Chapter 1387: 1298, four plans Chapter 1387: 1298, four plans This discussion took much longer, with council mbers steadfast in their own argunts.
So suggested full compensation, since Hymn is gone, the Hub must take on the responsibilities of Hymn;
Others proposed only partial compensation, stating it sufficient to help rebuild the planet where Su Yu resides, without excessive funds;
There were also those who argued for no compensation at all, claiming it shouldn’t set a precedent! The compensation for just one planet like Su Yu’s is on the scale of four to five hundred billion, and there’s no telling how many lower civilizations have recently participated in the “Civilization Ascension Plan”. If there were a few more, dozens, or hundreds, could they afford it?
During the debate, Su Yu also took a mont to glance at the public discussion area.
The public discussion area was also vigorously debating, everyone expressing their own views on the issue. However, everyone’s opinion varied, there were those in agreent, those in disagreent, and so who agreed partially or mostly.
During the discussion, so council mbers on stage asked for opinions from the Stellar Level elites, who each expressed their views, so in agreent and others not.
Legion Commander Daland’s view was rather innovative, proposing a new idea: “My personal opinion is to provide compensation, but it should depend on the future contributions of the native civilization to the Fig Hub; the greater their contribution, the more compensation they should receive.”
Looking at the chaotic debate in the assembly, Cat Morning Star turned to look at Su Yu: “Nesis, what do you think the outco of this discussion will end up as?”
“How would I know?” Su Yu shook his head and said, “Right now there are all kinds of opinions, almost evenly split between agreent and disagreent, and many council mbers have other thoughts…
But it doesn’t matter, the true compensation Hymn already gave us, getting this one would be great, but it’s not a big deal if we don’t… Still, with so many resources, we still hope we can get it!”
“Indeed.” Cat Morning Star nodded.
Hymn had already given them the compensation, which were the bodies of Drac and his minions, also valued in the range of four to five hundred billion.
Getting this compensation would indeed be great; not getting it wouldn’t be too heartbreaking.
Su Yu and Morning Star quietly observed, waiting for these elites to co to a conclusion.
If it had been earlier, they would have seen these Planet and Stellar Level elites almost as divine figures!
But after the impact from Hymn, they had lost much reverence for these elites and could regard them equally, watching the debate with a serene mindset.
…
The discussion lasted for half a Feg Ti.
Finally, Acting Chairman Lawrence forcefully halted the discussion, saying: “Ladies and gentlen, we cannot afford to waste too much ti on this issue. If necessary, we can hold a special eting to discuss it further, but for now, let’s end the discussion.
As of now, I have consolidated the four main opinions suggested:
The first opinion is that we should fully compensate and take on the responsibility of Hymn;
The second opinion is to provide partial compensation from a humanitarian perspective, limited only to aiding the reconstruction of native planets, ignoring the rest;
The third opinion, as proposed by Legion Commander Daland, suggests compensating based on contributions, which would be beneficial for both parties;
The fourth opinion is to provide no compensation, to avoid setting a precedent.
Let’s vote on these four options now, and we will temporarily follow the option with the most votes, with room to discuss more suitable thods in the future.”
As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, the voting panel popped up in front of the council mbers, listing the aforentioned four options.
The council could not discuss this matter for too long, as it was a minor issue and each council mber’s ti was extrely valuable.
Therefore, Lawrence wanted everyone to quickly vote for a temporary solution, and other opinions could be discussed later.
…
After brief hesitation, council mbers made their selections on the voting panel.
There was still a bit of ti before the voting results would be published. Cat Morning Star again tilted his head toward Su Yu: “Nesis, which of these four opinions do you think will prevail?”
“2 or 3, maybe.” Su Yu guessed, stroking his chin: “1 and 4 are a bit extre, 2 is clearly better than the first two.
After all, helping our planet rebuild is just a tiny portion of the cost, a symbol of around one or two hundred billion, which is negligible for the volu of the Fig Hub. Option 2 doesn’t spend too much, nor does it completely evade responsibility, so it’s definitely better for those council mbers who prioritize their own interests over options 1 and 4.
Honestly, option 3 isn’t bad either; they could set a very high ‘contribution’ standard for , allowing to earn more with more effort. This way they aren’t evading responsibility, and my contributions could also cover the hub’s losses, creating a win-win situation.
So I guess one of option 2 or 3 should win, but I can’t say for sure which one.”
“Mm, that makes sense.” Cat Morning Star agreed with Su Yu’s reasoning.
In this way, it’s likely that one of options 2 or 3 will prevail, but which one will it be?
…
Soon, the voting results were announced.
Option 1 had 3.4% of the total votes;
Option 2 had 36.2% of the total votes;
Option 3 had 38.1% of the total votes;
Option 4 had 11.9% of the total votes;
The rest were abstentions.
Option 3, the opinion proposed by Legion Commander Daland, won by a narrow margin.
Su Yu’s analysis was accurate; indeed, options 2 and 3 received more acceptance from the council mbers.
Option 2 involved less spending;
While those who wanted to undertake the responsibilities of Hymn and provide full compensation also opted for the more favorable option for the hub between options 1 and 3.
Moreover, since option 3 was proposed by the ambitious Legion Commander Daland, it beca the final winner, giving face to him.
Acting Chairman Lawrence announced, “Alright, I now declare—option 3 to be the final plan.
We will establish a contribution standard; civilizations that have participated in the ‘Civilization Ascension Program’ must contribute adequately to the hub to receive the compensation supposed to be provided by Hymn. The plan will take effect starting today.”
Seeing the plan confird, the council mbers below discussed quietly or sent remote ssages to each other, sharing their thoughts on the plan.
But regardless of which opinion the council mbers held, this plan was not absolutely unacceptable, so no one stood up to oppose it.
In the public discussion area, the vast majority of Fig residents also approved of this plan.
Under the current circumstances, coming up with a mutually beneficial plan was the best outco.
Finally, Lawrence turned to Daland: “Legion Commander Your Excellency, since this plan was proposed by you, let the Fig Guard establish the contribution standards.
Now that the governnt agencies are not yet fully established, the Defense Force is the most suitable candidate.”
