Collateral branch?
Outsiders?
They were outsiders, unworthy of using it.
Generation after generation, accumulating for twenty thousand years...
Wouldn't that pile up?
But what about Shrek Academy?
It was open to all students.
Anyone who came had to use resources, and using them meant spending them.
With money coming and going like that, how could they save anything?
Besides, under normal circumstances...
Even if they were unwilling, once they gave it, they gave it.
After all, as their ten-thousand-year ally—
The Tang Sect.
It was extremely good at making money.
For instance, Xuanshi Tang Sect Technology Co., Ltd. and the like were all businesses that raked in money by the day.
The Tang Sect's branches were spread throughout the Federation.
Soul Tool business, all kinds of investments.
Their annual profits were astronomical.
And every year, the Tang Sect would take out a huge sum of money and send it to Shrek in the name of "sponsorship."
Although Shrek Academy had once had merchant caravans.
It even had shops like the Treasure Appraisal Fair, which gathered many precious treasures from across the continent.
But as times changed...
Those things had long since been buried in the river of history.
Otherwise, in the original work, Tang Wulin, as Zhuo Shi's disciple's grandson, would also have been qualified to visit the Treasure Appraisal Fair.
And the reason he had not gone...
Was because it had long since ceased to exist.
Those once-glorious industries, those businesses that had once raked in money every day.
Had either been squandered away by unworthy descendants, eliminated by the times, or encroached upon by other factions.
Shrek now...
Aside from this city, this tree, and this building.
What else did it have?
So Shrek Academy now relied entirely on the Federation and the Tang Sect to keep it
