Chapter 87 Red Stone Planet's Saiyans
"State your third wish!"
Shenron Porunga's dignified, deep voice awakened Turles from learning divine language.
Opening his eyes, seeing Nail staring at him curiously, Turles shook his head. "I only have these two wishes."
This time, Turles truly had no wishes requiring immediate fulfillment. The wishes he wanted to make weren't ones Porunga could grant.
So Turles directly gave up the final wish.
After telling the Grand Elder about Makaio's Namekians, Turles ignored Nail's request to challenge him and directly left Namek.
Returning to Red Stone Planet, Turles immediately sensed many unfamiliar ki. Somewhat intrigued, he came to the base's plaza.
However, one figure's appearance surprised Turles somewhat.
"Kakarot? What are you doing here?"
Seeing Goku's figure, Turles couldn't help asking.
"Boss? You're back?" Seeing Turles, Goku grew somewhat excited. This was his first time seeing so many masters.
Walking before Turles, Goku explained, "I was training at King Kai's when suddenly a voice appeared in my mind saying you wanted me to come to Red Stone Planet, Boss. I agreed and came over. Boss, are these all Saiyans? So many fighters!" After speaking, Goku's eyes shone as he looked at the plaza's other Saiyans.
"I didn't..." Just saying a few words, Turles reacted. He didn't finish the rest. However, Porunga actually summoned Goku from another dimensional space. Seemed Porunga was quite user-friendly.
Ignoring the overly excited Goku, Turles continued looking toward the plaza.
In the plaza, Nappa stood in midair, expression grave as he watched the Saiyans who'd just arrived at Red Stone below.
This group of Saiyans wasn't too numerous—roughly just over twenty. Moreover, they all looked relatively young, wearing various clothing. Some barely covered key body parts. However, these people's common point was bodies covered in bruises, like they'd just been beaten.
"First, welcome to Red Stone Planet!"
Nappa spoke. His burly frame paired with that fierce face made all Saiyans involuntarily shudder. Several young Saiyans with swollen faces showed especially terrified expressions.
Turles watched these people's reactions and smiled with amusement.
"Given some misunderstandings just now, I need to make an explanation."
"Red Stone Planet—the Saiyans' new home. Here, you'll no longer be wandering orphans. Because from now on, you have clansmen, have belonging. No longer lonely ghosts!"
Speaking here, Nappa paused. Seeing the disdain on present Saiyans' faces, his tone immediately shifted as he continued:
"Believe you're also curious how exactly you came to Red Stone Planet."
Hearing this, all Saiyans below grew interested. They couldn't imagine such miraculous ability—just agreeing to that voice, their bodies appeared on this so-called "Red Stone Planet."
Regarding these people's expressions, Nappa was very satisfied. The muscles on his face twitched. He continued, "This is the miraculous ability of Red Stone's boss, my boss, your future boss—Turles."
"Turles? Who's that?"
"Who else could it be? That voice said it was this Turles who brought us here."
"Right, right, I remember now!"
"Quiet!" Nappa shouted loudly, stopping these people's commotion. Then he said, "Boss's miracles don't stop there! Now, pick up your battle power scouters. Turn them on."
Hearing Nappa's words, everyone immediately wore scouters on their ears. They naturally understood scouters' function. So they were all somewhat curious—exactly how much battle power did this big man have? Most of them were captured by this guy.
Beep beep beep!
Battle power scouters continuously sounded. They also saw Nappa's current battle power.
"1,000!"
"Impossible! How can it only be 1,000? My battle power is already 2,000. How could his 1,000 battle power easily defeat me!"
One Saiyan saw the scouter's number and immediately disbelieved. He shouted loudly. Then he pointed at himself and pressed the scouter. Seeing the displayed 2,025 battle power, he immediately couldn't speak.
Nappa didn't bother with this clansman. He just drew both hands to his waist. Next second, he began exploding with ki.
"Ha!!!"
With a loud shout, Nappa's ki completely exploded.
Beep beep beep!
"32,510!" A young Saiyan exclaimed, stating Nappa's current battle power.
"So this is his true strength? No wonder he defeated me so easily!"
"But how did he do it? Clearly only 1,000 battle power, suddenly rising to over 30,000?"
Seeing he'd already shocked these people, Nappa nodded satisfiedly. Then he signaled to Bela on the side.
Bela felt somewhat unwilling. She had no time to manage these newcomers with Nappa. But after thinking, she still agreed.
Whoosh!
An air-splitting sound rang out. When present Saiyans recovered, they discovered a female Saiyan had already appeared beside Nappa.
"Fuu! This chick's hot. This grandpa likes her!"
Seeing Bela appear, a pockmarked, mohawked strongman couldn't help whistling and immediately teased.
"Ha!" Another crisp shout. Then they discovered the battle power scouter displayed another value—precisely Bela's battle power. Currently, the value showed...
"13,510!"
"How's that possible? This girl is how old? Just barely adult, right? Could she be an elite warrior?"
The earlier mohawk somewhat disbelieved. Eyes wide, he stared at the youthful-looking Bela, muttering unconsciously.
After demonstrating, Bela nodded at Nappa. Expression blank, she withdrew her ki. She descended from the air, directly landing before that mohawk.
Cold-faced, she stared at this already-trembling mohawk for a long time. Just as the mohawk nearly couldn't stand, Bela snorted coldly. She directly shot skyward toward the gravity room.
After Bela left, everyone present stopped speaking. They just used blazing eyes to watch Nappa.
No one was a fool. After Nappa and Bela's demonstration, all present Saiyans had already guessed Nappa's purpose. For Saiyans, this was no different from placing fine wine before an alcoholic.
Seeing his goal achieved, Nappa wasn't polite. He immediately explained Red Stone's benefits. Present Saiyans listened with increasingly bright eyes!
Turles, who'd watched Nappa's entire performance, was now somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected the outwardly rough Nappa possessed such skills. He'd really underestimated him.
Seeing Goku also wanted to join in, Turles teased, "Kakarot, won't you go compare with them?"
Originally just Turles's teasing remark—unexpectedly, Goku took it seriously. Eyes shining, he looked at Turles expectantly. "Can I, Boss?"
Turles's expression froze. Finally, he could only nod with a wry smile.
Seeing Turles agree, Goku immediately rushed into the crowd, wanting to find someone to challenge.
Seeing this, Turles could only helplessly shake his head, then turn and leave.
Conference Room.
Turles sat on the sofa, listening to Karl's report together with Paragus and Broly.
"My lord, according to statistics, 28 Saiyans returned to Red Stone Planet this time. Among them, 21 male Saiyans, 7 female."
"After Lord Nappa's testing, 18 have battle power above 1,000, 5 above 2,000, only 1 above 3,000!"
"According to..."
"Wait, there's actually someone with 3,000 battle power? Let me see this person's information!" Turles suddenly interrupted Karl's report.
Taking the tablet, Turles looked at the displayed information:
Name: Bellia
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Battle Power: 3,214
Potential Level: Mid-tier Warrior
Looking at the tablet information, Turles suddenly frowned. Especially this "mid-tier warrior" potential classification made him feel somewhat glaring.
Putting down the tablet, Turles rubbed his brow. His fingers lightly tapped the sofa as he fell into thought.
Seeing this, Paragus and son Broly exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Throughout the conference room, aside from Turles's tapping sounds, all other sounds had completely vanished. Everyone's gaze fell on Turles.
Unknowingly, Turles had become everyone's center point. Even Paragus seemed to have resigned himself, giving up competing with Turles for Saiyan leadership.
After thinking a while, Turles recovered. Seeing everyone watching him, Turles felt somewhat puzzled. However, he didn't dwell on it. Just looked at Paragus and asked, "Paragus, don't you think Planet Vegeta's previous warrior classification is somewhat inapplicable now?"
"What? Warrior classification? What's wrong with it?" Paragus didn't quite understand.
Seeing this, Turles patiently explained, "Look, Red Stone now has different training methods from Planet Vegeta. Whether gravity rooms, ki control methods, or even the mental training methods Teacher Merus left."
"These methods can let someone whose potential level is just lower-class warrior raise battle power far exceeding previous elite warriors or even elite warriors. Moreover, ki control methods don't emphasize physical quality but comprehension."
"So if we continue using previous potential evaluations, it's somewhat inaccurate."
Hearing this, Paragus understood Turles's idea. He thought carefully—facts were indeed as Turles described.
Like him—his previous potential level was elite warrior. But even now, he hadn't mastered ki control methods. Yet Bela, once a lower-class warrior, not only mastered ki control but raised battle power above 10,000.
Also the Cury brothers—initially evaluated as lower-class warrior potential. Now the three had over 3,000 battle power. In the past, that was mid-tier warrior level.
Not to mention the Saiyans now recalled to Red Stone—most were classified as lower-class warrior potential. Using the previous system was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
After thinking, Paragus asked Turles, "What ideas do you have?"
Hearing this, Turles pondered a moment and spoke, "I'm thinking this way—now don't look at potential level at all. Only look at battle power. Classify by battle power."
"Battle power classification?"
Turles nodded, explaining, "That's right, battle power. As long as battle power reaches 10,000, that's beginner warrior. Battle power reaching 50,000 is intermediate warrior. Battle power reaching 100,000 is advanced warrior. Like me and Broly with battle power exceeding 1 million—temporarily classified as special-class warrior. Of course, this is in normal state, not including Great Ape transformation."
"As for how to spark their interest in striving to improve their combat strength, that will require careful consideration."
Initially hearing Turles's battle power divisions, Paragus still felt somewhat inappropriate. After all, 10,000 battle power as just beginner warrior—that was quite extravagant for any race.
However, after careful thought, Paragus felt current Red Stone truly could be this extravagant. So he agreed.
But hearing the end, Paragus couldn't help it. "Turles, these Saiyans don't need any incentive. As long as they can raise battle power, everyone will work hard. Don't need any rewards."
Hearing this, Turles's eyes slightly raised. He said meaningfully, "That may not be certain. For instance, a certain long-haired Saiyan who won't reveal his name."
Hearing Turles say this, Paragus immediately remembered. Indeed, among their Saiyans, there was such an oddball.
Thinking of someone, Paragus felt somewhat teeth-gritting, saying with disappointment, "Next I'll find ways to make him behave."
Neither named who, but both clearly knew they meant the same person. Broly on the side, hearing this, was amused.
Broly's laughter drew Turles's attention. He looked at current Broly, discovering he'd grown much—not physically, but mentally and intellectually.
"Broly, what are you laughing at?" Turles was somewhat curious about current Broly's state.
Broly hadn't expected Turles would ask him. His face immediately blanked as he stared dully at Turles.
Seeing that familiar honest youth, Turles shook his head somewhat speechlessly. "Nothing!"
Skipping Broly's episode, Turles continued discussing with Paragus. Soon, the two worked out a rough plan.
After Paragus left, Turles continued thinking how to incentivize those Saiyans to earnestly raise battle power.
He needed these Saiyans to get competitive. Because this involved his subsequent plans. Current Saiyans were still too weak.
Speaking of which, Dragon Ball world had quite a few good things. Whether Earth's Senzu Beans or Dragon Balls, or his planted Spirit Tree fruit—these things either raised battle power or preserved life at critical moments. Using these as incentives, all Saiyans would go crazy.
However, there was one problem—whether Senzu Beans, Dragon Balls, or Spirit Tree fruit, quantities weren't large. Using these as rewards meant many couldn't enjoy them.
So Turles ideally needed to find something that could satisfy all Saiyans' consumption, could be mass-produced, and was useful to Saiyans.
Thinking this, Turles felt somewhat troubled. If not for Raditz, Turles wouldn't have imagined that with Saiyans' battle-loving nature, someone could actually slack off. Truly when the forest grows large, all kinds of birds appear.
After thinking a long time without ideas, Turles could only temporarily set this thought aside. Anyway, Red Stone's current Saiyan numbers were still very few. No need to rush.
Sure enough, when encountering unsolvable problems, the best method was setting them aside. That way, troubles decreased.
Leaving the conference room, Turles originally wanted to train in the gravity room. But immediately realized the gravity room was probably full. After thinking, he turned toward the laboratory.
Arriving at the laboratory, Turles indeed saw Bulma's figure.
Walking behind Bulma, Turles originally wanted to see what Bulma was researching. But seeing the densely packed characters on the screen, he decisively gave up.
"Bulma, what are you researching again?" Turles hugged Bulma from behind, somewhat making conversation.
"Time machine!"
Bulma wasn't surprised by Turles's arrival. Just gently leaned against Turles's chest, reaching to pinch her brow.
"Time machine?" Turles was immediately shocked. Did Bulma already start researching this thing?
Sensing Turles's surprise, Bulma turned her head and looked at him strangely. Puzzled, she asked, "What? You know about it?"
Not that Bulma looked down on Turles. Rather, Bulma knew her boyfriend put all his energy into raising battle power. Though he had some strange ideas about technology, he only half-understood these things.
Seeing Bulma watching him, Turles recovered from shock and immediately said, "No, you know me. How could I research these things?"
Currently, Turles didn't know exactly what he thought. To say supporting Bulma's continued research felt somewhat inappropriate.
Because Turles knew that throughout all universes, traversing spacetime was forbidden. Even if Supreme Kais used Time Rings to shuttle past and future, they could only observe without doing anything that might cause temporal splits. Because history couldn't be changed. Wanting to change history could only create a parallel timeline.
So time machines were also listed as forbidden by the gods. Once discovered, they'd face divine judgment—either erased or destroyed!
