Chapter 75: Conversation with Dr. Bellabe
Mu Chuan glanced at Dr. Bellabe.
It seemed that a lot had happened recently. Normally, a scientist like Dr. Bellabe would be more focused on technological research and less on other matters. Even if other scientists were involved, it wouldn't typically be a topic of concern unless something significant had caught her attention.
"Dr. Gero is undeniably talented, but he is quite ambitious and not easily satisfied," Mu Chuan said candidly, basing his evaluation on his memory of the original story and his interactions with Dr. Gero.
Dr. Bellabe silently nodded.
"Dr. Gero is indeed a genius, with many innovative ideas and valuable insights. However, his ambition might one day become a threat to you," Dr. Bellabe said seriously, with no hint of jest.
Mu Chuan met her gaze and then smiled.
Regardless of Dr. Gero's potential actions, Dr. Bellabe's attitude demonstrated that she could be trusted, at least not being a power-hungry individual.
"Why are you laughing? This is a serious matter," Dr. Bellabe asked, puzzled.
Mu Chuan shook his head. "It's not that I'm not taking it seriously. Your concerns show me that you are trustworthy."
"I'll be straightforward. I know Dr. Gero is an ambitious individual, but that's precisely why I need him. Ambition drives innovation and the development of more powerful androids."
"As long as my strength always surpasses his, he poses no threat to me. I firmly believe my progress is unparalleled."
At this moment, Mu Chuan exuded immense confidence.
In a short time, he had increased his combat power to over 10 billion. This was his confidence!
Moreover, with his memory of the original story, his rate of improvement was faster than most. His Saiyan bloodline granted him immense potential.
This was his foundation!
Dr. Bellabe was momentarily taken aback.
Although she was a rational person who didn't easily trust others, Mu Chuan's confident speech and demeanor seemed to have won her over.
After a brief silence, Dr. Bellabe said, "Suit yourself. After all, you are the boss!"
"I will assist you to the best of my abilities and keep an eye on Dr. Gero. Regardless of your stance, I will fulfill my duty."
"I won't let him act recklessly. If he threatens Earth, I will be the first to intervene, whether you approve or not."
Although Dr. Bellabe was amiable and primarily focused on supportive technologies, she was not weak.
The products she developed were revolutionary, and she had the capability to counter Dr. Gero.
This was why she could make such a statement.
Mu Chuan didn't argue, instead, he shared the progress on the androids from Dr. Gero's lab with Dr. Bellabe and handed over the androids he had obtained from Dr. Gero.
Afterwards, Mu Chuan left Dr. Bellabe's lab.
...
With two scientists working on different aspects of development, their base was incredibly solid. Their logistics and equipment were at the forefront of cosmic technology, primarily due to the influence of the Saiyans.
Popo and Kami had intervened multiple times in Earth's development.
This intervention significantly improved the skills of Earth's martial artists, doubling their strength from the original levels. Although they still lagged far behind cosmic beings, this was only the beginning. Especially notable martial artists seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment.
Of course, this wasn't solely due to Kami and Popo's intervention. There were also valuable elements obtained from cosmic beings. Without these, Kami and Popo alone wouldn't have been able to propel Earth into such a rapid development phase.
Their abilities were ultimately limited.
Mu Chuan did not plan to interfere with the changes on Earth. In his view, the stronger the martial artists on Earth became, the stronger Son Goku might become, potentially leading him down a different path. He was quite looking forward to this.
When Mu Chuan exited the laboratory, Axianna, Popo, and others were already waiting for him.
Axianna spoke first, "Boss, what level has your combat power reached now?"
Mu Chuan intended to brush off the question. While he wanted the Saiyans to understand the harsh realities of the universe, he didn't want to demoralize them too much. He wouldn't casually reveal his true combat strength unless necessary.
However, seeing Axianna's serious expression made him reconsider.
Looking solemnly at Axianna, he asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Axianna nodded. "You've always been the one to bear everything for us, whether facing Frieza or that previous monster. In all these battles, you took the lead."
"We should have been fighting side by side. But at some point, we found ourselves unable to assist you."
"We are Saiyans!"
"Even though you've taught us how to harness our bloodline power, our talents still hold us back from fully realizing it."
"This is our issue, but we want to understand the gap between us and you."
"How strong must we become to truly help you?"
Every Saiyan was proud at heart, even the lower-class warriors. However, despite their considerable experiences in a short time, their morale had been repeatedly tested. Their combat power had reached tens of millions, yet they found themselves hiding in the back during real battles, unable to assist. This was unacceptable to them!
Axianna, who had mastered the Psuedo Super Saiyan form, felt especially powerless during Mu Chuan's battle with Baby. She couldn't even get close, let alone help.
This was why she made the request immediately upon seeing Mu Chuan exit the lab. She wanted to confront the overwhelming power directly. Only by facing fear could they unleash their potential!
All the Saiyans nodded solemnly in agreement with Axianna.
Mu Chuan looked around at their serious faces and knew he couldn't brush them off. With a hint of helplessness, he said, "Since you want to experience my true power, I will let you face the might of a Super Saiyan!"
"This is the power of the Saiyans!"
