When Xiong Da and Xiong Er were just two cubs, they used to play together.
[It was then that they first noticed large numbers of humans carrying out a massive logging operation in the forest.]
"Comrades, let's get to work!"
A familiar figure—Bald Qiang's father—stood triumphantly atop a massive log, vigorously waving a red flag.
Soon, the large group of loggers behind him began shouting loud work chants as they worked enthusiastically.
"Pull the big saw, pull the big saw, big guys, come and lend a hand, chop down the big tree, swing your axes!"
The unified, powerful chants echoed throughout the valley.
"Hold on tight, or the mountain will collapse."
"Swing the axe with all your might, the big tree falls, and the road is wide open!"
"Carry the log, don't look back, keep your eyes forward, and keep moving forward!"
"Take your first steps, straighten your back, hook the hook, and hold on tight!"
"Hey guys, hurry up and follow me, building our home depends on everyone."
Thousands of loggers, like industrious worker ants, were engaged in large-scale logging operations in the vast primeval forest of Bear Ridge.
In a matter of moments, countless enormous trees, each requiring several people to encircle, crashed down with a deafening roar.
Hundreds of huge trucks, fully loaded with timber, lined up in a long procession, returning home to build their distant homes.
[Hint: The person directing the work of thousands of people is none other than Bald Qiang's father.]
...
The World of "Mr. Amazing China"
"……Hey."
"This Bald Qiang's father is no ordinary person."
“Look at what those people are wearing, and that fluttering red flag, and the powerful work chant they're singing…”
"That spirit, that kind of energy that dares to change the world."
"Absolutely, that's our country's most passionate and vibrant 'workers' era from decades ago."
Looking at the image of Bald Qiang's father standing high in the sky, whose shouts elicited responses from hundreds of people, Wang Xiaoer revealed an expression filled with nostalgia and emotion.
“Wang Xiaoer is right.”
"In that special era, when everything was honored by collectivism and labor."
"The working class is the true leading class, possessing the highest social and political status."
"And 'labor' was the most glorious and respectable thing in that era."
A look of admiration and longing appeared on Li Xue's face.
"So."
"To be able to become the captain of a state-run logging team with thousands of members in that era."
"That's not comparable to the small-time contractors that anyone with money can become now."
"In those days, his status as 'captain' was significant in terms of social standing, actual power, and the degree of respect he commanded."
"It might be much higher than the combined salaries of several bureau chiefs in our city right now."
"No wonder he could have a son like Bald Qiang, who is good at inventing things and dares to go against the Chief Superintendent of Police, and is fearless."
Wang Xiaoer gave an expression of sudden realization, as if saying, "Oh, I see."
"This is called... like begets like, and the son of a hero is extraordinary."
[Just as Xiong Da and Xiong Er were watching curiously.]
They also encountered a tiny Bald Qiang, who was also a human infant.
At that time, Bald Qiang was holding a small, toy-like wooden axe, practicing chopping down trees with great seriousness.
The mischievous bear snatched his little wooden axe away in one swift motion.
[Bald Qiang yelled in panic, chasing after them relentlessly.]
[The younger Xiong Er, being slower, quickly separated from them.]
In his panic, he accidentally fell into a bottomless, dark tree hole.
However, inside this tree hollow lies a completely different world.
At the bottom of the tree hollow, there was a magical lake with a soft glow, a jelly-like consistency, and water that prevented anyone from sinking.
In the center of that magical lake, a pure white polar bear slept peacefully and quietly.
The World of Boonie Bears - Bear Cave
"Big Bear".
"Jiji".
"Mao Mao".
"Look."
"Look."
Xiong Er revealed an unprecedented expression, filled with excitement, ecstasy, and a hint of grievance. He desperately pointed at the white bear in the sky with his large, furry paws.
"It's a polar bear."
"That's a polar bear."
"I saw."
"I really saw it again."
“I’ve told all of you this before.”
"When I was a child, I really, really fell into a very magical tree hole."
"In that tree hollow, I saw a very, very big polar bear, all white, that emitted a soft glow, like a god."
"But what about you?"
"Back then, none of you believed me."
"You, Xiong Da, you're saying I'm daydreaming."
"And you, Gigi, you said I made up this nonsense just to be lazy."
"You...you're all laughing at me."
"now what?"
"Now, the sky is showing all my childhood experiences clearly."
"This video footage serves as evidence."
"Now you should believe me, right?"
Xiong Er's face was filled with excitement. He felt that the greatest "injustice" he had suffered over the years had finally been completely washed away at this moment.
"...Xiong Er."
"That... that..."
"So...so what you told us back then was all...all true..."
Xiong Da, standing to the side, also wore a complex expression filled with surprise, apology, and a hint of guilt.
"I...I always thought you were joking with us, talking in your sleep..."
"I'm sorry, Xiong Er."
"Yes...it was my brother who misunderstood you."
Looking at his adorable younger brother, who was excitedly waving his arms and legs, he felt for the first time that he was perhaps not a very good older brother.
"Oh my god."
"So...so you silly bear, you actually had such a magical, fairytale-like adventure."
"I...I also thought you were just bragging to steal honey."
King Gigi also showed an expression that was both surprised and somewhat embarrassed.
Above her forehead floated a mysterious stone emitting a soft white light.
Young Xiong Er was captivated by the dreamlike scene before him. Curious, he stretched out his furry paw, wanting to touch the stone.
The next second, with his touch, numerous beautiful, luminous fish emitting various colors of light appeared in the surrounding lake.
Then, he slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
There, he saw the sleeping dumpling so close to him.
[And Tuanzi, as if sensing his arrival, slowly opened her clear, sapphire-blue eyes.]
The next instant, a dazzling, blinding white beam of light shot into the sky from the tree hollow.
[While drowning, Xiong Er, in his panic, grabbed Tuanzi's beautiful, deer-like antlers from its head.]
[Upon waking, Tuanzi immediately grabbed him and began running wildly. Finally, she leaped high into the sky.]
[Bear Two, floating in the sky, curiously reached out and took the glowing stone from Tuanzi's head.]
Then, the dumpling's entire body transformed into specks of white light and vanished.
The world of Fruit Warriors
"Wow."
"That lake is so beautiful, it even glows, like jelly."
"And that polar bear, it...it's so big and beautiful, more beautiful than any fruit we've ever seen."
Looking at the dreamlike and magical scene on the sky, Lu Xiaoguo revealed an expression full of curiosity and admiration.
"But...but why did she disappear after that guy named Xiong Er took the shiny little stone off her head?"
Where did she go?
He wore a bewildered expression, completely unable to comprehend the magical scene unfolding before him.
"There must be something fishy about this."
"That polar bear doesn't look like anything special."
"She exuded a sacred and peaceful aura, unlike the demons and monsters like Dongfang Qiubai and the Four Evils."
Cheng Liuxiang revealed an expression full of righteousness, as if he was trying to analyze the strength of this unknown creature.
"And the stone floating above her forehead..."
"That must be some kind of priceless treasure containing immense energy."
"Just like... just like the energy core of our Fruit Warrior mech, it is the source of her power."
He wore an expression that suggested he was close to the truth.
"No, no."
“Cheng Liuxiang, this time you only know one side of the story, not the other.”
Pineapple Snowflakes revealed an expression of wisdom and nonchalance, as if he had seen through the whole truth. He smugly waved the fan in his hand.
"In my opinion, that stone is not a simple 'energy core'."
0 ······Requesting flowers 0 ···
"It is the 'life itself' of that polar bear."
"Or rather, it is the 'key' she uses to maintain her physical form in this world."
"That polar bear is very likely a higher being, composed of the purest energy, similar to a 'divine beast' or a 'mountain spirit'."
"And that stone is her 'true form'."
"So, when Xiong Er unintentionally took away the stone that was her 'true form'."
