8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying a second content in response to receiving a selection instruction for the first content comprises:

displaying a first page in response to receiving the selection instruction for the first content, the first page displaying at least one of time information and number of times information, wherein the time information indicating time that can be applied towards a remaining number of times to accelerate the acquisition of first resources and is determined based on a current time and the end time of the first time period, and the number of times information comprises a target number of times to accelerate the acquisition of first resources that can be applied in the first time period and the remaining number of times to accelerate the acquisition of first resources in the time that can be applied; and

displaying the second content in response to receiving a selection instruction for the first page.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first page further displays the game level of the user, the game level being determined based on a quantity of the first resources acquired by the user.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
