After Bulma parked the large jet at Kame House, Lin Chuan also took the opportunity to exit the plane.
Unlike Bulma, it was Lin Chuan's first time in Kame House, which inevitably stirred up many memories for him.
These memories were, of course, from his previous life.
To use a phrase from the internet of his previous life, Kame House was where the main storyline of Dragon Ball began.
If he had just traveled to this place, Lin Chuan would indeed have been excited because being here when weak meant he had a chance to become stronger.
But, coming here now, things felt different.
The only constant was his recognition of Kame House as a secluded paradise, isolated from the world.
Lin Chuan also desired a peaceful and comfortable life, free from worldly disturbances, especially after enduring many years of hardship.
But in a world where the strong prey on the weak, and as a Saiyan with an infinite power-enhancement system activated, such a life was impossible for him.
Wandering alone in Kame House, he savored the beautiful feelings it brought.
After all, where else like this could be found on the apocalyptic planet he remembered?
It was quite some time before Lin Chuan returned to his senses, returning to the beach in front of the main house.
By then, Bulma had already explained everything and taught Krillin how to use the power level detector.
"This thing, doesn't it bother them, wearing it before their eyes? It obstructs the view," Krillin remarked, somewhat grumbling as he fiddled with the device under Bulma's guidance.
The detector responded immediately.
Initially, it detected Popo's power level at 1030, followed by his master, Master Roshi, at 139.
Krillin was excited to learn that his power level was over 200, surpassing his master, which gave him a great sense of achievement in this era.
Indeed, Master Roshi's status was too revered.
"Now that you've got the hang of it, next is to learn the basic operations using brainwaves... Of course, to locate high-power individuals, you can use a long press or control it with voice commands..." Bulma quickly mastered and even customized the detector.
"Got it, let me give it a try..." Krillin said, and the next moment, he began to press and hold the detector button, activating the function to search for solid power levels.
'Beep, beep, beep, beep~~~~!!!'
The detector continuously beeped.
Within seconds, it detected a power level of about 250 to the southwest, about three thousand kilometers away, and another power of 150 nearby.
"A power level of 250, and another at 150... If I'm correct, that must be Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu. " Krillin immediately thought of Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu; no one on Earth could have these values.
As for Yamcha, the likelihood was almost zero.
Yamcha's strength had been inferior to his for years, and according to Bulma, Yamcha had been indulging in a frivolous lifestyle these past years.
He had been continuously training, so it was unlikely for Yamcha to surpass his power level 206.
"Since we now know their exact location, let's hurry. Lord Kami is waiting for us back at the Lookout," Popo said, urging, unwilling to waste more time.
As a divine attendant, he couldn't stay away from the Lookout for too long.
Now that they have the power level detector, finding Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha should be straightforward.
Krillin hesitated momentarily, worried about Lin Chuan and Bulma, but after receiving a nod from Master Roshi, he didn't dwell further and stepped onto Popo's flying carpet.
The two left Kame House.
Throughout, Lin Chuan did not speak a word.
After their departure, Lin Chuan approached Bulma for a brief conversation and casually greeted Master Roshi.
The martial arts grandmaster truly deserved Lin Chuan's respect, for his performance in the upcoming Tournament of Power would be nothing short of spectacular.
...
In the blink of an eye, five hours passed.
After seeing off Krillin and Popo, Lin Chuan and Bulma, with the help of the Dragon Radar, began their search for the Dragon Balls.
In this seemingly long yet brief time, they had collected five Dragon Balls, including the Four-Star Dragon Ball initially taken from Son Gohan's hat, now totaling six in their possession.
Only one last Dragon Ball needed to be included to summon the Dragon and make their wishes.
The location of this last Dragon Ball, according to the Dragon Radar, was in the coldest place on Earth: the Far North!
The Far North! Where temperatures remained below minus thirty degrees Celsius year-round.
To prepare for the journey there, Bulma had several sets of cold-proof suits specially prepared to cope with harsh conditions.
However, Lin Chuan declined the cold-proof suit prepared by Bulma for him, as such severe climates were nothing to him.
He had lived on a doomsday planet where the ecological and climatic changes were much more severe than the low temperatures of the Far North.
Lin Chuan had experienced temperatures as low as minus one hundred degrees...
Following the Dragon Radar northwards, Lin Chuan maintained his body temperature using his energy and created a protective circle to ensure Bulma in his arms didn't suffer too much.
Before long, a strange ice mountain nearly a thousand meters high came into their sight.
"That's the place. The Dragon Radar says the last Dragon Ball is inside this ice mountain."
"To get the Dragon Ball, it seems we'll need to break through this ice mountain," Bulma confirmed the location and said to Lin Chuan.
"I know, no problem!"
Looking at the towering ice mountain before him, Lin Chuan hesitated momentarily and quickly conjured a ping-pong ball-sized golden energy sphere in his hand.
The energy ball left his palm and smashed into the ice mountain.
'BOOM!!!!!!!!!!'
The explosion was shocking, flames shooting into the sky and instantly stirring up a snowstorm.
