The day after the audition, the children went to school.

Naturally, the tuition fee has to be paid, two semesters a year, one gold coin per semester.

According to Roland's curriculum, they had to study for at least five years before they could barely be considered 'masters', becoming magical apprentices with some use, or full-fledged mages.

Naturally, the children of poor families could not afford to pay the money, but Roland made them sign a rather lenient written contract. They can be exempted from some or all of the tuition fees by helping the Magic Tower with their own labor, depending on how much work you do.

And the term of the money is relaxed to the point of thirty years, and no interest is charged.

In other words, if the apprentice is willing to stay in the magic tower for a few more years after leaving the school, help with some work, and pay off the tuition fee soon, after all, it is quite easy for a magician to make money, which is almost equivalent to free teaching and training.

All the civilian apprentices were signed, and although they were still young, they knew very well that this was their only chance to break away from their current class and climb up, even if the conditions were more than ten times harsh, they would sign it.

There are also some businessmen whose family conditions are not so good, as well as the children of down-and-out nobles, who also signed.

On the first day of teaching, there were some minor troubles, and most of the children of the nobles were literate, while none of the commoners were literate.

How can a magician not be literate!

Therefore, the last two classes were adjusted, and for the time being, those who could read were divided into one class, and those who were illiterate were divided into another class.

In essence, it is a class division.

Roland waited for a year, waited for the civilians to read all the words, and then mixed the group.

Because there is already a clear distinction between the nobles and the commoners, there is a huge class gap, if they are taught separately, then the two sides will definitely form two groups that do not interact with each other in the future, and may even hate each other.

So when the civilian population is literate, the two classes have to be mixed again.

It is also necessary to carry out ideological and moral guidance.

After dividing the class, Roland and Vincent left it alone for the time being.

After all, it's just about teaching them literacy, and teaching them basic magical knowledge, such as how to perceive elements and so on.

This knowledge can be taught by Vivian and others, and it is not the turn of Roland and Vincent to make a move.

At this time, the two were sitting in the laboratory, drinking fruit wine and chatting.

"I have a question." Vincent took a sip of fruit wine and asked, "Will we accept players in the future?" ”

"Of course."

Vincent frowned and said, "But the player is too jumpy, too noisy. We are players ourselves, and we are well aware of the virtues of our own people. I'm afraid the two of us can't hold it down. ”

"You have a point." Roland thought for a moment and said, "Then only players who have passed our approval will be allowed in." If the number is not large, there should be no problem. ”

Vincent stood up with his wine glass, he walked to the window, looked at the school building not far away, and smiled, "Do you think we can see these children grow up?" ”

"It's like we're going to hang up soon." Roland thought it was a little funny.

"No, I'm worried about the server going down." Vincent sighed and said, "It's been more than a year since the game was launched. Say it's a test, is there a test for so long? The game cabin has not been built for more than a year, and the recharge system has not been opened, and many local tyrants can't do it if they want to kryptonite. What's even more outrageous is that the virtual cabin on the market has now been speculated to five million, a hundred times more than the original. The official still hasn't released one more virtual cabin, and it still has no price. ”

Roland was also silent.

He knew Vincent was telling the truth.

Capital is born to make money, but until now, except for the initial 500,000 virtual cabins that were sold for some money, until now, I have never seen the official game earn even a penny.

Even if it's a free-to-play game, even if you don't sell kryptonite items, you should at least open a few advertising slots.

However, this is not either.

500,000 virtual cabins sold for 25 billion, but for such an unprecedented large-scale technology project, how much money will be burned, as long as people with a little common sense know.

How long does 25 billion burn?

The maintenance of servers, the erection and repair of communication equipment, and even the salaries of maintenance personnel should not be a small amount.

Roland estimates that 25 billion should be burned almost now.

When it burns for another year and a half, it will be the end.

Roland thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, when they are short of money, they will find a way to make money." ”

"I don't think it's likely." Vincent shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, the capital company is to make a profit, and now this game, this virtual cabin is perfect, why don't they make money?" Why? One less day to open the krypton system, they will make one less day of money, which is completely inconsistent with the character of the capitalists. ”

"So what do you think is the reason why the game company can't open the krypton gold system?" Roland asked: "You are the rich second generation, did you hear any inside news?" ”

Vincent raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised: "Your intuition is quite sharp!" ”

"It seems so."

Vincent nodded.

"Can you say that?"

"I don't dare say it outside, but here, I don't think it's okay." Vincent said: "Now the meaning of the virtual pod, which many people already know, is a second life. Some people with more backgrounds...... You know, their children used to scoff at this thing, and now it's too late to regret it. But they can't rob hard, what society now, public opinion society! One bad thing is that it is a matter of cheating on the father and mother, so they persuaded their parents to unite and put pressure on the game company to change some local policies related to games. It's a very reasonable thing to do, and no one can say anything. ”

Roland frowned.

"Then there are bald eagles, white elephants, stick-footed chickens and other countries outside to jointly put pressure on the game official to hand over the technology, which can be described as internal and external troubles." Vincent said very annoyedly: "But the game official doesn't know why, he just refuses to build another virtual cabin, and he doesn't know why!" ”

Hearing this, Roland also felt that something seemed to be wrong.

He also doesn't understand, the official just needs to do more virtual cabins, why not do it?

Do you have to fight against so many forces? Such a head of iron?

Are you afraid that if there are more than 100,000 people in the game world, more than 200,000 people will collapse?

What exactly are the game officials thinking?

Roland felt that he was completely unable to understand the game's official brain circuitry.

Vincent continued: "Anyway, if it goes on like this, I'm not very optimistic about the future of the game's official. Unless they announce it outward, build more virtual pods out. ”

Roland felt a little sad, he liked the world very much, he liked the game very much.

Now his future is tied to this game.

If the game is gone, his bright future will have to be shattered again.

It's not cool to think about.
