Chapter 1562: A Family Portrait
Yang Jian's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare ask more questions during the meeting!
He could only suppress his doubts for now!
But he firmly believed that Jiangnan definitely had his reasons for doing this!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but chuckle.
Learning to play tricks too, huh?
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄口°᷅)☛ "What are you all standing around for? You two students! Shouldn't you be taking notes?"
"Still spacing out? Don't you know how to listen to the lesson? Can you afford to pay for it if the plan fails because of you?"
Bruce, Andy, and the others had black faces. They were Dao Heaven level now, so why did they still feel like they were being lectured by a teacher in class?!
Jiangnan cleared his throat: (｡･ˇกˇ･) "That's the plan, everyone. Anyone have anything to add?"
"If not, we'll go with this. Specific details will be coordinated and executed by each faction later!"
"For now, we just need to formulate the initial counterattack strategy. Anything more would be useless, since plans can never keep up with changes!"
At this moment, the members of the council in the room nodded subconsciously, then froze!
Was... was that it? The plan was made and the alliance was formed?
Holy crap?
But thinking back to what Jiangnan had said, there really wasn't anything to optimize. Where could they even raise objections?
In the end, Jiangnan still managed to show off! Damn it!
But given the current situation, this was indeed the scenario everyone wanted to see.
Regardless, they needed to win first!
Seeing no one spoke, Jiangnan continued: "Since no one has anything to say, let's leave it at that!"
"I've created a group. Everyone scan the code to join for better communication and coordination on the subsequent actions and progress updates!"
With that, he pulled out his phone and showed the group QR code.
(๑╹～╹)っ▓ Here~
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
(꒪_꒪‧̣̥̇) "No way? Are you kidding me? Joining a group chat?"
"We're supposed to be the top powers of Blue Star, and the major joint counterattack is going to be discussed in a group chat?"
(￢益￢ꐦ) "Can't you be a little more high-class? Do you have to be this down-to-earth? This is too low-class!"
Even Yang Jian couldn't bear to look.
(ﾉ)´-﹏-`)
"Blue Star Dao Heaven Chat Group" seriously?
If someone accidentally joined and saw a bunch of big shots chatting in there, wouldn't they be confused?
They might casually strike up a conversation, then use it to start a wonderful life turnaround or something!
Jiangnan pouted: (๑՞～՞) "What's wrong with a group chat? Where's it low-class? The satellite database ensures no information leaks. It's convenient for everyone to communicate!"
"Take it or leave it! The first five to join get admin privileges!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Daoyi immediately extended his phone to scan the code. He was fast!
Although he couldn't beat most of the people present, the thought of managing them made him a little excited!
(΄◞ิ.̫.̫◟ิ‵) Hehe~
Following Chen Daoyi, Piers also teleported over in a flash and scanned the code!
(•̀д•́◟) "Admin, remember!"
Even Freya's eyes lit up. This might be a new way to make money! So she rushed over to join the group too.
Seeing everyone start joining, the rest had no choice but to scan the code and join as well.
As soon as the big shots entered the group, their faces darkened.
The group name was clearly "The Hope of the Whole Village"!
So tacky!
What village? Blue Star Village?
Who would have thought there were a bunch of Dao Heaven level big shots in this group?
Even Quinn and the others joined the group, but they didn't get admin privileges.
"Ahem~ The counterattack plan has been preliminarily formulated. The roundtable meeting is about wrapped up here!"
"In the following actions, I will appoint Punishment Officers and Peace Troops to supervise each faction's actions from a neutral standpoint!"
"This is to prevent any faction from causing trouble, sabotaging, or refusing to cooperate, which could lead to friction, conflict, or sabotage the joint operation!"
"If such a situation occurs, the offending faction will face sanctions from all joint members. How about it? Any objections?"
Although everyone frowned, they agreed. After all, this cooperative model was unstable, and problems could easily arise during coordination, leading to conflicts.
Having the International Spirit Martial Alliance supervise wasn't a bad idea.
It was just a bit uncomfortable to have someone watching everything they did.
The roundtable meeting was about over. Everyone stood up to prepare for the next actions.
They didn't want to waste a single moment.
As for Jiangnan, he wanted to pick a team to go after the spatial spirit ruin core.
Just as he was about to act, Baikou seemed to remember something and raised her hand to propose.
(❅ớ⌂ờ)ﾂ "Everyone, wait a moment... Why don't we take a photo as a memento before we act?"
Everyone was stunned: (•︠～•︡) "We're going to take a group photo?"
Baikou's expression darkened, and she gave a bitter smile.
"Everyone, this battle will be tough, as we all know. Whether we win or lose, some of us may not be here after this battle..."
"So let's take a photo. It'll be something to remember. At least it proves we all gathered here and fought for humanity's future!"
In that moment, the entire Sunshine Hall fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was quiet.
Some might not be here?
But... what could they do?
There are always things that need to be done.
There are always things in this world that people value more than their lives.
Friends? Family? Promises? An old house? Or even a girl's anticipation...
Maybe everyone is different, but they all have something.
If they're not here...
Then so be it.
Jiangnan grinned.
(Oᵔ◡ᵔO) "Let's try not to be the ones who fall! Take the photo, take the photo!"
With that, he teleported onto the round table, grabbed a small stool, and sat right in the middle!
"For a group photo, you gotta seize the C-position!"
✧*｡(｡≖ิ◡≖ิ｡)✧*｡
At that moment, the members of the council all smiled freely, climbed onto the table, and lined up.
Some crouched, some stood.
Mi Ye even snatched the spot next to Jiangnan, while Baikou stood on his other side.
(❅❛ั◡❛ั)(๑◔◡◔ิ๑)(乛₃乛๑)
Qian Benying sneaked behind Jiangnan, a sly smile on her face.
(˵ಡ.̫ಡ˵)
Everyone was in position. The two meeting recorders held up the camera and aimed at everyone.
"Ready to shoot! Hey~ don't be so gloomy! It's not a funeral photo! Cheer up!"
"Exactly! When do we ever get a chance to take a photo with so many Dao Heaven level people gathered?"
Odin had a black face: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "You do know we're Dao Heaven, right? What are we supposed to shout? Say cheese? Don't we have any dignity?"
Just standing together and posing for a photo was already embarrassing enough!
Jiangnan looked thoughtful: (◕ˇกˇ◕) "Saying cheese is a bit humiliating. How about shouting 'Nan Shen is awesome'? I think that's pretty good!"
[From Odin: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Quinn...]
That was even more humiliating!
Could you be any more narcissistic?
Everyone shouting "You're awesome" during a group photo?
Just then, Baikou's pretty face turned bright red. She clenched her little fists, closed her eyes, and shouted loudly!
(ง❅˃᷄⌂˂᷅)ง "Humanity! Will prevail!"
Her voice echoed through the hall. Baikou's face was redder than an apple, and she was practically steaming!
˚‧º·(❅˃᷄﹏˂᷅❅)‧º·˚
Everyone was startled by Baikou's shout. But Jiangnan grinned and raised his hand high!
✧٩(･᷅口･᷄*)و✧ "Prevail! Prevail!"
Following Jiangnan's roar, the Dao Heaven experts who had been too embarrassed to shout somehow felt their hearts stir.
Smiles spread across their faces. Prevail?
Then let's fight and return victorious!
"Prevail!"
At that moment, all the Dao Heaven experts joined in the roar. The two little meeting recorders' eyes sparkled!
Yes, yes, yes! That's it!
"3, 2, 1! Three-shot burst, go!"
The flash went off continuously, capturing this historic moment!
In the picture, Qian Benying behind Jiangnan made a funny face, raising both hands in peace signs above Jiangnan's head!
Y(*॑꒳ˆ*)Y⋆*
Among the Dao Heaven experts, Koronov had the loudest voice. With his earth-shaking roar, his power unconsciously burst forth!
No sooner had the first photo been taken than the round table shattered, and the entire Sunshine Hall collapsed from the roar. A huge beam crashed down toward everyone!
Chaos ensued. Those who had been posing stumbled as the table broke, their faces filled with terror as they cursed!
All of this was captured in the second and third photos taken by the camera.
Amidst the curses and flying dust, the group photo was completed, and the Blue Star roundtable meeting "perfectly" ended!
Jiangnan specially asked the two little recorders for the photos. He used the nicest one as the profile picture for the "Hope of the Whole Village" group chat.
As for the other two, he kept them as evidence!
(՞ټ՞) Hehehe~
Afterward, the Dao Heaven experts present split into three groups!
One group stayed behind on Blue Star to provide backup. Another group went to the moon for base construction. A third group was responsible for forming squads to harass the One-Eyed Army on the Moon Eye. Mi Ye went to Silver Moon City. Baikou and Bati did the same.
Having more high-level combat power on the moon was better!
Jiangnan also selected a group of people.
Most were space-type!
Among them were Piers, Martin, Baldr, Qian Benying, and the Hongguo delegation.
Even Freya came along to supervise the actions of each faction and prevent internal conflicts.
She actually applied to come herself, since she still had a score to settle with Jiangnan!
Baldr frowned: "Which spatial spirit ruin are we going to? China's Void Sea? That's already closed, right?"
Piers pouted: (￢д￢◟) "Just tell us where we're going! I'll take you! Your teleportation distance is ridiculously short!"
This was a rare chance to mock Jiangnan, and he wasn't going to miss it!
Jiangnan looked around. The vast Pacific Ocean was empty.
He rolled his eyes: (꒪ัд꒪ั*) "Hey, hey, hey! You don't seriously think I picked you all to go after a spatial spirit ruin core, do you?"
"The base is big enough. Half of mine and Baikou's combined is almost sufficient. Even if it's not enough, China still has a Void Sea core fragment in storage!"
Qian Benying's smile froze.
(•́ω•̀٥) "Eh? Is... isn't that it?"
I came here thinking I'd get a spirit bead! Damn it!
