Mu You was afraid that the opponent would lose hope and stop struggling.
Fortunately, this time he successfully refreshed player number one, and the number of levels cleared by player one suddenly jumped to 80!
Mu You remembered that just yesterday afternoon, he was only at fifty levels. It seemed that the other party had a burst of luck yesterday, gaining three times the level rewards, which reinvigorated them and brought them back to challenge him, full of confidence.
For this easy target, Mu You carefully refreshed the "Ultimate Kill" for him again as an acknowledgment of his improved strength.
He then continued on his way with his "Eye of the Moon Goddess."
Acquiring the Eye of the Moon Goddess, Mu You felt a great load off his mind; this item was a guarantee of wealth, essential for elevating faith to the 13-star level, and even more important than the Wind God Boots.
On the way, Mu You began to refresh players frantically.
Thanks to the gradually perfected strategy, which floor to act on to have a higher chance of encountering players had been clearly discovered by the collective wisdom of the players.
At this moment, Mu You, following the strategy, was refreshing madly at all possible player encounter spots, looking for players with high wind attributes.
Because such players were likely to carry the Wind God Boots purchased from the store, and with the Pocket Watch in possession, he could certainly burst it out if anyone had this Divine Artifact on them.
This method of acquiring the Wind God Boots was much more likely than waiting for the shop’s passive refresh at the 90th level.
The result proved that his luck was indeed good; after encountering more than twenty wind-attribute players along the way, he finally burst out the Wind God Boots at the 73rd level!
The moment he acquired the Wind God Boots, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief again.
Cursed Doll + Wind God Boots, the probability of breaking through the Demon King had increased again. Now, he just needed to ensure to reach 13 stars before the hundredth floor.
Considering the current economic situation, it was very hopeful!
Next, Mu You simply gave up on upgrading all Divine Arts and used all Divinity for advancement.
Finally, at the 94th level, Mu You mercilessly killed an accidental player who had strayed there, directly plundering one-tenth of their faith.
This player was already at the 11-star level, and one-tenth of the faith was not a small amount. With this huge boost in faith, Mu You finally broke through to the 13-star level.
Thus, he met all the prerequisites to defeat the Demon King for the first time, and he had the unexpected delight of the ’Cursed Doll.’
Mu You put down his phone and calmed down for a moment. This opportunity was precious; he couldn’t afford to mess it up.
After going over all the details of the battle with the Demon King in his mind, he continued on his way, easily passed the last few levels, and once again stood before the Demon King.
[You stepped onto the 100th floor on your ninth attempt!]
[The Fairy Princess appears before you, looking at you with some surprise. Now, you seem to have the strength to battle the Demon King...]
[The Fairy Princess gives you a meaningful look and bestows a temporary bless "Lucky Star" on you before you head to battle the Demon King: doubling your luck for today!]
In the final moment, the Fairy Lady also sent a nice blessing.
Mu You accepted it calmly and continued to control his character’s progress.
[You continue forward, arriving at the central area of the tower’s top.]
[Accompanied by the Demon King’s roar, an indescribable sense of oppression envelops you.]
[The Seven Sins Demon King (13 stars) intercepts you, seeing all the Divine Artifacts hanging on you, a Greed arises within him.]
[The Demon King committed the Sin of Greed; your ’Cursed Doll’ was forcibly seized by him.]
[Congratulations, the Cursed Doll has lost interest in you because it has found a new prey.]
[The Cursed Doll automatically equipped itself onto the Demon King. Current items: Cursed Doll, Modesty Rule.]
The Demon King really wanted to grab the items right from the start!
Mu You readily let the Cursed Doll go to him,
but to his surprise, the Demon King already had another item on him.
[Modesty Rule: A crucifix necklace from the Fallen Missionary, always exuding the Missionary’s ramblings, reminding the wearer of the virtue of modesty. When equipped, your star level is reduced by one. Once acquired, it automatically equips, and cannot be taken off voluntarily; even if you die and re-enter the tower, it will remain in your item bar until another hero bursts it out and lifts the curse.]
Modesty Rule, directly reducing by one star, obviously another curse item targeted at the Demon King, makes the Demon King drop from 13 stars to 12 stars, significantly lowering the Sin of Arrogance’s exemption difficulty, and after the downgrade, all the Demon King’s ability values will also slightly decrease.
This item wasn’t there when Mu You came up yesterday; it seems that today, another player brought it up.
Mu You was surprised that there were other players also making efforts to contain the Demon King, aiming to clear the levels ahead of time.
