Chapter 2: Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy, Outstanding Graduate
At dawn, she followed her personal wristband navigation to the Interstellar Affairs Office.
Greeting her was an elderly female Beastmen, a staff member of the Interstellar Affairs Office.
"Hello, I am the Kindergarten Director dispatched by the Empire to Aisite Star. This is my letter of appointment."
When out and about, one's identity is self-proclaimed.
As for banishment or anything of the sort, if she didn't mention it, who on Aisite Star would know?
Being assigned to a remote planet was something best kept to herself.
"You are a graduate of Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy?!" The female Beastmen who greeted her was utterly astonished upon seeing the appointment letter.
The threshold for Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy was so high that no one on Aisite Star, not even the Planet Master, could meet it.
Jiang Yuxi smiled, "Yes, I am an outstanding graduate from Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy this year."
"An out-outstanding graduate? Please wait a moment, I will introduce you to the Planet Master." The female Beastmen was even more shocked and dared not be negligent.
Even Beastmen on a remote planet like Aisite Star had heard of the outstanding graduates from Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy.
According to the Planet Master, Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy only had one outstanding graduate per major each year, and they would rather have none than accept an unqualified one. Those who earned the title were all pillars of the Empire, also known as "Noble Reserves."
Jiang Yuxi was precisely the one and only outstanding graduate of the Purification Master major this year.
A Class A mental power Purification Master who had topped the professional rankings for seven consecutive years, such a brilliant resume should have allowed the original owner to steadily advance to a lower-tier noble after graduation.
However, after graduation and during the application for noble promotion, she offended a Class A mental power female Beastmen from a prominent family, was harmed, and her mental power dropped to Class E.
Although she still received the title of a lower-tier noble based on her past resume, due to the decline in her mental power level, this noble title was merely an empty name, and she received none of the corresponding rights and benefits of a noble.
She was also manipulated by that Class A female Beastmen and exiled to the remote Aisite Star to serve as the Kindergarten Director of that planet.
The original owner, unable to accept such a cruel reality, committed suicide with hatred on the transport spaceship.
The one who opened her eyes again was Jiang Yuxi, with memories from two lives.
Facing an outstanding graduate from Di Xing First Comprehensive Academy, a Kindergarten Director sent by the Empire, the Planet Master arrived very quickly.
"Hello, thank you very much for choosing our Aisite Star." The Planet Master was a Class B female Beastmen, also a lower-tier noble.
"We have a total of 237 registered cubs on our planet, of which only 12 meet the Kindergarten's enrollment standards..."
Aisite Star had been without a Kindergarten for a full five hundred years.
It wasn't that they didn't want one, but rather that no female Beastmen with the appropriate qualifications were willing to come to this planet.
Without a Director, the Kindergarten could not be rebuilt.
The cubs of Aisite Star grew up wild.
Genetic fusion also extended the lifespan of Beastmen; ordinary Beastmen lived for 300 years, while powerful Beastmen lived even longer.
Interstellar Child Law stipulates that Beastmen under the age of twelve are considered cubs.
Beastmen only have four growth stages: infancy, youth, prime, and old age. After reaching adulthood, they enter the prime stage, which is particularly long, occupying two-thirds of their entire Beastmen life.
Very few male Beastmen live to enter old age.
The reason for this is mental power riots.
Some mental power experts in the Interstellar Beast World believe that the growth experiences of Beastmen during infancy are highly likely to affect the value of mental power riots in adulthood.
Therefore, Interstellar Child Law stipulates that Beastmen cubs must receive early childhood education as much as possible before their human and beast forms can stably transform.
The stability of Beastmen cubs' form transformation depends on their racial nature, averaging before the age of 10.
"Jiang Yuxi, in the next hundred years, the Empire will allocate funds based on your Kindergarten's operational performance. Kindergarten levels range from S to F. A rebuilt Kindergarten starts at F-class. The Di Xing's first evaluation of you will be in six months. Please take it seriously."
A month ago, Aisite Star received its 21st Kindergarten Director appointment letter from the Di Xing in five hundred years, and was prepared for its 21st disappointment.
But unexpectedly, a female Beastmen was actually willing to come.
"The following are the resource subsidies prepared by the Empire for you:
First, a one-time star coin subsidy of 5 million;
Second, one Class B cub simulated training ground;
Third, a one-year cub resource subsidy, specifically 100 tubes of Class D and 10 tubes of Class C cub growth fluid per month; 10 tubes of Class D and 10 tubes of Class C cub gene tempering fluid;
If the Kindergarten's rating is promoted after six months, corresponding subsidies and rewards will be officially issued according to relevant imperial regulations.
Additionally, on behalf of Aisite Star, I grant the Kindergarten a 1 million star coin economic subsidy, as well as a hundred years of tax exemption during your tenure.
Do you have any other needs? We will do our best to help you solve your problems."
1 million star coin was already the limit the Planet Master could provide. It was nearly 3 years of the entire planet's fiscal revenue.
It was hard enough for a Director to finally come to the planet, and one who also brought imperial resource support, so they absolutely couldn't scare her away.
Whether Aisite Star could advance to a Class C planet depended on this one chance. Missing this opportunity might mean waiting another five hundred years.
Listening to the Planet Master, Jiang Yuxi understood that this was the result of the original owner's teacher's best efforts, otherwise the Empire wouldn't have provided so many resource subsidies.
It was just a pity that the original owner still couldn't accept it.
From the original owner's memory, among these subsidies, star coin was actually the least valuable item.
"Thank you very much for your support in my work. I am indeed in urgent need of help.
Before coming to Aisite Star, I specifically learned that Aisite Star is rich in timber resources and is a major export for construction. I hope you can convert a portion of the Kindergarten's subsidy in star coin into timber and labor at market price. I want to demolish the old Kindergarten and rebuild it with timber, adding some facilities."
Since there were so many star coin subsidies, it would be better to just demolish and rebuild the Kindergarten!
She would build it like the wooden houses in her Cultivation World.
"Demolish and rebuild? With wood, wood?" The Planet Master was incredulous.
Aisite Star was indeed extremely rich in timber resources, and timber was also an important source of income. However, using timber to build houses was a symbol of backwardness and being rustic in the Interstellar.
"Yes. I believe that since timber export is Aisite Star's main economic income, wouldn't building the Aisite Star's Kindergarten with timber better reflect our planet's image?" Jiang Yuxi's tone was gentle and firm, "This is the Kindergarten building design I drew. Please give me some suggestions."
The Planet Master was dumbfounded when she saw the projection from Jiang Yuxi's personal terminal.
"This, are you sure?"
"Of course."
The Kindergarten construction blueprint on Jiang Yuxi's personal terminal was based on houses from the Cultivation World, combined with the Interstellar people's aesthetic and practical considerations, and created a scaled-down physical model using the Interstellar network.
"You see, entering from the main gate, the first thing you see is the cub activity square. To the left and right are various playground facilities and an outdoor planting education area. Passing through the square, directly ahead is the cub cultural class teaching building. To the left of the teaching building is..."
