Supernatural Phenomena, Just as Expected

Apocalypse had not officially arrived yet, so Qin Chuan could not spell everything out. Still, he trusted Dawn and the others to understand some of what he meant.

And just as Qin Chuan expected, Dawn said uncertainly, "I get what you're saying, Guild Leader, but the Church seems to treat its followers all right. They even hand out bread."

Qin Chuan smiled. "You could get bread too if you paid them an offering every month."

Season Star did a quick calculation. "With the money those followers donate, they could buy at least twenty times as much bread. And that's not even counting what they spend on Indulgence Tickets and the like."
