To be frank, Talot's knowledge of the Dragon Ball era's plot was only through the brief descriptions in the original work, without precise certainty.

So, to know everything, he had to experience this period of history.

This was also why Talot was waiting for Bardock to return.

Understanding the situation of Bardock's current mission and the goal of the next mission was necessary to make a judgment.

One thing was certain: the Destruction God and the Angel had just left Planet Vegeta. Even if they went to Frieza next, the destruction of Planet Vegeta wouldn't happen in the short term.

Besides, before the destruction of Planet Vegeta, Frieza specifically recalled all the Saiyans who were on external conquests, which allowed him to wipe out the planet and the entire race in one fell swoop.

"I won't think about this for now. The more I think, the more complicated it gets. I should consider how to leave Planet Vegeta smoothly instead."

In truth, the plot of this world was far from as simple as Talot originally understood.

He had always been trying to determine an accurate timeline, essentially to gain all the advantages, given that he was a穿越者 (穿越者 means 

Besides, he had always been in the habit of exercising, training himself every day, so when it was time to sleep, he would usually fall asleep right away.

...

The next day at noon.

Due to a night of insomnia, Talot only managed to fall asleep when the sky was just beginning to lighten. He only woke up at this hour.

He got up with a slight feeling of fatigue, washed his face, and only then did he fully wake up.

"Indeed, one should not have too many worries. Even with great power and mental strength, one will eventually be affected by them."

He did some light stretching in the room to loosen his muscles.

Then, he released his Ki sense to get used to the improvements from yesterday's breakthrough.

Under his perception, a massive Ki presence suddenly caught his attention, making him pause.

"Bardock's Ki? He's back?"

He spoke in surprise.

Although he had already learned the specific time from Gine, it was still unexpected to suddenly sense Ki after waking up.

"Indeed, I am still not sensitive enough, too dull. Such a massive Ki presence appeared nearby, and I only noticed it now." With a sigh, Talot knew his strength was still too weak.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been living a life of luxury and ease.

...

At that moment, in Bardock's home.

Bardock, who had just returned, was already eating the food Gine had cooked and talking with her, catching up on the recent situation at home.

Afterward, under Gine's guidance, he entered the room and saw his young son, Kakarot.

"Kakarot... This kid is already six months old and still hasn't woken up?"

While muttering to himself, Bardock activated the Combat Power detector.

'Bleep bleep bleep bleep... Bleep bleep bleep bleep...'

[Combat Power: 2]

"It seems it's indeed only 2, and it hasn't changed since birth." There was a hint of disappointment in Bardock's voice.

His eldest son, Raditz, was an upper-class warrior, even if he barely crossed the qualifying line, he still had at least 200 Combat Power.

But this young son had only 2 Combat Power, lower than even the weakest auxiliary Saiyan.

Although, as a lower-class warrior, Bardock knew that a Saiyan's Combat Power at birth did not necessarily mean they would always be weak.

However, Kakarot had not shown any potential for the future.

"Bardock, even though Kakarot's Combat Power is indeed low, he is still our son. You can't hurt him." Gine, standing beside him, was afraid that Bardock might take drastic action.

She was a mother, and even if her son had low Combat Power, it didn't matter to her.

On the contrary, Kakarot's weakness only increased her protective instincts.

"Where are you going with that? I'm not the kind of person who would coldly kill my own child, Gine." Bardock looked at his wife and said.

At the same time, he inwardly sighed.

With the experiences from this mission, his worries had only grown heavier.

Kakarot being weak wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least, no one would pay attention to him. Even if they did, they would ignore him because of his 2 Combat Power.

In recent years, his pressure had been increasing. There were many voices within the clan.

To the point where his son Raditz had been placed by King Vegeta at the Prince's side, seemingly as an honor, but in reality, as a hostage.
