Early the next morning.

Jiang Ling deliberately used the remote control to summon over a white, round spaceship.

This one-man spaceship belonged to Nappa... in other words, the bald, muscular guy who came to Earth with Vegeta. He had left it behind.

Because he had croaked.

So he had no use for it anymore.

Naturally, this spaceship was claimed as Jiang Ling's own after he found the remote control.

Jiang Ling gave the spaceship to Dr. Brief and handed it over to him to research the technology.

He believed that in a little while, Earth would have spaceships of its own!

Dr. Brief was a hale and hearty little old man who wore a researcher's white lab coat all year round, with a small black cat perched on his shoulder.

He was also Bulma's father.

The moment he saw the spaceship, his eyes immediately lit up.

He stroked the spaceship fondly, unable to put it down.

"If Bulma ever dares treat you badly, tell me. I'll teach her a lesson!"

Dr. Brief patted Jiang Ling on the shoulder and made him that promise.

Jiang Ling naturally agreed with a cheerful smile.

At the same time, he checked in inwardly.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ling found an excuse to leave.

Once he found a deserted place, he impatiently checked the check-in reward he had just received.

After all, Dr. Brief was one of the top scientists on Earth!

How could the reward be bad?

[Ding! Check-in successful. Reward: "Dr. Brief's artistic appreciation level"]

Jiang Ling: ...

If he remembered correctly, one of Dr. Brief's hobbies was reading adult magazines...

After resting for a day.

Bulma returned to being a lively young girl.

Under the ambiguous gazes of Dr. Brief and Mrs. Brief, the two of them left West City.

According to Son Goku's description.

They arrived in the mountains near Mount Paozu.

Amid these endless mountains, finding a small spaceship would be anything but easy.

But this was no problem for Bulma, who was known as something of a genius girl.

In just a few hours at home, she made a Metal Detector.

With this device, finding a spaceship was practically effortless.

Jiang Ling brought Bulma back to his home.

That scenic home out in the wild.

After all, if he lived at Bulma's house, people would call him a kept man.

As for ready-made living off a woman, Jiang Ling actually did not mind, but right now they were in the honeymoon phase. Being lovey-dovey with Bulma every day under her parents' noses still felt a little strange.

Now that their relationship had reached this point, they both felt they should have a separate house, a world that belonged to just the two of them.

Jiang Ling felt buying a villa would be too much trouble, and besides, if only the two of them lived in a villa, it would feel empty and not very nice.

After discussing it, they unanimously decided to move into Jiang Ling's little house.

Before long, Jiang Ling had transformed the area around the house into a small courtyard.

Although Bulma was a rich young lady, she did not have princess syndrome.

She did not mind that the house was a little small.

Because of this, Jiang Ling felt very guilty.

"I've made you suffer."

Bulma covered her mouth and laughed softly, her eyes sparkling. "What suffering? I like you for who you are."

"Besides, I have money. What kind of material life can't I satisfy?"

Jiang Ling: "..."

He had almost forgotten that this little girl was a little rich lady.

Daily necessities and living expenses were not a problem at all.

That also spared them a lot of petty hassles.

For now.

The area around the house was already starting to take shape.

There was a courtyard, the house, and the Gravity Training Room.

There was also a large building with a vast footprint that Bulma had taken out of a capsule; you could call it a factory building.

This was where she carried out research and manufactured machines.

Jiang Ling only went in and took a quick look. All kinds of equipment were packed densely together, and even with Mechanical Modification Mastery, he still could not name most of them.

Goku's spaceship was already in hand, and the modifications were left to Bulma.

Although Jiang Ling could help, he chose to train instead.

Because the enemy they might face next was Frieza. If he did not hurry up and increase his strength, he definitely would not be able to beat him.

Rely on Son Goku?

Forget it. Better to rely on himself than ask others for help.

Just avoid Frieza's edge entirely?

When an avalanche came, not a single snowflake was innocent.

If Frieza gathered all the Namekian Dragon Balls and gained an immortal body, his next target would be Earth.

As the mighty emperor of the universe, the president of the Planetary Trade Organization, Lord Frieza, who commanded countless employees under him, how could he allow the hidden threat of Earth's Dragon Balls to exist?

So he had to improve his strength as early as possible.

Otherwise, he would be done for.

The kind not even the Dragon Balls could revive.

However, when it came to modifying the spaceship, it was not as if Jiang Ling had been no help at all.

On the spaceship's design blueprint, there was a specially marked room. Jiang Ling planned to share that room with Bulma.

So on the list of materials needed for the modifications, Jiang Ling deliberately added Earth's most top-of-the-line soundproofing materials.

It made Bulma blush furiously.
