Protecting the Upper Class is protecting oneself.
Only by changing the Oasis leadership's stereotype about the Upper District can Rong Yan's future plans proceed smoothly.
As someone from the Upper Class herself, she knows this very well:
"Although some of the Upper Class squander their lives away in the Upper District, this behavior doesn't represent all of the Upper Class."
"For instance, I have worked hard for forty to fifty years to finally gain the chance to escape my fate as a sacrificial offerer."
"This effort and the cost I've paid are far more exorbitant and profound than other Evolvers in the Oasis."
"The Oasis Church, to prevent the evolution of the Upper Class, employed the strictest measures, and I had to compete with over a thousand peers for that one and only chance for advancement."
"The brutal elimination rate is tens of times higher than Evolvers from other villages in Oasis Town."
