Ordinary people were, of course, different.
For ordinary people, reaching a hundred years old was already exceedingly rare.

After forty, they could retire.
Those who remained in the Starry Sky Marines at fifty generally came from families in severe financial hardship and needed to use the remainder of their lives to earn a pension that could support their family...

Yet there were now ten injured Starry Sky Marines over the age of fifty in her unit!
That was one percent! Why was it so much higher than the company average?
Xia Chujian could not help but entertain a conspiracy theory.

So while the proportion across the entire column was one in a thousand, in her unit it was ten percent!
That was ten times higher than even her previous estimate of
