When Guan Tong heard Xu Xiaotian say that, he asked curiously, "Aren't the academy's students key protection targets for the authorities?"
"They couldn't protect that many people. The authorities sent some people with special abilities and items to help too, but there simply weren't enough to go around. In the end, they drew lots. I got lucky and drew the right to use an item, which was how I made it through."

Guan Tong thought that developing something on demand really wasn't practical. Not to mention Xu Xiaotian's Instant Noodles item, even his own [Wordless Book] wasn't that convenient.
"The entire academy is on edge now. I even heard some people say that our first cohort might graduate by this August."
"So soon?"
Guan Tong remembered that the academy had started classes on August 10 last year. Graduating this August meant a full year.
"The academy's program is only one year... But time is indeed precious now."
Before the Apocalypse Rules Era, programs that allowed graduation after one year were probably limited to certain one-year master's degrees.
But in the Apocalypse Rules Era, one year meant possibly going through ten rounds of rules. The value of time had increased enormously.
From last April to this April, ten rules had already passed. If this pace continued, the remaining thirty-nine rules should end within four years.
But that was only if
