Mysterious gymnastics sweeps across China! Eagle Sauce: What the hell are they doing?
As soon as the news broke, the internet instantly turned into an ocean of joy.
The topic #Great Xia Taking Flight Broadcast Gymnastics# rocketed to the number one spot on the trending list, followed by a bright red "Explosive" tag.
In the comment section, all sorts of internet masters began showing off their skills.
"《Great Xia Taking Flight》? The name makes me want to laugh just hearing it. Why not call it 《The Era is Calling》? It's a total renaissance."
"Even the set my grandfather did didn't have such a tacky name. Dreaming back to the eighties?"
"Thanks for the invite. Currently at my desk, just stumbled upon this while slacking off. I laughed too loud and got caught by my boss. Now I'm writing an apology letter."
"To the person above, your boss might be laughing secretly too. That aside, who designed these moves? 'Roc Spreading Its Wings'? It looks more like 'Chick Pecking Rice' to me."
"Already downloaded it. Planning to practice with my girlfriend tonight. It's all about the mood."
"I can't hold it anymore, that's very 'moody'..."
For a time, all sorts of parody photoshopped images and funny imitation videos emerged one after another. Netizens used their own methods to express their warmest "greetings" to this newly emerged broadcast gymnastics of the new era.
However, the netizens' joy didn't last long.
The next day, a red-headed document was precisely delivered to all government agencies, schools, and enterprises nationwide.
The core content was simple and brutal: Promote the 《Great Xia Taking Flight》 broadcast gymnastics; it will be included in the annual performance assessment, and failure to complete it will result in deductions from performance bonuses.
With that, the wind on the internet changed instantly.
"I take back what I said yesterday. This set of exercises is full of strength and beauty, embodying the positive spirit of our country's people!"
"I'm crying. Our company announced that every morning at nine, all employees must do the exercises together in the plaza downstairs. The administrative department is recording with their phones; anyone who dares to slack off can wait to be 'optimized'."
"Help! Our university changed the morning exercises to this directly. The counselor is supervising in person; it's stricter than catching cheaters!"
The mockery turned into wailing. The ocean of joy evaporated overnight, leaving only an endless sea of bitterness.
Just as everyone was grumbling, the authorities' combination punch arrived.
First, several of the country's top young idols and popular young actresses posted videos of themselves doing the exercises on their social media accounts.
Although the movements still looked a tiny bit awkward, it couldn't stop the fans' high enthusiasm.
"Brother is so handsome! Even doing broadcast gymnastics is so charming!"
"Wuwuwu, I've got the same gymnastics as my wife. Starting today, I'm going to start practicing too!"
Immediately after, during prime time on major TV stations, expert interviews began to be broadcast on a loop.
An elderly, seemingly prestigious academician faced the camera and said righteously: "Through our team's precise calculations and analysis, every movement in this 《Great Xia Taking Flight》 can precisely stimulate the deep muscle groups of the human body, promote blood circulation, and long-term persistence can effectively improve the sub-health state of the citizens!"
"Especially for teenagers, persistent practice can not only promote bone development but also enhance brain activity, making learning more efficient!"
The experts spoke eloquently, using one professional term after another, leaving the audience in front of the TV stunned.
That wasn't all. What truly made everyone's jaws drop was that in the subsequent news, the Four Elders of Great Xia actually took the lead in doing these gymnastics, and their expressions were so serious, and their movements were so standard!
That scene was simply full of impact.
"No way, is this real?!"
"My... my eyes aren't deceiving me, right? That is... is that the Grand Elder and the others?"
"Holy crap!! I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked. To be able to make these people personally come down and lead the exercises, could this gymnastics be some kind of immortal magic?"
"I'll practice, I'll practice, alright?!"
Under the official's tireless and crazy promotion, gradually, the atmosphere of gymnastics began to change.
Many people discovered that by persisting every day, their bodies really seemed to feel much lighter.
"Brothers, this is weird! My cervical spondylosis of many years, after doing the exercises for half a month, actually doesn't hurt much anymore!"
"Indeed! My mom has high blood pressure. Recently, she's been doing it with me every day. Yesterday, we measured it, and her blood pressure has come down!"
"I used to lose half my life running a thousand meters, but now I feel like I can go up to the fifth floor in one breath without any effort! This exercise... really has something to it!"
When the first batch of people tasted the benefits, the "Zhen Xiang" law began to ferment.
More and more people shifted from passive coping to active practice.
Just when the national enthusiasm was gradually ignited, the authorities struck while the iron was hot and released a brand-new instructional video on the entire internet.
The beginning of the video was a majestic aerial shot, with stirring and powerful background music, completely different from the old-fashioned "one, two, three, four" broadcast gymnastics soundtrack from before.
The camera zoomed in, and two hundred members of the Kunlun Squad, dressed in black combat uniforms, stood like statues on the huge Martial Arts Arena.
Every one of them had a physique like a mountain, with deep and calm breath.
As the drumbeat of the music sounded, the two hundred people moved in perfect unison, every strike and stance filled with explosive power.
Simple stretching movements were executed by them with an Aura that could split stones.
One leap seemed as if it could shatter the earth.
That was no longer gymnastics; it was a war dance!
The netizens in front of the videos were collectively speechless. After a few seconds of silence, the barrage exploded instantly.
"Holy crap! This is broadcast gymnastics? You call this broadcast gymnastics?!"
"So cool! These muscles! This sense of power! After watching it, my blood is boiling. I want to go downstairs and do a set right now!"
"This is what 'Great Xia Taking Flight' is! The previous celebrity/influencer version was basically kindergarten level!"
And at the very front of this group of tough men, a young girl in a white training suit became the most eye-catching presence in the video.
She had a slender figure, yet her movements were standard. Every gesture carried an indescribable rhythm and beauty.
Sunlight spilled onto her, as if plating her with a layer of holy radiance.
That face, which was already pure and cute, added a few more touches of otherworldly temperament after becoming a Cultivator, beautiful enough to make one's heart tremble.
"Who is the young lady leading the exercises? Within three minutes, I want all her information!"
"Mom, I'm in love! For her, I'm willing to do broadcast gymnastics ten times a day! No! Twenty times!"
"What kind of divine beauty is this? She simply walked out of a painting! Please, official, open an account for the young lady! We will do anything!"
Lin Xiyue thus, without any defense, quickly became popular on the internet, gained her first batch of fans, and was given a nickname by netizens — Fairy of Gymnastics!
Jianghai City, a certain residential complex.
Police station chief Wang An turned off his phone, his expression complex.
Others might not know, but he knew very well.
The young girl who had punched through the load-bearing wall in his office was now the lead instructor for the national broadcast gymnastics.
The meaning behind this was self-evident.
This set of exercises was definitely paving the way for the national Cultivate!
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He rushed in one leap to his son, who was watching cartoons in the living room, and his wife, who was wearing a face mask.
"Stop watching! Get up, all of you! Do the exercises!"
"Huh? Dad, haven't we already done it today?" His son looked confused.
"Do what? That was slacking off! From now on, ten times a day! One less time and no dinner!" Wang An's attitude was unquestionable.
His wife took off the mask on her face, equally puzzled: "Old Wang, what kind of madness are you in? Did the unit issue new targets again?"
Wang An couldn't explain; the confidentiality agreement weighed on him, and leaking even half a word would be treason.
He could only take a deep breath and speak with the most sincere tone of his life: "Believe me! And believe in the country! This thing has immense benefits for us! Practice! Practice until you die!"
Looking at her husband's unprecedented seriousness, Wang An's wife, although full of doubts, still chose to believe him.
Thus, the family of three started crazy extra practice in the living room.
Meanwhile, Pretty Country.
Emperor Chuan was boredly scrolling through social media, thinking about what kind of stunt to pull next to make Pretty Country great again!
"Bang bang bang!"
The office door was knocked on urgently.
"Come in!" Emperor Chuan shouted impatiently.
A blonde secretary walked in hurriedly, holding a folder, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Mr. President, urgent content!" The secretary placed the folder on the table, her voice slightly tight: "We have just summarized some intelligence regarding Great Xia recently, and there is one item that the Intelligence Agency finds very puzzling."
Emperor Chuan glanced at the folder lazily upon hearing this and flipped it open casually.
"Fuck! What kind of tricks are they playing now? Did they build another aircraft carrier, or did they come up with a more terrifying Dongfeng Express?"
The secretary swallowed, leaned forward slightly, and lowered her voice.
"No, Mr. President, neither!"
"But it's more... eerie than that."
"They... are mobilizing their entire population of 1.4 billion to do a set of broadcast gymnastics!"
