"Another new day, I wonder what Bardock and Gine talked about last night?"

Muttering to himself, Talot prepared some food to fill his stomach, continuing to think about the details.

Bardock had indeed thought things through thoroughly, but there were still certain risks.

Even if they managed to leave Planet Vegeta smoothly, Talot would still have to be extremely cautious in creating the illusion that they had died on the journey, cutting off any possibility of being monitored or detected.

"Those years of studying and researching various technological knowledge were not wasted.

"At the very least, I can now destroy the positioning and monitoring modules of the Battle Power Detector under my own operation, ensuring that we won't be monitored or tracked."

Although the Battle Power Detector and Spaceship differ greatly, Talot had already gained a good understanding of mid-sized Spaceships and had a complete blueprint.

In simpler terms, during the past few days, Talot had taken the time to locate and mark the positioning devices and monitoring modules. By removing or destroying them, he could ensure that the Spaceship's normal navigation wouldn't be affected, while also creating the data feedback that the Spaceship had exploded.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. After all, even though Aunt Gine and I have connections to Bardock, we shouldn't really be tracked. Even if King Vegeta is wary of Bardock, Raditz is already under his control."

Living in a suffocating atmosphere for so many years, always worrying about being affected by various dangers on the Planet Vegeta, where the strong prey on the weak, had made him overthink things from time to time.

If analyzed from another perspective, there were so many Saiyans leaving and returning every day. Two five-year-old kids and a lower-ranked logistics warrior, with a combined surface-level battle power of just over 1000, who would seriously pay attention?

It's worth noting that a capable adult lower-ranked warrior, if combat-oriented, would have at least several hundred to a thousand battle points.

Some of the more outstanding ones, with battle powers of one or two thousand, were not uncommon, just like the lower-ranked warriors in Bardock's team, each with extremely high combat power.

Speaking of this, it's worth mentioning that Raditz was called a waste and a wimp when he first appeared in the original story.

Recalling the original setting, Akira Toriyama's early plot descriptions of Raditz were really lackluster, placing him among the lowest-ranked warriors in terms of battle power.

Having come to Planet Vegeta, Talot understood that a battle power of 1500 was indeed only considered outstanding among lower-ranked warriors.

Actually, if it weren't for the more complete upper-ranked warrior settings provided in Akira Toriyama's later character books, who would have thought that Raditz was actually being wasted?

The idea that following Vegeta and Nappa, he couldn't experience real battles and thus couldn't improve himself.

Even when there were opportunities to fight, most of the time it was just strong warriors slaughtering the weak. If they encountered a high-battle power opponent, it wouldn't be Raditz's turn to act.

...

No longer dwelling on these imaginings, Talot composed his emotions, dressed properly, and walked out of the house.

All the preparations had been made in the past few days, and now Talot needed to go to the Spaceship docking area to check what was still missing.

At the same time, he needed to get more familiar with it.

After leaving the house, Talot saw Selari waiting for him outside.

Because they had been training together these days, she would come early every day to wait for them.

Even though the training had ended, she still had the habit of coming to find him.

Just then, Talot took the opportunity to tell her about their departure in two days.

Seleri was unusually excited about it.

The innocent girl was only thinking about finally being able to travel through space and see new worlds.

Talot didn't want to burden her with too much psychological pressure, so he didn't say too much.

The two of them went together to the docking area of the Spaceship, entered after identity verification, and began to inventory supplies while familiarizing themselves with the interior of the ship.

After a long time, a sudden shout came from outside the Spaceship. Bardock and Gine had arrived.

Bardock had helped Gine prepare and bring her luggage in advance, saving them the trouble of rushing on the day of departure.

Although Gine hadn't been on a mission for a long time, she wasn't unfamiliar with it. After all, she had once invaded other planets. However, as she grew older, her combat power decreased, and at Bardock's strong insistence, she stayed on Planet Vegeta to handle logistics.

Naturally, this was also due to her pregnancies, first with Raditz and then with Kakarot.

After a brief tour of the Spaceship, they all left, chatting and laughing.

It was only then that Talot realized that Bardock had already planned for Gine to leave Planet Vegeta with him when he bought the medium-sized Spaceship.

[No wonder it went so smoothly. You thought even more than I did. And I suspect you've been watching my recent actions, even though you haven't said anything.] Talot thought to himself.

Bardock was truly wise, and this intelligence only highlighted his exceptional nature.

No wonder he was considered the hero of an era.

In one parallel universe, he had even managed to travel back in time, using the explosion of Planet Vegeta to go back to Planet Plant, which had not yet been invaded and renamed by the Saiyans.

Not only did he complete the transformation into a Super Saiyan and create a legend, but he also eliminated one of Frieza's ancestors, the Space Pirate Zild.

Thinking about this, Talot couldn't help but shake his head.

If such a thing really happened, it might be impossible to summon him back even with the Dragon Balls?

Although time travel seemed unrealistic, as someone from another world, he had already been reborn into this world as a Saiyan. What else could be impossible?

Seeming to sense Talot's change, Bardock looked up.

Their eyes met, and Talot shivered involuntarily before regaining his composure.

"What's wrong, little Talot?" Bardock asked with a teasing tone, though he didn't know what Talot was thinking.

"Nothing, just suddenly feeling a lot of emotions. I wonder how the future will turn out?" Talot said, half-joking, half-serious.

His words made Gine feel a bit uneasy as well.

The three of them were lost in their own thoughts, but none of them could read each other's minds, only guess.

"Don't think too much. The future can only be truly known by experiencing it step by step," Bardock said.

After he spoke, the previously quiet atmosphere shifted again.

Talot nodded but didn't respond.

Gine could only choose to trust Bardock even more.

Seleri was still young, despite her maturity in some aspects, she couldn't read the subtleties in their expressions and words.
