Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

[Golden Skill Stone Activated]

[Effect 1: The range of a deliberate punch is reduced by 30%, but the damage is increased by 30%.]

[Effect 2: Deliberate Punch can now immobilize enemies within its attack range, preventing them from escaping using any movement ability.]

[Effect 3: Deliberate Punch deals 10 times more damage to buildings, siege units, vehicles, and industrial/modified creations.]

"Holy crap..." Liu Nian looked at Effect 3.

Damage increased 10 times?

Are you sure you didn't misread it? It's not two times, not three times, not five times, it's ten times?!

That's enough to smash a city wall with one punch, right?

The upcoming upgrade war will definitely involve sieges and defenses, and species like goblins and ratmen have their own creations, so the effects must be quite significant!

Moreover, it is extremely effective against goblins, a species that heavily relies on vehicles.

Although the mechanism of effect two is also good, effect three has a wider range of application prospects.

Just as he was basking in the joy of his improved skills, a series of slightly hurried footsteps approached from afar.

Turning his head, he saw that the president, Wu Zhan, was grinning and running towards him in two strides.

Liu Nian wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Wu Zhan's tall figure looked a little wobbly when he ran.

"Little Nian!" Wu Zhan shouted loudly. He ran up to Liu Nian and, without any ceremony, sat down on the rock next to him with a solid "butt squat".

Liu Nian subtly shifted his body to the side: "What is it?"

"Great news!" Wu Zhan slapped his thigh excitedly, eager to begin his story. "Today we organized a team to wipe out that mushroom tribe in the southwest, and the process went fairly smoothly. Towards the end, deep within their settlement, we discovered a particularly ancient altar! It was covered in glowing moss; it looked quite extraordinary!"

He paused deliberately, keeping Liu Nian in suspense, and only continued after seeing Liu Nian's attentive expression: "Hey, guess what? That altar was actually a 'Blessing Altar'! As long as you stand on it and sincerely 'worship' it, it's like receiving a divine initiation, instantly leveling you up two levels! It's amazing!"

"A direct promotion of two levels?" Liu Nian was genuinely surprised this time, his eyes widening slightly. "Such a good thing exists? Without any cost?"

"Of course it's true! A few brothers tried it on the spot, and with a flash of golden light, their levels skyrocketed. It can't be faked!" Wu Zhan patted his chest to assure them, then changed the subject, lowering his voice to sound even more mysterious, "However, that's not the most crucial point. Our teammate A-Du, he's observant, and he discovered that besides the 'Worship' option, the altar also has a hidden 'Sacrifice' function!"

"Ah Du?" Liu Nian paused for a moment before realizing he was referring to Du Zewei.

Wu Zhan seems to have a habit of not calling people by their full names properly, always preferring to use abbreviations or nicknames.

Yun Xiangrong is called "Ayun", Zhao Xinchun is called "Achun", Du Zewei is called "Adu", Yin Qianyu is called "Xiaoyin", the blacksmith is called "Lao Chen", and there are also "Gangzi", "Xiaowan"... Now it's my turn, and I've become "Xiaonian".

Liu Nian shook his head inwardly. It was only because there were few people in the guild now that everyone knew each other well that calling each other that sounded so friendly.

If the guild grows larger in the future, with hundreds or even thousands of members, and Wu Zhan is giving tense commands in a dungeon, he might just say, "Xiao Liu, retreat!"

Several players with the surname Liu below would probably be taken aback. If they all retreated, the scene would become chaotic.

However, he was too lazy to remind him. Wu Zhan was the president, so he was happy as long as he was happy. Besides, this kind of address did bring them closer to each other to some extent.

"Sacrifice? What are you sacrificing?" Liu Nian asked.

"Unique BOSS drops!" Wu Zhan explained, "Each time a suitable BOSS drop is placed into the altar, the sacrifice will increase the level by one additional level on top of the two levels of worship!"

"How many kinds can be sacrificed?"

"The limit is eight!" Wu Zhan's eyes lit up. "That means if we can collect eight different unique BOSS drops that meet the requirements, offer them as sacrifices, and then worship them, theoretically we can instantly level up ten levels! Ten levels, Xiao Nian! That saves so much time grinding and leveling!"

"That's really quite good!" Liu Nian couldn't help but be moved.

In this crucial phase where every second counts in boosting strength and preparing for the upgrade battle, an altar that can provide massive upgrade rewards is of immeasurable value.

"Right!" Wu Zhan shook his head smugly. "So after we found out, no one rushed to use up their worship attempts, since each person can only worship once. We're working on a strategy now, and I'll send it to you as soon as we've figured it out!"

"Does this work better when the level is higher?" Liu Nian asked.

"No seats available!" Wu Zhan exclaimed excitedly. "The best-case scenario is that we can use it when we reach level 90, directly boosting us to level 100! But we might not be able to reach level 90 in half a month. Anyway, we'll have to use it before the upgrade battle, no matter what level we are then!"

Liu Nian nodded. He glanced at Wu Zhan's level, which had reached level 32, while he himself was currently level 28.

Not long ago, Wu Zhan's level was slightly lower than mine, but now he has surpassed me.

This is partly due to Wu Zhan himself wearing equipment that increases experience gain efficiency, but more importantly, it's due to the effectiveness of high-level players "leveling up" for him.

The monsters on the second underground level are generally level 45 or higher. According to the team experience distribution rules of Cyber ​​Hell, as long as you kill a monster that is at least 10 levels lower than your own level, you will still gain experience points.

Although the experience gained will be significantly reduced, for guild players below level 30, being led by a high-level player like Du Zewei (level 54) to fight monsters above level 45 will still provide a substantial experience bonus for lower-level teammates, even with the experience reduction.

Therefore, within the guild's organized and planned "higher-level players helping lower-level players" model, the lower-level players leveled up much faster. Following this trend, and with the addition of this newly discovered mushroom altar, everyone's leveling will increase rapidly.

Of course, the pinnacle of leveling efficiency still belongs to mages, especially powerful area-of-effect damage mages.

If the First Thunder Cloud Demon were to make its move in an area teeming with monsters, its speed of clearing the field and the resulting team experience gains would be unparalleled by other classes.

After all, the title of the number one lightning mage is not just for show; when it comes to leveling up and boosting, no one is faster than a mage.

However, Yun Xiangrong, Jiang Yi, Lin Ying, and Yin Qianyu had all gone to do missions.

"Oh, right, there's something else." Wu Zhan added as if suddenly remembering something, "Old Chen got two more pairs of legendary boots, and I had A-Yun and Xiao Jiang each take a pair. Didn't you say you took down a convoy? I'm having them go scout it out with you tomorrow, so they can keep each other company. With the new boots, they'll be more mobile, making it easier for them to provide support or retreat."

After a moment's thought, Liu Nian nodded in agreement: "Okay."
