"Ye Ge??"
Upon hearing Principal Dong's call, the audience, children, and teachers in the school instantly became excited.
"Ye Ge!!"
"Brother Ye!!"
What was supposed to be a serious and formal press conference quickly turned into a massive fan event. The younger children even started singing battle songs.
"I love you walking alone in dark alleys"
"..."
"Who says only those standing in the light are heroes..."
The resounding singing, filled with childish innocence, carried an inexplicable, uplifting energy! The adults couldn't help but join in.
The leaders from Great Xia on the main stage also stood up and began to clap. At this point, many were clapping out of politeness, but the person they were welcoming now commanded their genuine admiration!
Amidst the enthusiastic anticipation and widespread attention, a fiery portal suddenly ignited in the open space before the main stage.
Such a familiar scene, as if time had rewound, bringing back memories of past magic shows. The atmosphere was ignited once more. Everyone knew that this guy had truly appeared!
As expected, the massive fiery portal slowly opened, and a tall figure emerged. His familiar, handsome face, adorned with a faint smile, was a sight that never grew tiresome!
"Ye Ge!!!"
The cheers from the scene were deafening! The audience could no longer hear what Principal Dong was saying into the microphone, nor did they care!
"Back then, it was this fiery portal that they claimed was a prop, making us believe in science!!!"
"Exactly! They even brought a 36E female audience member as a witness to trick us!"
"I remember that chubby woman was also a super-rich heiress, right?"
"Hahaha... that was Ye Ge's top supporter back then! Her name was 'Sister is fierce!'"
"Deceiving our innocent and ignorant selves, making us lose sleep for so many nights!!!"
"But speaking of which, it was better during the alien invasion! Although everyone has gotten much stronger now, we're still a little worried..."
"Worried about what? Just fight!"
"That's right! What's death but either lighter than a feather or heavier than a mountain? Let's live spectacularly!"
...
The crowd remained boisterous. Bai Ye remained silent, slowly taking out a magic drone and launching it into space. The live stream also opened at the same time.
The audience's eyes lit up. What an exquisite and agile drone! So, Brother Ye had been using this for live streaming all along?
Viewers from all seven continents and five oceans of Blue Star immediately flooded into the live stream from various channels across the web. The number of viewers instantly surpassed one billion, an unprecedented grand occasion!
"Holy crap! This guy who always had broadcast interruptions is finally back!"
"Wuuu... I secretly borrowed my dad's private savings to buy a phone just to watch Big Brother's stream! I got spanked a few times, but now I can finally see him..."
"My friends told me the hero from the East was incredibly handsome, and I didn't believe them at first, but now I've fallen head over heels! Brother Ye~ can we cuddle together?"
"Go away, foreigners! Brother Ye belongs to us Great Xia girls!"
"I don't care! I'll only marry Bai Ye oppa in this lifetime!"
...
Since Africa joined the World Alliance, Douyin's live stream comment sections have expanded from five to six. The sixth comment section, representing Africa, has proven quite impressive, with hundreds of millions of viewers flooding in as soon as the stream began. Moreover, there are countless wealthy individuals with their own mines; in their section alone, gift revenue surpassed 5 billion Yuan in the blink of an eye!
"Friends, it's been a while!"
Despite the noise from the crowd, Bai Ye's voice still resonated in everyone's ears, and viewers in the live stream could hear him clearly. Hearing Bai Ye's magnetic voice caused another stir among the audience!
"The 'All-People Super Soldier Plan' has been implemented for some time now. I believe everyone has gained some understanding and should have received a good amount of training and modification resources..."
Bai Ye's words caused another wave of excitement among netizens from all over the world in the live stream.
"I heard that every citizen in Great Xia can get at least one bottle of 'Magic' mineral water every day? So envious! We in Peacock Country only get one bottle a week!"
"We in Rooster Country get one bottle every five days... which is better than you guys in India!"
"Our Beautiful Empire may not be comparable to Great Xia, but we get 3 bottles a week, and the quality is top-notch! I've only been drinking it for ten days, and my strength has surged by 30 jin!"
"Hahaha... that's all? Excuse me, we in Strong Country get one bottle every two days! Strength improvement... hehe, that's classified!"
"Maleficent? Is the welfare in Strong Country really that good?"
"Damn it! I'm hating our president more and more now. If we had joined the World Alliance sooner, our citizens in Cracked Britain Empire wouldn't be getting only one bottle every four days!"
"Ahem, our citizens in Cold Country also get one bottle every two days! Don't misunderstand, we're not showing off!"
"Yoshi! Our R Country... we're not telling you!!"
After exchanging information, netizens from various regions erupted. Some were happy, some were sad, some were envious, and some were envied...
Meanwhile, netizens from Great Xia, watching them argue and brag, suddenly fell silent, many even dumbfounded!
"One bottle per person? Who spread this rumor? Why do I get two bottles every day?"
"Holy crap? Brother, you only get two bottles? Sometimes I get three?"
Netizens from other countries: (⊙﹏⊙)???
"Friends from Great Xia, please tell us you're exaggerating!"
"Suddenly, getting one bottle every two days doesn't seem so good anymore..."
"Wuuu... how much would it cost to immigrate to Great Xia??"
"F*ck! Ye Ge, this isn't fair! Now that we're all part of the World Alliance, why is the treatment so different?"
"Yeah! Wasn't it said that we're resisting the aliens together? Why is the resource allocation unequal?"
...
Seeing the netizens' barrage of comments, Bai Ye roughly understood how countries around the world were distributing resources. It was certainly unrealistic to distribute them equally to everyone; only those who were stronger and had more potential could receive more resources!
Bai Ye did not interfere with the practices of countries on Blue Star, including Great Xia's official policies. He also knew that the government still had many resources that would be allocated to specific talents, especially the technology of directly modifying super soldiers using magic crystals, which was aimed at active military personnel, particularly selected special forces soldiers.
This was because when the alien army arrived, such a group of people would be needed to hold the front lines!
Therefore, he had no intention of indulging those who were feeling imbalanced online. If there were malicious individuals, their own government would handle them.
In fact, in the current situation, countries worldwide had received resource aid from the Great Xia government, especially Cold Country and R Country, otherwise, their citizens would not enjoy such high welfare!
"Now, let's use these little ones to test the potential of our new era humans!"
Bai Ye turned back and signaled Principal Dong with his eyes.
Principal Dong looked a bit displeased, as he had also seen many comments attacking Bai Ye online. He was so angry he could barely breathe!
"Principal Dong?"
Bai Ye's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. He snapped back to reality, seeing Bai Ye's sunny and reassuring smile, and his heart filled with even more admiration.
"The first New Era Sports Meet of Happiness Elementary School is officially open. The first event will be a team event: Tug-of-War!!!"
"Please have all teachers take their positions, and please have the children from each class get to their spots!"
As Principal Dong announced, teachers led the children onto the field. The elementary school was divided into three major groups: first and second graders, third and fourth graders, and fifth and sixth graders.
Due to time constraints, two classes would compete in a round-robin match, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminated!
On the plaza, dozens of teams had taken their positions! Each team had only 15 people, slightly more than half of the class.
The children, with their little faces tensed and gripping the rope, appeared to be giving their all. Other classmates and parents cheered them on from the sidelines, their faces flushed red.
The spectators and netizens watching the event closely speculated and bet on which class would win, making the atmosphere lively!
Suddenly, Bai Ye's voice rang out again.
"Little ones, cheer up! For the students who perform well in today's sports meet, big brother will personally give you some fun toys!"
Bai Ye's words instantly ignited the children's fighting spirit to the extreme, with flames seemingly burning in everyone's eyes!
The gifts from Bai Ye were something that even big friends, hundreds of months old, would eagerly desire, let alone the children!
Who knew what kind of peerless treasures Bai Ye would bring out?
"Three, two, one!"
"Beep!!!"
As the whistle blew, the audience and netizens couldn't help but shout their encouragement. However, before the cheers could even be uttered or the comments typed, the scene, both online and offline, suddenly fell silent...
*Bang!*
*Bang bang bang!!!*
A series of dull thuds echoed across the playground as students began to fall down one after another. Many tug-of-war ropes snapped under the children's exertion...
Over a billion viewers stared in stunned silence!!
"Holy crap! A rope this thick, just snapped like that?"
"Maleficent? This... this... even an adult pulling wouldn't be able to snap it, right?"
"Bro, you can be sure, it definitely wouldn't snap! I checked specifically, this is a professional competition rope, its tensile strength can withstand at least ten to twenty tons!!!"
"My god? Ten to twenty tons? Thirty kids, how much strength do these little guys have? My math isn't good... but it feels terrifying!"
"At least two hundred to three hundred jin of strength per person... holy cow!!!"
"Are you crazy? You call these elementary school students? Can you guys even win against them?"
