Chapter 333 Rich Support
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.
It can be said that the education philosophy of the Golden Academy is on the right path.
However, various institutions and merchants couldn't help but sneer at the Golden Academy.
So what if it's a success?
If you can't earn money, it's a failure.
According to their source, hundreds of trillions or even over a quadrillion of crystal were already spent in vain.
Seeing no sight of return, such an investment was obviously a failure.
Even the one who set it up with Tesoro looks nervous.
"Tesoro, what do we do now? It's been ten years, and we're still in deficit!" Zexel said solemnly.
Up to this point, they were no longer talking about money but nervous about their friend.
It seemed that he was duped by the innate treasure, leaving him with nothing.
According to their pace, the money they borrowed can only last for a few decades.
With more and more students coming in, they would be bankrupt sooner or later.
"It can't be, we just need to wait..." Tesoro said forcefully.
Although the Golden Coin could show him the path of wealth, it will only give direction, not the exact destination.
According to it, the education sector is a gold mine full of unlimited wealth.
However, throughout the years, after he did all he could, they were still in deficiency.
Tasks like hunting, potion making, alchemy making, research production, various programs, etc., didn't make much money.
Advocating free resources as their selling point, their expenses couldn't be made up just with these few tricks.
Sometimes, he even wondered how the Moonlight Academy managed to pull off this thing.
Getting billions of students every year, the Moonlight Academy still managed to give its students free top-tier resources.
Meanwhile, his academy only gave a few common cheap resources, yet it can't even get by.
However, thinking that the empire is fully responsible for the academy, he understood.
If the Empire could support tens of quadrillions of people with free subsidies, how could a mere academy bring it down?
Suddenly, it dawned on him.
"I see!" Tesoro muttered in excitement.
The education sector isn't the path of wealth because of its students.
It's because of the Empire, the Emperor who had been advocating free education since the beginning.
Since he could support the whole empire, what is a mere academy in comparison?
Cultivating his people, the Emperor should be the one to bring him wealth.
[Dear Citizens of the Moonlight Empire,
On behalf of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Moonlight Empire.
It is with great pleasure that we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Golden Academy for its pioneering endeavors.
As the first private academy dedicated to nurturing the talents and skills of our Empire's citizens, the Emperor extends his deepest gratitude to you.
Your dedication to the advancement of our people is commendable and serves as a beacon of inspiration to all.
In recognition of the vital role institutions like yours play in strengthening our society.
His Majesty has enacted a new law to support your efforts further.
Firstly, citizens who ascend from mortal status to Tier 1 will receive an additional incentive of 1,000 crystal credits to encourage their progress.
Those reaching Tier 2 will be granted 10,000 crystal credits, while those achieving Tier 3 will receive 100,000 crystal credits.
Similarly, those ascending to Tier 4 will be rewarded with 1 million crystal credits, and so on.
Secondly, any institution contributing to the advancement of our citizens will share in the encouragement bonus.
The distribution will range from a minimum of 30/70 to a maximum of 50/50, based on the institution's level of support and involvement.
Thirdly, individuals or groups interested in establishing such institutions will be eligible for loans up to 100 quadrillion crystals, following a thorough assessment process.
Fourthly, the Empire will regularly evaluate these institutions and take necessary action, including closing them, for those failing to meet established standards.
Fifthly...
Sixthly...
Seventhly...
Furthermore...
Moreover...
Lastly...
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the prosperity and advancement of the Moonlight Empire.
Sincerely,
Your Chief Minister Doran.]
"We're rich!" Tesoro smiled widely.
In addition to the above message, Tesoro was also given a private message concerning his academy.
That is, all the students who left the school and those who were still in it, from mere mortals up to the point of their stay in school.
Tesoro would receive the encouragement bonus that the law had just promulgated without a cut.
"Hahaha, Tesoro, we're damn rich, alright!"
"Hurry, count the money for me to see."
"One, two, three, four..."
"Sixteen zeros!"
"We've earned over ten quadrillion crystal credits!"
"Is that amount even real?!"
Although they borrowed a larger amount, it was a loan that they needed to pay.
Now, looking at the cold cash in their bank account, the euphoria they felt was overwhelming.
"With the new law, we must expand the school and fast."
"Tsk, those hungry wolves may be manic right now."
"Seeing the money pass by their eyes, how can they not be?"
"The empire may also be boiling; after advancing to a tier, they would be richer than ever."
"Hahaha, it's time for the carnival."
