Chapter 185 "84"

"I... just wanted to say, who wants to join your alliance navy!"

I really wanted to amuse her, and Ethelyn, who looked at me shaking her hands and was a little embarrassed, immediately denied it. Obviously, the idea of ​​joining the Alliance Navy just now came out without thinking.

"Um……"

As if thinking of something bad again, she leaned back into the pile of airbags squeezed into the corner and changed a comfortable position, then blinked at me with her big bright eyes, obviously I had reason to suspect that I was about to enter a trap .

"What's so good about the Alliance Navy, there are not many decent big ships in tatters, if you want to join our empire's navy!"

Well, well said, but...

"Why don't you come to the empire with me, Lin Man, and let's join the navy of the empire together?"

Good thing I'm not drinking water, or I'd literally spit out.

What are you stuffing in your little head? Why did you come from the navy to the navy?

"You can't think of adding something else, why does it have to be the Navy?"

"If I were you, if I had the conditions, I would rather join one of your super-large groups, such as the recent powerful group would be very good."

"There is a stable job with a stable salary, and the income is quite considerable. I still work in the rooted galaxy. If possible, it is best to live in the headquarters planet. I live in the company and walk to and from get off work every day."

"Then find a wife from the same company and live a peaceful life."

"Eh?"

Ethelyn, who had already shrunk into the airbag pile, suddenly came over, and began to look at me again with curious eyes.

"What?"

The sudden closeness made my forehead feel numb, so I had no choice but to stand up and keep a distance from her.

"So Lin Man, is your dream like this?"

"Is it just to find a big company to work for, and then marry a wife to live in peace of mind?"

"Why, is there any law against me?"

"That's too simple, I..."

What are you doing in such a surprise?
"Uh, I mean, it doesn't seem like something you'd say?"

After seeing my slightly contemptuous eyes, Ethelyn reacted a little bit, sat back in a little embarrassment, and smiled shyly at me.

"I mean, did you think you had any grander aspirations?"

"How should I put it, are you trying to say that I have no ambitions?"

"what!"

"No, no, absolutely not, I just think boys like you all dream of becoming a majestic captain, commanding your own battleship to shuttle through the hail of bullets?"

Could it be that she has watched too many novels and movies?

"Well, maybe everyone has their own ambitions?"

Besides, where have you seen that those warships can shuttle through the hail of bullets, and the ship is already half-dead after only two hits, and the two decks that were directly penetrated were reduced to hell...

Could it be that this guy's dream is actually like this?
"Cough cough..."

I really should take her to see the miserable situation just now, she doesn't even have a human appearance, it can only be described as a wriggling mass of organic matter...

No, I'm going to start feeling nauseous again...

"We almost died just now, and we were talking about being majestic and majestic. I think we have to thank Fu Daming for being able to survive."

"Um……"

Perhaps it was because she remembered the scary movements just now, and Ethelin, who had already been aroused, gradually calmed down.

"Then... Lin Man, can you tell me why you joined the navy?"

Why did I join the Navy?

Although I really want to tell her that I am just an ordinary student now, but I think that I have fooled her around before so forget it.

Ugh.

In what age, there are still people who want to join the navy, don't they still look forward to the age of great voyages and dark voyages?

Another poor victim of street stall literature, huh?
"Ok?"

"You talk, you keep staring at people and don't say a word?"

In other words, she was acting cute just now, right?
"Why should I join the Navy?"

"Can I tell you it's just because of no money?"

Haha, this look almost has disbelief written all over his face.

"Oh, you also know that we, the cheap population born in the colonial galaxy, have faced various survival problems since childhood."

"Joining the navy is at least a good place with a low threshold and stable income. What's more, if you are not careful one day... that's right, you can still pay a lot of money to your family."

Although it seems that this is what Dover told me before, but it is just right to use it to fool this kind of little sister who has never seen the world... She should have seen the world, right?

"Well...then why not consider entering some local enterprises?"

"Basically, most places have sub-branches of super companies or super groups. If it's just for a stable life like you said, just try to join them, right?"

Ah, I withdraw the comment that she has seen the world, this guy has no understanding of the bleak life of the people at the bottom.

That's right, after all, she is the eldest lady of an imperial noble family, not to mention understanding the lower class society, maybe she has little contact with the middle and high class, right?

Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem so absurd that she would ask this question.

"As I said just now, there is also a concept of threshold."

"Do you really think that those interstellar supergroups can be joined by the public if they want to?"

"Take some supergroups of the empire as an example. Not to mention anything else, at least citizens of the empire are eligible. In this way, there are already quite a large population that cannot get such opportunities, right?"

"But a slave is a slave, so..."

Although she doesn't usually reveal it much, when such a sharp topic is mentioned, Ethelyn's discrimination that is rooted in the bone is revealed.

Or just cut her off.

"Secondly, although it is not stated clearly, at least you need to hold a higher education diploma certified by the Imperial Royal Academy in order not to be rejected for the application, that is, to successfully get the admission ticket to participate in the assessment, right?"

"Well, but..."

"Although receiving higher education in the imagination is a very easy and simple thing, but how many imperial families can afford it?"

"Even if you count the support funds allocated by the Imperial Central Library every year, each student has to bear it for a natural year..."

Eh?
How much do you have to bear...?
Speaking of it, I can't remember how much tuition they paid for me at that time. Anyway, just make up a similar number to make her feel the darkness at the bottom?
"It's about 50 Reichsmarks. You have to know that this is almost the income of many families for a whole year."

"A whole year, 50 horses, Mark?"

"How... how is it possible!"

Accompanied by suddenly standing up again, Ethelyn almost lost her voice in exclamation.

Regardless of whether I am right or not, it seems that at least the expected effect has been achieved.

"Even if you don't eat or drink, it's just enough to meet the minimum requirements, and it will take several years, not to mention that many people may not be able to meet this income."

"Well……"

Esseline has changed from rebutting confidently before to humming softly now, maybe her mentality has been shaken?
"This is just a hard requirement at the admission ticket stage."

"Then what happens after you get the admission ticket?"

Keeping silent can maintain the unity of the image after being shocked, which is often the best choice.

Esseline just bent her knees and hugged her, rolled herself into a ball, and looked at me silently, as if she was listening to a story that had nothing to do with her, calm.

"So, tell me, what should you do after paying for the admission ticket?"

"show yourself."

"It's very simple, just tell these super companies why they should choose themselves, right?"

"Just like what I said before Qiangsheng, you said you are just an ordinary graduate, why should they recruit you as an employee?"

"Which one of those with special skills, such as various engineers, or talents with competition awards is not better than you?"

"Enterprises are always enterprises, or in other words... people are always people, and they always pursue the best interests."

"But let me ask, if we just want to successfully complete our studies from higher education institutions, we have to do our best. Where can we get various awards and learn other skills?"

"These...are all burdens that ordinary people cannot bear?"

"Boom!"

Ok?
"Knock! Knock...dang!"

As if understanding what I said, the traumatized, blood-drenched steel behemoth also let out a hoarse whine, accompanied by weird loud noises and tremors, it may be that this cruiser has completed a big leap. shift gears.

Don't say that something is broken again, although it can't be regarded as lingering, but the ship is still seriously injured.

Or look at the terminal message.

"Ah, I don't mean anything else when I tell you this. I just hope that you can understand that the world is often not as beautiful as you imagined."

"A wealthy family like yours sometimes falls into such a bad situation when they are chased and fled to the warships of hostile countries in embarrassment."

"Not to mention the general public, the common people, right?"

Did I say too much to her today, such a rich lady may not have a correct understanding of the darkness of society and how it works... Maybe she was suddenly frightened?
"that……"

Do you want to be gentle and comfort her a little?
"Well... I can understand."

The good news is that I finally choked out a sentence after a long time, but the bad news...

It's pretty pitiful to look at like this, oh, you too, what's the name of a young lady, people don't need to know how garbage is transshipped and recycled... right?
The bad news seems that the condition of the iron coffin is not very good, hey!
