Chapter 235: As Long as Dai Hao Attacks, Everything Will Improve
"The value of twenty gold soul coins in Xingluo and Sun Moon is completely different it's like night and day. In Xingluo, gold soul coins have stronger purchasing power! So, a Soul Master earning twenty gold soul coins a year can live a good life there.
But in Sun Moon, if a Soul Master has that same income, their life would be extremely difficult. That's why I always say living in Xingluo is truly a blessing."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought, This is absolute nonsense. Xingluo's external propaganda was beyond ridiculous.
He still remembered how, back in the day, when Tang San first became a Soul Master, he happily went to the Spirit Hall to collect his stipend.
Thanks to his strength, Tang San received one gold soul coin per month which translated to twelve per year.
And considering the economic growth and inflation of the Douluo Continent over millennia, those twelve gold soul coins from back then were definitely worth more than twenty gold soul coins today.
Of course, when Tang San became a Grand Soul Master, his stipend increased to ten gold soul coins per month.
Even though Spirit Hall issued these payments on behalf of the two great empires, partially to win people over, it undeniably helped weaker Soul Masters survive.
But after Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall, many weaker Soul Masters lost a stable source of income.
Even in the original story, Huo Yuhao had to rely on grilling fish to make money after becoming a Soul Master, since he had no stipend to collect.
Truly despicable!
Even if Tang San was hellbent on destroying Spirit Hall, he could have at least kept the stipend system intact.
Why was it fine for him to enjoy collecting all those gold soul coins, improving his quality of life, but he refused to let future generations do the same?
This was the definition of flipping the table after finishing your meal!
And from Huo Yuhao's personal experience, gold soul coins actually had more purchasing power in Sun Moon than in Xingluo.
Due to the rapid advancement of soul tools, Sun Moon's economic growth had skyrocketed, making many goods cheaper than in other empires.
Zhao Wei continued, **"Of course, improving the treatment of talented individuals is something every royal family must consider.
I personally advised His Majesty to provide more benefits for talented individuals.
So, any Soul Master who is willing to pledge allegiance to Xingluo can receive financial aid from the royal family.
Of course, the level of aid varies, but if anyone is interested in discussing specific conditions, feel free to talk to me after the lecture.
My stance is simple everything is negotiable!"**
"In fact, even Soul Masters who have immigrated from Xingluo to Sun Moon can still receive these benefits, as long as they remain Xingluo citizens and are willing to meet with me."
It was true that some students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy were Xingluo immigrants.
In the past, immigrating to Sun Moon wasn't the norm among the Three Empires cases like Xuan Ziwen's parents were rare.
But ever since the last Continental Soul Master Tournament, immigration to Sun Moon had surged.
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhao Wei and thought, What kind of benefits can Xingluo even offer?
The only advantage Xingluo had over Sun Moon was soul beast resources.
But that was the least important factor, because anyone strong enough could enter Star Dou Forest regardless of nationality.
And the Xingluo immigrants to Sun Moon were mostly talented individuals.
If they could get into Sun Moon in the first place, they would have no trouble finding a teacher to guide them in hunting soul beasts.
No matter what conditions Xingluo offered, these immigrants weren't going back.
Anyone who flip flops between sides is bound to be distrusted.
Who knew what Xu Jiawei would do to them if they returned?
Judging by the original story, Xu Jiawei was no fool.
The host of the event frowned.
Why is this Zhao professor trying to poach people here?
He realized he couldn't let the discussion continue down this path, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Professor Zhao, I have another question. How do you view the relationship between Xingluo and Sun Moon? If war breaks out in the future, which empire has the higher chance of winning?"
Zhao Wei spoke in a booming voice, **"In my opinion, both empires should strive to avoid war and maintain peace.
After all, we are all humans if we fight among ourselves, won't the fierce beasts of Star Dou Forest simply sit back and laugh?
Human Soul Masters should coexist in harmony!"**
**"However, if war does break out, then I can say with absolute certainty
Even if Xingluo is at a slight disadvantage early on, as long as White Tiger Duke Dai Hao launches an attack, everything will turn around!
So I warn the Sun Moon Empire do not provoke Xingluo!"**
Since he was outside of Xingluo, he had to sound tough.
Otherwise, when he returned, it would be hard to explain himself.
The host pressed on, "It sounds like you have great confidence in White Tiger Duke Dai Hao?"
Zhao Wei responded firmly, **"Of course! White Tiger Duke Dai Hao is a military genius. If he leads the charge, there is no way Xingluo will lose!
As for the rumors criticizing him complete nonsense!"**
At this, Huo Yuhao instinctively turned to look at Juzi, thinking, Dai Hao is literally going to get wrecked by her on the battlefield later.
While it was true that Sun Moon's soul tools were far more advanced, Dai Hao being called a military genius was simply laughable.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't helped Dai Hao in the original story, Juzi would have already crushed him and marched straight into Xingluo City.
Some time later, the lecture ended.
The host escorted Zhao Wei to the residence arranged for him, while the students gradually left the hall.
Many of them wore amused smiles
Because according to Sun Moon's internal propaganda, Xingluo's national strength was already inferior.
So to most of the students, Zhao Wei's speech was pure fiction.
Keke stretched and stood up.
**"Juzi, let's go back to the lab. This so called 'Professor Zhao' is a joke.
He's called 'Little Yu Xiaogang'? What a joke.
Even I could've given a more useful lecture."**
Juzi shook her head. "No need, Keke. I still need to discuss some cultivation matters with Junior Yuhao."
Keke smirked, then gave Juzi and Huo Yuhao a knowing glance.
**"Alright, alright, I won't disturb you two.
If Teacher Xuan asks, I'll just say you had personal matters and had to take the day off.
Oh, and Juzi you should be careful. That Zimu guy is insanely jealous.
If he finds out you're getting closer to Junior Yuhao, he'll definitely be furious."**
Juzi frowned and quickly clarified, **"I have no interest in Zimu, and I don't base my actions on his feelings.
If I avoided doing things just because he might get jealous, I wouldn't get anything done."**
