"This is how it's going to be."
"You go back and get ready."
The director of instruction, dressed in a black uniform, crossed his arms and looked at the skinny teenager in front of him, his eyes flashing a hint of sympathy.
"I was .Included in the draft quota?"
Lin Yuan looked frozen for a moment.
Having just crossed over not long ago, he had not yet had time to adapt.
Then he learns of this bolt from the blue.
In fact, for an ordinary student like Lin Yuan.
The draft is not a bad thing.
Government spending on the military has always been generous.
Even conscripts are treated well.
But that was peacetime.
Today in the Border Galaxy, news of an alien invasion is coming in.
Many speculate that the purpose of this conscription is to act as a frontline reserve.
In the 2.6 million years of the Star Ocean Calendar, the Cosmic Human Alliance engaged in a frenzy of interstellar expansion, occupying galaxy after galaxy of river systems, and inevitably coming into contact with other racial civilizations.
Resources are limited, and in order to compete for all kinds of interstellar resources,
human civilization took the initiative to set off a series of conflict wars.
The alien civilizations that were driven away .
Without fail, they stared at the human civilization from the shadows, launching counterattacks at every opportunity.
"This is trouble."
Lin Yuan's mood sank.
He knew very well that although human civilization in general.
had the absolute upper hand in the war against most alien civilizations.
But on the local battlefields, it's not exactly smooth sailing.
The alien civilizations in the depths of the stars are ferocious and violent,
individually powerful beyond belief.
Tearing battleships alive is definitely not a falsehood.
When fighting these alien races, even if the human soldiers are heavily armed,
the average mortality rate is still 20% to 30%.
In addition.
Out of secrecy about the war.
All soldiers involved in the war against the alien race are forbidden to communicate with the outside world.
Localized star wars are generally time-consuming, and it's not unusual for them to last for centuries and centuries.
That is to say, Lin Yuan was selected for this draft slot.
Even if he survives during the fight against the alien race,
it is estimated that the rest of his life will be spent on a cold outer space battleship.
A lifetime without access to the earth and oceans of a living planet.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, "Director, can this matter be discussed, my parents are waiting for me to raise them in the future, and I still have a sister."
The Director of Instruction knocked on the table and solemnly said, "Don't worry, respond positively to the government's conscription policy, your family, will be properly placed."
"Your father, the current position will rise a level, your mother, will get a decent job in the district."
"Your sister, all future school fees are free, and after the age of eighteen, has a place in an institution of higher learning."
".Hoping that my afterlife has been well thought out?"
Lin Yuan pursed his lips, and there was an indescribable complexity in his heart.
From the bottom of his heart, this condition is fine.
Father is now at a bottleneck in his position that most people don't get past for decades.
Mother is currently jobless, if she can get a decent job.
Could greatly improve the family's environmental conditions.
As for my sister's place in higher education, this is something that cannot be bought with money.
It is not too much to say that my sister has a bright future if she is able to go to an institute of higher learning.
Just.
Just.
Just.
Why should all of this be based on my sacrifice????
Lin Yuan had just traveled into this body for a few days, although he had received all of his memories wholesale.
But in the face of this kind of 'sacrificing me alone for the happiness of the family' scene, the heart still wells up with indescribable rejection.
"I still like life on the planet"
Lin Yuan was silent for a while and couldn't help but speak.
After becoming a soldier, everything will be militarized.
When that happens it will be too late to say no.
Though refusing now probably won't help.
"Fellow student Lin Yuan, serving the government is a duty we citizens should fulfill."
"Besides, this conscription belongs to a mandatory policy, and it was chosen over you, so even if you don't want to go anymore, there's not much use."
"Besides, young people, what's wrong with going out?Being able to see all sorts of foreign races that only appear in textbooks is something that an ordinary citizen would never be able to do in a lifetime."
"If you can get credit for it, you might be able to transfer back to the military district in the future."
"This is an opportunity that is usually rare."
The Director of Instruction patiently comforted Lin Yuan with a few words.
"But..."
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more words.
The result was that the Director of Instruction was waving his hand, "Alright, you go out first, spend more time with your family in these days."
Under the gaze of the director of instruction, Lin Yuan got up and left.
Outside the door.
There were more than a dozen students about Lin Yuan's age waiting in line.
As soon as Lin Yuan came out, a student walked in.
"Student, the director asked us to come over, what's the matter?"
A dark-skinned student hurriedly pulled Lin Yuan's arm and asked in a low voice.
"You'll know when you go in."
Lin Yuan sighed and ignored it, walking straight away.
Before he met the director, Lin Yuan also did not expect that he would be included in the mandatory conscription quota.
Last week.
Lin Yuan then learned of the mandatory conscription news from a certain authoritative media broadcast on this planet.
Only at that time, Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention to it.
The scope of the mandatory conscription encompassed the entire Canglan Star, as well as dozens of neighboring living planets.
The resident population of Canglan Star is 50 billion,
and the number of conscripts to be apportioned to Canglan Star is only hundreds of thousands.
In terms of probability, the number of citizens selected by the lottery for mandatory conscription is roughly one in a hundred thousand.
Such a small possibility that Lin Yuan didn't give it a second thought.
It's just that reality is full of all sorts of surprises,
The original body bought all kinds of lotteries for more than ten years, and didn't win a single one,
only one in 100,000 probability of a mandatory conscription quota, and said that he won
returned home.
Lin Yuan realized that his parents were there, and even his younger sister, in a rare occurrence, was sitting in her seat.
Looking at the cake in front of him, he drools, but doesn't dare to reach out.
"Xiao Yuan."
Mother Lu Qiong stood up and looked at Lin Yuan with a lustful gaze.
Father Lin Shoucheng, on the other hand, sat there with a frown on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Obviously, the fact that Lin Yuan had been included in the mandatory conscription quota had reached home.
Even compared to Lin Yuan, his parents knew about it earlier.
"There is still room for the draft."
"Tomorrow I will go to your cousin's uncle and ask him to step in and maneuver back."
Father Lin Shoucheng spoke.
The cousin he spoke of was a distant relative.
He now works at a research institute and has some contacts.
"No need."
Lin Yuan shakes his head.
Mandatory conscription policy, handed down by the government.
Let's not talk about the employees of some obscure institute in the district.
Even the Consul of Canglan Star would have to pay a huge price if he wanted to change it.
Of course,
if Lin Yuan was really involved with the Consul.
The name wouldn't be on the draft list at all.
Spend money people before the draft list comes out.
Hopefully make it to not being on the list.
But once the list is finalized, it's hard to come down.
"I'm a little tired."
"Going to my room first."
Lin Yuan casually ate some and got up to go back to his room.
"How to get out of the mandatory conscription quota..."
Lin Yuan lay on his back on the soft bed, still holding the most glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Connect to the Goddess of Wisdom."
Thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan sat up.
The Goddess of Wisdom, is one of the three major goddesses of the Cosmic Human Alliance.
It is the core intelligent processing system of the entire civilization, which oversees the overall operation of the civilization and is responsible for all affairs of all the citizens of the human civilization, strictly monitoring any abnormal behaviors, so that it can carry out all operations in accordance with the charter of the civilization.
The three goddesses are responsible for the human civilization's ability to sweep away many alien races over the span of more than two million years in the Star Ocean Calendar.
If the three goddesses hadn't handled the situation in an absolutely selfless manner, I'm afraid that the human civilization in the universe would have died of internal strife long ago, and how could it have developed into such a huge, brilliant, and shining civilization as it is now?
People have feelings, they have biased perceptions of things, and they can be influenced by their emotions to make wrong decisions, but the three goddesses don't.
The three goddesses are the only ones who can make the right decisions.
The position of the three goddesses is always that of the entire human civilization, and there is no self-interest whatsoever, so they can always be fair.
The Goddess of Wisdom that Lin Yuan is connected to is naturally not the subject consciousness of the true Goddess of Wisdom.
Rather, it is a minuscule sliver of subconsciousness that it has splintered off, a benefit that belongs to every citizen.
"Lin Yuan, first-class citizen of the universe, please state your question."
An electronic synthesized voice, following the ubiquitous network, rang in Lin Yuan's ears.
"I would like to know the conditions for exemption from mandatory conscription?"
Lin Yuan organized his language and inquired.
"Compulsory conscription originates from Article 156 of the Charter, and is used to maintain the stability of human civilization as well as foreign conquests, and all human citizens are obliged to cooperate with conscription."
"The following three situations are exempt from compulsory conscription."
"One: Evolutionists, human beings walking on the path of evolution, are the hope of human civilization, and have the privilege of rejecting the mandatory conscription policy."
Evolutionaries.Lin Yuan had a complicated look on his face.
Evolutionaries are no secret in the long Star Ocean Calendar.
There are many paths to becoming an Evolutionary,
mainly divided into Unique Evolutionaries, and Universal Evolutionaries.
Unique evolvers are well understood, evolvers that cannot be universalized or replicated.
For example, certain evolutionary lineages that are inherited through bloodlines fall into this category.
There are also individuals who have undergone special processes that cannot be replicated and have mutated to possess extraordinary powers.
Also belonging to the Unique type of Evolutionary.
As for universal type evolvers.Then, they are humans who have embarked on a stable evolutionary path.
For example, Genetic Warriors, who took expensive genetic agents and stepped onto the path of evolution.
And the Spirit Masters, who, through brutal training and torture,
combined with specific cultivation methods, create killing machines and so on.
Any stable pathway of evolution is exceptionally precious,
a valuable knowledge that countless ancestors have explored with their lives.
"I should just be ordinary."
Lin Yuan sighed.
Ordinary people meant no connection to Unique Type Evolvers.
Lin Yuan wanted to become an Evolutionary, and could only consider a stable evolutionary path.
It is just that the latter is not something that can be done overnight, and a few evolutionary pathways such as genetic warriors can be done quickly.
But that's based on expensive genetic agents and other treasures,
in the Cosmic Human Alliance, genetic agents belong to strictly controlled products.
Ordinary people simply don't have the pathway qualifications to purchase them.
Taking a step back, even if the gene potion was placed in front of Lin Yuan, he could not afford it.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking.
The cold, indifferent electronic synthesized voice sounded again.
"Two: Citizens of the fourth level of the universe will have the privilege of exemption from the mandatory draft every ten years."
"Fourth-class citizens..."
The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
In the first year of the Star Ocean Calendar, the human civilization then established a civic hierarchy.
Citizens are categorized into twelve levels, and the higher the level, the greater the privileges.
The way to raise the rank of a citizen is to contribute to human civilization.
This is practiced under the supervision of three goddesses and is absolutely fair.
So
raising civic rank is exceptionally difficult.
Almost ninety-nine percent of citizens, from birth to death, are only first-class citizens.
Accompanying this, of course, are the many benefits of being a high-level citizen.
Starting with fourth-class citizens, they have immunity privileges every ten years.
Citizens below the level of felon can be pardoned.
Mandatory conscription is also included.
Only,
With the Lin family's current connections, where would one go to meet Level 4 citizens?
You have to know that the entire current Canglan Star, fifty billion resident population.
There is only one person whose civic rank has reached level four.
That is the Canglan Star Consul.
The big man who controls the lives and deaths of tens of billions of citizens.
"And the third?"
Lin Yuan could not help but inquire.
"Three: by contributing to human civilization and upgrading to a second class citizen, you will be exempted from compulsory conscription."
The electronic synthesized voice came again.
It was the one that made Lin Yuan fall silent again.
Tier 2 Citizens, even if they are not Evolutionaries, their status is not lower than most Evolutionaries.
The privileges that evolvers have, second level citizens naturally have.
However.
It's harder than becoming an Evolutionary.
To a lesser extent, Lin Yuan knows how to become an Evolutionary, even if he can't do it himself.
But the contributions needed to be able to be recognized by the Goddess of Wisdom to be elevated to a second-class citizen are utterly clueless.
"What specific behaviors count as contributions?"
Lin Yuan asked tentatively.
"Providing a completely new evolutionary path will result in a huge contribution."
The electronic synthesizer sounds.
Vaguely, Lin Yuan realized that the
Goddess of Wisdom attached great importance to the brand new evolutionary pathway.
Otherwise she wouldn't be rewarded with a huge contribution.
"Think of something else."
Lin Yuan rubbed his brow at the three scenarios provided by the Goddess of Wisdom.
None of which Lin Yuan was currently able to do.
Especially the last one, providing an entirely new evolutionary pathway?
If Lin Yuan had this, he would have been promoted to a second-class citizen long ago, and would still be waiting to be forcibly conscripted?
Without realizing it, it was already midnight.
Lin Yuan also gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly.
Just then.
A strange suction pulled Lin Yuan's mind towards his mind.
And in the depths of the mind, a magnificent, lofty door of light appeared.
The door was filled with a pale blue curtain of light.
Like waves of water, it constantly rippled.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan snapped.
Then woke up from his sleep.
"Not a dream."
After waking up, Lin Yuan was still able to perceive the light door in the depths of his mind.
At the same time.
An illusory font flashed below Lin Yuan's field of vision.
[Name: Lin Yuan]
[Identity: Ruler of the Gate of Ten Thousand Realms]
