Chapter 995 - The Merits Couldn’t be Counted (2/2)

Bai Li still did not understand, so she tilted her head and looked at Qin Feng, as if waiting for him to explain.

“In our realm, the aptitude users are the ones with high status and there are too many ordinary people that need protection. Therefore, the civilians live humble lives, squeezed into the labor force and have to pay high taxes each month. The taxes are basically protection fees to ensure their survival in the cities!”

“Once a beast wave occurs, that money would be pushed forward and rewards would be issued!”

“The city pays its taxes to the state, the state pays to the region and the region pays to the alliance. Layer by layer, it forms this reward based policy.”

“This kind of decision making ends up with the aptitude users obtaining a huge advantage over the civilians because of their admiration for them. For some smaller alliances, maybe in a few years they would get dragged under because they don’t have a high population and not enough to protect the people. Without taxes, the rewards would be scarce and those aptitude users are likely to leave that alliance for other places.”

It was like that for corporations as well, the boss was the one that gained most of the profit and the rest was split among the employees. These kinds of undesirable situations would definitely happen.

Fortunately, Qin Feng was not like that, he had far too many things to earn money from.

“So, which one is actually good then?” Bai Li asked.

“The pros and cons depend on the situation. At the very least, we can’t manage such a method right now! Look at this place, besides the young ones, nobody needs anyone else to protect them. Everyone knows how to fight, they can take care of themselves.”

Therefore, when everyone was an aptitude user, there was only the strong and the weak, not a split between the incapable and the capable.

The strong would earn more, the weak would earn less, but their status remained the same.

Of course, this method might suffer from corruption or embezzlement as it was not known where the materials would even go to or be used for and the prices start becoming a little fishy. Nobody would know.

At the same time, people here could choose to not spend the spoils on the army and sell them to merchants. That was the freedom they had.

Bai Li nodded this time having figured it out.

After all, their realm was too low in terms of power and could not make things fair. They could only let aptitude users take advantage of and exploit the civilians’ lives.

At this point, Qin Feng recalled Z’s elixirs and suddenly felt that Z’s original intentions and purpose were actually right.

“Alright, let’s go!” Qin Feng planned to go back and think more about this later.

The gates to this realm were also within Petalbrook City. After all, this was the heart of the realm. As long as Qin Feng left the Aptitude User Hall, he could find another spatial gate exclusive to the Human Alliance.

At this time, Qin Feng came face to face with Leafsoul and Blooming Lord.

“Mr. Qin, where are you going?” Leafsoul inquired out of confusion.

Qin Feng had just walked out of the Aptitude User Hall.

“About to leave!” Qin Feng said.

Leafsoul did not respond for a moment, then said, “Makes sense, the battle hasn’t passed for long but it was very terrifying. Thank you Mr. Qin for your help, I will send someone to arrange for your rest!”

“I think you’ve misunderstood me, Marshall Leafsoul. I’m not going to rest, but I’m planning on leaving Omnesflores. I was just here on vacation and originally planned on leaving today. Now that the situation here has been effectively resolved, I’ll be on my way!”

Upon hearing this, Blooming Lord and Leafsoul were surprised.

“Mr Qin, the results of this battle have not been evaluated yet, but you are leaving now? Do you not want to claim your rewards? I’ve heard from Leafsoul that the person with the most outstanding performance can open the secret vault to retrieve an S-tier god weapon. I have already approved this.”
