"I mean, what are you two dawdling for? Seriously, two grown men can't even outwalk a girl like me? Useless!"
Standing in front of the Gravity Chamber's main doors, Bulma looked at Kashius and Yamcha, who were dragging their feet, with an irritated expression and complained unhappily.
"Coming, coming~!" Kashius and Yamcha called.
Hearing Bulma urge them on, Kashius couldn't help quickening his pace. What a joke—how could he let a girl mock him? And a pretty girl, at that. This wasn't some simple issue anymore. This had risen to the level of dignity.
But, well, facing this Bulma, who had gone crazy for who knew what reason...
Even if Kashius were given a hundred guts, he still wouldn't dare harbor any improper thoughts or do anything bad.
At that moment, what he was actually thinking was, As for this crazy woman, she's definitely on her period.
I'd better play the obedient grandson for once and honestly listen to her, so I don't go looking for trouble myself.
Once Kashius and Yamcha arrived in front of Bulma, she directly pressed the button on the door, and the originally sealed gate opened instantly.
Bulma glanced at the two of them a few times, then walked in first.
Kashius followed closely behind, and as he went in, he didn't forget to size up the surroundings.
All around them were walls made from a mixture of steel and metal, and in the very center of the room was the control panel. It was densely covered with buttons, and beside them were small labels explaining what each button did.
"This is your Gravity Chamber." Bulma sat on the chair at the control panel, gave Kashius a light glance, and said.
"Uh... could you introduce it a little?" Kashius asked somewhat doubtfully.
That was understandable. He wasn't like Bulma, possessing an ultra-high IQ. So, in order to avoid breaking it later, it was better to seek the big shot's protection in advance.
"Mm, sure." Bulma glanced at Kashius and continued, "The biggest red button in the middle is the start button. The small yellow button beside it increases the gravity multiplier, while the small purple button on the other side decreases the gravity multiplier.
"As for the other buttons, the small black button on the far right is the air conditioner switch. The small blue button on the far left is the refrigerator switch. Just press it, and the refrigerator hidden inside the wall will come out. Then you can eat some ice cream, drink some beverages, that sort of thing."
Bulma seemed to realize there were too many functions, so many that she might not finish explaining them.
So, after pausing briefly, she continued, "There are a bit too many functions. I'll make you an instruction manual tonight."
Here, Bulma paused slightly, then looked at Kashius with an extremely serious expression and said, "Also, you absolutely must not press the green button at the bottom!"
"Why?" Kashius asked, somewhat puzzled.
Bulma found it rather amusing to hear Kashius ask such a naive question.
She couldn't help blinking her big eyes and said somewhat playfully, "Idiot, because that's the self-destruct device! Once it's activated, unless you have my powerful IQ, you'd better get ready to run."
After hearing the words of a certain genius girl, Kashius and Yamcha looked at each other, both utterly speechless.
I mean, as a girl, why are you so obsessed with installing self-destruct devices? Do you know this is an extremely dangerous thing to do?!!!
At this moment, Kashius's mind had already made an absolutely firm judgment: this Gravity Chamber could not, even if he were beaten to death, be lent to Goku.
Otherwise...
Kashius could already see the scene of a certain cowlick-headed guy pressing the self-destruct device without understanding the situation, and then the entire Gravity Chamber being blown to pieces.
At this moment, Bulma suddenly pulled a small remote control out of her pocket.
After handing it to Kashius, she said, "As for this remote, press the button on it once, and the entire Gravity Chamber will be stored inside a Hoi-Poi Capsule. Take your time figuring it out yourself. I'm going to put on a face mask first."
Taking the remote control, Kashius nodded as if he half understood.
After handing Kashius the remote control, Bulma walked out of the Gravity Chamber with light steps.
When she reached the main door, she seemed to think of something else and turned back to say to Kashius, "Oh~! Right, this Gravity Chamber's maximum gravity multiplier is fifty times. Though I did want to set it to one hundred times.
"But after thinking it over carefully, how could an ordinary person possibly move freely under one hundred times gravity?
"And besides, one hundred times gravity has a lot of requirements too. Although I know you're a monster, you'll just have to make do with it."
At this point, Bulma suddenly gave a strange smile and said playfully, "When this young lady is in a good mood someday, I'll naturally help you improve it. Well then, bye-bye~~"
Then, a certain blue-haired girl walked off without looking back.
After several minutes of silence, Kashius poked Yamcha beside him with his hand and said, "Hey, brother, your girlfriend's personality really is nasty enough."
That made Yamcha awkward for a while, and he laughed foolishly before forcing an explanation. "Actually, Bulma's personality is pretty good. We get along really harmoniously."
Hey, hey, hey~! What's with that blissful look on your face? Do you have to be that exaggerated?
Kashius looked at Yamcha beside him, who had instantly put on a total lecherous expression, his face full of disbelief.
Come to think of it, these two really were oddballs.
Brother, once Bulma dumps you, you'll know what happiness is. For that reason, Kashius silently prayed for Yamcha in his heart.
Then, he pressed the biggest red button on the control panel behind him.
"Hey, don't press that! Wait until I get out first!" Sensing what Kashius was doing, Yamcha said nothing more and took off running toward the door.
That speed was so fast even Kashius was somewhat stunned.
Looks like Yamcha has tried this gravity before.
"Beep, beep, beep~!"
At that moment, the Gravity Chamber's startup sound rang out.
Immediately afterward, Kashius suddenly felt an incredibly powerful pressure bearing down on him. On top of that, his body became incomparably heavy in an instant, making it hard for him to breathe and leaving him short of oxygen.
Caught off guard, he nearly got crushed straight to the floor.
He hesitated no longer and instantly unleashed the full extent of his strength.
After a burst of aura, Kashius clearly felt his body lighten somewhat.
Although moving was still difficult and strenuous, it was much better than collapsing limply on the ground.
Since the Gravity Chamber was already in his hands, he would leave this place tomorrow. He would head to Kami's Lookout to continue his training, then wait until the next World Martial Arts Tournament began before coming back down to enter the competition.
The moment Kashius thought about training inside the Gravity Chamber while studying martial arts knowledge, he could not stop himself from getting excited.
If he did that, while he pondered Kami's martial arts experience, his body could also continuously endure the pressure of gravity, achieving the goal of increasing his strength at an extremely rapid pace.
Not only would he not waste the slightest bit of time, he would instead make even fuller use of it.
Kashius seemed to have already seen the scene of his strength soaring wildly three years later—ah, no, it should be two and a half years later.
His aura would erupt across his whole body, heaven and earth would change color, the air would tremble, wild winds would howl, and ocean waves would surge. That shocking adult—no, that shocking scene... just thinking about it made him excited. Just thinking about it made him impatient.
Goku, at the next World Martial Arts Tournament, don't even dream of beating me again. I'll personally claim the ten-million prize in two and a half years—ah, no. I mean, the championship of the World Martial Arts Tournament in two and a half years. I, Kashius, will take it!!!
(Author: Forget it, you're actually just doing it for that ten million.
Kashius: Would it kill you not to expose me?!
Author: Yes!
Kashius: ...)
