Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 455: Miserable Indian

According to the competition requirements, representatives from each country had to register at the "Arena".

Options related to registration would appear inside.

Fearing that any step might be missed, the conglomerates behind each nation insisted that their representatives check daily to ensure that their country was in the "Registered" status.

Unfortunately, all countries’ cultivators were short of spirit stone resources; if the representative’s negligence led to missing the registration, the likely punishment would be death as an apology.

"We currently have a population of 600 million, with two million cultivators, among whom 30,000 are at least at the Qi Refinement Stage, 6,000 at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and 51 at the Core Formation Stage. If we go into the national war with this lineup, I think we could at most make it to the top four!"

In the Eagle roundtable conference room, David, holding a data report, glanced at the other four conglomerate family heads and representatives of emerging small conglomerates from the second-tier regions, and he stated.

"We need to invest, pull in some loose cultivators, and try to enhance our overall immediate combat power because the national war is a war of attrition. Once someone dies, they are counted as casualties of this campaign and cannot fight in a second!"

"This means that population tactics are absolutely viable. Secondly, our comprehensive strength is strong, which can ensure that the number of casualties does not diminish quickly and allows us to last till the end among the hundred competing nations."

David looked around at all the representatives and said, "So I propose that we take the time to allocate resources to enhance the strength of loose cultivators. We need to ensure that our overall combat power at both ends does not become unbalanced. I’ve calculated that there could be hundreds of countries meeting the war standards, meaning that when we make it to the top four, we’ll have to fight at least five battles. If our grassroots loose cultivators are too weak, we might face a situation where we have a large number of forces eliminated before even engaging with strong nations."

"Don’t be stingy with how much you put in. I’ve calculated that if we make it to the top eight, the reward will be 1.8 billion spirit stones. Investors can take 70% of the prize pool, which amounts to about 1.26 billion spirit stones. Most importantly, if we can get into the top three, there’s a high chance of receiving Nascent Soul Pills as a reward! I’m sure this is your goal as well!"

All the representatives from various large and small conglomerates at the meeting couldn’t help but breathe faster, evidently stimulated by these rewards.

Similar conferences were being held vigorously all around the globe.

From the Country A side, several major conglomerate cultivators also spoke passionately: "Although our country has fewer cultivators, they are exceptionally tough. Just by eliminating two nations with a population of fifty million each, we could earn 100 million spirit stones. So, don’t hesitate, this national war is worth investing in! Don’t forget that Europe and other nations have been split up, meaning aside from Hairy Bear, Eagle, and the Sect Master Country, we actually won’t be weak against any other country. I think with some extra effort, we have the capability to make it into the top eight!"

If Country A is this enthusiastic, then why wouldn’t Japan and South America analyze in the same way?

Just making it to the top sixteen doubles the rewards, so who wouldn’t try for that?

While these countries were analyzing and researching other competing nations, they inevitably talked about one country: India!

In the East Middle Royal National Conference Room, mentioning the neighboring Indian, they just sneered, "Didn’t you see the competition requirements? You need at least 200,000 cultivators domestically, at least 5,000 at the Qi Refinement Stage, and also at least one at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"The Indian has not kept up since the ’Transfer Covenant’ project and consequently didn’t get cultivation resources. Most of their cultivators are loose cultivators and are generally at the Martial Artist Stage, completely failing to meet the registration requirements, what a waste of having a population of 1.6 billion!"

"It’s said that India has been restricted in cultivation until now, resulting in very few Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, definitely not meeting the participation requirements."

"What a pity for their massive population; if they can’t participate, they will miss out on a guaranteed reward of 1.6 billion spirit stones."

Someone suggestively proposed, "How about trying to migrate their population over here?"

Someone immediately shook their head and bitterly smiled, "No use, we’ve tried it already. The Arena system’s population count simply didn’t change, which means it defaults to not allowing changes in citizenship for mercenary work."

Speaking of which, "What’s India doing now?"

Someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Visiting countries around the globe, hoping to help them achieve some kind of strategic cooperation."

Indeed, the Indian representatives were now visiting all over the world.

Doing what?

Of course, seeking cooperation.

They wanted to compete!

They wanted to secure the guaranteed Spirit Stone reward.

But they needed to meet the competition requirements.

Even if they were just making a brief appearance, they would still receive a Spirit Stone reward for a population of 1.6 billion.

However, their cultivation resources had been blockaded early on; they simply couldn’t support 200,000 cultivators and 5,000 people in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Thus, the Indian representatives visited Eagle, Hairy Bear, Europe, and South America among other countries’ powers.

Hoping they could support them with some resources.

Resources like elixirs, allowing the Indians to meet the standards to register for the competition.

For this, they were willing to give half of the 1.6 billion Spirit Stones to their sponsors after the competition.

But, they were rejected by several countries.

Their analysis said, "Your 1.6 billion Spirit Stones, at the current rate of 30 million RMB per stone, amount to 4.8 trillion RMB. If the National War rewards increase the supply of Spirit Stones, this unit price might even drop lower; perhaps in the future Spirit Stones might return to ten million RMB each, then they would only be worth 1.6 trillion RMB."

"But think about it, just lifting 5,000 people to the Qi Refining Early Stage, with the current elixir prices, just elevating from Martial Artist First Grade to Innate would cost 80 million RMB, advancing to Qi Refinement would fail who knows how many Breakthrough Pills. Conservatively estimating 300 million RMB per person; that’s 1.5 trillion RMB for 5,000 people, equal to your National War rewards. You’re only giving us half, we might end up at a loss!"

"Plus, all countries are currently pushing resources in; how could they possibly spare some to help you?"

"And the elixir resources you need have to be obtained from the Pill Association; we simply don’t have such ample resources to satisfy your needs. Rather than partnering with us, it would be better to plead with the Great Expert; only if he speaks up will the Pill Association lift the resource blockade against you."

Having had the door shut in their face, pushed to the brink by the national petitioning pressure, their representative eventually had no choice but to run to Shencheng City and kneel Continuously for several days on the main road of Gu Mansion Garden.

Pleading with the Taoist Ancestor Gu Feng to lift the cultivation resource blockade for the Indian populace.

All citizens of India also spontaneously kneeled in front of the media cameras, in their country’s streets or at their doorsteps, hoping for the Great Expert’s mercy.

But in reality, if India hadn’t brought it up, Gu Feng might not even have remembered that this country’s resources were under blockade.

Eventually, by his nod, two families with Star System backgrounds, Ye and He Offerants, agreed to sell elixir materials sufficient up to the Qi Refinement Realm to the Indian Country at prices higher than the market rate, and then the Pill Association intervened to help with the refining.

India was fleeced twice before finally meeting the competition requirements.
