A Message from Bulma

After spending a few days enjoying themselves on that planet, Gogito and his companion set off on a new journey.

Gogito returned to the monotonous life aboard the spaceship.

One day, Tights received a message from her sister Bulma. The content stated that an alien had arrived on Earth a while ago; although he was defeated, he left behind information before dying, claiming his accomplices would arrive on Earth in one year. Earth would be in grave danger then, so she sent the message to ask her sister if she knew any powerful individuals who could help.

The message also provided a detailed description of the alien's features.

After receiving the message, Tights went straight to ask Gogito about the situation. Since the alien's features matched Gogito's, Tights suspected it might be a Saiyan.

"Hmm, a human with a tail, black hair, and an arrogant, domineering personality? It's highly likely to be a Saiyan."

After listening to Tights' description, Gogito replied.

It turned out the plot had reached the stage where Raditz arrives on Earth. From this point on, combat power began to skyrocket. By the time they reached Namek, Goku's combat power surged from 90,000 to 150 million in just a single day—truly terrifying. One can only attribute it to the heavens favoring the protagonist; if Frieza had just done a few push-ups while fighting, Kakarot would have been done for long ago.

Frieza only needed four months to achieve the power Goku took thirty-nine years to attain. Frieza's talent was truly, in a word, monstrous.

"Don't worry, those two guys aren't even as strong as Turles, whom we encountered before."

Hearing this, Tights finally let go of the anxiety in her heart.

Turles's combat power was at least twenty or thirty thousand, while Vegeta's combat power when he arrived on Earth was only eighteen thousand, and Nappa's was less than ten thousand.

"If you're still worried, we can just head back to Earth when the time comes."

With Gogito's assurance, Tights stopped worrying. She had witnessed Gogito's strength; any crisis on Earth could be handled easily.

"However, don't notify them just yet. Under the threat of death, it's easier to stimulate their potential."

Half a month later, Gogito and Tights arrived at a yellow planet: Planet Yardrat. That's right, Planet Yardrat. Gogito wanted to learn Spirit Control from the elders here.

During the Moro arc, Vegeta had trained here for a while and was able to beat Moro to a pulp, though he lost later on; still, one cannot deny the power of the Yardratians.

The spaceship landed on the edge of a city. A group of Yardratians appeared—green, pink, and blue—holding weapons and watching Gogito and his companion with vigilance.

One of them spoke up.

"A Saiyan? Are you here to attack us?"

Honestly, the reputation of the Saiyan race in the universe wasn't exactly good; everywhere they went, they were treated as enemies.

"No, no, I'm not here to invade. Besides, the Saiyans have already been wiped out by Frieza, so how could I possibly invade anyone's planet?" Gogito explained.

"I am here to learn."

Upon hearing that he was here to learn, the Yardratians put away their weapons one after another.

The Yardratians were quite famous in the nearby star systems and were known for their hospitality. Sometimes people would come from afar to learn from them, so they had seen this sort of thing many times before.

One little green fellow said, "Then follow me to see the Elder."

The little green fellow led the two to the front of a house and knocked on the door. "Elder Pybara, someone is here to learn."

"Please, come in," a voice echoed from inside.

After entering, they saw a massive blue Yardratian sitting on the floor.

"These two are the guests who wish to learn," the little green fellow introduced. "This is Mr. Gogito, and this is Ms. Tights."

"This is our Elder Pybara. All outsiders learn from Elder Pybara." With that, he turned and left.

"Young man, I can feel the powerful energy within you, but your control over that power is still quite crude."

Elder Pybara saw through Gogito's problem at a glance.

"I came here specifically to learn from you," Gogito said.

And so, Gogito stayed on Planet Yardrat.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

"Gogito, I never expected your talent to be so great. In just half a year, you have cultivated Spirit Control to this level; even I feel inferior."

That's right, in half a year, Gogito had cultivated Spirit Control to a level surpassing Elder Pybara and had learned all the other techniques as well. One can only say that the talent for Vegito provided by the system was simply too overpowered.

During these six months, Gogito had been studying diligently, while Tights had been learning about the various legends and powerful figures of the universe from Elder Pybara.

Seeing Tights' thirst for knowledge, Elder Pybara told her everything he knew.

Using Gogito as her prototype, Tights wrote a novel titled Legend of the Universe. The story followed a young girl traveling through the universe who meets a powerful person on a planet; the two go on adventures together, growing stronger and stronger, eventually becoming a legend of the universe.

Now, Gogito and Tights were preparing to leave. Gogito had learned just about everything he could; the rest would have to be realized through actual combat.

"Goodbye, Elder Pybara. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to find me."

Watching the direction the spaceship departed, Elder Pybara sighed with emotion, "Gogito's potential is unfathomable. The universe will surely remember his legend."

Meanwhile, on a small planet along Snake Way, Goku had just arrived at King Kai's Planet today. It had taken Goku nearly half a year to reach King Kai's Planet, leaving him only half a year to train.

King Kai had said that there were 158 days until Vegeta and Nappa reached Earth. Goku had to adapt to ten times gravity within this timeframe and learn the Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb.

Meanwhile, the Earth's warriors were at Kami's Lookout, receiving instruction from Kami and Mr. Popo.

Gohan and Piccolo were training out in the wild. It must be said, Piccolo is the nanny of the Son family; he's raising Gohan now, and in later movies, he even picks up and drops off Pan at school, having learned to use a smartphone for that very purpose—all without a salary. He is truly the ultimate sucker.

Now, there was less than half a year left until the Saiyans arrived on Earth.

After a long period of time, Gogito and his companion finally arrived at Earth.

"Woohoo, finally here!"

Gogito looked at the Earth outside the window, saying with some excitement. He had been driven nearly insane by this boring journey. Once he returned to Earth, he would definitely make Bulma build a new spaceship. Tights' ship had been designed with only herself in mind; it wasn't built very large, and the interior layout was set up for her to write novels, leaving absolutely no room for Gogito to move around.

West City, Bulma's home.

Bulma was currently improving the scouter that Raditz had left behind. After she took the device apart, she discovered a bug hidden inside, which broke her out in a cold sweat.

She hurriedly tried to contact Krillin and the others, but since they were all training at Kami's Lookout, she couldn't reach them at all.
