"Technological products?" Dr. Brief asked warily.

"Mr. Lin Chen, forgive my frankness, but you seem quite powerful already. The weapons on Earth..."

"No, Doctor, you've misunderstood. I'll be direct. There are only two technological products I need right now: a Medical Machine and a Gravity Room."

Dr. Brief froze. "A Medical Machine? A Gravity Room?"

Lin Chen glanced around, then pointed to the garden outside. "Doctor, let's go over there. I'll show you something."

With that, Lin Chen headed for the garden.

Dr. Brief was immensely wealthy. His garden alone was as large as a park.

Lin Chen found a flat patch of ground, waved his right hand, and took a Healing Tank from System Space—the one he had brought from Planet Vegeta.

The Healing Tank appearing out of nowhere left Dr. Brief dumbfounded.

"Th-this, Mr. Lin, how did you do that? Was it a Hoi-Poi Capsule?"

"No. Just think of it as one of my special abilities," Lin Chen said calmly.

Patting the Healing Tank, Lin Chen said, "This is a Healing Tank we use back home. It can fully heal someone with serious injuries in a short time. Doctor, I hope you can at least make a complete copy of it—and build us a hundred of them!"

"Once the Healing Tanks are done, I'll also need at least ten Gravity Rooms that can adjust artificial gravity. Our planet's gravity is ten times that of Earth, so the Gravity Rooms need to be able to reach at least twenty times Earth's gravity."

"These things are crucial to us Saiyans! The Gravity Rooms can wait, but I hope you can finish all one hundred Healing Tanks within a month."

Dr. Brief looked troubled. "Mr. Lin, considering that you saved my family and Tights, I can agree to do this for you."

"But I've never worked with either Healing Tanks or Gravity Rooms before, so I don't know if I can actually build them."

Dr. Brief was indeed a genius who had invented all sorts of remarkable technology, but even geniuses had their limits.

One of the things Lin Chen needed involved biotechnology, and the other involved gravity technology. Dr. Brief had never worked with either, so he wasn't entirely confident.

Just then, a voice rang out. "Dad, if it's a Healing Tank, then with a prototype already available, it shouldn't take long to copy one. After that, we can have the robots mass-produce them!"

"Huh?"

Dr. Brief and Lin Chen turned around and saw Bulma running out from behind a tree.

The little girl gazed excitedly at the Healing Tank Lin Chen had brought out, then smiled at her father as if hoping for praise.

"Really? Are you sure you can do it, Bulma?" Dr. Brief asked, still stunned.

"Sure! By the way, Big Brother Lin Chen, do you have an existing model of the Gravity Room you mentioned? If you do, I should be able to copy that pretty quickly too. I've been researching antigravity systems lately..."

Briefs gave Lin Chen an awkward smile. "Sorry, Mr. Lin. This is my daughter, Bulma. She may be young, but she's an even greater genius than I am."

"Is that so?" Lin Chen wasn't surprised by Briefs's words. After all, Bulma was probably the smartest character in the entire Dragon Ball world.

"Thank you, Bulma. You've been a huge help. If there's anything you want, just tell me and I'll make it happen," Lin Chen said with a smile, patting her on the head.

As Lin Chen patted her head, Bulma's face instantly turned bright red.

"Um... Big Brother Lin Chen, I heard my sister say that you can fly. Could you take me flying sometime?"

"That's all you want?"

"Mm-hmm!" Bulma nodded firmly.

"Dr. Brief, would it be all right if I took Miss Bulma for a little flight?" Lin Chen asked.

"Of course, of course. Go ahead." Briefs was a little worried, but he didn't dare refuse.

Lin Chen took Bulma's hand and lifted them both into the air.

"Oh my gosh! Hahaha, I'm really flying! This is amazing!"

Just like her sister Tights, Bulma wasn't afraid of flying at all. Instead, she urged him on. "Big Brother Lin Chen, can you go faster?"

"Of course."

Lin Chen drew Bulma closer and held her in both arms, then began to accelerate.

Protected by his ki, Bulma felt no discomfort, even though in an instant they were flying faster than a fighter jet.

Her little face was rosy, though, and the flight had clearly left a deep impression on her.

"Bulma, shall we head back?"

"No, Big Brother Lin Chen! Can we fly around a little longer?"

"Fly around a little longer?" Lin Chen thought it over, then suddenly brightened.

"In that case, how about I take you to see Kami?"

"Kami? Where? Is there really a god in this world?" Bulma looked around.

There were legends about Kami in this world too. Although Bulma was a child prodigy, she was still curious about myths and legends.

"That's right. Wait here. I'll take you to see him now!"

The places Lin Chen planned to take Bulma were Korin Tower and the Lookout.

Both places had already been on Lin Chen's planned route.

Since he was taking Bulma out for a look around anyway, he decided to bring the trip forward.

Korin Tower was in a remote location, far from the human world. Flying there from West City would take at least several hours.

But at Lin Chen's speed, it took them almost no time at all to spot Korin Tower soaring into the clouds.

As Lin Chen and Bulma approached, Korin began to tremble atop Korin Tower. "Th-that terrifying ki... How does that alien know about this place?"

Inside the Lookout, Kami's green face turned pale too. "Could that alien have found out about me?"

"Wow!"

Bulma stared at the distant tower, her jaw practically dropping.

She was an Earthling, after all, yet she had never known there was a place like this on Earth.

That tower had to be taller than the tallest building in the world. How had she never heard of it?

"Big Brother Lin Chen, is that where Kami lives?"

"That's Korin Tower, where the immortal lives. Kami's home is even higher up."

"Even higher?"

Bulma thought this was the most thrilling day ever. Not only had she met an alien, but she was about to meet an immortal and Kami too.

Her little face flushed with excitement.

A short while later, Lin Chen had brought Bulma to the main hall atop Korin Tower.

"Big Brother Lin Chen, where's the immortal? Where is he?"

As soon as they landed, Bulma looked around, completely ignoring Korin, who stood nearby with a look of utter astonishment.

"Ahem!" Korin cleared his throat. "Sorry, but I'm the immortal."

"Huh?" Bulma was startled. "Big Brother Lin Chen, the cat just talked!"

"He's not a cat. He's the immortal!"
