Of course, Karochi could guess what happened on Fidel Planet even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. This was also why he hadn't intercepted the Fidelians who were no longer in danger and chose to leave.

Although he could guess, he lacked the strength to stop it! He was already quite strong, but compared to Frieza, he wasn't even fit to carry his shoes.

At this moment, he had already begun his next stage of training: adapting from 100x gravity to 200x! He wanted to raise his base combat power as much as possible before reaching Namek, so that the multiplier granted by the Grand Elder's potential unlock would be even greater.

Yet, Karochi never imagined that the journey to Namek would actually take a full year!

One year later!

Gazing at the planet Namek as it gradually came into view, Karochi couldn't help but ponder: Why did I come here again? Damn it, a trip that should have taken six months had taken him and Tights a full year.

Ever since they had an abundance of energy, Tights had become absolutely insane! She was running off to planets every few days, even changing their established flight path just to visit other worlds.

They eventually got caught in the powerful gravitational pull of several neutron stars, and it was only thanks to a lush, green planet situated between those five neutron stars that they were able to stop and repair their ship.

What left Karochi most—no, what truly shocked him—was that this planet was inhabited by the elf race found in fantasy worlds. Those pointed ears! He almost thought he had transmigrated once again.

Furthermore, Karochi was truly conquered by their appearance; he silently offered up his knees! That pure beauty was simply indescribable; if he had to put it into words, any beauty one could imagine could be found in them. That pure, untouchable beauty was a real eye-opener for him.

Then there were the male elves—they were incredibly handsome! To put it this way, if they had debuted as a boy band in his past life, they would have absolutely crushed the competition; not a single one could compare!

Karochi and Tights were warmly hosted for several days. Tights was busy repairing the ship, while Karochi was busy gathering intelligence—and, ahem, building relationships!

He even met their princess, Rielbea. Never mind Karochi, even Tights was smitten! At that moment, the lilies of her hometown were in full bloom; Karochi even saw his sister Tights blushing, her speech becoming stuttered, and she kept glancing at Rielbea from time to time!

He actually felt like Tights had turned! The elf race was also very curious about the outsiders, Karochi and Tights, and kept asking them all sorts of questions. What puzzled Karochi most was that elves weren't born through reproduction like most races in the universe; instead, a new elf was born from a Tree of Life every so often.

Honestly, if not for the five neutron stars surrounding them, these overly perfect-looking male and female elves would surely have been sold all over the universe.

Their combat power wasn't high—the strongest, the elf princess, was only around 10,000—but they possessed many magical abilities! Karochi had originally wanted to learn a trick or two while having a heart-to-heart with Rielbea, but the next day, Rielbea indicated that he lacked the talent for it. They ended up living on that planet for a whole month before reluctantly leaving.

Before leaving, Tights even gave Rielbea a communicator.

To be fair, for a moment, Karochi really felt that living there was quite nice! He had almost forgotten to return home.

But then he thought about Zeno's later "erasure" punch, which would wipe out the entire universe, and he suppressed the restlessness in his heart. Beauty is but skin and bone! Amitabha, Amitabha.

Ever since then, Karochi had spent over two months in the gravity chamber, and Tights hadn't thought about running off to any more planets; instead, she locked herself in her room, constantly drawing something.

When they finally reached Namek, Karochi felt a sense of unreality. During this period, he had completely adapted to the 270x gravity environment! His combat power had reached a staggering 200,000, and with a standard Ki Burst, it could even reach 250,000.

"Is this Namek? It feels a lot like Rielbea's planet!" Tights' voice came through. Her hair was a mess, and he didn't know what she was busy with all day, but she wouldn't let Karochi into her room!

Karochi was speechless. He, a male, hadn't remembered that elf princess for this long! Sigh, who would have thought this trip to Namek would turn Tights.

He shook his head helplessly: "Sister Tights, take a good look, there are still big differences!"

The elves' planet was half the size of Namek, and Rielbea's planet radiated endless green light; just being covered by its glow made one feel refreshed!

"Tch! Whatever! How are we going down? Should we take the flight pod or just land the ship?" Tights asked, yawning out of boredom. She had no interest in Namek; Karochi had already lectured her to death about it on the way.

Karochi thought for a moment and decided to land the ship directly. After all, besides Namek, he still had to visit its neighbor, Yardrat!

And Karochi felt the hope of borrowing the Dragon Balls was quite high!

The ship slowly entered Namek's atmosphere, heading in the direction of the Grand Elder. Nail was the strongest warrior on this planet; following the strongest Ki was the right way to land.

At this moment, the Grand Elder, sitting on his massive throne, spoke slowly: "Nail, go and welcome them! We have guests."

Standing beside the Grand Elder, a sturdy Namekian bowed with his right hand on his shoulder: "Grand Elder, could the visitors be...?"

Nail was worried that Karochi's group might be a threat to the Grand Elder. Judging by the Ki the other party was emitting, he was no match for them.

"Rest assured, the visitor's Ki is very peaceful and possesses a clean, bright power!" the Grand Elder said slowly.

"Yes! Grand Elder." Although Nail didn't like the Grand Elder being disturbed, he would never disobey his orders. He walked out of the Grand Elder's residence and flew toward the landing site of Karochi's ship.

"I never thought there would be such a pure Saiyan! Truly surprising." The Grand Elder's voice echoed in the empty room. In truth, he was quite astonished; Saiyans were a bloodthirsty and warlike race!

Their aura should be extremely evil and violent.

"Little Chi, someone is coming toward us!" Tights, who had just finished tidying up the ship, saw her Scouter react: "Combat power is 24,000!"

Not knowing if they were friend or foe, Tights had to report this to Karochi!

"Don't worry, Sister Tights, we came here specifically for his Ki! The other party shouldn't have any ill intent." Karochi hadn't done anything bad; on the contrary, he had killed many great villains in the universe, so he shouldn't offend the Grand Elder.

Nail's figure appeared before Karochi and Tights.

"Huh! He really looks like Kami, just much older." Just as Karochi had explained, Namekians all had green skin! Karochi had said Namekians didn't eat, only drank water; could it be that they used this green skin for photosynthesis?

"Are you the ones disturbing the Grand Elder's rest?" Nail had no good feelings toward the two, his tone quite cold.

Uh! We didn't provoke you, did we? This foul temper was comparable to Piccolo in the early stages of the show.

"Um, we came to this planet... indeed to pay a visit to the Grand Elder." Karochi scratched his head, but as for disturbing him, he hadn't even gone there yet, had he?

Nail turned around and said: "Follow me. The Grand Elder said he wants to see you!"

Hm? Alright, this Grand Elder really has something! Using [Telekinesis], he made Tights and himself float up.

"I'll say it again: if there is no urgent matter, please return! Do not continue to disturb the Grand Elder's rest." With that, he took the lead and flew toward the Grand Elder's residence.

"Hey, Little Chi, is he not welcoming us!?" Tights asked curiously, as Nail's tone was still quite poor.

"The Grand Elder is advanced in age, so he really shouldn't be disturbed! Of course, we have a matter to attend to!" Karochi replied. After all, special circumstances called for special measures! Disturbing him for a moment wouldn't shorten the Grand Elder's lifespan.

"Ah! In that case, wouldn't it be very rude?" After all, the two of them hadn't made an appointment or anything.

What? You still want to go back to Earth and buy a crate of supplements to bring along?

Karochi curled his lip. What's with the rudeness! How many years has the Grand Elder lived? Do you think he still cares about such trifles? By that logic, everyone on this planet is his descendant.

Because they were quite close, the trio soon arrived at the Grand Elder's residence.

Upon seeing the Grand Elder, Tights was dumbfounded. This... this Grand Elder's size was just too massive, wasn't it?

"Welcome, young Saiyan and little girl from Earth who have traveled from afar!" The Grand Elder's face was kind, his voice gentle.

Tights was shocked. How did this Grand Elder know? Just as she was about to ask, Karochi stopped her. The Grand Elder possessed many strange psychic abilities; it wasn't that strange for him to know.

"Greetings, Grand Elder! It is rumored that the Grand Elder of Namek possesses the special ability to unlock human potential. We have come this time to increase our strength, and we hope the Grand Elder will grant our request." There was no need to beat around the bush with the Grand Elder; a direct approach was best. If he agreed, everyone would be happy; if not, well, there was nothing to be done.

"Wait, Grand Elder, you are advanced in years after all. If you use your power carelessly, it will greatly drain your vitality..." Nail hurriedly tried to dissuade him upon hearing this! These two detestable outsiders were actually trying to force the Grand Elder into such a thing.

The Grand Elder waved his hand, signaling Nail not to be agitated: "Unlocking the potential of others does not consume much of my energy. I simply did not expect you, a young Saiyan, to be so well-informed."

From beginning to end, the Grand Elder's kind expression never wavered. His gentle voice made Tights overlook his overly massive frame, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness to him.

"Very well, come forward!" the Grand Elder said. Nail wanted to stop him, but he could not defy the Grand Elder's word.

"Many thanks, Grand Elder!" Karochi stepped forward, rubbing his hands in excitement. He wondered just how much he could improve!

"Hehe! It is nothing. I can sense that your arrival seems to have caused some unpredictable changes to things that were originally set in stone. If Namek faces disaster, I hope you will lend a hand to help Namek!"

Uh! Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal even without me, but Karochi still patted his chest and promised: "Rest assured, Grand Elder. From now on, Namek is my second home!"

Tights looked at him with disdain. Karochi, who used to gorge himself on food back on Earth, had said the exact same thing while patting his chest!
