A single game dungeon produced profits worth 1.7 billion.
Even Lin Mo himself could only describe it with three words: Absurd, Ridiculous, Too fake.
Of course, the Divine Oracle officials weren't fools. Their original intention in creating Divine Oracle was naturally not to hand out benefits to players.
According to the Divine Tomb dungeon's rules, players could only bring out all the treasure chests they obtained if they cleared the dungeon.
If they failed, they could only settle for 10% of the treasure chest rewards, while the remaining 90% would be reclaimed by the dungeon.
Players had to purify fifty Divine Guards within two hours to clear the dungeon.
The combination of one Dark Priest and ten Black Demons inside Divine Tomb was something ordinary player teams simply couldn't handle.
Not to mention dealing with fifty such groups within two hours.
Even someone like Wang Junjie, who spent fifty million before entering the dungeon to strengthen his team, could only barely clear it if Nether hadn't interfered.
As a result, for the vast majority of players entering Divine Tomb, bringing out one or two treasure chests in a run and splitting resources worth a few tens of thousands among five people was already the limit.
The number of treasure chests in Divine Tomb was limited. The dungeon's total value was fixed.
The officials' original intention was for the ten million players of Inferno City to share this giant cake together.
That way they could attract popularity and retain players during the early stages, then begin cashing in after the recharge system opened three months after launch.
Just like online shopping platforms that hold events during the Spring Festival where people share prize pools worth hundreds of millions.
The total prize money looks huge, but when hundreds of millions of people split it, each person only gets a few yuan in the end.
What they didn't expect was that Lin Mo's appetite was too good.
By himself, he had nearly taken a tenth of the entire cake in one bite.
Besides that, Ning Xi's tenfold reward multiplier also played a huge role.
Without it, the value of 1.7 billion would have been reduced to 170 million.
And that 1.7 billion was only from this dungeon run.
Lin Mo still had two more chances to enter Divine Tomb.
Although dungeon-clear rewards could only be obtained once per person, meaning future Divine Tomb clears would no longer provide the First Clear Gift Packs and would therefore lose the extra 500 Level 1 Treasure Chests, the next two runs would still be worth at least one billion each.
"Once I maximize the profits from Divine Tomb, my capital will be enough to build my own guild."
Based on an estimated total value of 3.7 billion from all three dungeon runs, plus the five hundred million Lin Mo already possessed, that would be over four billion in total.
That was already close to the market value of a publicly listed company.
Supporting a guild of ten thousand people would be no problem at all.
However, Lin Mo only had the idea for now and couldn't put it into action yet.
Because after this incident, he had completely figured out the Boss's nature.
The facts proved Lin Mo's guess was correct, "The Boss didn't make a move before. He only had Nether set a trap for me inside Divine Tomb. Looks like he really is wary of the protection I have outside the dungeon from Divine Nation, Chaotic Times, and Blood Dance."
"If I establish my own force too early and attract too much attention, the Boss will probably become even less willing to act against me personally. Then it'll be even harder to uncover him."
For Lin Mo, he was in the light while the other party remained in the shadows.
As long as the Boss remained alive, Lin Mo would continue to face danger.
So Lin Mo needed to hide his edge even more.
Show weakness in front of the Boss and lure him into making a move.
"First deal with the Boss. Once this threat is eliminated and I have nothing left to worry about, I can peacefully establish my own force, build a guild empire, and prepare for Divine Oracle's descent two months from now."
For now, he would simply save the money.
As long as he had money, a guild could be established at any time.
Besides, Lin Mo currently didn't have a Guild Creation Token. Even if he created a guild now, it would be little more than a name. Other than having more people available to help, there would be none of the actual guild benefits.
It was a good opportunity to wait for the King of Kings Tournament in the Super God Arena, where the championship reward was a Guild Creation Token.
Or he could wait for the Guild Creation Token that would soon appear in the Surprise Shop within the Points Store.
Only a guild created through a Guild Creation Token was a real guild.
Thus, Lin Mo planned to make use of the remaining two Divine Tomb entries while Ling Xiao and the others still had their rank boost effects.
After all, money only felt secure once it was in his hands.
Just then, Lin Mo suddenly seemed to think of something.
Before contacting Ling Xiao and the others, he opened the real-time dungeon treasure chest statistics panel and checked the remaining treasure chests in Divine Tomb.
Level 1 Treasure Chests Remaining: 92.11%;
Level 2 Treasure Chests Remaining: 91.45%;
Level 3 Treasure Chests Remaining: 93.10%;
Level 4 Treasure Chests Remaining: 91.75%;
Level 5 Treasure Chests Remaining: 90.00%;
Looking at the remaining chest data, Lin Mo was somewhat surprised, "The treasure chests I've obtained so far don't even account for one-tenth of the dungeon's total?"
"At this rate, even if I maximize the next two dungeon runs, I'll only get around thirty percent of the total treasure chest resources?"
Even though one-tenth was already a lot, who would ever complain about having too much money?
Naturally, Lin Mo wanted more.
Ideally, all of it.
The more treasure chests he obtained, the more money he would have.
And the more money he had, the greater his resources would be for building a guild in the future.
"But each person only gets three Divine Tomb entries in their lifetime. How can I obtain all the treasure chests within three runs?"
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about it, beside him, Divine Advent Seraph Siya suddenly spoke in a gentle voice, "Brother Lin Mo, do you want the treasure chests inside Divine Tomb?"
"I can help you."
Hearing this, Lin Mo immediately brightened up, "Siya, do you have a way?"
Siya raised her slender hand.
Her clear eyes gazed at the bracelet on her wrist with affection.
It was the Heart of Eternity, the only relic her mother had left behind.
She softly said, "Actually, those treasure chests were created from my divine power and nurtured through the Heart of Eternity."
"The Heart of Eternity releases my divine power. That power then protects me from the outside world, which is why my soul was able to survive for twenty years without fading."
"As long as the divine power is recovered through the Heart of Eternity, those treasure chests can be obtained quickly."
It seemed that for Siya, the Heart of Eternity was more than just her mother's keepsake.
It was also a weapon for defeating enemies.
Armor that protected Siya.
The significance of this item was truly extraordinary.
But then, Siya lowered her head, "However, when I woke up, I discovered that the Heart of Eternity was already damaged."
"When I was inside Divine Tomb earlier, I tried using it and found that the Heart of Eternity can no longer absorb divine power..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo opened the pet panel and checked Siya's information.
He originally wanted to see whether he could check the status of the Heart of Eternity.
Instead, he accidentally discovered a shocking secret about it.
