"What? Ten million? Can't you lower it a bit? How about two hundred and fifty thousand?"
Sun Wumian found Fortuneteller Baba, but he never expected her to open her mouth so wide, demanding ten million Zeni just to help him.
"No way. I already gave you a free reading last time. Going to the Other World is much more troublesome, so ten million isn't much at all."
Fortuneteller Baba refused to budge no matter what.
This really stumped Sun Wumian. A single penny can defeat a hero, and he had no idea where to find that much money on such short notice. He couldn't exactly go out and rob someone.
To his own surprise, Sun Wumian eventually scraped together the ten million Zeni, successfully convinced Fortuneteller Baba to help, and traveled along Snake Way to North Kai's Planet.
The price was serving as a live-in chef at Bulma's house for an entire month.
It took Goku six months to run Snake Way, but his combat power was only in the hundreds back then. Given Sun Wumian's current strength, he made it in a single day.
"Hey, Bubbles, I need to see King Kai."
"Ooh-ooh-ooh..."
"Oh, he's inside? He'll be out in a second."
King Kai walked out, wearing his sunglasses and signature uniform, his skin a distinct shade of blue.
"System, check in at King Kai."
[Ding~ Check-in at King Kai failed. Target's combat power is far below the host's; nothing happened.]
Sun Wumian had originally hoped that checking in might allow him to learn the Kaioken or some other technique, but it was clearly a failure.
"Hey, who are you? What do you want here?"
"I'm Sun Wumian. I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, King Kai," Sun Wumian said politely.
"Is that so? Don't you think that joke I just told was hilarious? Hehehe, don't be shy, go ahead and laugh." King Kai suddenly started laughing to himself.
"Uh... Hahahaha! King Kai is truly King Kai, how brilliant." Sun Wumian was confused at first, but then remembered King Kai's penchant for bad humor and pretended to double over with laughter.
"This King Kai is a genius of comedy. Tell you what, if you can make me laugh with a joke, I'll answer your questions," King Kai said with a straight face.
"Alright. Besides asking some questions, I also want to learn the Kaioken. Is that possible?"
"The Kaioken? That's my secret signature move. But it's not impossible—it just depends on your standards. I don't laugh easily, you know."
"Hmm... Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain, there was a temple. In the temple, there was an old monk and a young monk. The old monk was telling the young monk a story. The story went: Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain, there was a temple. In the temple, there was an old monk..."
Sun Wumian went straight for the ultimate anti-joke.
"Pfft! Pffft! Hahaha..." King Kai rolled on the ground laughing. "Damn it, kid, you're not simple at all. Are you a professional?"
Afterward, Sun Wumian asked for the location of the Yardratian planet and prepared to start learning the Kaioken.
"The Kaioken isn't easy to master. First, let me see what you're capable of."
"My capabilities?" Hearing this, Sun Wumian moved, circling the tiny planet countless times in an instant.
So fast? King Kai was stunned.
"Your strength is decent enough. You are indeed qualified to learn the Kaioken I worked so hard to create."
After that, Sun Wumian stayed on King Kai's planet to learn the Kaioken.
Two months later, Sun Wumian traveled along Snake Way once more and returned to Earth, as he had agreed with Fortuneteller Baba to pick him up at this time.
"Shenron, appear and grant my wish!"
Arriving at Bulma's house, Sun Wumian took the Dragon Ball he had left there out into the yard and summoned Shenron.
Before this, the spaceship had already been modified. He had asked Bulma to input the coordinates and learned how to operate it, then stored it directly into his system space.
The sky turned black in an instant, and a moment later, it returned to daylight.
Sun Wumian had already been teleported away, his destination: the Yardratian planet.
"Hmm? It's quite lively. Is this the Yardratian planet?" Sun Wumian took a rough look at his surroundings; he seemed to be in a massive, modern city.
Chattering away, a group of Yardratian gathered around Sun Wumian, casting curious glances his way.
"Hey, are you an alien?" Several Yardratian walked up to Sun Wumian, and one of them asked.
Fortunately, Sun Wumian had learned the universal language of the universe from King Kai, otherwise, he wouldn't have understood a word they were saying.
"From your perspective, I suppose so. My name is Sun Wumian, and I'm an Earthling," Sun Wumian replied in the universal language.
"Hey! Welcome, Sun Wumian."
The Yardratian greeted him very warmly.
"Hehe, sorry to intrude. Actually, I came here to learn the technique known as Instant Transmission. I wonder, among all of you, who knows this move?"
"Who? Sorry, sorry. Actually, there's only one of me here."
The large, lively crowd of Yardratian vanished in an instant, leaving only the one who had spoken.
Only then did Sun Wumian realize the bustling crowd had been an illusion.
"Our strength is very weak, so to avoid being looked down upon, we usually increase our numbers a little."
"Increase..." Sun Wumian recalled that multiplication was achieved by controlling that so-called Spirit, which was essentially ki.
"Follow me, I will take you to see the Elder."
Sun Wumian heard this and followed along. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; that Elder should be the Yardratian who knows Instant Transmission.
"I see, I understand. You wish to learn Instant Transmission. That is possible, but I have a request. It is clear that you possess immense power, and I hope that if our planet ever faces a catastrophe in the future, you will be willing to lend a hand."
Sun Wumian already knew that this Elder who could use Instant Transmission was named Piraba.
"That goes without saying."
"In truth, everyone on our planet knows how to control Spirit, and Instant Transmission is achieved by manipulating that Spirit. Therefore, first, you must learn to control your Spirit."
Elder Piraba made it sound simple, but when it came to Sun Wumian, it became incredibly difficult. No wonder it took Goku so long just to master the single technique of Instant Transmission.
Fortunately, Sun Wumian had been mentally prepared, and before leaving, he had brought along plenty of food, all stored within his system space, so he didn't have to worry about a lack of delicacies here.
As long as he could learn Instant Transmission, nothing else was a problem.
