Chapter 870

~14 min read 2,719 words

After an absence of over forty days, Broly returned to his own world, materializing directly in the vacuum of space; he subconsciously tried to breathe normally but inhaled nothing, which stunned him for a moment before he went back into the Crystal Palace Space to take a few breaths of air, then came out wearing an astronaut's helmet and began contacting the Nappa Star side.

"Kaguga, what happened? Why is Nappa Star somewhat far from the agreed-upon coordinates?"

Although Nappa Star is an existence in the universe that completely absorbs light sources and all kinds of radiation energy, making it almost impossible to see its whereabouts in space with the naked eye, Broly still managed to probe the direction of his home planet using Ki Sense, only to find its location was somewhat distant from the agreed coordinates, which he found a bit strange.

"Ah, Broly King, you finally have news!"

On Nappa Star, Kaguga was overjoyed upon receiving Broly's communication and hurriedly reported the reason why Nappa Star had not reached the estimated coordinates.

"Something unknown happened on Planet Gliese; a while ago they suddenly deployed forces near the planet's orbit and dispatched a large number of small spaceships, laying a large quantity of defensive Space Guilei in the surrounding star regions.

Our Nappa Star's navigation route would pass through part of the Guilei zone; although the outer defensive layer would not be breached by mere Guilei, we worried this might trigger some misunderstandings with Planet Gliese, leading to unnecessary conflict, so we did not approach————"

A planet capable of fielding space battleships that have not yet been retired from the Galactic Federation's active military roster, and moreover of forming a fleet, would even in the days before Planet Vegeta's destruction have ranked among the Saiyans as a target of extremely high conquest difficulty; unless a major client was willing to pay a sufficient price, not even Saiyans would take the initiative to provoke a planet possessing such armed force.

"Since I couldn't contact you, I had Nappa Star halt in a star region outside Planet Gliese's deployment range."

Paragus explained to his son who had flown back to Nappa Star, then asked: "By the way, you were gone this whole time — did you transmigrate to a new Isekai again?"

"No, I went to those worlds I've transmigrated to before."

Broly shook his head.

"Did you go to those worlds to fight others?"

"Mhm, it was battle."

Paragus said nothing further; adult warrior-type Saiyans are indeed more warlike — they are basically a bunch of guys who get restless if they don't fight.

"Right, Dad, I have a child now."

"Mhm.

""

Paragus first gave an acknowledging response.

"Ah?"

Then, he belatedly realized, eyes widening as he looked at his own son.

At this point he also reacted: the "battle" his son spoke of was probably not the same as the battle he had imagined.

"Good, good, good, worthy of being my son, to have a child this fast too."

Paragus laughed heartily; Planet Vegeta was long since destroyed, and now on Nappa Star the two of them, father and son, were the orthodox Saiyans — his son having a child meant the clan was expanding anew.

"Where's the child? Hurry and let this grandpa take a look!"

Paragus said at once.

"Uh, not born yet; currently still inside their mothers' bellies."

Broly explained.

"Ah, that was stupid of me; even if you have a child, it's impossible for it to be born that fast."

Paragus slapped the back of his head; the killing intent he once carried as a Mid-level Warrior among the Saiyans had long been worn away by the tedious life on Nappa Star, and now he gave off the air of a rural craftsman.

"Several of my grandchildren are about to be born; this won't do — I must quickly prepare some Infant Incubation Chambers.

Paragus paced a few steps in place, then looked at his son.

"Broly, since you're back, we can also make formal contact with Planet Gliese.

Of course, our current status is still that of undocumented interstellar entrants; given Planet Gliese's current state of martial law, they may be unwilling to accept outsiders like us entering their planet.

But we must obtain Incubation Chambers — this is for your children who are about to be born — so you must prepare to conquer Planet Gliese."

Paragus had already readied himself for war: to conquer a Life Planet with no low level of technological civilization, for the sake of those grandchildren about to be born in the Isekai.

"Uh, let's first go figure out that planet's situation before deciding."

Paragus nodded, and said to Kaguga: "Go prepare a Small Spaceship; we'll fly there in it."

"Yes."

A Small Spaceship departed Nappa Star, detoured around the Space Guilei zone, and headed toward Planet Gliese.

"This is the Gliese Star Third Fleet; who are you?"

The ship approached and was soon noticed by Planet Gliese's fleet; they sent a communication request, and once it was accepted they directly inquired about the origin of this small unfamiliar spaceship Broly was on.

"We belong to the Nappa Star Security Group Co., Ltd., coming from Leka Star, wishing to conduct some supply replenishment on Planet Gliese."

Paragus gave the reply; although he is a Saiyan, the Saiyans' reputation in the Galaxy is not very good.

Revealing it might get them greeted by warship cannon fire; by comparison, the title of a security company is more presentable.

"Please wait a moment————"

That side seemed to be conducting identity verification; after a while they gave a reply.

"Nappa Star Security Group Co., Ltd., registered on the Galactic Federation immigrant planet Leka Star at 2741 Universal Time, currently recorded in the Galactic Federation Information Database; Small Exploration Spaceship, serial code X2-179, property of Nappa Star Security Group Co., Ltd.; identity confirmed — now connecting you to Gliese Star A4 Space Station————"

"Ding, respected interstellar travelers, welcome to Planet Gliese; A4 Space Station guide Sami will serve you wholeheartedly.

Now, please, Captain of Exploration Ship X2-179, accept my guidance and enter the A4 Space Station's space management zone"

Planet Gliese did not turn them away; Paragus did not hesitate either, and piloted the ship to the corresponding area according to the guide's directions.

"Respected interstellar travelers, welcome to A4 Space Station; our station has different berthing services, and according to different fee standards we will provide corresponding services————"

The guide quickly listed the berthing fee standards for external spaceships; the lowest provides no services at all, just a space to dock the ship, while the highest can help maintain the docked spaceship.

Besides the basic service of ship maintenance, spaceports of different fee standards also correspond to different supply allocation quotas.

Simply put, various supplies on the surface are cheap, but if you want to transport surface supplies onto the ship, you have to pay.

Similar to an export tax, just phrased as a docking fee instead.

However, Broly has the Crystal Palace Space, so he can ignore this.

Paragus selected the lowest-tier ship berthing service; after parking the ship, he disembarked and entered the A4

Space Station in the flesh.

Planet Gliese's Space Station is even more high-tech feeling than Leka Star's Space Station; everywhere is dominated by silver metal.

A cylindrical machine moved over, stopped in front of them, and then a voice sounded.

"Respected travelers, I wonder if you need guide services?"

"We need them."

"Then, please pay fifty Galactic Federation Coins to purchase this service."

Broly and his own father looked at each other, then swiped payment at the payment code displayed by the cylindrical machine.

After the transaction was completed, the cylindrical machine opened the lid on top of its head and used a mechanical arm to take out a metal wristband from inside.

"Ding, A4 Space Station Gold Medal Tour Guide, Sami at your service."

After the metal wristband was activated, a familiar female voice sounded.

"Wait, aren't you a guide?"

Broly couldn't help but ask.

"Respected traveler, I am a guide, but I am also a tour guide. Please rest assured, I have many years of work experience, and the tour guide service will definitely satisfy you, respected guest."

On the projection screen popped out by the wristband, a pretty guide lady spoke very politely.

"Alright, I have some children about to be born, and I want to buy some excellent incubation chambers. I don't know where to buy them?"

"Infant incubation chambers, this kind of supply demand is indeed rare."

The projected tour guide lady's expression seemed somewhat surprised.

"You don't have them here?"

Paragus frowned and asked.

"For the space station, there definitely aren't any, but Gliese has them. It's just that the two of you need to go to the planet's surface."

"Then where is the nearest exit from us?"

Broly asked.

"Exit? Oh, guest, are you asking for the ticket window for round-trip ships between the surface and the space station? Please go one hundred meters after turning left upon leaving the docking port. There is a ticket window for round-trip ships there."

Broly and Paragus, following this tour guide lady's guidance, queued up at a ticket window with only a few sporadic people.

"Seriously, Gliese entered Level 1 alert, saying some cosmic beast was about to attack, but until now, not even a shadow of a cosmic beast has been seen."

"Who says it isn't. Because of this inexplicable alert, my ship has been stuck at the spaceport for all these days.

I brought up waiving the extra docking fees with the spaceport guys, but those guys said they need to appeal upward, and before the appeal comes through, I still have to pay the docking fees, otherwise they'll impound the ship. Really fed up."

The few unknown aliens queuing in front were complaining, which also let Broly and Paragus queuing behind understand the reason this planet made such a big commotion in space.

"Originally thought it was to prevent interstellar pirates, didn't expect it was to prevent a cosmic beast."

"Dad, are there really cosmic beasts?"

Broly asked somewhat curiously.

"I've heard of them, but never seen one."

Paragus shrugged.

"Speaking of which, Gliese doesn't seem to be stopping us from leaving, right? If we don't want to stay here, can't we just leave directly?"

"I want to leave too, but with the defensive posture Gliese has set up, I'm afraid if we leave, we might encounter an attack from that unknown cosmic beast.

Staying here just costs money, but with the space battleship fleet's protection, it's still relatively safe. But if we leave and unluckily run into a cosmic beast, we die, and no amount of money is any use then."

The few unknown aliens bought tickets and left. Soon Broly and Paragus arrived at the ticket window for round-trip ships between the surface and the space station.

After buying tickets, Broly curiously asked: "Dad, do you know the cosmic beast those people mentioned?"

"Don't know. Our Nappa Star ships didn't detect any cosmic beasts."

Paragus shook his head.

Broly was somewhat disappointed. He had just heard those unknown aliens' words and wanted to see what a cosmic beast was like.

Boarding the round-trip ship, Broly and his own dad were transported to the surface. The round-trip ship's landing speed wasn't even as fast as flying themselves, yet it still charged money.

"Miss Sami, if when we return, we fly up to the space station ourselves, we shouldn't have to pay, right?"

"That's true, you wouldn't have to pay. However, A4 Space Station is about 460 kilometers from the surface. Even if you two are remarkable Martial Artists, flying that high would be somewhat strenuous. The round-trip ship ticket is only 5 Galactic Federation Coins. I suggest you two buy tickets and take the ship up."

The tour guide lady on the other end of the wristband didn't question Broly's words in the slightest. Having done frontline work for many years, she could always encounter some alien guests who boasted without drafting. At such times, one only needed to maintain a polite smile and seriously give some advice that saved the guest's face.

Shit is hard to eat, money is hard to earn. Fifty Galactic Federation Coins converted into Gliese's local currency was still very substantial.

For the sake of the guide money, she was willing to flatter without a trace those interstellar travelers who only purchased the lowest-tier docking service items.

The round-trip ship landed quickly. Broly and Paragus, under the tour guide lady's guidance, went to a shop specializing in selling infant incubation chambers.

And after proposing to buy the top-tier incubation chambers, the price the incubation chamber shop boss quoted for the top-tier chambers made Paragus raise an eyebrow: "One million Galactic Federation Coins a unit. Isn't that a bit too expensive? Could it be you see we're from off-planet and want to take the opportunity to fleece us?"

"Wronged, guest. Top-tier incubation chambers are equipped with the best incubation fluid. This stuff is qualified enough to cultivate cosmic beasts.

And the purchase price, a single tank of incubation fluid alone costs over a hundred thousand. You buy one incubation chamber, I give six tanks of incubation fluid. Just the incubation chamber alone I'm giving you a very large discount————"

"What if we buy more?"

"Ten or more, I'll decide personally. Each incubation chamber gets an extra tank of incubation fluid."

"Then what if we want to buy a hundred?"

Although the currently pregnant wives only number 17, and the total number of wives doesn't exceed a hundred either, one still has to consider the future.

"What, a hundred units, a hundred million Galactic Federation Coins deal?"

The incubation chamber shop boss's mouth gaped open. Where the hell did this interstellar tycoon come from.

A slightly smaller second-hand cross-galaxy spaceship costs about this much.

"If you guys————"

The incubation chamber shop boss hadn't finished speaking when the tour guide lady interrupted him.

"Esteemed travelers, if the quantity of incubation chambers you need is relatively large, I suggest you can directly purchase an incubation chamber production line."

Hearing this, Broly and Paragus looked at each other and felt this suggestion was even better. Buying incubation chambers is not as good as producing incubation chambers themselves.

"The nursery chambers are easy to build, but the incubation fluid formula is classified————"

"As long as the esteemed customer has sufficient funds, I can help contact companies willing to sell the incubation fluid formula."

Nursery Chamber Shop Boss: I have an 8 AM class————

He really wanted to curse, but he also couldn't stop the customer who had suddenly arrived from leaving.

"Due to the alert of the universe monster's attack, some technology companies operating on Gliese are preparing to evacuate, among which two are involved in the nursery chamber business and intend to sell the nursery chamber production lines they possess————"

"What about the price?"

"One is quoted at 3 billion Galactic Federation Coins, but it only includes the nursery chamber production line; as for the incubation fluid formula, an additional 1.5 billion is needed to purchase it.

The other is quoted at 4 billion, including both the production line and the formula, but it has a requirement."

"What requirement?"

"The workers of the nursery chamber production line and the blenders of the incubation fluid must be included, packaged and taken away together."

"Then which nursery chamber is better?"

"The latter, that is the old brand of Gliese's nursery chamber industry; although not everyone can afford a nursery chamber, most Gliese People families who can afford one would choose this brand."

"But we won't stay on this planet forever; will those people be willing to leave with us?"

"If it were before, they definitely wouldn't be willing; as for now, the mysterious universe monster could attack at any time, so there should be quite a few people willing to follow you, esteemed interstellar traveler, away from this planet.

Of course, before that, we Gliese People will also conduct an investigation into your personal situation; we need to confirm that the customer can truly settle those people, to avoid the situation where, after leaving the home planet, our planet's people suffer abandonment and become space corpses."
