At around 0:10 a.m. Cook Islands time, all Auroville residents collectively received a city message.
[City-wide mission: Defeat the God of Shadows and protect Sky City! 】
[Mission description: A mysterious god came to the world with the goal of destroying the sky city we depend on for survival. It is the duty of all the people to protect the sky city. It is time to take up arms, repel the enemy and defend our city!
The Shadow God is now restricted and temporarily incapacitated. However, the Shadow God will resume action in two hours. At that time, the difficulty of killing will increase more than a hundred times. Therefore, we only have two hours left for the strategy. Please Take action now!
The following is the proven enemy intelligence (updating in real time...)
The God of Shadows, level 33, HP: 37 billion, has abilities: God's Bite, God's Defense, the specific effects are as follows...]
[Effective strategies:
1. Because of the effects of 'God's Bite' and 'God's Defense', all players are requested to use a single high-power attack as much as possible instead of multiple attacks. In addition, be sure to wait at least ten seconds after each attack before launching the next attack.
2. The God of Shadow has zero magic defense, but has a little physical resistance and high abnormal status resistance. Restrictive magic is completely ineffective against it. At the same time, the multiple levels of suppression brought by the super high level will make us The attack value is greatly reduced. According to current tests, ordinary players at levels 1-10 can only cause 1%-3% damage to them depending on their attack methods, while mid-level players at levels 10-15 can only deal 2%-6% damage. , the damage of high-level players at levels 15-20 is 4%-12%, and so on...
In addition, light magic can cause additional damage to the God of Shadows. Players with light magic should try to use light spells for strategy.
3. The Octopus King is our fighting partner. It is working hard to restrain the Shadow God and create a safe output environment for us. However, the main body of the Octopus King cannot be out of the water for a long time, otherwise the power will decline rapidly, which may cause the Shadow God to lose control. God is free from bondage. Once the Shadow God returns to action, every attack will cause us heavy casualties. Therefore, players who have water magic and recovery magic, please create water sources as much as possible, water it on the body surface of the Octopus King, and help it recover from injuries and physical strength. 】
[Task reward: When you attack the God of Shadows and cause effective damage, you will receive high amounts of real experience, permanent health, special titles and many other rewards. Based on the damage caused, you will gain the reputation of the Fool in real time at a ratio of 10:1 ( The upper limit is 5,000 points).
After defeating the Shadow God, the top 100 residents with the final contribution will receive additional reputation rewards and the opportunity to take up high-level positions. 】
It is late at night in China, but most people are not asleep. Even if they are asleep, they are quickly woken up by relatives and friends around them. What happened tonight has subverted the imagination of many people. .
Ten minutes ago, the game prompted that Dawn City was facing a crisis of destruction. All players who joined Dawn City were given the option to protect the city or abandon the city for refuge. In particular, many people who claimed to be residents of Dawn City left messages on the forum. He said that he was inexplicably killed instantly by "some kind of existence" without even seeing the enemy's face, which made people panic.
This made many ordinary people realize that Dawn City seemed to have encountered an unprecedented crisis this time. If it was not handled well, it might really be in danger of destruction.
Some of the mid-level players are already hesitating whether to quit Dawn City as soon as possible and join other cities. Otherwise, when Dawn City is really destroyed, a large number of experts will be homeless. By then, there will be more wolves and less meat, and it will be difficult to join other cities. .
Of course, more people are still waiting and watching. After all, Dawn City is the first city in the sky and has the fastest development in all aspects. It has an unshakable beacon status in the hearts of most players. If there is a chance to survive the crisis, Many people are willing to pay some price to protect the safety of Dawn City.
Until this moment, an announcement finally popped up in the game again, and it was a city-wide order directly from the city lord!
Almost as soon as the announcement was issued, it was immediately reposted on the Fool Forum.
This announcement, which was over a thousand words long, mentioned many eye-catching elements such as 'Shadow God', 'God's Bite', 'Octopus King', etc., which immediately caused an uproar on the forum.
"God of Shadows? Is this a real god?"
"There are actually gods in this world..."
"God actually wants to destroy Dawn City. Is this considered a punishment from heaven?"
After reading the announcement, many people were first shocked by the word 'god', because in cultures throughout the ages, the images of gods are basically existences that make mortals awe and worship, especially now that everyone knows that the opposite star world is a real world. The world of existence. A real god came to the world and wanted to destroy their city. Just thinking about this made many people subconsciously unable to resist.
Of course, there were many rational players who immediately refuted it.
"Damn it, haven't you ever played online games? Isn't this just a big boss for the whole server?"
"Yes, and this god is too hot. He was immobilized by our boss as soon as he appeared on the scene. Now he can only be beaten, and he is afraid of ghosts!"
"It doesn't matter if it's a god or not, if you dare to show your health bar, brothers, it's over!"
"It is our duty to protect the glory of the Fool!"
"Are you guys serious upstairs? Haven't you seen the exaggerated blood volume?"
"My dear, 37 billion health bars, is this real?"
"What's wrong with 37 billion? There are 40 million residents in Dawn City! On average, each person only needs to hit a thousand points of damage, which is enough to kill it. In two hours, can't you guys still hit a thousand points? s damage?"
"That's what I say, but the power of this thing is too terrifying, isn't it? If you hit it ten times, you will definitely die once. How many people's lifespan can withstand such a consumption?"
"That's right, and there is also the issue of experience penalty. Players below level ten will not lose experience after death. However, for players above level ten, the experience penalty for consecutive deaths will continue to double. If you die a few more times, , and soon fell back below level ten... Everyone has worked hard to get up there. I am willing to let me defend the city, even if I die a few times, it doesn't matter, but I really want to drop my level by one level in order to defend the city. ,I can not do it!"
After these words, there was silence below the post for a few seconds.
The last player to speak can be said to have said what most people are most worried about right now: everyone is afraid of sacrificing too much of their own interests in order to defend the city.
"Isn't it mentioned in the announcement? You can get many high rewards by attacking the Shadow God. In addition to experience and reputation, there are also titles and even permanent health points?"
"This reward looks quite attractive, but I don't know how much it is. If the reward can offset the experience deduction for death, I wouldn't mind participating..."
"So, are there any big guys out there who want to test the waters? What if the rewards are really good?"
…
While the debate continued on the forum, Mu You had already maintained his mecha form on Dawn City, holding the cannon in his hand, and took the lead in attacking.
Mu You was a little worried at first, whether two hours would be enough for them to kill the Shadow God. Facing such a god-level existence, one's personal power was too weak, and the whole city had to be mobilized to achieve this.
Indeed, as long as there is a health bar in the game, no matter how strong the boss is, it will not be a problem for players, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the rewards must be generous enough!
As long as the rewards are valuable enough, even gods can definitely be destroyed by players in various ways. However, if the rewards are average and the players are not motivated enough to attract enough players to participate, then the same is true of the boss overturning in the entire server. Commonly seen.
Therefore, whether we can survive this crisis this time depends on whether the reward for attacking this god is attractive enough!
Mu You was worried about this before, but after briefly exchanging information with Lin Xue before making the announcement, he knew it was safe.
Lin Xue's previous scythe cut with the Death God's skin caused tens of thousands of damage to the Shadow God, and the reward information fed back from that attack proved that the reward for killing the God this time was definitely rich enough, and other players were not afraid of being tempted.
"boom!"
As the cannon's charge reached ten seconds, a dazzling beam of light blasted out, falling directly on the giant shadow ghost in front of it, but it was like a sea of mud, without causing any ripples.
However, Mu You knew that this blow had its intended effect, because the moment the artillery fire exploded, several reminders appeared in his mind.
[You caused 902 points of damage to the Shadow of the Shadow God! Gain 1173 real experience points and permanently increase health by 902 points (the upper limit of similar effects is 5000 points). 】
[You have gained 90 points of Fool’s reputation (maximum 5,000 points). 】
[God's Bite is triggered, and your life is forcibly deducted by 10%! 】
[Because you caused more than 100 points of damage to the God of Shadows, you received the special title 'Certificate of Courage'. 】
[Proof of Courage: The Hymn of Fools is the hymn of courage, proof of daring to fight against gods with a mortal body! Obtained after causing 100 points of damage to any god. When wearing this title, your damage to gods is increased by 10%, the effect of God's Bite is weakened by 10%, and you will not be penalized by experience when you die in battle with gods. (Not tradeable, only one title can be worn at the same time.)]
That's right, as long as you cause damage to the Shadow God, you can get the same amount of experience and health.
The health value here is actually the same thing as the residue obtained by killing the shadow ghost before. After all, it seems that the shadow ghosts of the Undead Society are all created by the shadow god. Directly attacking the shadow god can obtain the value of killing the shadow ghost. Similar loot is also normal, but unfortunately the upper limit is only 5,000 points, and once it is full, you can no longer obtain it.
The second is a new title, Proof of Courage, a title specialized for gods. After wearing it, it will increase some damage to gods while weakening the effect of God's Bite.
Originally, 10% of the player's health bar would be deducted every time he attacked, and ten attacks would deduct all the points of death. Now, God's Bite can only deduct 9% of the blood bar each time, and it takes 12 times to deduct a person's life, which is equal to Everyone has two more attack opportunities without side effects.
In addition, the most useful thing about this badge is the last explanation: in the battle with the gods, the experience penalty of death is exempted.
This alone greatly reduces the worries of intermediate and advanced players. Everyone who attacks the Shadow God only needs to consider whether their lifespan is enough, and does not need to worry about losing levels. In addition, attacking the Shadow God gives you permanent health points. and reputation and other rewards. For intermediate and advanced players, participating in this mission is definitely profitable!
In addition to the above, the truly valuable reward of this mission for ordinary players is actually the most inconspicuous experience.
Because the experience gained from attacking the gods this time is not ordinary experience value, but 'real experience'!
[Real experience: Experience that will not be deducted by death can automatically break through the bottleneck below level 20. The effect is equivalent to taking an ordinary level evolution potion. 】
This was the first time Mu You had seen this entry, but after reading the description, he immediately understood that as long as the effect of this thing was announced, it would definitely make all ordinary players crazy.
You can skip the evolution potion and go directly to the experience of breaking through the bottleneck. He believes that no one can refuse this temptation as long as they are players below level 15!
"Hurry up and grab a good seat while there's no one around now. We'll grab it soon!"
Mu You said to the game characters Xiaoya and Lin Hai beside him.
"clear!"
The two responded by stepping up to occupy the most comfortable attacking position.
Xiaoya is from the summoning system and does not have many damaging magics. On the contrary, Lin Hai is a healer. Although she is a healer, she has a lot of holy light healing magics that can cause high damage to shadow creatures, such as the great holy light spell, which can be used with one shot. A thousand points of damage, even after layers of damage reduction, can still cause seventy or eighty points of damage to the Shadow God every time. It is easy to get a full five thousand points of life, and you can also get a huge amount of experience points later. With this wave Based on real experience, it is not a problem to directly break through the bottleneck of level 15.
But Mu You is even more outrageous.
His single most powerful attack is undoubtedly the charged cannon.
A cannon that charges for ten seconds can do more than 9,000 points of damage in a single shot. With the title's 10% damage increase, the damage is nearly 10,000 points!
Even after damage reduction, the bombardment on Shadow God still has a thousand points. Coupled with the 30% experience bonus from the third-level training ground, he can gain about 1,300 experience points every time he attacks.
1300 experience in 10 seconds, what kind of magical efficiency is this?
The only regret for Mu You is that the Shadow God is not a wild monster, so the experience cards cannot be used. Otherwise, all the more than ten experience cards he has now are activated. After the completion of this mission, his experience gain will definitely explode!
As for Lin Xue, it is a pity that the part of the health bar that was reduced by using the death knell to reduce the Shadow God's level has not been settled on her.
To get the God-killing reward, you must actually cause damage to yourself, and the damage caused by Deathstroke is the backlash damage caused by the opponent's own sin value.
In addition, Lin Xue could not summon the Death Shadow at this time, so she could only use black magic every ten seconds to slowly accumulate damage like Xiao Hai and the others.
And just when Mu You and others were happily beating the boss, the battle report about the front line was finally sent back on the forum.
"Here I go, I can actually gain life!"
"How much can I get?"
"You can gain as much life as you deal damage, but the maximum you can get is 5,000 points!"
"Damn, so many? I'm a little excited..."
"Not only that, but there are also experience and reputation rewards, and there are also titles, which can exempt you from the penalty of death experience... All I can say is, it's so delicious! As long as there is damage magic, come and use it quickly, you will definitely not lose!"
…
More and more pioneers are sending back the news, and the voices are surprisingly consistent: the mission rewards are generous, and it is definitely worth blasting!
The continuous positive feedback also made more and more onlookers waver. Could it be that this mission is really profitable?
And soon, the remaining wavering disappeared, because an even more exciting news came back.
"Damn it, I just defeated the boss and automatically broke through to level ten!" A player who had just broken through the level ten bottleneck posted a message.
"What?"
"You're lying, right? You must have prepared the evolution potion in advance!"
"Are you serious? Anyone who knows me knows that I have been stuck at level ten for half a year. If there was an evolution potion, wouldn't I have used it a long time ago?"
"You mean, you just fought the boss, and the boss helped you complete your evolution?"
"That's right!"
"No way, you're lying to a child!"
"Oh my god, it seems real. I have evolved too! It has the same effect as drinking the evolution potion normally. I get 100% damage increase and 50% damage reduction!"
"Same as above, what a surprise! I thought I would be stuck at level ten for the rest of my life..."
…
More and more level 10 players have come forward to prove the authenticity of what the poster said.
And it wasn't until dozens of floors later that someone finally told the detailed truth.
"The experience gained from attacking the boss this time seems to be 'real experience'. This kind of experience can allow players below level 20 to directly break through the bottleneck!"
As soon as this explanation came out, there was an uproar on the forum.
Attack the boss and you can automatically break through the bottleneck! The news spread throughout the forum instantly.
But below the original post, there were no comments from Dawn City players, because everyone who saw it rushed to the game to verify the authenticity.
Only a group of players from other cities and those who had not joined Sky City looked at each other with envy, their eyes turning green.
Breaking through the bottleneck directly without the evolution potion is an opportunity that many beta players have been waiting for for a year or two!
But now, this opportunity is placed in front of all the residents of Dawn City, and it is within their reach!
A few minutes later, a large number of posts asking to join Dawn City erupted. Because when the previous crisis broke out, some people withdrew from Dawn City, resulting in about two million vacancies in Dawn City at this time.
At this moment, countless applications for entering the city are floating towards Dawn City, and many experts even quit other cities and came to apply for Dawn City.
Those who had withdrawn from Dawn City before just a thought, even beat their chests and feet, and their intestines turned green with regret.
Unfortunately, their application was destined to receive no reply, because at this time, the city lord and deputy city lords were busy fighting the boss and had no time to pay attention to the application.
What's more, the current manpower is completely sufficient!
Just after the forum message broke out, countless Dawn City residents came online, swarmed around the Shadow God, and rushed to attack the Shadow God.
Mu You watched with his own eyes as the Shadow God's health bar jumped from 99.9% to 98.9% in just a few dozen seconds.
"It seems like I used too much force..."
Mu You was stunned when he saw it. He found that he still underestimated the strength of the player group. He drained 370 million blood in half a minute. According to this efficiency, how could it take two hours? It won’t even take an hour, and the movie god will have to finish playing!
