Second Level Citizens, the Privileged Class

Second Level Citizens, the Privileged Class

"Goddess of Wisdom?"

Song Wuyang's expression turned grave.

As one of the three Ultimate Intelligent Goddesses, the Goddess of Wisdom held the highest authority not only in the surrounding starfields.

Even across the entire Cosmic Human Civilization, the Goddess of Wisdom was one of those with the greatest authority.

"What could the Goddess of Wisdom want with me at this hour?"

Song Wuyang guessed inwardly.

Every action taken by the Goddess of Wisdom was the result of countless calculations by her AI.

Nothing she did could possibly be meaningless.

"Could those alien races have attacked?"

Song Wuyang frowned deeply.

Several months ago, the Universe Human Alliance had detected traces of alien races in the nearby starfields.

That was why it had launched a recruitment campaign, hoping to eliminate them as soon as possible.

"Put it through."

His thoughts churning, Song Wuyang chose to accept the call.

In truth, with the authority possessed by the Goddess of Wisdom, even if he refused the call, it would have been meaningless. She could have forcibly connected it anyway.

The so-called right to "accept" a call had been proposed hundreds of thousands of years ago by a certain Star Lord, who had cited the protection of citizen privacy and stubbornly applied to the three Goddesses for it during the once-a-century Charter Assembly.

Even though this right was practically useless,

It was not as if choosing not to accept a call truly meant it would not connect.

Still, it at least served as a fig leaf, preventing the voices of the three Goddesses from suddenly sounding beside someone's ears while they were engaged in private matters.

The moment Song Wuyang chose to accept the call,

A chime rang out.

"The Goddess of Wisdom has connected."

Song Wuyang steadied himself, arranged his posture, and carefully asked, "It's so late. May I ask what business the Goddess has with me?"

The three Ultimate Intelligent Goddesses of Cosmic Human Civilization were the Goddess of Freedom, the Goddess of Justice, and the Goddess of Wisdom.

The three Goddesses governed different domains. The Goddess of Freedom oversaw invasion and expansion, the Goddess of Justice oversaw law and decision-making, and the Goddess of Wisdom oversaw civilian affairs and logistics.

Each of the three Goddesses performed her own duties, jointly supporting the brilliant and dazzling Cosmic Human Civilization of today.

"According to Article Sixteen of the Charter, when a brand-new Evolutionary Path with potential reaching Tier 3 or above is discovered, the Goddess of Wisdom and the person with the highest authority nearby shall jointly discuss and make a decision."

The solemn voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.

Song Wuyang's pupils contracted slightly. He immediately asked, "You mean that a brand-new Evolutionary Path has been discovered, and it has the potential to reach Tier 3?"

As an Archon, Song Wuyang received new Evolutionary Paths every day for review and authorization.

However, nearly all of them had very low potential. Most were Unranked Evolutionaries, and discovering one that reached Tier 1 was already exceptionally fortunate.

No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom had contacted him so solemnly outside working hours. Song Wuyang's expression turned thoughtful.

If it had merely been an ordinary Evolutionary Path, the Goddess of Wisdom would have made the judgment herself and waited for Song Wuyang to authorize it when he returned to work tomorrow.

But its potential had reached Tier 3. So-called potential did not refer to the current upper limit of an Evolutionary Path, but rather the future upper limit simulated by the Goddess of Wisdom through her immense computational power.

Any Evolutionary Path with potential reaching Tier 3 or above represented the future and wealth of all Human Civilization. Through such an Evolutionary Path, Tier 3 Evolutionaries might be born.

"Correct."

The Goddess of Wisdom replied, "Archon Song Wuyang, please look."

Layers of light screens immediately flashed continuously before Song Wuyang.

They displayed the Innate Chapter and Grandmaster Chapter of the Martial Scripture submitted by Lin Yuan.

"This?" Song Wuyang frowned.

He was also a powerful Evolutionary himself, and he immediately recognized the terrifying potential of the Martial Path of Evolution represented by the Martial Scripture.

It had few external requirements and barely required any "aptitude."

Even if one ultimately failed to become an Evolutionary through this path, one could still use it to strengthen the body and improve one's health.

It was highly accessible, had virtually no restrictions, and possessed no apparent shortcomings.

Unlike certain extreme Evolutionary Paths that were too heavily specialized, it would not become completely powerless merely because someone targeted its weaknesses.

"The Grandmaster Realm of this Evolutionary Path should already meet the standard of a Ranked Evolutionary."

Song Wuyang made his judgment.

Regardless of the Evolutionary Path, Evolutionaries were divided into Unranked Evolutionaries and Ranked Evolutionaries.

Although Unranked Evolutionaries were also Evolutionaries and possessed power beyond the limits of ordinary people, their strength was far inferior to that of Ranked Evolutionaries.

"This Evolutionary Path should be able to enter Azure Wave Star's Evolution Chart, right?"

Song Wuyang asked tentatively.

The Azure Wave Evolution Chart recorded every Evolutionary Path born on Azure Wave Star during the eight hundred and twenty thousand years since it had become a life-bearing planet suitable for habitation.

"According to the calculations and statistics of the Supreme AI, the Martial Path of Evolution can rank ninety-third on the Azure Wave Evolution Chart."

The voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.

"It really entered the Evolution Chart?"

Song Wuyang's expression became slightly complicated.

The Azure Wave Evolution Chart recorded the hundred strongest Evolutionary Paths in Azure Wave Star's history.

These hundred Evolutionary Paths had withstood the test of long years, and their rankings rarely changed.

At least since Song Wuyang became Archon, the Azure Wave Evolution Chart had never changed.

"According to Article Eighty-Six of the Charter, regarding support policies for the development of brand-new Evolutionary Paths, the developer of this Evolutionary Path shall be awarded two thousand Merit Points."

"Does Archon Song Wuyang agree?"

The Goddess of Wisdom's voice was solemn and dignified.

"Two thousand Merit Points?"

Song Wuyang fell into thought.

Merit Points were the most valuable "currency" in the Universe Human Alliance, distributed directly by the three Goddesses.

In Human Civilization, Merit Points could accomplish nearly anything, such as raising one's citizen rank. If one possessed enough Merit Points, one could even command the three Goddesses.

Of course, the distribution of Merit Points depended entirely on one's contribution to Human Civilization.

The more Merit Points one had, the greater one's contribution to Human Civilization. Naturally, one could enjoy the corresponding privileges.

The Goddess of Wisdom's decision to reward the developer of the Martial Path of Evolution with two thousand Merit Points made Song Wuyang realize that he had still underestimated this Evolutionary Path.

One had to know that an ordinary Evolutionary Path with Tier 3 potential normally earned only eight hundred to one thousand Merit Points.

Very few exceeded one thousand Merit Points.

Much less directly receiving two thousand Merit Points.

"I agree."

Song Wuyang nodded.

The Goddess of Wisdom would not show favoritism. Since she believed it was worth two thousand Merit Points, it was certainly worth two thousand Merit Points.

Inside the room,

Lin Yuan was still sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"I'm still a little hungry."

After finishing some snacks in the room, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

Just then, a solemn and dignified voice sounded.

"Esteemed citizen Lin Yuan, the Martial Path of Evolution you uploaded has been evaluated."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan immediately perked up.

The Martial Path of Evolution had been created after he spent twenty years in the Martial Arts World integrating and mastering everything he had learned.

It was Lin Yuan's final "fruit of the Dao" from the Martial Arts World.

Lin Yuan also wanted to know the value of this Evolutionary Path within the Universe Human Alliance.

"Citizen Lin Yuan, according to the evaluation, the Martial Path of Evolution possesses theoretical Tier 3 potential, has an extremely broad reach, and is worth two thousand Merit Points. Shall the reward be issued now?"

"Two thousand Merit Points?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

He had long understood the value of Merit Points.

Personally bestowed by the three Goddesses of Human Civilization, they represented the highest honor and could be used to raise one's citizen rank.

As for two thousand Merit Points, that too greatly exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

One had to know that Merit Points could purchase nearly all restricted resources.

On the underground black market, a single Merit Point could often sell for tens of millions at an astronomical price.

Even if two thousand Merit Points were sold cheaply on the black market, they would still be worth tens of billions.

"Merit Points have been issued."

After the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded,

Lin Yuan immediately discovered that the Merit Points section of his account, which had previously displayed nothing at all, now showed the words "two thousand."

"Raise my citizen rank."

Lin Yuan began operating the system.

Although Merit Points were extremely valuable, their most important use was still raising one's citizen rank.

Using Merit Points as currency to buy things, or exchanging them for money through the underground black market, was completely shortsighted.

Once one's citizen rank rose, would money still be difficult to obtain? At the very least, Lin Yuan knew that Second Level Citizens and above could receive interest-free loans of tens of millions from the Central Bank every year.

In fact, in many places, simply lending one's name as a high-level citizen could bring in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in income every year.

As Lin Yuan began raising his citizen rank, the voice of the Goddess of Wisdom sounded again.

"Universe First Level Citizen Lin Yuan has used one thousand Merit Points to advance to Second Level Citizen."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Advancing from First Level Citizen to Second Level Citizen required one thousand Merit Points.

Advancing from Second Level Citizen to Third Level Citizen required five thousand Merit Points.

Although he had not advanced to Third Level Citizen, Lin Yuan was already very satisfied.

Second Level Citizens already surpassed more than 99.9 percent of all citizens. Under normal circumstances, only one Second Level Citizen would emerge among tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of First Level Citizens.

They were truly a privileged class, one in hundreds of thousands.
