Chapter 889: 431

Mu You glanced over, and since few players had cleared the Hundred-Story Tower at the moment, Divine Crystals were still in a state of rare commodities. Currently, the average purchase price of a Divine Crystal was about one per 100 years of life, and he needed a thousand which totaled a hundred thousand years of life! Even when converted into real money, it equaled about seven to eight small goals!

He definitely couldn’t afford that amount, but Mu You had just the batch of assets that could be utilized, which he had previously extracted from the King’s Treasury and invested into the Caesar Faith Organization.

Adding the original savings of the Caesar Faith Organization to these, they should altogether convert into seven to eight small goals without much problem.

Of course, this batch of assets wasn’t something he could just take. Like the King’s Treasury, such large organizations had a "Treasury Magic" theft prevention mechanism, meaning that confiscated properties were stored in a specially designed Space Treasury. Except for the founder, others must meet certain conditions to extract treasures from it.

Just like the King’s personal treasury previously, Mu You had to obtain an identity verification given by the King to extract treasures, and there were also restrictions on the subsequent use of the treasures; if a violation of the usage rules was detected, the verification would automatically become invalid.

In the Caesar Faith Organization, the rules set by the three Bishops were that each held a Treasury Entrance Ring, but treasures could only be extracted from the treasury if all three founders agreed simultaneously.

This was obviously a rule set by the three to guard against each other’s betrayal and prevent any one of them from running away with all the treasures.

As for the current situation where all three founders had died, church rules also stipulated: in the absence or inability to make decisions by the founders, each expenditure had to be agreed upon by more than half of the congregation, and the total number of the congregation had to be no less than 500 to extract anything; otherwise, the treasury would be closed permanently.

Therefore, what he now had to do was to hoodwink... no, to persuade the congregation to liquidate all the assets of the organization.

Thinking this, Mu You returned to the game and gathered all the believers under the dragon head in the valley.

[You gathered all the believers under the dragon head and explained the origin of the Bone Dragon and the method to revive it.]

[Upon hearing that reviving the Bone Dragon required donating all of the church’s assets, the believers immediately showed hesitation. To most people, this was a very risky investment. If the revival of the Bone Dragon failed, or if the Bone Dragon could not defeat the Scorplion, the efforts of thousands of people in the entire church would all go to waste.]

Indeed, these people weren’t fools; when it came down to spending real money, even these fanatic believers started to feel the pinch and became cautious.

Mu You then had to lay out the facts and reason with the group of believers. He personally led everyone in a communication with the Bone Dragon, and using the Lie-Detection Stone, he proved that he indeed would use every bit of the church’s assets for reviving the Bone Dragon. This gradually won most of the congregation over.

["For Caesar!" you stood on top of the dragon head, shouting with arms raised.]

["For Caesar!" The congregation below instantly echoed your shout, reverting back to their fervent believer demeanor.]

[You have gained the support of more than half of the congregation, and obtained control over the church treasury.]

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and upon acquiring the assets, he immediately posted an announcement in Dawn City to buy Divine Crystals. He openly priced every item slightly higher than the current average buying price of the crystals by about 10%, all in order to gather the crystals as quickly as possible since the solar eclipse was only three days away, and he had no time to spare.

The Ghost Captain, silent for many days, suddenly made such a ostentatious spending announcement, which immediately sparked a flurry of discussion on the forums.

According to statistics from experts, the batch of treasures posted by the Ghost Captain had a total value close to a billion!

Many people speculated that the typically low-profile Ghost Captain, suddenly making such a large expenditure to purchase Divine Crystals, might signal something significant.

Many instantly thought of the opening of the Faith System because players venturing into the Titan’s world had previously received a warning that the "Faith System was not yet opened."

Since it is "not yet opened", there surely will be a day when it will be, and once the Faith System opens, the value of Divinity will temporarily surge—a definitely opportune moment for investment if managed well could yield a huge return!

However, nobody could be sure when exactly the Faith System would open. If it opened years later, or even several years later when Divine Crystals were in surplus, investing now would mean a huge loss.

Yet, now that the Ghost Captain, a top-level big shot, began spending heavily to purchase crystals, many interpreted it as a signal that the Faith System was about to open.

Suddenly, other major powers also started lifting their buying offers following Mu You’s pricing, not willing to fall behind.

Thus, in just half a day, the average price of Divine Crystals on the forums surged by more than ten percentage points!

Mu You, caught between laughter and helplessness, quickly got in touch with other City Lords in their group chat to explain the situation.

"Ah? Big Shot, are you telling me you’re spending money not because the Faith System is about to open?" asked the City Lords, also confused, quickly seizing the opportunity to question.
