Chapter 1607: You Are the Radical

“That makes sense.”

Shen Yuanbao sighed. “If this system can work perfectly, it can definitely stimulate the superhumans’ enthusiasm!”

“There’s another point. I noticed that in the past contribution points system, most of the missions were issued by the nine mega corporations, and the rewards were provided by those corporations,” Meng Chao said.

“In this way, superhumans complete missions for the mega corporations. They also receive rewards from the mega corporations. It’s very easy for them to become the corporations’ vassals or even lackeys since they’re fighting for them.

“That won’t do.

“The new contribution points system must strengthen the Supernatural Tower’s main status. The mission content must be diversified. The rewards cannot come from the mega corporations. They can only come from the Supernatural Tower.”

“How do you ‘diversify’ it?” Shen Yuanbao asked with interest.

“It’s simple. Let ordinary citizens have the opportunity to participate in the design of the mission.”

Meng Chao said, “In the past, the Supernatural Tower paid too much attention to the needs of the mega corporations and military missions. Of course, in times of war, that’s something that we can’t blame them for.

“But now, the war is over. We need at least five to ten years to adjust and accumulate strength before we have enough strength to deal with the next phase of a larger and more intense war. During this period, listening to the voices of ordinary citizens, improving their satisfaction, and promoting harmony and unity in the Dragon City civilization are the most important things.

…

“I suggest that we randomly select ordinary citizens on a regular basis and ask them to tell us the greatest difficulties they have encountered in their lives and the things they hope the superhumans would do the most. The follow-up missions, at least a part of them, should be designed around what they want.”

“Random selection?”

Shen Yuanbao thought for a while and said, “It’s a good idea to let ordinary citizens participate in the part of the mission setup, but shouldn’t there be a screening mechanism?

“Many ordinary citizens don’t have much culture or structure. They are simply short-sighted and only care about the small profits in front of them. What reliable tasks can they propose?

“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I look down on ordinary people. In fact, there are many highly-educated talents among ordinary citizens, such as engineers, business owners, and even teachers in universities. If we choose them as the representatives of ordinary people to participate in the task design, I have no objection

“No, they must be randomly selected and rotated regularly. We must try our best to ensure that every ordinary citizen of Dragon City has a channel to give their voice to the peerless experts.”

Meng Chao said, “The ordinary people have always been at the bottom of the pyramid of Dragon City civilization. Of course, it’s impossible for them to have any knowledge and pattern, but that doesn’t mean that they are brainless and don’t know what is good for them. who is using them to satisfy their own selfish desires under the pretense of ‘asking for the lives of the people.’

“The ‘small profits’ that you mentioned may very well be related to the happiness and sadness of a family, the future of a child, and the lives of many people. Why isn’t it worth arranging some missions for the superhumans to fight for?

“As for the selection of ‘high-level ordinary people,’ hehe, there will be too many tricks once they reach the ‘selection’ stage. I can guarantee that these ‘high-level ordinary people’ will definitely be bribed by the mega corporations in no time. The missions that they throw out will only benefit the mega corporations and not satisfy the interests of the ordinary citizens

“Alright, I’m a little convinced by you.”

Although Shen Yuanbao said that, he did not show any expression of being ‘sincerely convinced’. He said slowly, “Your suggestion is not without reason, but the biggest problem is that it’s wishful thinking and can not be realized.”

“From what you mean, you want to use the ‘contribution point system’ as a starting point to carry out a radical innovation to the entire Supernatural Tower.

“Putting aside the success rate of such an innovation, any similar innovation requires an astronomical number of resources to be effectively promoted.

“May I ask, where do you want your resources to come from?”

“Raise taxes,” Meng Chao said without hesitation.

“Raise taxes on superhumans. The higher the realm, the higher the tax rate, especially the inheritance tax.

“In the past few decades, the peerless experts of Dragon City, mainly the peak Heaven Realm and Deity Realm warriors, have used their power to move mountains and overturn seas. They have accumulated enormous wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine.

“When ordinary people can only live in the disorderly slums, the peerless experts all live in the magnificent Dragon City One and in The Grand View of the Universe.

“When ordinary people had to economize for a gene reagent, the peerless experts were able to wash their feet with the blood of the ferocious beasts of hell.

“If the trend of the differentiation between the strong and the weak is not stopped, it won’t be long before the strong and the weak in the Dragon City civilization will evolve into two completely different species, leading to the collapse of the civilization.

“If you say that the peerless experts have made great contributions to the Dragon City civilization and accumulated so many military exploits from the mountains of corpses and the Sea of blood that you can enjoy everything, then how can your children naturally enjoy resources that are hundreds of times more abundant than others?

“The excessive and progressive inheritance tax can solve this problem to the greatest extent.”

Shen Yuanbao burst into laughter.

“It seems that I was wrong.”

Shen Yuanbao laughed. “I thought that you were a moderate and that Lu Siya was a radical.

“But now, it seems that you are the real radical. Compared to you, a lunatic, even that ambitious little girl, Lu Siya, is so gentle and harmless.

“An excessive and progressive inheritance tax. Do you really think that there is even the slightest possibility that such a ridiculous proposal will be realized? Do you really think that there will be superhumans who will support your proposal?”

“Of course, most of the peak Heaven Realm and Deity Realm warriors won’t support it, and neither will most of the sons of wealthy families and the top management of the mega corporations.”

Meng Chao said calmly, “But I believe that other than these superhuman fighters and those who have benefited from it, everyone else will support me.”

“In other words…”

Shen Yuanbao stared at Meng Chao. “In order to accomplish this, you are willing to make an enemy of most of the peerless experts in Dragon City?”

“Yes.”

Meng Chao said indifferently, “In order to accomplish this, I will not hesitate to make an enemy of most of the peerless experts in Dragon City.”

“Why?”

Shen Yuanbao really did not understand. “You must know that you are also a peerless expert. Superstar Company, which is under your name, also possesses an astronomical amount of wealth. If you impose an excessive and progressive inheritance tax, it means that you will not be able to escape either. It is impossible for you to pass on everything that you have worked hard to accumulate to your descendants

“If you don’t do this, the gap between the strong and the weak will become larger and larger. Dragon City’s civilization will certainly be doomed.”

Meng Chao said, “When the Dragon City civilization is destroyed and my descendants become slaves and corpses, what’s the meaning of the so-called ‘astronomical wealth?’”
