Chapter 32

It was similar to what Lin Dong thought. She was saying that they should seize the opportunity of this open trade agreement and strive to enter the privileged class.

The students would help each other and progress together.

For a moment, many students were moved. Luo Fei could not help but be overjoyed as he listened, wishing that he could stand up and applaud.

Since most of the students were from the commoner class. The most powerful ones only had a little power in the commoner class, and there was still a huge gap between them and the privileged class.

Zhao Yan’s words had touched their hearts.

Lin Dong listened attentively on the surface, but his heart did not waver.

There was nothing wrong with finding a way to advance to the privileged class, and there was nothing wrong with working together. It was just that it was not suitable for him. He had already stepped into the privileged class and become the commander of the Spark battleship. Once he was done, he would become a part of the privileged class, so he did not need to pay too much attention to it.

However, Zhao Yan was not a bad person. No matter what, it was not a bad thing to persuade people to work hard and strive for a better life.

However, it was very difficult to get promoted to the privileged class.

Step by step, they passed the selection process and entered the academy. After a few rounds of hard work, only the best of them could get a certain Spark battleship and get the chance to slowly climb up from the bottom.

Moreover, even after experiencing so much, they might not be able to succeed. One day, the battleship might get destroyed in an alternate space battlefield.

They might even get killed fighting with the privileged class

Lin Dong did not participate in this gathering before he reincarnated. At that time, the Thunder Flash had suffered a heavy blow and was still short of energy. He was focused on resolving the energy crisis and was not in the mood to participate in the gathering.

He even rejected Luo Fei’s invitation.

Unlike Lin Dong, who lacked interest, most of the students who participated in the gathering were rather active.

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, a few more people rushed to the stage to speak. Basically, they were mainly in agreement and encouraged others to join in.

They wanted to work together to create a promotion channel and compete with each other.

Within 2 hours, they had agreed to work together. They even sorted out a simple division of labor plan and contact details. They also had recommended the names of the members and the organizers.

They were really active.

Lin Dong was standing amongst them. However, he was acting, and he told them he might consider it when he returned home.

This was a normal performance that was quite in line with his status as a interstellar miner.

As for whether he would really follow them to Baron Soro’s territory to participate in the Battleship Academy’s entrance examination, that was naturally impossible.

After the agreement was signed, it would be at least 2 months later.

At that time, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Dong should have received a notice from Baron Soro’s territory to prepare for his return.

After the gathering ended, a small number of students made an appointment to hold the next gathering, while the rest left one after another.

Just as Lin Dong was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhao Yan.

Luo Fei, Li Ziqing, Ding Ling and the rest were also stopped by Zhao Yan.

With regards to Zhao Yan’s actions, Lin Dong knew what she wanted to do.

Indeed, compared to her sweet smile at the party earlier and her thoughtful reception, she appeared rather courteous.

After only a small number of people were left, Zhao Yan withdrew the smile on her face and turned solemn.

The people she had left behind were different from her classmates from before. She valued each of them differently. If they worked together, they might be able to proceed even faster, which would be a better way to break the barriers between different classes.

Upon seeing that the people left behind were waiting for her to speak, Zhao Yan pushed back the hair on her forehead and said, “What I said in front of everyone just now was true. What I was thinking was, as classmates, if I can help you all, I’ll try my best to do so.”

“Then now, I hope that the few of you here can help me too!”

Everyone was silent.

Luo Fei, who was initially in a daze, also had clear eyes. He lowered his head and did not say anything.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan was not surprised.

They had been through a lot for the past few years. Hence, they would not voice their opinions and thoughts just because of Zhao Yan’s words.

If they were really easily tricked, she would actually look down on them.

The people that Zhao Yan left behind were all people she thought highly of. They were the few outstanding students in her class.

“Ding Ling, your father is the head of security, but you still has brothers and sisters at home. Even though he’s deeply trusted by Baron Darkmoon, there are so many heads of security in Baron Darkmoon’s territory. Does he have a way to send all his children to work under Baron Darkmoon?”

“Even if there are spots, how many can your family get? Do you think you’ll get a spot too?”

This time, Zhao Yan purposefully started to target Ding Ling.

Ding Ling was also the one with the best family background among them.

When Ding Ling was with Lin Dong, she was very shy. However, she was unusually calm when she heard Zhao Yan’s harsh words.

She sat up straight and softly said, “Even if I am not valued at home, it’s not a problem for me to work under Baron Darkmoon. At least, I’m still better than you, Zhao Yan.”

Zhao Yan did not think much of it. “If you just want to find a stable job and marry someone in the future, then I won’t keep you.”

Ding Ling lowered her head and did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan turned to look at Li Ziqing. “Ziqing, among the girls in the class, you have a relatively high IQ. I know you didn’t plan to stay here forever. However, Baron Darkmoon will objectively limit your growth. Do you really think that you can inherit your father’s company just because you’re the financial affairs of his company?”

“Your father’s mistress has a 3-year-old kid. I don’t think it’s your turn to inherit the company any time soon.”

Li Ziqing looked at Zhao Yan coldly, and her expression was awful.

“You’re so nosy. It’s a pity that you didn’t work as a reporter. Since I didn’t want to stay here forever, why would I care about that lousy company?”

“Besides, do you think that Baron Darkmoon and Baron Soro’s open trade agreement negotiations have started recently? They’ve been in contact for 2 years. They sped up the process a month ago. I know the details better than you.”

The smile on Zhao Yan’s face disappeared, but she did not take it to heart. Instead, she turned to look at Luo Fei.

“Luo Fei, have you completed the initial stage of the meditation technique? If you haven’t, you’ll be questioned by a lot of people. How are you going to inherit your family business?”

Luo Fei calmly looked into Zhao Yan’s eyes, and he voiced out, “The meditation technique is a skill that only nobles have. I don’t know anything about it. The Luo family only has a technique that trains our physical body. As for whether or not I can inherit the family business, it’s none of your business.”

Zhao Yan once again smiled, but she did not point it out.

Her next target was Lin Dong. Only by pointing out everyone’s weaknesses, or rather, their flaws, would she be able to better control the tempo and allow everything to go according to her plan, in order to achieve her goal.

However, before she could speak, Lin Dong first waved his hand and said, “There is no need for me to mention it. A commoner from the Welfare Institute, I’m just a nobody.”

“It’s a waste of time to talk about me, why don’t we just get down to business.”

“Hahaha.”

“Hmph.”

“Tsk.”

A few indecipherable sneers sounded out, causing the atmosphere to become lively.

Zhao Yan also looked at Lin Dong with a faint smile.

Lin Dong rolled his eyes, as he leaned back and uttered, “Zhao Yan, let’s get down to business.”

Since Lin Dong could not stop her, he would just let her continue.
