The person in charge felt that if he actually sent the letter back, he might not see the sun rise tomorrow.

No, it's also possible that we won't see the moon tonight.

And so, after giving a small shock to a group of people, small countries such as Rem Pito and the East Country also began to acknowledge the utopia.

The world's major powers have all agreed, leaving these smaller countries with virtually no room for resistance.

Of course, if we have to say which countries don't recognize it, there are still some on this land.

Aside from Kazdel, who had no idea what the word "utopia" meant because he hadn't received the letter, the only other one was Kazdel Sargon, whose land had been seized.

Most of Utopia's territory is located in Sargon, and although much of it is undeveloped land, the best parts are still in the Victoria and Kazdel regions.

However, the number of troops stationed there is not small.

That's why Emperor of Sargon was so angry; he would never recognize the legitimacy of Utopia.

Because these lands belong to us! This country, Utopia, has taken our homeland and now expects us to acknowledge it?

That's a pretty nice idea!

So Sargon bravely withstood international pressure and publicly denounced Utopia's inhumanity as being comparable to that of Victoria.

The nobles of Victoria: Thank you for the compliment. We also feel that the Speaker and we share common ground.

Lateran: Has someone forgotten me?

Chapter 208 Kal'tsit, the first graduate of Bridge University.

Lateran.

The current pope.

To be honest, the sudden emergence of the country of Utopia is a good thing for Lateran.

Especially given that this country controls international food prices, maintaining good relations with it is entirely beneficial to improving people's living standards.

In fact, a long time ago, Master Huang had already informed the countries with which he had good relations. For example, Yan Country and Victoria already knew about the existence of Utopia.

Lateran is also included.

The reason is simple: the high-quality and inexpensive agricultural products provided by Master Huang drove the entire Lateran into a frenzy.

Eat your fill of desserts! High quality and affordable!

Strictly speaking, there is not much difference between Lateran and Sarkaz.

Both are major powers that export mercenaries to foreign countries and also sell arms.

Although Lateran's firearms are not officially allowed to be circulated outside, the Doctor often encounter people carrying guns while playing the game.

These people are not Lateran, so the question is, where did they get their "firearms" from?

It can't possibly grow from the ground, can it?

Moreover, Lateran, as a country poised to achieve a top standard of living in the future, has a relatively small land area and simply cannot support such low food prices.

Therefore, there must be additional sources of income, and the sources of these incomes are probably self-evident.

But none of this has anything to do with the current pope.

What the Pope was concerned about was the invitation's denial of the utopian ideals of all gods.

We must acknowledge it; otherwise, if we don't, our country will be in grave danger if our supplies run out.

But if we admit it, wouldn't that mean there's a problem with Lateran's faith?

Master Huang, you really know how to give me a tough time.

The Pope opened the thick inventory ledger, pondering a solution.

It turns out that decades ago, after Master Huang founded the Abundance Group in Victoria, he began to promote his food products to the world.

It won't have much impact on major powers, because they don't rely on you anyway.

However, for some small countries, the reputation of the Master Huang was even greater than that of the monarch. Lateran was one of the first countries to fall to the Yellow Lord.

Lateran is a small country with a strong military, classifying it as a medium-sized nation.

However, this is all based on the advantages of the theocracy, and it is well known that Lateran love sweets.

Lateran rarely suffers from Catastrophe and its land is fertile, but even so, its domestic food production is still not very high and cannot meet the needs of population growth and industrial development.

Therefore, we must seek resources from the outside world.

At this point, Master Huang intervened, and a large amount of agricultural products began to be dumped in the country, thus ushering in a golden age of economic development for Lateran.

Unfortunately, Master Huang then presented the Pope with another major problem.

"I neither admit it nor deny it."

The contemporary Laterano Church used escapism with remarkable success, leaving the problems to his successor.

The main point is that all popes know exactly what kind of god they believe in.

Whether he admits it or not is not really necessary for him, but his people need faith to sustain them, and at the same time, he cannot afford to offend them to death.

Faith sustains the soul, and desserts nourish the body.

The contemporary pope borrowed some diplomatic language from the Yan Country emperor and managed to gloss over the matter by using a diplomatic maneuver.

They neither admit it nor deny it.

There's no way around it; more than 60% of Lateran's food consumption comes from the Abundance Group, so it's impossible for them to really turn against them.

If we had to name a country whose current standard of living is close to that of a utopia, it would definitely be Lateran.

"Utopia... do these three words have any special meaning for you, sir?"

Kal'tsit stood on the deck of the Mobile City command center, looking at the enormous creature below, and couldn't help but say something.

Faced with the question, Huang Cao revealed the full meaning of Wu Duo Bang, which was almost exactly the same as in his previous life.

"Your ideals are even more unrealistic than His Highness's; they are almost impossible to achieve unless technology reaches a certain level."

Since Pre-Civilization did not realize such a social vision, how could Terra, which is still a nascent civilization, possibly do it?

"It's hard to believe that such a statement came from your mouth."

Huang Cao retorted.

"When humans first discovered electromagnetic induction, some people ridiculed it as useless, but the discoverer disagreed and said: What use is a newborn baby?"

"Even now, no one in any country can deny the enormous role of electromagnetic induction in the development of productivity."

"We shouldn't look at what utopia can't do now, but rather what utopia can do in the future."

"Human history rolls ever forward, and the pursuit of happiness and well-being is always its most important theme. I am willing to be a pioneer in this pursuit and defeat all those who stand in my way."

Kal'tsit's gaze fell on the setting sun, a smile playing on her lips, but it was quickly replaced by a cold expression.

Even Master Huang has exceptionally good eyesight, failed to spot it.

"Then, Master Huang, I'll stand in your way now."

Kal'tsit spread her arms and blocked Huang Cao's way, seemingly wanting the man to keep his word.

The latter understood immediately, but simply pointed to the deck he was standing on.

Then, out of nowhere, several vines suddenly appeared and bound Kal'tsit tightly.

"Master Huang, I don't understand what you mean."

Kyle, suspended in mid-air, expressed his bewilderment.

Huang Cao said with satisfaction, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, but before we only had a castle and no bridge, and it wasn't far from other places, so it wasn't very elegant to hang it up. This place has a great view, and you just made a mistake again. Hang it up for a night to let the wind blow and calm you down."

"What did I just do wrong?" Kal'tsit was still puzzled.

"Because you blocked my way and even attempted to harm the Lord's physical and mental health, isn't that wrong?"

Kal'tsit was speechless. Although she was still very dissatisfied, she could only obediently be hung up for one night.

Even after being released the next morning, she still had to obediently help Master Huang get dressed and wash up.

Your Highness! Please, you must help me get a permanent position!

Huang Cao is a sentimental person, and he also doesn't like living in the steel jungle of the metropolis.

So he had already moved his castle to a remote area of Mobile City using mobile landmasses.

As for why it has to be in a remote location, it's obviously for the sake of peace and quiet.

After all, work is work, and life is life.

However, once Kal'tsit returned to Master Huang's residence, he was already busy with work.

After all, they had just moved their territory to the Mobile City, and there were still many things to deal with, such as specifying the housing allocation for those who had moved to the city center.

This will keep us busy for at least a month.

Huang Cao was prepared for this, because he knew that he would build a super-large Mobile City in the future, so the housing area of Mobile City was sufficient.

Besides, there's no need for your people to rebuild a house; you can just move the existing houses up here.

This is a world where magic and technology coexist.

In the future, Yan Country will even be able to move famous mountains up there. Right now, it's incredibly easy for Master Huang to move a house with a machine.

Chapter 209 The Duke Wellington, who is still young.

"Such a magnificent Great Beast, if we were to actually crash into it, what a blood-splattering spectacle it would be!"

Dukare, who was invited to attend the ceremony, was deeply impressed by Utopia, this massive Mobile City.

What a magnificent creation! How can there be such a beautiful mechanical structure in this world?

No wonder that cat wanted to build Mobile City; luckily, I didn't refuse.

Dukare, who was originally the Minister of Finance, held the construction of Mobile City in great contempt.

What's the point of running away with your men? You might as well just have a real fight.

After seeing the Mobile City with his own eyes, he increasingly felt that it was a good thing.

"It's impossible for us to build such a long one, even if we squeeze every last drop of value out of every Sarkaz."

Nizere poured cold water on the idea.

"Of course I know, old man... you don't need to remind me."

Dukare didn't look too good; he hated being interrupted while he was talking.

Dukare: "So, as the Minister of Finance, following His Highness and Mr. Huang's plans, we also need to have our own Mobile City. Money is not a problem."

If you're short of money, have Your Highness run more business; after all, this is real money.

Anyway, it's not like I'm the one selling my genitals.

As the invited party, all the Royal Court, as usual, did not inform their superiors, namely the Demon King, in advance.

He tossed the leave slip aside and ran off, all to witness the construction of this steel Great Beast.

Then Theresia and Teresis were left alone in the Demon King's Palace to handle state affairs.

Your Royal Court: This is not a holiday for us, it's just a scientific research trip. Don't you understand what a publicly funded business trip is?

More importantly, neither the brother nor sister received any information about the existence of utopia.

In short, there are always reasons for skipping work. Even the leave slips that the Royal Court officials handed to the Demon King stated that they were going abroad to investigate the development of Mobile City.

Theresia was deeply moved and marveled at how Kazdel was thriving.

Little did they know, a real crisis was already brewing.

Thanks to Master Huang's billions in subsidies, Kazdel's economy and people's livelihoods have improved significantly compared to the past.

But hatred cannot fade away with basic needs being met.

Instead, once their survival problem is solved, they will start thinking about how to take revenge.

To be honest, this is completely unavoidable. Poverty breeds hatred, while wealth gives people more opportunities to think about hatred.
