Chapter 003: This is an era without exploitation
The perfect ending of more than a million blessings brought four rewards to Ludon:
Life Points, Genetic Enhancements, Designated Enhancements, Simulated Opportunities.
The purpose of life points is simple:
1 life point can extend Luden's lifespan by 1 year.
According to the estimation standard of the Nebula Empire, the income of Lu Deng's one-year life extension is about 1.314 million Nebula Coins.
3 life points, which is equivalent to rewarding Luden with nearly 4 million Nebula coins in one go.
As for genetic enhancement, it belongs to the uncontrollable category, random enhancement.
The Nebula Empire is very technological, and the most cutting-edge scientific research results need to pay a high amount of Nebula Coins to view.
But
Ludon is sure of one thing:
The study of the controlled evolution of genes has never stopped.
Some of his college classmates entered the relevant departments for research, and after signing a confidentiality agreement, the hourly salary started at five figures!
Luden's eyes flickered and he saw a new hint:
"Visual genotype I evolution complete."
"Evolutionary effect: improved eyesight, improved ability to adapt to the environment..."
Luden took off his glasses, and he was originally slightly short-sighted, but after the evolution of his vision genes, he no longer needed glasses at all.
He looked around and saw that the world was a little clearer.
I can see it, but I can only see it a little bit.
Ludon looked out the window, wanting to see the scenery beyond.
Feeling Luden's gaze, a line of text lit up on the window:
"Whether to unlock the scene - high-rise buildings, 15 Nebula coins/hour, if you want to switch scenes, you can click here or voice control."
Thinking about his savings, Ludon withdrew his gaze.
This is a time without exploitation.
Luden was not exploited,
The scene of high-rise buildings cannot be exploited either.
Even if you want to enjoy the scenery outside the window, you need to pay Nebula Coins.
Of course
He can choose the advertising model, not only does not cost money, but also makes a small profit.
A high-rise building full of advertisements offers no emotional value other than light pollution.
After retracting his gaze, Ludon focused again.
Among the four rewards, there is also a [Designated Enhancement].
In front of Ludon, there are two options:
[Option 1, cure asthma]
[Option 2, increase drug resistance, asthma drugs are ineffective]
These two choices are in front of them, and normal people will choose 1.
Here's the thing: Ludon isn't normal.
As a spreader of good fortune, he always has to think about one question: how to maximize good fortune?
Instead of making a decision immediately, Ludon fell into thought.
An asthma medicine is 1688 Nebula Coins, which can be used for 7 days.
At the medical check-up, Luden's life expectancy was 42.8 years.
Counting 3 life points gives Lu Deng 3 years of life, that is, 45.8 years old.
Luton is 23 years old and has 22.8 years to live.
Option 1, the formula for the expected benefits for Luden:
Cost per unit time of treatment for asthma * total time in the future
That is: (1688/7)*365*22.8≈2,007,000 Nebula Coins!
This is the cost of treatment that Ludon saves.
If you don't have asthma, Ludon's hourly salary can increase by 100 Nebula Coins,
Based on the calculation of working 7 hours a day, a total of 5.825 million Nebula coins have been brought in.
Over the next 22.8 years, the total benefits that Option 1 will bring to Luden:
7,832,000 Nebula Coins!
Ludon didn't make an immediate decision.
His gaze shifted to Option 2.
If drug resistance is increased, the specific drug for asthma will not work.
For Ludon, it is a matter of all kinds of harm and no benefit!
Can you die if you have asthma?
Yes.
But Luden's asthma symptoms are mild, and he has not yet reached the point of endangering his life.
meantime
Ludon has a way to get more out of it!
7.832 million Nebula coins, cashed out in 22.8 years, is a bit too long for Luden.
He was very short of money, a lot of money.
Ludon needs to improve his life, treat his ailments, replenish his nutrition, improve his quality of life...
In the Nebula Empire, as long as you have money, you can solve 99.99% of your troubles.
The remaining 0.01% of the troubles are the troubles of too much money.
As the Nebula Constitution says, this is an era without exploitation.
Luton wants a better life, and he can't rely on exploiting others.
Then you can only find a breakthrough from yourself.
"Pick 2!"
The moment Ludon made his decision, a white light flashed, as if nothing had happened.
Ludon knew he was already resistant to the asthma cure.
He picked up a special medicine and sprayed it.
The powder entered the airway, and after holding his breath for a few seconds, Ludon took a deep breath.
There is no usual sense of transparency, as if there is no medicine.
Antimicrobial resistance has taken effect!
Ludon was very happy with his negative evolution.
Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, I would like to make an appointment for a [Lifetime Treatment Plan for Asthma]. Yes, I don't have enough money, help me transfer to the financial solutions department, thank you..."
Five minutes later, Ludon put down his phone.
Just on the phone, he successfully booked a lifelong treatment plan.
To pay for his treatment, Ludon signed a lifetime loan contract with an annual interest rate of 5.66%, which is equivalent to 1,784 Nebula coins per week.
In order to take out a loan, the only house in Luden's name was also mortgaged.
It was the only property his parents left him.
Ludon believes that
Everything is worth it.
In Nebula Empire, the efficiency of lending is very high.
On the one hand, the interest rate on the loan strictly follows official regulations, and there is no room for usury to survive.
On the other hand, the cost of supply cuts is terrible.
In the Nebula Empire, once the supply is cut off, the result will directly affect personal reputation, and it will also greatly reduce the hourly salary evaluation!
The latter is unacceptable to all.
In this era of non-exploitation, credibility is the foundation of a person's life.
When Ludon had completed all the formalities, a black car appeared on his doorstep.
A driver got out of the car and politely rang the doorbell.
He even paid 1.2 Nebula Coins for item depreciation for the act of ringing the doorbell.
It is said to be a special car, and the more official name is [fully intelligent multi-terrain advanced manned vehicle].
But
Ludon continued his habit of being on Earth, preferring to call it a car.
After the other party rang the doorbell for the third time, Ludon belatedly opened the door.
The driver showed his ID and introduced himself,
"Mr. Luden, I am the receptionist of Nebula Medical Technology Group, and you have made an appointment for a lifelong treatment plan..."
After a brief introduction, Ludon showed his ID card and passed the biometric certification.
The driver whipped him into the car and went to receive a lifelong treatment plan.
Sitting in the car, Luden only felt his body shake slightly for a moment, and the car slowly stopped.
In the car, he still prefers the open-top, so that he is free.
"Here we are"
The driver opened the door for Ludon and bowed slightly,
"This way, please."
Lu Deng appeared under the building of Nebula Medical Technology Group.
Nebula Medical Technology Group is one of the most powerful groups in the Nebula Empire, with more than 10 billion employees.
Even interns, the hourly salary of recruitment starts at 1000 Nebula coins.
Unlike on Earth, when interviewing on Earth, you need to apply for a job according to your own conditions, and finally talk about salary.
And in the Nebula Empire, the hourly wage best represents a person's ability!
Once the company decides to hire, it will pay strictly according to the hourly wage, neither less nor more.
This is a time without exploitation.
Paying employees excessively is also a form of exploitation.
"This way, please."
Leading the way for Lu Deng is a sweet-looking young lady with standard speech, decent manners, and good service.
Her badge reads:
"Name: Jiang Xiaoqiao
Hourly wage: 1500 Nebula Coins. ”
The income of the other party for one day is worth ten days of work on the road.
"The treatment room is on your left, I wish you all the best."
Bringing Ludon to the door of the treatment room, Little Joe handed Luden a business card as he left.
In this day and age, the subtext of handing out business cards is simple: go for a drink after work.
Luden is a man who has long since departed from low-level interests.
He put away his business card and deliberately wrote down Jiang Xiaoqiao's off-duty time and included it in the list to be done.
After putting away his business card, Luden walked into the treatment room and began the lifelong treatment he had bought for his family.
"Mr. Ludon, please lie down, the treatment is expected to take 2 to 3 hours, we will use Type II anesthetic, the side effects are almost zero, and you will be paid a total of 4672 Nebula Coins after the treatment, please sign here..."
It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous.
The side effects of type II anesthetics are almost nil, but there are a few things.
For these side effects, Nebula Medical Group needs to pay a compensation to Luden.
Of course
Ludon can choose a type I anesthetic with absolutely no side effects.
To add money.
Add money to choose a better drug, or take money to choose a slightly worse drug.
This multiple-choice question,
For the poor Ludon, it was just a single choice.
After signing, the anesthetic was slowly injected, and Ludon closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the professional smiling face of the doctor appeared in front of Luden's eyes,
"Are you awake?"
"The operation was a success..."
Ludon felt a chill in a certain part of his body, and his face turned cold.
"What, isn't it comfortable?"
The doctor was a little nervous and emphasized to Luden,
"The success rate of our lifetime treatment plan is close to 100%, to be precise, there have been no failures except for the initial experimental group..."
Before the doctor could finish his sentence, Ludon picked up a dusty handkerchief and tried to wipe his nose.
He is allergic asthma, allergic to dust and reacts greatly.
The next second,
Ludon's face flushed violently and began to cough violently,
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
The cough echoed through the clinic like the bell of a cemetery, and another lethal bullet hit the attending doctor in the blink of an eye, leaving his brain blank!
What happened?!
What's going on here?
The nurse on the side, apparently more experienced, trembled and shouted,
"Quick, come on!"
The screams pierced the silence of the entire building, like a thunderclap.
"The patient has asthma!"
