Zong Ruoning refused to give up and insisted, "You're still a student. You need more time to enrich yourself..."
Xia Chujian said, "I am enriching myself! If you've looked at my records, you should know that I already have enough credits and grades to graduate."
"But I haven't applied for graduation yet. I still want to continue taking the school's special training."
"That way, when I go to the battlefield in the future, I'll be fully prepared."
Zong Ruoning said, "You really want to go to the battlefield?"
Xia Chujian nodded. "Of course! Why attend a military academy if you don't want to go to war?"
Zong Ruoning thought, Attending a military academy didn't necessarily mean going to the battlefield...
But he could not keep pouring cold water on this girl's passionate determination.
After considering it for a while, Zong Ruoning said, "Our Zong family's Ancestral Land is on Shaofu Star. It is now at the forefront of the Beichen Empire's standoff against the Zerg Army."
"If you want to go to the battlefield, it would be best to avoid Shaofu Star."
Xia Chujian was greatly surprised. Raising an eyebrow, she said, "Commissioner Zong, that's your family's Ancestral Land!"
"Are you planning to abandon Shaofu Star?"
Zong Ruoning sighed. "Do you think I want to?"
"But judging by the current situation, we need to trade planets for time."
"We need to buy our Scientists time for research, so they can find a way to defeat the Zerg."
"If they can't make a breakthrough, then no matter how many planets or people we have, we'll only be serving ourselves up to them."
Xia Chujian frowned. "...Is that what you think, or is that what the entire upper echelon of the Empire thinks?"
Zong Ruoning said, "Is there a difference?"
