He's not my boyfriend, why do you care so much?
Chapter 46 He's not my boyfriend, why do you care so much?
Descending from the sky, Lin Chuan landed outside the research institute and carefully examined the twenty-meter-tall metal frame.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be set up for the construction of spaceships, right?
Otherwise, Lin Chuan really couldn't imagine what kind of behemoth would need such a large metal frame for support.
Bulma is determined to build a massive spaceship, if not a large one.
For the monotony of space travel, the larger the spaceship, the more one can relax by moving between regions, and the more things one can do.
Unlike small spaceships, which can only stay in a fixed place and can hardly even stretch their bodies.
Like the single-person spaceships of Frieza's army, they can only sit in their cabins and hibernate to pass the long periods of time.
Lin Chuan was very much looking forward to seeing what the spaceship would look like once it was fully built.
……
Turning around, Lin Chuan entered the research institute.
Having been there several times before, Lin Chuan was familiar with the place, and the guarding robot did not stop him after confirming his identity.
Enter the interior.
It is an incredibly vast interior space.
At a glance, countless machines are in operation, which is particularly awe-inspiring.
It's like a high-tech factory, with many machines being operated with the assistance of artificial intelligence robots.
Looking towards a corner of the research institute, Lin Chuan saw Bulma working diligently.
She was operating a computer, with Brif assisting her, holding a tablet and seemingly checking data.
As Bulma input information into the computer, the large, square metal block at the front emitted a series of booming sounds.
Countless circuits, combined with information transmission and sufficient energy delivery, completely activated this enormous cube of unknown origin.
She strolled over to Bulma and Brief.
Lin Chuan did not interrupt them, but instead used his knowledge to guess what they were doing.
Without a doubt, the huge metal cube in front of them is the result of Bulma and Brief's research.
Their need for his assistance is probably inextricably linked to this.
Otherwise, Lin Chuan couldn't think of anything else, nor did he see anything else novel here.
Could this be...?
With a thought, I looked closely and saw that there was a large metal door open to the outside of the large metal block. The interior space was empty, and I could see what it looked like inside.
Gravity Training Room!
There is no other possibility besides this explanation.
Otherwise, what's the point of building such a metal room?
"Huh? Why didn't you say anything when you arrived?" Having completed the last important step, Bulma wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned her attention to Lin Chuan, standing up and saying something.
It wasn't that she was slow-witted, but rather that she was completely focused on her research and hadn't expected Lin Chuan to arrive so quickly, nor was she distracted.
Brief relaxed as well, putting down his tablet and lighting a cigarette. "Luckily, the last step didn't fail, otherwise you would have made a wasted trip. However, we'll have to test it yourself to determine if it's successful."
After saying that, Brief took a deep drag, relaxing his tense nerves.
Those of us who are engaged in scientific research need to rely on certain things to keep our spirits up at crucial moments.
Cigarettes are one of the most effective, as they can not only refresh the mind but also help people relax.
In the original work, Bulma also developed a smoking addiction due to her scientific research.
She tried to quit smoking twice, once when she became pregnant with Trunks, but she didn't quit completely that time. It wasn't until she became pregnant with Bra that she finally quit completely.
Of course, whether it was because of Weiss's help that they succeeded at that time is unknown.
In the next era, given Bulma's relationship with the angel Whis, quitting smoking would be a trivial matter for an almost omnipotent angel.
Lin Chuan followed Bulma's movements and was slightly taken aback when he saw her pick up the pack of cigarettes on the table. He hadn't expected that Bulma would be a cigarette addict at this point.
Looking at the ashtray on the table, overflowing with cigarette butts, Lin Chuan realized that Bulma's smoking habit was quite strong at this point.
I wouldn't say I hate it, but this thing is definitely not a good thing for Bulma.
While smoking can have some effect in refreshing and relaxing the mind and body, the harm is greater if the addiction is too strong.
Lin Chuan instinctively snatched the pack of cigarettes, then crumpled it into a ball, which drew a glare from Bulma.
I finally finished the last step and was just about to have a smoke to calm my nerves when this happened.
"A beautiful woman like you smoking like a chain smoker doesn't suit you at all."
"I should try to avoid this stuff in the future. There are many ways to stay alert and relaxed, but smoking is the worst."
"Someone as intelligent as you should understand this principle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan threw the crumpled cigarette into the trash can.
Hearing these words and seeing this action, Bulma almost fainted: "You're not my boyfriend, why are you making such a fuss?"
The expression on his face practically screamed: "None of your business!"
Just as Bulma was about to explode, Brief stepped in and said something that put an end to her anger.
The gist is that, as his daughter, Bulma is top-notch in both intellect and appearance.
But at this age, instead of learning good things, they learn bad things, and their bad habits are piling up.
Finally, he uttered a truly hurtful remark.
It's roughly saying that Bulma has wasted her youth on Yamcha all these years, achieving little and trying to drown her sorrows by quitting smoking and drinking, only to find that her addiction has only gotten worse.
In the past, Brief would have turned a blind eye to Bulma and ignored her.
After all, his daughter is grown up and doesn't need him to worry about her too much.
Lin Chuan's arrival has brought about many changes, prompting Brief to decide to help her daughter make some changes as well.
If Yamcha is gone, then it's gone!
The past will always be past, and a new future will always come.
Lin Chuan is clearly more outstanding.
He also felt that his daughter must have some feelings for Lin Chuan, otherwise why would she let him stay at her house, since they see each other all the time?
The key point is that my daughter agreed to help repair and build the spaceship, and incidentally, she also took on the task of building the gravity training room...
Even though he knew his daughter aspired to achieve greater success in scientific research, it was clear that she wanted to help Lin Chuan.
……
Bulma had no idea that her father had completely misunderstood her.
Although she was very satisfied with Lin Chuan's appearance and physique, and Lin Chuan's strength was also incredibly powerful, she was not the kind of woman who would easily change her mind.
Especially considering how hastily her previous relationship ended, she and Yamcha hadn't fully discussed things.
No matter how much she liked Lin Chuan, she wouldn't take the initiative to approach him.
