Moreover, it doesn't matter whether you give that giant a little more or a little less food. They don't care if you give them a piece of gold. Giants don't even care about power.
But once a Titan learns the skill and becomes stronger, the other Titans will become extremely envious...
envious.
It's sour.
A group of giants sat cross-legged on the ground, watching another giant who had received the empowerment jump around and show off his power, their expressions just like those of children who hadn't gotten candy.
Lemons on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree.
It rolled up in no time.
Twelve hours later, the giants who returned to the Black Leaf Plain Royal Court were divided into dozens of classes, with their family members serving as teachers.
They don't even know the character for "king" yet, but they've already learned how to write the characters for "family"...
Gradually, the giants became more motivated and even started asking questions during class.
As people learned more and more characters, there weren't enough to go around for this batch of family members who came to Kuroyabahara.
Li Tongyun had been trying to adjust her breathing rhythm to help her Zhunti True Qi recover faster, but there were just too many giants, and she needed too much Zhunti True Qi!
Not enough!
The next moment, she took a deep breath and turned to look at Qing Ji: "Uncle Qing Ji, I may have to trouble you to make another trip. Open the door to City 10... No, I need the parent association members from each city to gather."
It's time to showcase the depth and substance of the parent-teacher meeting.
Chapter 870, The Power of Family
At this very moment, Luo Wanya is giving a lecture in front of the royal palace: "Repeat these two words with me, 'family'."
The giants, like foreigners in a Chinese class, awkwardly repeated "family."
Luo Wanya was very satisfied: "Click, help me translate. What 'family' means is... everyone unites together to form a new big family, helping each other, fighting against the Roosevelt Kingdom, and fighting against the financial groups of the Eastern Continent..."
There are lectures, and naturally, there are also homework assignments.
The giants, one by one, held charcoal and transcribed words onto huge green leaves.
The giants were scratching their heads in frustration, but they could only lie on the ground and receive the initiation if they wrote it correctly!
Soon, more and more giants learned 100 Chinese characters.
They raised their hands, pretending to let the teacher check their homework. Once the teacher confirmed that they had written everything correctly, the burly giant immediately stood up and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Then he rushed over to Li Tongyun like the wind: "Initiation! Initiation! Initiation!"
This is the second word they learned.
Looking at the hundreds of giants before her, Xiao Tongyun's face fell. She truly had no Zhunti True Qi left in her body. Moreover, even if she poured all of her Zhunti True Qi into her head, she would still feel weak.
Why has Uncle Qingji been gone for so long this time? Why hasn't he come back yet?
Even the giant prophet, completely lacking in social skills, could see the troubled look on Xiao Tongyun's face. He quickly comforted her, "Actually, it's not bad to let them cultivate slowly. If you don't have enough manpower here..."
However, Li Tongyun looked up at the giant beside her and said, "Manpower? My parent-teacher association has no shortage of manpower, Prophet!"
At that moment, a shadow portal suddenly opened beside her.
But then Qin Shuli's voice came from inside: "Everyone line up, one by one, in the order we arranged before. After you have poured all your Zhunti True Qi into your head, leave. Don't linger, and don't be surprised by what you see."
Immediately afterwards, family members lined up and came in one by one.
The Shadow Gate wasn't wide, only allowing two people to pass at a time. Giants had to crawl sideways to get through. But under Qin Shuli's direction, the family members were orderly, one line going in and another going out, just like going up and down stairs, one line on the left and one line on the right, so there was never any congestion.
Meanwhile, at the Black Leaf Royal Court, the giants lined up and lay down on the ground. Once one of them reached Rank E, he got up and left in high spirits, transforming into a spirited young man.
The giant prophet watched as a continuous stream of people emerged from the Shadow Gate, walking from morning till night.
When he first saw the people coming out of the door, he thought they were just people that Li Tongyun and the others had temporarily called in to make up the numbers, and that they would probably be gone in a little while.
But several hours later, the giant prophet was shocked; the flow of people never stopped! And it never became chaotic!
This kind of well-trained and orderly scene is something you would never see on the Titans.
The giants got into a frenzy, even pushing the king aside, and they didn't care about queuing anymore.
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. The giant prophet saw the order behind the parents' meeting during the process of queuing up for the initiation ceremony.
It's important to know that City 10 is the headquarters of the Parents' Association. Everyone went through the rat infestation together and then experienced semi-military management.
Today, any member of the City 10 family can be picked at any time and go to the battlefield.
The giant prophet suddenly said, "But won't this cause any trouble for everyone's lives? There are so many people, everyone has their own lives, and yet they come to help us."
At this time, the relationship between the parent-teacher conference and the Giant Dynasty is like the friendship between China and Pakistan. If you mention the parent-teacher conference, you can walk sideways in the Forbidden Forest and eat as much as you want, such as grilled vultures and honey-glazed lions.
The giant prophet exclaimed, "That's enough, that's enough. We can feel your sincerity and goodwill. Even the birds of Black Leaf Plains would shed tears for this, and the lions of the Forbidden Forest would be moved by it."
Li Tongyun thought to herself, what's so touching about these two ingredients? People from the Western Continent always speak in roundabout ways, they always try to make it sound poetic.
She shook her head: "Don't worry, our teamwork is very strong."
Xiao Tongyun added earnestly, "The friend in the great prophecy is more powerful than you can imagine. The things he did in the past may have seemed useless at the time, but they all laid the groundwork for today. This friend can also bring you hundreds of thousands, even millions, of new friends."
On the other side behind the Shadow Gate, in City 10.
Everyone knows that something big has happened!
The parents' meeting has issued a top-down call for help from all family members, requiring their full support.
Who could sit still like this? They have to be the first to help!
The cohesion of parent-teacher meetings these days is almost toxic; everyone is on the same page, and everyone praises the parent-teacher meetings.
Luo Wanya had just issued a call to gather in the square when the sound of running footsteps echoed throughout the city, like a herd of wild horses galloping.
The square was packed with people, making a rumbling noise.
The first person to arrive shouted excitedly, "I was the first one here! I'm the first one!"
"I'm in the top 100!"
Some family members lived a bit far away and arrived late, so they could only wait outside in frustration.
Under Qin Shuli's leadership, everyone slowly formed a long line and waited to receive the giant's blessing.
What? You get to visit Giant Interactive for helping out at the PTA?
Is there really such a good thing?
Suddenly, the whole city became lively. People who should have been at home with their wives and children in the evening were all out, making the city crowded.
The roads started to get congested.
The reason for the traffic jam was quite ingenious: one clueless driver, a member of the parents' association, upon hearing the call to action, simply abandoned his car in the middle of the road and ran to the side of the road to queue up...
It was only through Qingyi's group using intelligence gathering methods to track him down that traffic was restored.
That's amazing.
Finally, as a last resort, Ching-Chi led the entire PCE and PCA departments to the streets to maintain order, and ordered those below the E level to go home and wait, while their families of higher-ranking officers could come first.
That's when things started to get better.
As night fell, family members and wives who had been waiting in line on the street would come over with boxed lunches to deliver food.
The man grinned foolishly and said it wasn't hard work. The woman watched him eat his rice and smiled, telling him to hang in there a little longer.
The entire city of 10 was like it was celebrating the Lunar New Year at night.
It's so lively!
Qing Chen could have chosen not to save them, or he could have directly opened the Key Gate to evacuate the parent-teacher association members, but he did not do so.
Now, time has given him an answer.
In the Forbidden Forest, the giant prophet looked at the seemingly endless procession and wondered, "Why can these people... abandon everything they are doing and heed the call of that friend?"
Luo Wanyi, who had just finished teaching, explained with a smile: "Sincerity. They felt our sincerity before, and now they are repaying it with sincerity."
The giant prophet fell silent; he had, of course, heard Qing Chen's story from the black spider.
But what you hear from others is never as shocking as what you see for yourself.
Even Black Spider fell silent; she had never seen such happy, joyful, and enthusiastic people in Roosevelt Kingdom.
Li Tongyun finally breathed a sigh of relief; it really is good to have more family.
One million families can empower over ten thousand giants to reach the E-rank? It's not that difficult, it just takes time.
Li Tongyun asked, "By the way, are there any plants in the Forbidden Forest that can increase cultivation speed?"
The young giant prophet looked bewildered: "What?"
That's true. Even giants don't know what cultivation is. How can you expect them to find something like the Purple Orchid Star? Even if they did see it, they would treat it as useless weeds, chewing on it but finding it unpalatable.
Li Tongyun found a photo of Zi Lanxing: "Do you have this one?"
The giant prophet shook his head: "No."
It seems that plants like the Purple Orchid Star don't grow on the Western Continent. Logically, the Forbidden Forest is much larger than the Forbidden Lands of the Eastern Continent Federation; it should have such plants.
Just as she was feeling regretful, Black Spider suddenly said, "Actually, there have always been plants in the Forbidden Forest that can increase cultivation speed, and the four dukes and the royal family are using them. Otherwise, the Fate Master would have no way to advance to demigod before the age of 60."
Everyone looked at Black Spider. Yes, these kinds of secrets from the upper echelons of the Roosevelt Kingdom should be asked of this top advisor.
Black Spider continued, “This matter is very secretive. I wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t frequently visited Duke Storm’s residence. The Roosevelt royal family secretly found a field of ‘phoenix tail flowers.’ It is said that there are many phoenix tail flowers, but the difficulty is that they cannot be transplanted to the outside world. So, the royal family sends a secret team to pick them each time, and no one knows where they pick them from. The royal family will distribute the picked phoenix tail flowers to the dukes in the form of merit to help them with their cultivation. If any duke makes a mistake, the royal family will stop the supply of phoenix tail flowers.”
"What does a phoenix tail flower look like?" Li Tongyun asked, puzzled.
"Do you have paper and a pen?" Black Spider asked.
Li Tongyun brought out paper and pen, and the black spider drew the approximate shape of the phoenix tail flower. It was discovered that the petals of the phoenix tail flower were in an irregular fan shape, and the ends of the fan shape were as dazzling as if they were inlaid with diamonds.
The giant prophet suddenly said, "...Isn't this a wildflower? Wait, I just saw it."
As he spoke, the young giant prophet straightened up and looked around.
He quickly pointed with his large hand: "Over there."
Li Tongyun looked over and happened to see a giant woman with a phoenix tail flower stuck in her ear.
