Nine Decisions Proposal (4)
"To say there's absolutely no impact would be a lie."
"The downside of combining the qualifiers and the regular season is... you need to find a venue big enough to accommodate so many people."
"This isn't a place where you can just find Soul Arena to use as a competition venue."
"Even the square in front of the Soul Master Competition Spirit Hall, which has been the venue for the finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, cannot meet your needs."
"However, compared to the real difficulties, the problem of the competition venue is a minor one. Just the ticket price alone is enough to buy the venue... If you can't afford this expense, our Spirit Hall can also contribute a share. Anyway, when the Two Realms Soul Master Competition is held again in the future, the ticket revenue will be divided according to the investment ratio."
"A one-time expenditure is roughly equivalent to a lifetime of profit."
"Moreover, if everything really goes according to your plan, the Three Realms Soul Master Competition, the Four Realms Soul Master Competition, and the Five Realms Soul Master Competition are all a sure thing. It's definitely a win-win situation."
Qian Renxue sighed, clearly disappointed that she couldn't invest. The Spirit Hall wasn't wealthy either, as it had to pay its Soul Master every month. Even with the money demanded from the two great empires, the more than 70,000 Soul Master working within the Spirit Hall still needed to eat and receive salaries every month. The two great empires wouldn't provide that money.
The average monthly turnover is in the millions of gold coins.
If it weren't for the Spirit Hall interfering in multiple industries...
Even back in the generation of Qian Renxue's great-great-great-great-grandfather, they found the head of the Great Soul Arena, which spanned the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. He was the leader of the behind-the-scenes organization that controlled all the Great Soul Arena. He became a member of this organization through his own strength, enjoying a share of the shares just like the other members. Before his death, he tied these shares to the Angel Lineage. As long as the Angel Lineage continues and the Great Soul Arena remains intact, a large sum of money will be deposited into the card reserved by the Angel Lineage every year to support the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall cannot support more than 70,000 Soul Master.
If these 70,000-plus Soul Master suddenly lose their jobs.
I reckon the two empires will go to war the next day.
The 70,000-plus elderly women are not the problem; what is the problem is the 70,000-plus single young people who are being reorganized and reassigned. If two single elderly men can conjure up anti-aircraft machine guns by hand, then the 70,000-plus single young people are simply a disaster.
So, don't be fooled by the size and power of the Spirit Hall.
The landlord's family really had no surplus grain!
I swear on my life that I said this!
"How about I share some with you?" Ye Qingcang knew the Spirit Hall's difficulties. Although the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall had fared well in recent years, it was only because he had opened up numerous revenue streams for them. For example, the various auction houses and the so-called Great Soul Arena —a large portion of the participants were his Faceless Men. Driven by economics, he squeezed a portion of the money from the nobles. Combined with the previous confiscation of property— the Heaven Dou Palace Coup —that made the Spirit Hall wealthy. Naturally, the more ways to make money, the better. They were still confiscating the nobles in Heaven Dou, and after that, they would confiscate from the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Empire, then from the nobles of the Dou Two World Heaven Dou, and after that, from the Third, Fourth Dou Four Dou Two World: "Let's divide the investment into Dou Three parts: one- Dou Five for me, one-fifth for you, one-fifth for the Blue Tyrant Academy, one-fifth for the Sky Merchant Guild, and one-fifth for the Sun Moon Empire Academy. What do you think?"
"Money is a minor issue."
"We can talk about it later."
"The main issue is collaboration and resources."
"If I'm not mistaken... you want to use this opportunity to allocate resources between the Dou One and Dou Two World of Douyu according to their rankings, right?"
"For example: if we win five out of nine championships and they win four, we will receive five-ninths of the total resources, while they will only receive four-ninths. We can use this tactic to prevent a potential war."
In Qian Renxue's deep purple eyes.
Stars could be faintly seen twinkling.
"The idea is correct, but you also need to consider the possibility that winning all nine championships might deplete one side's resources." Ye Qingcang snapped his fingers and corrected, "According to my plan... we contribute nine-tenths of the known resources of our world, and they contribute nine-tenths of the known resources of their world, divided according to their respective worlds. If we win all nine championships, and these nine champions are willing to bring the resources back, then we can obtain all the known resources of the other world. Even if we can't take them all, for example, we can send people to mine certain mines. Within five years, the ownership of these resources will belong to us... In this way, we can ensure the reputation and image of the champions."
"No one would refuse a powerful being extending their blessings to all living beings, even if that's not their intention; it's still bringing glory to the nation... no, it should be said, bringing glory to our world and even our galaxy!" Qian Renxue immediately grasped Ye Qingcang's good intentions, but she still had one question, "However, if the number of champions is uneven, or if, after the other three realms merge, the nine champions are divided into five camps according to this convention, how will resources be allocated?"
"Let's make an assumption, and you'll understand."
"Let's say I have three championships."
"Let's say you have three championships."
"Let's say Elder Yu, Elder Ci, and Mr. Mole each have one championship. Three plus three plus three equals nine championships, right?"
"I want 30% of the resources you have."
"At this point, you have two choices."
"One is to use the three championships you have to offset the three championships I have, which is equivalent to invalidating the condition of six championships. No one loses anything, and neither of us has the ability to seize other resources."
"One is to use the three championships you have to extract an equal amount of resources from my resources, Elder Yu's resources, Elder Ci's resources, and Mr. Mole's resources to make up for your own losses."
"But what if they don't want you to give it up?"
"They can also use their championship to offset the championship you have."
"It's just that, since they only have one championship while you have three, if you really want certain resources and insist that they give them up, you can trade one for one and use the remaining two championships to take away 20% of the resources they have."
"What specific resources you acquire depends on what you want."
"This is calculated proportionally."
"It's not calculated based on resource value."
Ye Qingcang, in the most nonchalant tone, revealed the most cruel plan. Perhaps the world is inherently unfair, but enjoying the best resources without producing corresponding results is also a form of injustice. "Resources are finite. Everyone needs resources, but needing them isn't just about saying it; it's about proving one thing: that with these resources, I can do better than others who have them; that others can't cultivate geniuses, but I can; that others can't cultivate strong individuals, but I can. Of course, those who are capable should do more, but the core principle is... those who are capable must receive more!"
"If that's really the case..." Qian Renxue strongly agreed with this idea, because it wasn't just a rule upheld by the Blue Tyrant Academy, but also a principle maintained by the Spirit Hall. However, maintaining this principle required strength. "Intimidation and battle are inevitable!"
"It's as if the war has ever stopped." Ye Qingcang smiled and shook his head slightly. "Any peace is created by the strong..."
"That's true." Qian Renxue smiled as well, her bright, Star River -like purple eyes sparkling with emotions others couldn't decipher, a mixture of joy and reluctance. "This future still needs to be decided by you and me!"
