Piccolo Appears with a Time Machine Part 3

The sound of a fight awakened Lin Chuan.

Bulma also showed a look of displeasure.

So early, causing trouble.

Taking in Raditz and Vegeta for training, these two guys fought multiple times every day.

If they fought, they always mocked each other for a long time… The words they spoke almost spread throughout the entire estate.

Unable to bear it anymore, Lin Chuan finally stepped in, defeating both of them in seconds, leaving them to question their existence.

Vegeta and Raditz had no choice but to submit to Lin Chuan now.

The guy has strong fists; what can you do?

You can't beat him, so you have to listen obediently.

After disciplining Vegeta and Raditz, Lin Chuan also began his training.

He arrived once again at King Kai's planet...

Lin Chuan gained good insights from yesterday's discussions, and his strength improved.

This made Lin Chuan realize that King Kai had something valuable to offer, so he hoped to learn more from him.

The critical point was that combining two training methods made them more complete, helping Lin Chuan refine his life energy more quickly and making it easier for him to temper his body and soul.

And so, this cycle repeated.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During the day on Earth, Lin Chuan trained with King Kai on King Kai's planet during this half month.

At night, he would return home to be with Bulma.

Over time, his intimacy with Bulma grew higher and higher.

Bulma even talked about marriage.

Every woman has this dream; who wouldn't want to wear a wedding dress and marry the man they love?

In the original story, Bulma and Vegeta were together but never held a wedding.

Lin Chuan did not refuse.

As a transmigrator, he was also a very traditional person. Since they were together, marriage was essential for a man and a woman.

Of course, it wouldn't happen immediately.

Bulma needed time to prepare and arrange things.

It had to look decent, even if it didn't need to be grand and eye-catching.

Naturally, what Bulma considered "decent," Lin Chuan had no idea.

...

On this day.

Lin Chuan did not go to King Kai's planet.

For no other reason than that Piccolo had come looking for him, so he had to pause.

This could be considered Piccolo's first visit to him after returning from Namek a month ago.

"You're saying that the reason you didn't come to find me for a month was because you were investigating information about the androids?" Lin Chuan looked at Piccolo with a surprised gaze.

Lin Chuan hadn't expected Piccolo to be so severe and persistent.

Even though he hadn't thought about focusing on this matter now, Piccolo had kept it in mind, as if he was afraid of a future disaster.

While others were still enjoying the peace, Piccolo took the lead, preparing to find the androids mentioned in Lin Xue's message.

To nip the crisis in the bud!

That's Piccolo.

"Although I didn't gather much information, I did get some useful intel. The androids that your future daughter Lin Xue mentioned should be connected to the old Red Ribbon Army."

"Of course, that's not the main reason I came to find you. During my investigation, I secretly visited various places on Earth and discovered something strange!"

"On Earth, in three major continents—East, West, and South—there are many remote towns where all people and animals vanished overnight! Apart from the clothes left behind, there were no other traces."

"Then, I tracked the energy and finally found something interesting!"

As Piccolo spoke, he took out a universal capsule from his pocket.

Then, he pressed it and threw it, revealing a time machine in front of Lin Chuan.

Wow!

Although Piccolo had already explained most of it, Lin Chuan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw the time machine that Piccolo had found, the one Cell had used to travel here.

"Wow, that's impressive!" he thought.

It seemed that Piccolo could alter the course of the story without Lin Chuan's intervention.

However, this realization made Lin Chuan take things more seriously, not because of Cell, but because of the time machine itself.

Given that he had already significantly changed the world, the existence of a time machine should have been impossible.

Lin Chuan had previously speculated whether Trunks might still exist and if he would come from the future to this past world.

After all, the arrival of Lin Xue had already turned the original storyline upside down.

Now, the appearance of the time machine meant that anything was possible in the future.

Time might be in chaos, with strange intersections between different parallel worlds.

"Do you know what this is?" Piccolo asked as he saw Lin Chuan closely examining the strange machine.

He rarely saw Lin Chuan this seriously. His current demeanor was reminiscent of when Lin Chuan first saw his future daughter.

This machine indeed had a problem.

Hearing Piccolo's question, Lin Chuan slowly shook his head.

Even if he knew, he had to pretend not to.

Otherwise, how would he explain his knowledge?

"Maybe Bulma will know what this is? What I'm concerned about is the shell left inside the machine! If I'm not mistaken, it should be some kind of biological eggshell," Lin Chuan diverted the topic.

Piccolo nodded, "That's what I think too. I don't believe this is a spaceship. It's too small for that. Besides, the machine bears the Capsule Corporation logo, indicating it's a product from Earth."

"Are you suggesting this is from the future?" Lin Chuan pretended to ask.

"It's not a suggestion. I've already investigated it. This machine wasn't made by the Capsule Corporation! At least, it's not available on the market. And see the moss and usage marks on it? This machine is at least several years old," Piccolo's intelligence was truly impressive.

He had come up with complete logical reasoning on his own.

Of course, this might also be because Lin Xue had traveled from the future to this era, giving Piccolo great inspiration.

"That makes sense. Let's have Bulma take a look first," Lin Chuan nodded without saying much more.

He stored the machine in his storage space and then went with Piccolo to the lab to find Bulma.

When Bulma saw the damaged time machine, she was in disbelief at first glance.

Not only her, but Dr. Brief also had a look of astonishment on his face.

The reason was simple: the Capsule Corporation had never invented such a product.

It was even more impossible, especially since it was made many years ago.

After thoroughly examining and researching, Bulma and Dr. Brief were greatly shocked.

They concluded two things.

First, the particular machine was created by the Capsule Corporation rather than Dr. Brief or Bulma.

Second, the machine was incredibly sophisticated. Using decryption programs, code numbers, and various equipment tests, they discovered it wasn't a product of this era but of the future!

The Capsule Corporation, in the future, created the machine that traveled to this time.

The atmosphere became extremely strange.

Such an item appearing in this era suggested something significant had happened in the future.

Bulma immediately thought of Lin Xue.

Lin Chuan knew what was going on but couldn't reveal it.

Moreover, he needed more clarification.

"Since it's confirmed that this machine is from the future, then it's certain that whatever came with it is a creature from the future."

"And why would a future creature come to this time?" Piccolo pondered differently from others.

Even though he hadn't yet fused with Kami, he intended to protect Earth.

The Great Demon King no longer existed.

"I could take some samples for genetic comparison to see what kind of creature it is."

Here's the translation to English with the character name, skill name, or location name in Dragon Ball One Power Level Per Second:

---

"But it will take some time! As long as it's a creature from Earth, I have it in reserve here."

Bulma said.

"Thank you for your efforts." Piccolo nodded as if entrusting a critical task.

Although he roughly guessed that it wouldn't be any known creature.

After all, the monsters that emerged here were related to people and animals disappearing into thin air.

Just this point alone was enough to be terrifying.

If he didn't investigate thoroughly, he wouldn't be able to sleep or eat peacefully.

"Piccolo, you don't need to worry so much. Since things are like this, everything needs to be investigated! With my abilities, I will use my Ki sensing to cover the Earth and keep a close watch at all times."

"If a place suddenly has a lot of Ki disappearing, that means the target is there." Lin Chuan said.

Give Cells a chance to grow.

Lin Chuan thought it was unnecessary.

It's not that he didn't want to create a rival for himself, but even if Cell evolved into Perfect Cell in a few years, so what?

Lin Chuan was confident he could reach a power level of 10 billion within the next year!

So, rather than being troubled by a small cell, it would be better to deal with it quickly.

You should focus on something other than the present in the long-term vision.

Even though the Cell saga is four years in the future...

"Alright! With you by my side, I'm at ease." Piccolo's words made Lin Chuan smile wryly.

He understood one of the reasons Piccolo found him was to have him take action and solve this hidden trouble.

After all, Piccolo had heard about the future from Lin Xue.

In the future, the person who looked exactly like him was the true major enemy.

...

At this moment.

In a corner of the Earth.

A green-skinned monster exuding a nauseating aura was hiding in the mountains.

His biological instincts told him that he had to hide for a while.

He was none other than the future Cell, who had just broken out of his shell not long ago.

Right now, he is still in his first form of growth.

He had come to this era from the future to absorb the Androids 17 and 18 from the past to complete his ultimate evolution.

His original plan was perfect: He would devour the humans of the past world to quickly increase his strength and then find Dr. Gero of this era to directly deliver Androids 17 and 18 to him.

However, to his surprise, after devouring only a dozen small towns, he was detected by Piccolo of this time.

Although the Piccolo of this era was far less powerful than his future self, his current strength had regressed to just the essential capabilities.

Only by continuously devouring life forms could he quickly become more muscular.

But he couldn't expose himself.

From what he understood about this era, all the Z Fighters were developing, and their strength might rapidly increase, just like Piccolo, who had locked onto him.

If he showed himself quickly, he would be annihilated.

"Damn it! Damn you, Piccolo! How did you discover my existence?!"

"Don't give me the chance! Once I become stronger, the first one I'll kill is you!"

"By then, all of you will be my nourishment!"

...

Kneeling for votes, kneeling for rewards.
