After hearing Chi-Chi's response, John Doe continued, "Then, Chi-Chi, let me ask you another question. In your family, Goku's family, and even among your relatives and friends, are there more martial artists or scholars?"
Chi-Chi didn't need to think and directly replied, "More martial artists."
John Doe nodded and explained, "Yes, Chi-Chi, look, whether it's your family or Goku's family, or even people like me, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and others, we are all from martial arts backgrounds. And to be honest, we are some of the most powerful martial artists on Earth."
"Except for Bulma, who is a genius scientist, but that's because her father and grandfather are also scientists, and it's a family talent."
Chi-Chi seemed to somewhat understand John Doe's words, so she hesitantly asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
John Doe said, "Chi-Chi, don't be impatient. Let me explain it to you, and you'll understand. In short, don't you just want Gohan to have a good future?"
Chi-Chi nodded. Indeed, she had a stubborn belief in her heart that only scholars had status and could earn money to support the family in this society, which was why she didn't want Gohan to learn martial arts and forced him to study academics instead.
However, later when she learned that the martial arts tournament offered a large prize, she immediately agreed and even told Gohan that he must place in the tournament.
John Doe continued, "A person's future achievements depend on two aspects: environmental influence and personal talent."
"There's no need to talk about Gohan's environmental influence. Everyone around him is a martial artist, so they can't provide him with a very good academic environment."
"If you insist on Gohan studying academics, you'll need to hire many famous tutors to guide him, and that requires money. Chi-Chi, are you prepared for that?"
Chi-Chi hesitated, "This...?" She wasn't thinking that far ahead; she was just subconsciously stubborn in her belief that Gohan should study academics.
John Doe continued, "Now, let's talk about personal talent. Goku's martial arts talent is exceptional, and even in your family, you come from a martial arts lineage. You yourself are a practitioner of the Turtle School style. With the combination of both, do you think Gohan has higher talent for martial arts or academics?"
"But how can martial arts provide an income and social status in the future?" Chi-Chi asked in return.
John Doe replied, "How can martial arts not have social status? Don't look at us; we don't have much fame because we don't care about it. Look at those martial arts stars outside; they are all earning a lot and have a large fan base."
"With your and Goku's looks, Gohan is bound to be a handsome guy, much more handsome than those so-called stars in the entertainment industry."
"Plus, with Gohan's martial arts talent and all of us as his free teachers, he will be standing on our shoulders. His future martial arts achievements will be beyond all of us."
"So, in the future, Gohan will undoubtedly have both status and high income. Tell me, which scholar's income can compare to that of an entertainment star?!" John Doe continued his analysis.
Chi-Chi looked at Gohan playing with Bulma on the ground, then thought about her current family environment and said, "I'll discuss it with Goku."
Although Chi-Chi didn't immediately agree, John Doe knew that she had already agreed in her heart; she was just saving face and didn't admit it right away.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal and the day was already late, John Doe and Bulma decided to take their leave.
Using Instant Transmission to return to the West Capital with Bulma, of course, Bulma couldn't help but vomit again. She said, "Even if you kill me, I'll never use Instant Transmission again. It's too uncomfortable."
So, John Doe didn't go to Goku's house to train with him every day. Although Chi-Chi didn't say it explicitly, she did agree to let Gohan watch from the sidelines and let Goku teach Gohan the basics of martial arts.
Originally, when Chi-Chi saw that the balance on the bank card was five hundred million, she had desperately wanted to return the card to John Doe and Bulma.
However, John Doe said that he was a big eater and often came to train with Goku, eating and drinking at their house. He asked Chi-Chi to keep the bank card, and he wouldn't charge them extra for meals.
At first, Chi-Chi was still unwilling to accept it, but after calculating John Doe's food expenses at their house, she silently put the card away and didn't mention returning it again.
Time passed slowly, and a year went by. This was the day everyone had agreed to gather at Kame House. John Doe woke up, tidied himself up, and went to Bulma's house.
John Doe asked, "Bulma, do you need me to take you there using Instant Transmission?"
Bulma quickly waved her hands, indicating that she didn't need it. She said, "You should go ahead. I'll fly there myself."
"OK, then I'll go. Be careful," John Doe nodded and then used Instant Transmission to appear at Kame House.
Soon after John Doe arrived, Goku also brought Gohan using Instant Transmission to Kame House.
Before long, Tien Shinhan, Chaozu, and Yamcha also arrived one by one, but they seemed to have flown there instead of using Instant Transmission.
Yamcha laughed at himself and said, "Maybe we'll never be able to use Instant Transmission in this lifetime. It requires an incredibly high level of talent."
Then, Bulma also arrived, flying her plane to Kame House. The small Kame House instantly became lively, especially when everyone saw little Gohan; they were all extremely happy.
At this time, Bulma looked around but didn't see Launch and asked, "Where's Launch? I don't see her."
Upon hearing Bulma's question, everyone, including Goku, looked at Tien Shinhan.
Tien Shinhan's face turned red, and he quickly said, "Why are you all looking at me? Although Launch was indeed following me, after I clearly expressed that I didn't like her, she left, so I don't know where she is now."
Tien Shinhan's words made everyone feel sorry. Previously, everyone had high hopes for the couple, Tien Shinhan and Launch, but unfortunately, it was a case of unrequited love.
Although everyone thought this way, they didn't want to say it openly, as it would hurt their feelings. So, everyone started preparing lunch together, ready for a grand feast.
At this moment, a sudden surge of energy in the distance caught everyone's attention.
It was known that Kame House currently hosted the most powerful people on Earth. Since they were all already there, who else would be flying towards Kame House?
Krillin spoke up, "Do you think this energy surge could be from Piccolo?"
Whether it was Piccolo or not, they would find out soon enough. So, everyone went outside Kame House and looked towards the sky where the energy was coming from.
