Chapter 961 Nobita's Meal That Can Be Helped Out

"Then it's settled!"

Goku was in a great mood after the matter was resolved. "Wow, I can't wait to start training with you! I'll teach you Kaioken and Instant Transmission, and you have to guide me in my training too!"

"Of course, in my opinion, your potential as a Saiyan is far from its limit."

Lu Li nodded and glanced at Vegeta, "Vegeta is the same as other Saiyans. Anyone who wants to join the training can come along."

Vegeta, who had been envious of Goku's opportunity to train with powerful individuals and regretted his earlier arrogant rejection of his wife's invitation, became excited upon hearing Lu Li say that they could also train together.

However, he maintained the aloofness of a Saiyan prince on the surface, saying, "Well, I'll go take a look when I have time."

"Hehe, Vegeta, don't let me leave you behind."

Goku, however, laughed and said something, which made Vegeta turn his head away unhappily.

After the matter was settled, everyone was very happy and the banquet continued.

Since Lu Li was going to stay at Gohan's house, he chatted with Gohan for a while, which left Lu Li with many feelings.

First of all, he admired Gohan's perseverance, because as Goku's son, Gohan shouldn't have been a natural academic genius, but Gohan actually managed to study and advance all the way up, eventually becoming a PhD in biology.

Although even the comic book comment section on social media jokingly refers to Gohan as "Nobita Gohan," in all fairness, Gohan's life has been quite successful.

Qiqi went to great lengths for her son's education, and finally managed to raise him to be a successful person.

Gohan is very ambitious because his dream of becoming a scholar is not a task given to him by his mother, but his own. So even if others are angry at him for not living up to his potential, Gohan himself has a fulfilling life.

All I can say is that Gohan is truly gifted. Whether he's studying or fighting, he can achieve success in either area.

Of course, from Lu Li's own perspective, he still felt sorry for Gohan, because Gohan... was truly useless!

Because the cultivation system on Earth is mainly based on ki, even Goku could get injured by bullets if he slacked off in his training, let alone Gohan.

Due to a long period of neglecting his training, Gohan's strength has not only stagnated, but has practically regressed to the point of no return.

Lu Li recalled Gohan's various shining moments in the manga. As the first half-human, half-Saiyan, Gohan's potential was so high that it could be said to surpass that of his father and Vegeta. It was just a pity that he did not inherit the martial arts king's heart from his father and Vegeta.

Gohan was once the strongest in the series, but now he really gives people the feeling of being a weakling, which makes Lu Li feel sorry for his wasted fighting talent.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Chi-Chi or Gohan themselves. Everyone has their own path. At least during this period, Gohan chose to prioritize realizing his dream of becoming a scholar, and he was satisfied with that.

However, Lu Li knew that this universe was not peaceful. According to Aizen's analysis, the Dragon Ball universe was actually full of hidden dangers. In addition to the main storyline, even the enemies from the theatrical anime could appear in the space.

In various adversities, Gohan gradually realizes that only his fists can protect the people he loves. However, whenever Gohan wants to train again to fight for Earth and his family and friends, he finds that he has fallen too far behind.

"Gohan, I just heard from your brother Goten that you once saved the Earth and were incredibly powerful back then. So why has your strength declined so much now?"

Lu Li asked directly, as he was actually very curious about how Gohan became weaker.

From the perspective of an explorer, he would understand that becoming weaker without training combat skills is understandable, but it is strange that attributes would also drop so much.

"If you slack off in your cultivation, your body will naturally become a bit rusty..."

Gohan was a little embarrassed. "Dad always says that if I don't train, I'll regress, but I don't have any situations where I need to fight right now."

Lu Li's expression was strange, mainly because he could tell from Goten and Trunks' ages that it hadn't actually been many years since they defeated Majin Buu.

Thinking back to the "God Han" in the original story, and then looking at Gohan in front of him, Lu Li couldn't imagine what Gohan had gone through in such a short time to become like this.

"You can't possibly not even be able to transform into a Super Saiyan anymore, can you?"

Lu Li said with a strange expression, because when the five of them charged up their power towards Goku earlier, Gohan seemed to be having some difficulty holding back. He even suspected that it was because everyone helped Gohan transform that they were able to successfully transform.

Mentioning this, Gohan was a little embarrassed, clenching his fist with one hand, "Well... I guess I'd become a Super Saiyan too."

This lack of confidence in his statement confirmed to Lu Li that Gohan was indeed useless.

"Now that you've become a scholar, don't you want to try returning to your spiritual practice?"

Lu Li sighed and said that he was a martial arts expert himself, and it was a real pity to see such a promising talent go to waste, so he just asked casually.

As a result, right after he said those words, a notification sound suddenly rang in his ear.

[Conditions met, hidden quest triggered: The Nobita Rice That Can Be Helped Out]

Lu Li glanced at the task menu and thought the space was really quirky.

[Hidden Mission: Nobita's Meatball, Who Can Be Helped Out]

Mission objective: To help Gohan resume his training, unleash his potential, and reach a new peak, allowing him to surpass his father once again (even in the short term).

Task Difficulty: Hard to Nightmare
Mission Reward: Saiyan Bloodline Item

Failure penalty: -1 point in all attributes

Lu Li chuckled upon seeing the details of the mission, thinking to himself that space is the omnipotent dragon! What the Dragon Balls on Earth can't do, space can.

If Nobita can regain his former glory, he can obtain the Saiyan bloodline item, but this task seems quite difficult.

"As for cultivation... it feels quite peaceful right now."

When Lu Li asked Gohan, he didn't seem very interested in training again. The main reason was that he had a new research topic in biology recently, which was how hermaphroditic organisms reproduce.

If he can complete the task and publish the paper, he will achieve great success in academia.

He even tried to ask Uncle Bick to be his advisor, but Uncle Bick refused and beat him up.

"Peace?"

Having already received the mission, Lu Li began to seriously change Gohan's mindset. "Gohan, you probably don't realize what kind of crisis you went through today."

"What crisis?"

Gohan seems a bit slow.

Lu Li couldn't help but facepalm. "Didn't you hear Lord Beerus say he was going to destroy Earth?" Gohan replied somewhat awkwardly, "I thought he was just teasing a child."

The atmosphere was generally harmonious at the time. Beerus had even eaten pudding with Goten earlier, and he thought Goten was a good person, so he naturally didn't think Beerus would destroy the Earth.

Lu Li looked disappointed. "Even if you might misunderstand from the tone of his words, you don't think the destructive energy Lord Beerus is wielding is child's play, do you?"

Seeing that Gohan was a little confused, Lu Lixin finished speaking, "This kid is really hopeless!"

When Beerus was gathering destructive energy, Vegeta was sweating profusely. Lu Li could tell that Vegeta was ready to fight to the death. Goku was also on high alert, and the others, such as Piccolo, tensed up their muscles.

Lu Li saw that Gohan was very calm at that time and thought that Gohan's state of mind was unusual. It turned out that Gohan did not realize how dangerous the energy Beerus had gathered was, even though Beerus had good control over the power and the energy did not dissipate.

However, Gohan has neglected his ability to sense ki, which is a signature skill of Earthlings, showing how lax he has become.

Moreover, the speed at which he regressed was simply astonishing. Just a few years after defeating Majin Buu, he had become like this. Lu Li couldn't even imagine how much Gohan would regress if it were to reach the GT era (if there were one).

"Lord Beerus, I managed to persuade you to stop today, but I hope you understand that the universe is vast and full of wonders, and new storms are coming. If you continue to neglect your martial arts, I'm afraid you'll only be able to cheer for your father and Uncle Vegeta from the rear."

Lu Li said that he was not exaggerating, because he and Aizen were not the only ones who were put into this world. When he came in, he saw that there were other space deployment records on the menu bar. Although there were few people, they were definitely all elites.

Explorers love to stir up trouble; if there's nothing going on, they'll create something, otherwise they won't be able to gain world exploration points.

Furthermore, this world is never peaceful to begin with. Once a powerful enemy invades and Frieza is resurrected as Golden Frieza, Gohan will be in for a rough time.

"Is this so..."

After hearing Lu Li's words, Gohan finally felt a sense of tension, and thinking back on what had happened that day, he felt a wave of fear.

If the conflict is not resolved today, and the God of Destruction really wants to destroy the earth, wouldn't he be left with nothing but his wife, helplessly waiting for death?

The thought of his unborn child filled Gohan with a sense of mission, and he realized that he could no longer afford to waste his training.

Doing academic research is also important, but only if the Earth is still intact. If the Earth is gone, who will read his papers?

What's the point of making money if he can't even protect his own family?

Upon realizing this, Gohan's eyes changed, and he looked at Lu Li solemnly, "Please, Mr. Lu, allow me to join your training!"

Looking at Gohan's expression, Lu Li finally nodded in satisfaction, "That's how it should be."

The lively banquet continued on the cruise ship, and in the evening, after everyone had enjoyed themselves, they all went their separate ways.

Those with spaceships fly them, those without use aerial magic to leave. It just goes to show that the poor have their way of life, and the rich have theirs.

Before leaving, because of Videl's pleas and because Lu Li was going to stay at Gohan's house, Lu Li released the pressure point seal on Fat Buu.

Fat Buu seemed very dissatisfied. After releasing his pressure points, gas bubbled from his body as he prepared to fight Lu Li.

Satan tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but he couldn't stop him at all. As a result, Buu rushed up and was beaten up by Lu Li again.

In the end, Lu Li unleashed his killing intent during the battle, which even made Fat Buu tremble with fear. However, Buu was once a demon and was not easily intimidated. Helplessly, Lu Li still managed to seal Fat Buu by striking his pressure points.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li began eating all sorts of delicious food in front of Buu, making Fat Buu extremely envious.

"Buu... wants to eat!"

Fat Buu's mouth wasn't sealed shut, and he was drooling with desire, forgetting his anger for a moment.

"Have you learned your lesson?"

Lu Li smiled as he looked at Buu, and even summoned Ah Huo from his pet space, letting Ah Huo feast beside him.

"Buu... wants to eat! Buu will eat with everyone!"

Fat Buu's eyes turned red as he looked at Lu Li's delicious food, but in the end he succumbed to the power of the food.

After the pressure points were released from Fat Buu, he joined the food frenzy. Conquered by the delicious food, he instinctively treated the person who gave him the food as a friend and no longer harbored any hostility.

"I'll introduce you to a friend. If you can teach it the technology to absorb living organisms to become stronger, I'll give you even more delicious food."

Lu Li patted Ah Huo's plump buttocks and said to Buu.

Even in the current version, Majin Buu still has the potential to become a boss, because he can become stronger by absorbing powerful beings. However, the current Fat Buu is the Good Buu, and he no longer absorbs others.

Lu Li didn't know the principle behind Fat Buu's ability to become stronger by devouring living beings; it could be a biological mechanism or magic.

He didn't really expect Ah Huo to learn it, but if he could gain some insight, then Ah Huo might also be able to find a way to transform.

"Buu, delicious food! Friends!"

Fat Buu was in a good mood after eating something delicious, and he even took Ah Huo's paw, indicating that he would be friends with Ah Huo.

"Mr. Lu, this panda..."

Satan stood to the side, somewhat at a loss. Despite being hailed as the strongest in the world, he had always known who the real savior of the earth was and that Lu Li was an even more outrageous monster than Wukong. Therefore, he spoke very cautiously.

"Oh, Mr. Satan, could you please take care of it for me? Don't worry, I'll provide its food. Just make sure they don't fight."

Lu Li said that he planned to send Ah Huo to Satan's care so that Ah Huo could follow Buu and see if he could observe and learn anything.

However, watching Ah Huo and Buu, two chubby guys, singing and dancing, he suddenly suspected that Ah Huo wasn't learning anything at all and would only get fatter from eating with Buu.

After settling Ah Huo in, Lu Li left with Gohan and the others to head to their new home in the city.

On the way, Lu Li asked Gohan some more questions, mainly about Gohan's experience of transforming into God Food.

Lu Li was also very interested in the methods used by the Supreme Kai and the Namekian Grand Elder to stimulate human potential, but he didn't know if these methods would still be effective for him as an explorer.

His limiter removal talent was theoretically very effective before the ninth rank, but the rate of improvement slowed down in the later stages of the eighth rank. At least it was no longer the case that he could improve his overall attributes by simply cultivating for a few months.

So Lu Li pondered whether there was a faster way to unleash his potential.
