He Went to Take a Bath, and Suddenly Everything Exploded

Son Goku had already made his way over to Vegeta.

Vegeta stood atop a cliff, gazing into the distance without moving.

Trunks stood behind him, silently watching his back.

"Trunks, how's your training going?" Goku suddenly appeared beside them and asked.

Trunks hurriedly turned around. When he saw it was Goku, joy instantly spread across his face.

"Dad thinks I'm too much of a nuisance and won't train with me," Trunks explained helplessly, then glanced at Vegeta on the cliff. "He's been standing there for three days and nights!"

Seeing how determined Vegeta was, Son Goku felt a touch of admiration. "It's all right. I'll go talk to him," he told Trunks.

With that, Goku gave a little hop and landed right behind Vegeta.

Vegeta sensed Goku's energy but didn't turn around right away.

He was still trying to figure out how he could train to surpass the Super Saiyan level.

And he had to do it in a short time. The situation was dire, and he wouldn't have much time to train.

"Vegeta, I know a place where one year of training is equal to one day in the outside world. Would you like to go?"

Son Goku got straight to the point.

Hearing this, Vegeta was somewhat tempted.

He turned around, looked at Goku's smiling face, and said coldly, "Where is it? Take me there!"

"Heh, I knew you'd be interested," Son Goku said with a faint smile, pointing toward the sky. "It's the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at the Lookout!"

At that, Vegeta's expression finally eased. He no longer looked as dejected as before.

Before he could ask when they could go, Goku spoke again. "But I'm not planning to train with you, because only two people can enter at a time."

"I want you and Trunks to go in together!"

Son Goku might have seemed a little dim, but when it mattered, he always came up with a solution.

He was doing this because he wanted to improve the relationship between father and son.

After spending a year training together, surely they wouldn't be as tense with each other as they were now!

"Fine. I agree!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Vegeta nodded.

Then he added, "But we need to be the first ones to go in!"

He was desperate to get stronger and didn't want to waste a single second.

Give him a year, and he was confident he could take down either the Androids or Cell.

If Goku went in first and defeated Cell and the others as soon as he came out, what would be the point of Vegeta training afterward?

Seeing that Vegeta had agreed, Son Goku smiled. "It doesn't matter who goes in first. If you want to train, you can have the spot."

And just like that, the two of them settled on a training plan.

Meanwhile, after several days on the road, the Androids finally arrived at Goku's home.

But when they pushed open the door and entered, the place was empty. They had come all this way for nothing!

"Damn it, there's no one here!" Android 17 said with a frown, kicking the door.

They had finally gotten out, but had spent all their time on the road and hadn't made it here sooner.

They hadn't expected Son Goku to be away from home. It was a letdown.

"Could Son Goku have gone to Master Roshi's place? According to my data, Master Roshi was Son Goku's teacher, and they often met," Android 16 said calmly.

Android 17 nodded. That made sense to him.

His memories showed the same thing: when Son Goku was young, he had trained with Master Roshi.

At a time like this, the most likely place for him to be hiding was Kame House.

"Hey, look! There's a house over there. Why don't we go in and ask?" Android 18 said, pointing to a simple little house nearby.

The area around them was barren and deserted. Anyone living next to Son Goku had to be close to him.

Rather than make another trip for nothing, they could ask around. They might find a clue!

Android 17 took a look and said casually, "Sure. Let's go ask."

Android 16 had no objections. He followed the siblings in silence.

When they were just a couple of steps from the little house, Android 17 raised his hand, and a purple light flared at his fingertip.

"Whoosh!"

A beam shot from his finger.

"Boom!"

It hit its target dead-on, and the house instantly crumbled to ash amid flames and an explosion.

Android 18 frowned slightly at the sight. "Android 17, how could you do that? Weren't we going to ask him something? What if you killed him?"

The corner of Android 17's mouth lifted in a carefree grin. He turned to her and said, "I controlled the force carefully. I wouldn't hurt anyone else!"

"You're impossible," Android 18 said helplessly, shaking her head.

At the same time, she turned toward the site of the explosion.

But when she saw what was in front of her, her eyes widened. A faint blush appeared on her face.

She stared for a few seconds before coming to her senses. Then she covered her face and turned away.

Seeing Android 18 acting strangely, Android 17 hurriedly looked over.

He hadn't known what to expect, but the sight shocked him. How could it be this guy?

Android 16 had already assumed a battle stance, his expression grave.

The one who had shaken them up was Li Lin, who had been home the whole time.

"Hah! Phew!" Li Lin took a deep breath and said coldly, "So it was you lot. I was wondering who'd attack me while I was taking a shower! What a move. What a move!"

He'd been in the shower, brushing his teeth, singing, and playing with his bird.

He'd already lathered shampoo into his hair but hadn't started rinsing it when the explosion suddenly went off, nearly scaring him to death.

And now his house was gone, his clothes were gone, and he was standing there completely naked, with a huge clump of suds on his head.

"Um, yes. S-sorry. We didn't mean to. We didn't know that was your home!" Android 17 hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, seeing that Li Lin looked ready to explode at any moment.

Li Lin powered up, blasting the water droplets from his body and the suds from his head.

But he was still naked, with the cold wind blowing and the hair on both ends of him swaying in the breeze!

He slowly opened his mouth and said coldly, "Do you think an apology will help now? And what do you mean, you didn't know it was my home? Does that mean you can just destroy other people's homes?"

Li Lin grew angrier with every word as he strode toward them. "I'm telling you, no one has ever made me this angry before. You're the first. Are you ready to face my wrath?"
