Master Roshi: "Yes!"

Chi-Chi said with a sense of loss, "Master Roshi, are you chasing us away already? I feel like I still have a lot of room for improvement!"

Master Roshi laughed, "A fledgling eagle can only soar once it leaves the shelter of its mother; the same applies to you all!"

Chi-Chi and Krillin nodded one after another.

"That makes sense!"

Bulma shrugged, "What a pity. I was actually planning to move into Kame House for a while to keep Son Goku company while he continued his training. It seems I won't have the chance."

Son Goku was stunned.

"You want to come stay at Kame House with me? Don't you have to go to school?"

Bulma nodded, "Yeah, I've already self-studied all the coursework for the next few years and obtained my diplomas, so there's no need for me to attend school anymore."

Hearing this, Son Goku was startled.

But upon second thought, it made sense. Bulma was a genius girl; she could probably master those basic subjects as soon as she looked at them.

Bulma's IQ was likely around 200; she was the person who would eventually build a time machine. Her brain was on a completely different level from ordinary people, so attending school was just a waste of time.

Son Goku nodded, "So that's how it is! Then why don't you come on an adventure with me?"

Bulma nodded, "Sure!"

Just then, Master Roshi's eyes darted around for a moment.

He immediately stood up and said, "Right, I just remembered something."

The others all looked at Master Roshi.

"Master, what is it?"

Chi-Chi, Krillin, and Son Goku all looked at Master Roshi.

Master Roshi said, "During the tournament, I saw that both Chi-Chi and Krillin used the Kamehameha."

Everyone nodded, "And?"

Master Roshi continued, "I felt that neither of you used it well; the power wasn't enough. Therefore, I think it's necessary for you to stay a while longer. While laying a solid foundation, I will teach you some techniques for manipulating your ki. That way, not only will you be able to use the Kamehameha better, but if your comprehension is high enough, you might even be able to develop skills suited to yourselves."

Chi-Chi, Krillin, and Son Goku's eyes all lit up.

"Really? That would be wonderful!"

Master Roshi said, "In that case, let's find a hotel to stay the night, and we can head back to Kame House tomorrow, shall we?"

Bulma immediately said, "No need. I brought a plane; I'll take everyone back tonight!"

"What?"

The others all looked at Bulma.

Bulma said, "Everyone move back a bit, I'm opening a capsule."

The group stepped back, clearing a large open space.

Bulma pressed the button on the capsule and tossed it toward the clearing.

With a "bang," a large airplane appeared on the spot.

Bulma walked toward it first.

"Come on, everyone get on the plane!"

Master Roshi gasped.

He turned to look at Son Goku and asked, "What does Bulma's family do? How do they have such a large private plane?"

Son Goku said, "Capsule Corp is their family business!"

Hearing this, Krillin, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi were all shocked.

Master Roshi: "Incredible, they're the richest people in the world!!!"

Krillin: "So Son Goku's friend is a wealthy heiress!"

Chi-Chi: So her family is that wealthy. That makes things even harder for me!

Chapter 56: Gravity Bracelet

Bulma knew that originally, after the tournament, Son Goku was supposed to go looking for his grandfather's memento, the Four-Star Dragon Ball.

That would have led him to cross paths with the Red Ribbon Army while searching for the Four-Star Dragon Ball.

Which would have triggered all those subsequent chain events.

But this world was different; Son Gohan was still alive, so searching for the Dragon Balls had become meaningless.

Therefore, Bulma intended to pour all her energy into Son Goku, making him even stronger than he was in the original history.

This was also the reason Bulma wanted to come to Kame House.

Before heading back, Bulma took everyone to the source of the river to clear the waterway.

That was the territory of the Dinosaur Man, Giran.

Using Son Goku's reputation, Bulma directly demanded that Giran keep his people in check and stop obstructing the river.

The whole process took no more than an hour.

Once finished, Bulma finally brought everyone to Kame House.

Kame House looked large, but it only had two bedrooms.

Originally, Chi-Chi and Launch shared one room, while Son Goku, Krillin, and Master Roshi squeezed into the other.

Bulma was an adult, after all, so there was no room for her to squeeze in with Chi-Chi and Launch.

Fortunately, Son Goku still had the Capsule House that Bulma had given him back then.

So, Son Goku and Bulma set the house up not far from Master Roshi's place, and the two of them stayed there at night.

Bulma looked at the island behind her and couldn't help but sigh, "So you live on this island!

With so many people living here, no wonder I couldn't find you."

Son Goku nodded, "Yeah, a lot of people live on this island.

Many families order milk, so we use the milk delivery job to train.

Besides, this island is big enough, it has a river, and we can go swimming.

Our previous training felt like two days packed into one; it was busy and exhausting!

Even our rest was regulated; rest was considered part of the training."

Bulma smiled, "Alright, then I forgive you for not coming to find me.

I invented something at home, consider it a gift for you!"

As she spoke, Bulma took a bracelet and handed it to Son Goku.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

Son Goku held the bracelet Bulma gave him and pondered it to himself.

Suddenly, he thought of that device Son Gohan had in the original story, the one that would transform him into the Great Saiyaman with the press of a button.

Son Goku couldn't help but ask, "Is it a costume-changing bracelet?"

Bulma raised an eyebrow, "A costume-changing bracelet?"

"You know, you press a button, and you change into a different outfit!"

Bulma shrugged, "Am I sick in the head?

Why would I spend all that time researching and building something like that?"

As she spoke, Bulma pulled out a cigarette and lit it, lost in her own thoughts.

Hearing it wasn't a costume-changing bracelet, Son Goku was stunned again, "Then what is this you gave me?"

Bulma took a drag of her cigarette and said, "I see you always carrying that turtle shell around for training.

It's ugly, and it hinders your movement.

So, while I was at home, I researched a few things and built you a Gravity Bracelet.

As long as you wear this bracelet, you can adjust your own body weight.

You can set your weight anywhere from 0.1 to 10 times your current weight, with each increment adjusting by 0.1."

Son Goku was shocked.

"Gravity Bracelet?"

Bulma nodded.

"Yeah, that's right. Isn't this much more convenient than a turtle shell? From now on, whenever you want to train, just set the multiplier, press the button, and it will apply weight based on your body mass. Once you adapt to the gravity and want to increase it again, just adjust it further. It can go up to ten times gravity. Actually, I could make one for a hundred times, but the materials are hard to come by. Besides, giving you a hundred-fold Gravity Bracelet would be far too dangerous. You're still young; a hundred times gravity might crush you in an instant. That's why I didn't set it that high—it's better to take things step by step!"

Son Goku was overjoyed. He touched the bracelet, his eyes filled with excitement that words could not express.

"Bulma, you're absolutely amazing!"

Originally, Son Goku had been planning to ask Bulma to help him research a Gravity Chamber once he was strong enough. As it turned out, before he even had to say a word, she had taken the initiative to develop the Gravity Bracelet.

This was something that hadn't even appeared in the original story.

This gadget was far more practical than a Gravity Chamber. After all, a Gravity Chamber was fixed in one location, and one had to go inside to train.

The Gravity Bracelet was different.

As long as he was wearing it, he could train with added weight wherever he wanted, exactly as he pleased.
