Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Foundation of Dawn City – Detailed Explanation of the Points Regulations
“Fourth, once City Hall opens new departments, individuals who have accumulated 10 points will have priority access.
Both the Logistic Department and the Security Team fall under the jurisdiction of City Hall,”
This point again stirred discussion among the crowd below. The income of the Security Team and the Logistic Department made them envious, especially with the Security Team earning 12 silver pukes a month, which was a significant amount of money.
At this moment, the crowd truly understood the importance of points; however, they still had not heard what they were most eager to learn: how to earn points.
“Fifth, moving forward, Dawn City will implement a points-based residency system. Only those who accumulate 20 points will be eligible to apply for residency in Dawn City. Civilians who fail to gather 20 points within three years will be relocated to villages outside Dawn City,”
“Sixth, in the future, the schools of Dawn City and the Mage Tower will be open only to residents, and individuals must have accrued at least 25 points to enroll their children,”
These were two more privileges related to the points system. Anthony clenched his fists tighter—points, oh points, he wished he could have ten thousand points to claim all the privileges.
“Seventh, after land is allocated, everyone must pay thirty percent of their income as tax for the first three years. After three years, those with 10 points will only need to pay twenty percent, and those with 20 points will pay just ten percent in taxes,”
“Eighth, those who reach 100 points can apply to become nobles of Dawn City. Nobles possess all the aforementioned rights and are also granted the privilege of free trade,”
Wow~ Although Lide had publicly mentioned this last night in front of everyone, hearing it again excited the crowd greatly.
Becoming a noble was both an honor and a highly coveted status.
One might have thought that was the end, but there was more.
“Ninth, those who reach 200 points can apply to become a member of the Holy Light Bloodline. Members of the Holy Light Bloodline possess endless life and powerful Casting Talents. Once one becomes a member, they automatically gain noble status and all rights, becoming one of the rulers of Dawn City,”
Wow~ The crowd truly erupted into noise at this point.
To become a Holy Light Bloodline member, one needed to double the points required to be a noble!
200 points!!
But this introduction had many hearts racing.
Endless life and powerful Casting Talents.
This promise sounded like a devil’s temptation, incredibly enticing.
Unfortunately, 200 points were too many.
Anthony’s heart also pounded fiercely upon hearing the last point.
As the Holy Light Bloodline slowly demonstrated their strength and normal characteristics, they fully exhibited the advantages of possessing endless life and Casting Talents.
It is human nature to fear Death; many rulers have done absurd things in their quest for immortality.
No one can remain calm in the face of eternal life.
After Raymond finished speaking, even he was somewhat exhausted, yet he still pressed down the excitement in his heart to continue.
“Finally, the Security Team and Logistic Team, who have made significant contributions to Dawn City during this period, are rewarded by the Kachar City Lord with 5 points for every member of both teams.”
Wow~ Another wave of noise erupted.
At this point, many who had plans to join felt a painful twinge of regret.
If only they had known about the rewards from the Kachar City Lord; how good it would have been to join!
But their regret was to deepen even more.
“Currently, the method to earn points—after every adult is granted land, paying thirty percent tax annually on time will earn them 1 point.”
“The other channels for earning points will be opened in the future, so please cherish the points you hold in your hands,”
After Raymond read out the last word, his face was filled with joy.
He hadn’t expected that just after joining the Security Team he would encounter such good fortune; 5 points! Starting today, he would have the privilege of priority access to food and entry to important places, and most crucially, he would also have priority in today’s land allocation.
It was simply awesome.
Meanwhile, the crowd below was green with envy, all of them regretting why they weren’t members of the Security Team or the Logistics Team, as earning points was more difficult than they believed.
Such difficulty also made the group realize the preciousness of the points.
Not just the Security Team, members of the Logistics Team were also cheering.
Even with Recker’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but smile. Although he, the captain of the Logistics Team, didn’t earn many more points, his 5 points already afforded him enough privileges among a crowd where everyone else had zero.
Little Oli ran out from the crowd, excited when he saw Recker.
“Big brother Recker, I also got 5 points, hahaha~ I can also get priority in land allocation now!!”
“Uncle Pat, you’re here too? Where’s Little Pat? Once we earn more points, we can send Little Pat to school to learn knowledge and Magic, just like those Noble lords.”
Patril, who had agreed to join the Logistics Team at Recker’s invitation, was filled with gratitude towards Recker. If it were not for his invitation, not to mention the dream of sending Little Pat to a Noble school in the future, even earning a single point would have been difficult.
Think about the announcement just made, earning one point only after paying a year’s tax on the land; the difficulty of obtaining points was beyond imagination.
“Oli, Little Pat is at home. Uncle Pat needs to thank you and Recker too,”
After saying this, Patril bowed deeply to the two of them.
Oli, a little flustered, quickly helped Patril up, while Recker simply smiled and did not stop him.
But he knew, he had done the right thing.
He had successfully made the lives of his friends better, whether it was Oli, Patril, or his cousin Raymond. All were influenced by him.
“Big brother Recker, there’s another point on the announcement,” Oli, his face dotted with freckles, hesitated.
“What else? Become Nobles?” Recker said, “Oli, that will take a very long time.”
Oli shook his head, looking at the Bloodline who stood guard in the shadows, an inexplicable longing flashing across his face.
“It’s the last point, to become a Holy Light Bloodline; I, I want to become a Holy Light Bloodline.”
After saying this, the originally nervous Oli relaxed upon seeing Patril and Recker’s calm expressions.
He had thought that they would reprimand him loudly, and after waiting a moment and seeing that they hadn’t spoken, asked somewhat puzzledly, “Big brother Recker, don’t you want to know the reason?”
Recker patted his hair and smiled nonchalantly, “Silly boy, who wouldn’t want eternal Life? But what you should be thinking about now is how to earn 200 points.”
Upon hearing the first part, Oli had lit up with joy, but instantly deflated after hearing the rest.
200 points? By the Life Goddess, 100 points could make one a Noble, how long would 200 points take?
A hint of regret in his heart, if there was a chance, he must become a Holy Light Bloodline.
This young man, who initially harbored a strong aversion to the Bloodline, had quietly become a loyal supporter of the Bloodline in just half a month.
But what he didn’t know was that his wish was actually not difficult to realize.
