"What?"
"That Azure Sky actually donated ten million gold coins to the church?"
Upon hearing this news...
Xingdeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Every guild has spies.
They will report any valuable information they discover in various parts of the illusionary realm to the guild.
And just recently.
Some players went to the Church of Wealth to investigate whether there were any undiscovered hidden quests.
I noticed that Sky was listed first on the donation list of the Church of Wealth.
[Donation Amount: 10 million gold coins]
Immediately afterwards, this shocking news spread throughout the entire Fantasy World network.
"Holy crap?"
Ten million gold coins? Donated to the church?
"How come I don't get this incredible wealth?"
Xingdeng's expression was even more unpleasant.
The money Lu Cang donated came from their Star Gate Guild, didn't it?
The ten million gold coins that I painstakingly collected.
The enormous expenses required to fully maintain the operation of the entire Stargate guild.
Cang Qiong simply waved his hand and donated it as charity.
The inner rant lasted only a moment.
Starlight understood perfectly well that the heavens would never do this without a reason.
It's possible that Lu Cang discovered a way to trigger some hidden reward.
Donating gold coins to the church may also be to trigger hidden rewards.
"This sky is truly hidden."
"How much hidden information does he actually know?"
So, he prepared to send a message to Lu Cang to inquire about the situation.
【Starlight】: "Chairman of the Azure Sky"
Unexpectedly, after he sent a message...
But the heavens over there sent back a message.
[Azure Sky]: "Oh, President Star Lantern, I was just about to look for you."
"Are you top 30 players in 1v1 still playing ranked matches?"
Damn it?
Lu Cang actually came to him.
Xingdeng knew that Lu Cang was playing ranked matches.
That's why we told the top players in the guild not to play ranked matches right now.
All the major guilds do the same.
The top 100 1V1 rankings were dominated by players from the eight major guilds, who filled the entire list.
They naturally didn't want their guild members' rankings to drop.
However, when asked this question, Starlight did not refuse, but instead her mind raced.
He responded quickly.
"Haha, Brother Cangqiong, what a coincidence! Our guild's expert was just about to go play ranked matches."
"If I can get a spot with the Sky Brothers, I can learn some of their techniques."
As Xingdeng responded, he arranged for the guild's top players to return to the arena.
Xingdeng could have told Cangqiong that all the top players in ranked matches had gone to level up.
But then I thought about it again, and what if I answered like that?
Lu Cang most likely won't tell me the truth.
To extract information, you have to be willing to sacrifice your children.
I had no choice but to reluctantly let the top players in my guild who were always playing ranked matches drop a rank.
At worst, I can try harder to climb the ranks later.
[Azure Sky]: "Oh, alright then, what can I do for you, President Star Lantern?"
【Starlight】: "Haha, President Cangqiong, I just heard that you donated ten million gold coins to the Wealth Church. I wanted to ask you why, after all, ten million gold coins is not a small amount."
"Oh, this... Actually, you can just ask a priest at the Church of Wealth, and he will tell you."
"But it's no big deal for me to tell you this. I heard in Zone 1 that if you donate ten million gold coins to the Church of Wealth, you can get a hidden reward."
"So I donated."
Lu Cang's answer was very simple, and he did not lie at all, except for the source of the information.
Xingdeng was stunned by Lu Cang's answer.
Upon hearing the intelligence, Xingdeng immediately issued an order to send several people to investigate the veracity of the information.
Soon, the scouts sent back intelligence.
"Reporting to the Guild Master, the priest said that an adventurer named Azure Sky just donated 10 million gold coins and attracted the attention of the goddess. This is the first time he has witnessed a divine miracle."
"What Cang Qiong said must be true; a priest wouldn't lie about his goddess."
Xingdeng hurriedly asked Lu Cang for confirmation: "President Cangqiong, then... can other churches also trigger hidden quests in this way?"
Lu Cang had anticipated that he would ask this question.
【Azure Sky】: "No, for the sake of our guild's cooperative relationship, I advise you not to donate money to other churches."
"This is my advice to you; whether you believe it or not is up to you."
After Lu Cang finished speaking.
On the other side of the starlight, a message came.
"Guild Leader, I've been queued up to the Azure Sky!"
"President, I'm dead."
Starlight gazed at the last piece of information left behind by the sky.
It remained still for a long time.
Some time later, the whole world knew that Cangqiong had donated gold coins to the Church of Wealth and received a divine reward.
Inside the Hidden Origin Guild, Yin Chen looked at the latest intelligence he had received: "Donating a certain amount of gold coins to the church will get you a special hidden item? Is the intelligence true?"
Beside him, the analyst responded, "Based on data from multiple sources, the intelligence should be true, after all, Cangqiong himself donated ten million gold coins."
"They only donated ten million gold coins because they only have ten million gold coins at this stage."
"If they accumulate the same amount of gold coins again, they are very likely to donate to the next church to obtain powerful hidden rewards."
"We also sought confirmation of this information from the priests of the Church of Wealth."
"A priest would not use his own deity as a means of deception."
"Furthermore, the Star Gate Guild has once again intensified its gold coin acquisition efforts, with their purchase ratio reaching an astonishing 1:180."
"One gold coin can be exchanged for 180 yuan, which is almost double the price."
The price of gold should have fallen instead of increased, but thanks to the Star Gate Guild's efforts, the price of gold coins has actually risen.
"Current indications suggest that donating gold coins to these churches is very likely to trigger hidden rewards."
Yin Chen frowned and asked, "Are you 100% sure?"
The analyst shook his head and said, "No, these are all inferences."
"But these rewards are all one-time events, and other guilds are likely aware of this as well."
"If we act too late, the hidden rewards will likely be claimed by other guilds first."
"This is a gamble, Chairman... please make a decision."
It's not just the Hidden Origin Guild.
Other guilds also received the news in a short period of time.
By donating ten million gold coins to the church in one go, you may receive a hidden reward from the gods.
However, ten million gold coins is the largest asset that major guilds can currently offer.
The major guilds are also considering whether to take this big gamble.
It's possible that all your efforts will be in vain, or it's possible that other guilds will snatch away multiple rewards bestowed by the gods, leaving you far behind once again.
Caught between two dilemmas.
Yin Chen finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Fine, we'll donate ten million gold coins to the Assassination Cult..."
"No! Fifteen million gold coins! Just to be on the safe side."
Yin Chen worried that ten million gold coins might just be the condition for the Church of Wealth; if it were another church, the threshold might be even higher.
The guild is already slowly dying, and trying to save it by taking a gradual approach is no longer an option.
In times of crisis, one has no choice but to take a more risky approach.
Ten million to five million gold coins—that's all the wealth the Hidden Origin Guild has received in the last few hours.
This time, Hidden Shen went all in!
