"That's how it is."

"Get ready when you get back."

The dean in black uniform crossed his arms and glanced at the thin boy in front of him with a glimmer of sympathy in his eyes.

"I was included in the conscription quota?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

I just crossed over and haven't had time to adapt yet.

Then I learned this shocking news.

In fact, for an ordinary student like Lin Yuan.

Conscription is not a bad thing.

The government has always been generous in spending on the military.

Even conscripts receive good treatment.

But that was peacetime.

Now, there is news of alien invasion in the border galaxy.

Many people speculate that the purpose of this conscription is to serve as a front-line reserve.

In the 2.6 million year of the Starry Calendar, the Universal Human Alliance carried out frantic interstellar expansion, occupying one galaxy after another, and inevitably came into contact with other races and civilizations.

Resources are limited. In order to compete for various space resources,

human civilization has proactively launched a series of conflicts and wars.

Those alien civilizations that were driven away

are all watching human civilization in secret, ready to launch a counterattack as soon as they get the chance.

"This is troublesome."

Lin Yuan felt depressed.

He is very clear that although human civilization as a whole.

In wars against most foreign civilizations, they have an absolute advantage.

But things were not all smooth sailing on the local battlefield.

The alien civilization deep in the starry sky is brutal and cruel.

The individuals are incredibly powerful.

Tearing a battleship apart alive is definitely not empty talk.

Fighting against these alien races, even though human soldiers are fully armed,

The average mortality rate also reached 20% to 30%.

also.

For the secrecy of the war.

All soldiers participating in the war to exterminate alien races are prohibited from communicating with the outside world.

Local space wars generally take a long time, and it is normal for them to last for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

In other words, Lin Yuan was selected for this conscription.

Even if you survive the fight against the aliens,

you will probably spend the rest of your life on a cold battleship in outer space.

The land and oceans of the planet that cannot be touched for life.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Director, can we discuss this matter? My parents are waiting for me to support them in the future, and I also have a younger sister."

The dean of education knocked on the table and said solemnly: "Don't worry, if you actively respond to the government's conscription policy, your family will be properly settled."

"Your father will be promoted to a higher position, and your mother will get a respectable job in the district."

"Your sister will have all her tuition fees waived from now on, and after she turns 18, she will have a place to study at a higher education institution."

".So you have considered everything about my afterlife?"

Lin Yuan pursed his lips, feeling an indescribable complexity in his heart.

To be honest, this condition is acceptable.

My father is now at a career bottleneck that most people cannot overcome for decades.

My mother is currently unemployed and would love to get a decent job.

Can greatly improve the home environment conditions.

As for my sister's place in a higher education institution, this is something that money cannot buy.

My sister is able to go to an institution of higher learning for further studies, so it is no exaggeration to say that she has a bright future.

Just.

Just.

Just.

Why should all this be based on my sacrifice?

Lin Yuangang has been in this body for a few days and has received all the memories.

But faced with this scene of 'sacrificing myself for the happiness of my family', I still felt an indescribable rejection in my heart.

"I still prefer life on the planet"

Lin Yuan was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak.

Once you become a soldier, everything will be brought under militarized management.

It will be too late to say no then.

Although there is no point in rejecting the estimate now.

"Student Lin Yuan, serving the government is our duty as citizens."

"Besides, this conscription is a compulsory policy. If you are selected, it will be useless even if you don't want to go."

"Besides, young people, what's wrong with going out and exploring the world? Being able to see the foreign races that only appear in textbooks is something that ordinary citizens will never be able to do in their lifetime."

"If you can make contributions, you may be able to be transferred back to the military region to serve in the future."

"This is an opportunity that is rarely seen in normal times."

The dean patiently comforted Lin Yuan.

"But."

Lin Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words.

The dean of education just waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave first. Spend more time with your family in the next few days."

Under the gaze of the dean of studies, Lin Yuan stood up and left.

Outside the door.

There were more than a dozen students about Lin Yuan's age waiting in line.

After 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 grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and asked in a low voice.

"You'll know once you get in."

Lin Yuan sighed, ignored him, and walked away.

Before meeting the director, Lin Yuan had never thought that he would be included in the compulsory conscription quota.

Last week.

Lin Yuan learned about the forced conscription from an authoritative media report on this planet.

But Lin Yuan didn't care too much at that time.

The scope of compulsory conscription includes the entire Canglan star and dozens of surrounding life planets.

The permanent population of Canglan Star is 50 billion.

The number of conscription targets allocated to Canglan Star is only a few hundred thousand.

From a probability perspective, the number of citizens selected for compulsory conscription is about one in one hundred thousand.

Lin Yuan didn't take such a small possibility seriously at all.

But reality is full of surprises.

The original person had bought various lotteries for more than ten years, but never won once. There was only a one in a hundred thousand chance of being selected for compulsory conscription, and he returned home

just as it happened .

Lin Yuan found that both his parents were there, and even his younger sister was sitting in a seat, which was a rare occurrence.

I was drooling at the cake in front of me, but I didn't dare to reach out my hand.

"Xiao Yuan."

Mother Lu Qiong stood up and looked at Lin Yuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Father Lin Shoucheng sat there with a frown on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Apparently, word had reached his family that Lin Yuan had been included in the compulsory conscription quota.

Even compared to Lin Yuan, his parents knew about this earlier.

"There is still room for improvement in the matter of conscription."

"I will go find your uncle tomorrow and ask him to mediate."

Father Lin Shoucheng spoke.

The cousin he was talking about was a distant relative.

I currently work in a research institute and have quite a few connections.

"No."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

The compulsory conscription policy is issued by the government.

Not to mention the employees of an unknown research institute.

Even if the rulers of Canglan Star wanted to make changes, they would have to pay a huge price.

Of course,

If Lin Yuan is really related to the executive officer.

Your name will never appear on the draft list.

Spend money and connections before the draft list comes out.

Hopefully, I won't be on the list.

But once the list is finalized, it becomes difficult to come down.

"I'm a little tired."

"Let's go back to the room first."

Lin Yuan ate something casually, then got up and returned to his room.

"How to get rid of compulsory conscription."

Lin Yuanyang lay on the soft bed, still holding on to a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Connect to the Goddess of Wisdom."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuan sat up.

The goddess of wisdom is one of the three goddesses of the Universal Human Alliance.

It is the core intelligent processing system of the entire civilization, commanding the overall operation of civilization, responsible for all affairs of all citizens of human civilization, strictly monitoring any abnormal behavior, and making them perform all operations in accordance with the constitution of civilization.

During the more than two million years of the Xinghai calendar, the three goddesses played an indispensable role in enabling human civilization to conquer many alien races.

If it weren't for the absolutely selfless approach of the three goddesses, human civilization in the universe would have probably perished in internal strife long ago. How could it have developed into such a vast, glorious and dazzling civilization today?

People have emotions, have cognitive biases about things, and can be influenced by emotions to make wrong decisions, but the three goddesses will not.

The three goddesses always stand on the side of the entire human civilization. They are selfless and can always be fair.

The goddess of wisdom that Lin Yuan is connected to is naturally not the real subjective consciousness of the goddess of wisdom.

Rather, it is the tiny sub-consciousness that is differentiated from it, which is a benefit possessed by every citizen.

"Lin Yuan, first-class citizen of the universe, please tell me your question."

An electronic synthesized sound rang in Lin Yuan's ears along the ubiquitous network.

"I want to know the conditions for exemption from compulsory conscription?"

Lin Yuan organized the language and asked.

"Compulsory conscription originates from Article 156 of the Constitution and is used to maintain the stability of human civilization and to fight foreign wars. All human citizens are obliged to cooperate with conscription."

"The following three situations may be exempted from compulsory conscription."

"One: Evolvers, humans walking on the path of evolution, are the hope of human civilization and have the privilege to refuse the policy of compulsory conscription."

The Evolver Lin Yuan had a complicated expression.

Throughout the long history of the Star Ocean, the Evolvers were no secret.

There are many ways to become an Evolver.

They are mainly divided into unique evolvers and universal evolvers.

The unique type of evolver is easy to understand; it is an evolver that cannot be popularized or replicated.

For example, some families that evolve through bloodline inheritance fall into this category.

Some individuals undergo a unique process that cannot be replicated, undergo a mutation, and gain extraordinary powers.

It is also a unique type evolver.

As for universal evolvers, they are humans who have embarked on a stable evolutionary path.

For example, gene warriors take expensive gene drugs and embark on the road of evolution.

And spiritual masters, through brutal training and torture,

combined with specific cultivation methods, create killing machines, etc.

Any stable path of evolution is extremely valuable.

It is the precious knowledge discovered by countless ancestors at the cost of their lives.

"I should be just an ordinary person"

Lin Yuan sighed.

Being an ordinary person means having no chance to meet the unique evolutionists.

If Lin Yuan wants to become an evolver, he can only consider a stable evolutionary path.

However, the latter is not something that can be achieved overnight, while a few evolutionary paths such as genetic warriors can be achieved quickly.

But that is based on expensive genetic drugs and other treasures.

In the Universal Human Alliance, genetic drugs are strictly controlled products.

Ordinary people simply don't have the means to buy it.

To put it another way, even if the genetic medicine was placed in front of Lin Yuan, he would not be able to afford it.

Just as Lin Yuan was thinking.

The cold and indifferent electronic synth sound rang out again.

"Two: Universe Level 4 citizens will have a special exemption every ten years, which can offset the compulsory conscription."

"Fourth-class citizen."

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

In the first year of the Xinghai calendar, human civilization established a citizen class system.

Citizens are divided into twelve levels, and the higher the level, the greater the privileges they have.

The way to improve the status of citizens is to contribute to human civilization.

This is supervised and implemented by three goddesses, and it is absolutely fair.

Therefore,

it is extremely difficult to upgrade citizens.

Almost 99% of citizens are first-class citizens from birth to death.

Of course, along with this come many benefits for upper-class citizens.

Starting from the fourth level of citizenship, you will have an exemption privilege every ten years.

The punishments of citizens below the level of felons can be pardoned.

This includes forced conscription.

However,

with the Lin family's current connections, where can they get to know fourth-level citizens?

You know, the entire Canglan Star currently has a permanent population of 50 billion.

There is only one citizen who has reached level four.

That is the governor of Canglan Star.

A big shot who controls the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of citizens.

"What about the third scenario?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Three: Make contributions to human civilization and be promoted to second-class citizens, and you will be exempt from compulsory conscription."

The electronic synthesized sound came again.

But it made Lin Yuan fall silent again.

Second-class citizens, even if they are not evolvers, have a status no lower than most evolvers.

Second-class citizens naturally have the same privileges as Evolvers.

However,

this is harder than becoming an Evolver.

At least Lin Yuan knew how to become an Evolver, even if he couldn't do it himself.

However, he had no idea what kind of contribution he needed to be recognized by the Goddess of Wisdom in order to be promoted to a second-class citizen.

"What specific behaviors can be considered contributions?"

Lin Yuan asked tentatively.

"Providing a completely new path for evolution will make a huge contribution."

Electronic synthesizer sound begins.

Lin Yuan vaguely realized that

the Goddess of Wisdom attached great importance to the new path of evolution.

Otherwise there will be no huge contribution as reward.

"Let's think of other options."

Lin Yuan rubbed his brows and thought of the three situations provided by the Goddess of Wisdom.

There is none of them that Lin Yuan can do at the moment.

Especially the last one, which provides a completely new path for evolution?

If Lin Yuan had this, he would have been promoted to a second-class citizen long ago. Why would he wait to be forcibly conscripted?

Before he knew it, it was already midnight.

Lin Yuan also gradually fell into a deep sleep.

suddenly.

At this moment.

A strange suction force pulled Lin Yuan's mind into his brain.

And deep in the mind, a majestic and towering light gate appeared.

The door was filled with a pale blue light.

Like water waves, constantly rippling.

"What is this?"

Lin Yuan was suddenly startled.

Then I woke up from my sleep.

"It's not a dream."

After waking up, Lin Yuan could still sense the light gate deep in his mind.

At the same time.

A series of illusory characters flashed before Lin Yuan's sight.

[Name: Lin Yuan]

[Identity: The Master of the Gate of All Worlds]

[Realm: Nothing]

[Talent: None]

[Magic Power: None]
