Chapter 378 Goblin Clan and Blacksteel Clan.

at the same time.

Jiang Chen also learned about the latest moves of the Holy See through Baka and the Sea King in the Western Fantasy Continent.

it is good!
Half a month had passed, and he was planning to send someone to talk to the Pope of the Western Fantasy Continent in person.

Unexpectedly, the other side was the first to succumb to the pressure and backed down.

This way.

The Spirit Continent will hold the absolute initiative at the negotiating table in the future!
After all, opening up to each other is not a matter for just one person in the Western Fantasy Continent. It's not something that can be decided by one person alone; it requires negotiation between both sides.

However, the Pope made a fatal mistake.

Before understanding the Spiritual Continent's view of the Western Fantasy Continent, they were pressured into enacting a law to indicate their willingness to open a channel for cooperation.

This undoubtedly exposes one's true intentions.

Or to put it more bluntly.

The Pope has absolutely no cards to play!

It's not that the Pope is stupid, but that she completely misunderstands this matter.

Where is Quinn?

"Uh"

Huang Wansan below took out his phone, sent a text message to ask, and then replied:

"Just came out of the pool hall, about to go online."

"Didn't you mention taking it back?"

"No."

"Ok."

What happened next was exactly as Jiang Chen had predicted.

The Pope, through Baka, repeatedly invited him to the Western Fantasy Continent to discuss the opening of the barrier between the two worlds.

Jiang Chen, who had the advantage in information, was in no hurry at all.

He displayed an attitude that he didn't care much about the Western Fantasy Continent at all.

Finally, the Pope even suggested that she could send someone to the Spirit Continent to discuss the matter.

After this back and forth five or three times.

Jiang Chen finally relented, feigning reluctance, and agreed to talk to the Pope.

As for the location of the negotiations...

With his exceptional skills and daring, Jiang Chen chose Black Dragon Island in the Western Fantasy Continent.

They are not afraid at all of the Pope, as the host, doing anything wrong.

On Black Dragon Island.

The two sides then engaged in another round of frantic bickering.

Both sides want to gain greater benefits.

It took a total of nine meetings to finally determine the general tone.

First, let's talk about personnel management.

Both parties need to open an "Exit Administration Office".

Comprehensive security checks will be conducted on all inbound and outbound passengers (including private storage spaces).

Furthermore, there is zero tolerance for illegal smuggling crimes.

At the same time, it is necessary to connect the various cities of the Spirit Continent with the territories of the various lords and human city-states of the Western Fantasy Continent to open train channels.

Of course, these things can't be rushed.

Even if it is opened, priority will be given to opening areas in the Western Fantasy Continent that have higher security.

This is beneficial to both parties.

Then there are the aspects that are beneficial to the Spirit Continent.

Infrastructure standards monopoly:

All modernization projects in the Western Fantasy Continent must adopt the "Wan San Standard," and the construction team must be certified by the Wan San Architectural Academy.

The Vatican must commit to not developing its own infrastructure system for at least a century.

Cultural export privileges:

Some verified accounts on the Douyin platform enjoy exemptions from content review for the "Western Fantasy Special Edition" (including but not limited to adaptations such as "The Dragon King's Son-in-Law" and "The Elf Queen Runs Away with the Baby").

The Vatican must remove all legal clauses related to "cultural invasion".

Talent attraction channel:

A special talent introduction program has been established, under which cultivators from the Western Fantasy Continent can obtain work visas (and settle in the Spirit Qi Continent) after passing the Wan San Group's examination.

Extension of Jurisdiction:

Extraterritoriality is implemented in trading ports such as Heilong Island, and cases involving citizens of the Spirit Continent are handled by the Wan San Arbitration Tribunal.

The Vatican Act does not apply to those employed across borders in the Spirit Continent.

of course.

The Western Fantasy Continent wasn't built in vain.

In addition to demanding that the Spirit Continent unilaterally provide infrastructure,

They must also establish various training courses to unconditionally teach their technology and civilization to the citizens of the Western Fantasy Continent.

If you apply to Wan San Group, the Western Fantasy Continent will enjoy special regional policy subsidies, and the admission score must be lower than that of the Spirit Qi Continent.

The Wan San Group's establishments in the Western Fantasy Continent, such as Paradise Land and Wan San Building, must employ more than 95% local staff (whose salaries must not be lower than the average salary in the Spiritual Continent).

"and many more!"

Jiang Chen had a problem with this:
"It's not that our Wan San Group is short of money, but maintaining the same salary is not conducive to unity between the two sectors."

"Oh? Hehe, what do you mean?"

The Pope sneered, picked up the glass of red wine beside him, and took a small sip.
"As far as I know, the prices of your Wan San Group's goods sold here are not cheaper than in the Spirit Qi Continent, are they? On the contrary, they are more expensive. Why can't you give us the same salary and benefits?"

"Ahem, that's right."

Jiang Chen kept it brief.

This shows that we should at least consider the feelings of the local cultivators!
What do you think about it?
As a veteran employee of the Spirit Continent who has worked hard for so long, I have finally achieved my current salary and benefits.

If you give the employees of the Western Fantasy Continent the same benefits as them from the start, what will they think?
The Pope let out a soft "hmm":
"You're right on that point; it was my oversight. But you..."

"so!"

Jiang Chen made the decision and whispered in the Pope's ear:
"I plan to pay salaries in the Western Fantasy Continent at 50% of those in the Spirit Qi Continent, but we will give 25% of the remaining amount to Your Holiness the Pope to handle. What do you think?"

"cough!"

The Pope coughed lightly, noticing that everyone was arguing and no one was paying attention to them.

"In that case, it's good. High salaries are indeed not conducive to the people of the Western Fantasy Continent striving for success."

Both sides drafted thousands of similar proposals covering all aspects of the process.

This also made Jiang Chen realize it.

The pope in front of them, who was a mother, wasn't stupid either.

Her attitude was also very clear.

Do the sects and businesses of your Spirit Qi Continent want to come here and make money off us?

you can!

But we cannot be exploited.

And you must teach us your ideas and strategies for making money.

However, the two sides eventually reached a complete consensus on one of the issues.

Goblins and Darksteel are not included in the above privileges.

Only then did Jiang Chen realize the truth.

It turns out that goblins, these creatures with no human rights, are not the only ones. In the Western Fantasy Continent, there is another special species living in primitive tribes and barren deserts—the Blacksteel Clan.

Moreover, these two tribes have another thing in common.

That means they're disliked by people and dogs, and they're not very bright.

The Blacksteel Clan, in particular, appears to be primates, but their brains are incredibly stupid, as if they are underdeveloped.

Jiang Chen and the Pope exchanged a knowing smile.

The views of these two groups and the subsequent arrangements are left unsaid.

Of course.

In order to uphold the ideal of equality among all races on the Spirit Continent.

The final supplementary regulations for Goblins and Blacksteel will not be published.

After seeing the plans announced by both the Spirit Continent and the Western Fantasy Continent.

People from both sides were absolutely thrilled!
The cultivators of the Spiritual Continent had long known that the merchants who had previously held trade fairs in the Western Fantasy Continent had made a fortune.

Now it's completely open.

Each of them has the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Not only is the population large there, but the business and labor costs are also very low, allowing for a slightly higher selling price.

The same item would only earn 5 spirit stones in the Spirit Continent after deducting costs, but in the Western Fantasy Continent, it might earn 50!

The opportunity for takeoff has arrived!
But it's well known.

Everyone is winning, but only one person can win every time.

That's the Civil Engineering guy!

It's really numb!
The "ma" in polio!

Previously, Xiyu's projects enabled many civil engineering professionals to achieve upward social mobility.

This is a whole new continent!

Moreover, it is a monopoly on infrastructure, and the Vatican is not allowed to develop its own infrastructure system for a century.

In other words.

Their civil engineering department will usher in a period of rapid development and prosperity that will last for a century!

The admission score for the Civil Engineering Department of Wansan University has been raised by nearly 30 points, making it one of the most popular majors at present.

The people of the Western Fantasy Continent were also very excited.

Complete opening up will not only allow them to embrace civilization and enjoy various benefits, but also to learn about the advanced knowledge of the Spirit Continent, and even directly apply to the Wan San Group!
And I've heard that even a dishwashing employee can earn several thousand magic crystals a month!
You should know that before this...

Many poor people earn only a few hundred magic crystals a year.

This kind of treatment was something they never dared to dream of before.

Both sides were celebrating.

They all felt like they had hit the jackpot.

Only the sea creatures.

In half a day, the Sea King had already smoked four packs of Liqun cigarettes.

Everyone is doing well now.

Only his Atlantis was immobile.

Those noble lords are only willing to enjoy the various benefits of the Spirit Continent, but are unwilling to give up even a little bit of their own interests; their political awareness is really too low.

His idea to push the entire underwater civilization toward the Spirit Continent was met with opposition from countless people as soon as it was proposed.

There is only one reason.

That is, these noble lords stubbornly believe that the lowly people at the bottom of the sea cannot enjoy the same rights and services as them.

And threatened Aquaman.

If he remains stubborn, they will overthrow Aquaman's regime and install some deep-sea overlord as the new Aquaman.

This blatant threat shows a complete disregard for Aquaman.

This is also a loophole in the ruling regime left over from Atlantis.

However, his furrowed brows quickly relaxed.

Regarding the marine market.

Jiang Chen attaches great importance to this, and the general policy direction on the mainland has now been determined.

The next step is to address the ocean issues.

This matter is urgent!
He directly informed Aquaman that he would send the Holy Lord and a group of experts to liberate the ocean within a week and realize the plan for the co-prosperity of the two worlds.
