Chapter 1946 At Least There Is Still a Little Hope

If it weren't for the power of the law, this man would have wanted to slap the Lord of the Holy World in the face, but now he could only answer everything in detail, "I have endured it for half my life. I was going to continue to endure it. After all, I still have a life to live and a wife and children to support. But I heard that the situation in Dongshengmei is different. Everyone who goes there, whether they are from Shengmei, Shengde, Gu'an, or even the officials among them, will receive absolutely equal treatment."

"Everyone who goes there will be allocated a piece of land like everyone else, and the government will help us build houses in advance, and enjoy convenient medical and social services. In addition, everyone will enjoy the same 28-level salary management system. Everyone will receive different merit points based on their contribution to society, and they can upgrade their salary level based on the merit points."

"But even the salary of the 28th level is only 50 times higher than the salary of the first level. That is to say, the richest person in Dongshengmei is only 50 times richer than me. Even the lowest salary of the first level can guarantee all the living materials needed to support myself and a child. It's just that life is not so affluent and there are no other excessive enjoyments, but life is definitely not a problem!"

"You can be respected there. Even officials will smile at you and respect your personality and dignity. Everyone is equal. I heard that even the mayor lives in the same neighborhood as ordinary workers, and everyone can see each other every day when they go to work."

"The most important thing is that you have the opportunity to gain power and immortality. As long as you serve the people more, you will naturally gain powerful power. And if you can gain the unanimous approval of the people, you can also become a God or a Heavenly Lord through the representative vote, become a senior cadre of the Tongshi Group, and have a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years."

"These are things I never dared to think about in West Saint America, or even in the Saintly World. After learning that people in East Saint America lead such an enviable life, I couldn't stay in West Saint America for even a minute. For my freedom and dignity, I took the risk and fled to East Saint America with everyone else."

"Nonsense!" Seeing this person getting happier and fascinated as he spoke, the Lord of the Holy World couldn't help but sneer and said, "Humph, this kind of talk is only meant to fool fools like you."

"Absolute equality of dignity and personality? That's simply impossible. The strong will naturally despise all the weak. This is the law of nature and something that cannot be changed. But I don't bother to refute these things. I'm just curious about one thing. Why do you think the 28-level salary system is reasonable and fair?"

"According to what you said, the salary system for level 26 is promoted based on merit. This is actually similar to the meritorious military rank system in our world. The more merits you have made in the war, the more you will be rewarded with the corresponding military rank."

"But merits are ultimately assessed by people. Assuming your merits are assessed by your factory, the factory would need at least 3 to 5 staff members who are dedicated to calculating merits, and there are probably hundreds of millions of such staff members in the world. Even if most of these staff members are fair and just and assess merits according to the standards, there are always some who do not follow the rules, or who want to please their superiors, or who embezzle the interests of their subordinates, or who receive bribes from certain people and artificially modify merits."

"Increasing the merits of those powerful people, or simply transferring the merits that originally belonged to you to them, how can that be fair? Isn't it full of tricks and disgusting things?" The Lord of the Holy World became more and more disdainful as he spoke, and then heard the other side sigh and say, "Yes, just like the merit election system in our Holy World, it is completely rotten!"

"..." The Lord of the Holy World froze in an instant, and the other party continued, "I get angry when I talk about this. I was also a soldier back then, and I followed the great Tianzu to attack the Fran World. Because of my bravery in combat, I was made deputy squad leader. As a result, our entire class encountered an enemy ambush when we were on a mission, and the squad leader personally covered our retreat and died." "What a good person he was. He had two daughters and a child at home, and they lost their father all of a sudden. We originally thought that with his merits, he would definitely get an Iron Cross medal and corresponding merits, so that after his death, his family would be properly taken care of."

"When the medals were awarded, our squad leader suddenly turned into a young man we had never seen before. He came to receive the award wearing a leather jacket, riding a motorcycle, and brought three hot girls with him. He took away the Iron Cross medal that originally belonged to the squad leader and all the bonuses."

"Later I heard that this man became the Attorney General of a certain state, and the reason why he was promoted was because he was a battlefield hero and earned an Iron Cross with his blood."

"From then on, I had no interest in the battlefield anymore. However, I broke one of my legs during a battle and retired to work. It would be fine if we fought for ourselves and our families. But in the end, we fought for those Junker nobles. Our lives and merits became stepping stones for their promotion. When I think of this, I feel that meritorious military ranks are meaningless. I even hope that the rubbish like the Holy World will be destroyed as soon as possible!" The man said with his head down, tears in his eyes, and the Lord of the Holy World next to him suddenly felt a little uneasy, and even a rare sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

But he soon got rid of this trace of guilt. It was normal for the system to have some flaws, and it was also normal for it to harm the interests of some people. However, if this mature system was changed rashly, it would cause greater trouble. Besides, at least this system could get the support of the Junker nobles, who were the core force of the Holy World. There was nothing wrong with the system itself.

All these mortals are going to die anyway, so it doesn't make much difference whether they die early or late.

"Okay, but this also proves that the merit system of Gu'an World must be the same as our system. Both are impossible to be fair and just. They are both just things to deceive fools like you!" The Lord of the Holy World finally put the blame on Gu'an World.

"But a friend of mine who has already escaped told me that because he helped Gu'an World get a set of Shengmei's unique equipment, he was directly rewarded with a large number of merits and was promoted to level six in one go... As a fugitive from Shengmei, he must not have any backing!"

"That's for you to see!" The Lord of the Holy World pointed out without hesitation.

"Then I have to see it with my own eyes to know!" He smiled sadly and said, "At least there is still a little hope here, right?"
