Chapter 330 - 149: Paw Patrol Saves the World (6k)
Lu Wenwu continued to read further.
It seems that the stuff in this contract isn’t entirely against the natural order; there are quite a few interesting things.
A Yellow Springs Warrior has their own Super Destroyer and can command a crew to serve them, with a dedicated vehicle and personal pilot.
During combat, air support can be called every few minutes, and the Bid Points used in just one mission are enough for an ordinary citizen to live well for a year.
Seems good at first, but the annoying part is that you need to buy upgrades yourself, and if you die, other Yellow Springs Warriors will inherit your legacy.
If the ship breaks down during non-combat times, you have to pay for repairs out of pocket, but your salary is tied to the missions — the more you complete, the higher your pay.
Lu Wenwu pondered a bit and thought, this isn’t just an Overlord clause, it feels more like self-financed working!
What happened to democracy?
Why do I need to pay out of pocket to upgrade my equipment for wars?
Wait a moment...
As Lu Wenwu grumbled inwardly, he suddenly remembered a certain country that claims to be the world’s beacon. In their military, if you want to use powerful equipment, you seem to have to pay for it yourself...
Otherwise, it’s just the Basic setup.
Alright, alright, it turns out I was narrow-minded, the Superhuman Federation is indeed overly democratic!
True democracy resides in the Superhuman Federation!
Lu Wenwu then continued to read further, surprised to find there were more experts ahead of him.
There’s a clause that is both devious and smoke-inducing.
Basically, it says: even if you know the contract is against the norm, you can’t tell its contents to others or spread it by any other means.
If you divulge it, that’s considered treason, and you’ll be handed over to the Ministry of Truth.
Although Lu Wenwu doesn’t know what the Ministry of Truth is.
But it sounds quite ominous.
Lu Wenwu carefully looked at the form thrown over by the reception lady earlier and found that becoming a Yellow Springs Warrior isn’t entirely without benefits.
Moreover, within the social structure of the Superhuman Federation, Yellow Springs Warriors gain social status and resources far beyond ordinary citizens.
Just talking about mission rewards.
If one completes a Level 9 Task perfectly, one could earn about eight thousand Bid Points.
Bid Points are the official currency of the Superhuman Federation, possessing strong purchasing power.
Furthermore, during missions, there’s a chance to pick up Lost Priority Super Currency from other citizens.
This is high-end stuff completely inaccessible to ordinary people, only circulating within the upper classes.
To buy truly rare items, Super Currency is indispensable.
Additionally, once formally becoming a Yellow Springs Warrior, an enlistee and their immediate relatives automatically upgrade to C-level citizenship and gain 4.5 Citizen Points.
Yes, in this democratic and free country, citizens are actually ranked!
Lu Wenwu doesn’t know how low the lowest is; he only knows the enlistment standard is E-level.
Which means there is certainly a level lower than this.
Is this managed democracy?
Such a strict class barrier, this is even more cyberpunk than cyberpunk...
Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but sigh and continued flipping through the appendix.
Citizen Points seem quite valuable, similar to faction contribution, one Citizen Point can be permanently exchanged for annual home visits by a doctor.
It’s effective until death.
For social class leaps, Citizen Points are also crucial, plus you need to contribute correspondingly to the Superhuman Federation.
Calculating it this way, these 4.5 points are indeed precious.
It seems that becoming a Yellow Springs Warrior is already the best solution for civilians to elevate their own class.
But saying Citizen Points are super valuable...that’s not necessarily true.
Lu Wenwu found a rule that says after verification, reporting a treasonous statement can earn the reporter 1 Citizen Point.
That’s a bit...hard to judge.
Lu Wenwu flipped through more pages, and after understanding the rights and obligations of a Yellow Springs Warrior, he casually signed his name and tossed the folder back to the young lady.
I am the Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God!
No matter if people here accept it or not, he signed it like this.
The reception lady confirmed his signature with a sweet professional smile and gestured, "Dear Yellow Springs Warrior, please follow me for citizen status change."
"Technically, I haven’t completed the special training yet, so I’m not truly a Yellow Springs Warrior, right?" Lu Wenwu casually asked as he held Mao Mao’s hand and followed behind.
"No, no, no, you are already a respected Yellow Springs Warrior; just before completing final training, you have no military rank and cannot possess your own Super Destroyer." The reception lady smiled sweetly.
Lu Wenwu nodded casually and activated the Eye of Insight.
The hall was full of ordinary people, all at E-level strength.
While their citizenship rank in the Superhuman Federation was D-level.
It seems that even serving as a minor reception within this militant official military structure is better than being a citizen.
Lu Wenwu asked curiously, "Isn’t there a lot of benefits to becoming a Yellow Springs Warrior? You can directly upgrade your citizen level, don’t you consider rushing for it?"
"Sir is joking; becoming a Yellow Springs Warrior has indeed been a dream for every kid, but limited by innate conditions, not everyone has the courage like you do."
