Money wasn't everything.
For ordinary people, money was just currency, used to buy the things needed for everyday life. But for rich people, money was a resource—a resource that was damn near all-powerful.
Le Yu had once played a military-strategy mobile game where each server was a map, every map had lots of cities, and players had to stockpile resources, build facilities, recruit soldiers, and snag those elusive SSR talents. Building, recruiting, training—these all took time, and players either waited it out, or paid money to rush that progress in a snap.
This pay-to-win grind wasn't possible in real life—or at least, not completely.
But… maybe not impossible either.
