Chapter 492: The First Solar Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix
The Barbarian Wilderness has now become a part of the Grand Sky Sect.So, of course, the Grand Sky Sect can't just let the Barbarian Wilderness remain barren.
Moreover, with the opening of Spirit Beast Island, the wilderness is no longer just a desolate land.
Building a grand city on Spirit Beast Island would undoubtedly be a huge profit, but given the vastness of the wilderness, if only one city is built, wouldn't the rest of the area still be wasted?
Thus, the Great Elder immediately sought out Dou Ding to understand if there were any unique attractions in the wilderness that could draw people in.
In response to this question, Dou Ding said, "I don't know..."
And even if I did know, it would be about the old wilderness. If you ask our Barbarian Tribe to recognize the current wilderness, we would definitely say, "This isn't our wilderness."
Listening to Dou Ding's considerations about the development of the wilderness, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up.
Chu Xinghe admitted he didn't understand development.
But while Chu Xinghe might not understand development, he understood consumption!
Building a Spirit Beast City would require a massive amount of resources.
Under Chu Xinghe's meticulous planning, wouldn't the brothers and sisters from the Earth and Wood Division take off on the spot?
Wouldn't the resources be consumed in waves?
What? You say it's a huge profit once built?
Don't worry about whether it's profitable after completion; just consider whether resources are consumed during construction.
I've given up on the continuous consumption route... it's simply unrealistic, so we've shifted from sustainable consumption to a hit-and-run approach.
Constructing a city requires enormous consumption.
And that's just the basic consumption. With such a large city, shouldn't we organize various activities?
As the saying goes, "Good activities ensure inevitable losses." Almost instantly, Chu Xinghe had a complete plan for activities in his mind.
So, Chu Xinghe immediately dragged Dou Ding to the Spirit Crane Palace.
Upon arriving at the Great Elder's place, Chu Xinghe found that all the Head Elders were present, and they were discussing the construction of Spirit Beast City.
Besides the Head Elders, Ma Liang was also there?
Seeing Xinghe's arrival, the Head Elders sighed, "We've been discussing the Spirit Beast City construction plan for days, but we didn't involve Xinghe because we doubted his abilities."
"It's mainly because Xinghe has been 'helping' the Cloud Soar Sect recently. Seeing Xinghe so dedicated to 'helping' the Cloud Soar Sect, we didn't want to distract him."
Yet today, Xinghe rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
The Great Elder couldn't help but sigh, "This child Xinghe... truly cares about the sect's affairs. For the sect's development, Xinghe doesn't delay for a moment."
Originally sitting at the end, Ma Liang quickly stood up and offered his seat to Senior Brother Xinghe, then quietly stood behind him.
Seeing Xinghe sit down, the Great Elder didn't waste any words and directly had Ma Liang explain the various plans discussed over the past two days to Xinghe in detail.
The construction of Spirit Beast City was already a done deal, requiring no further discussion. The main issue now was how to make Spirit Beast City famous in the shortest time possible after its completion, ideally causing a sensation across the Blazing Sun Continent.
In this regard, the Head Elders had proposed many suggestions over the past two days.
Elder He suggested moving the Grand Sky Sect's chambers of commerce there first and offering discounts to attract a large number of people to buy.
Elder Yu questioned Elder He's approach, as such tactics were common among various forces when building cities, essentially a cliché.
Other Head Elders proposed organizing a lottery event, following Xinghe's previous methods.
At worst, we could draw a Flute of Time and Space, which would surely attract countless people and even cause a sensation, right?
But this idea was also questioned. Drawing the Flute of Time and Space could cause a sensation, but let's not forget, how many Flutes of Time and Space does our Grand Sky Sect have?
Previously, drawing the Flute of Time and Space targeted major forces, and not many people came, so most sects got some, and everyone felt it was worth the trip.
But if we target the entire world, with such a large population base, even if we put all the Flutes of Time and Space up, how many would there be?
Those who win would be fine, but those who don't might say something... so this plan was also dismissed.
Listening to Ma Liang's summary of the discussions over the past two days, Chu Xinghe smiled.
"We'll organize the first Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix!"
Hearing Xinghe mention the first Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix, Elder He spoke up.
"Xinghe, are you suggesting a platform competition?"
"Elder He is correct."
"Xinghe... you might not know... such platform competitions have been organized many times by various parties, so the attraction may not be very high."
Although Xinghe proposed it, Elder He still expressed doubts.
Other Head Elders nodded in agreement, finding platform competitions uninteresting.
Young Chosen from various sides bring their spirit beasts to compete and vie for rankings?
What's there to see? Isn't this an overused trope?
But just as the elders were questioning, Chu Xinghe spoke up.
"Dear Elders, platform competitions are indeed boring, but please shift your focus. Why do we call it a Grand Prix instead of a platform competition?"
"Because our focus is not on the platform... but on the grand prize!"
Chu Xinghe then explained the true essence of the Grand Prix to everyone.
In the past, participating in various platform competitions promised fame, but was it really that impressive?
Look at the platform competitions organized by various parties... they all promised the world.
Do you want to be known worldwide?
Do you want to showcase yourself to the world?
Do you want more people to know you?
Come participate in our platform competition! You'll be the brightest dark horse tomorrow—such slogans have been overused.
Initially, some hidden talents might have emerged in platform competitions, attracting attention. But with the development of the Blazing Sun Continent, where do true talents have the chance to remain hidden?
Who would foolishly suppress their own talents?
Just because they're from a side branch?
Not nurturing talents but suppressing them—any family with a bit of sense wouldn't do that, right?
So now, across the Blazing Sun Continent, hidden dark horses are becoming rarer.
Platform competitions are still organized annually, but the results are predictable. You can almost guess the outcome by glancing at the registration list.
It's extremely dull and fails to attract much interest.
But our Grand Sky Sect's Blazing Sun Star Spirit Beast Grand Prix doesn't focus on the platform; our focus is on the grand prize!
This time, our Grand Sky Sect will show the world that our platform competition isn't about empty promises or clichés. We're raising the prize amount to an outrageous level.
Does our Grand Sky Sect lack a few prizes?
Listening to Xinghe's emphasis on the grand prize, the Head Elders were stunned.
Elder He immediately agreed, saying Xinghe's idea was spot-on. This Grand Prix would definitely attract people, and although Xinghe prepared a large prize pool, there's no need to worry about others taking it because we know the combat power of our Grand Sky Sect's spirit beasts, right?
No matter the prize amount, who can snatch the top positions from our Grand Sky Sect?
The Head Elders nodded in agreement with Elder He.
But before they could praise Elder He, Chu Xinghe spoke up.
Chu Xinghe immediately pointed out Elder He's mistake.
"Does our Grand Sky Sect lack a few prizes?"
"If we do it your way, regardless of the Grand Prix's success, how will others perceive our Grand Sky Sect?"
"Elder He, do you know why platform competitions have lost their appeal over the years?"
"In the first couple of years, Martial Emperor City organized platform competitions and sent invitations to various families, but what was the result?"
"Families sent disciples, but were they the strongest?"
"Not only were they not the strongest, but they were also randomly chosen."
"Why did this happen?"
"Because everyone knew that Martial Emperor City's platform competition wasn't truly fair. It was mainly a chance for the world to recognize their disciples."
"No matter how it was organized, their disciples would inevitably take the top spots and gain fame."
"Who wants to be a stepping stone?"
"If our Grand Sky Sect does the same, how will others view us?"
"Grand Sky Sect, is that all?"
"Organizing a Grand Prix, but your disciples take the top ten spots, and everyone else is just a runner-up. What's the point of such a Grand Prix?"
"So, if we organize it, it must be a sensation across the Blazing Sun Continent. We must ensure fairness, justice, and transparency!"
"Although our Grand Sky Sect disciples will participate, their rankings won't count towards the final Grand Prix rankings to ensure fairness, justice, and transparency."
"We want to show the world that our Grand Sky Sect is serious about this Grand Prix!"
"We're not promoting our disciples; we're giving the world a chance, allowing everyone to compete for the top spot. If you have the ability... the grand prize will be yours!"
With Chu Xinghe's explanation, the room fell silent, and everyone stared at him with wide eyes.
The breadth of Xinghe's vision... we can't compare to Xinghe...
