Lamian: Strike first and you'll be in trouble! I'll enjoy myself for decades longer than Your Highness.

Warfarin: Did I hear something wrong? Let Ah Cao take the initiative.

Kal'tsit: Getting Master Huang to take the initiative is no less difficult than Terra exploding on the spot.

"Do you remember the snowy day more than a hundred years ago? Someone offered to exchange grain for land in Kazdel, which was the first piece of land I acquired in Kazdel, now the main city of Utopia."

"Actually, that person is me, but not any of my relatives."

Theresia: "Actually, I had already guessed some of it, but I still find it hard to believe that we would have crossed paths so early."

And you started lying to me back then... Am I really that easy to fool?

Am I really that stupid?

"Lamian has been covering for me all along, which is why you haven't noticed Eden until now, but it has become a utopia."

"If it weren't for Lamian whispering in your ear, our war might have already begun."

Theresia: "Luckily it didn't start, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face you."

This kind of confrontation not only includes current feelings, but also confrontation without emotional factors.

She has completely accepted the fact that she has failed. If Utopia is really an enemy country and there are no emotional factors involved, what kind of future will Kazdel face?

He and his brother might not be able to beat this burly man in front of them, and even ten of them might not be able to defeat him.

To satisfy Theresia's curiosity, Huang Cao, in a gentle tone, carefully explained the development of Utopia over the past century.

This includes the problems he has encountered and his future development plans, but nothing is better than letting Theresia see the world inside Utopia with her own eyes.

Harmonious coexistence among races has been fully realized in Utopia, where no race is discriminated against, and everyone has their own obligations.

Although each race has its differences, under Master Huang's careful coordination, conflicts have been minimized.

"After lunch, I'll take you to see it."

But perhaps there really was nothing to do, and the hormones on the field gradually began to surge as time went on.

It seems that Lamian, Warfarin, and Kal'tsit are seeking revenge for their failure to eat last night.

So while Master Huang was preparing the ingredients, the three of them somehow found a new apron and cut it up badly with scissors.

As for who made it, there was only one very professional tailor present.

Who could it be?

"What's the difference between this and not wearing anything at all?"

Huang Cao carefully took the apron from Theresia's hand with her fingers.

I was afraid that if I used even a little more force, the apron would break.

In theory, the purpose of an apron is to prevent oil stains from getting onto precious clothing.

But now, the four people in front of me actually want me to wear only this apron.

The significance of the word "only" is self-evident.

"And what's the purpose of this big hole? Where did that piece of cloth covering the hole come from? Is it for drinking from immediately after lifting the lid?"

Theresia shook her head, casually tossed the scissors in her hand aside, and pointed to Kal'tsit and the others beside her.

"I don't know, I was just in charge of cutting."

As expected, a professional tailor's eye is a ruler; Huang Cao looked perfect in it, in every way.

But in order to satisfy the other two people's quirks, he certainly fulfilled the meaning of "only".

Fortunately, the apron preserved the last bit of his prey's self-esteem, which, strictly speaking, only revealed his smooth back.

Although other areas are so thin that the fabric barely covers the general outline, making them almost invisible.

But since everyone there is family, we might have to be honest with each other after visiting Utopia, and I'm not going to give them any food anyway.

While preparing a delicious lunch, Huang Cao kept shifting and turning around next to the stove.

So for the other four people, the room was filled with more than just the aroma of food.

His appearance is pleasing to the eye, but whenever someone tries to cross the boundaries of Master Huang's culinary domain, he will immediately issue a stern warning.

When faced with a contestant who repeatedly fails to learn from mistakes, Huang Cao's little hands are about to start to exert force.

So not long after, four people were lying on the ground.

Having resolved the trouble, Huang Cao scooped a perfectly shaped abalone from the pool, her fingers flying across the surface as she quickly cleaned away the impurities, just as she had done to them earlier.

The only difference is that, unlike edible ingredients, they have no impurities.

"You want to see and eat at the same time? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just watch quietly. Who told you to be so restless?"

Huang Cao tapped the spatula and said very proudly.

Kal'tsit could only defiantly raise a middle finger.

Chapter 281 is a Utopia exam that can be described as hellishly difficult.

"Teresis Highness Theresis, your release application has been approved. Would you like me to offer you a job?"

The Banshee guarding the prison learned from her boss that the Demon King had reached a peace agreement with the lord of Utopia.

Furthermore, Kazdel will become a complete vassal of Utopia, receiving comprehensive resource allocation.

That's good.

When Teresis heard the news, she did not go crazy and shout.

I am calmer than ever!

Not to mention that Dukare and Nizere, that pair of clowns, were standing right next to him.

While Theresia was pressuring Master Huang, the two of them were not idle either, and they were constantly trying to persuade Teresis.

After all, he's Master Huang's brother-in-law, and we can't let him ruin Kazdel's plans in the future.

"I'll believe your story for now, so I won't disturb my sister's life. But I need to see her."

If this is Theresia's choice, Teresis will absolutely not object.

The problem lies in whether this is his sister's true feeling or whether she was coerced.

"Please tell me a time."

Dukare asked.

At this moment, the Blood Demon changed into the clothes of the Minister of Finance of Kazdel, and a small calculator was hanging on his waist.

"Let's watch Kal'tsit get burned to ashes first, there's no rush now."

"Then I'll arrange a time slot for you the day after tomorrow."

A tribute to the legendary cat lover, Teacher T from TV!

Since I'm at their mercy now, I might as well watch something that makes me happy.

Theresia was also very happy that her brother could recover from such a big change.

But she's already on her way to Utopia, so let's meet another day.

Who would have thought that a country's top leader could show such a charming side after entering Utopia?

The prosperity of Utopia far exceeded the Demon King's imagination; skyscrapers were everywhere, along with Golden Tree that reached into the clouds.

This isn't even Mobile City.

The industrial center of Utopia is located in the Mobile City, where various administrative institutions also reside.

However, the most prosperous city was not the Mobile City, but the original Utopia capital city located within Kazdel.

This is the land that Master Huang acquired first.

If the conquered territories are included, Utopia's population would have been in the tens of millions long ago.

It's not that we can't move all these people to Mobile City, but other lands also need population to maintain basic operations.

This is a matter of consumption and supply.

Through this relationship, the relationships between Utopia's Mobile City and other territories are not based on loyalty to define functions.

Therefore, it's unlikely that only die-hard fans of Master Huang can access the Mobile City —a ridiculous situation.

All residents can live in the Mobile City, but some people prefer their native place.

Master Huang has been running his business for over a hundred years, but Mobile City have only been in use for a few decades.

Huang Cao transferred all the highly capable people to the Mobile City, leaving the vast majority of the regions to be maintained by the core staff.

However, these core members should not be underestimated. At least under Master Huang's guidance, their governance skills are in no way inferior to those of the top leaders of some countries.

Because everything is based on exam papers, scores and actual ability are everything.

After visiting Theresia, what shocked Theresa the most was not the Mobile City or the skyscrapers on other lands.

It's not the education system shared by all citizens, but the almost cruel selection process for officials.

After visiting Master Huang's city, she realized that the administrative system she had constructed was simply a makeshift operation.

For those living in the Mobile City of Utopia, working and living there are two completely different concepts.

Anyone can live in the Mobile City of Utopia if they wish.

However, if you want to become an official who serves the country, you really have to put in a lot of effort.

How can you serve the lord if you don't have the ability?

Take the exam!

The difficulty of taking the civil service exam in Utopia is hellish. Although everyone who wants to pursue a career in government has a heart to serve the country, Master Huang still chose to streamline the administrative agency.

Therefore, there are very few positions available, and if you want to stay in one, you must constantly maintain your core competitiveness.

With the promise of good pay and the opportunity to serve the country, almost every Utopia official put in their best effort.

Everyone wanted to achieve something, so even though all the elites were transferred to the center of the Mobile City, the vast remaining areas were still governed by talented people.

It was a scene of vibrant life, where everything was thriving.

This is much better than the monsters and demons in other countries.

Utopia officials stated: This is a stronghold of the strong; there is no place for the weak!

Just coasting along and waiting to die?

This kind of scum only deserves to be eliminated by our Utopia Civil Service Exam System!

As for wanting to make the gift-giving process even more sophisticated?

Leaving aside the question of whether anyone in Utopia would even consider such a thing in an environment where everyone is eager to serve the country.

The intelligence agencies Huang Cao have spread across the country are not to be underestimated.

Moreover, as mentioned before, under the streamlined administrative arrangements, no institution in Utopia is a mere figurehead.

If one really reaches the upper echelons in this way.

Although the parties involved have received more wages and gained more power, they are also spending more time working every day.

If a person's work ability does not match their responsibilities, many difficult problems will inevitably arise during their tenure.

In time, the position that someone painstakingly obtained through bribery will fall into the hands of someone more talented.

Moreover, the clues will soon be discovered, because Master Huang's reporting mechanism is completely independent of the administrative system and can directly reach the highest levels of government.

Therefore, once discovered, the person involved will face certain death.

No administrative body is perfect, but the Huang Cao, as the faith of all citizens of Utopia, has enough appeal to inspire anyone to fight for it.

Leaders of other countries may only make empty promises, but Huang Cao's promises are always real.

Theresia, who felt she was quite capable, took a set of exam questions from three years ago for senior officials in Utopia.

Unsurprisingly, he scored 30 points.

Undeterred, she tried the exam papers for intermediate and entry-level officials.

As a result, she only scored relatively high on the entry-level official exam, and only got 30 points on the intermediate exam.
