Zheng Ya's words about "pulling up seedlings to help them grow" were not a joke.
Long before Zheng Xiaoya learned that her older brother had helped Wu Wei awaken her talent ability when she returned home from junior high school, she used all her persistence to pester Zheng Ya to the point of exhaustion. He then tried to awaken Zheng Xiaoya's special ability, but failed.
As a result of the failure, Zheng Xiaoya will not be able to advance to the mid-stage of the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm for the next three years. She will need to recuperate and receive treatment with century-old spiritual medicine to repair the damage to her soul and foundation.
This served as a reminder to Zheng Ya that the Tower of Babel on the Qian Yuan Continent, which allowed people to awaken supernatural abilities but restricted them to being over eighteen years old, was not without reason.
After learning from Zheng Xiaoya's failed attempt to awaken her superpowers, Zheng Ya realized that the human soul is far too fragile.
It should be noted that Zheng Xiaoya has practiced martial arts since childhood to strengthen her body, and her willpower is stronger than that of ordinary people.
Even so, he failed when he tried to awaken his superpower.
This is enough to show that only a soul that is 18 years old or older has a deeper level of harmony with the blood and energy of heaven and earth, and only then does it have the prerequisite for awakening supernatural abilities.
Currently, in order to escape the oppression of Wu Wei's fire-type superpower, Zheng Xiaoya wanted to try to awaken her superpower with Zheng Ya's help, but Zheng Ya rejected the idea on the spot and left.
Zheng Xiaoya followed him angrily: "You jerk, just help me one more time, I'm sure I can succeed this time..."
"Zheng Xiaoya, do you want to die? Do you need a beating?" Wu Wei flashed over, grabbed her right ear and pulled it upwards. Zheng Xiaoya cried out in pain, standing on tiptoe, "Murder! Help me, you stinky old man!"
"Hmph, take it!" Zheng Ya walked into the house without looking back, took out a large durian from his supernatural space with his right hand, and threw it behind him.
With a whoosh, a large durian, thirty or forty centimeters in diameter, flew in an arc towards Zheng Xiaoya.
Zheng Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and she reached out to catch the large durian and snapped it in two: "Smack!"
The huge durian was broken in half, releasing an unpleasant odor. Zheng Xiaoya greedily inhaled the smell and then shoved the two halves of the durian upwards in one smooth motion.
The stench made Wu Wei release her ear and retreat abruptly, covering her mouth and nose as she scolded, "You siblings have no martial ethics, and you even used a stench bomb! You're a pair of shit-eating siblings, go eat shit!"
"Hehe, I can't handle you, yay!" Zheng Xiaoya didn't care about her indecent words and started eating durian in front of everyone, enjoying it immensely.
When durian first appeared in the courtyard, everyone was afraid of it and ran away at the smell.
She also criticized the Zheng family for eating excrement, just like Wu Wei did, thus ruining Zheng Ya's reputation.
But when Banggeng and his group of children shared the durian flesh, they ate it with such joy that it made everyone in the yard drool.
Unfortunately, everyone made premature statements from the start, like "eat shit?"
This becomes a psychological problem, a matter of dignity, where one suppresses the craving for durian and refuses to eat the flesh of the fruit no matter what.
Wu Wei is a representative of them. Whether for the sake of dignity and face or to deal with Zheng Ya and his sister, she cannot break her promise to eat durian.
But it's so tempting, I'm really craving it!
Zheng Xiaoya hugged the durian and ate the flesh. She even stepped closer to Wu Wei, scaring Wu Wei so much that she ran away in a panic.
Is my mental illness getting worse?
Adding to their craving for durian flesh, the conflict escalated. Fu Qingyao couldn't bear to watch, nor could she persuade them otherwise, so she let them make a fuss.
In the central garden of the Sihelou, Xu Qi, with her pregnant belly, was flipping through the account books in her hands. When she saw Zheng Ya return, she smiled and said, "Honey, we made more than 37,000 yuan this month just from selling vegetables!"
"Oh, is that a lot?" Zheng Ya had plundered a huge amount of money and various gold and silver treasures from Kou Island and North America. Having seen so much, he really didn't care about more than 30,000 yuan.
That amount is a drop in the ocean compared to any family treasure stored in any province across the country by Zheng Ya; it's not worth mentioning.
Xu Qi pouted unhappily and complained, "Honey, you clearly look disgusted."
You know, with an average monthly living expense of five yuan per person, more than 30,000 yuan can support a lot of people!
You look down on it? Clearly, there's something wrong with your thinking.
"Alright, don't say I have high ideological awareness and no problem. Even if there is a problem, it's because I'm bothered by others." Zheng Ya was indeed a bit annoyed. Every day, his superiors would send people to give him technical instruction, treating him like a tool. After a while, he got tired of it.
In just over a month, it has nurtured 30,000 to 40,000 talents for the country.
With such a large flow of people, just one glance from each person would be enough to give you a headache.
Moreover, Zheng Ya found it tiresome to experience the different gazes of 30,000 to 40,000 people so often that he couldn't even live a peaceful life.
Xu Qi put down the account book with a pained expression and brewed him a cup of Da Hong Pao tea: "Are you alright? Have a cup of tea to calm down first!"
Should I mention it to my mom and suggest we stop letting too many people come to receive the initiation technique?
"Teaching a man to fish is a national policy set by higher authorities. If too many people are taught this, it could create a vicious cycle, fostering complacent and unambitious key personnel, which would be disastrous for the country and its people!"
"Alright, you two stop talking. The higher-ups have already terminated the talent infusion technology project."
Talent awakening is only conducted on elite talents selected nationwide.
"You brat, you're free now." Fu Qingyao had recently noticed that Zheng Ya's mood was off and was also very worried.
It is a great thing to cultivate technical talent for the country.
However, human nature is inherently greedy, and once the core members of the nation develop a dependency, it becomes a vicious cycle.
If key personnel fail to act, technological progress will stagnate.
This is a frightening phenomenon.
Fortunately, the higher authorities intervened in time, cutting off the project on the top-filling technology and repeatedly instructing the key personnel of the top-filling technology to do their jobs well. Failure to innovate would be considered dereliction of duty and outdated thinking!
This approach undoubtedly gave a strong boost to those skilled in the technique of top-level infusion.
The project, which was forced to grow too quickly, has been shelved?
Zheng Ya was overjoyed: "Haha, that's great! Now I have time to go out and have some fun..."
"You brat, what do you want to do?" Fu Qingyao glared at him warily and pressed him for an answer. Zheng Ya replied nonchalantly, "The world is so big, what's wrong with me wanting to see it?"
"You brat, you're not allowed to go?"
Don't you know there's a saying circulating internationally: "Please don't come any closer!"
"Don't you know who you're talking to?" Fu Qingyao was angry, and the consequences would be severe.
Internationally, Zheng Ya is portrayed as a great demon.
He went to Kou Island, where all the Japanese invaders had been reduced to slaves in the Stone Age, living by scavenging for food in the fields and the sea.
Coincidentally, Zheng Ya also gave Secretary Song and Secretary Sun advice, inducing some Japanese troops to send a telegram to South America requesting that South America occupy Kou Island. South American authorities then brazenly occupied Kou Island under the guise of international aid, and the Japanese locals frantically bought up South American local resources.
The South American authorities mistakenly believed that sending the families of the stationed troops there to purchase supplies was an attempt to turn Koh Island into a South American military platform, and thus provided them with strong support.
Little did they know that the supplies worth over 3 billion US dollars sold in just one month were all intercepted by the Southeast Navy en route.
They have used some deceptive tricks and underhanded methods to embezzle US resources, and this is now in full swing.
Fu Qingyao worried that if Zheng Ya went out to have fun at this time, it would ruin this golden opportunity to plunder the local resources of foreign powers, and if the high-ranking officials of the foreign powers found out the inside story, the losses would be huge...
