Ten years later, at the Golden Academy:
Hundreds of billions come and go at a hurried pace.
Looking at their task for the day, they couldn't help but feel the urgency.
Throughout the decade at the academy, all the advertised benefits and free resources were real.
As long as they don't fail, they will be given their due resources at their discretion.
Whether to sell or use it, it's up to them.
Unfortunately, the competition is also cruel.
Of the trillions who enrolled every year, after a few months, only less than a hundred billion will remain.
And every year, tens of billions will be cut off again, leaving just a few billion.
Even then, those who manage to last longer for a year or two could advance to tier 2 with free resources.
The few hundred million who survived since the beginning are already tier 4, gearing up to advance to tier 5.
