Chapter 74

Piccolo emerged ten years later, and on Earth there were countless beings with combat power of tens of thousands, millions, even hundreds of millions.

After twenty years, combat power over a hundred million wasn't enough to stand out.

With Piccolo's combat power of just over two hundred, he wasn't much of a real threat.

"Don't kill Piccolo, because if he dies, the Guardian will die too, and once the Guardian dies, Earth's Dragon Balls become useless," Jiang Hao explained aloud.

The reason they didn't let Goku kill Piccolo directly, but instead had him seal Piccolo away,

was because if Piccolo died, the Guardian would die too, and Earth's Dragon Balls would lose their power.

Earth's Dragon Balls were created by the Guardian; if he died, the Dragon Balls would naturally lose their power.

Although the Dragon Balls' power source was the Dragon God Salama, the Guardian served as the link connecting the Dragon Balls to Salama's power.

Without that link, without Salama's power, the Dragon Balls would naturally become useless.

Therefore, Piccolo must not die.

On the other side, Master Roshi was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

Because he had no knowledge of this fact.

He had climbed Korin Tower and knew of the Guardian's existence, but he had never visited the Divine Palace or met the Guardian.

He had only stayed at Korin Tower.

"Why is that?"

Jiang Hao briefly explained to Master Roshi the relationship between the Guardian and Piccolo.

After hearing Jiang Hao's explanation, Master Roshi finally understood why Piccolo couldn't be killed directly.

But thinking of Goku and Krillin's combat power,

Master Roshi said nothing more.

"Alright, I know what to do now. But where is Piccolo? Do you know?"

"You don't need to ask me—Goku's current strength allows him to sense Piccolo's presence through ki; let him lead the way."

"I have matters I can't handle myself, so I'm leaving this to you."

"By the way, if Goku reseals Piccolo, you can tell Goku and Krillin to come to West City to train with me."

"Afterward, I'll tell them about a good place."

"Got it. I'll tell Goku and the others."

"Then goodbye."

"Alright."

He hung up the phone.

Jiang Hao did not continue his cultivation.

Instead, he began reviewing materials on capsule technology.

The capsule technology had only recently been obtained by Jiang Hao from Dr. Briefs.

The value of this technology, of course, needed no explanation.

Dr. Briefs had become the richest man in the Long Zhu World precisely because of capsule technology.

The fact that he so generously handed the technology over to Jiang Hao showed he already trusted him deeply.

It had been nearly eight months since Jiang Hao arrived in the Long Zhu World.

The time remaining for him to stay in the Long Zhu World was now just over four months.

Although capsule technology was practical, its storage space was still too small to meet Jiang Hao's needs.

So Jiang Hao planned to study capsule technology and upgrade it, greatly increasing its storage capacity.

That way, he could bring back more items from the Long Zhu World.

Moreover, capsules were ultimately inconvenient.

If possible, he intended to research space bracelets.

A bracelet worn on the wrist would prevent loss.

Also, the materials could be made from high-quality special alloys, ensuring they wouldn't be easily destroyed.

From the system, he learned that, aside from carrying a few small items, he could not transport large quantities of objects across worlds.

Transporting people across worlds was currently impossible.

When he asked the system, it replied that his current rank in Shijiezhi Sect was too low, so transporting people was not permitted.

To raise his rank, he needed to open at least six worlds.

Bulma, this helpful ally, could not be brought back to the Super God World.

But he certainly intended to bring some valuable items from the Long Zhu World with him.

The synthesis materials for Super Holy Water, Senzu Beans—these were things he would take.

Also, many of the scientific equipment he had acquired in this world were either absent in the Super God World or difficult for him to obtain there.

Also, certain special alloys unique to the Super God World.

Their hardness was astonishing.

All excellent materials—perfect for crafting battle armor, flyers, fighter jets, or weapons.
