"But you don't need to be disheartened." Soya's tone softened a bit. "As long as you train diligently, your battle power in the future will only be a hundred, a thousand times stronger than it is now."
"Yes! Boss! I will definitely train hard from now on, I absolutely will not disappoint your expectations!" Nappa immediately raised his head, his gaze firm, his tone full of sincerity.
Vegeta still did not speak, only snorted coldly, but the flicker of light in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
In my world, I absolutely cannot let Kakarot surpass me!
Besides, my current battle power is already 30,000. In another 20 years, multiplying it several times should be an easy matter, right?
Kakarot definitely cannot catch up to him!
But for now, I should first surpass that guy Raditz.
"Boss, from now on, if you say east, I absolutely will not go west! If you tell me to hit someone, I will hit them!" Nappa was still expressing his loyalty, wishing he could pull out his heart to show Soya.
Soya nodded satisfactorily, pulled out another small bottle of Super Combat Divine Water from his storage bag, and casually tossed it to Nappa: "Since that's the case, consider this your reward."
Nappa caught it with quick reflexes. The cool touch in his hand made his heart rejoice.
Just now, Nappa had personally seen Raditz drink it and was eyeing it covetously!
It should be something good, right?
Nappa eagerly unscrewed the cap, about to pour it into his mouth, but then paused, asking casually: "By the way, boss, what is this?"
"Combat Divine Water." Soya replied nonchalantly.
Nappa's hand trembled violently, the bottle in his hand nearly falling to the ground, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
Combat Divine Water?
Wasn't that the most notorious divine water in history?
The problem is, we're not in combat right now, drinking ordinary Combat Divine Water is completely useless!
"Nappa, don't be nervous." Raditz walked over with a smile, patted his shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude. "This is Super Combat Divine Water, it's different from before. The boss specially rewarded you with it."
"Super... Combat Divine Water?" Nappa was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.
"You'll know if you try it. The effect will definitely surprise you." Raditz chuckled, but internally he muttered.
Finally, someone else is a guinea pig like me.
With one more person testing it, we can also find out the side effects of this divine water sooner.
Nappa took a deep breath, his eyes hardening. He was about to take a small sip to try it, but was stopped by Raditz: "Hey, this Super Combat Divine Water has to be downed in one go. It's different from the old Combat Divine Water, small sips won't work."
"Re... really?" Nappa hesitated for a moment. Looking at Raditz's certain expression, he finally hardened his heart, tilted his head back, and downed the divine water in the bottle in one gulp.
The moment the Combat Divine Water entered his stomach, Nappa only felt a surge of scorching energy slide down his throat, instantly spreading throughout his entire body.
Nappa instinctively erupted with his full power, a pale golden light enveloping his body, even causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
Soya immediately tightly locked onto Nappa's energy fluctuations, his eyebrows raising slightly.
"Boss! What's his battle power now?" Raditz was even more excited than Nappa. He moved close to Soya, craning his neck to ask, even holding his breath.
Nappa: "..."
Nappa's mouth twitched, his heart filled with speechlessness.
Why are you more anxious than I am?
So I'm just a dedicated guinea pig testing divine water for you, right?
"Negative emotional value from Nappa +666!"
"Increased 8 times, current battle power is." Soya stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Raditz leaned over, staring at the energy halo around Nappa's body that hadn't completely faded, and mused: "So this battle power increase is tied to one's own physique? Seems like it's the same maximum multiplier as before."
"Correct." Soya nodded, affirming his speculation.
Nappa hadn't yet recovered from the pleasant surprise of his battle power soaring, and hurriedly asked another question: "So the Super Combat Divine Water, just one small bottle can instantly raise battle power to the maximum multiplier?"
"That's pretty much the idea." Raditz patted his shoulder, smiling easily.
"What about the side effects? Will it be like the old Combat Divine Water?" This was Nappa's biggest concern. He quickly pressed for an answer, his eyes full of tension.
"Not clear yet, still being tested." Raditz grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Nappa: "..."
Nappa's mouth twitched.
So I really am a guinea pig!
"Negative emotional value from Nappa +666!"
"But don't you worry either." Raditz seemed to remember something and added, "It's been over six hours since I drank it, and I haven't felt any weakness at all."
"Really?" Nappa's eyes lit up. "The old Combat Divine Water's multiplier increase could only last for an hour at most. Could it last a day now?"
"Alright, we can study this slowly when we get back." Soya interrupted their conversation.
They had been out for quite a while. Soya needed to hurry back to Planet Vegeta to check the situation.
The next moment, Soya had already activated the control of the flying cube.
"Whoosh!"
The flying cube instantly disappeared from its spot. The flowing light within the space-time tunnel flew backward rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared steadily in the parallel world belonging to Soya.
As soon as they emerged from the space-time tunnel, Soya's system panel began to jump frantically.
A massive wave of negative emotional values flooded in like a scrolling screen.
From Frieza's, Cold's, Quitela's, and even from Kale and Tarola's...
Soya looked at the system panel.
Unconsciously, he had actually accumulated another 100 million negative emotional value.
Perfect timing for a draw, to see if any new items might come out.
Soya was in a great mood.
Recently, his enthusiasm for collecting negative emotional value had indeed decreased somewhat.
Soya delayed no further. He controlled the flying cube to speed toward the direction of Planet Vegeta.
"Whoosh——"
The flying cube's speed increased faster and faster. The outline of the galaxy where Planet Vegeta was located was already faintly visible.
Vegeta, however, grew more and more frustrated the more he looked, his hands clenched tightly.
Soya gave the Super Combat Divine Water to Raditz and Nappa, but didn't give him any!
Obviously, I am the one who needs to increase my battle power the most!
"Negative emotional value from Vegeta +888!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth. In the end, he couldn't hold back and spoke up stiffly: "Soya... that Super Combat Divine Water, I want to drink it too."
"Oh? Is that so?" Soya turned his head, looking at him with a half-smile, a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Vegeta immediately nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.
"That depends on your performance." Soya smiled, his tone carrying an undeniable meaning. "Good performance will naturally earn you a share."
Soya wouldn't easily give the divine water to Vegeta.
This guy still hasn't completely submitted!
I need to properly grind his temperament, make him understand who is truly in charge.
What Soya wants are absolutely obedient subordinates. Like Raditz, not only obedient but also able to provide positive emotional value, that is the most ideal.
Vegeta's heart sank. Unable to give up, he pressed on: "Then can you at least tell me, how did Kakarot increase his battle power?"
