Chapter 489 Award Ceremony
"ah?"
Baan has been in a state of confusion. In fact, he has not yet understood what Tang Sen is talking about.
What a new city, what laws? Aren’t you all standing in the city of Neverwinter now? Where did the new city come from? Does Daggett Wujin know about this?
Moreover, you are not suitable for being a city lord or anything like that, no matter how you think about it, right?
Although my current strength is pretty good due to the legendary equipment, I am essentially just a level 5 dwarf warrior! Of course he is confident when it comes to drinking and cooking, but he definitely can't manage a city, right?
Could it be that the boss actually wants to build a gourmet city? Make all adventurers flock to you through delicious food?
Before he could react, Tang Sen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you don't object, it's decided."
"Don't worry, you will soon find out how wise your decision is."
"Ah? Boss, wait a minute -" Just as Barn was about to speak, Tang Sen had already changed the topic to other places.
"So, let's start planning the next step."
Tang Sen clapped his hands to focus everyone's attention: "I'm going to hold an awards ceremony."
"Award ceremony?" Cui Xi asked curiously: "Can we hold this kind of thing? I thought it was usually city lords or nobles who would have such an idea."
"It's like when we took the airship to Ximen City, the nobles of Ximen City were going to give us some badges or something."
"Why not?" Tang Sen smiled.
"Generally speaking, the badges issued by each city represent the city's recognition of adventurers." Barn finally intervened and said: "As for us, well, although we are somewhat famous now, but this It sounds weird no matter how you think about it, doesn’t it?”
"Who cares about the badge awarded to him by another adventurer?"
Tang Sen shook his head and said: "The award ceremony I want to do may not be the same as you imagined."
"What I want to do is to create a long-term, professional award for the entire Faerûn, and even for the entire multiverse in the future."
"For example, if a certain adventurer or a certain adventure team has done a deed that has a huge impact, then we can award him a best adventure team award, or a certain spell caster has a very important role in spells. Research, we can give him an annual Most Important Spell Research Award, something like that.”
"We can even give awards to other races. If a golden dragon has made outstanding contributions in maintaining justice and order, he can receive the Most Just Deeds of the Year Award."
"Of course, there is also the most important award, which is only awarded to the most famous and most contributory people of the year. It is directly called the Legend Award."
Tang Sen talked a lot about the settings of the award ceremony, but the three of them were just confused.
In the end, Barn couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt Tang Sen and said: "But... this still doesn't sound very attractive."
"What I mean is that if an adventurer really has a great adventure experience, he should be more willing to accept the admiration of other adventurers in the tavern instead of coming to receive an inexplicable award. What does this mean to him? What’s the meaning?”
He used his own experience as an example: "For example, since we prevented the invasion of the Abyss, we have indeed gained a lot of fame. We even had Ximen City take the initiative to issue Ximen's badge. Of course I want it, when I introduce it to others in the future. You can call yourself the owner of the Ximen Badge or something, but the best adventurer of the year? Others will just laugh, right?"
Tang Sen nodded and said, "Barn, you are right, but do you know the difference?"
He didn't wait for the other party to answer and said directly: "The difference is that Ximen City is very famous and everyone recognizes the badges issued by Ximen City, but our award is like a joke because we don't have any credibility."
"Ah?" Barn couldn't understand what Tang Sen was talking about again. He scratched his head: "So? In that case, why do we do this? I mean, even if we award a golden dragon, people will definitely not bother to care. We're not coming at all, are we?"
"This is the easiest problem to solve." Tang Sen spread his hands and said: "After all, the badges of other cities only give honors, but our awards ceremony also includes real money and silver in addition to honors."
"I plan to award 10,000 gold coins to the winner in normal awards, and the top prize will be 100,000 gold coins."
Barn: "."
"Wait, boss, do you want to hear what you are talking about?"
He opened his mouth wide: "How can anyone give away gold coins when awarding awards? What good is this for us?"
"And from what you think, this award ceremony won't just be held once?"
"That's right." Tang Sen replied seriously. I hope that a regular award ceremony will be held every year, and every ten years, I will hold a grander award ceremony for all adventurers in the multiverse. "
He thought for a moment and said: "For people at the legendary level, one hundred thousand gold coins may be a bit too little. Then one million gold coins should be worth their trip to Faerun to attend the awards."
"No!" Barn jumped up immediately: "Boss, I know you are very rich, but I really can't think of the meaning of giving money like this. With this money, we can build a very prosperous city."
"Does it mean anything?" Tang Sen looked at Trish and Naomi with a smile on his face: "What do you think this award ceremony means?"
"Of course the meaning is interesting~" Cui Xi said matter-of-factly: "It's interesting to think about being able to contact so many famous adventurers. Tang Sen, you are a genius! Anyway, it's just money, how about we reward some magic Props?"
Baan: "Miss Trish, do you think your thoughts are normal?"
Naomi thought about it seriously and said, "Is it to attract people to the city you want to build?"
She said: "Although I don't know much about business, if there are more people and the reputation is greater, more people will come. But I have a question. The same money seems to have a greater effect if used in other ways. .”
Tang Sen nodded happily and said, "Naomi, you hit one of the points."
"The establishment of a city naturally requires fame. With fame, there will be more people and it will naturally be more prosperous."
"But you haven't understood the most important meaning."
“That’s the awards show itself.”
Tang Sen said slowly: "My friend, imagine if our award ceremony became the most authoritative and important ceremony in the multiverse, and our awards became honors that everyone, even legends and even gods, flocked to. ——”
"What does that mean?"
