Chapter 445: Human Value (2)
"Am I worth that much?!" After reading this valuation, he suddenly felt reluctant to die.
"Two hundred and twenty-eight thousand contribution points...that's more than 20 million Chinese dollars. It's a lie. It must have been a number just to deceive me."
The young man felt somewhat conflicted at this time. Although his family had been very wealthy, he was also somewhat self-aware and knew that he could not earn this money.
If you really want a young man like him, who is industrious and industrious, to work and make money... there is no such thing as a job for a high-class young man.
"You can also check the historical records to see if the value is decreasing every day?" The aunt, still holding a broom in her hand, explained to the young man like a customer service staff.
"What's going on?" The young man who wanted to commit suicide was taken into the ditch before he knew it, and he temporarily forgot about his plan to jump off the building.
He was stunned by this unconventional routine. The supervisors who came after hearing the news didn't seem to be persuading him at all, but more like a group of people selling the system.
"People have the value of time. Every day that passes is actually devaluing. Because life is one day shorter, there are fewer things that can be created. The only way to increase value is to continuously increase the value that one creates per unit of time. ." The aunt used the tone of telling chicken soup jokes, quoting words from the system like a preaching pastor.
"But why do we measure people's value in this way? If I don't create, will I have no value?!"
The young man looked down from the rooftop and saw that there were no onlookers as expected. Everyone was marching in a hurry, and no one cared that they were about to jump off the building.
There were no police or protective pads downstairs, it was like they didn't exist at all.
The uncles and aunts in front of them seemed to have been completely brainwashed. From their eyes, one could even see their devout faith.
Most of these people are the biggest beneficiaries of the new society. Before this, they almost all worked hard-working jobs such as cleaners and mobile vendors that made little money. Their daily lives were generally difficult.
After the implementation of the rationing system, even if the work remains unchanged and the intensity is still high, in the final analysis it has little to do with making a living.
Because as long as they complete the work assigned by the system, they can have a decent life, and the tasks issued by the system every day are only about 70 to 80% of their original workload.
Thanks to a large number of job cuts, redundant people with no other specialties have almost all been stuffed into positions that cannot be replaced by machines for the time being...
Their lives have been greatly improved, and they are the most loyal supporters of the destiny system, and naturally they have become devout "missionaries".
When they are idle on weekdays, they often organize themselves and recite various documents produced by the system over and over again. Their proficiency in various functions of the system is likely to exceed that of many young people with strong receptivity.
"Do they have any value in existing if they don't contribute to society and are just lazy wastes?" an aunt with calloused hands said righteously.
From her words, the young man heard a strong sense of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel. He couldn't help but guess that the other party might have had a son who stayed at home all day long.
"Humanity keeps making progress, isn't it just to make more people free!" After being poked at the painful spot, he seemed to have completely forgotten about his intention to jump off the building, and concentrated on refuting the old supervisor's words.
"We work hard every day not to raise rice worms!"
…
After arguing for a few more times, both sides seemed to be serious about it. Not only the young people forgot to jump off the building, but also a group of middle-aged people forgot that they were here to persuade others not to jump off the building.
The generation gap and ideological differences between the two generations are most vividly reflected in the quarrel.
"ID: 0xffff0213aabac567, name: Liu Ru, are you sure you want to enter the suicide process?" Just as they were arguing, the system suddenly popped up a light screen with two options: yes or no.
The belated "greeting" from the system instantly calmed down the commotion.
"What will happen if I choose yes?" Liu Ru finally remembered his purpose of going to the rooftop and asked the reverse system.
"As a frozen living specimen, it was sent to Tianqing Experimental Site. After losing its experimental value, it became the source of thinking for the biochemical reactor." The emotionless voice said a cruel answer.
"So why did I come to this place where I don't even have the freedom to die and no human rights at all!" Liu Ru recalled his comfortable life abroad. Compared with before, this place was simply hell.
Liu Ru, whose parents are both big businessmen, has not learned any skills for making money, but his skill tree for spending money is full. In order not to be left alone to fend for himself abroad, he was forced to follow his elderly parents back to China, and finally became this situation.
"Please choose." The system ignored his complaint and just repeated it again.
…
"No." He moved to No's position tremblingly.
After a round of tossing, Liu Ru no longer had the idea of death or survival at the beginning. After all, it was just a young man's impulse, and he gave up immediately after losing his temper.
Just like gangsters using knives to kill people in a gang fight, they will attack people with passion and adrenaline stimulation without blinking an eye, but after seeing the blood all over their bodies, most of them will be so scared that they fall to the ground.
The idea that it was better to live than to die finally gained the upper hand. Although he was usually a pampered person, Liu Ru was actually a person who was very afraid of death.
Especially when he heard that he would be manipulated in all kinds of ways if he applied for suicide, he completely gave up the idea of committing suicide.
There are many people who have the courage to face death, but there are very few who can accept being treated as experimental materials and turned into a semi-vegetative state, and then continue to "shine and shine" for mankind forever.
After all, asking for death is just asking for peace and relief, but such treatment is simply like never being reincarnated.
"What conditions need to be met to apply to leave the system?" Although he had decided to give in temporarily, Liu Ru still had no intention of giving up.
Having received education on freedom and human rights since childhood, he still cannot accept this crazy country.
"Method 1: Accumulate contribution points equal to the estimated value of your worth, and pass three tests to gain the option to leave. Method 2: Have a power equivalent to 10% of the system." A piece of text was on the light screen. It showed.
"Thirty years, in thirty years I will definitely escape from the clutches of this ghost system!" After reading the system's reply, Liu Ru thought silently in his heart.
"You're disloyal!" From the brows of his eyebrows, an old man could tell that Liu Ru seemed to be rebellious. He pointed at him as if asking for credit, and loudly reported to the system in front of him immediately.
