He had taken roughly 2,500 beans. Jiang Chen then stopped. After storing the Senzu Beans, he bid farewell to Korin and took to the air again, heading toward the Lookout. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. Over 2,500 Senzu Beans. This was undoubtedly a huge number. With these, he no longer had to worry about future battles. In fact, if he were bold enough, he could even start using the Saiyan near-death power-up ability. Not to mention, it provided a relative guarantee for his future actions. "Boom!" His figure shot through the air, a smile on his face. Jiang Chen quickly broke through the clouds and arrived at the Lookout once more. Facing Jiang Chen's return, Kami Piccolo was much calmer this time. Over the past few months, he had observed Jiang Chen and his group closely. To his relief, Jiang Chen and the others had taken no major actions. Instead, they had settled down peacefully on Earth. Although Jiang Chen and his group hadn't left, which still filled him with worry, at least he wasn't as terrified as before. "Kami Sama!" Jiang Chen greeted with a smile as Kami Piccolo approached. --- "Kami Sama!" As Kami Piccolo approached, Jiang Chen greeted him with a warm smile on his face. "Welcome, esteemed guest! What brings you here today? Is there something I can help you with?" Kami Piccolo seemed a bit anxious as he spoke. His eyes drifted to the child standing before him, who is clearly no older than eight or nine years. "Kami Sama, I would like to borrow the Dragon Balls. Is that possible?" Jiang Chen noticed Kami Piccolo's unease and offered a reassuring smile while speaking of his goal. "Dragon Balls!" Kami Piccolo's eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively took a step back, his body trembling. "There's no need to be alarmed!" "Before coming to Earth, I visited Namek and used their Dragon Balls to receive a few wishes. Since you are the Guardian of Earth, I assume you are a member of the Dragon Clan from Namek. You must be capable of creating Dragon Balls." Seeing the tension in Kami Piccolo, Jiang Chen continued to explain with a friendly demeanor. "Namek?" "Forgive my boldness, but are you suggesting that Namek is my home planet?" Kami Piccolo was taken aback, his curiosity piqued as he hesitantly asked. "Yes, Kami Sama. You must have noticed that you are different from the people of Earth, right?" "If I'm not mistaken, you are indeed a Namekian. Namek is located in the western part of the North Area." Jiang Chen nodded and answered with a smile on his face. "Ah!" "So that's it!" Kami Piccolo sighed in relief at Jiang Chen's words. As the Guardian of Earth, he had sensed something unusual about himself, but having never encountered aliens, he was unsure of the details. Now, it seemed to be confirmed. "Namek!" Kami Piccolo whispered to himself, the name etching itself into his memory. Noticing the change in Kami Piccolo's expression, Jiang Chen chose to remain silent, patiently waiting for a response. After a moment, Kami Piccolo took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Chen, his expression serious. "Thank you, guest." "But if I may ask, what kind of wish do you need to fulfill?" His nervousness returned as he spoke. Given Jiang Chen's earlier comments, Kami Piccolo realized that the secret of the Dragon Balls could no longer be kept hidden. After some thought, he decided to ask the crucial question. Even though he knew he couldn't stop Jiang Chen, he had to fulfill his duty as the Guardian of Earth. At worst, he would perish, and the Dragon Balls would vanish with him. "That's right, Kami Sama. You must have heard my conversation with the old man, Son Gohan. Our home planet has faced some unexpected troubles, and I wish to use the Dragon Balls to revive some individuals. The Dragon Balls on Namek can't revive many at once, so I thought of using the ones here on Earth." Jiang Chen smiled as he explained his intentions clearly. "Reviving people?" "I understand." "Please hold on for a moment." Kami Piccolo sighed in relief. This was a wish he could accept. He quickly called for Popo, instructing him to start gathering the Dragon Balls from the lower world. For Kami Piccolo, collecting the Dragon Balls was a simple task, as he was their creator. As he watched Popo leave on his flying carpet, Kami Piccolo pondered for a moment before approaching Jiang Chen, hesitating before asking. "Guest from afar, could you tell me more about Namek?" Kami Piccolo was torn, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he finally spoke. "Namek!" "It's a planet located at the western edge of the North Area, with a diameter about ten times that of Earth. Its galaxy is unique, with three small stars orbiting the planet, ensuring it never experiences night." "Once, Namek was home to a highly advanced civilization, but after a great cataclysm, that ancient society vanished. Now, it consists of countless islands, isolated hills, and continents filled with peculiar puffball trees. The planet is rich and diverse, with Namekians known for their low birth rates and long lifespans, living in natural villages of about a hundred people. Their buildings are low, featuring round or bubble-shaped windows, resembling abalone or snail shells. Villages are governed by elders who rely on wisdom rather than divine power." Jiang Chen spoke slowly, painting a vivid picture of Namek for Kami Piccolo while Kami Piccolo listened intently. Gradually, an image of his homeland began to form in the mind of this elderly Kami. "It seems I must be a survivor of that great cataclysm on my home planet. I truly wish I could meet the Great Elder of Namek and learn from him." Kami Piccolo couldn't help but voice his feelings. Through Jiang Chen's storytelling, he felt a deep yearning for Namek. Yet, as the Guardian of Earth, he understood that leaving for an extended period would be challenging. Amidst his longing, a sense of loss crept into his heart. "Don't worry, there will be a chance!" Jiang Chen smiled reassuringly. "Are you serious?" Kami Piccolo's eyes brightened with hope. "Absolutely! If I'm correct, when you arrived on Earth, you must have come in a spaceship. If we can locate it, returning to Namek shouldn't be too difficult." Jiang Chen grinned as he answered. He remembered that Namek's technology had once been highly advanced. The journey from Earth to Namek would take no more than ten days. A round trip would only require about twenty days, which wouldn't be a significant burden even for the Guardian of Earth. "Thank you!" Kami Piccolo's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but express his gratitude. He hadn't anticipated such a delightful surprise. Traveling to Namek would only take a few days. "It's nothing. Even if I hadn't mentioned it, you would have figured it out eventually." Jiang Chen chuckled. Just as he was about to continue, he noticed something in the distance. "It seems it's done." He spoke again while rising to his feet. Kami Piccolo was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained his composure, looking over as well. Soon, a dark figure approached rapidly. It was Popo. A moment later, Popo's flying carpet landed on the Lookout with seven glowing Dragon Balls were displayed on it. (To Be Continued...)
