Granolah took one look and said, "Maybe I can fix it."
"Oh, please," Gohan said, handing the scouter to him.
"Okay." Granolah took the scouter and then ordered his glasses-shaped robot, Oatmeel, to repair it.
In just a few moments, Oatmeel successfully repaired the old scouter.
Gohan took the scouter, put it on his ear, and then did some troubleshooting.
But he didn't dare to use it to detect his own combat power or Granolah's combat power.
In his memory, he remembered that this old scouter would overload and explode when it detected a combat power value in the tens of thousands.
"Didi, didi~"
He tried pressing a few buttons and actually brought up some recorded audio from that time.
One of them was from when Bardock fought Gas.
At that time, Bardock was in a desperate situation, but then the protagonist's ancestor's Ki broke out, breaking through the limit on the spot, and defeating Gas.
His words at that time sounded quite passionate.
"What were you thinking about when you were fighting?"
"In the face of a life-and-death battle, I won't think about anything except winning."
"The reason I fight is just to see if I want to beat the opponent, that's all!"
"Whenever we Saiyans face a desperate situation, we break through our limits, continue to evolve, and become stronger as we fight."
There was also the recording of when he made a wish to the Planet Cereal Dragon.
"If you can make the wish, make a wish for me so that my sons can grow up strong..."
"..."
Gohan was silent for a moment.
Bardock had such a strong and admirable will.
Monaito, on the side, looked at Gohan and murmured to himself: "I didn't expect Bardock's will to be passed down like this..."
"Thank you," Gohan said, putting away the scouter.
After collecting his thoughts, he asked Monaito: "Old man, were you the one who made the Dragon Balls here?"
Monaito shook his head and said: "No, the great elder who made the Dragon Balls died more than fifty years ago..."
Gohan asked: "But as far as I know, on Namek, or on our planet, as long as the life of the Dragon Ball maker ends, the Dragon Balls will petrify and lose their function. Why are the Dragon Balls on Planet Cereal different?"
Monaito was a little surprised.
He was surprised that Gohan knew about Namek, and he was also surprised that there were so many sets of Dragon Balls in the universe, with rules different from those on Planet Cereal.
Monaito explained: "On Planet Cereal, as long as the Namekians are not completely exterminated, the Dragon Balls will always exist..."
The implication was that as long as he did not die, these Dragon Balls would continue to exist.
It seemed that the Dragon Balls of Planet Cereal were indeed something else, and they did not petrify after being used, nor was there any cooling time.
They could be used immediately after making a wish and then collecting them again. It was like a bug in the system.
Gohan continued: "Well, old man, I think your vitality is weak, like a flame that is about to go out. Why don't you make a wish to the Dragon Balls to extend your lifespan?"
At this suggestion, Granolah, standing nearby, seemed excited, and his breathing became unsteady.
But Monaito sighed.
"Heh~ I know my own body well. I don't have much time left. What's more, we Namekians are strictly prohibited from using the Dragon Balls for selfish desires, so I won't make that wish. Besides, how can the Dragon Balls be collected so easily?"
Gohan felt a little speechless. Monaito was truly pedantic.
He was almost at death's door, yet he said he couldn't make a wish for selfish reasons.
Gohan didn't quite understand this behavior.
He looked back at Granolah and asked, "What about you? Don't you want to extend the old man's life?"
Granolah's face turned red as he replied, "I do."
Gohan looked at him strangely: "Then why haven't you made the wish?"
To be honest, Granolah's motivation for collecting the Dragon Balls was to make a wish to extend Monaito's lifespan.
After all, Monaito could be considered his only relative, and he didn't want to watch him die of old age.
He had also told Monaito about this.
Monaito's answer to him was that they couldn't make a wish to the Dragon Balls for selfish reasons.
But Granolah had decided to violate Monaito's instructions and collect the Dragon Balls to extend Monaito's life.
But now another problem had arisen.
He had swallowed the One-Star Dragon Ball, and now, even though Gohan had given him the Two-Star Dragon Ball, he couldn't summon the dragon to make a wish.
Granolah's face turned red as he looked a little troubled. After a few seconds, he said to Gohan: "Please meet me outside."
Gohan glanced at him doubtfully, wondering why Granolah wanted to speak outside, but he nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them stepped outside the house.
Once they were sure that Monaito couldn't hear their conversation, Granolah spoke up, "What's your name? Can I trust you?"
Granolah trusted Monaito deeply.
Therefore, he didn't have any doubts about the story Monaito had just told.
After learning that Gohan was actually the grandson of his savior, Granolah felt no hatred towards Gohan, only gratitude.
But the matter now was very critical, so he asked this question.
Gohan replied: "My name is Gohan. You should make your own judgment if you want to trust me."
"Gohan? That doesn't sound like a Saiyan name," Granolah said in surprise.
Gohan explained: "I am a mixed-race Saiyan and grew up on Earth, so it's not surprising that I have an Earthling name."
Granolah suddenly understood, "Oh, okay."
Then he said: "Now that things have come to this point, I can only believe you."
"What do you want?" Gohan asked, confused.
Granolah told him the truth: "To be honest, the dragon ball star on my forehead is not just a pattern. It's because I ate a Dragon Ball, and it turned into this..."
"Uh..." Gohan was stunned, remembering a familiar scene.
Granolah continued: "So now, even after you found the Two-Star Dragon Ball for me, I can't make a wish. I can only summon the dragon by taking out the One-Star Dragon Ball from my body."
"Then take it out."
"Uh, dig it out directly?" Granolah looked a little distressed.
Recalling that he was resurrected by swallowing the Dragon Ball, he continued: "If I dig out the Dragon Ball, I might die, so I called you out because I want to teach you how to summon the dragon. If I really die because of this, then please summon the dragon to make a wish and help Grandpa Monaito regain his youth. Please."
Gohan didn't expect that Granolah had this plan.
He actually wanted to trade his own life for Monaito's?
Gohan couldn't help but look at Granolah with admiration.
This was truly a sincere and filial person.
