Chapter 828: Chapter 410: This Must Be a Bug!_3

...

[...After a chaotic battle, you, with the help of Shadow Fur Ball, killed the Mechanical Monster (2 stars) and gained 5 Divine Points.]

[At the location where the Mechanical Monster died, you discovered an ’Energy Box’: before each battle begins, recover three points of Energy Value.]

[You have reached the ninth layer’s exit, a blood-red staircase appears before you, do you step on it?]

After passing through the second layer’s store, Mu You continued to overcome obstacles and generals, smoothly breaking through the ninth layer.

From the sixth layer onward, two-star demons started to appear among the monsters, significantly stronger than one-star ones but also offering much more substantial rewards, five Divine Points for each kill.

Having fought all the way up to this point, Mu You’s stock of Divinity had reached 112 points, and his faith had also increased to 30, promoting him to ’Priest of Earth.’ His God’s Attack and Defense each increased by one point, his real life increased by 20 points, he comprehended the new Divine Art ’Earth Tremor,’ and also gained an additional item slot.

To advance to the next level, ’Esoteric Buddhism of Earth,’ the requirement had quintupled, needing a faith value of 180 to promote.

"Yes," Mu You continued the game.

[You step on the blood-stained staircase, ascending to the tenth layer.]

[Congratulations, your Tower of Heroes progress has reached the 10th layer!]

[All heroes will have the option to choose a permanent reward upon first setting foot on each tenth layer of the tower (this reward will not disappear upon leaving the Tower of Heroes).]

[Please make a choice from the following four rewards.]

[1, Gain 1 point of God’s Force.]

[2, Gain 1 point of God’s Defense.]

[3, Gain 1 point of Real Life.]

[4, Gain 50 Divine Points.]

"Rewards that can be taken out of the tower..."

Mu You was stunned.

Seeing this prompt, he finally understood how that number seven had gotten their Divine Points earlier. Every ten levels, one reward was granted; the other party had already cleared up to the 29th layer, obtaining rewards twice, obviously choosing 4 both times and bringing 100 Divine Points back to reality.

As long as he didn’t use those 100 Divine Points outside, they would become his starting capital each time he entered the Tower of Heroes!

It might seem like only a hundred, but an early game 100 and a late game 100 have drastically different effects. This kind of starting resource can easily cause a snowball effect, leading step by step. If it’s just for climbing the tower, this approach is indeed correct.

But the problem is exactly that: the tower challenge is ultimately time-limited. Choosing Divinity here is best for completing the task, but once the task is over, the value of Divinity will quickly depreciate, after all, it’s something that can be earned repeatedly through monster farming.

In comparison, the first three items are the truly limited goods. For example, God’s Force can only be exchanged once in a god’s life, and how many gods can a common man hope to meet in a lifetime? Moreover, each exchange costs a thousand lifespans.

Therefore, for long-term value, one should exchange the first three items.

Among God’s Force, God’s Defense, and Real Life, Real Life is first ruled out because, although it is valued at 10,000 points of life in the Star Spirit World, it will revert to its original state outside of the Star Spirit World and will disappear with just one hit from God’s Force, which is completely outvalued by God’s Defense.

Between God’s Force and God’s Defense, Mu You thought for a moment and chose God’s Force because he knew that all known offensive Divine Arts are directly linked to the value of God’s Force. In other words, the level of God’s Force of a god directly determined the overall offensive capability of that god. On the contrary, God’s Defense hasn’t shown a similar correlation yet, and even if there was, Mu You firmly believed that "the best defense is a good offense."

[Congratulations, you have made a wise choice, your God’s Force +1, current God’s Force: 7 points.]

[You continue forward, entering the central area of the tenth layer.]

[A Hellhound (3 stars) blocks your path! It is a Great General sent by the Demon King to guard the first ten layers, a nightmare that no hero can bypass.]

[After an intense battle, you were bitten to death by the Hellhound!]

[You have died, and the many enhancements you obtained inside the tower are reclaimed...]

"?"

Mu You was stunned, suddenly confronted by a three-star demon; from the description, it seemed to be the boss of the layers 1-10.

But even as a boss, this sudden death was unexpected for Mu You.

Mu You hurriedly pressed his watch to rewind, attempting to fight again.

However, it was the same result, no matter how many times he rewound, it always ended in death. The only difference was in the manner of death: being bitten, scratched, trampled... a variety of fancy ways to die kept coming, but not once could he win.

After rewinding dozens of times, Mu You realized that it was an absolute difference in raw power that couldn’t be compensated for by randomness or luck.

[You awaken outside the Tower of Heroes, all organs intact as before.]

[Everything that happened in the tower, circling in your head like a terrible nightmare, but you know it wasn’t a dream. You just experienced a defeat in the Tower of Heroes, failing before even seeing the Demon King—killed by a demon, a profound sense of shame and unwillingness overwhelmed you.]

[You recall that today you have one more chance to trial the tower, do you wish to enter immediately?]

"No."

Mu You didn’t rush to re-enter, realizing that he had underestimated the tower’s difficulty.

Although the last attempt couldn’t be called a stroke of great luck, it was relatively smooth. Moreover, he had additional support from Shadow Fur Ball and his title compared to others. Even so, he still hadn’t passed even the first major boss, indicating there were flaws in his approach to the challenge.

The number seven, with less combat power than him, had managed to clear up to the 29th layer—not due to a stroke of luck, but because they had a system constructed with items and Divine Arts. They had a complete strategy for building combat power. In contrast, he had simply been improving opportunistically, with various approaches not working in synergy, failing to coordinate any complementary tactics; naturally, the further he went, the greater the disparity.

Realizing this, Mu You controlled his character to find the merchant who exchanged emblems at the entrance earlier.

[The merchant, initially startled to see you approach, soon greeted you excitedly, asking if you had made up your mind and decided to exchange for a different hero’s emblem? The merchant stated that his previous promise was still valid, and you could exchange emblems for free with him!]

[You accepted the merchant’s invitation and, under his peculiar gaze, took a ’Moon Emblem’ from his showcase.]

[Are you sure you want to give up the identity of ’Moon Hero’ and switch to ’Priest of Earth’?]
