  Chapter 410 This must be a bug!

  【Stepping through the blood-stained steps, you have come to the second floor of the Tower of the Brave. 】

  【Three roads appeared in front of you. There is a black shadow floating on the left road, maybe another monster is blocking the road; on the middle road, there is a shining treasure chest; the right road is empty, there is nothing, and it leads directly to the next intersection. your choice…】

  【You choose to go to the treasure chest in the middle. 】

  【You walked quickly to the treasure chest and opened it with excitement. 】

  【Unfortunately, the box is empty, and the treasure inside has already been taken away by other brave men. You triggered the mechanism on the treasure chest, and you were stabbed in the palm by a poisonous needle, and your HP was -15...]

  【Time flies, you return to the entrance on the second floor. 】

  【This time, you choose to go to the left. 】

  【You met a brave man! 】

  【Your Omniscient Crystal automatically fed back the opponent's detailed information: number 7, disciple of fire, 2 points of divine power, 3 points of divine defense, and 54/54 HP. The highest number of floors passed: 29 floors, progress ranking: No. 1. 】

  【This is the first encounter with other brave men, but it makes you extremely vigilant. Although you are both brave men who are fighting against the Demon Lord, you are not comrades in arms, but a relationship of competition. 】

  【Then, meeting on a narrow road, what choice do you have to make? 】

  【1, Attack. When encountering each other on a narrow road, it is most important to seize the opportunity. 】

  【2. Try to communicate with the other party, maybe the other party is also a friendly person. 】

  【3. Stand still and wait for the opponent's choice. 】

"Huh?"

   Mu You was startled. I didn't expect to run into a player as soon as I came to the second floor, and he is currently the player with the most progress in climbing the tower!

  No. 7, from the serial number, it can be seen that this is one of the first players to start this mission. If it can stand out from thousands of players and rank first, then its actual combat ability will definitely not be weak.

  However, even for the first player, the number of clearance levels is only 29?

   Mu You was a little relieved. He was worried that others would clear this mission first. Now it seems that the difficulty of the subsequent stages of this tower should be quite high, and there are still many opportunities left for him.

As for the options in front of you, you don’t have to think about it, the other party will definitely do it. The number one player encounters a newcomer who has just entered the game, just like a person walking on the road and encounters an ant blocking the way. Other possibilities.

  【Hero No. 7 looks at you, his eyes are like a beast examining a sheep that has no power to resist. 】

  【Before you make a choice, the opponent has already made a choice first, and confidently launched an attack on you. 】

  【After a thrilling battle, you killed No. 7 brave man, HP -20, remaining HP 1/51. 】

  【Warrior's Blood activates, your HP has recovered by 7 points, current HP: 8/51. 】

   "Oh?" Mu You was slightly surprised.

  I thought that with the restraint of the shadow pompom, he should be able to kill the opponent without injury, but in the end he was still depleted of blood, and the deduction was quite a lot. If he was hit more, he would be killed by the opponent.

   It can only be said that as expected of the number one player, he really has two brushes.

   Moreover, Mu You has discovered that the shadow pompom is far less useful inside the tower than outside. The Shadow Binding can directly block a person's actions in the outside world, but in this tower, I don't know if the creatures here have a relationship with divinity, so they can only slow down their actions, but cannot completely restrain them.

   Came back to his senses, Mu You continued to look down.

  【Hero No. 7 died tragically in front of you. Now, you can choose one of the following three items as your trophy! 】

  【1. Obtain all unused divinity of the opponent. 】

  【2. Randomly obtain an equipped prop from the other party. 】

  【3. Steal one-tenth of the opponent's faith value. 】

   Choose one of the three spoils, first exclude the third one.

  I just entered the second floor of the tower, and basically only have single-digit beliefs, and one-tenth is negligible.

  The same is true for the first divinity. Generally, there will not be much divinity left at the current stage.

  Mu You chose 2 directly.

  【You got the item 'Scythe of Fire': Whenever you ignite the opponent, burn the opponent's defense. 】

   This is a fire-type special item. It should be specially used to cooperate with the opponent's fire hero's magic, but it is basically useless against Mu You.

   Mu You went back and looked at other props.

  Three items can be assembled in the believer stage, and the remaining two are 'Fire Shield' and 'Fire Windbreaker', which are also special fire-type items.

   Mu You immediately understood why this person was ranked first. These three items are likely to be relics brought in by the other party, and they are very suitable for the fire hero, which greatly strengthens his initial combat power in the tower, so that he can stand out among thousands of players!

  It's a pity that these three props are useless to him. Even if he takes one here, he will only get a temporary copy, which will disappear after leaving the tower.

   Mu You shook his head, backtracked again, and chose the first item.

  【You have gained divinity points*100. 】

   "100 points?"

   Mu You was surprised.

   You must know that this is only the second floor. The other party has only experienced three events like him. How can there be so much divinity?

  Mu You had just encountered a special event before, and sold his blood to the limit, and only gained 19 points of divinity at one time. Even if the other party encountered three similar events in a row, it is impossible to exceed a hundred, right?

   Mu You frowned, and couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to let it go.

  No matter what, it is always a good thing to get so many divinities at once.

  【You continue to set off, and a businessman with a crow face appears in front of you. 】

[The crow face warmly invites you to browse its products. It is a divine merchant. You can buy magic spells, props, potions and other commodities from him. In addition, you can also sell props you don’t need, but All transactions need to be paid with Divinity. 】

  When the text suggested that divinity is equal to currency, Mu You guessed that there should be something like a store in the future, and now it really happens.

  Mu You Click to view.

  【You walk towards Crow Face, who shows you its wares. 】

[Potion of God's Power, Potion of God's Defense, Divine Art 'Raging Waves' (purchased only by Water Braves), Divine Art 'Bone Corrosion' (only available for purchase by Dark Braves), Divine Art 'Falling Rock' (only available to Earth Warriors) Heroic purchase)...Armlet of God of War, Shoes of Wind, Frozen Pipe...]

There are more than 20 products listed in the store, including one for each of the nine types of magic arts, and two potions, which will increase the power of gods and the defense of gods after taking them. It is 50 gods, but it is limited to purchase, and each person is limited to one purchase, unless you meet other merchants later.

  The rest are all props, which are also available in various departments. The first thing Mu You noticed was the 'God of War armband'.

  【War God armband: God of War once used the artifact, increase 100 points of God Defense, enter the state of magic immunity when actively using it, and last for ten seconds. (Only available to the Brave of the Earth) Price: 5000 divinity points. 】

   Artifact! 5000 divinity points!

   It's clearly something he can't afford.

The reason why Mu You noticed this was because he also had an item with the same name: the armband seized from Z World Walker before, but that was obviously just an imitation of the artifact, as can be seen from the effect, increasing The most important thing is ordinary defense, which is only useful in the astral world, so it didn't appear in the available items on the panel before.

   But seeing this artifact, Mu You remembered another artifact he owned: the Scepter of the Moon.

  In the description of the Scepter of the Moon, it is clearly stated that it is an artifact, so it must also belong to the category of "real" artifacts. As a result, it did not appear in the item list on his panel before.

   Now that he saw the description of the armband, he understood that the Moon Scepter could only be used when he came in as the Moon Brave.

   When he came back to his senses, Mu You looked at the effects of all the props, but he didn't find anything eye-catching. Either they were too expensive for him to afford, or the effects were mediocre and he didn't like them.

  As for the magic spells, the magic spells here should be magic spells that cannot appear in the normal promotion, so don’t worry about repeating them. However, the effect of the ‘falling rock’ of the earth system is mediocre, not as good as the Hammer of the God of War.

  In the end, Mu You only bought a bottle of each of the two types of potions, and improved his offense and defense a bit, then left the store and continued to explore.

  …

   And just when Muyou's journey was going smoothly.

   On the other side, in Indonesia, in a brightly lit villa.

  A curly-haired black youth watched the message "You are dead" on his mobile phone, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

  His name is Manohar, he is the No. 7 hero in the game just now, and he is currently the first person to climb the tower.

Hal is the leader of a first-class local force in Indonesia, and one of the first to discover this tower-climbing mission. On the day the mission was triggered, he immediately organized his men to conduct a concentrated exploration of the Tower of the Brave, and also cooperated with two other local forces. After reaching a cooperation, they quickly figured out the mechanism of this task after collecting a lot of information from the three parties. At the same time, they also figured out many rules. For example, a businessman will be spawned on the second floor.

It is precisely because he knows this law that Hal has prepared a lot of divinity in advance and is ready to come here for a wave of shopping. According to previous experience, as long as the products here are refreshed well, this place is enough to greatly improve his combat effectiveness in the early stage, so as to have more High chance of impacting layers 30 and above.

  He has followed this process for the last two days of tower climbing, and today is no exception. The only exception is that he met players before arriving at the store today.

  【You have encountered brave man No. 2459, a follower of the earth, HP: 21/51. 】

   "Rookie newcomer?"

   This was Hal's first thought when he saw the other party's number. As a "veteran player" of the Tower of the Brave, he still knows how many people have started the mission so far. The number 2459 is definitely a newcomer who just started the mission today.

   Then he looked at the opponent's life information again, which further confirmed his thoughts: even the simplest first floor can lose 30 points of blood, what is it if you are not a rookie?

  So Hal didn't hesitate at all, and chose to attack casually. He has encountered this kind of cute newcomer a lot when climbing the tower, and he has no resistance at all to a veteran with complete equipment like him.

  It’s the same at this time, after Hal finished the selection, he was already waiting to grab the spoils and go to the store behind, and it turned out…

  【After a hard battle, you gradually lost, and you were killed by the brave No. 2459! 】

  【You are dead, all the upgrades obtained in the tower have been recovered...】

   "???"

   Hal almost thought that he had read it wrong. He read these two sentences more than a dozen times, and he still couldn’t believe it: his majestic first-rate master was actually killed by a rookie with half health?

   This must be a bug!

  …

  【...After a chaotic battle, with the help of the shadow pompom, you killed the mechanical monster (2 stars) and gained 5 points of divinity. 】

  【You found the 'energy box' at the place where the mechanical monster died: before the start of each battle, restore three points of energy. 】

  【You have come to the exit of the ninth floor, a bright red step appears in front of you, do you want to step in? 】

   After passing by the store on the second floor, Mu You went all the way through and successfully passed the ninth floor.

  Starting from the sixth floor, there are two-star monsters among the monsters encountered. The strength is much stronger than the one-star monsters, but the rewards are also much richer. Killing one will give five points of divinity.

After fighting all the way, Mu You's current divinity stock has reached 112 points. In addition, his faith has also increased to 30, and he has been promoted to 'Earth Priest'. God's offense and defense have increased by one point, and his real life has increased by 20 points. Divine spell 'Earth Tremor', in addition to gaining a prop slot.

   And the next level to advance to the 'Earth's Secret Religion', the demand has increased by five times, and the belief value needs to reach 180 to be promoted.

   "Yes." Mu You continued the game.

  【You stepped onto the blood-stained steps and climbed to the tenth floor. 】

  【Congratulations, your Tower of the Brave has reached the 10th floor! 】

  【All heroes can choose a permanent reward to obtain when they first set foot on each tenth floor of the tower (the reward will not disappear because of leaving the tower of the brave). 】

  【Please choose from the following four rewards. 】

  【1, Gain 1 point of divine power. 】

  【2, get 1 point of God Defense. 】

  【3, gain 1 real life. 】

  【4, gain 50 divinity points. 】

   "Rewards that can bring out the tower..."

   Mu You was taken aback.

  Seeing this prompt, he finally knew how the divinity point of the number seven came from. Rewards are obtained every tenth floor, and the opponent has already cleared to the 29th floor, and has received rewards twice. Obviously, the opponent chose 4 both times, bringing 100 divinity points back to reality.

  As long as he doesn't use the 100 divinity outside, it will become his initial capital every time he enters the Tower of the Brave!

Although there are only 100, the effect of 100 in the early stage is very different from that of 100 in the later stage. This kind of initial resources can easily form a snowball effect. One step first, one step at a time. If it is only for climbing towers, this idea is indeed correct. of.

But the problem also lies in this: this tower climbing task is time-limited after all, it is right to choose divinity here to complete the task, but after the task is over, the value of divinity will depreciate rapidly, after all, this thing can be repeated by spawning monsters get something.

  In comparison, the first three items are really limited things, such as the power of gods, which can only be exchanged once in a lifetime from each god, but how many gods do ordinary people have the opportunity to meet in a lifetime? What's more, it costs 1000 lifespan to exchange it once.

  So, for the sake of long-term value, the first three items should be exchanged here.

In the power of gods, defense of gods, and real life, real life is excluded first. Although this thing is worth 10,000 points of life in the astral world, it will be beaten back to its original shape when it leaves the astral world, and it will be beaten by the power of **** It will disappear, and its value will be completely exploded by God's defense.

The remaining power of God and defense of God, Mu You thought about it, and chose the power of God, because all the harmful magic spells he knows so far are directly linked to the value of the power of God. The level of power directly determines the overall offensive ability of the god. On the contrary, it is the defense of the gods. No similar correlation has been found so far. Even if there is, Mu You firmly believes that 'offense is the best defense'.

  【Congratulations, you made a wise choice, your power of God +1, current power of God: 8 points. 】

  【You continue to move forward and enter the central area of ​​the tenth floor. 】

  【A **** three-headed dog (3 stars) intercepts in front of you! It is the general sent by the devil to guard the first ten floors, a nightmare that all brave men can't get around. 】

  【After a fierce battle, you were bitten to death by the **** three-headed dog! 】

  【You are dead, the many upgrades you got in the tower have been recovered...】

   "?"

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, and a three-star monster suddenly appeared. From the description, it seemed to be the bottom boss of the 1-10 floor.

   But even for the boss, such a sudden death was beyond Mu You's expectation.

   Mu You hurriedly went back to the table and fought again.

However, it is still the same, no matter how many times you go back, the result is death, the only difference is the way of death, being bitten to death by a three-headed dog, scratched to death, trampled to death... all kinds of fancy ways of death appear, but there is no one When you can win.

   After going back dozens of times, Mu You also understood that it seems that the absolute gap in hard power cannot be made up by randomness and luck.

  【You woke up outside the Tower of the Brave, with all your organs intact. 】

【Everything that happened in the tower just now is like a nightmare hovering in your mind, but you know that it is not a dream. You just experienced a failure in the Tower of the Brave, and you were defeated by monsters without even seeing the devil. , which makes you feel extremely ashamed and unwilling. 】

  【You remember that there is another chance to enter the tower for trial today, do you want to enter immediately? 】

"no."

   Mu You didn't enter in a hurry, because he found that he still underestimated the difficulty of this tower.

Although he couldn't say that he was lucky that time just now, at least the whole thing went smoothly. Besides, he had more shadow pompoms and titles than others. Even so, he still failed to pass the first boss. There is a problem with his way of passing the level.

That No. 7 was not as powerful as him, but he was able to pass the level to the 29th floor, not because the other party was lucky, but because the other party formed a system between props and magic arts, and the other party had a complete set of ideas for building combat power. It's all the way to improve along the way, there is no linkage between the various methods, and no coordination can be formed, so the gap will naturally increase as it goes on.

  Thinking of this, Mu You manipulated the characters to find the badge merchant he met at the door.

  【The businessman was taken aback when he saw you approaching, and then greeted you in surprise, asking if you have figured it out, and decided to exchange it for other brave badges? The businessman said that the previous promise is still valid, and you can replace all his badges for free! 】

  【You agreed to the merchant's invitation, and then, under the strange gaze of the merchant, you took out a 'Moon Badge' from his container that no one cares about. 】

  【Are you sure you will give up your status as 'Hero of the Earth' and replace it with 'Hero of the Moon'? 】
