Lu Yuan recruited three more insects in Azsuna to assist him and do some logistical work.

Because the tasks of the branch were not particularly complicated, the various affairs of the branch quickly got running smoothly.

After completing the branch setup, Lu Yuan thought of the Smailen Orphanage and Director Mog.

After learning that Rhine would probably not be able to return from the front lines for the next month, Lu Yuan decided to take a business trip to Kami Star to visit the orphanages that the foundation had donated to, and also to check in person whether there were any problems with Dean Mog.

Rhine was quite supportive of Lu Yuan's business trip, because although Kami Star was also a remote planet, it was not within the range of the Alaqi Defense Line and was quite a distance away from planets that could become battlefields.

With war between the Araqi insectoids and the Lu Yuan clan potentially breaking out at any moment, Lu Yuan is actually safer on Kami Star than on Golan Star.

Rhine made only one request: that Lu Yuan bring Brown along.

Lu Yuan initially refused, feeling that Brown also had his own job and shouldn't follow him around.

However, Rhine told Lu Yuan that Brown was someone Rhine had specifically arranged to protect him on Golan Star, and there was nothing else for him to do.

Moreover, the security on remote planets is not as good as that on capital planets. If Lu Yuan does not agree to let Brown go with him, then Rhine will not agree to Lu Yuan going on this business trip.

Lu Yuan thought about it and felt that Rhein was right. He had never been to Kami Star either, and he felt more at ease with Brown following him. Besides, he didn't want Rhein to worry about his safety while he was on the front lines, so he simply agreed.

On the day of departure, Brown came to pick up Lu Yuan so they could go to the port where the spaceship was docked.

Lu Yuan seemed very excited. Although it wasn't his first time traveling in space, it was his first time riding in such a large spaceship.

Although the starship I was on before was also very large, it was still different from civilian spaceships.

The civilian spaceship looks like an oversized flying saucer, with two levels inside. Lu Yuan estimated that it could carry six hundred insects without any problem, but there weren't that many insects on this particular spaceship.

After settling into his seat, the spaceship took off shortly afterward, and the familiar universe reappeared before Lu Yuan's eyes.

After sitting for a while, Lu Yuan started to feel a bit bored, as there was nowhere to move around on the spaceship.

Brown told Lu Yuan that this was because the area was relatively remote, so the spaceships were only the most basic models.

If it were a planet with a relatively developed economy, there would be various luxurious models of spaceships to choose from, and the luxury versions of the spaceships would have a variety of entertainment facilities for passengers to pass the time.

The spaceship traveled for almost a day, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, it docked at the port of Kami.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Brown took Lu Yuan to the hotel he had booked to rest.

The next day, the two insects set off for the orphanages according to their planned itinerary. The first place they went was the Stanz Orphanage where Director Pei Si was located.

Because they had informed Dean Pei Si in advance, Lu Yuan and Brown saw Dean Pei Si with the children, smiling broadly, waiting for them at the orphanage entrance as soon as they arrived.

After meeting, Dean Pei Si exchanged a few pleasantries with Lu Yuan and Brown. At first, Dean Pei Si and Lu Yuan were a little awkward when they spoke, but since the two had chatted online for a long time, they naturally became familiar with each other after a few words.

Lu Yuan also took Brown with him to greet the children one by one and distribute the small gifts he had prepared in advance to them.

After the children dispersed, Dean Pei Si led Lu Yuan and Brown on a tour of the orphanage.

The orphanage looked the same as Lu Yuan had seen through the communicator before; in short, it was ordinary.

Some orphanages on the capital planet deliberately decorate their buildings in a colorful and vibrant way, giving the insects a childlike and warm feeling.

All the buildings inside the Stanz orphanage were drab and gray.

This is because colorful and vibrant items cost more money than dull and gray ones.

Some orphanages on the capital planet are better off financially than the Stanz orphanage, and they also need donations from the Xiongbao Association, so they are willing to squeeze out funds for vanity projects.

The Stanz Orphanage was short of funds and no donations came from the Xiongbao Association, so rather than doing vanity projects, Director Pei preferred to use the money to buy food and supplies for the children.

After the tour, Lu Yuan and Brown followed Dean Pei Si back to the office to continue their chat. Of course, the main conversation was between Lu Yuan and Dean Pei Si, while Brown was just there to keep things lively.

Lu Yuan was sitting near the window when he saw three teenagers enter the orphanage.

As soon as they entered, the children from the orphanage immediately surrounded them, showing that the two sides had a very harmonious relationship.

"Dean Pei Si, who are those three people?" Lu Yuan asked, pointing out the window.

Dean Pei Si walked over, glanced at it, and then said with a kind smile.

"They were originally children of the orphanage, but they moved out of the orphanage after they grew up and found jobs. However, they still come back to visit from time to time."

"Dean Pei, why do they all look a bit unwell?"

From a distance, the three young insects all appeared somewhat hunched over, with pale faces. Although they were laughing and joking with the children, their smiles revealed obvious exhaustion.

Upon hearing this, Dean Pei sighed.

"They all work as miners in nearby mines, working more than twelve hours a day, which is why they are so tired."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

"Twelve hours? They're barely adults, can their bodies handle that?"

"There's no other way. Children from orphanages have neither social class nor education, so the only jobs they can find are miners and repairmen, which other insects don't want to do."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything. Having dealt with the orphanage for a long time, he knew a bit about the situation.

The children in the orphanage are mainly C and D grade, with relatively few B grade children.

In orphanages on the capital planet, there are relatively more Class B orphans, but on remote planets, most are Class C or D.

In the hierarchical Zerg society, C-rank and D-rank are synonymous with the lowest rung of society.

The Zerg Empire's education system is similar to that before Lu Yuan's transmigration, divided into primary school, junior high school, senior high school, and university. The empire provides free compulsory education up to senior high school, but university requires paying high tuition fees.

Therefore, the children in the orphanage basically only go to high school, and even if they are admitted to university, they don't have the money to go.

Low social class and low education level mean that children from orphanages are destined to have few good jobs, and even if they want to join the army as cannon fodder, the army may not necessarily accept them.
