Chapter 1672: 1560, tenfold salary

This line of text initially appeared as a small annotation at the bottom of the official website.

But Su Yu, worried that no one would see it, enlarged the text and placed it in the most prominent spot on the website within minutes.

Upon seeing this explanation, the public finally understood:

"Oh, so that’s what’s going on!"

"No wonder it feels so familiar. It turns out these five planets were occupied and colonized by Intelligent Machines long ago!"

"No wonder two planet-levels emerged among the Intelligent Machines. I always wondered how they had the resources to reach the planet-level; now it makes sense."

"Alas, we and the carbon-based life on those planets share the same fate, like brothers in adversity."

"It’s just a pity that the primitive life on those planets has gone extinct. I wonder if the Intelligent Machines left anything behind?"

"Probably nothing left. The Intelligent Machines aren’t like us carbon-based life, equipped with emotions."

"By the way, is Lord Su Yu asking us to actively enlist? Is everyone responding?"

"Enlist? No way!"

"Definitely not enlisting. Why would I enlist?"

"Going to the frontlines to fight is risking death! Especially in this kind of interstellar war, who knows how many will die?"

"I support attacking these planets. But it’s just verbal support; I absolutely cannot offer any effort."

...

...

This explanation spread quickly among the public.

Most people found it quite acceptable; Su Yu’s explanation indeed made logical sense.

But when it came to recruitment, the public response was sparse.

Interstellar combat, especially this kind of interstellar war, sounded intimidating at first glance.

Unless by chance, no carbon-based lifeform would likely respond to Su Yu’s recruitment call.

Cat Morning Star had also anticipated this issue.

She tilted her head and asked Su Yu beside her, "Nemesis, what do you plan to do?"

Su Yu was confident; he smiled and said, "It’s simple, we can sweeten the deal. Dolphin, draft an announcement for me."

A few minutes later, another announcement appeared on the homepage of the official website.

This was a recruitment regulation, the "Interstellar War Recruitment Regulations."

The first half of the recruitment details was standard, specifying the scope of recruitment, and the duties of soldiers and officers, among other things.

But in the latter half, the tone suddenly changed!

Regarding soldier and officer remuneration, Su Yu made a bold move by entering a staggering figure!

The carbon-based lifeforms in the Southern Hemisphere also had armies since the major factions frequently had internal conflicts, making it impossible not to have armed enforcement organizations.

Military salaries were generally high, usually 3-5 times that of conventional industries.

However, the figure that Su Yu entered was extremely shocking: He simply added a "0" at the end, making the enlistment pay ten times that of previous military compensation!

As a result, those who clicked into the recruitment details were instantly stunned!

They couldn’t believe their eyes as they stared at the numbers, their spirits receiving a massive impact.

"What is this?"

"How much?"

"A senior (Third Rank) soldier earning 10 standard units of Spiritual Energy annually?"

"10 standard units, isn’t that terrifying?"

"More than terrifying, it’s downright unbelievable!"

With a global recruitment strategy like Su Yu’s, the troops’ salaries obviously wouldn’t be settled in a single nation’s currency but directly in Spiritual Energy; Spiritual Energy is forever a hard currency.

Coincidentally, the Southern Hemisphere’s army also had a Spiritual Energy settlement system in place.

Previously, a senior (Third Rank) soldier’s annual income was about 1 standard unit of Spiritual Energy, with pay increasing roughly tenfold with each rank advancement. The officer system and earning Military Merits attracted additional income.

But Su Yu didn’t follow the norm, giving all soldiers a tenfold increase in salary. A senior (Third Rank) could earn 10 standard units of Spiritual Energy, a Hill Level (Fourth-tier) could earn 100 units, and so on. How could the average citizen not be shocked!

If this were on the previous Blue Star, it would be like hearing that an average person with a monthly salary of three thousand could make a hundred thousand a month by enlisting. How could one not be tempted?

Instantly, societal discourse was in an uproar:

"These salaries are terrifying!"

"How do you enlist? I remember the requirements for enlistment aren’t high, right?"

"The official website has a registration channel. Enough talk; I’m signing up now!"

"Wait, didn’t you say earlier that you wouldn’t enlist?"

"Ahem, that was before. Now is now. Now I’m a proud expedition soldier!"
