I Can Program My Body?

As Nash walked to the banquet, the eyes of thousands of people began to focus on him.

"Good evening. I thank everyone for taking the time to attend this event…" Nash began with a smile.

"I'm here today to announce the official establishment of the Earth Federation!"

Hearing this, all the guests began to clap in support of Nash's establishment of the Earth Federation.

Having a central government was better than a chaotic place.

As long as their interest weren't touched too much, they didn't care about the subsequent change of government.

"I'm sure you are all curious about the various reforms of the Earth Federation. Let me tell you about them one by one."

Wasting no time, Nash explained the rules, responsibilities, and benefits of the Earth Federation.

First came the rules, which were based on the universal guidelines set by the Nova Sector, which Nash modified to be a little stricter.

The Nova Sector's rules were typically loose, but to manage Earth like a disciplined military, Nash had to impose tighter control.

This strictness wasn't about limiting the people personal freedoms but about fostering productivity.

The system included a clear chain of command, heavy punishments for outlaws, moral codes, penalties for laziness, mandatory education, lifelong service, economic oversight, and more.

Though it might seem like a dictatorship, with the current state of Earth, a tight control was needed to steer it in the right direction.

Due to the people's lack of education and poverty, without absolute control, the whole management would be a mess.

Being easily manipulated, corrupt, influenced, a single touch could collapse the crumbling Earth into chaos.

Furthermore, with the money Nash invested, lax rules would only breed laziness and entitlement.

In the long run, people might treat his contributions as their right. Instead of gratitude, they could turn greedy, resenting him when their demands weren't met.

Mandatory education and lifelong service were the repayment Nash required.

Once they were trained in their respective profession, citizens would be sent to the Virtual World or Dark Plane to earn money for him.

After all, Nash would be investing five trillion merits. Without a return, he wouldn't be so generous.

As for benefits, to ensure loyalty and reduce unrest, Nash was more than generous.

Subsidies covered food, energy, housing, transportation, healthcare, and education.

As long as people followed the rules and contributed, they would be set for life.

For the powerful, talented, and top performers, Nash offered better incentives, bonuses, tax breaks, and more.

The better they performed, the greater their status, benefits, and position.

Talented or not, anyone who followed his system would have no trouble living an affluent life.

Then there were the responsibilities of the people and the Earth Federation.

First was the mandatory education for all ages, testing their talents across various professions.

Unlike typical education, it focused on basic life skills before assessing the most suitable profession for each individual.

Whether it is a fighter, scientist, engineer, doctor, politician, or another profession, everyone would have a place.

It wasn't based on who was more noble or not, but who had more abilities and worked the most.

Once their profession was determined, they would undergo specialized training for 6 to 12 years.

Thereafter, a mandatory annual assessment was required, ensuring their skill hadn't declined, while rewarding those who advanced further.

Among these professions, Fighters bore the greatest responsibilities.

Though their benefits were the most generous, their lives were also the most perilous.

After completing the 6-to-12-year course and passing the Dark Void Warrior qualification trial, they had to venture into the Dark Plane.

There was no requirement for how often they went, only for the number of merits they needed to submit.

Each day, they needed to submit 10 merits, with Void Commanders requiring 1,000 and Void Generals needing 10,000.

Upon reaching the Void Venerate rank, they can choose to stay or leave as they wish.

It might seem harsh, but given the welfare he provided, it was quite reasonable.

This welfare wasn't just money or status but included training resources, weapons, high-quality astral arts, potions, a combat facility, and more.

Picking up the most talented from the bunch for the fighter profession, as long as they weren't lazy, meeting the quota should be easier than most.

As Nash finished explaining his plans, the crowd fell into absolute silence.

Hearing the various bold rules, plans, and responsibilities, most aspiring talents couldn't help but feel excited, envisioning an unprecedented future.

A civilization where everyone contributed, where basic needs were met, and where all could pursue a higher realm of life.

In this way, no matter what their previous status was, they could easily rise in this new era provided they had enough talent.

They didn't need to care about anything but improving their personal abilities.

On the other hand, the void warriors felt solemn.

From now on, they had to obey Nash and venture into the Dark Plane? Wasn't this akin to seeking death?

If they had the courage to face the Dark Plane, why would they still be lingering in the Void Warrior rank?

Having finally reached the transcendent status, instead of enjoying life, they had to be a death soldier earning money worse than those slaves who mined for void crystals.

As for the various representatives and dignitaries, their faces darkened like tree bark.

The one thing the rich and powerful hated the most was control.

According to Nash, whether they had money or not, everyone would face punishment for breaking the rules.

Wasn't this a joke? Even under the Arleanian Civilization's reign, as long as they had money, they could do anything.

Now they had to follow these foolish rules? Wouldn't all their past work, effort, and wealth become useless?

"Those who wish to leave may do so. If you renounce your identity as an Earthling, I'll personally fund your fare to any place in the Nova Sector."

"This—"

Hearing they could leave Earth, with Nash even offering to pay their fare, many void warriors couldn't help but feel tempted.
