"Talot, you're back?!"
Seeing Talot standing at the entrance, Bulma looked pleasantly surprised.
Because her hands were full of various spare parts, it took her a while to restrain the urge to rush over and hug Talot.
At first, Bulma didn't notice, but when the wind blew in, scattering her hair, she looked towards the door.
For Talot and the others, only three and a half months had passed, but for Bulma, it felt like three years.
"Yeah, I'm back. So focused, are you doing some research again?" Talot walked into the lab and came to her side, asking.
"It's nothing much, just making a New Type Jet, strengthening its performance on the original basis, adding some offensive and defensive weapons, and adding more novel functions by the way." Bulma answered without hesitation, then looked at Selari and Gine, who had come along, and greeted them.
"As expected of Bulma, you can already take on such a big responsibility. Earth's technology is advancing rapidly in your hands every moment." Gine praised Bulma.
Her eyes showed a feeling of looking at a daughter-in-law.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Bulma had long been regarded by her as Talot's little wife, just like Selari.
"Aunt Gine, you flatter me too much, I'm just helping my dad with some improvements." In front of Talot, Bulma behaved very gently and elegantly.
Although she was very proud in her heart, she didn't show it.
Selari stood aside without saying a word.
Actually, they could understand each other's thoughts with just a look.
On the contrary, Bulma found it incredible that Selari was so quiet this time.
If it were in the past, she would have couldn't help but tease her a few times, right?
Looking at each other, Bulma roughly guessed why Selari was so quiet.
It meant a truce. They had finally returned, and she didn't want to argue today.
Only the two of them knew this meaning.
After a few words of exchange, Talot saw the Dragon Ball Radar accessories placed on the table and asked curiously.
Bulma didn't hesitate and began to explain: "A few days ago, Son Goku came to me because the Dragon Ball Radar was damaged. He told me that he seemed to have had a conflict with the Red Ribbon Army. When he was stopping them from causing trouble, the Dragon Ball Radar was accidentally broken during the battle, so I made him a new one. As for this, I plan to make use of the waste and create new small objects."
As she spoke, Bulma intentionally or unintentionally put away the draft paper on the table.
It seemed that there was something shady drawn on it.
"Red Ribbon Army?" Talot was slightly stunned when he heard this.
As a transmigrator, he was no stranger to the Red Ribbon Army.
In fact, anyone who has watched Dragon Ball knows what this army means. Although the Red Ribbon Army at this time was just a terrorist organization, in the future, the remaining forces of the Red Ribbon Army and some crazy scientists created one legendary myth after another.
Especially the mad scientist Dr. Gero, this old guy can be said to be the ancestor of creating Androids.
Especially in the mid-Z era, the Androids he created, Android 16, Android 17 and Android 18, were the most successful products.
In addition to these three Androids, there was naturally the ultimate Android Cell.
I just don't know if this world has Android 13, Android 14, and Android 15, who can devour companion chips to evolve.
This was Dr. Gero in the Z era.
In the more distant future, Dr. Gero's grandson had even more heaven-defying talent.
Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, created by him, were so powerful that they could even suppress Piccolo, who had experienced the Tournament of Power, and Son Gohan in his mystic state.
The most terrifying thing was that he also created an even more powerful Ultimate Cell. Even if it was a semi-finished product, its terrifying power was still defeated only after Son Gohan reached Beast Form.
I wonder if Lazuli and Lapis have been captured and forcibly transformed by Dr. Gero at this time? Thinking secretly in his heart, if not yet, perhaps...
Thinking of this, Talot suddenly threw it out of his mind.
Changing some things is a good thing, but if some things are changed, it will be completely different.
"Talot, have you heard of the Red Ribbon Army?" Seeing Talot thinking in silence, Bulma asked curiously.
"Indeed, I've heard of them. They should be an evil force on Earth, right? If Kakarot goes up against them, this army will probably be crushed," Talot said naturally.
It was better to admit it than to pretend not to know.
After all, he had been on Earth for so many years, so it wouldn't be strange to know a few things.
"That child is just too stubborn, insisting on finding that Four-Star Dragon Ball. I hope he doesn't stir up too much trouble," Aunt Gine sighed.
She had devoted more than ten years to Kakarot, and her love for him surpassed that for Raditz, Talot, and Selari.
This was inevitable, especially since Kakarot was the weakest among them.
"Aunt Gine doesn't need to worry. After all, Kakarot's Battle Power is over two hundred. There's hardly anyone on Earth who can threaten him," Selari comforted Aunt Gine.
"Actually, this is a good thing. This three-year world trip and training was his own choice. Encountering greater setbacks will make him stronger! He's different from us, but I believe he will become incredibly powerful in the future, perhaps even surpassing you, Selari," Talot teased Selari with a smile.
Selari was slightly displeased upon hearing this, but she seemed to take it as Talot comforting Aunt Gine, so she echoed his sentiment.
She wouldn't know just how powerful Kakarot would become in the future.
If Selari and Kakarot were the same age, starting at the same point in the same era, she would inevitably be left far behind.
Especially after the arrival of the Z storyline's great universe era, the speed of improvement was unimaginably fast.
Leaving the matter of Kakarot aside, the group chatted and laughed as they left the laboratory.
Bulma naturally accompanied them. Talot's return left her with no desire to continue researching anything.
Especially after learning that Talot and the others would be living peacefully on Earth for a while, she impulsively mentioned her original plan to travel and play with Son Goku for a while.
Now that Talot was back, they could travel the world together, or even the universe.
Bulma's initiative was not refused by Talot this time, but Selari and Gine had to come along.
As for Raditz, Talot excluded him.
Now was not the time to disturb Raditz's love life.
Bulma was very happy because she had been feeling very bored these days. Being able to travel the world on vacation with the person she liked, even with a love rival present, was inconsequential.
Bulma was extremely confident in her charm.
For an entire day, the group, accompanied by Bulma, strolled and wandered around various shopping malls and scenic spots in West City, which could be regarded as making up for the fact that they had been cultivating all these years and had never given themselves a vacation like this.
The last time they were so carefree was more than ten years ago when they first arrived on Earth.
Of course, even that time couldn't compare to now, because now there were really no more messy worries.
After a day, Talot and Selari also realized that being an ordinary person was sometimes a very good thing, at least there was not so much pressure.
Of course, in the end, it was because Bulma had money, so there was no need to worry about money.
Talot was a transmigrator, and he knew deeply that in the world of ordinary people, without money, power, or influence, it was difficult to move an inch.
Just like in a world where the strong prey on the weak, without sufficient strength, one was just an ant.
In the evening, under Bulma's arrangement, the group came to a high-end restaurant for dinner.
It once again opened Talot's eyes.
Of course, so did Selari and Gine. Although they came from the universe and had a wide range of knowledge, the civilization development of Earth was really different from that of ordinary planets.
If one's strength was not strong enough and one had not experienced enough, ordinary people would definitely be restrained in this kind of occasion.
The meal caused quite a stir.
This was a place that people from the upper class of Earth would come to. Everyone came here not to talk about business and maintain social relationships, but for the little tricks between men and women.
As a result, it became Talot, Selari, and Gine's home ground.
They ate a lot, there was no way around it.
It was also thanks to Bulma having enough money, and the identity of the Capsule Corporation's young lady, which was the largest group on Earth and the daughter of the world's richest man.
West City was Bulma's home ground. Whether this high-end restaurant wanted to continue operating was up to Bulma.
In fact, it wasn't so exaggerated more than ten years ago, it was only in the last five or six years that her position had been completely stabilized.
Compared to the original story, it was naturally a full ten years earlier.
The original Capsule Corporation became the number one corporation, and the Bulma family became the richest family. This only truly stabilized after Bulma returned from the Namek Planet.
Later, until the era of Super, Earth was basically a place where Bulma could do whatever she wanted, and the king was just a figurehead.
"How is it? Are Talot and Selari full? How was the taste?" Bulma asked with a sweet voice, full of concern.
The plates on the table were piled very, very high, and this was after the waiters had cleared them away several times.
One Saiyan is scary enough, let alone three.
"It's alright, I'm about eighty percent full," Talot said, patting his stomach and smiling at Bulma.
"The taste is okay, but the portions are too small, not even enough for two bites," Selari said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, but since Talot said he was full, she was too embarrassed to keep eating.
"That's good. What about Aunt Gine?" Bulma asked again.
"I'm used to eating and drinking less. I haven't been exercising much these days, so I can't eat too much," Gine said, making Bulma not know whether to laugh or cry.
Selari didn't think anything of it, but Talot was a little embarrassed. Seeing Bulma's expression, he understood.
Not to mention how many plates were on the table, Gine alone had eaten twenty or thirty steaks. Is that what she calls being used to eating less? Is that what she calls not being able to eat too much because she hasn't been exercising much?
"Let's go, let's go. While it's not too late, let's take us on a tour of West City's night scenery, and then we'll prepare to travel around the world," Talot said with a smile, trying to defuse the situation for Bulma.
After all, Gine's words were indeed difficult to respond to.
Under the astonished and incredulous gazes of countless people, Bulma paid the bill, and the group left the high-end restaurant.
Although it was dark, it was still early, just right for an after-dinner stroll.
The bustling West City became even more beautiful after nightfall.
The entire technologically advanced city, with countless lights like stars, illuminated the endless night, shining brightly.
Bright and dazzling, with colorful lights and bustling activity, countless skyscrapers not only had various lights hanging on them, but also large screens displaying advertisements and promotions.
It has to be said, Talot's previous world, that is, the capital and magic city he had visited, could be compared with West City.
People walked on the ground, looking at these skyscrapers, like towering giants standing tall in the darkness, full of oppression, yet attracting the attention of countless people.
For ordinary people, some places might be the goal of their entire lives, or they might never have the opportunity to step inside.
The crowd was bustling, with more people out at night than during the day.
After all, even in West City, the daytime was for work, and the evening was for people to relax and unwind.
Although there were still countless people working hard to strive for success, how could people living at the bottom survive without effort?
Recalling his previous life, Talot was filled with mixed emotions.
Some memories alsosurge out like springs, catching him off guard.
If it weren't for today's experience, he wouldn't have remembered those memories, that kind of struggling at the bottom, getting up earlier than the chickens, sleeping later than the dogs, working harder than the cows...
Thinking about his transmigration, was it because he overworked himself to death?
If it hadn't been accumulated over time, how could he have unleashed such a big move in one go? After wandering for a long time, Talot told Bulma to go back.
Gine and Selari had also had enough of sightseeing.
Actually, for them, it wasn't that they had enough of sightseeing, but that they weren't used to being watched.
In short, the men were handsome, and the women were beautiful, so it would be strange if they didn't attract attention.
What's more, Bulma was a big celebrity.
If Talot were to go shopping with Bulma alone, they might even make the latest news headlines.
There might even be some melodramatic things happening.
All in all, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
...
In the blink of an eye, the next day.
Talot rarely slept in, waking up naturally before getting up to wash.
He hadn't experienced this kind of situation for a long time.
It was truly comfortable, choosing to let go, free from burdens and worries.
If he were to suddenly return to his previous world, a new life would unfold.
Like those YY novels.
Urban Dragon Ball Returns.
"Battle Power exceeds a hundred million, I am a Super Saiyan!"
...
If that really happened, Talot thought he might indulge in it.
After all, possessing invincible power in an ordinary world, capable of destroying stars with a flick of the wrist, one's mindset would inevitably change. And if you're invincible, why not enjoy it?
Unfortunately, it's all imagination and impossible to happen.
Even if it did, Talot would be gripped by a certain fear, because he would never know what force was driving it all.
Stretching, Talot changed into new black casual clothes and left the room.
Walking towards him was Selari, who had just finished showering, emanating a delicate fragrance.
It was a combination of her natural scent and the fragrance of the shower gel, exceptionally pleasant and fatally alluring.
Clearly, Selari had slept soundly last night and had only just woken up.
"I told you not to drink, but you insisted," Talot said, smiling at Selari's flushed face.
Indeed, everyone had drunk alcohol last night while watching the stars at home.
Talot originally didn't want Selari to drink, but the girl insisted. Who knew she would get drunk after a few cans of beer, almost causing a major incident.
Fortunately, Talot knocked her unconscious, and she remained that way until now.
You ask, everyone drank alcohol, so didn't anything more intimate happen? Of course not.
In fact, Talot had gradually come to terms with the age issue, but he still didn't plan to let such things happen so casually.
Whether it was for Selari or Bulma, at least they had to be sober and express their feelings honestly.
"Talot, you're making fun of me," Selari said, even more shy from Talot's teasing.
She stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and bit him.
Talot could react to this sudden attack, but he didn't dodge.
He simply let Selari act spoiled.
She really is a little girl. Although she looks mature on the outside, Selari is still a simple and pure girl at heart.
Over the years, she had been cultivating and improving her strength, understanding each other to the fullest extent.
What Talot wanted to see was Selari's hidden innocence and romance.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore, but you can't drink alcohol anymore in the future. Your constitution is special, you can't drink," Talot said, rubbing Selari's hair, watching her release her mouth, and then added, "Let's go downstairs."
Selari looked at Talot, then at the mark she had bitten, which was almost bleeding, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Talot, I didn't mean to."
"It's okay, isn't it good this way? If you still want to bite, I'll give you my other hand too. From now on, live for yourself, live more authentically," Talot said, smiling and squinting his eyes.
Selari's cheeks flushed again. Clearly, Talot had never said these words to her before, making her feel closer to him.
...
PS: The chapter title of the previous chapter was wrong. I originally wanted to write about the Red Ribbon Army in the previous chapter, but the word count was reached, so it's in this chapter.
It seems that the chapter title cannot be modified, so let it be. In short, these two chapters are a span, and then a slight daily transition, and the next plot will unfold soon.
