Chapter 204: The Calm Before the Storm
The 1st Heavenly Noodle King Tournament concluded successfully.
Just seeing the number of tourists who came to watch the tournament brought a satisfied smile to my face.
In this era, the cost of a single trip is by no means small.
Meaning, those who came to Han-Jung to watch the tournament had a certain level of economic power.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the combined cost of their food and lodging alone covered the expenses of holding today’s tournament.
But that’s not all.
Once this throng of people disperses, word of this tournament is sure to spread far and wide.
We’ll need to gauge public opinion through Hao Wen to know the details, but significant promotional effects were anticipated.
‘Now I see why they hold regional festivals.’
While local festivals in the modern world had become almost meaningless due to everyone holding them, here in the martial arts world, it had truly hit the mark.
Thanks to this, I decided to award a substantial bonus to the Military Affairs Department that had submitted the initial proposal.
“Heh heh heh, let’s go quench our thirst for the first time in ages.”
“Heh heh, I wonder if Lord Jin will recognize our contribution.”
“It’s quite amazing how satisfying it feels without getting blood on your hands. Heh heh heh.”
“……”
I suppose I should also take care of the Red Dragon Hall guys working as contract employees in the Military Affairs Department.
‘If they say they want to transfer, I’ll have to accept it.’
