Chapter 11 : What seperates fiction from reality

  Work got really hectic, hence the deyed chapter. Im going to try to release another chapter tomorrow to make up for it. This is a bit of a filler chapter, more focused on world building. They won't be much of these but each one will have new information. Leave your thoughts in the comments

  ***

  After making the wish, Toro fell silent as he looked at Porunga, he wasn't sure if what he said counted as one or multiple wishes, if Porunga decided to only grant one, he'd get the location and when he got stronger he'd come back and ask him to repair it

  Porunga was silent for a period of time before his eyes fshed as he spoke " Understood, I will grant your final wish "

  ***

  After his wishes were granted, he thanked Guru and immediately left the pnet. Focusing on the information in his mind, he put in the location on the ship's computer and froze as he looked at the estimated time of arrival ' 10 years '

  " 10 fucking years? " excimed Toro, not expecting such a vast distance, his excmation gaining the attention of Gine and Fasha who came over and took a look, looking at the screen, they didn't seem surprised

  " what do you expect from a G css transport ship " asked Fasha with a scoff, hearing these new terms Toro turned his attention to Fasha who was beside him

  " G css ships? " asked Toro in confusion. Seeing his expression, Fasha opened her mouth to expin

  " yes G css ships. G css ships are broken in 5 Tiers, G1, G2, G3 etc, our saiyan pods are G2 technology, if you used one of those, you'd be able to cut that time in half " expined Fasha, seeing that his gaze was still inquiring she snorted and turned her head

  " I don't know any more than that, didn't you wish for all that knowledge on technology, I should be asking you "

  Toro turned his attention to Gine and saw that she was listening to their conversation, going by the expression on her face, she probably only knew a bit more than he did. Seeing this he turned his attention back to the system computer. Since they didn't have any knowledge, he'd have to teach himself from scratch

  Looking at the complicated diagram in front of him, his lip twitched

  ' how did I go from training to blow up pnets to learning about technology ' thought Toro ' note to self, make a wish for photographic memory '

  Looking at Toro who was studying so deeply, Fasha closed her eyes and started meditating, while Gine walked around the ship to find something to preoccupy herself

  After an unknown amount of time, Toro walked into the cargo bay where Fasha and Gine were eating and pced down a blueprint on the table, a somewhat proud smile adorning his face. Gine curiously took up the blue print and looked at it, her greasy fingers, smudging the paper

  " isn't this our ship? " asked Gine having recognised the design, which garnered Fasha's attention who then turned her attention back to the proud Toro

  " so you printed out the ships blueprint? Are we supposed to be impressed? " asked Fasha with a mocking expression

  Taking the blueprint from Gine, he pced it back on the table, smoothing it out as he opened his mouth to expin

  " I don't think any one is dumb enough to create something then leave a manual so other people can recreate it " said Toro meeting Fasha's gaze " so I had the ship run a self diagnostic, then I compiled all the components of each part. Then I put them together in the most logical way and came up with this blue print " expined Toro as he flipped over the blue print and gestured

  [ G1 Cargo Ship ]

  Hull Defence : 100 CP

  Weapons : None

  Tonnage : 1

  Flight Speed : 0.5 { FTL }

  " these are the original statistics of the ship we're on " expined Toro as he flipped back over the diagram gesturing once more " this is the upgraded blue print I created based on this one "

  [ G1 Cargo Ship ]

  Hull defence : 500

  Weapons : None

  Tonnage : 5

  Flight Speed : 1 { FTL }

  Fasha took the blueprint and looked at the comparison between the 2 statistics and was surprised. She was a lot more aware of the advantages better technology had in battles. I mean, look at the saiyan tuffle war, 1 low css saiyan is enough to wipe out their entire pnet. Yet they managed to fight saiyans for 10 years using thier technology.

  Most of their current technology was stolen from said tuffles. With this thought in mind, she raised her head and gnced at Toro who was chatting with Gine with a complicated expression. Sure, she knew this ability came from a wish but how many people could even consider making this wish?

  Unbeknownst to herself, her admiration for Bardock was lessening to by the day

  ***

  Toro looked at the market in front of him in awe. This was a traders pnet, any and everyone came here, whether gactic patrol or pirates. Based on the information he overheard, this pnet was backed by king cold which would expin why it could prosper with so many pirates around

  Fasha imputted this pnets location after he asked her where he could purchase other blueprint, spare parts, food and fuel. He followed behind her as she led him to a ship dealer, he looked around to see if he could recognise any of these aliens who were vending

  After walking for a while, they came face to face with a rge white building with a round roof. Fasha led them towards the door and took out a white badge, after inspecting it, the guards stepped aside and allowed them inside.

  After stepping into the room, Toro found that it was a retively open space, filled with different types of space ships, he even saw the same ship they arrived here on. Walking over, he found that there was a price tag on the sign in front of the ship ' 100 bronze coins '

  Seeing this new term, he pulled Fasha's arm, ignoring her change in expression as he pulled her to his level, whispering in her ear

  " what's a bronze coin " asked Toro

  Fasha gave him a strange look before she reached into the bag on her waist and took out a bronze coin with a diameter of 2 inches and threw it towards Toro who caught it and started inspecting it, Gine peaked at it curiously as well having never seen one

  " why do you look like you're seeing this for the first time " Toro asked Gine curiously, he was one thing but she had also gone on missions, why did she seem so much less knowledgeable than Fasha

  " whenever I went on mission, I took on a more auxiliary role, I was never a main combatant. Only main combatants were paid in coins. I was either paid in fuel ore or in food " expined Gine as she took the coin

  Seeing the question on Toro's face, Fasha answered before he even asked, finding herself speechless about how inexperienced he was

  " Fuel cores. They're a special ore that's mined from bck iron asteroids, when refined you get bronze fuel, what's left over is ste, which are then combined into bronze coins. The quality of the ore determines the quality of the fuel, which means the quality of coins made. To my knowledge, there's bronze fuel, silver fuel, gold fuel, which means bronze coins, silver coins, gold coins "

  As she expined, she led them deeper within the store

  " from what I've heard, bronze fuel is used to power G and F css ships, silver fuel is used for E and D css ships, as for gold fuel? No idea, the highest rating ship I've heard about is D css, those are the ships used by King cold and his legion. They say that it takes the ste from 10 fuel cores to make 1 bronze coin, I've heard it's because refining technology is currently inadequate "

  When she mentioned this, she gnced at Toro out of the corner of her eye remembering his earlier actions. Hearing her words, Toro fell silent, he was truly speechless, if we're talking about dragons timeline, he can say he's an expert, but he was shown that that was about it. He was truly clueless about such seemingly basic information

  Fuel cores? Bronze coins? Ship cssifications? He knew nothing before today

  I mean when you think about it, it makes sense. This isn't the dragonball anime where no one pays much attention to minor plot holes, people watch dragonball for the fights, the transformations, the ki beam cshes. Not for world lore. This is a real world, something he'd have to come to terms with

  He thoughts were interupted by the sound of knocking, he raised his head and found that Fasha was knocking on the door of an office. After knocking, she turned and looked at Gine and Toro

  " don't be surprised ter. This is a trading partner that King Vegeta had found "

  The moment her words fell, the door was open and a white haired man walked out of the room wearing a bck combat suit, he gnced at Toro and the others before he snorted coldly and left. Toro noticed that he was limping slightly, but what caught his attention was the the red skin and white hair, he looked like Jeice, he wondered if they were the same race

  His thoughts were interupted by the sound a zipper being zipped, as a short figured walked out of the room and stood in front of them, after seeing him, Toro frowned

  " a tuffle? " excimed Gine as she looked the white haired tuffle up and down, a vigint expression appearing on her face. Toro also gnced towards Fasha inquiringly

  " good afternoon, Lord Valin, King Vegeta sends his regards " said Fasha ignoring Toro and Gine

  Lord Valin nodded to her but didn't respond futher, seemingly more occupied with fixing his pants, Toro had his eyes on Fasha and noticed the fsh of disgust when he looked at the so called lord Valin

  " does Vegeta have any more ships to sell? " asked Valin after fixing himself, seemingly not going to invite them inside his office

  " no, we're- " Fasha's words were interupted by Valin who waved his hand impatiently as he started to turn around

  " then why are you here? Don't waste my time. Don't forget to tell Vegeta that he owes me 5 saiyan boys " after speaking he started to close the door, only to be stopped by Fasha, her face tinged with anger

  Valin raised his head and looked at Fasha with disdain

  " what? are you going to do something? Not to mention the fact that I'm supported by King Cold, your so called king Vegeta wouldn't allow you to do anything either "

  Fasha ignored his words as she turned to Toro, finding that he had taken several steps back and was looking at Valin with utter disgust, seeing his face made her anger lessen as she walked towards him and took away the blue print he had and threw it in Valin's face

  Valin pulled the blueprint off of his face and started cursing when he suddenly froze as he caught what was written. Ignoring Toro and the others, he started examining the blueprint, his expression changing, his eyes growing wide when he saw the estimated statistics

  " you....where did you get this from? " asked Valin excitedly as he looked at Fasha, her previous actions erased from his mind

  Fasha ignored his question and held out 10 fingers " 10 silver coins and it's yours "

  Hearing her words, hesitation appeared on his face as he looked at the blueprint, then at Fasha, then back down towards the blue print, this went on for a while until he once again raised his head, his eyes cold as a smile appeared on his face

  " how about you give me this blueprint and I let you leave this pnet alive? " asked Valin. Hearing his words, Fasha's face turned ugly as she looked at Valin, turning to look at Toro, her expression hesistant and somewhat guilty

  Seeing this Toro suddenly stepped forward, drawing Valins attention, who licked his lips upon seeing Toro as he spoke excitedly " leave the boy and you can go"

  Toro ignored his words as he continued to step forward, his aura rising with each step, by the time he was standing in front of Valin, the surrounding walls were cracking and colpsing, all the blood drained from Valin's face as he looked at Toro who was the same height as himself

  " I never understood how people could make threats without the ability to protect themselves. ' I'm gonna go home and get my gun and come back to shoot you ' Like what makes you think you can make it home? " Toro started ranting as he looked at Valin, who stood in confusion not understanding his words

  " I get it, you're depending on King Cold, he's your backer....but he's not here. You'd be dead long before anyone notices. So you have 2 options, 1 buy the blueprint for 20 silver coins, because you threatened Gine and Fasha or die where you stand and I help myself to your money and leave this pnet before anyone notices you're dead. Large universe, small chance of King cold finding us " As Toro spoke he reached out and patted Valin on his shoulder ' lightly '

  Valin groaned as he felt his shoulder bone crack from the pat, cold sweat appearing on his forehead

  " honestly, there's no need for this. You're a business man, this is profitable business. This blueprint is going to make you way more than 20 measly silver coins. So we can let bygones be bygones and let you get richer " said Toro with a smile " not to mention that they may or may not be more improved blue prints like this one in the near future, what do you think? "

  ***

  Toro looked at the silver coin in his hand for a bit before he tossed them to Fasha who caught them and looked at him in surprise

  " you're giving them to me? "

  " you're the most knowledgeable person in our group, so you handling the money is the decision that makes the most sense. Not to mention I wouldn't have gotten the silver without you " expined Toro with a group

  Hearing his word, Fasha took out a coin and showed him, " one of these is worth 1000 bronze coins " expined Fasha " you're giving me 20 thousand bronze coins? Why? " asked Fasha, her face tinged with confusion

  " because I trust you? " replied Toro, not understanding her confusion " on another note, what's the deal with the diddler back there? "

  " what's a diddler? " asked Gine

  " a man who likes other men, who aren't willing to be with him, so he uses force " expined Toro before he looked at Fasha, who was looking at him strangely " so? "

  " from what I heard from Bardock, he's the older brother of the current Tuffle king, he lost his crown to his younger brother so he helps saiyans to spite tuffles. He purchases the ships we bring to him, and pays up with food, better technology etc. As you can see, he doesn't respect us saiyans becuase he someone got the attention of King Cold " expined Fasha as they walked

  " which as you can see, made him very arrogant. His demands went from extra money, to the current 3 saiyan boys for every deal. King Vegeta agreed and send him orphaned low css saiyans, since he likes men, no male saiyans like to meet him, which means any deals are completed by female saiyans. Hence how I know him "

  " speaking of, shouldn't we have killed him? What if he contacts King Cold? " asked Gine

  " beneath all his fws, he's a business man, based on the scale of the ship dealership, he's a pretty good business man which is probably what caught King Colds, attention in first pce. Business men like him, put profit above everything else, judging by the fact that we're not being targeted right now goes to show that he truly accepted my deal, at least for now " expined Toro

  " which means, we're safe until we no longer hold any purpose. So far the mean time, we'll continue training while turning these blue prints into acutal ships " said Toro as he gnced at the several blueprints in his hand
