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

The idea of ​​sponsoring children's education had actually been in Lu Yuan's mind for a long time.

That was when Lu Yuan went on a business trip to Kami Star and heard Dean Pei Si say that the children in the orphanage had no education because they couldn't afford to go to school, so they could only do jobs that other insects were unwilling to do.

But Lu Yuan quickly dismissed the idea himself, without even mentioning it to Rhine.

Because Lu Yuan was very clear that this was a bottomless pit. Even if he and Rhine were rich, or rather, even if Rhine were rich, they couldn't spend it like this.

To reiterate, Lu Yuan will help the insects around him to the best of his ability, but only if it doesn't affect his and Rhine's little family.

Sponsoring children in orphanages to go to school can easily place a heavy burden on their families if not handled properly, so Lu Yuan would not do that.

Lu Yuan hadn't thought about it again after that, but the reason this idea came up again was because his family's financial situation was really good, and their mining company was making a lot of money.

Three months after the price of silver crystals skyrocketed, Lu Yuan stared at the numbers on the company's financial statements for three minutes straight.

Later, when he was the only one left in the office, he couldn't help but count the digits one by one with his fingers, repeating the count five times.

Honestly, if he weren't the boss himself and knew that his business was legitimate, just looking at the profits, he would have thought the company was involved in some kind of illegal or unethical business.

With their current financial resources, sponsoring some children's schooling will not have any impact at all.

Of course, Lu Yuan wasn't a spendthrift who would squander his money on other insects.

Lu Yuan thought this way because Rhein had complained to him during a chat that the 10th Army had suffered many casualties and was always short of manpower due to its constant battles with the Araqi insectoids.

Lu Yuan thought that if he could send some insects to the 10th Army Group, it would help Rhine in some way.

Moreover, Lu Yuan had also talked with that retired female military teacher and knew that not many children from orphanages would have the talent of a female military officer. So, if it was just about sponsoring talented children to attend military academies, his family could afford it.

However, Lu Yuan certainly can't decide this on his own; he needs to discuss it with Rhine first.

So, during a video chat with Rhine that evening, Lu Yuan shared his thoughts with Rhine.

After listening, Rhein fell silent.

In fact, Rheinland initially arranged for retired female soldiers to become teachers at the skills training class in Luyuan, hoping to recruit promising young people to the 10th Army.

But after he became an S-class female insect, and the Rothschild family was poised to rise to prominence in the next few years, Rhine changed his mind.

He still wanted to select those with potential from among these children, but this time he wouldn't send them to the Tenth Army; instead, he wanted to train them to become Rothschild family assassins.

Every noble family in the empire secretly maintains its own armed forces, which have different names, such as secret guards or death squads, but in essence, they are all used in the same way: to do dirty work for the family.

Previously, because the Rothschild family had just been established and there were only two insects, him and Lu Yuan, there were no family affairs that needed to be handled privately by insects.

In addition, Rhine himself had a lot of other things to deal with and didn't have time to think about the assassins, so the matter was put on hold.

But after Rhine suddenly became an S-class female insect, some things that used to take a long time and a lot of effort to handle became very simple, and now he was able to free up his hands to arrange some family affairs.

Rhine's first priority was to establish the family's elite assassin team, because the selection and training of family assassins takes a lot of time, so it needs to be arranged in advance.

As for the selection of assassins, Rhine immediately thought of the children in that skills training class.

Those children all came from orphanages, had no family ties, and thanks to donations from the foundation, they were fed fairly well in the orphanage, and were all well-fed and healthy.

If they also have some talent, they would be excellent candidates for assassins.

But now, judging from Lu Yuan's words, he wants those talented children to be able to legitimately attend military academies and join the 10th Army Group.

Rhine was still weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and seeing that Rhine hadn't spoken, Lu Yuan asked in confusion.

"Rhine, what's wrong? Why have you been thinking about this for so long? I only had this idea, and if it's not easy to implement, then forget about it."

Although Lu Yuan felt that his family could afford it with their current financial resources, he would let it go if Rhine was unwilling. Despite wanting to help the children, Rhine's wishes were more important to Lu Yuan.

"There's nothing difficult about it. I was just thinking about something else, but I think your idea is good. I support sponsoring some talented children to go to military academies and join the 10th Army," Rhine said.

After thinking it over, Rhein decided to support Lu Yuan's idea.

Given Lu Yuan's concern for those children, even if he disagrees with the financial aid, he would probably find other ways to help them indirectly, and he might even increase his attention to them as a result.

If Lu Yuan finds out that he recruited these kids to be suicide squads, based on his understanding of Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan probably won't be happy.

Forget it, he can recruit assassins from elsewhere. There's no need to make things unpleasant with Lu Yuan over such a small matter.

As for the small amount of money needed for the grant, Rhine didn't even consider it a concern.

However, Rhein then had another good idea.

"My lord, why not establish an educational fund to support all the children within the Arach defense line who are capable of passing the military academy entrance exam but cannot afford the tuition? Your appointment letter as duke will be issued soon, so let this be your first initiative after taking office."

Rhine wanted to help Lu Yuan bribe Chong Xin.

Once the Duke's letter of appointment arrives, Lu Yuan will immediately take up his post.

If Lu Yuan can gain the support of the people inside the Alaqi defense line, it will greatly help him secure his position.

Don't think that the Duke doesn't need to hold his position. If the people in the territory don't support him and always rebel and cause trouble, it will be a real headache for the insects.
