Testing Their Strength

Master Roshi puffed out his chest and said excitedly, "Launch, do you want to train with us? I'm the greatest martial artist in the world!"

Krillin chimed in from the side, "That's right. Master Mutai's disciples are all top-tier fighters."

Launch paused slightly, then agreed. "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Seeing that Launch had agreed, Master Roshi immediately brought out three sets of clothes from the house and said excitedly, "Quick, put these on! Then we can start training!"

Launch took the clothes and was just about to change in front of everyone when Krillin suddenly spoke up. "Wait, are you planning to change here?"

Launch froze for a moment, thought about it, and finally decided, "I'd better change inside." With that, she headed into the house.

Master Roshi stamped his feet in frustration, feeling utterly miserable. "Sigh, I missed my chance to see some springtime scenery!"

Goku opened the outfit and froze. "What is this? It's not a martial arts uniform at all—it's a maid outfit!"

Krillin also stared at the clothes in his hands in surprise, his face full of helplessness. "Is Master Mutai making us wear women's clothes?"

Goku figured he was just a kid anyway, so he might as well wear it.

Once he had changed, he had to admit that the maid outfit fit him surprisingly well. Though its design was strange, it actually looked pretty good, and the fabric was cool and stretchy.

Just then, Blue-haired Launch came out of the house. In her maid outfit, she looked both innocent and captivating. Goku and Krillin both began drooling. "So sexy!"

Launch suddenly sneezed. In an instant, her hair turned blonde, and she became Blonde Launch.

Master Roshi and Krillin jumped in fright. Blonde Launch pulled out a machine gun and opened fire at them, turning the place into a complete mess. Goku and Krillin kept dodging, and even Master Roshi forgot all about his lecherous thoughts as he hurriedly searched for somewhere to hide.

Just then, Blonde Launch sneezed again and changed back into her blue-haired form. Blushing shyly, she apologized to everyone. "Sorry. I become really violent when I sneeze."

Terrified, Master Roshi quickly told everyone to change back into their own clothes. Goku secretly thought that the lecherous old man had deliberately made everyone wear maid outfits just so he could see Launch in one.

After changing back, Master Roshi clapped his hands and quickly turned the house into a capsule. Then he threw out another capsule, which transformed into a speedboat with a soft click.

"Get on board! We're going to the place where we'll train!" Master Roshi shouted excitedly, waving everyone aboard.

Goku, Krillin, and Launch quickly climbed onto the speedboat.

The group arrived at a large island. Master Roshi picked an open area and released the house from its capsule. Launch went inside to busy herself with cooking, and waves of delicious aromas drifted from the kitchen, making everyone look forward to dinner.

Master Roshi began training Goku and Krillin. Looking at the two of them, he raised an eyebrow. "Today, I'll first test your hundred-meter speed and see who's faster!"

The moment Krillin heard that, he became excited and patted his chest. "I trained at Shaolin Temple for eight years. I'm definitely fast!"

"Then you go first." Master Roshi readied his stopwatch.

Krillin did a few warm-up exercises at the starting line, took a deep breath, and shot forward with a bang, like an arrow. His movements were nimble and swift, and he ran with considerable power.

Krillin soon reached the finish line and stopped, panting heavily. Master Roshi looked at the stopwatch. His time was 10.4 seconds.

"Hmph, my best time is 10.1 seconds!" Krillin said proudly, lifting his chin.

Finally, it was Goku's turn. Krillin watched him, secretly competing with him and wanting to settle the score.

"Ready, go!" At Master Roshi's command, Goku burst forward like a gust of wind, his feet practically generating wind beneath them. In the instant Krillin stood there dumbfounded, Goku had already reached the finish line.

Click! Master Roshi stopped the stopwatch. The time was actually 8.5 seconds! Krillin gulped in fright, stunned. How could this guy possibly run so fast?

Master Roshi put on an inscrutable expression and said, "Goku, Krillin, although you're fast, you're still only at the level of ordinary humans. If you want to become true martial artists, you must become even faster!"

At the same time, Master Roshi turned to Krillin and said, "Take the stopwatch and record my time." Krillin nodded, deeply curious about just how fast Master Roshi was.

Master Roshi gathered himself and, at the command, shot out like an arrow. Without the slightest wasted movement, he raced steadily and swiftly toward the finish line. Krillin watched without blinking, his eyes following Master Roshi's movements.

In the end, Master Roshi stopped at the finish line. Krillin looked at the time—5.6 seconds—and was too shocked to say a word.

Master Roshi picked up a stone from the ground, wrote the character "Turtle" on it with a pen, and mercilessly threw it off the distant cliff. Then he turned back. "Goku, Krillin, go find it now! Whoever doesn't find it gets no dinner!"

Without hesitation, Goku jumped straight off the edge of the cliff and shouted excitedly, "Here I come!" His figure instantly vanished into the forest below.

Seeing what Goku had done, Krillin could not help shuddering. He tremblingly approached the cliff, unable to settle his worries. "I... I'd better take the small path down."

As Krillin walked down the path, he became increasingly unwilling to accept this. Suddenly, he looked down and saw a stone. An idea struck him, and he picked it up, taking the chance to write the character "Turtle" on it with his own pen. He happily ran back, a smug smile on his face.

When Krillin ran up to Master Roshi, panting heavily, he excitedly raised the stone and said smugly, "I found it!"

Master Roshi examined it carefully, his brow furrowing slightly when he noticed that the handwriting differed from his. "This isn't what I wrote."

Krillin could no longer keep up the act. He lowered his head and said awkwardly, "Uh... this was... written by me..."

"You little brat!" Master Roshi shook his head and pointed toward the cliff. "Go on, or you won't get any dinner!"

At the bottom of the cliff, Goku finally found the stone Master Roshi had thrown, relying on his memory. He looked up and saw Krillin approaching.

"Goku, let me see that stone," Krillin said with a serious expression.

Goku thought to himself that this guy was definitely trying to pull some trick, but he still handed the stone to Krillin. "Fine, take a look."

The moment Krillin took the stone, a triumphant smile appeared on his face. He suddenly turned and began sprinting toward the house. "Haha, Goku, you're such an idiot! I found the stone, so don't even think about eating dinner!"

Goku pretended to chase after him for a moment, then stopped.

Krillin was thrilled with himself. He ran faster and faster, laughing as he went. "Just wait and go hungry!"

Meanwhile, Goku watched Krillin's retreating back and secretly smiled. He set up a barbecue spot, took out a food capsule, and prepared to grill himself some meat.

Before long, the air was filled with delicious aromas. Goku enjoyed the tasty barbecue and ate with great relish. Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill, patting his belly in satisfaction, did he leisurely head toward Master Roshi's house.

Dinner time arrived. Launch brought out a table full of dishes, colorful and mouthwatering. Master Roshi, Launch, and Krillin sat around the table. Krillin smugly looked at Goku standing in the corner. Thinking of his "victory" in the contest, he wore a confident smile.

"This fish is delicious! Launch, you made it really well!" Master Roshi said as he chewed the tasty fish. "What kind of fish is this? The flavor is so special."

"It's pufferfish." Launch smiled faintly, a trace of mischief flashing in her eyes.

The moment they heard the words "pufferfish," Master Roshi and Krillin froze, their expressions changing drastically. Master Roshi's hand trembled, nearly knocking over his bowl, while Krillin hurriedly covered his mouth and asked in terror, "What? Pufferfish? Isn't that..."

"That's right, pufferfish is edible." Launch blinked innocently.

At that moment, Goku stood nearby, secretly watching the scene and unable to stop himself from laughing inwardly. Serves you right. Who told you to be so smug?
