Chapter 769: Chapter 389 Order God Statue_3

After checking out the effects of the new buildings, the forum was immediately abuzz with excitement.

"Real experience!! Everyone can get real experience!"

"A statue... does this mean the faith system has arrived?"

"A point of faith costs ten times the experience? That’s a raw deal..."

"A raw deal? Be grateful you get a chance to evolve!"

"The Order God Statue, does it mean the God of Order? So, the gods worshipped by each city are different?"

"What a celebration! The last time I broke through the tenth level by borrowing the power of the Shadow God, I was worried about the bottleneck at level 15. Now I am assured of reaching level 15!"

"Same here, I am guaranteed to reach level 20 now! As for anything beyond level 20, there’s no need to think about it, that’s for the big shots..."

"Is there a God of Love or a Goddess of Luck or something? The kind that will allow me to stumble upon money when I walk out the door..."

"Question for the crowd, what kind of gods are worshipped in the other cities? Faith can’t be changed, this seems very important. Choosing which one to believe in is something that needs careful consideration..."

"Holy cow, are you guys serious? Ten times the experience, level 15 requires over 800,000 experience points! Considering the few hundred points we get in the Underground City every day, when will we reach that amount?"

"Only 800,000, as long as you have the determination, you can always achieve it. It’s better than being stuck and watching your experience slip away every day."

"I agree, it feels great not to have the bottleneck trouble!"

...

The forum was hot with discussion among Dawn City players.

At this point, players from other cities were green with envy. Dawn City had just defeated the Shadow God not long ago, and now they had another means to break through the bottleneck. Isn’t that simply bliss?

Most people only found out at this point that there were statues of gods that could help races evolve collectively.

Fortunately, they didn’t need to drool with envy this time. Every city can build statues of gods once they upgrade to a level four main city!

For a while, numerous residents of other cities began sending private messages to their respective City Lords, strongly requesting swift city upgrades.

For this, the City Lords sweated and felt helpless. The development of Dawn City was far ahead. Even the City of Dawn, the fastest among other cities, had only just gathered the materials to upgrade from level two to level three.

Solomon was initially hesitant to further fortify some defensive structures before upgrading. Seeing the urgency of the people, he dared not hesitate any longer and urgently clicked the upgrade button.

As for the other cities, let alone them. Their progress was even slower than the City of Dawn, so they could only wait impatiently.

While the forum was still buzzing with discussions about the ’Statues of Gods’, Mu You’s attention had already returned to the game.

[The Red Spider Lily summons the phantom of the Reaper Skin in front of you.]

[Would you like to offer your lifeforce to the Reaper?]

This was a feature of Lin Xue’s Reaper Skin. Outsiders can offer the Reaper lifeforce to receive divine power. This opportunity occurs once a week, and currently the chances have refreshed.

"Yes."

[Please enter the amount of lifeforce you want to offer. Note that each person only can provide life force to the same deity once in a lifetime!]

A textbox popped up below, and Mu You of course entered 1000. Anything below 1000 was invalid.

Last time after he offered to the unknown deity of the Dark Elves, his lifespan was reduced to over 700 years. Luckily, he had his daily income from being the City Lord and the contract with the Knowledge Ancient Tree which gave him an additional fifty years of lifespan every day. With a net daily income of more than a hundred years and the accumulation over many days, his current lifespan had reached 2572 years. It was easy for him to pay out 1000 at this point.

[You have offered 1000 years of lifespan to the Reaper, remaining lifespan: 1572 years.]

[You obtained ’Divine Power’*1. Current Divine Power: 3 points.]

The 3 points of divine power came from the Shadow God, Reaper, and the Unknown Deity of the Dark Elves.

After obtaining the divine power, Mu You sent his character back to the Underground City.

The final battle with Crimson Dawn would take place tomorrow. He was now at level 19, only 500,000 experience points away, Mu You planned to grind it out within the day and break through to the next level before the decisive battle.

Although 500,000 experience points seemed a lot, he had saved up 18 double experience cards. During monster hunting, his experience could be boosted by 19 times. Along with the recently upgraded level 4 training ground, the experience value could be increased by another 1.4 times. So, even if he seemed to need 500,000 experience points, in reality, he just needed to grind 19,000 experience points to reach the target. Of course, this needed to be completed within the one-hour duration of the experience card, so the challenge was not small.

To gain experience as quickly as possible, Mu You didn’t bring any teammates and entered the Underground City alone.

[You appear in the seventh level of the Underground City.]

[The path originally blocked by the crystal mine has been dug up by others. You can move along the path they have opened.]

This grinding for experience points was a serious undertaking, and Mu You naturally had a clear target.

Over the last few days, the seventh level had been thoroughly explored by the enthusiastic players. They had provided a wealth of guides, but they had yet to locate the boss.

Before heading in, Mu You had reviewed all the exploratory guides, especially the maps of the explored areas. In the end, he chose a grinding area in a corner of the seventh level: Killer Beehive.

As the name implied, this area was occupied by a swarm of frenzied Killer Bees. These demons were incredibly difficult to deal with. Though they were only level 1 with small bodies and low HP, not even reaching 500 points, they had 150 points of physical defense and an ability called ’Thick Shell Carapace’, which could withstand ten attacks once activated.

If that was all, it wouldn’t be too bad. After all, if you attack ten times, it gets deactivated. The real problem is that when they are around the beehive, they get an aura from the bee queen. When they attack, they inject an indelible deadly poison into their victims.

Moreover, their most important characteristic is that they move in groups. If you attack any one of them, immediately hundreds or even thousands of Killer Bees swarm towards you. In less than five seconds, your poison levels will stack up to several hundred or even thousand layers, and then you die very quickly.

They’re so difficult to deal with and give such little experience, making grinding in this area risky and inefficient. So, none of the exploration teams that have entered the seventh level have chosen to take on this difficult task.

But for Mu You, this is a perfect area to grind for experience. These low HP, high-damage reduction creatures are the easiest for divine power to deal with.

As for the poison stack and swarm issues, Mu You may have had difficulty coping with them in the past. But having now obtained the Godspeed ability, and by utilizing it in conjunction with the Fool’s Card, these low-level mobs have become the perfect targets for him to grind.
