At around 0:10 a.m. Cook Islands time, all the residents of Dawn received a message from the city.

[Citywide Mission: Defeat the God of Shadows and Protect Sky City!] 】

[Mission Description: A mysterious god has descended into the world, the goal is to destroy the sky city we rely on for survival, protect the sky city, it is incumbent on all the people, it's time to take up arms, repel the incoming enemy, and defend our city!]

The God of Shadows is now restricted and temporarily inactive, but in two hours the God of Shadows will resume its operations, and the difficulty of killing will be more than a hundred times higher, so there are only two hours left for us to play, so please hurry up!

Here's what you've found enemy intel (updating...... ）

God of Shadows, Level 33, HP: 37 billion, Possessed Ability: God's Eater, God's Defense, the specific effects are as follows......]

【Effective strategy method:

1. Because of the effects of 'God's Eater' and 'God's Defense', all players are requested to use a single high-powered attack instead of multiple attacks as much as possible. Also, make sure that each attack is at least ten seconds away before launching the next one.

2, the magic defense of the god of shadows is zero, but it has a little physical resistance and high ailment resistance, and the restricted magic is completely ineffective against it, and the multi-level suppression brought by the super high level will greatly reduce our attack value, according to the current test, ordinary players at levels 1-10 can only cause 1%-3% damage to them according to the different means of attack, intermediate players at levels 10-15 are 2%-6%, high-level players at levels 15-20 are 4%-12%, and so on......

In addition, light magic can deal extra damage to the God of Shadows, so players with light magic should try to use light spells to attack.

3, The Octopus King is our combat partner, and it is trying to restrain the God of Shadows and create a safe output environment for us, but the main body of the King Octopus cannot be out of the water for a long time, otherwise the power will decline rapidly, and it is possible to free the God of Shadows from the shackles. Once the God of Shadows is back in action, every attack will cost us heavy casualties. Therefore, players with water magic and recovery magic should make as much water as possible, pour it on the surface of the Octopus King's body, and help him recover his injuries and stamina. 】

[Quest Reward: When attacking the God of Shadows and dealing effective damage, you will receive high rewards such as real experience, permanent health, and special titles, and gain Fool Reputation in real time (up to 5000 points) at a ratio of 10:1 according to the damage dealt.]

After defeating the Shadow God, the top 100 residents who contribute will receive additional prestige rewards and the opportunity to take on a high-level position. 】

In the Celestial Empire, it is late at night, but the vast majority of people have not fallen asleep, and even if they are asleep, they are quickly called up by relatives and friends around them.

Ten minutes ago, the game suggested that Dawn City had encountered a crisis of annihilation, and all players who joined Dawn City received the option to protect the city and abandon the city for refuge, especially many people who claimed to be residents of Dawn City, left messages on the forum, saying that they hadn't even seen the face of the enemy, and they were inexplicably killed by 'some kind of existence', which made people panic.

This made many ordinary people realize that Dawn City really seemed to be in an unprecedented crisis this time, and if it was not handled well, it might really be in danger of destruction.

Some of these mid-level players are already hesitating whether to quit Dawn City as soon as possible and join other cities, otherwise when Dawn City really falls, a large number of masters will be homeless, and 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, after all, Dawn City is the first city in the sky, and it has the fastest development in all aspects, and has an unshakable lighthouse status in the hearts of most players, and 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's Forum.

This thousand-word announcement, which mentioned many eye-catching elements such as 'God of Shadows', 'God Devourer', and 'Octopus King', immediately caused an uproar on the forum.

"God of Shadows? Is this a true god? ”

"There really are gods in this world......

"God actually wants to destroy Dawn City, is this a heavenly punishment?"

Many people were first shocked by the word 'god' after reading the announcement, because in the culture of the past and present, the image of God is basically an existence that makes mortals awe and worship, especially now that everyone knows that the astral spirit world opposite is a real world. A true god came into the world to destroy their city, and just thinking about this made many people subconsciously unable to resist.

Of course, there are also many sane players who immediately refuted it.

"Fart's punishment, haven't you ever played an online game? Isn't this just a big full-server boss? ”

"That's it, and this god is too spicy chicken, he was fixed by our big guy as soon as he appeared, and now he can only be beaten, afraid of a ghost!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a god or not, dare to show the blood bar, and the brothers will be done with it!"

"It is incumbent upon us to protect the glory of the fool!"

"Are you all serious about the upstairs? You don't see that exaggerated amount of health? ”

"Good boy, 37 billion blood bars, is this real?"

"What's wrong with 37 billion? 40 million inhabitants of Dawn City! On average, each person only needs to hit a thousand points of damage, which is enough to kill it, and in two hours, can't they fight a thousand points of damage? ”

"That being said, but this thing's abilities are terrifying, isn't it? Ten hits will inevitably lead to death, how many people can afford to live such a consumption? ”

"That's right, and there's also the problem of experience punishment, players below level 10 can say that they won't lose experience after death, but players above level 10, the experience penalty for continuous death will continue to double, die a few more times, and soon fall back below level 10...... Everyone has worked hard to cultivate, let me defend the city, I am willing, and it doesn't matter if I die a few times, but if you really want me to drop the level of a rank in order to defend the city, I can't do it! ”

After this statement, there was a temporary silence below the post for a few seconds.

The last player to speak said what most people are most afraid of right now: everyone is afraid of losing too much of their own interests in order to defend the city.

"Didn't you say it in the announcement? There are a lot of high rewards that can be obtained by attacking the Shadow God, in addition to experience reputation, there are also titles, and even permanent health? ”

"This reward seems quite 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 in it......"

"So, is there a big guy who is going to test the water? What if the rewards are really good? ”

……

While arguing on the forum, on Dawn City, Mu You had already maintained his mecha form, with a cannon in hand, and took the lead in attacking.

At first, Mu You was also a little worried, whether two hours was enough for them to kill the Shadow God, in the face of this kind of god-level existence, the strength of the individual was too weak, and it was necessary to mobilize the whole city to do it.

It is true that 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 premise for this, that is, the rewards must be generous enough!

As long as the reward is worth enough money, even if it is a god, the player can definitely change the way to destroy you, but if the reward is average, the player is not motivated enough to attract enough players to participate, then it is not uncommon for the boss to overturn on the whole server.

Therefore, whether you can survive this crisis this time depends on whether the reward given by attacking this god is attractive enough!

Mu You was quite worried about this before, but before the announcement, after briefly exchanging information with Lin Xue, he knew that it was stable.

Lin Xue used the scythe of the Grim Reaper's skin to cut before, causing tens of thousands of points of damage to the Shadow God, and the reward information fed back by that attack proved that the reward of killing the god this time was definitely rich enough, and he was not afraid that other players would not be tempted.

"Boom!"

As the cannon reached ten seconds of charging, a dazzling pillar of light burst out and fell directly on the giant shadow ghost in front of it, but it was like a sea of mud, without causing a single wave.

However, Mu You knew that this blow still had the desired effect, because the moment the artillery fire burst out, several prompts had already appeared in his mind.

[You dealt 902 damage to Shadow God!] Gain 1173 real experience points and permanently increase your health by 902 points (up to a maximum of 5000 points for similar effects). 】

[You have gained 90 Fool Fame (capped at 5000 points.] 】

[God's Eater triggers, your life is forcibly deducted by 10%!] 】

[Because you have dealt more than 100 damage to the God of Shadows, you have received the special title 'Proof of Courage'.] 】

[Proof of Courage: The hymn of the fool is the hymn of courage, the proof of daring to confront the gods with a mortal body!] Gain 100 damage to any god. While wearing this title, you deal 10% more damage to gods, reduce the effects of devouring gods by 10%, and do not receive experience penalties when you die in battle with gods. (Not tradable and can only be worn with one title at a time.) ）】

That's right, as long as you deal damage to the Shadow God, you can gain the same amount of experience and health.

The health value here is actually the same thing as the remnants obtained by killing the shadow ghost before, after all, it seems that the shadow ghosts of the Undead Society are all made through the shadow god, and it is normal to directly attack the shadow god to obtain similar loot for killing the shadow ghost, but unfortunately the upper limit is only five thousand points, and it can no longer be obtained when it is full.

The second is a new title, Proof of Courage, a title that specializes in gods, which, when worn, increases some damage to gods and weakens the effect of devouring gods.

Originally, players would be deducted 10% of their health bar for each attack, and ten attacks would deduct their death, but now, God's Eater can only deduct 9% of their blood each time, and it takes 12 times to deduct a person's life, which is equivalent to each person having two more chances to attack without side effects.

Also, the most useful thing about this badge is the last note: in a battle with a god, you are exempt from the experience penalty of death.

This alone greatly reduces the worries of those middle and advanced players, everyone who attacks the Shadow God, only needs to consider whether their life span is enough, and does not need to worry about the problem of falling off, plus the permanent health and prestige rewards given by the attack Shadow God, for intermediate and advanced players, participating in this mission is definitely earning!

In addition to the above, the truly valuable reward of this mission for ordinary players is actually the most inconspicuous experience.

This is because the experience gained from this attack on the gods is not ordinary experience points, but 'real experience'!

[Real Experience: Experience that will not be deducted by death can automatically break through the bottleneck below level 20, and the effect is equivalent to taking a normal-grade evolution potion.] 】

This entry Mu You also saw it for the first time, 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.

The experience of skipping the evolution potion and directly breaking through the bottleneck, he believes that as long as it is a player who is still below level 15, no one can refuse this temptation!

"While there is no one now, hurry up and occupy a good position, it's about to be grabbed!"

Mu You said to the game characters of Xiaoya and Lin Hai beside him.

"Understood!"

Both of them replied, both of them stepping up to occupy the most comfortable attack position.

Xiao Ya is a summoning system, and there is not much damage magic, but it is Lin Hai, don't look at it as a healer, but there are a lot of healing magic of the holy light system, which can cause high damage to shadow creatures, such as the Great Holy Light Technique, thousands of damage points per shot, even after layers of damage reduction, it can still cause seventy or eighty damage points to the shadow god each time, and it is easy to get five thousand points of life, and you can also get a large amount of experience points later, with this wave of real experience, it is not a problem to directly break through the bottleneck of level fifteen.

And Mu You is even more outrageous.

His single strongest attack is undoubtedly the charged cannon.

The cannon charged in ten seconds can reach more than 9,000 points in a single time, and the 10% damage increase of the title is nearly 10,000 points!

Even after reducing the damage, there are 1,000 points for bombarding the Shadow God, and with the 30% experience bonus of the Level 3 training ground, he can gain about 1,300 experience points for each attack.

10 seconds 1300 experience, what kind of immortal efficiency is this?

The only thing that makes Mu You regret is that the shadow god is not a wild monster, so the experience card cannot be used, otherwise his current more than ten experience cards will be activated, and after the settlement of this mission, his experience point harvest will definitely be overwhelming!

As for Lin Xue's side, it's a pity that she used the death knell to reduce the level of the Shadow God just now, and the part of the blood bar that was cut was not settled on her.

If you want to get the reward of killing gods, you must actually cause the damage yourself, and the damage caused by Death Knell is the backlash damage caused by the opponent's own sin value.

In addition, Lin Xue couldn't summon the Death Phantom at this time, so she could only use black magic every ten seconds to slowly accumulate damage like Xiao Hai and them.

And just when Mu You and the others were already happily brushing the boss, on the forum, a battle report about the front line finally came back.

"I'll go, I can really get life!"

"How much can you get?"

"You can add as much life as you deal to damage, but you can get up to 5,000 points!"

"Damn, so much? It's a little exciting......"

"Not only that, but there are also experience and reputation rewards, and there are also titles that exempt you from the death experience penalty...... All I can say is, it's so fragrant! As long as there is damage magic, hurry up and brush it, there is absolutely no loss! ”

……

More and more pioneers are sending back news, and the caliber is unexpectedly unanimous: the mission rewards are rich, and it is definitely worth exploding!

The continuous positive feedback has also shaken more and more wait-and-see people, is it true that this mission is really profitable?

Soon, the only remaining vacillation was gone, as an even more powerful piece of news returned.

"Damn, I just brushed the boss and automatically broke through level 10!" A post by a player who has just broken through the bottleneck of level 10.

"What?"

"Liar, huh? I must have prepared the Evolution Elixir in advance! ”

"Are you serious, everyone who knows me knows that I've been stuck at level ten for half a year, and I won't use it long ago if I want to have an evolution potion?"

"You mean, you just fought the boss, and the boss helped you complete your evolution?"

"That's right!"

"Impossible, lie to the child!"

"Oh my God, it seems to be true, I've evolved too! The same effect as drinking the Evolution Potion normally, you get 100% damage increase and 50% damage reduction! ”

"Ditto, what a surprise! I thought I was going to be stuck at level 10 for the rest of my life......"

……

More and more level 10 players have come forward to prove the authenticity of this poster's statement.

And it wasn't until dozens of floors later that someone finally told the detailed truth.

"The experience gained from this attack boss seems to be 'real experience', and this experience can allow players below level 20 to directly break through the bottleneck!"

As soon as this explanation came out, the forum was in an uproar.

Attack the boss, you can automatically break through the bottleneck! The news instantly spread all over the forum.

And below the original post, there was no player post from Dawn City, because everyone who saw it was in a hurry to go to the game to verify the authenticity.

Only a group of players from other cities and those who did not join Sky City looked at each other, and their eyes were green with envy.

In the absence of an evolution potion, directly break through the bottleneck, this is an opportunity that many closed beta players have waited for a year or two without waiting!

And now, this opportunity is in front of all the residents of Dawn, and it is within reach!

A few minutes later, a large number of posts of 'begging to join Auroville' broke out, because some people quit Auroville when the crisis broke out, resulting in a vacancy of about two million in Auroville at this time.

At this moment, countless applications to enter the city have drifted to Dawn City, and there are even many masters who have withdrawn from other cities and come to apply for Dawn City.

Those who quit Dawn City at a thought before, beat their chests even more, and their bowels were blue with remorse.

It's a pity that their application is destined to not receive a reply, because the city lord and deputy city lord at this time are busy brushing the boss and have no time to pay attention to the application.

What's more, the current manpower is completely sufficient!

Just after the news of the forum broke out just now, countless residents of Dawn City went online and flocked to the Shadow God, scrambling to launch an attack on the Shadow God.

Mu You watched the Shadow God's blood bar jump from 99.9% to 98.9% in just a few dozen seconds.

"I think I've pushed too hard......"

Mu You was stunned, he found that he still underestimated the strength of the player group, and brushed 370 million blood in half a minute, according to this efficiency, where does it take two hours? It won't take an hour, and the Shadow God will have to finish!
