It's just that he hasn't made any suggestions for a long time.
Honestly...
The young city lord has so many ideas, he's a bit outpaced, and many times he finds them ridiculous. Not to mention the idea of replicating this "Ascension Conference," which is quite absurd.
Indeed, if this plan succeeds,
the benefits it brings would be immense.
But...
What kind of rewards must you prepare to attract all the top forces to come every year? This is initially purely pouring money in, without knowing when you'll break even.
Yet there's one thing he truly admires about the young city lord.
The mindset is really admirable.
He originally thought it was a terrible thing, but after the young city lord's analysis, it seemed to have turned into a good thing instead.
Since the young city lord took over, he has already executed many plans that he has to admire.
For instance...
The "Immortal Cemetery" plan alone brings a substantial Spirit Stone income to Central State City each year.
