After searching and collecting android 9's body, Krillin began collecting all of the paradise herb, Krillin began stuffing bundle after bundle into his storage space until he cleared out the entire forest.
This took an hour after Krillin asked for Goku's help, but by the end of it he had a large pile of herbs the size of a shed!
Krillin was about to throw the last piece into his storage and stopped, holding onto the leaf he used his other knowledge tickets.
'System tell me everything you know about the Paradise herb, use my ticket'
[Paradise Herb: A magical plant that stops the consumer from aging, eating one cup of this plant prevents a month of aging. This herb originates from the demon world but can be planted anywhere where negative energy is found in abundance.
This herb can be distilled into a potent liquid that can prevent years of aging, the requirements for the distillery is Divine water, Paradise Herbs, high heat, mixing vessel, distiller, collecting dish, ashes of a powerful creatures, and the drop of blood from an immortal being. You need to blend the 10 cups of herbs into a fine paste and mix the divine wat....]
Krillins eyes nearly pooped out of his head reading that the herb can be distilled!
'System what is considered the ashes of a powerful creature for the recipe!?'
[Any creature with a powerlevel above 100 is considered a powerful creature, however the stronger the creature the more potent affect of the liquid. The same applies for the other ingredients, the better and high quality they are the stronger the affects of the end liquid]
Looking through his storage Krillin realized he nearly had everything needed to create the liquid except for the blood of an immortal, which would be an easy get from Korin!
'Time to get to the bottom of this worlds mystery! System use a knowledge ticket tell me everything about Dr. Gero'
[Due to unknown means, the entity you label "Dr. Gero" is impossible for system to track. It's highly likely even the items labeled "Dragon Balls" would find it impossible to locate this entity] Looking at the failed request Krillin message, Krillin was utterly shocked.
He wasnt too surprised that his system couldn't locate Dr. Gero, as the Kaio-ken technique was beyond the free ticket, but the rest of the message sent a chill through him!
'My system is saying even the Dragon balls couldn't find him, just what the hell is going on with Dr. Gero! Could some other fan have been reincarnated into him just like how I reincarnated into Krillin!' The more he thought of it, the less likely he found it. Unlike krillin who was just a fighter, Dr. Gero was a genius engineer after all
If a random person reincarnated into Dr. Gero, a Genius engineer, then the only thing that would happened is that he'd become dumber! Theres also the fact that Dr Gero was clearing trying to kill Goku, why would a reincarnated person try to kill Goku who saved the planet and universe multiple times.
Krillin spent time thinking about this but his mind only became more and more messy, the only thing he knew for sure was that sitting around and thinking about it wouldn't give him answers.
'Dr Gero aside, im gonna have to use a knowledge ticket on the dragon ball. I can't use Baba or she'll tell Roshi, and I can't have Goku find out I'm making the wish. '
Goku desperately wanted to collect the dragon balls to revive some man he'd just met who was killed by mercenary Tao. While noble, this is a complete waste of a valuable wish that could be used to save the planet!
If Goku found out Krillin used the wish to not revive that man, he'd definitely develop a negative opinion on him which Krillin didn't want.
'System show me the location of the last dragon ball, use my ticket'
[Ticket has been used, knowledge has been sent]
Suddenly an internal compass appeared inside Krillins mind that guided him to the last dragon ball.
Remembering that he still felt exactly where his Bansho Fan was even after getting it, Krillin looked over his shoulder and made sure Goku wasn't looking before taking out a dragon ball only for his compass switched to the one in his hand.
'I guess I'm underestimating the free tickets, even after I collect the last dragon ball and summon shenron, I'll still have the internal compass that'll lead me to them in the future!' Krillin gained an internal dragon radar that bypassed any tricks used to conceal them!
"Goku... I'm going to gonna go train... This attack made me realized that I am far too weak as I currently am. If it weren't for learning illusions and knew this forest existed, we'd both be killed which is unacceptable!" Krillin clenched his fist, while he was being a bit theatrical he meant every word he was saying.
"I understand Krillin, where are you going to train?" Goku knew Krillin had surpassed him, he wanted to join him on his training.
"I am going to Kami's lookout, it is the place where the God of earth resides. It's directly above Korins tower."
Summoning the flying nimbus, it took a minute before a dark cloud whizzed out of the sky and down with Krillin. By now Yamcha and Bulma had already gotten off of it to get Roshi.
"After picking Yamcha and Bulma up, defeat the fortune tellers fighters and revive bora, I'll join you at Kami's look out!" Goku had lost a lot of his enthusiasm for fighting the Fortune tellers fighters, the 'battle' with android 9 left a sour taste in his mouth.
Goku knew they stood absolutely zero percent chance of beating him, but to use a cheap trick like luring him to a magical forest rubbed him the wrong way. Getting on his Golden flying nimbus, Goku flew off back towards Roshi's home.
Krillin stood there for just a moment, watching until Goku flew out of view before he hopped onto the cloud and zoomed off in the opposite direction, he had to quickly get the last dragon ball before Goku could reach Baba!
***
At this time Pilaf and his cronies were driving on a highway.
Pilaf sat in the back seat, next to a large box, while Mai sat in the passenger seat and the dogman Shu who was driving.
"Fortunately, I used this special box to hold the Dragon Ball this time, it'll block out all those uhhh... waves! All those dragon Ball waves! I am so smart!" Pilaf crossed his arms and sat smuggly despite his ignorance
"King Pilaf is smart and brave, and his wisdom and strategy are unparalleled." Mai and Shu said in unison.
Suddenly Shu, who was speeding, slammed on the brakes causing Pilaf to slam his face straight into the back of Shu's chair. Rubbing his nose with tears in his eyes, Emperor Pilaf was about to cus and scream at Shu when he looked out the window and saw a flying boy right in front of them!
"Who are you huh? Do you want to die? We are the Pilaf Gang!" Shu shouted.
"I'll be taking that dragon ball off of you, comply peacefully and I won't have to get rough with you." Krillin said as he hopped off the nimbus and onto the highway.
Knowing that these guys werethe Pilaf gang, Krillin had no problem being violent.
Without even answering Krillin, Mai immediately pulled out a bazooka and fired upon Krillin. The missile exploded and sent asphalt was sent flying, Krillin who stood where the explosion went off was completely gone.
"Haha, Good job Mai! It looks like that explosion completely disintegrated" Pilaf laughed out loud, his head sticking out of the car and completely oblivious to what's going on inside.
"P-p-pilaf...." Shu quietly whimpered out as he looked into the rearview mirror.
"What is it Shu, and how dare you not call me Emperor before my nam-" pilaf froze in his tracks as he turned around and saw Krillin casually sat in their car, his hand casually playing with the dragon ball they had stored inside the locked box.
"H-how did you get in here!" Pilaf shouted out.
Watching the three cartoonish bad guys sweat in fear, Krillin could only chuckle at their antics.
'My time freeze is completely useless offensively as I can't attack during stopped time, but for dodging attacks and movie its amazing!' During time sfop Krillin had quickly flown into the open windoe of the car!
"The next time you attack me, I won't be so generous as to let you three of the hook." Saying this Krillin opened the door and flew away on the nimbus, just using his time freeze for a half second drained over 3/4 of his Ki and forced the ability into a five minute cool down!
"Damn it! At this rate we'll never gain world domination!" Pilaf childishly said in a fit of anger.
At this time, a satellite who'd been tasked with watching all of Goku's friends actions witnessed this event, actions were immediately put into place to capitalize on this situation.
It was just as Pilafs anger started to calm down and Shu was about to put the car in drive, a silent drone flew into the car wind and a single piece of paper was attached to it.
Pilaf and his gang gave each other worried looks before pilaf took the card and read it.
{Want revenge? Come to this location and wait, I'll grant you the strength needed to rule the world!}
