femme fatale [unlimited]

Ning Mianmian's eyes moved slightly. In her world, although class solidification is also a very serious matter, the passage to the upward leap has not been completely blocked.For example, she herself made her debut through the draft, achieved financial freedom, and got rid of the troubles of her native family.

If it is simply divided by economic strength, then as long as you earn enough money, can you upgrade your level?Since the girl answered so firmly, there must be other decisive factors.

What the girl said "is not a species" may not be just an exaggeration.

Before she opened her mouth, Lin Cen was already one step ahead of her and asked the question, "It's not a species, what exactly does it mean?"

"literal meaning."

The girl sighed and spoke slowly.

In the highly technological world, gene editing and modification is a very common technology.For those who have the conditions, gene editing will be performed on the offspring in the early stages of embryonic development.

Embryos that have undergone gene editing will grow into very good individuals, far surpassing unmodified humans in terms of intelligence and physical strength.The superiority brought by this technology cannot be replaced by acquired efforts, just like a huge gap that cannot be bridged.

Therefore, people with a little money in their families will try their best to genetically modify their offspring.However, the more detailed and sufficient the transformation is, the more financial support is needed, and the four levels are born from this.

Level A is located at the top of the pyramid. This small group of people grew up with golden spoons in their mouths. They hold most of the resources and wealth effortlessly, and live a luxurious life.

Grade B belongs to the middle class, and the family property is far less than that of Grade A, but it is far higher than Grade C and Grade D below.These people also enjoy high-quality education, medical care and other resources, and as long as they work hard within their abilities, they can maintain their current status.

Class C belongs to the civilian class, ordinary working people, with a stable income, but it is pitifully less than the two grades A and B.They often need to work hard and need the financial support of both parents to buy real estate with loans and complete the simplest genetic modification of their offspring so that they will not be reduced to D grade.

Class D is at the bottom of society, poor and white.Under the impact of modern technology, AI continues to replace artificial intelligence, making it difficult for these people to support their families, let alone genetic modification.I can only do part-time jobs and goof around, living day by day, and being cast aside by everyone.

The huge difference between the four grades of A, B, C, and D is determined by genes and family economic strength. The offspring cultivated can be said to be very different, just like a high-end computer and an ordinary calculator, they are completely different. category.

Ning Mianmian was greatly shocked when he heard it, so it is understandable that it is difficult to achieve class leapfrogging.Then she opened up a new way of thinking, "What about marriage? There has never been a story about a prince falling in love with Cinderella, and Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family?"

The girl shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I heard that there were such literary creations decades ago, but now there is none at all. High-level people don't treat us as the same kind at all, not even Cinderella. Listen Have you ever heard of a dog or a pig marrying into a rich family?"

"Nowadays, whether it's a blind date or a relationship, everyone can only and can only choose people of the same level as themselves. Choosing people of the next level means that people of the higher level have to spend more money on genetic modification to make them It will cost money, time and effort for future generations to maintain their own standards, and no one will make such a loss-making business."

Looking at the girl's pale face, Ning Mianmian gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

Once the strict hierarchy is put on the bright side, the impact on society will be immeasurable.The most frightening thing is that over time, everyone gets used to this system.

Lin Cen said lightly: "Then why did you come to the City of Happiness? Even if you have a level, working in a normal environment is better than now."

The girl was silent for two seconds, and said, "Because the D-level people are eliminated at the bottom. The people who come here are all D-level people who have been eliminated."

Ning Mianmian was stunned, "What kind of elimination method?"

The girl said: "All D-level people will receive education under the social welfare system until they are 18 years old, and then they will have their first exam. The exam involves all aspects. Only those who pass the exam can enter the society. Those who fail, Either enter the capital of happiness, or... be directly obliterated."

Ning Mianmian couldn't help interjecting, "Is being obliterated the one I understand to be obliterated?"

"Yes, humanitarian destruction is said to be painless."

The girl nodded, with a look of sadness on her face, "There are also many people who have failed the exam and said that it is meaningless to live like this, so they chose to die directly, but I still want to live."

Isn't this exam equivalent to the college entrance examination? I have never heard of anyone who fails the college entrance examination and will be obliterated.

Ning Mianmian thought of a joke inappropriately - once upon a time there was a child who didn't study hard, and then he died.Unexpectedly, in this absurd world, it turned out to be true.

The girl continued: "And this is not the end, every ten years after that, people with D grades will have to conduct a comprehensive assessment to quantify their contribution to society. If the indicators are not fulfilled, then these two options are still available. "

Ning Mianmian asked: "The standards are so strict, wouldn't the D-level people disappear soon?"

The girl said: "It's not so fast, because many D-level people like to have a lot of children. Anyway, they are raised by the government before the age of 18. Even if they raise one successfully, they can be guaranteed in the future. But even so, it is said that D-level people The total number of people still has a downward trend. The government is discussing to relax the test standards so that more people can pass the test, but unfortunately I did not catch up.”

"In the eyes of many people, D-rank is a burden of society and should be abandoned by the times. However, out of humane considerations, the proposal voted by the upper-level finally gave D-rank some chances to survive."

Lin Cen smiled lightly when he heard this, "This is not a human consideration."

The girl looked confused, "What is that?"

Lin Cen said: "If the D grade is directly obliterated, then the C grade will soon become the next D grade, and the B grade will also feel the crisis. And the A grade is not willing to lose the bonus and foil brought by the BC two grades. So retaining a small amount of D grades is essentially to maintain the stability of the status quo.”

Ning Mianmian's heart turned cold when she heard it, but she had to admit that Lin Cen's analysis really hit the nail on the head.They have all been classified to the bottom of the society, and no one will consider the human rights of the D level, and will only classify them as a type of resource to maximize their benefits.

The girl seemed to have never thought about this question before, she was stunned for half a minute before muttering: "Is...is that so?"

Then he sighed again: "Forget it, it's not important."

Ning Mianmian couldn't bear to see it, and handed it to her with a few more silver coins, and asked the last question, "How did the government describe this place to you before you came here?"

The girl carefully put the silver coins into her pocket, and replied: "Those staff said that if they don't want to be obliterated, they can come to work in the City of Happiness, and they didn't say anything about other details. We signed the agreement, and then we were blindfolded and brought here The City of Happiness should be quite out of the way, we slept a few times along the way, and came here in a daze."

After bidding farewell to the girls, Ning Mianmian and Lin Cen joined Xiao Yun again.

Xiao Yun seemed to have social bullshit, and he didn't know what method he used. He had a very happy conversation with that NPC. When he was leaving, the other party looked at him, with a reluctant look in his eyes.

Ning Mianmian asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "It's nothing, between men, there are always many common topics."

But teasing is all teasing, the news he inquired about was similar to Ning Mianmian's and the others, that boy was born with a stupid brain, although he worked very hard, he couldn't learn no matter what, and the exam was a mess, so he had to come here in desperation.

He sighed: "Every time I think I have seen the shameless limit of capitalists, this limit will be refreshed again soon... Two, what are your plans next?"

Ning Mianmian murmured: "I think it's better to earn enough oxygen for three days first."

If there is no fresh air, she will die after a while, which makes her feel very insecure.

Lin Cen nodded, "But working this way is still too slow."

Xiao Yun was surprised and said: "It's still slow? We earned more than a day's worth of oxygen in one morning, and we're among the fastest among the players. I don't think you've ever worked part-time."

Lin Cen said: "Oxygen is only the most basic part, and the sooner it is completed, the better. We should focus on the 'disaster' on the third day, and find a refuge before it comes, otherwise we will put the cart before the horse. "

Xiao Yun humbly asked for advice, "Then how can we make money quickly?"

Lin Cen raised his eyes and looked at the building not far away, "I don't have much time, so just ask directly. If not, then go to another place."

Through the dirty glass of the window, one could vaguely see the man who assigned them the work leaning on the seat, with his legs resting on the table.

Lin Cen said, "Come with me."

The three of them quickly came to the door of the building. Lin Cen pushed the door open and made a "squeak", which startled the man on the chair.

After seeing the person coming, the man's expression quickly relaxed again, obviously he didn't pay attention to them.He lazily said, "What's the matter? Haven't all the wages been paid?"

Lin Cen replied: "I sent it, but not enough."

The man didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "If you don't have enough, do more. More work, more pay. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Xiao Yun smiled, pointed to the monitor on the screen, and said seriously: "You should have seen everyone's performance just now. The workload and remuneration here cannot satisfy us at all. Our ability is more than that, we only move When you move the trash, it’s a waste of money, don’t you think?”

The man's eyes changed slightly: "So what do you want to do?"

Lin Cen looked at him calmly, "Do you have any other more lucrative jobs here?"

The man stared at her for a while, his expression gradually became serious, "Yes, but I'm afraid that you will earn money instead of spending money."
