrong? Was his power insufficient? Or was it because he hadn't lost his sanity? That shouldn't be it; logically, he should be able to reach Super Saiyan 4. Which step had gone wrong?

Gogito crushed the artificial moon and tried again. This time, he transformed into a Super Saiyan first, then into a Great Ape, but the result remained the same. Unwilling to give up, he tried several more times, yet still failed.

"Sigh, forget it. Things will work out in the end." Gogito had no choice but to give up. In any case, his current strength was sufficient; he would let the Super Saiyan 4 transformation happen when it was meant to.

After spending a few days together, Gogito and Tights grew familiar and could be considered good friends. Every time Tights went out these past few days, she encountered dinosaurs, but fortunately, with Gogito following, the creatures were finished off before they could even get close.

A few days later, Tights's spaceship finished recharging, and she prepared to continue her adventure. Gogito hadn't been idle; he planned to join her and had prepared plenty of meat. Tights had already witnessed the sheer scale of a Saiyan's appetite over the past few days, and since she didn't have enough food to sustain him, Gogito had to fend for himself. This made life miserable for the local wildlife; over the past few days, the creatures running on the ground, flying in the sky, and swimming in the water had all been ravaged by Gogito.

With everything ready, Gogito and Tights embarked on their journey.

A few days later, Gogito lay bored on the sofa, watching Tights's pen move rapidly across her notebook, and asked, "Tights, how much longer until we reach the next planet? I'm so bored."

Gogito had been stifled these past few days. Without a phone or computer to pass the time, and unable to train, he had no one to keep him company while Tights wrote her novel.

"It's not that fast; it will take a few more days," Tights replied impatiently. She had been annoyed to death by Gogito these past few days. Aside from the first day, he had pestered her constantly, asking if they were there yet. It wasn't that simple; her ship wasn't particularly advanced, and its speed wasn't high, so every trip took seven or eight days.

She used that time to record her experiences from the previous planet as material. Usually, she was alone, and seven or eight days was just enough to finish her notes, but Gogito's constant pestering had slowed her progress significantly. If not for his impressive combat skills, she never would have brought him along.

Suddenly, a violent jolt threw both Gogito and Tights to the floor. Gogito clutched his head. "That hurts!"

"What happened?"

Tights scrambled up and ran to the window, looking at the turbulence of meteorites rushing toward them. She stood up, panicked, and said, "It's over, it's over! We ran into a meteorite field. We might actually die here today."

Tights ran to the control room and began maneuvering the ship to dodge the debris.

The ship twisted and turned through space, while Gogito was tossed around inside until he was dizzy.

After a while, the ship stabilized. Gogito climbed up from the floor and asked, "Are we safe, Tights?"

"We've safely passed through the turbulence."

No sooner had she spoken than the ship began to vibrate again. The two looked up to see a meteorite dozens of times larger than the others hurtling toward them from the distance, reaching them in the blink of an eye.

"It's over, it's over! Such a huge meteorite—we can't dodge it. What do we do?"

Tights was on the verge of tears. She hadn't expected to die today; she hadn't even become a great novelist yet!

Suddenly, a powerful suction force appeared, causing Tights to stumble and fall to the floor.

At that moment, Gogito appeared at the front of the ship, looking at the massive meteorite before him without a ripple of emotion in his heart.

Gogito brought his hands together at his waist. "Ka-me-ha-me-HA!"

A blue beam of energy slammed into the incoming meteorite. Before the rock could even hold for a second, it was blasted into cosmic dust.

Gogito returned to the ship, and Tights flew over, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and bursting into tears. "I thought we were done for! Waaaah!"

Gogito was at a loss. Having lived two lifetimes without ever holding a girl's hand, the current situation left him bewildered.

The dating tips he had read in his previous life were long forgotten.

Suddenly embraced, Gogito reacted quickly, reaching out to catch the person crying like a little kitten in front of him and comforting her softly, "It's okay, it's okay."

Tights's behavior wasn't entirely unexpected. Gogito was handsome, and during their adventure over the past few days, he had displayed immense power. It was hard for a woman not to be attracted to a man who was both handsome and strong.

Moreover, Bulma had a severe case of "flower-girl" syndrome, and as her sister, Tights would at least have inherited a bit of that.

In this moment of life-and-death crisis, Gogito had appeared like a hero, filling Tights's heart.

Don't ask; if you did, the answer would be love at first sight.

Under Gogito's comfort, Tights's emotions quickly stabilized. Once she came to her senses and realized she was being held in Gogito's arms, her face turned bright red. She scrambled up, "Thank you, Gogito."

Then, she fled the scene at high speed.

Gogito was left standing there, stunned, staring at the door she had closed. Finally, he realized what had happened and let out a silly grin.

After this incident, the relationship between Gogito and Tights became somewhat subtle, needing only a thin veil to be pierced.

Tights felt a sense of inner conflict; she and Gogito had only known each other for a few days, yet things had already progressed to this point. However, her understanding of Gogito remained minimal, leaving her feeling inevitably anxious.

On an unknown planet, a guy with a crab-like head was laughing maniacally in the air. Behind him stood a colossal tree, while his subordinates were busy burning, killing, and looting everywhere, leaving the people to flee in a desperate frenzy.

"Wuu~ wuu~ wuu~"

"Heh~ heh~ heh~"

"Someone, please save us!!"

"Run for your lives!!"

"Hahaha~~"

A terrifying atmosphere was spreading across the planet.
