Dr. Brief's Good News

At this moment, Jiang Yun received a message from the Martial Alliance: the data he had previously provided to Dr. Brief had yielded breakthrough progress.

Furthermore, a finished product was already available. Upon hearing this news, Jiang Yun hurried back to the Martial Alliance without a moment's delay.

The moment he saw Bu Chen, Jiang Yun gave him a big hug, clearly in an exceptionally good mood.

"By the way, come with me to see the Doctor quickly; I can't wait any longer!"

Jiang Yun was decisive and efficient at this moment.

"Alright, since you're in such a rush, Brother Yun, let's go immediately!"

Watching Jiang Yun so excited, Bu Chen couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. He didn't understand why Jiang Yun was so obsessed with a spaceship; weren't they doing just fine on Earth?

It was no wonder Bu Chen and the others felt this way, but Jiang Yun knew the future developments and intended to lay his plans early. The universe was the biggest piece of his puzzle; the sooner he acted, the more advantageous it would be for him!

Moreover, Earth's martial arts foundation was no longer enough to allow Jiang Yun to progress rapidly, and time would not allow him to wait slowly. These few years of development were a golden era; the enemies were not yet too powerful, and Jiang Yun also wanted to temper himself in the universe.

Flowers in a greenhouse could never become strong. Martial arts must soar; martial arts were not like cultivation where one could sit in quiet meditation. Martial arts required countless battles to achieve anything!

Furthermore, there was much martial arts knowledge and technique in the universe that Jiang Yun wanted to obtain. If he could acquire the Fusion Technique of the Metamor people, even if Earthlings only had a few people with a battle power of a few million, they could crush Frieza after performing the fusion.

The reason humans were different from beasts was that humans possessed wisdom and could develop various moves to deal with fierce predators. Like a tiger facing Frieza, the tiger would surely not know how to utilize weapons.

But it was precisely this mindset that meant Frieza, despite his powerful battle strength, did not seek the root of true strength. Because he had no opponents and had never been beaten down by the harsh realities of the world, he never trained diligently, eventually leading to his defeat by the Saiyans.

The trip to the universe was something Jiang Yun was determined to secure!

As for why he didn't rely on Shenron to obtain those divine techniques from the original story, Jiang Yun had his own considerations.

Nothing else!

The karma was too great!

If he relied on Shenron to learn those skills, the dragon could grant them to him, but it could naturally take them back as well. If he reached a certain level in the future and came into contact with the secrets of the Dragon Ball World—for instance, the Dragon God Zalama in the shadows—and if he and that entity were not necessarily in the same camp, such a powerful being would certainly not spread the Dragon Balls without a purpose.

Jiang Yun only believed in himself; only what he cultivated himself was truly in his own hands.

Since he had come to this world, Jiang Yun was confident he would be no weaker than anyone else.

Jiang Yun did not speak while on the road. By the time they reached Capsule Corp, Bu Chen had learned that Jiang Yun had a deep connection with the company, and Jiang Yun had instructed him to let him know whenever the company sent a message.

They successfully met Dr. Brief, and to their surprise, Dr. Brief's wife was also present this time.

"Ohoho! Would this handsome young man like to go on a date with me?"

The one speaking was clearly Dr. Brief's wife.

This sentence made sweat bead on Bu Chen's forehead. He thought to himself, Could Brother Jiang Yun have flirted with Dr. Brief's wife? This is way too bold!

Jiang Yun couldn't help but have black lines appear on his forehead. This was far too blunt. Although he knew from the original story that Dr. Brief's wife was eccentric, this was a real world; wouldn't saying something like that cause Dr. Brief to take offense?

Jiang Yun looked at the beautiful woman before him. She had long, yellow hair like Launch's and skin that seemed ready to break at a touch. With a face that looked like she was only eighteen, he figured Bulma's beauty must have been inherited from her mother—he just wondered if Bulma's obsession with romance came from her as well.

Jiang Yun glanced at Dr. Brief and saw that the doctor's expression hadn't changed in the slightest. Clearly, he hadn't taken the previous remark to heart, which made Jiang Yun sigh inwardly at Dr. Brief's great heart. Having such a lively wife must be quite a handful.

"This must be the renowned Bu Chen, right?"

Dr. Brief clearly knew of Bu Chen. Compared to Jiang Yun's reputation, Bu Chen's was actually larger, as Bu Chen usually handled the affairs of the Martial Alliance while Jiang Yun spent most of his time training and didn't like to show his face in public.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Brief!"

Bu Chen reached out to shake Dr. Brief's hand quite happily. Clearly, he held great respect for a world-renowned scientist like Dr. Brief; in the current world, scholars still held a higher status.

Not to mention someone of Dr. Brief's world-class stature; the man who developed the Capsule Corp was hailed as the most outstanding scientist in the world.

"Dr. Brief, I'm very happy about what you mentioned on the phone earlier. Have you already achieved good results?"

Jiang Yun got straight to the point.

"Hahaha!"

At the mention of this, Dr. Brief couldn't help but laugh out loud, then continued, "I have to say, the technology you gave me is quite exquisite. I've been researching it for over half a year to make some progress."

"If there is anything you need, Doctor, just say the word. I will do my best to satisfy it!"

Jiang Yun was in a great mood and spoke to Dr. Brief.

"It's not a big problem, really. It's just that there is a type of metal involved that doesn't exist on Earth. If we use a substitute from Earth, the flight speed will be about half as slow, because only that specific metal can withstand the pressure of high-speed flight in the universe!"

An unexpectedly serious expression appeared on Dr. Brief's face. People like him were exceptionally earnest when it came to scientific problems, as science allowed for no sloppiness.

"Dr. Brief, may I ask what that metal is called?"

Jiang Yun asked.

"That metal is called Adamantium."

Dr. Brief told Jiang Yun the name of the metal.

"What? Adamantium!"

Jiang Yun's voice suddenly became a bit agitated.

"Oh! Have you seen this type of metal before?"

Dr. Brief's tone also became urgent. If Jiang Yun knew of this metal, he could finish the most perfect spaceship very soon.

"This... this, I haven't. It just felt a little familiar!"

Jiang Yun calmed down as well. It was just the name of a metal, and it certainly wasn't the same one he had known before. The universe was vast, so it wasn't strange to encounter metals with identical names.

"Ah, that is a bit of a pity."

Dr. Brief appeared somewhat disappointed.

Seeming to notice Dr. Brief's disappointment, Jiang Yun spoke up, "Doctor, there is no need to worry. The reason I wanted your help in building a spaceship is because I intend to venture into the universe. With my current strength, I have more than enough power to protect myself out there!"

"Isn't it a bit too early to enter the universe now?"

Dr. Brief was a little concerned, as he also knew a thing or two about the universe—after all, his own eldest daughter had already run off into space!
