D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Time flies like water, and more than four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the four months that followed, Rhine only returned to Golan Star twice.

Every time Rhine comes back, they take the time to be lovey-dovey with Lu Yuan.

Of course, the two insects weren't just doing nothing when they were together. Rhine accompanied Lu Yuan to see the skills training class that he had established.

Given Rhine's personality, he wouldn't normally be interested in this skills training program for raising children from an orphanage.

However, Lu Yuan's eyes would light up every time he mentioned this training course, and his words were full of pride. This made Rhein inexplicably interested in the training course and want to see what it was all about.

Rhine had thought his interest was mainly to have more in common with Lu Yuan, but he didn't expect that after actually going to see it, he would find some interesting things.

Rhine discovered that among the children in these orphanages, there were actually a few with quite good potential.

For example, there are three children named Ace, Aman, and Iser. Not only are they B-rank, but they also have good physical qualities and reaction abilities, and they have great potential for development.

The Rhine's 10th Army was currently in a state of "the more insects, the better," and with the idea of ​​"taking a chance even if there's no hope," he suggested to Lu Yuan.

"My lord, why don't I send a few female soldiers from the 10th Army Group who are about to retire to teach the children?"

Rhein's subtext was to have these retired female soldiers carefully assess the potential of these children, and if they were promising, to train them well and then recruit them to the 10th Army.

Lu Yuan had no objection to the idea of ​​female soldiers teaching the children.

In the Zerg Empire, becoming a female soldier is the dream of many female Zerg.

Although female soldiers have to go to the battlefield, being a female soldier is a high-paying and respectable job, and many female insects want to be one but can't.

Lu Yuan also knew that having female soldiers attending classes did not mean that the children would become female soldiers in the future, but having the opportunity to learn in advance would at least give the children a better chance in the future.

However, Lu Yuan's focus regarding Rhine's words was not on the female soldier attending class, but rather on something else entirely.

"Rhein, how come the 10th Army has female soldiers who are about to retire?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Lu Yuan clearly remembered that Rhein had mentioned to him before that the female soldiers in the 10th Army were all young and in their prime, and that the situation on the front lines was still somewhat tense. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any female soldiers retiring at this time.

Rhine explained to Lu Yuan that the reason these female soldiers had to retire was because they had suffered irreparable injuries and become disabled in the previous battle against the Araqi insectoids.

Although female insects have strong self-healing abilities, injuries such as severed limbs cannot heal on their own.

According to the Empire's regulations, female insects with disabilities cannot continue to serve as military females; they can only retire from the army after receiving a subsidy from the Empire.

Rhine arranged for several retired female soldiers to teach children, which was a good thing for them.

Because female veterans with disabilities generally find it difficult to find new jobs, their lives are not very good.

After listening to Rhine's words, Lu Yuan pondered for a while and then asked.

"Rhine, are there many female soldiers in the 10th Army who have to retire due to disabilities?"

Rhein recalled for a moment and said.

"Not many, maybe only one or two hundred insects."

Many female soldiers have strong self-esteem and cannot accept living with a disability. Therefore, after confirming their disability, many female soldiers either choose to perish together with the enemy insects on the battlefield or choose to commit suicide after the war.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then said.

"Rhine, since our mining company will definitely need a lot of insects in the future, why don't you ask those female soldiers who are about to retire? If they are willing, we can arrange for them to work in our mining company."

"Why?" Rhine asked, frowning.

What Rhein really wanted to ask was why these retired female soldiers, who were mostly useless, were still being assigned to work in mining companies.

However, saying this directly would make Rhine appear somewhat cold in front of Lu Yuan, so Rhine changed the way she asked the question.

Lu Yuan's idea was not entirely due to a surge of sympathy.

Of course, Lu Yuan did sympathize with the female soldiers who were disabled for the sake of the empire and hoped to help them within his power.

However, the more important reason was that Lu Yuan knew that Rhein had been trying to win over the hearts of the soldiers of the Tenth Army.

Lu Yuan thought that properly settling female soldiers who were forced to retire due to disability would also be a good way to win over active-duty female soldiers.

Lu Yuan's perspective was something Rhein had never considered.

Rhine has always believed in the principle of equivalent exchange in its dealings with others.

He will certainly treat his subordinates well, but only if they are valuable.

For Rhine, those female soldiers who retired due to disability were nothing more than a bunch of worthless insects.

Rhein wouldn't deprive these retired female soldiers of what they deserved, but he wouldn't do much more either, because they weren't worth his time or effort.

However, after thinking about Lu Yuan's suggestion again, Rhein had to admit that it was very feasible.

In fact, Lu Yuan's idea has a fundamental flaw.

Finding suitable female veterans to settle down is certainly not a problem, but this shouldn't be something that Lu Yuan or Rhein should be considering.

In theory, the Tenth Army still belongs to the Empire, and the resettlement of retired female soldiers should naturally be left to the Empire to consider.

However, under Rhine's subtle influence, Lu Yuan subconsciously regarded the Tenth Army as his own.

In Lu Yuan's mind, the soldiers of the 10th Army Group were just like the employees in his family's company.

If an employee becomes disabled because of the company, and their subsequent life becomes a problem, then the company has no choice but to take full responsibility.

Rhein was certainly aware that Lu Yuan's perspective on the 10th Army was incorrect, but he had no intention of correcting him; he was already prepared to make the 10th Army his own.

However, Rhine did not immediately agree to Lu Yuan's idea, saying that he would think about it some more.

Since this method is feasible, Rhein is prepared to consider it more carefully and devise a way to maximize profits, rather than simply stuffing the insects into the mining company.
