Powerful!

"Earth Broadcast reports: ten days ago, for unknown reasons, gravity suddenly increased by 0.5 times."

"After ten days, the public has largely adapted to the situation and is actively returning to work and production."

"There have also been a small number of severely ill patients who died ahead of time, while a small portion of frail and sickly citizens have fallen ill."

"Hospitals are actively seeking solutions. We would like to remind everyone to exercise more in daily life, eat fewer foods high in salt, oil, and spice, and maintain good health..."

In front of the television.

Jiang Ling, Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Son Gohan watched the news report, sipping tea while sighing with emotion.

"I never thought Jiang Ling was the one who caused this. It stirred up quite a commotion at the time."

Chi-Chi smiled. "Luckily, it didn't affect me much. I've followed my father and learned Turtle School Martial Arts since I was little, so my physical condition is still decent."

"Yeah."

Bulma chuckled softly. "Good thing Gohan started learning martial arts early. His physical condition is decent too."

The two women chatted about everyday trifles.

They were very close, and once they started talking, their little mouths just kept chattering nonstop.

Jiang Ling and Gohan could only silently drink tea beside them, unable to get a word in.

Suddenly.

Chi-Chi changed the subject.

She asked in confusion:

"Did Goku not come back with you? Why haven't I seen him this whole time? Don't tell me he ran off to train again the moment he came back?"

Bulma paused, not knowing how to explain, so she could only look toward Jiang Ling.

"Ahem, about Goku..."

Jiang Ling gave a light cough, and his expression turned grave.

Seeing this, Chi-Chi's heart sank.

"Goku... don't tell me he... he died again?"

As she spoke, her voice choked up, and her eyes began to redden.

Chi-Chi knew that the Dragon Balls could only revive someone once. A second time would be impossible.

That was why she reacted so strongly.

"Goku is fine... don't worry. He just went to train on another planet. He'll probably take a year to come back."

Jiang Ling quickly spoke up.

"Phew—thank goodness, thank goodness."

Chi-Chi let out a sigh of relief. "Training is fine. As long as he's okay."

Jiang Ling and Bulma exchanged a smile.

People's minds were just that simple. First, make you feel as if something was very serious, and later, when you discovered it was not that serious after all, you would accept it very easily.

For example, if you were starving, and there were two portions of food in front of you—one was your most hated stinky tofu, and the other was a pile of crap—and if you did not eat, you would starve to death.

Then you would discover that eating stinky tofu was not impossible.

At least it was not a pile of crap.

After Chi-Chi's emotions settled down, she asked about how Gohan's homework was coming along.

Jiang Ling said, "Sigh, our spaceship was attacked on Namek, and it just so happened to be Gohan's room. After a big fire, the homework was gone along with the food."

Hearing this, Chi-Chi's attention was immediately shifted to the food.

She hurriedly hugged Gohan, looking him over from left to right and up and down.

"My poor Gohan, you didn't go hungry, did you? Mommy will make you something to eat right now..."

Faced with the onrushing motherly love, Gohan quickly said, "Mom, I didn't go hungry. I ate on time every day."

To Chi-Chi, that explanation might as well not have existed. She assumed Gohan had not eaten enough and had gotten thinner from hunger.

She immediately ran to the kitchen and started cooking.

Bulma whispered, "Jiang Ling, isn't this not very good?"

"Not very good?"

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow. "I think it's great. These are all white lies. If Chi-Chi is always angry, her personality will go to an extreme. I'm correcting it for her."

"Besides, anger harms the body. You have to stay calm and even-tempered, understand? Don't always lose your temper!"

Bulma rolled her eyes. "Who says I lose my temper? I'm a gentle and virtuous young lady."

"Tch." Jiang Ling curled his lip and muttered softly, "I wonder who it was that got up this morning wanting that, and got angry when I didn't give her that, even wanted to hit me..."

Before he could finish, Bulma grabbed a throw pillow and hammered him with it.

"Don't bring it up!"

"Okay, okay, I won't. I won't bring it up."

Jiang Ling smiled and raised his hands in surrender.

Off to the side, Gohan tilted his head, having no idea what strange things they were talking about.

Chi-Chi cooked incredibly fast. Normally, she handled all the meals for the whole family by herself, and that was how she had trained up the skill. With a bottomless pit like Goku around, if she did not cook quickly, she could not even keep up with the speed at which Goku ate.

Besides, ever since Gohan had started training, his appetite had been growing too.

One meal's worth of food for thirty people might still not be enough.

Chi-Chi invited Jiang Ling and Bulma to eat together.

The dishes laid out on the table were absolutely packed.

And...

Chi-Chi was still cooking.

More dishes kept being brought out one after another.

Fifty dishes... eighty dishes... a hundred...

And they actually tasted really good!

Jiang Ling had no choice but to give Chi-Chi a thumbs-up.

Son Gohan had already started devouring his food, eating at an astonishing speed.

Jiang Ling had the Saiyan Bloodline and had undergone training as well, so naturally his appetite was no slouch.

He began wolfing the food down too.

Bulma ate slowly and methodically at the side. She did not have that kind of appetite, and she did not show much surprise at Jiang Ling being able to eat so much.

Don't forget, she had watched Son Goku grow up. She had long since stopped finding this sort of thing strange.

Jiang Ling was also the man who shared her bed. How could she not understand him...

And besides...

Only when he was full would he have the strength to work, right?

Although every time they worked until midnight, Jiang Ling was still full of energy while Bulma was so exhausted she collapsed on the bed.

But that did not stop her from liking it!

After recovering the next day, she still dared to keep going!

This was Bulma's hidden trait: her recovery was insanely fast. No matter how tired she was, she could always recover by the next day and turn back into a lively girl!

Chi-Chi stopped after cooking a hundred and fifty dishes.

Then she sat down at the table to eat too.

She ate while chatting with Bulma.

She did not look the slightest bit worn out from cooking.

While shoveling down his food, Jiang Ling glanced over and felt admiration in his heart. As expected of Son Goku's woman—she was tough!
