Novel Full Chapter 330 Birthing Spree
Ten years later, in Lantern City:
Celebration and feasting filled every corner of the city.
After over a decade, under the efforts of hundreds of millions of people, Lantern City was finally built.
On stage, an award ceremony was being conducted.
“And the Lantern City’s Model Couple is Beth and Richard!”
“Let’s give applause to this amazing couple.”
Beth and Richard walked gracefully onto the stage, receiving their well-deserved applause.
“Beth and Richard have had nine children over the past decade, achieving the pinnacle of life.”
“I wish everyone here could follow the example of this model couple and work hard,” the MC advised as if it were the truth of life.
The crowd was shocked to hear of the couple’s achievement.
“Nine children in a decade?!”
“Are these two pigs?!”
“Sigh, what an amazing fertility. We only had 6 children despite working hard day and night.”
“Tsk, tsk, this is nothing. I heard of another city where a couple gave birth to 30 children in just a decade.”
“What?! How is that even possible?!”
“Hey, they had a rare condition that allowed them to give birth to multiple children in one sitting.”
“Fortunately, the medical conditions of the empire are top-notch; otherwise, they would be laid in bed forever.”
“Tsk, what an enviable couple. Unfortunately, I don’t have a wife yet.”
Observing the crowd, Beth and Richard simply smiled.
Since the birth incentive was promulgated ten years ago, the population has boomed like the seas and stars.
From over 3 quadrillion people to over 10 quadrillion people, over 300 percent increase.
However, what can they say? The rewards are really generous.
An ordinary child without any talent, one would receive 1 Crystal Credit, which is equivalent to 10 million copper credits.
As a class three citizen, with daily subsidies of 100 copper, it would take them almost 300 years to accumulate that amount.
Yet, after giving birth to a child, they could receive that in one lump.
This is still if the child is talentless!
Those with rank 1 potential could receive 10 crystal credits, those with rank 2 potential would receive 100 crystal credits, and those with rank 3 potential would receive 1,000 crystals.
As for those who gave birth to rank 4 legendary potential, one would receive 100,000 crystal credits, plus various benefits.
Such as class increase, free property, tax exemptions, etc.
Basically, after giving birth to a child of that caliber, both the parents and the child would be set for life.
As for having rank 5 mythic potential?
They could only drool thinking about its benefits.
Just the money was ten million crystal credits, richer than most tier 5-tier 6 individuals.
Regardless, with rank 6 Divine potential, one could ascend directly to the top and be nurtured by the empire.
Various resources, training exercises, teachers, etc., would be provided for free.
Basically, as long as a person had that talent, all the things that could be bought in the empire were basically free.They’re like walking goldmines that could suck the golden blood of the empire.
As for potentials above that, from transcendent to primordial potential?
That was already out of the question.
Even now, with the population explosion, less than five people have rank 6 Divine potential, much less rank 7 and above.
Ten years ago, Richard and Beth were originally an ordinary couple budding in love.
However, upon hearing about these crazy incentives, the two got crazy and married on the spot.
Marriage in the Moonlight Empire was quite easy and traditional.
Both couples only had to register their marriage and swear an oath in front of the emperor’s shrine or statue.
After receiving their certificate, the two quickly got into the child-making activity.
Watching all kinds of tutorials and taking healthy supplements, it can be said that their marriage is a happy one.
Soon, a year later, a child was conceived under their love.
With luck given by the heavens, their child had rank 3 potential, sending them into euphoria.
A thousand crystals!
The child they were holding was equivalent to generations of wealth!
One has to know that although the daily subsidies can provide them with enough food and even indulgence from time to time, it’s not enough.
The past is different from the present.
In the past, they were only thinking about survival.
As long as they had food and a home, they were already satisfied.
However, after being exposed to the glamorous life they see and hear about in the token, they also wanted to live like it.
Eating various exotic foods, indulging in a paradise-like place, getting a house where they could run and play, etc.
The world seemed to be open in their eyes, but they couldn’t reach it, like a moon in the lake.
However, with the birth of their first child, all their dreams seemed to come true.
Upon receiving their first bag of gold, they went on a shopping spree like crazy lunatics.
All kinds of things that they had dreamed of in the past were bought and consumed.
The places they had been longing to visit were finally explored and enjoyed.
As for their child left in the incubation facility, they had no worries.
The Empire would ensure the healthy growth of a child until it had a mind of its own and needed parents.
Soon after indulging in all sorts of extravagances, their money was depleted like water.
Returning to their child, they couldn’t help but be speechless.
They had been so reckless that they used up all the future money meant for their child.
Fortunately, their child met all the qualifications to advance to class two citizenship.
Based on potential, place of birth, and various tests conducted in the incubation facility, their child became a class two citizen at birth.
Apparently, becoming a class two citizen now was more stringent.
In the past, simply being born in the empire would automatically grant class two citizenship.
Now, one has to undergo various tests, make enough contributions, or possess sufficient strength to qualify.
Nevertheless, the benefits had also increased.
Just the daily subsidies reached 1 gold credit, which is 10,000 copper coins, a hundred times more than before.
This amount alone had quadrillions of people striving hard just to qualify.
1 Gold per day?! Isn’t that the meaning of life?
With it, one no longer needed to workand could still live a middle-class life full of delicious food and beautiful clothes.
Unfortunately, they were too lazy and lacked patience; Otherwise, they could have taken advantage of those free classes.
With a thousand crystal credits, they would probably be a tier 1 mage or knight by now.
Achieving that, they would reach the peak of life in an instant as a class 2 citizen.
Now, they could only rely on their child to get by.
Fortunately, with a gold coin per day from their child, they could still live a nouveau-rich life.
Unfortunately, after a few months, reminiscing about their fairy-like life, being nouveau rich is not enough.
Working day and night, they conceive another child.
This time, they were not as lucky and only had a child with rank 2 potential, which earned them 100 crystal merits.
Being smarterand not wanting to continue their cycle of giving birth andthen indulging, they used the hundred crystal merits for training.
Soon, a few months passed, and they became trainee mages and knights purely with resources.
Seeing such progress, the husband and wife became ecstatic as they were closer to their dream of becoming class two citizens.
After all, although they could rely on their two children, it would not be pleasant once they became adults.
Yes, their newly born son was a class two citizen at birth, which made them envious.
However, thinking that they were the ones who gave birth to them, the smiles on their faces returned.
With double the good news and the hundred crystal credits depleted, the two worked again to conceive another child.
Giving birth to another child with rank 2 potential, they became disappointed for a while.
However, thinking of their talents, the first child probably just had exceptionally good luck to possess rank 3 potential.
Fortunately, with their excellent genes, the child could still pass the test to become a class two citizen at birth.
After receiving their reward, they started their training journey again, consuming resources with fervor.
Afterwards, when the money was gone, they continued to give birth to earn money.
Basically, over these ten years, they were busy giving birth and consuming resources.
Fortunately, all their hard work was not in vain.
They finally reached tier 1 realm, fulfilling their dream of becoming class two citizens.
However, looking at it now, their dream seemed too childish.
1 gold coin per day?
Sure, it was awesome at first, but having achieved their strength today, earning a hundred times more money was easy.
Furthermore, with all their children qualifying to be class two citizens at birth, their original obsession with money and pleasure diminished to a large degree.
Now, they only wanted to train and live a longer life.
After all, materialistic things are nothing if one has no life to enjoy them.
