Chapter 835: Chapter 413 The Blessing of the Fairy Princess

"Boss, this mission is so hard..."

Little Ya looked at the message ’You were bitten to death by Hellhounds’ in the game and couldn’t help but complain with a bitter face.

It was a hundred-story tower, and this was already the fourth attempt, yet they hadn’t even passed ten levels, even with Mu You providing a detailed strategy guide. It showed just how ridiculously difficult this quest was.

"Don’t rush, take your time..."

Mu You smiled. These pigeon games were always heavily luck-dependent. Little Ya was using the badge of the Star Warrior, a believer in the Goddess of Luck. Many of the Divine Arts were directly related to luck, which only exacerbated the degree to which success depended on luck.

Mu You had tried just yesterday to give her the Moon Scepter and several Lunar Relics to enter the tower as Moon Hero, but unfortunately, after Little Ya entered, she received a prompt that the same Divine Artifact and Relics could only be effective for one hero within the same day.

This rule fundamentally eliminated the possibility of multiple players taking turns using the same set of Relics to climb the floors. Everyone had to rely on themselves after entering the tower; there was no chance of getting ahead by cutting corners.

Fortunately, this quest wasn’t urgent because, aside from a few rewarded for first-time completions, the regular rewards were just sitting there, not going anywhere. Whether you grabbed them early or late, it was all the same.

Since there were two free attempts each day, it was possible that on some lucky day, they could clear the tower in one go.

"How about Little Snow? What floor is she on?"

Mu You then turned to look at Lin Xue.

After he had used up his attempts yesterday, he informed his close friends and family about this quest, so they could join in early and start collecting Hero badges before the quest went into open testing and became crowded.

"Twenty-four floors... But my attributes are almost all burned up. I probably can’t go past thirty, and I doubt I’ll get past the boss of the 30th floor..." The number of floors Lin Xue mentioned caused Little Ya to gasp in astonishment.

They had started playing the game at the same time, so why was there such a big difference?

Mu You wasn’t surprised by this at all.

Naturally, Little Ya was following the normal player’s process, needing to progress methodically from scratch.

But Lin Xue was different because she came with the Grim Reaper inheritance and a Divine Artifact. When she entered the Tower of Heroes, her game displayed a prompt that was completely different from others.

"Due to your bloodline of the Grim Reaper and the conflict with the faith of your Water Badge,"

"Now you can choose to forsake your bloodline and temporarily forget all things related to the Grim Reaper, beginning your trial as a pure Water Hero."

"Or, you can choose to give up the Water Badge and continue the trial as an inheritor of the Grim Reaper’s bloodline. (Note: As the Grim Reaper’s faction does not completely align with that of the heroes, your rewards within the tower for the same events will be weaker than those of a normal hero.)"

This was the choice Lin Xue faced upon entering the tower, meaning the two divinities were incompatible. She could either enter as a follower of the Grim Reaper or as a follower of the badge’s divinity, but she couldn’t have both.

Furthermore, there was a faction issue; plainly put, the Tower of Heroes was built specifically for the followers of those nine gods. A god such as the ’outside the service range’ Grim Reaper would face a certain degree of discrimination inside the tower.

This ’discrimination’ was mainly reflected in the stores. The shops sold only Divine Arts and items related to the nine gods, as well as general Divine Arts and items, but nothing related to the Grim Reaper.

Despite this, Lin Xue still chose the Grim Reaper. After all, she came with the Sickle and Crimson Cloak, two Grim Reaper Relics, and she also had the God Slayer skin, which was a Big Killer.

The Divine Skin could indeed be used within the Tower of Heroes, but the issue remained: Activation of the skin burned attributes, and with each use, she would grow weaker until her attributes were completely gone, rendering her unable to fight.

So the Divine Skin could only be used as a last resort when she couldn’t hold on any longer, which could probably extend her progress by about ten levels.

After checking on both of their statuses, Mu You returned to his own game.

Because of the contract with No. 1 yesterday, he hadn’t used his two attempts today yet.

Mu You controlled his character to farm Undead near White Maple City for a while until the game time reached one o’clock in the afternoon, and then he promptly entered the tower.

"The failures from yesterday haven’t defeated you. You’ve made ample preparations and gathered your composure to once again step into the Tower of Heroes..."

Upon entering the game, Mu You first checked his panel.

"Warrior No. 2459."

"Identity: Moon Hero."

"Faith: 0"

"Title: God Slayer."

"Strength: 32"

"Agility: 64"

"Intelligence: 96"

"Physique: 36"

"Life: 41/41"

"Energy: 96/96"

"God’s Power: 8 points"

"God’s Defense: 3 points"

"Divinity Owned: 0 points"

"Divine Arts: Moon’s Strength LV1."

...

With the permanent rewards from the first four attempts accumulated, his starting God’s Power and Defense had reached 8-3. Three points of defensive power meant he could basically go unscathed against one-star monsters, since such monsters generally don’t have offensive Divine Arts and rely solely on regular attacks.

"You have equipped the Moon Scepter, Omniscient Crystal, and Blessing of the Moon Goddess."

This time, Mu You brought seven Lunar items with him, but unfortunately, he could only equip three at the start.

With his equipment ready, Mu You set off.

The first floor was rather unlucky, as he encountered three minor monsters in a row without triggering any events; having defeated them, he only gained three points of Divinity, not even enough to level up.

Mu You upgraded ’Moon’s Strength’ to LV2 and then stepped onto the second floor.
