The logistics of hosting a Heroes' Conference

I was kidding, there's no such thing as insurance in ancient China.

But even when Shaolin was at their absolute peak, which occurred in DGSD, their best active fighter still has trouble ranking in the top 10 at the time (I'm excluding the sweeper monk). Even a bum like You Tanzhi could threaten to beat their best fighter. And look at what a mess that meeting turned out to be: When something turned wrong, the monks couldn't do nothin' about it. They just stand and watch. Again, that was at their peak.

Well, Shaolin has a built-in advantage. No alcohol and meat! No women allowed to step inside, go sleep in the forest!

Their costs/logistics have a built in 175% buff.
