In West City's luxury residential district—
Inside Tights' home.
Tights was currently organizing materials for her next sci-fi adventure novel.
Suddenly—
Goku appeared instantly via Instant Transmission.
Tights jumped slightly in surprise before smiling brightly.
"Oh?"
"It's you, Goku."
"What brings you here all of a sudden?"
Goku explained:
"Big sis, I remember you mentioning Lord Zuno before."
"You said he's omniscient."
"There's something I need to ask him."
"Could you take me to meet him?"
"Meet Zuno, huh?"
Tights rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately closed all her documents.
"Alright then."
"If you're going, I'll come along too."
"Perfect timing, actually."
"I'm preparing to start a new novel, but I haven't been able to find inspiration."
"Locking myself indoors clearly isn't helping."
"So I might as well go on a trip with you."
"Maybe chatting with Zuno will give me some fresh ideas."
Goku's face brightened.
"Thanks, sis!"
Tights waved her hand dismissively.
"What are you thanking me for?"
"It's no big deal."
"Let's go."
She casually grabbed a small bag and headed straight for the door.
Goku looked stunned.
"Wait, sis…"
"We're leaving just like that?"
Tights stopped and spread her hands.
"Otherwise?"
"Aren't you going to prepare anything?"
Tights placed her hands on her hips and looked at him.
"What?"
"Are you planning to say goodbye to Bulma and the others first?"
"Pack spare clothes?"
"Bring snacks?"
"Pack food?"
Goku blinked.
"…Shouldn't we?"
Tights narrowed her eyes dramatically.
"Looks like you Earthlings have gotten way too comfortable."
"You've completely lost your sense of adventure."
"In my opinion…"
"Life is supposed to be a journey you can leave for at any moment."
"Not something you spend forever fussing over."
The moment she finished speaking—
She marched straight toward her spaceship.
Goku hurried after her.
Very quickly—
The two boarded Tights' spacecraft.
After only a short while, the ship had already entered outer space.
Once the autopilot route was set—
Tights immediately put on an eye mask and collapsed onto one of the reclining chairs.
"Goku…"
"I've been staying up all night writing manuscripts lately."
"My hair's practically falling out."
"So I'm catching up on sleep now."
"If anything happens, wake me."
"Got it."
After hearing Goku's response—
Tights stuffed earplugs into her ears.
Within less than a minute—
She was completely asleep.
"…Wow."
"Her sleep quality is incredible…"
Goku muttered quietly.
Seeing Tights sound asleep, Goku grew bored and turned toward the window to look at the scenery.
Unfortunately—
The universe outside was just endless black emptiness.
Even more boring.
Suddenly—
A system notification flashed through his mind.
[In your previous life, in order to protect Earth, you used Instant Transmission to bring the self-destructing Cell to King Kai's planet.
After dying in the explosion, you refused resurrection in order to avoid bringing more disasters to Earth.
As a result, Chi-Chi became a widow while pregnant with your second child and endured an extremely difficult life.
Your life has restarted.
In this life, you have already taken on more responsibilities and obligations that should have belonged to you.
But now, you understand something even more clearly.
You are not only Earth's hero—
You are also a husband, a father, and someone relied upon by family and friends.
You play many roles.
No matter what—
As long as you remain alive, your family has someone to rely on.
As long as you remain alive, your loved ones can feel at ease.
Your wives need your care.
Your children need your companionship.
Your friends also need you by their side.
Mission: Survive after Cell's defeat.
Reward: +10% Stamina, +10% Endurance (Recovery Speed), +10% Vitality.
PS: The stronger your endurance, the faster your stamina recovers, allowing for longer-lasting battles.]
Seeing the system mission, Goku looked puzzled.
"…Why is this mission appearing now?"
"Cell was dealt with ages ago…"
His eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
"Wait…"
"Could it be because I just defeated 16 earlier?"
"Maybe the previous mission slot finally cleared, so the system issued the next mission now?"
Before Goku could fully figure it out—
The system notification appeared again.
[Mission: Survive after Cell's defeat — Completed!
Rewards distributed:
+10% Stamina
+10% Endurance]
The increase was only ten percent—
But at that exact instant—
Goku felt power surging through his entire body.
His energy felt unbelievably abundant.
It was as though he had just enjoyed the best sleep of his life.
"Heh…"
"So it's retroactive rewards."
"Not bad at all."
"And honestly…"
"These rewards feel way stronger than those ten talent points."
"I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore."
Goku looked around.
Tights' spaceship didn't have a gravity chamber.
So he could only meditate for training.
Thus—
He sat cross-legged and quietly entered meditation.
In the blink of an eye—
Seven or eight hours passed.
Suddenly, the spacecraft alarm began ringing.
The ship was approaching its destination.
Goku slowly opened his eyes.
He could already sense countless energy signatures nearby.
Clearly—
A huge number of people had gathered to ask Lord Zuno questions.
Goku removed Tights' earplugs and whispered:
"Big sis, wake up."
"We're here."
Tights removed her eye mask and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Hm?"
"It feels like I only closed my eyes for a second."
"We're already here?"
Goku nodded.
"Yep."
"Seven hours passed."
"You were sleeping way too comfortably."
The spacecraft slowly landed before the grand palace of Zuno.
The moment Goku and Tights stepped out—
They discovered a massive queue already formed outside.
Visitors from countless planets stood waiting in line for a chance to ask Zuno questions.
Looking at the endless line, Goku frowned.
"With this many people…"
"How long are we supposed to wait?"
At that moment—
Tights suddenly produced a golden card and waved it in front of him.
Goku blinked curiously.
"What's that?"
"Don't tell me Zuno's place has VIP passes too?"
Tights laughed.
"Smart guess."
"It's not exactly VIP…"
"But the effect is basically the same."
"Zuno personally gave it to me."
"It just lets me skip the line."
Goku looked at her in surprise.
For a moment, he secretly wondered whether his sister had kissed Zuno countless times to obtain such treatment…
But—
Tights didn't seem like that kind of person.
She and Bulma were both daughters of genius scientists, yet neither of them inherited that overly social personality type.
Very quickly—
Under Tights' guidance, Goku skipped all the way to the front of the line.
The two attendants immediately bowed respectfully.
"Miss Tights."
"Please enter."
Goku looked astonished.
"Big sis…"
"How did you get privileges like this?"
Tights winked proudly.
"Well…"
"I am a bestselling author."
"Lord Zuno happens to be one of my loyal readers."
"What?!"
"Seriously?!"
Goku looked genuinely shocked.
Tights laughed proudly.
"Of course!"
"My novels are bestsellers across the entire universe."
"Zuno is one of my biggest fans."
"He once told me…"
"If I updated twenty thousand words daily, he'd grant me special privileges."
"So I stayed awake for days straight…"
"I practically lost half my hair…"
Goku immediately raised a thumbs-up.
"That's amazing."
The two entered the palace hall.
Zuno sat high above on a crystalline throne.
The instant he saw Tights—
His eyes lit up brightly.
"Ah!"
"Miss Tights!"
"You've finally come!"
"I've been waiting for your new novel!"
Tights smiled elegantly.
"Lord Zuno."
"We came because we need your help with something."
Zuno's gaze shifted toward Goku.
His smile diminished slightly.
"Oh?"
"And this is…"
"Son Goku."
"A warrior from Earth."
"I want to ask for the location of New Namek."
Zuno stroked his chin thoughtfully before revealing a meaningful smile.
"That can be arranged."
"Although line-skipping is permitted…"
"According to the rules, anyone asking a question must offer a kiss."
Goku immediately looked toward Tights.
"Big sis…"
"You don't have enough influence to waive that?"
"I'm a guy!"
"Kissing him sounds disgusting…"
Tights folded her arms and looked toward Zuno with raised brows.
"Lord Zuno."
"I never agreed to offering kisses."
Zuno smiled gently.
"Miss Tights is naturally an exception."
"Your wisdom and talent are already sufficient payment."
"But only for one question."
Tights nodded in satisfaction.
"Now that's more like it."
"Fine then."
"I won't ask my own question anymore."
"I'll just ask for New Namek's coordinates."
Zuno slowly opened his mouth.
"The coordinates of New Namek are…"
