Actually, Aunt Gine, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if it breaks, it's fine. Once I finish all the modifications, I'll teach you and Selari a Method to Control Aura and Power. After learning it, not only will you become stronger, but you'll also be able to lock onto targets by sensing their aura, knowing how strong they are and whether they pose a threat to you.
Continuing to modify Selari's Battle Power Detector, Talot's words surprised Gine once again.
"Little Talot, where did you learn all these skills? Not only can you modify detectors, but you also have this ability. Even Bardock can't do that," Gine asked.
Talot nodded, seeing no need to hide or conceal anything now.
Talot also demonstrated his ability to control his aura.
"Actually, I've always been hiding my true strength. Now that I've revealed it all, Aunt Gine, you can use the detector to see my current battle power value."
Due to Talot's words and the sudden change in his aura, Gine was shocked once more before pressing the Battle Power Detector again.
'Beep beep beep... Beep beep beep...'
[Battle Power Index: 1200]
As the Battle Power Detector displayed Talot's battle power value, Gine was even more astonished, her mouth agape.
"1200 battle power... So this is the method you mentioned to control aura and power? Even the Battle Power Detector can be fooled? Does Bardock know about this?" Gine asked in quick succession.
After all, for a Saiyan who knows nothing about such abilities, this was simply incomprehensible.
Even if they could control the strength of their power, the Battle Power Detector could still detect their true values, whether they were Saiyans or other beings.
But now, Talot had completely hidden his presence.
"Uncle Bardock doesn't know. I should apologize to you for deceiving you in this aspect.
"Also, I've known for a long time that Frieza might target our Saiyan race, and even that King Vegeta is monitoring us. So I've been hiding my training and my strength all along."
At this point, Talot didn't dare to look at Gine, continuing to dismantle the Battle Power Detector while his heart was in turmoil.
This was his heart's burden, something he had kept hidden deep inside.
Now, taking this opportunity to speak out, he felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
Gine was taken aback upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected that Talot's thoughts were so mature, and that he had considered so much and knew so much.
Compared to her, who knew nothing, the five-year-old Talot seemed like an adult, bearing everything just like Bardock.
For a long time, Talot remained silent, and so did Gine.
The atmosphere became very quiet.
Just as Talot decided to say more, he suddenly felt the warmth of Gine's body.
He was hugged from behind by Gine.
This feeling was warm and familiar, yet different from the hugs of the past.
"Talot, Aunt Gine always thought you were still young. Now I realize how much you've been through all this time. I should have noticed earlier, so you wouldn't have to bear it alone. I think Bardock saw this and told me to follow your arrangements," Gine's gentle words calmed Talot's anxious heart.
Bardock had indeed noticed so many details and told Gine to listen to him.
"Indeed, when we said goodbye, Uncle Bardock's look at me was off. I should have realized it earlier."
Talot took a deep breath.
Jine held Talot for a long time. "Actually, you don't have to be so stressed. You can tell Aunt Gine anything. In my eyes, you are just like Raditz and Kakarot, my sons."
Talot's body trembled slightly at her heartfelt words.
In both his past and present life, Jine had truly given him enough motherly love.
"I know, so now I want to tell Aunt Gine something. After I finish modifying the Battle Power Detector, I plan to modify some of the equipment on the spaceship as well. Only then will we be truly safe." With his heart's knot untied, Talot felt no more worries.
Jine stayed by Talot's side, her face full of affection and a smile she couldn't hide.
It seemed that Talot's willingness to open up to her had brought their relationship a step closer.
Less than two hours later, Talot, with his skilled hands, had modified all of Selari's and the stored Battle Power Detectors.
After testing each one to ensure their detection functions were intact, Selari yawned as she walked out of the resting room, still rubbing her eyes.
"Brother Talot, Aunt Gine, you two haven't rested?"
The novelty of space travel had worn off, leaving only monotony and boredom.
Besides eating and sleeping, the only other activity was simple training in the spaceship's limited space.
Entertainment was almost non-existent.
No, that's not entirely true!
There were still some simple games Talot had created based on his past life's memories, like Card Games and Board Games.
"You've been getting lazier these past two days, Selari. You've just slept for almost twenty hours," Talot couldn't help but tease.
Hearing that she had slept for so long and being called lazy by Talot, Selari's face flushed red. "I, I just didn't rest well before, so I've been sleepy, hmph."
"Is that so?"
"Of course it is."
"Hehe~ Alright, alright, Selari is a girl, Talot, you should give her some leeway." Jine interjected, easing Selari's embarrassment.
Selari moved to the workbench, noticing a pile of parts and fragments on the table, as well as the Battle Power Detectors, she looked curious.
"Brother Talot, did you take apart the Battle Power Detectors?"
Talot nodded and explained the situation to Selari.
Of course, he didn't say too much, only mentioning the need to ensure their safety and avoid being monitored.
Talot didn't expect that his simple words would amplify Selari's fondness for him even more.
Jine, watching Selari unabashedly move closer to Talot, couldn't stop smiling.
She recalled her own past with Bardock, which was much like the current relationship between Selari and Talot.
Back then, she had put in a lot of effort to get closer to and interact with Bardock, eventually melting his heart, which had been closed off to love.
In Jine's eyes, Talot was very excellent and smart, but in matters of the heart, she felt he was even more clueless than Bardock.
"So, Brother Talot's real battle power is actually 1200 points, that's amazing." Selari's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Talot, however, wasn't particularly affected by such praise, as he knew his own limitations.
"Actually, I'm not that great. I just learned the Ki Cultivation Method and progressed relatively quickly." Talot attributed his success to his cultivation of Ki.
