Chapter 368 Protect Our City!
At about 10:00 a.m., Cook Islands time, all residents of Dawn City collectively received a city message.
[Citywide Mission: Defeat the God of Shadows and Protect the Sky City! ]
[Mission Description: A mysterious god has come to the world, and his goal is to destroy the Sky City on which we depend for survival. Protecting the Sky City is the duty of all people. It is time to take up arms, repel the enemy, and defend our city!
The God of Shadows has been restricted and is temporarily unable to move, but he will resume action in two hours, and the difficulty of killing him will increase by more than a hundred times. Therefore, we only have two hours left for our strategy, so please hurry up and act!
The following is the enemy intelligence that has been discovered (updated in real time...)
The God of Shadows, level 33, health value: 37 billion, has abilities: God's Bite, God's Defense, the specific effects are as follows...]
[Effective strategy method:
1. Because of the effects of 'God's Bite' and 'God's Defense', all players should use single high-powered attacks as much as possible instead of multiple attacks. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that each attack is at least ten seconds later before launching the next attack.
2. The magic defense of the God of Shadow is zero, but it has a little physical resistance and high abnormal state resistance. Restriction magic is completely ineffective against it. At the same time, the multiple level suppression brought by the super high level will greatly reduce our attack value. According to the current test, ordinary players of levels 1-10 can only cause 1%-3% damage to it according to different attack methods, and the damage of intermediate players of levels 10-15 is 2%-6%, and the damage of high-level players of levels 15-20 is 4%-12%, and so on...
In addition, light magic can cause additional damage to the God of Shadow. Players with light magic should try to use light spells for strategy.
3. The Octopus King is our fighting partner. It is trying to clamp the God of Shadow and create a safe output environment for us, but 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 make the God of Shadow break free. Once the God of Shadow resumes action, every attack will cause us heavy casualties. Therefore, players with water magic and recovery magic, please create water sources as much as possible, pour water on the surface of the Octopus King, and help it recover its injuries and physical strength. 】
[Task Reward: When attacking the Shadow God and causing effective damage, you will receive high real experience, permanent health points, special titles and many other rewards, and according to the damage caused, you will get the Fool's reputation in real time at a ratio of 10:1 (up to 5000 points).
After defeating the Shadow God, the top 100 residents in the final contribution will receive additional reputation rewards and the opportunity to take up senior positions. 】
In the Celestial Empire, it is now late at night, but most people are not asleep. Even those who are asleep are quickly woken up by their relatives and friends around them. There is no other reason, it is really what happened tonight that subverted many people's imagination.
Ten minutes ago, the game prompted that Dawn City was in danger of being destroyed. All players who joined Dawn City received the options of defending the city or abandoning the city for refuge. In particular, many people who claimed to be residents of Dawn City left messages on the forum, saying that they were inexplicably killed by "some existence" without even seeing the enemy, 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 being destroyed.
Some of the mid-level players were already hesitating whether to withdraw from Dawn City as soon as possible and join other cities. Otherwise, when Dawn City was really destroyed, a large number of masters would be homeless. At that time, there would be more wolves and less meat, and it would be difficult to join other cities.
Of course, more people are still waiting and watching. After all, Dawn City is the first sky city, and it has developed the fastest in all aspects. It has an unshakable lighthouse 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, the announcement finally popped up again in the game, 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 the 'God of Shadow', 'God's Devour', and 'Octopus King', which immediately caused an uproar on the forum.
"God of Shadow? Is this a real god?"
"There are actually gods in this world..."
"God actually wants to destroy Dawn City, is this a punishment from heaven?"
Many people were shocked by the word 'God' after reading the announcement, because in the culture of ancient and modern times, the image of God is basically an existence that makes mortals worship in awe, especially now that everyone knows that the opposite Star Spirit Realm is a real world. 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 also many rational players who immediately refuted it.
"What the hell, God's punishment, have you never played an online game? Isn't this just a big boss for all servers?"
"Yes, and this god is too weak. He was immobilized by our boss right after he appeared. Now he can only take a beating. What's there to be afraid of!"
"No matter if it's a god or not, if it dares to show its health bar, brothers, just deal with it!"
"Protecting the glory of the fool is our duty!"
"Are you guys serious? Didn't you see that exaggerated health?"
"Wow, 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 deal 1,000 points of damage to kill it. In two hours, can't you deal 1,000 points of damage?"
"That's what you said, but the ability of this thing is too terrible, right? It will definitely die once if it hits ten times. How many people's lifespans can withstand such consumption?"
"That's right, and there is also the problem of experience penalty. Players below level 10 are okay. They won't lose experience after death, but for players above level 10, the experience penalty for continuous death will double. If you die a few more times, you will soon fall back to below level 10... Everyone has worked hard to practice. I am willing to defend the city, and it doesn't matter if I die a few times, but I really can't let me drop a level to defend the city!"
After this paragraph, there was a few seconds of silence below the post.
The last player who spoke said what most people are most concerned about now: everyone is afraid of losing too much of their own interests in order to defend the city.
"Didn't the announcement say that attacking Shadow God can get a lot of high rewards, in addition to experience and reputation, there are also titles, and even permanent health points?"
"This reward looks very tempting, but I don't know how much it is. If the reward can offset the experience deduction of death, I don't mind participating..."
"So, are there any big guys who want to try it out? What if the reward is really good?"
...
While arguing endlessly on the forum, Mu You has maintained the mecha form in Dawn City, holding a cannon in hand, and took the lead in attacking.
At first, Mu You was a little worried. Whether two hours would be enough for them to kill Shadow God. Facing such a god-level existence, personal strength is too weak, and the whole city must be mobilized to do it.
Indeed, in the game, as long as there is a blood bar, no matter how strong the boss is, it is not a problem for players, but there is a premise for this, that is, the reward must be rich enough!
As long as the reward is worth enough, even if it is a god, players can definitely kill it in various ways to show you, but if the reward is average, the player motivation is insufficient, and it cannot attract enough players to participate, then the example of the whole server boss overturning is also common.
Therefore, whether or not we can survive this crisis depends on whether the reward for attacking this god is attractive enough!
Mu You was quite worried about this before, but before the announcement was released, after a brief exchange of information with Lin Xue, he knew it was safe.
Lin Xue's previous scythe cut with the Death God 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 generous enough, and there was no need to worry about other players not being tempted.
"Boom!"
As the cannon's charge reached ten seconds, a dazzling beam of light blasted out and fell directly on the giant Shadow Ghost in front, but it was like mud and the sea, without causing a single ripple.
However, Mu You knew that this attack still had the desired effect, because at the moment the artillery fire blasted out, several prompts appeared in his mind.
[You caused 902 damage to the Shadow of the Shadow God! Gain 1173 real experience points, and permanently increase health points by 902 points (the upper limit of the same effect is 5000 points). ]
[You gained 90 points of Fool reputation (up to 5000 points). 】
【God's Bite is triggered, and your life is forcibly deducted by 10%! 】
【Since you have caused more than 100 points of damage to the Shadow God, you have obtained the special title 'Proof of Courage'. 】
【Proof of Courage: The Fool's Hymn is the Hymn of Courage, and it is the proof that you dare to fight against God with a mortal body! Obtained after causing 100 points of damage to any god. When wearing this title, your damage to God is increased by 10%, and the effect of God's Bite is weakened by 10%. When you die in a battle with God, you will not be penalized for experience. (Not tradable, and 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 life.
The life 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. It is normal to directly attack the Shadow God to get similar loot as killing the Shadow Ghost. Unfortunately, the upper limit is only 5,000 points, and it cannot be obtained when it is full.
The second is the new title, the Certificate of Courage, a title specialized for gods. After wearing it, it increases the damage to gods and weakens the effect of the God's Bite.
Originally, players would lose 10% of their health bar each time they attacked, and ten attacks would kill them. Now, the God's Bite can only lose 9% of their health each time, and it takes 12 times to lose a person's life, which means that everyone has two more attack opportunities without side effects.
In addition, the most useful description of this badge is the last one: in the battle with the gods, the experience penalty for death is exempted.
This alone greatly reduces the worries of those mid- and high-level players. Everyone who attacks the Shadow God only needs to consider whether their lifespan is enough, and they don't need to worry about the problem of losing levels. In addition, the permanent life value and reputation rewards given by attacking the Shadow God, for mid- and high-level players, participating in this mission is definitely profitable!
In addition to the above, the real value-for-money reward for ordinary players in this mission 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 ordinary level evolution potions. 】
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 as long as players are still below level 15, no one can refuse this temptation!
"Hurry up and grab a good spot 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 level of the Shadow God 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 to the forum.
"If 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 news, and the voices are surprisingly consistent: the mission rewards are generous, and they are 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 to be true. I have also evolved! 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 the 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 come 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 response, because the city lord and deputy city lords were busy brushing bosses at this time and had no time to pay attention to the application.
Moreover, the current manpower is completely sufficient!
Just after the forum message broke out just now, countless residents of Dawn City went online, flocked to the shadow god, and rushed to attack the shadow god.
Mu You saw with his own eyes that the health bar of the shadow god jumped from 99.9% to 98.9% in just a few tens of seconds.
"It seems that I have used too much force..."
Mu You was shocked. He found that he still underestimated the strength of the player group. 370 million blood was brushed in half a minute. At this efficiency, how could it take two hours? It took less than an hour, and the shadow god would be finished!
