Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 456: Pre-war Mobilization

"When Indian qualified for the competition, the happiest were undoubtedly the other countries around the globe.

After all, everyone was hoping they might randomly draw Country A as their opponent.

Because if they eliminated their opponent, they could receive a spirit stone reward matching the opponent’s population.

Facing their lineup of five thousand Qi Refinement Realm cultivators was like receiving welfare with one’s eyes closed!

One could say that any country that met the competition requirements wanted to step on Indian.

On online forums, everyone was praying not to draw Hairy Bear, Eagle, or Dragon Nation as their first-round opponent.

Everyone was praying to just hang in there and then try to compete.

But the posts from netizens of each country would always end with a line: "If we draw Indian in the first round and take down their 1.6 billion spirit stones, we could basically meet our annual targets."

The attitude of wanting to bite off spirit stones from Indian like a stray dog passing by made the Indian netizens furious.

Even netizens from Touguo, who are always the most hated online, couldn’t help but post to mock Indian.

So, the Indian netizens counterattacked the Touguo netizens: "Weren’t you all rebellious against Brother Long? How come you’ve turned around and become someone’s dog?"

Touguo netizens: "This is called being a wise man who recognizes the times. We have a history of being a vassal state to Brother Long for 1500 years, we’re just returning to history, and there’s nothing shameful about it. On the other hand, you, aren’t you stubborn to the core? Wanting welfare policies but unwilling to lower your stance, how come you’re kneeling at your doorstep this time?"

Touguo netizens: "Best not let us draw you in this National War, a country without even a single Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator; any Core Formation Realm from our conglomerate could wipe you out in seconds!"

Indian netizens: "Don’t be too proud, just wait. The Great Experts have now lifted the resource embargo on us, and soon we will catch up with you. Not just in the National War, in the Arena, every thief I see from your country, I’ll eliminate one!"

Little Sun netizens: "By the way, does your country have an Arena?"

South Yue netizens: "Hahahaha, let alone an Arena, they don’t even have a Teleportation Array. Within the entire globe, barring a few sparsely populated countries, they’re the only country that has nothing." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The first National War didn’t have any comprehensive strength assessments, so it was random.

That means strong nations could encounter other strong nations in the first round.

With less than 10 days until the National War, all countries had their opponent’s name appear in the sky above!

For instance, if Touguo drew the Soccer Kingdom, Brazil, the Brazilian sky would display the name of Touguo.

The whole net was asking at the first moment: "Who drew Indian?"

Soon, a netizen from a small South American country, Suriname, posted a video.

Above their heads, the name of their opposing country was none other than Indian.

Netizens worldwide wept with envy.

"Suriname’s population increased the birth rate from 700,000 to around 2 million, and their cultivators are less than 220,000. If they eliminate Indian, these cultivators can divide among themselves 1.6 billion spirit stones, damn, that’s so freaking cool!"

"I did the math, without investors taking a cut, one could get 8000 spirit stones per person, damn, considering the average cultivator spends 15 to 30 a month, their populace could sustain themselves for at least 15 years!"

"My eyes are bleeding from envy."

The major high-caste financial groups of Indian, seeing these comments online, were livid.

"We can lose, but we absolutely cannot be eliminated by a small country of only 2 million people; pour in money, there are still 10 days, enough for us to purchase Magical Treasures and various kinds of Elixirs to advance our realms and breakthroughs!"

A few high-caste financial group executives from Indian indignantly said: "We’ve already got the information on Suriname’s cultivators, their top Combat Power consists of only 58 Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, with at most five being mid-stage Foundation Establishment; they have 13,000 Qi Refinement Realm experts, and I think we totally have the power to elevate our mid-tier strength for battle."

Of course, alongside this blood-boiling enthusiasm, they also had to face reality, as someone frowned and said, "But those large families don’t lack cash money, and we don’t have extra spirit stones on hand to buy Magical Treasures and Elixirs from the guild... eh..."

Someone suggested: "If it really doesn’t work out, let’s try to get a loan from those families that have spirit stone resources. Don’t forget, we have a guaranteed 1.6 billion spirit stone reward. If we offer a higher interest rate, I think it can be done."

This idea immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

"But now spirit stones are scarce among the major families globally, whom do we borrow from?"

"The Star System Lord Families!" An Indian delegate spoke clearly and decisively: "The Ye and He families have been mining for several years; they surely have enough spirit stone reserves to lend us."

Meanwhile.

On the Suriname side, their Cultivation high-level executives were surprised to hear about Indian’s move: "What did you say? They went to Dragon Nation to borrow spirit stones?"

As the world’s center in Shencheng City, all the major powers had outposts and could receive various messages at any time.

An intelligence officer nodded: "Yes, they approached the Ye and He Star System Lord families on Earth and secured a loan of spirit stones at twenty percent interest."

"Damn!" The Cultivation high-level executives in Suriname frowned: "If we lose, won’t we become the laughing stock of the world? A duck that was practically in our mouths, surely it’s not going to get away?"

With this thought, the people present could no longer stay calm.

"Make a trip to the headquarters of South America’s Cultivation Alliance, I want to meet the other Clan Leaders, in the hope of getting their support. Later, if we just take down Indian’s 1.6 billion spirit stones, we’ll just give some to the Alliance."

Since the countries knew their opponents, both sides had already started to mobilize and prepare a lot of assessments and analyses in secret.

If both parties are evenly matched, like Indian and Suriname now, it’s worth investing to take out the opponent.

If there’s a big difference, then choosing not to invest is also not a loss.

For example, those who got Dragon Nation, Eagle, or Hairy Bear as opponents just gave up immediately.

Especially those who drew Brother Long, they simply declared surrender.

Of course, there are dark horses in this National War.

For example, the female disciples from the Cold Moon Sect!

Don’t underestimate them just because their strengths seem to be in Mid-to-late stage Foundation Establishment, but you have to understand the value of the sect’s Cultivation secret techniques!

Among these individuals, Eileen, the top disciple of the Cold Moon Sect who has just broken through to Early-stage Core Formation, is the focus of attention from all countries.

As the one who, merely at Early-stage Foundation Establishment, was able to consistently top the power rankings in the "Arena: Foundation Building Channel," you can’t overlook her prominence in the National War.

As Peru’s national pride, once it was confirmed among other disciples from the Cold Moon Sect that Eileen would join the National War, Peru’s top officials personally went to Dragon Nation to welcome this gifted lady.

"Brothers, see you on the battlefield," Eileen said to her senior sect brothers from the 48 Peaks before she left to return to her country.

Her senior sect brothers, who were now at Late-stage Core Formation, chuckled softly, "Junior sister, don’t cry when it’s time.""
