I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

As time went by, the entire society inevitably experienced wealth disparity, turning into a gloomy and miasmal environment.

Thus, they simply prohibited this practice; once verified, both the buyer and seller would be permanently demoted to D-level individuals!

As for Lu Yuan himself, he actually didn't need much in terms of Extraordinary Resources. He had already reached Level Six, and tasting any fruit was merely to savor the flavor, with no real progress.

Only by creating a "Field" could he ascend to Level 7.

Therefore, his fortune had not decreased but rather increased.

Because in the past, the resources produced by the Tree of Life had to feed the human offspring—truly, there was no choice, for they were genuinely impoverished!

But now there was no need, as the yield from a large mountain was quite rich, and Lu Yuan didn't need to use his private treasury for subsidies.

This led to an increase in the number of Pomegranate Fruits and Soul Baby Fruits—only benefiting Miss Conch.

Furthermore, the Opium poppy tree was essentially the private property of Miss Conch. What belonged to the Conch was mine, wasn't it? Now the Opium poppy tree no longer needed to be overdrawn, accumulating a substantial amount of Energy each year to produce even more high-end materials.

In the end, Lu Yuan himself was also a top-tier S-level talent, enjoying the benefits provided by human society...

Of course, he didn't really need anything; he just liked to use the materials from the National Treasury legitimately, honing his crafting skills.

...

...

That day, early in the morning, students began writing programs, displaying the corresponding reports on the public bulletin board in the plaza.

The Green Daily sold out in an instant, its popularity explosive.

"Extra, extra, after deliberations by the upper council, the production from Green Mountain will allocate 95% for public use, with the remaining 5% reserved for future emergency storage."

"The talent assessment policy is officially announced... B-level for advanced talents, C-level for basic societal talents, and D-level strictly for the criminal population."

"Extra, extra..."

With the enactment of these policies, it was like a heavy bomb had been dropped on human society, creating a huge splash!

In recognition of the "Mountain Moving Plan's" significant achievements, the government reassigned the vast majority, over 400,000 people, to the B-level training standards.

This expenditure was, in fact, somewhat unsustainable for humans at present.

Fortunately, it was only four years, and the resources in the National Treasury could just about manage.

After four years, the talent standards would be reassessed.

Seeing the welfare benefits for B-level, a passionate smile bloomed on everyone's faces.

In Green Grass Supermarket, a new section titled "Extraordinary Products Supply Area" was added, where everyone could collect their annual resources with their identification card. It was bustling, queues filled everywhere.

"Hey, guys, let's take a stroll in the supermarket. We've got annual leave for once, don't just stand around here."

Sha Kan'er, Lu Ying, and a few young warriors, also joining in the excitement, squeezed in for a bit, subconsciously wanting to maintain public order, then realizing there were no troublemakers at all—jokingly, this was the most secure human place; anyone daring to steal would be instantly demoted.

They couldn't help but smile at each other.

They were warriors from the first, second, and third generations, really having a fair age difference, though in the military, the generation gap wasn't so large.

"Pomegranate Fruit Wine, one bottle for 168 credits. Wonder how it tastes?"

"What is this... Bone Strengthening Powder? Rich in Life Essence, speeds up cultivation, 76 credits a bottle?"

"Leaves of the Low-level Life Tree, 889 credits... can be used as a pillow, containing Life Essence effective for 10 years."

"Sea Blue Stone scraps, 729 credits... contains a small amount of Ideal Energy. Really expensive!"

B-level talents have a yearly usage limit of 1000 credits.

Everyone could pick what they wanted from the supermarket. Each year the limit resets, non-cumulative.

The most expensive item was just 1000 credits, a type of jade to accelerate cultivation, made from scraps of inferior extraordinary materials, no longer usable for crafting equipment, given here for the common people.

Naturally, even more high-end materials were not sold carelessly.

Sha Kan'er touched here and looked there, his eyes dazzled. He truly didn't realize humans had created so much wealth.

Turning around, his comrades had already chosen, flashy bags all filled up.

Each one was animatedly discussing something.

All kinds of messed-up stuff, they all wanted to taste it.

"Captain, why are you dawdling?"

"Buy that fruit wine, even Level 5 can use it, and the Tree of Life's leaves are good too, let's take them home for pillows.."

Sha Kan'er was from the first generation, thrifty and always comparison shopping was ingrained in his very bones, deeply rooted in his thinking.

Even though he knew that you get what you pay for, he still subconsciously wanted to spend a long time choosing.

That young warrior excitedly said, "These corn silk pills were developed by my older sister after several years of research, should we buy some to try? It's not expensive anyway."

The second-generation warrior, Lu Ying, said, "Bought them, bought them, oh... feeling a bit warm, my whole body feels warm, this Life Essence... not bad at all!"

"You better activate the Extraordinary Spark! Don't waste it."

"Hey, I'm already Level Four, this bit of Essence is still better suited for you guys."

They actually started cultivating right then and there.

"Ah, you guys... really are...," Sha Kan'er hesitated to speak further.

Well, his way of thinking now, maybe it's the one that's outdated.

The young people's way of thinking, that's the correct one.

Government gives you a usage quota, isn't it meant to be spent?

And in the east of the supermarket, Lu Yuan's image was talking eloquently on the big screen, "A momentary enthusiasm is hard to sustain, only with everyone's effort can passion last."

"Green Mountain itself serves to provide Extraordinary Resources, it's also time to give back to everyone."

"I hope more that all friends, all comrades, do not slack off, persist in building our civilization."

"If one day, the number of Extraordinary Resources we can obtain allows us to achieve a nationwide Level B standard, how great that would be..."

"That way we could all rise to Level 3, maybe even Level 4."

"This is also a little dream of mine, to have everyone reach 12 God Attributes, I wonder when this dream will come true..."

Enthusiastic discussions echoed in the supermarket, interspersed with occasional laughter.

...

"Not bad, initially almost nationwide Level B popularization, everyone's feedback was very good," Old Cat walked over and said.

Lu Yuan looked at the bustling Green Grass Supermarket and also let down the heart he had been holding up.

The footage on the screen was recorded last night, and it took several hours.

Well, he was also quite cunning now, giving welfare speeches was something he did... and who doesn't like welfare?

As for various policies that get criticized, he never personally issued them.

"Comrade, quick, let's be part of the Water Army together!"

Lu Yuan and Old Cat, sitting in a row, started fiddling with the newly developed cell phone—"Green Power 888".

A screen with 256 colors, only having functions to send messages, make calls, send emails, and log into the government forum.

For people nowadays, these features were enough.

[Follow up with the necessities of a good life: Analysis on the transformation of the social welfare system in the New Era Green City]

This paper was pinned and marked in red in the government forum.

Public discussions were quite complex, eagerly stating various opinions.

Someone was calculating, almost everyone had four years of Level B welfare, 1000 quota per person, a heavy social expense, potentially causing a serious government deficit.

Old Cat couldn't help scratching himself, "Hey, they have no idea, comrade, how rich you are. The expenditure for one year is less than 200 Spirit Essence, just a sprinkle of water is all."

"Forget about it, sustainable development is better. I can't sustain them for a thousand years, ten thousand years."

Some were worried about sustainable development issues, traveling in the ocean, might some Extraordinary Resources' production decrease?

Others questioned, how exactly is Level B judged? It relates to personal interests, no wonder they're worried.
