"Second wish, what do you want?"
Porunga's voice echoed again.
Goku's heart disease had been cured, and the androids couldn't track them for now, so what about the second wish...
Raditz thought for a moment, then raised his head. "Porunga, I want to know the location of the Super Dragon Balls!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, even the Namekians were stunned. Super Dragon Balls? They'd never heard of such things. Was there something even more advanced than the Dragon Balls they knew?
Porunga gave them their answer: "I can tell you their location." The ever-helpful dragon added, "How would you like to know?"
"Transfer it directly to my mind. I can remember star maps."
"Very well." With his eyes glowing, Porunga gestured and said, "It is done."
Super Dragon Balls really existed! The Namekians were collectively shocked and looked at Raditz with even more admiration.
Before Porunga could ask anything more, Raditz had already thought of his final wish: "For my last wish, please find me a planet similar to Planet Vegeta. After wandering for so long, I should finally have a home."
At those words, Raditz felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his expression suddenly relaxed.
Porunga cooperatively located an unnamed planet in the northern galaxy. The environment was similar to the ancient Planet Plant, with conditions perfect for Saiyan survival.
After granting the wishes, the dragon turned to stone and scattered.
"Thank you so much. I was in a hurry this time, but I'll bring gifts when I visit next time." Raditz waved and smiled.
"Haha, no need at all. We're just happy we could help you."
The Grand Elder and Raditz exchanged a few more polite words, when suddenly the elder looked at the two children behind him. They were staring at Raditz nervously but eagerly, their bright eyes full of longing.
"Dende, Cargo, don't be shy." The elder touched their little heads and said to Raditz, "Actually, they want to go out and see the universe, especially after meeting you last time. They've been talking about it non-stop."
Having been called out by the Grand Elder, both little ones blushed and hid even deeper behind him.
Raditz approached slowly. "Well, how about I take them to Earth to visit? There's an old Namekian there too—he's Earth's guardian god. You could be apprentice gods and live in the lookout to study. There's lots to learn, and the rules aren't too strict."
"Really?" Dende, who was more outgoing than Cargo, shouted happily.
"Of course."
Both children looked to the elder with questioning eyes. The Grand Elder nodded—if Dende and Cargo were going with Raditz, he had no worries.
After saying goodbye to everyone on Namek, Raditz returned to Earth with Dende and Cargo.
Although the trip to Namek hadn't solved the android problem, there were plenty of other gains. The two little Namekians had powerful healing abilities that would be a huge help, and with training from Kami, they'd become very capable in the future.
Raditz descended directly to the lookout, startling both Kami and Mr. Popo. They weren't frightened by his sudden appearance, but because they both felt the dimensional shift in the man before them.
Something far above them! It made them want to bow down in worship!
"You... you..." Just like when Piccolo first saw the Supreme Kai, Kami was too shocked by Raditz to speak properly, as if something was stuck in his throat.
"Don't panic, I'm still Raditz. It's just that I'm an apprentice Supreme Kai now!"
"I greet you, Apprentice Supreme Kai!"
As Earth's guardian, he could clearly sense Raditz's dimensional superiority. Even an apprentice Supreme Kai carried a majesty that made ordinary gods tremble with fear.
The little guardian only knew of King Kai's existence, and even the Grand Kai was a legendary figure to him, let alone a Supreme Kai! When Raditz said he was an apprentice Supreme Kai, how could Kami not be startled!
"Don't be so surprised, keep it low-key. I'm entrusting these two children to you this time. Take good care of them and train them as potential guardian candidates, but don't be too strict."
"Yes, Lord Apprentice Supreme Kai!" Kami became extremely respectful, sweat dripping down his cheeks.
Mr. Popo was very interested in the two children and quietly made funny faces at them, causing Kami to frantically signal him to stop.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm leaving now, goodbye." Raditz was worried he might give Kami a heart attack from shock, so he didn't stay long. After handing Dende and Cargo over to Kami, he flew down.
Next, Raditz flew to Korin Tower.
"Hi, Korin, Yajirobe."
"Hello, Raditz." Korin seemed to have expected him, holding his staff in one hand while keeping the other behind his back. "What can I do for you?"
"I want to ask for more senzu beans. I've almost used up the last batch. Honestly, senzu beans are really important."
Korin glanced at Yajirobe and shook his head helplessly. "The ones I gave Goku last time were already the final batch, and the ones I planted recently... he ate them all. There weren't many to begin with."
Raditz suddenly felt the urge to hit someone. So many senzu beans wasted on just you alone—what reckless consumption! He looked over coldly, and Yajirobe, knowing he was in trouble, quickly hid to the side, clumsily trying to conceal his large body.
Seeing his panicked and ridiculous actions, Raditz felt completely helpless.
"What's wrong? I don't see why you'd need so many senzu beans. What happened? I heard from Kami that the greatest demon has already been defeated by you."
"I have an ominous feeling that the more senzu beans we have, the better. Even if we don't need them now, they'll be useful in the future." Raditz suddenly thought of something. "How are senzu beans grown?"
"Eh?" Korin didn't expect that question. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Can you tell me how to grow them? Why is the yield so low?"
Raditz wanted to obtain large quantities of senzu beans because of the androids' disappearance—the unknown always made him uneasy.
From the very beginning, there had been countless times when senzu beans were needed in battle. Compared to healing pods, senzu beans had faster effects and were extremely helpful for Saiyans to increase their power levels. When dealing with Broly, it was thanks to senzu beans that they had a chance to fight back.
However, senzu bean production was never enough. Moreover, there were many fighters now, and opponents were getting stronger and stronger. Having enough senzu beans as insurance was definitely beneficial.
"I don't know the origin of senzu beans. According to legend, they were food of the gods long ago, and somehow ended up on Earth. According to my ancestors, when humans had just learned to walk upright, two noble gods came to Earth and gave the Earth's guardian at that time a plant from the divine realm as a reward. Later, that plant died, and its soil was used to grow senzu beans, but the senzu beans have survived to this day. Now..."
Korin shook his head. "Where could we possibly find such divine soil? Therefore, only one small patch of land can grow senzu beans, and each plant's yield is limited, so the overall production isn't high."
I see, soil from the divine realm... Raditz smiled.
"Is that so? That's actually pretty simple."
"Simple?" Korin was dumbfounded. He suspected Raditz hadn't heard him clearly. This was soil from the divine realm they were talking about.
Raditz waved his hand, said goodbye to Korin, and disappeared in an instant. Weren't those gods who came to Earth millions of years ago when humans first walked upright Supreme Kais? Digging up some soil from the Supreme Kai's realm might seem impossible to others, but for him it was a piece of cake.
Yajirobe breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw Raditz's figure disappear, and sat down heavily on the ground.
Korin laughed loudly. "Let's see if you're still so greedy now." While laughing, he also gazed into the distance, feeling a bit of doubt in his heart.
