Chapter 151 My head is so itchy, I need to grow a brain.

"A deliveryman?" Li Zhe murmured.

A mecha pilot who doesn't want to be a deliveryman isn't a champion of justice?
To be fair, ever since the emergence of mecha pilots, these chosen ones, on Earth...

People often joke that if the mech pilots had the hangar maintenance capabilities, they could make a lot of money a day delivering food.

Joking aside, this capability has indeed brought about a qualitative change to the entire logistics system of Earth.

Li Zhe checked the official website of the Global Strategic Logistics Support and Materials Coordination Department.

I browsed through the articles and papers mentioned above...

The data is quite detailed and abundant, which is enough to show that the existing logistics system on Earth is gradually undergoing a disruptive transformation.

"Wait a minute! Why the hell am I suddenly looking at this stuff?"

Li Zhe rubbed his temples, trying to calm his thoughts, which had been clouded by knowledge.

If you are comfortable with it, then proceed with it.

Since I've been assigned this position, I'll just do it properly.

Li Zhe didn't have any particular feelings about the title of "courier".

Back in the orphanage in that godforsaken place, I had to sprint like a 100-meter dash just to snatch that extra half chicken leg from the cafeteria.

Compared to back then, this job is practically a paid vacation now.

Moreover, the "benefits" hidden behind this seemingly ordinary position are far more attractive than the meager salary of a section chief.

[Commander, based on my initial penetration and analysis of GPSLN's internal access control database...]

In my mind, the AI ​​"Zero" mimicked Star's cool voice, like a clear spring, precisely sorting through the complex information.

This department holds the highest priority authority over the allocation of supplies by the coalition government. All the most cutting-edge, rarest, and even most experimental materials and equipment undergo coordination through this system before being distributed to the front lines.

As a core member of the 'East Asia Theater First Emergency Response Task Force,' you will have the highest level of 'Priority Delivery Rights' and 'Emergency Supplies Deployment Rights.'

Ling paused for a moment, then projected a list of supplies that shimmered with an alluring light.

[These include various alternative materials for "Faith Anchors" that can be used in the construction of the "Third New Tokyo City" fortress, as well as... several special projects classified as top secret.]

"A publicly funded trip, and on the way, you can even get key materials for free?"

A knowing smile curved the corners of Li Zhe's mouth.

This is incredible! They've infiltrated the organization!

He leaned comfortably back on the sofa and opened the futuristic GPSLN internal community interface.

The entire interface is designed like a high-end military-style social platform—simple, efficient, and full of a masculine aesthetic.

The homepage features real-time scrolling battle reports, lists of material needs, and various technical discussion threads, making it a feast for the eyes.

Li Zhe's gaze was quickly drawn to a heated debate post at the very top of the forum, highlighted in red and featured.

The post's title was full of hostility—

"Elitism vs. Democratization: Is the Mech Pilot Assessment and Entry System Creating a New 'Superhuman Class'?"

Clicking on the post reveals even more fascinating content. Those who support the "elitism" argument are mostly mecha pilots from privileged backgrounds or with exceptional talent.

Their argument is simple and blunt: mech pilots are the guardians of human civilization, warriors walking on the edge of a knife, and every sortie is accompanied by mortal danger.

Such a noble mission naturally requires the most stringent selection criteria to exclude all "mediocre talents" and ensure that every precious resource is used on the most outstanding warriors.

Those who support "democratization" vehemently refuted this, arguing that the existing assessment system is solidifying a new class barrier.

They believe that the power of mechs should belong to all of humanity, not be the privilege of a select few.

Excessively high barriers will only cause ordinary people to lose hope and exacerbate internal social conflicts and divisions.

The two sides went back and forth, citing classical texts and debating everything from ancient myths to the stars and the sea, from the superiority of genes to social Darwinism.

The building was taller than the ruins of Tokyo, and the battle was as fierce as a small-scale "Operation Sunset".

In this chaotic battle, an online opinion leader with the ID "Mingquan Xianfeng" was particularly active.

His words were sharp and inflammatory.

【Mingquan Xianfeng】: "Hehe, some people always like to stand on the moral high ground and talk about 'elites' and 'responsibility'. But have they ever thought about how much of your so-called 'talent' is built on the sacrifices of ordinary people? You pilot mechs that cost as much as a small city and enjoy the highest level of logistical support, yet you turn around and criticize those who can't even get enough to eat for 'not working hard enough'? What arrogance and hypocrisy this is!"

【Mingquan Xianfeng】: "I am not denying the necessity of the assessment, I am just questioning its 'uniqueness'! Why must one pass those few cold tests to determine whether a person is qualified to protect their homeland? Don't the workers, farmers, and scientists who silently dedicate themselves in the rear deserve respect for their passion? I suggest opening up a channel for all mecha pilots to apply, so that everyone has the opportunity to fight for their own destiny!"

These words instantly ignited the enthusiasm of countless ordinary people and grassroots mecha pilots, with a flood of supporters posting comments.

For a time, Mingquan Xianfeng was hailed by countless people as a hero who "pleaded for the people," and his reputation was unparalleled.

Li Zhe frowned slightly as he read these comments.

[Commander, an abnormal meme amplification effect has been detected in the information flow behind this ID.]

Zero's voice rang out at the opportune moment, tinged with a hint of wariness.

[The dissemination path and influence of their statements have exceeded the scope of conventional online opinion leaders, and behind them... there are obvious signs of a monstrous abyss, 'fake' information manipulation.]

It's those same scumbags who can't stand the light of day again.

Li Zhe sneered inwardly.

The methods of the Abyss are indeed all-pervasive.

They are well aware that destroying a civilization from the outside is extremely difficult, but dismantling it from within is often much more efficient.

Inciting division among the masses and creating social rifts allows forces that could have united to be worn down by endless internal strife...

They've mastered this tactic to an unparalleled degree.

However, the question raised by [Mingquan Xianfeng] is indeed not unfounded.

The existence of mech pilots has indeed created a structural inequality in an invisible way.

When a few people possess power capable of destroying the world, the line between them and ordinary people becomes increasingly blurred.

Today, they are the guardians.

Tomorrow, who can guarantee they won't become the new oppressors...?
