Chapter 68 Survival Problems
> "I am who I am!" A
powerful declaration did not impress Claudia. She looked Yunxi up and down amusedly, and talked about the responsibilities and obligations of interstellar citizens with earnestness.
"It is estimated that since you woke up, you have been going smoothly all the way. Except for the 'whale incident' that threatened your life, there are people who help you on other occasions! No matter what difficulty, someone will help you solve it. You really think life Is it that easy?"
She pouted, pointing at the fainted elder, "This old man is of average skill. But he holds a very important position in the Xia Clan. If you offend him, even the Xia Clan may I can't tolerate you anymore. Then Wen Xinyi... Hehe, if she doesn't want to have a worse relationship with the Xia Clan, she can't help you in the open! So after that, you still want to be a teacher comfortably in the kitchen? Don't think about it!"
"Interstellar people who want to enter the kitchen every year can't finish reading the names of the application forms for two months! One can imagine how many there are! With you, you are not even proficient in basic teaching warehouse operations , how can you compare yourself with others? Don't blame the people who slandered you on Skynet, they are too obvious to go through the back door!"
"If you lose your job in the kitchen, what else can you do? Yes, you are smart, think about it The method obtained the qualifications of interstellar citizens before the promulgation of the "Frozen Man Plan", and now you must be treated as an interstellar person at the legal level. But how much do you know about the survival pressure of interstellar people?"
"You know that the body meets the standard. Through Do all the interstellar people screened by Skynet have the requirement to serve in the military? And to serve, they are very likely to be sent to dangerous planets such as the Black Dead Sea to do tiring and harmful work, and they die every year because of it!"
"Are you sure? I feel that the person who lost his life was unlucky, and he ended up like this because he offended someone who shouldn't be offended. Let me tell you, that's not the case. Skynet will automatically screen and send some people with poor physique and genes to the past—— Because this group of people is trash, and living is a waste. The more outstanding a person is, the easier it is to get a chance to survive."
Claudia looked at Yunxi meaningfully, talking about genes, not to mention good or bad. , Physical problems needless to say, if there are no accidents, once you serve in the military...the consequences are unimaginable.
"You once woke up in the freezer. Do you know that the interstellar people opposed the freezer plan at first, not because they hated the freezer. The reason for their strong opposition is that the tax is too high. The calculation of the federal tax rate is complicated. Families are all under heavy pressure. They don't know that the gene of the frozen person comes from the parent planet, is it a key to the study of genetic diseases, or is it hindered, because they are afraid that they will have to pay an extra tax after the frozen person wakes up "
The tax law of the Federation roughly divides all interstellar people into thirteen classes, and the upper third class is high-level supernatural beings, important members of Congress, senior academicians of the Academy of Sciences, etc., and the taxes they have to pay every year exceed tens of millions. I am second-class, and I have to pay six to seven million in taxes every year. A middle-class like Mei Xier, but who has done meritorious service, also needs five to six million. She has no family support, and almost half of her income, It's all used to pay taxes."
Hearing this, Yunxi couldn't help being surprised, "Such a high tax?"
The tax rate is almost over 50%, who can bear it! It's too exaggerated!
Claudia sneered, and explained, "You have built a spaceship before, so you know the interstellar route? The opening of the route is not automatically generated. Finding a stable route in the vast universe is not because the interstellar predecessors took their lives again and again. Gambling, in exchange for it! There are also spaceships, the faster they can withstand wormholes, the more rare they are. The metal materials used for construction are more or less picked from Zerg planets! Today, more than 120 planets in the Federation, every The initial reclamation of a planet is not paid for by life!
Others accompany their lives, and later people can't just enjoy happiness. Is it not normal to collect more taxes? What's more, most of these taxes are collected for the interstellar people themselves For example, Interstellar Academy of Sciences, Nursery... No resources are free. Even the air suitable for human beings to breathe and the water for survival have to be exchanged for money!
" It is the holy place that interstellar people yearn for most. On other planets, some conditions are so harsh that every drop of water has to be counted for drinking. Where the tax is the lowest, but is anyone willing to go there?
There are still many people who came out of the nursery. They are all funded by the Federation, and it will take almost twice as long to repay the debts owed by the Federation for feeding and education!"
"When we talk about nursery schools, we have to talk about childbirth issues. Every citizen of the Federation is obliged to leave their own DNA. But if the child born has a genetic disease, I'm sorry, but I have to pay a high 'patient fee'. Because the Federation needs to consume more resources for you!"
"Do you know your situation now? Without the kitchen job, you can't survive in the capital star, and you will face military service soon. Just try to avoid the service, After that, you can't afford the annual tax of more than 100,000, unless you take the initiative to lower it...to the planet with the lowest tax rate. That kind of place is to cultivate alien planets. It's not that I look down on you, you will only die if you go there!"
Ke Claudia is usually not such a talkative person, but this time she talked a lot unconsciously. After a pause, she finally asked the most important thing that she wanted to say the most.
"How about it, do you regret it now? Regret that you didn't leave a way out for yourself. You talked too much earlier, and the Chinese and Xia people missed it?"
"I regret giving up the identity of the frozen person at the beginning. The frozen person Those who don't need to pay taxes, they are also protected by Skynet, and they have been allocated a piece of land on the fifth planet. It is reported that our East Lake area has rebuilt houses. Each person has a villa, a dedicated doctor, and a newly built Restaurant, service station, and even a school! Don't live too comfortably!"
"Hey, when I saw Suo An investigate the Alpha incident, I couldn't figure it out in every possible way. Everyone has opened a Tianwang account and broadcasted their lives live, only then did they know that they are the real smart people! Lin Tianer, don't you envy and envy?
" You didn't expose their conspiracy back then, if you had been there, and even participated, you would have everything they can enjoy!"
Claudia's tone was very seductive.
But who is Yunxi?
The earth-shattering and end-time scenes she experienced are enough to overturn a person's entire worldview. She didn't want to take the path chosen by the frozen man, so how could she be envious?
I won't regret it anymore!
She frowned slightly. Among Claudia's words, the only thing that bothered her was the high federal taxes.
First instinct, there is a problem here.
It is obviously wrong to impose high taxes on all interstellar people. If there was a Zerg invasion that year, or there was a special big project right now that required a lot of support, high taxes would be fine. But it is not.
According to Claudia, it seems that Interstellar has been like this for a thousand years...
Yunxi has no evidence, but she has been a brain figure who led mankind to interstellar, and she thinks there is a problem of "benefit distribution" in it. To put it simply, someone, or a group of people, took action in the collected taxes.
This should be the default fact, but I don't understand why the interstellar people have been bearing it silently, and no one has revealed it!
Yunxi has two choices, one is to be the first to eat crabs, shout loudly, and make the crime of corruption public. The price could be... physical annihilation.
The second is to temporarily follow the rules of the game and be a legal citizen who silently pays taxes.
But she also needs to be prepared. Without Wen Xinyi's support, would she be able to keep her job as a teacher in the kitchen academy? If you can't keep it, what kind of work should you do to face high taxes?
"Quack quack, has the host forgotten the existence of this system? This system is a unique gourmet system! If the host of the gourmet system starved to death, wouldn't it become the biggest joke in the universe?"
The little yellow duck that appeared suddenly looked like a tail feather It grew a little longer, the original bright yellow fluff receded a little, and the color deepened a layer, not as cute as before.
"Hey, didn't you say that you are practicing in seclusion? What's the matter, you're out of seclusion?"
"Hey, host, don't be so stingy. It's not that I don't respond to your call, but that this system also needs to be upgraded."
Yunxi didn't agree Believe it, Little Yellow Duck has asked the mechanical system elf to lead the class before, and it can be closed, so it won't shut down the entire system! Can't even do daily tasks.
In the Xia Clan these days, she has checked the surrounding environment. It's a pity that a thousand years have passed, and the shapes of various plants have changed drastically, and they are completely unrecognizable. Some look like white radishes, but when pulled out, the rhizomes are only the size of a finger. Some are obviously cabbages, but when you break open the leaves, a solid ball grows inside.
She is not as brave as Shennong, unless the Xia clan girls tell her that this thing is edible, otherwise she dare not put it in her mouth to bite.
Poor Yunxi regrets that she is neither a botanist nor a geneticist at this moment. If you know something about painting, you can at least judge from the shape of leaves and rhizomes.
It's just that there is no gourmet system. I tried to plant some seeds in the farm these days, but what I grew was inexplicable, and it was different from the original form of these plants! But it's not the vegetables and fruits she knew in the parent star era.
All kinds of plants completely confuse her!
By the way, before Claudia was framed with a laser knife, Yunxi said that she had a medicine powder on her hand that could activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, causing miscarriage... Fake!
Simple vegetables are hard to identify, not to mention ever-changing herbs! Not to mention the different types, but the same type, such as Dendrobium, which is listed as the Nine Great Immortal Grasses, has different planting places, different weather and climates, and different years, and the value can vary by thousands or tens of thousands of times. Yunxi...is completely different. His eyes darkened. She couldn't even tell the difference between herbs and weeds.
Only at this time did Yunxi feel that the interstellar age was different from the mother star age. In the parent planet era, she beckoned, there are plenty of talents, and there is never a shortage of medical talents. As for the interstellar era, Alpha's 100,000 frozen people died, and she didn't want to see any frozen people who survived. I can only rely on myself!
But she is not omnipotent.
She needs a food system to help her, otherwise it will be like staying in the Xia Clan for more than half a month this time, but getting nothing...
"This is your purpose, right? Little yellow duck, let me, who is used to your existence, become divorced." I won't let you go?"
"Hey, host, I can't do without you! Without you, the host, this system can't exist independently." The little yellow duck said while scratching his lower abdomen with his duck paw,
"seriously, the host, You don't need to talk to the woman across from you. She threatens you and intimidates you because she regards you as an immature and incompetent little woman who can only survive by relying on others. But who are you, you are an extraordinary person beyond the world! What's more, with me here, you can become a millionaire even if you cook delicious food!"
Yunxi doesn't particularly care about wealth,
"I want to get back the lost Chinese civilization."
"Uh, host, this is a little difficult Done. After all, this system is just a food system, not a literature system. It can help the host copy books and improve poetry skills."
Yunxi was speechless, and could only explain in detail, "What I mean by 'lost Chinese civilization' is Huaxia cuisine! Huaxia cuisine is so extensive and profound that even a poor life may not be able to study it thoroughly. My body is now in the state of fourteen years old. After all, it has been frozen for thousands of years, and the normal life expectancy can live to sixty years old, which is considered very good."
"Also Forty-six years is enough for me to soar and toss in the world of gourmet food!" The
little yellow duck laughed in agreement, without saying that with the improvement of the system level, the quality of the host will also improve. In the future, let alone some of Lin Tian'er's own physical illnesses, it is not impossible to return to a superhuman being.
A mere sixty years of life? How could it be so short-lived!
The gourmet system is not just to provide food, but more importantly, to keep in good health! Eat well, eat healthy, food supplements are better than medicine supplements!
These little yellow ducks didn't mention it to Yunxi, lest Yunxi think that he was "selling himself and boasting". After a long time, Yunxi will naturally have a deeper understanding. You will also know that the two of them are in a relationship that benefits both! win-win!
"Captain Claudia, thank you for your concern. But I don't regret it, and I don't envy the frozen people for using despicable means in exchange for their own comfort. It doesn't matter if I lost my job in the kitchen. Maybe you don't know, I was with you before When I lived in the residence, I made some dishes with Alice, which were very popular with the neighbors."
"I thought about it carefully, the fourth planet probably has a kitchen, and the business is not very good. But the fifth planet, or On the sixth planet, it is probably very easy to start a food business. I know a lot of recipes from the parent planet era, and I use interstellar ingredients to restore and make them. In addition, I am a little famous in Skynet. Do you think I cook live broadcasts? How about it?"
"What? Live cooking?" Claudia didn't think about it at all, "No, do you think vegetables are easy to get? Capital Star has a complete range of categories because it is the holy place most suitable for human life! The light, soil, and water are all suitable."
How can Yunxi be repelled by a mere problem, she said without hesitation, "Then I will use the most common ingredients on each planet and change them!"
"We The recipes of the Huaxia people are the most extensive, those that fly in the sky, those that swim in the water, those that run on the ground, even bugs can learn how to eat them!"
