Raditz brought Tumat back to Bulma's house and had him share the scan data with Dr. Brief. He also sent word to scientists from various nations across the universe, gathering them all on Earth for research!
The goal was clear—starting from these clues, they had to find the missing androids.
Besides the android problem, there was also the change in Earth's magnetic field that Porunga had mentioned. What exactly that meant was worth serious consideration.
After arranging all this, Raditz grabbed a big basket and returned to the Supreme Kai Realm. He dug it full of soil and carried it back and forth, trip after trip. Seeing this, both the Supreme Kai and Kibito were left speechless, not knowing what to say. When Korin saw the soil from the divine realm, he was so shocked he nearly fell off his tower!
Using instant transmission continuously was exhausting work. Raditz felt like a common laborer—his muscular body was covered in sweat that glistened under the light. But he found this kind of work interesting. While experiencing control over his power, he focused his mind to cultivate his spiritual strength.
After working for two days, Raditz had established huge farmlands on both Earth and the new Saiyan planet, dedicated to producing senzu beans. He specially dispatched Angila and a group of elites from headquarters to manage everything while simultaneously beginning construction on New Planet Vegeta.
The original senzu bean production wasn't large, and it would take a long time to reach mass production levels.
During this period, when Goku and the others were free, Raditz returned to Planet Yardrat for battle training to improve their strength.
To his surprise, Tarble and the others had also improved by leaps and bounds—there were even signs they might break through to Super Saiyan!
Not everyone could become a Super Saiyan. They needed a certain amount of S-cells, then had to be triggered by anger. Vegeta naturally inherited plenty of S-cells. After reaching a certain strength level, he just lacked the right trigger, so his transformation process didn't require intense stimulation.
But Raditz and Goku were different—one through transmigration, the other originally pure-hearted with a stable mindset. Through continuous training, their strength reached a bottleneck, and through extreme emotions, their S-cells grew explosively. Even though they both had few S-cells initially, they still succeeded in transforming.
Compared to them, after being found by Raditz, Tarble and the others' lives had improved dramatically. Their peace of mind accelerated S-cell growth. Combined with this spiritual training, their cellular energy had been completely unleashed.
Now that he thought about it, the Saiyans' initial combat power tests on infants were really testing S-cell counts. What they called "talent" was just that—they ignored how people could change through experience!
Raditz was very confident in these guys, especially Nappa, whose beard had grown back. He wondered if his beard would return after transforming too.
So, traveling between Planet Yardrat, Earth, and the Supreme Kai Realm, a year and a half passed quietly...
Everyone had learned techniques suited to their individual focus! Some people deliberately used instant transmission to show off their skills on the return trip.
Of course, Tien and Launch were the most outstanding, which made everyone suffer through plenty of their lovey-dovey moments.
After the two returned from the Galaxy Tournament, they went on a month-long trip together. The details of what happened were indescribable—only Chiaotzu knew what he'd witnessed, and he always blushed and hesitated whenever asked about it.
But afterward, whenever everyone saw blonde Launch, she was definitely holding onto Tien's arm.
Finally, after more than a year since returning from their Yardrat training, Tien confessed to Launch in front of everyone and announced plans for a grand wedding one month later.
Everyone in the know congratulated them and immediately crowded around.
"Oh ho ho ho, you're finally together! Not bad at all."
"I said from the beginning that Launch and Tien were perfect for each other."
"Tien, leave everything to me—I'll make sure it's perfect." Zangya patted her chest and confidently made the promise.
"This..." Tien hesitated to trouble everyone.
But Zangya insisted on handling it and talked through lots of ideas, making blonde Launch clap with excitement. So the wedding arrangements were handed over to Zangya.
"Haha, since Zangya's the planner, I'll be the best man," Krillin said with a smile.
"Me too!"
"I want to be best man too!"
A group of Saiyans had never attended a wedding, let alone knew what a best man was, but they all wanted to try something new.
Pepara was right next to Krillin. She folded her arms and scoffed, "Why are you all making such a fuss? Don't you know your shiny head will steal all the attention?"
Ever since the Galaxy Tournament, Pepara had enjoyed teasing Krillin, and the two were always bickering—even on Planet Yardrat. It seemed to follow some kind of natural law.
Hearing Pepara's comment, Krillin couldn't help curling his lips to fight back. "That's better than some tomboy!"
"What did you say?!" Pepara had learned plenty of Earth vocabulary over the years, and she immediately got furious when called that. She grabbed Krillin by the shirt and lifted him up.
Her strength was enormous, and she pulled Krillin right up to her face.
The distance between them was very close. Pepara had a curvy figure and was wearing a short casual vest. Her chest heaved up and down with anger, and they were almost pressed together. After coming to Earth, Pepara had also learned about fashion and makeup. The light lip gloss and the fragrance of her hair made Krillin's throat tighten, and suddenly both of them blushed.
The surroundings went quiet. Everyone stared with interest, and Master Roshi's sunglasses slipped off his nose.
"Hmph, I don't have time for you!" Pepara let go and turned around.
Krillin moved his lips, ready to say something, but in the end he didn't. Yamcha caught the signs and laughed loudly, "Since everyone's okay with it, let's all help with the preparations! We'll have a really grand wedding in a month!"
"Yes, yes," Master Roshi agreed helpfully.
The atmosphere immediately returned to its previous enthusiasm.
"By the way, who else should we notify?"
"Let's see, besides everyone here, um..." Zangya counted on her fingers. "Raditz, Goku's family, Nappa and Vegeta... hey, Bulma doesn't seem to be here either."
Speaking of Bulma, Yamcha crossed his arms and sighed slightly. "She's taking care of the baby!"
"Huh? When did that happen?"
Everyone was shocked.
"She got pregnant just before we went to Yardrat. If you knew who the father was, you'd be even more surprised." Yamcha looked mysterious.
Everyone was even more surprised. "Isn't it you?"
"Hmph, we broke up after that first battle with Cooler, and the child's father is Vegeta!"
Astonishment, surprise, and disbelief appeared on everyone's faces. No one had thought the child's father would be the proud Vegeta. Just another bombshell.
They'd spent a year and a half focused entirely on training, and suddenly realized a lot had actually happened...
