Negotiations That Didn't Follow the Script (3)
"In the past, the Soul Master Competition was open to all Advanced Soul Master Academy across the continent."
"I believe that the registration requirements can be relaxed a bit."
"Including all the major sects."
"Including major empires and kingdoms."
"Including Commoner Soul Master who represent individuals."
"The allocation of resources can be determined through the following process: registration → preliminary selection → Top Eight 128 → top 64 → top 32 → top 16 → eight winners → four finalists → the competition for the championship."
"Taking into account the difference between team and individual."
"And also the areas where each Soul Master excels."
"There should be two champions in each final, so there would be eighteen champions in Nine Divisions, namely the team champion and the individual champion. The two champions can be the same person, but the resource allocation remains unchanged."
Bibidong directly attacked the foundation of the Soul Master Competition.
The competition format needs to be changed from top to bottom and from the inside out.
Actually, Ye Qingcang had already told her about the arrangements on the way here. Although her feelings towards Ye Qingcang had always been rather complicated, the thought that this young man was the person her daughter and disciple liked made her want to drag Rakshasa God down from the Divine Realm and cut him into a thousand pieces. Even if she didn't cooperate and was even determined not to become a god, she had still been completely embarrassed in front of this young man who was younger than her daughter. Her dark history was hard to wash away, and she would feel so awkward every time they met. But putting aside her personal feelings, she also sincerely admired him and was impressed by his ingenious ideas.
Peace sought through compromise will lead to its demise.
Peace is achieved through struggle.
If she had met Yu Xiaogang instead of Ye Qingcang back then, perhaps that tragedy wouldn't have happened, because given his intelligence, he could have certainly helped her avoid it.
However, thinking about this...
Therefore, I have to mention it.
Many years have passed.
She eventually transformed from Dragon Slayer into Evil Dragon herself.
She could even understand what Qian Xunji did back then.
However, understanding does not equal acceptance.
The main point is to put yourself in her shoes. If a disciple she raised herself repeatedly opposes her for the sake of an outsider, especially if that outsider is a young, uncultured person who is clearly after money and connections, has little talent in cultivation, and is not a good match for her, she would also give that disciple a good talking-to. The best way to make a stubborn disciple submit in a relationship with the opposite sex is to force her to submit through a child, that is, to use the child to control her and gamble on her maternal instincts.
Therefore, Hu Liena should be grateful for three things.
First point: Her teacher is a woman.
Secondly, Ye Qingcang has a very good relationship with the Spirit Hall.
Thirdly: Hu Liena is receptive to advice.
Thinking of this, Bibidong expressionlessly cut off her thoughts. Yu Xiaogang's collusion with Evil Spirit Master made her realize how wrong she had been. However, she had also paid the price for her mistakes. Therefore, she would not forgive Qian Xunji, that scumbag teacher. But she would not direct this anger at Qian Renxue. Therefore, she did not deny the idea of this plan, just as she did not deny Ye Qingcang's character.
But after Bibidong laid the groundwork...
Before Bibidong could even serve the main course.
The Emperor of the Dou Ling Empire on Dou Two's side was getting restless. He coughed and, seeing that no one else seemed inclined to speak, he decided to take the liberty of saying, "I have some questions about this matter, and I would appreciate Your His Holiness the Pope... Winning the Individual Competition is straightforward, but how should the rewards for winning the team competition be distributed?"
"Their captain will be in charge of assigning them."
"A team can consist of seven people or more, with a maximum of ten people."
"There can be ten candidates."
"In other words, a team can have a minimum of seven members but a maximum of twenty. The number of players on the field cannot be less than seven or more than ten. If a team wins the championship, the team captain will selectively distribute the rewards."
"This is also a test of the team's trust."
"If the captain chooses to devour everything himself, it only proves that the other team members are blind. I also believe that after this, the captain will be disgraced and despised by the entire continent."
"Because no one will entrust their back to a teammate who would betray you for personal gain, this is the final test in team competitions."
Bibidong spoke eloquently.
Make your intentions clear and distinct.
Even those representing various forces, such as Du Busi, Xu Jiujiu, and Crimson Flame Douluo, nodded slightly in agreement with Bibidong's arrangement.
"What are the specific arrangements for the Nine Divisions?"
"If Commoner Soul Master are allowed to register for the competition."
"The number of people could be a concern."
"And the venue size for hosting the Soul Master Competition."
"Should we build it to accommodate 10,000 people, 100,000 people, or 1 million people?"
"And... where will it be located?"
Seeing that there were no further problems with the Dou Ling Empire and the other forces, Mu En, who was sitting in the main seat, took the initiative to bring the topic back, implying that he agreed to Bibidong's arrangement.
This is a simple and straightforward result.
Bibidong was also willing to accept it.
Or rather, she doesn't like arguing with others over such trivial matters.
His tone remained indifferent.
It was tinged with a hint of arrogance.
He answered Mu En's questions one by one, "Since the Nine Divisions are held sequentially, not simultaneously, even the Second Division, Third Division, and Fourth Finals, which have the largest number of participants, are expected to have no more than 200,000 Soul Master involved. Based on the calculation that the Two Realms Soul Master Competition is held once every ten years, even if a venue to accommodate 200,000 people is temporarily built, it should not be a difficult task for you all... As for the location, it will be divided according to the rotation between the two worlds. That is, the previous one will be held in the Dou Two World, the next one will be held in our Dou One World, and the one after that will return to the Dou Two World, and so on. The specific location will be decided by the various forces in the current world, whether or not to build the corresponding venue within their own territory... As a large-scale event involving hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of Soul Master Soul Master from two worlds over the past ten years, the economic conditions of the cities hosting the event will inevitably see a leap forward. You should all understand this, right?"
Xu Jiujiu and the others nodded in agreement.
Soul Master have incredible spending power.
Not to mention the chosen ones from the major empires, sects, and academies.
Even an ordinary Soul Master.
Their monthly expenses are equivalent to, or even more than, the expenses of an average family for a year. Although the value of a Gold Soul Coin has definitely depreciated compared to the Dou One, and its purchasing power has decreased, Soul Master earn and spend more accordingly.
In the Dou One World.
One Gold Soul Coin represents a family of three's annual expenses.
Moreover, there are many people whose annual income is less than one Gold Soul Coin.
The subsidy for Soul Master is one Gold Soul Coin per month.
Note: This is a free gift; no work is required.
The subsidies for Soul Grandmaster and Soul Elder are higher.
In the Dou Two World.
One Gold Soul Coin is equivalent to the expenses of a family of three for one quarter, or three to four months' worth of total household expenditure.
As for Soul Master, they lost their subsidies.
But as long as one is willing to be a dog for the nobility.
You get a few dozen Gold Soul Coin per month.
In short, disregarding dignity and the basic treatment of Soul Master, and only considering purchasing power, the purchasing power of 100,000 Soul Master is comparable to that of 10 million families. This would play a decisive role in the economic growth of any region. Although it may not lead to the classic scene of "paper becoming expensive in Luoyang," it would definitely provide a significant boost to a country's fiscal revenue.
Nobody turns down money.
This is true.
Regardless of stance.
