Chapter 692: Jiang Li's Personal Value
The three of them had not come to the Personal Value Calculation Center to play around. They originally intended to go to the government office building to meet the Council President, but were informed that the three of them had no identification documents and no Personal Value.
Those whose Personal Value was below one thousand were not qualified to meet the Council President.
That’s why the three of them came here to calculate their Personal Value.
“Hello, what business would you three like to conduct?”
Bai Hongtu told the truth: “I’m here to play, and incidentally test my Personal Value.”
Jiang Li shot a glare at Bai Hongtu and said honestly: “I’m here to test my Personal Value, and incidentally to play.”
Yu Yin shot a glare at both Bai Hongtu and Jiang Li. She knew it all along. The whole ‘wanting to meet the Council President’ was just a pretense. They were just here to play.
“I’m accompanying these two to test their Personal Value.”
The staff member gave them a sidelong glance, momentarily unable to figure out their deal. Were they here to play, or to test their Personal Value?
Since they couldn’t lie, these three people should be here to test their Personal Value.
“Then please proceed with identity verification for all three.”
A ring glowing with a blue light appeared, scanning the bodies of the three.
“Strange, why can’t any of their identities be confirmed?” The staff member frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The work manual didn’t specify what to do in this case.
“Have the three of you never undergone identity registration?”
Even the staff member himself felt this question was stupid. If they hadn’t undergone identity registration, wouldn’t that mean they had never had their Personal Value calculated?
Without a calculated Personal Value, their Personal Value would be zero. A person with a Personal Value of zero could not survive in society.
The trio’s answer surprised the staff member.
“No.”
The three answered honestly, each one more earnest than the last, especially the two men, who looked like honest folk at first glance.
“In that case, I will proceed with identity registration for the three of you. Name.”
“Bai Hongtu.”
“Jiang Li.”
“Yu Yin.”
“Date of birth.”
Bai Hongtu asked politely: “What does date of birth mean?”
The Truth World answered all questions. The staff member patiently explained: “It’s the time you arrived in this world.”
“Then our date of birth is today.” Bai Hongtu stated, without a hint of a lie.
The staff member was quite astonished: “You’ve grown this big after just one day of being born!”
The staff member had no concept of lies; he believed whatever others said.
He began to consider whether these three were the latest research results from the Science Research Institute.
He had heard from friends that the scientists at the Science Research Institute, due to their overly pure scientific spirit, always ended up researching some strange and unusual things.
“Work unit and position… oh, you’re only one day old, you don’t have these.” The staff member filled in “None” for the three.
Jiang Li glared angrily at Bai Hongtu. Look at you, you’ve turned us into one-day-old infants!
Bai Hongtu returned an innocent look. I didn’t expect the people of this world to be so easily teased either. I’ve never encountered a world like this before.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtuexchanged a flurry of looks. Yu Yin couldn’t stand it anymore and used her eyes to tell the two to shut up.
The two immediately shut up.
“Here are the three of your identity documents, please keep them safe. Next, we will begin calculating your Personal Values.”
The staff member didn’t concern himself with the trio’s origins. That wasn’t his duty. His job was to help citizens calculate their Personal Value. Anything beyond that, he didn’t care about, as it wouldn’t increase his Personal Value anyway.
The staff member led the three to a small room.
“This room can test the Personal Value of the three of you. Personal Value is composed of two parts: ‘Present’ and ‘Future’. Please do not question the calculation results. The Gaia computer never makes mistakes.”
An emotionless electronic voice sounded: “Bai Hongtu, arrived in this world today with Jiang Li and Yu Yin. Method of arrival unknown, categorized as an unknown phenomenon, possessing extremely high research value. Purchased three ice creams, which has a negligible, almost ignorable, positive effect on local economic development and currency circulation.”
“After calculation, Bai Hongtu’s ‘Present’ Personal Value is six hundred and eighty points.”
Bai Hongtu: “…So my current value is only in being researched?”
The Gaia computer did not answer Bai Hongtu’s question, but continued calculating.
“Based on today’s speech and behavior, shows active thinking, has a tendency to seek methods of lying, and has a high probability of success. However, does not show a tendency to spread lying methods or disrupt social stability.”
“After calculation, Bai Hongtu’s ‘Future’ Personal Value is negative two hundred and twenty points.”
“Bai Hongtu’s total Personal Value is four hundred and sixty points.”
Jiang Li mocked from the side: “Hahaha, your Personal Value is only four hundred and sixty points.”
“Go on, go on, as if yours will be higher than mine.” Bai Hongtu waved his hand dismissively. They were all in the same boat, who was he to take it seriously?
“This is actually quite fun, I want to try too.” Yu Yin’s expression was cold, her tone of voice completely mismatched with her facial expression.
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu secretly exchanged whispers: “See what I said? Yu Yin’s inner mental activity is rich.”
“Exactly, I noticed this tendency back when we were all still Human Sovereign candidates. After becoming Empress, her inner mental activity is even richer than before.”
The two communicated in voices just loud enough for Yu Yin to hear.
Yu Yin suppressed her anger, waiting for her own Personal Value calculation result.
“After calculation, Yu Yin’s ‘Present’ Personal Value is six hundred and eighty points.”
“Based on today’s speech and behavior, shows inconsistency between inner thoughts and outward appearance, but has not attempted to seek methods of lying. Does not pose a social danger.”
“Has probability of becoming an actor, singer, entrepreneur, etc., possessing the potential to create substantial social value. After calculation, Yu Yin’s ‘Future’ Personal Value is one thousand three hundred points.”
The staff member nearby was surprised. When the Gaia computer said ‘has probability’, it basically meant it was a high probability, almost certain. That is to say, this woman named Yu Yin had a high likelihood of becoming an entrepreneur worth one thousand three hundred points.
What was the concept of one thousand three hundred points? Her wealth would be enough to rank among the world’s top.
If she became an actor, she would be a world-renowned star.
“Yu Yin’s total Personal Value is one thousand nine hundred and eighty points.”
One thousand nine hundred and eighty points. This was the Personal Value enjoyed by the top echelon of society, those who truly held power and wealth.
Yu Yin was relatively satisfied with her Personal Value.
As long as it was higher than Bai Hongtu’s.
“My turn.” Jiang Li stepped forward confidently, letting the Gaia computer test him.
“After calculation, Jiang Li’s ‘Present’ Personal Value is six hundred and eighty points.”
“Based on today’s speech and behavior, shows exceptionally strong leadership qualities, is amiable towards others, has an approachable attitude, and has the capability to lead the entire populace into a superhuman era, changing the social landscape.”
“After calculation, Jiang Li’s Personal Value exceeds that of the current Council President, becoming the individual with the highest Personal Value in this world.”
“Recommend suspending the current Council President from duty, appointing Jiang Li as Acting Council President.”
“This recommendation has now been submitted to the current Council President for approval.”
The current Council President, looking at the urgent approval document the Gaia computer had sent him, fell into deep thought.
“…How long has it been since the Gaia computer underwent maintenance?”
