"That's pretty normal." Ning Yuchen said, "The people of Silver Plume are often in danger because of the beasts in the forests, That's why the population is not growing. What's more, Northern Wilderness soldiers are not allowed to marry Silver Plume people. After your ten years of service ends, you are required to return to your homeland, unless you're chosen by the shrine. That is why the population has been stagnant. This is actually true for most of the planets in Northern Wilderness Starfield—a small populace congregated in a large capital city!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and then asked, "Do they also speak Mandarin here?"
"Yeah. In fact, Chinese is the universal language!" Ning Yuchen said proudly. "And the Chinese influence doesn't stop there! In higher ranked starfields, you will find even more oriental elements like traditional chinese medicine, immortality pills, martial arts, etcetera!"
"Er… Why is that?"
Chen Xiaobei found this rather puzzling.
