"We call them the 498th and 499th floors."
Xia Chujian felt a bit of a headache: "...How many floors does the central teaching building have?"
Wei Lanye said with a smile, "It's confidential. The school is not allowed to reveal how many floors the central teaching building has."
Xia Chujian was curious: "What's there to keep secret?"
Wei Lanye said: "Each grade has a 100-story teaching building."
"Starting from the 100th floor and ending at the 499th floor."
"The Star Destroyer major is special. Since there are so few students, the top two floors of the teaching building are used together."
"But above the 499th floor, there are at least 100 floors left, used as office buildings for the school."
"The floors below the hundredth floor are the cafeteria, resource department, and special training grounds."
"For example, the mecha training ground is between the 80th and 89th floors."
Xia Chujian thought, well, people with acrophobia probably can’t apply to this kind of school…
Wei Lanye gave Xia Chujian a brief introduction to the school, and then said, "Now I will take you to the Resources Department to pick up the daily necessities and clothes distributed by the school."
"You have a full scholarship, so your student ID card has automatic top-up. When you want to eat, just use your student ID card to swipe it."
"If you don't have a scholarship, you must remember to top up your student ID so you can use it to buy things on campus, including meals in the cafeteria."
Xia Chujian nodded: "It's all integrated together, which is quite convenient."
She turned around and said to Xia Yuanfang and Wufu, "Auntie, Wufu, you guys just rest here for a while. Counselor Wei and I will go get some daily necessities."
Xia Yuanfang waved his hand: "You go ahead, I'll go see what needs to be added to the kitchen."
Xia Chujian waved to Wufu again before leaving with Wei Lanye.
Wei Lanye and Xia Chujian took the elevator downstairs.
Along the way, he asked curiously, "Xia Chujian, where are your parents? Why did your aunt send you here?"
Xia Chujian said seriously: "I have been without parents since I was a child. My aunt raised me."
Wei Lanye looked at Xia Yuanfang with awe. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked such a question. I just got transferred back from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and haven't had time to look at your student information yet."
Xia Chujian said: "It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for. You didn't mean it..."
"By the way, Counselor Wei, what do you do in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet?"
Wei Lanye said, "To my shame, I've always been doing civilian work in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, mainly as a political attaché."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She had never heard of such a position, but she wisely didn't ask any further. Instead, she changed the subject and jokingly said, "There are only ten people in our Star Destroyer major. If there's a sports meet, won't our major be at a disadvantage?"
Wei Lanye smiled and said, "We don't have sports meets at our military academy. We have an inter-school league, and we play games for a whole month every winter semester."
Xia Chujian was very excited: "Is that so? This is so fun! Where can I see the videos of these previous inter-school leagues?"
Wei Lanye said, "The library has the most comprehensive information on inter-school leagues."
"Also, every three years, we will represent the Beichen Empire in an international league against the strongest military academies of the Southern Cross Principality, the Dongtianyuan Divine Kingdom, and the Simaneli Federation."
At this point, Wei Lanye's voice dropped, and he seemed a little annoyed. "Ever since Huo Shuai graduated, we've been at the bottom of the international league for four consecutive years..."
Xia Chujian: “…”
How could it be so bad?
She was a little skeptical, but seeing Wei Lanye's depressed look, she didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject again, asking, "Then do those who participate in the competition still need to attend classes? Do they need to take exams? Does the competition count as a grade?"
Wei Lanye said, "Since you're participating in the competition, of course you don't need to attend classes. The competition will count, and the contestant's exam score will be determined based on their ranking."
"Despite this, everyone is trying their best to participate in the competition."
Xia Chujian nodded in understanding and asked, "What are the rewards for these competitions?"
Wei Lanye glanced at her and said, "You seem to be very obsessed with rewards..."
Xia Chujian said seriously, "Even if you're a poor student, you can dream of becoming a top student one day. Can't we just dream?"
Wei Lanye couldn't help but laugh: "If Xia Chujian is a poor student, I don't even know how to write the word 'a top student'."
Xia Chujian refused to allow Wei Lanye to change the subject and mechanically pressed on, "Really? What about the reward?"
Wei Lanye said: "The rewards for inter-school competitions are school points, which can be used to offset tuition fees."
"Of course, in cases like Xia Chujian, where tuition fees don't need to be paid, it can be converted into material rewards."
Xia Chujian nodded: "How much is it equivalent to?"
Wei Lanye: "...the top three in the inter-school league will receive 50,000 Beichen coins."
"Ranked fourth to tenth, there are only 5,000 Beichen coins."
"After the tenth place, there will be no more rewards."
"In an international league, if you take the top two spots, it's considered a military achievement."
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up: "Getting the top two in an international competition counts as military merit?! What if it's first place?!"
In fact, there are only four countries and four schools participating in the competition. In Xia Chujian's opinion, it is not difficult to get the top two.
Wei Lanye said, "First... That would probably allow you to be promoted from lieutenant to captain."
Xia Chujian thought, this is a profit...
