Chapter 291 - 290: The Magical Earth
"I need to correct two misconceptions you have..."
Lu Xing said, "Neither the collective system nor the elite policy were proposed by me. The collective system has existed since ancient times, and its true proposer has passed away many years ago. The proposer of the all-member elite policy is the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Constant Star Demon Star. It was he who proposed the all-member elite policy and talked to us about the importance of education. Eventually, he established the all-member elite policy and the New Star Plan as the long-term policies of the Wandering Alliance, unwavering even until the destruction of the Universe."
"Oh, so it was proposed by Constant Star, I really didn’t expect that. Not only is Constant Star exceptional in combat, but also in management skills," representatives from the Eternal Life Civilization and the Mushroom Civilization were shocked and could not help but look at the dazzling Constant Star in the sky.
Lu Xing continued, "Secondly, my identity is really quite ordinary, and I am not leading the Earth Civilization. To be precise, it is the collective that we are all part of that leads each of us. Perhaps, by the time you visit Earth again, I may no longer hold my current position."
A person from Mushroom Star asked, "What do you mean by this? Do you mean to say that even in the Eternal Life era, leaders need to be changed?"
Lu Xing somewhat helplessly said, "Our cultures are different, you may not understand what I mean. But as you mentioned, indeed our leadership positions need to be changed. However, the term ’change of term’ is not precise. The term ’rotating duty’ more accurately describes the leadership system under our collective system."
Seeing that the representatives from both civilizations were still confused, Lu Xing continued to explain: "The duty system is simply like a CEO of a company, where people from the duty group take turns on duty. This means that, in fact, everyone has the chance to be a leader, so the position of leader is really a very common one now. You might find it easier to understand this way."
"It’s truly amazing, Earth. I doubt if what we define as their leader is the same thing. You actually casually rotate duty without fearing any mess? Everyone’s ideas must also be different, and if there’s no selection process, how do you ensure that your society progresses steadily?"
Despite their incredulity, the Eternal Life Civilization and the Mushroom Civilization finally understood why Lu Xing had mentioned that his position was very ordinary when they first met; it wasn’t out of modesty, but because it truly was ordinary as everyone had the chance to take turns. However, they still didn’t understand why the Wandering Alliance would implement such a puzzling tactic.
Lu Xing stated, "I know you don’t understand, but we are able to implement this system because it is built on our special social framework. As I mentioned before, the all-member elite policy is a long-term policy of the Wandering Alliance. This policy ensures everyone is an elite. Since everyone is an elite, why waste effort in choosing? Therefore, there’s naturally no ’selection’ as you mentioned. Selection in itself is a relatively derogatory term, implying a difference in the quality of the people, which also means there is a disparity in the resources they obtain during their growth. However, the collective system is a group system, a new way of wealth distribution, where people fairly obtain resources."
Upon hearing this, the Eternal Life Civilization and the Mushroom Civilization suddenly saw the light.
Compared to the older brother in the Wandering Alliance, they, as the recently joined younger brothers, were indeed too backward in their thoughts.
