After breakfast, Lin Chuan realized what it truly meant to be alive.
If he were still on planet V3114, although he would be fine with getting enough to eat, the food wouldn't be as good as it was here. The freshness and variety of the food alone were incomparable.
Reflecting on the past, Lin Chuan remembered how miserable his first period on planet V3114 was.
If not for the several months' worth of compressed food reserves on the spaceship, plus his knowledge as a transmigrator on procuring food in desperate situations, he would have died long ago.
He considered himself very lucky, as the civilization on that planet, although not space-faring, had developed to a level similar to Earth's, especially in terms of food storage.
For instance, their food preservation techniques ensured that some foods could last for decades without spoiling, which was remarkable.
Unfortunately, while their food preservation was impressive, other areas were severely lacking.
Lin Chuan later learned from surviving recordings and various data on the planet that V3114 was a planet plagued with frequent disasters, which is why the scientists there had focused solely on how to store more food.
Simply put, due to the planetary orbit, the planet experiences minor disasters every ten years and major disasters every century.
Over time, the natives realized that food was their most crucial survival resource.
Thus, they developed extremely advanced food storage methods and massive food reserves.
Even after twenty years, Lin Chuan had only consumed a tiny fraction of these food reserves, which had survived even a meteorite impact.
In summary, it was a very tragic civilization.
They thought securing their food supply would help them survive disaster after disaster, but they completely overlooked threats from outer space.
Without any other technological defenses, their biological strength was extremely weak.
A massive meteorite hundreds of kilometers wide struck the planet directly, overturning civilization.
Even those who hid underground left no survivors.
...
Emerging from his memories, Lin Chuan refocused his thoughts.
After a few exchanges with Bulma and Gohan, they headed together to a nearby open space in the backyard.
The vast courtyard, which also connected to the garden, was an excellent place for training.
Of course, Lin Chuan only intended to warm up; he wouldn't be reckless, as that would destroy everything beautiful here.
Bulma didn't stay long; after giving some instructions, she attended to other matters.
The spaceship needed research and repairs.
Bulma also needed to master the alien technology.
Furthermore, she was beginning to handle many of the affairs of the Capsule Corporation on her own.
She did her business, which was good for Lin Chuan as he needed some quiet time to consider his plans.
He had intended to finalize these plans last night but had fallen asleep instead.
Of course, Lin Chuan already had some preliminary ideas.
He was staying at Bulma's house and didn't need to worry about other trivial matters.
He had told Bulma about the spaceship and the construction of a new spaceship the day before.
She hadn't promised to succeed, but Lin Chuan knew she would manage it quickly.
He also mentioned the gravity training room during breakfast.
Bulma had never thought about or researched this area.
Now that it was brought up, she was interested. She didn't say she could make one, but Lin Chuan knew it was a piece of cake for her.
In the original story, although Dr. Brief first created a 100x gravity environment and combined it with a spaceship, Bulma was no less capable than Dr. Brief.
Even if there were any bottlenecks, Dr. Brief wouldn't just sit by and not help.
Simply put, Lin Chuan knew how to progress gradually.
After all, breakthroughs in scientific research and enhancing strength required time to mature.
...
In the courtyard.
With no one else around, it was just Lin Chuan and Gohan.
Knowing that Gohan hadn't even done basic training at this time, Lin Chuan couldn't start teaching him anything directly.
He let Gohan watch while he did some simple physical movements and warm-up exercises to familiarize himself fully with his current level of strength.
He merely did some basic punching, kicking, and other fundamental training exercises.
As for fighting techniques, he only demonstrated a little.
Even though Lin Chuan had explored and practiced many combat techniques on his own, he admitted he wasn't quite there yet; he was just average.
Especially since on planet V3114, although Lin Chuan always practiced, he had no real opponents, so his combat experience could have been better.
Lack of sufficient combat experience was a significant limitation to improving his martial skills.
This would be an area where Lin Chuan needed to focus on strengthening himself in the future, something the system could not provide.
Hovering in mid-air,
Lin Chuan exhaled slowly.
Lin Chuan had a clearer understanding after about twenty minutes of active movement.
His strength, enhanced by the system, had reached the current level of over 110,000 without feeling uncontrollable.
Instead, the increase in power felt like his own through training.
"There are no more worries for now, and I don't need to spend too much effort on training for control in the future," he muttered, continually planning his next steps.
If he couldn't control his power, he would have needed to spend much time on it.
However, proficiency was necessary; even with the system's enhancement, he needed to form muscle memory.
After pondering momentarily, Lin Chuan gently descended and landed firmly on the ground.
Before he could speak, Gohan, unable to wait any longer, approached with eyes full of eagerness.
"Uncle Lin Chuan, can you teach me how to fly?" Gohan's question caught Lin Chuan off guard.
This was so proactive; it was completely unexpected.
Especially since, in the original story at this time, Gohan was timid and reluctant to engage with new things.
His proactive request to learn to fly was still a breakthrough, although not about learning to fight or become stronger.
[Right! How could I have forgotten? In the original Majin Buu saga, Gohan teaches Videl to concentrate her ki to learn flying, and I can copy that.]
[Luckily, this kid wants to learn how to fly on his own.]
Lin Chuan temporarily resolved Gohan's issue with this flash of insight.
Just guiding his ki and learning to control it to master flying would be enough for him to practice for a long time.
During this period, he could also conduct his training while waiting for Bulma to complete the spaceship and gravity room construction.
Having made his decision, Lin Chuan smiled slightly.
"Your initiative to ask me is surprising! Gohan, I can sense tremendous potential inside you, but you can't harness it yet."
"Although you're only four, you must understand that we Saiyans are not like Earthlings!"
"For the next while, I'll guide you on training. If you want to learn how to fly, you must first learn to control your ki!"
