"What?" Tights was on the verge of tears.
"Tights, brace yourself. Whether your parents can pull through depends on these next three days," Jaco sighed.
"What is that supposed to mean? That's no help at all." Bulma shook her head, but suddenly the deeper meaning of Jaco's words hit her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she murmured, "What? You just said... Mom and Dad, they..."
"This friend is right, you need to prepare yourselves mentally." The doctor let out a helpless sigh as well. "If we truly cannot find an antidote for this poison... I'm afraid they will have to rely on their immune systems to fight it off. Whether they can survive depends on these next three days."
"But... why is Vegeta fine?" Bulma asked, puzzled.
"What? That little kid drank it too?" the doctor exclaimed.
The Capsule Corp family is truly something else.
Are you all just playing around with poison?
"Get him to the hospital immediately..." the doctor urged.
"That little kid... how much did he drink?" Tights asked.
"He said he drank two pounds... can't you see how drunk he is?" Bulma said.
"Perhaps he isn't just drunk; perhaps he's already kicked the bucket," Jaco sighed.
"Waaaah..."
Bulma burst into loud, wailing sobs right then and there.
"Wah... I don't want to be a widow..." Bulma cried heartbrokenly.
Tights: "..."
"I don't want to lose Mom and Dad either." Bulma kept wiping her tears as she quickly walked over to Vegeta and checked his breathing.
"Hey, it seems your sister is even more heartbroken about the widow thing," Jaco whispered.
"Shut up! Aren't you an elite Galactic Patrol officer? Think of something!" Tights scolded.
"If I could contact our Galactic Patrol headquarters and have them send over a top-tier healer, this poison could be neutralized," Jaco explained. "But don't forget, the communicator on my spaceship is broken. I have no way to reach headquarters..."
"This is a disaster." Tights let out a helpless sigh, then suddenly looked at Bulma. "Bulma, do you know how to fix a communicator?"
"Are you kidding? She's just a four-year-old child," Jaco shook his head.
"Don't let her age fool you, my sister is a genius," Tights said, then called out to Bulma, "Bulma, Jaco's communicator is broken. If you can help him fix it, maybe the Galactic Patrol can save Mom and Dad."
"I don't know how... I haven't learned that yet... but I can try." Bulma looked up and said to Tights, "Honestly, this family would have fallen apart long ago if not for me... making me fix a communicator, and I'm only four."
Tights didn't want to speak anymore.
"She says she's young now, but earlier she claimed she was already married," Jaco whispered into Tights' ear.
"There isn't a single normal person in our family..." Tights shook her head.
"By the way, Vegeta is fine. He's still breathing," Bulma added.
Doctor: "????"
The doctor was stunned, then hurriedly stepped forward to check Vegeta's body.
He was indeed still alive.
"He really drank two pounds?" the doctor asked.
"That's what he said himself; I don't know exactly how much he drank," Bulma shook her head.
"Your parents only had a tiny sip and they almost..." the doctor sighed, "I'm afraid your friend is beyond saving... if he really drank two pounds."
"Little girl... I can guarantee I'll contact headquarters to save your parents, but if your friend really drank two pounds, I can't promise he can be saved," Jaco added.
You drank two pounds of poison.
Even a Galactic Patrol healer wouldn't be able to save you.
However... I have a nagging feeling I've heard this kid's name somewhere before.
Where on earth did I hear it?
"Am I going to be a widow?" Bulma started brewing tears again.
"BOOM!"
Just then, a loud explosion erupted from Vegeta's body.
When they looked again, they saw white light flashing all over Vegeta's body.
The light was blinding, as bright as a burning sun.
"What's going on?" Bulma was terrified; she hurriedly ran away and looked at Vegeta from a distance.
"Is he going to explode from drinking too much poison?" Jaco was also stunned.
Tights immediately hid behind Jaco.
The doctor stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
Can you explode from drinking too much poison?
Am I dreaming today?
"Snap!"
Vegeta slowly levitated into the air and opened his eyes.
"Rumble!"
Immediately following, an increasingly powerful energy and blinding light erupted from Vegeta's body.
Endless energy radiated outward from Vegeta as the center.
"Boom!"
Vegeta dispersed the spreading energy, took a deep breath, and slowly descended from the air.
"Hoo..."
Vegeta exhaled the breath he had taken in, feeling refreshed and as if his body had undergone a qualitative sublimation.
Vegeta quickly sensed the intensity of the energy within him.
By now, Vegeta's combat power level could no longer be measured by a scouter.
After all, the maximum value this scouter could withstand was only a little over 50,000.
This scouter was more advanced than the one Cui had.
Vegeta could only judge his own combat power by sensing the energy intensity within his body.
This time, Vegeta felt that his combat power had likely reached the height of 3 million.
3 million!
Holy crap!
I drank two jin of Ultra Divine Water!
It forcibly raised my combat power from 12,000 to 3 million!
With this combat power level... if I could turn into a Super Saiyan, wouldn't I be able to easily crush Frieza?
The efficacy of the Ultra Divine Water is just too good!
I must keep drinking it.
Maybe I can drink my base combat power up to over 10 million.
Vegeta had slept for a total of more than 8 hours during this nap.
In these 8 hours, the Ultra Divine Water inside Vegeta's body had been completely digested.
Furthermore, the areas that had rotted due to the Ultra Divine Water had all been restored by Vegeta through his self-regeneration ability.
The Saiyan near-death experience combined with the potential power boost from the Ultra Divine Water allowed Vegeta's combat power to double and redouble in a short span of time.
This was the reason Vegeta's combat power was able to skyrocket to the 3 million mark.
Vegeta was overjoyed.
It seems my wish to Shenron for an immortal body was a very correct choice.
Although this immortality is not yet quite complete.
But it doesn't matter.
I'll have a chance to let the Namekian Shenron get an upgrade later.
Or, after encountering Super Shenron, I will have Super Shenron grant me a true immortal body.
What is most urgent now is to continue increasing my combat power.
