1.3 Version Update

The game "Battle Through the Heavens" will launch on April 14th.

Version 1.0 lasted for a month.

Version 1.1 lasted for nearly two months.

Version 1.2 lasted for a full four months.

The first year of the open beta of "Battle Through the Heavens" is drawing to a close. (This is not the "anniversary" calculated based on the 365 days since the server opened, but simply based on the span of years.) Yang Shan remembers that in his previous life, he was a Da Dou Shi when version 1.2 ended.

In this life, I have become the Dou Wang!

To Yang Shan's dismay, despite his cautious approach and constant adjustments to his development strategy based on the changing circumstances, he has made significant progress in this life.

But he eventually had to admit that plans can't keep up with changes.

Two things in particular caught Yang Shan off guard.

Firstly, he unexpectedly obtained the Ghoul Lord Token, only to discover that the other half was in Xiao Xun'er's hands! He couldn't beat her, and he couldn't take it away. Even though Yang Shan was always a tough guy, he could only resort to a softer approach when facing Xiao Xun'er.

The second one is even more absurd.

Among the Ancient Eight Clans, the Xiao Clan still exists!

And it seems to be at its peak!

In his previous life, his understanding of Central Plains, apart from the original story, was actually not that extensive.

Although he was Dou Huang expert in his previous life, in Central Plains, Dou Emperor could only barely make a living.

Even in the Jia Ma Empire, one cannot be said to be completely invincible! After resting, Yang Shan practiced a set of "Ba Duan Jin" with the old men in the neighborhood downstairs.

The whole process was quite slow and only took ten minutes.

Yang Shan felt much better.

The wisdom passed down from our ancestors must have its own secrets.

Yang Shan hummed a little tune as he returned to his residence.

"It's already dark and you haven't come or sat down. The play is over and you haven't even blinked or cried. You wrote down your initial unhappiness on a card, 'Some love can only be given this far.' It really hurts! Damn it! How did things get so off track? It's all Su Yitang's fault!"

Yang Shan drank a glass of water before entering the Game Pod.

Version 1.3 will be the last version of this year, and it will last for a long time.

Therefore, Tianyao will Server Shutdown for two days! There are still 23 hours until the server reopens.

Yang Shan is currently online, so naturally he cannot enter the game.

But don't forget, Tianyao's immersive technology is world-class!

Besides games, Tian Yao Company also provides users with a variety of virtual reality services, which are quite realistic.

For example, right now, Yang Shan is accessing the "Virtual Party Hall service" that he booked yesterday for a full twenty yuan.

Yang Shan entered and immediately arrived at a traditional Chinese courtyard.

The type of party venue can be chosen freely.

Compared to those brightly lit, enclosed places, Yang Shan prefers places with a stronger sense of China charm.

Not far away, by the pond, Little Yao Xi was splashing in the water barefoot.

Beside her, Su Yitang held Yao Xi's hand and smiled:

"Be careful, Little Yao Xi! You said you can't swim!"

Little Yao Xi noticed Yang Shan, and vigorously raised her little arm, waving. "Handsome Uncle, hello, hello!"

Yang Shan waved in response.

However, his attention was entirely focused on Su Yitang.

As a top-tier lecher in the new era who can control his lustful desires, Yang Shan can glance at girls out of the corner of his eye without opening his eyes whenever he wants.

But upon seeing Su Yitang dressed in modern clothes, Yang Shan's brain had already given the command to move his eyes.

But those eyes were like a tracking device, staring at Su Yitang without moving an inch! And she's a JK (high school girl), huh?

"Okay, okay! Give me more!" Su Yitang couldn't possibly miss Yang Shan's gaze.

Actually, she also has more conservative clothes.

But for some reason, Su Yitang suddenly realized that Yang Shan had never seen what she looked like in real life.

She unconsciously changed into clothes that she felt would make her look prettier, according to her own aesthetic sense.

"Although it's still a virtual gathering, it's the first time we've met in real life, so we have to leave a good impression on the boss."

"Yes! It's really just to leave a good impression on the boss!"

But when Su Yitang had chosen her clothes and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself, she was embarrassed.

This outfit won't do! It makes me look too much like a secretary!

So Su Yitang quickly changed into a white shirt and pleated skirt.

This combination is quite classic.

But Su Yitang herself overlooked the fact that neither the cropped black top and bodycon skirt she wore before, nor the classic JK uniform she's wearing now, are outfits that most girls can pull off! Yet Su Yitang can perfectly carry off these two completely different styles of clothing!

All I can say is that Su Yitang is truly blessed with good looks.

Especially with modern clothing, if you reduce the amount of fabric, your figure really can't be hidden no matter what.

Su Yitang was shy, while Yang Shan was admiring.

Even Little Yao Xi stopped playing in the water, her big eyes darting back and forth between Yang Shan and Su Yitang.

The courtyard was so quiet that the only sound was the fish splashing water with their tails.

This atmosphere... Holy crap!

It was shattered by Chao Bafang's furious roar!

Today Chao Bafang was wearing a simple blue sweatshirt and jeans. The curve of his chest muscles seemed to be no less impressive than Su Yitang's! Chao Bafang excitedly came to Su Yitang.

His eyes widened like saucers! "Su Meinu! You're a real beauty! I thought you'd had your features altered on purpose!"

In Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens, you can adjust your facial features, but you can't do that in this "Virtual Party Hall".

What is now presented to Yang Shan and Chao Bafang is Su Yitang's true appearance in reality!

Yang Shan coughed twice deliberately. "Ba Fang! Keep your distance! Getting too close is the Wolfwalk!"

"Exactly! Ba Fang, how old are you? Don't you have any manners at all?"

The 300-pound ball, wearing an XXXXL plaid shirt, walked over and generously extended his hand. "Su Meinu, nice to meet you for the first time!"

Su Yitang subconsciously took two steps back.

Zhu Tianpeng asked in surprise, "No way, we're so familiar with each other, and your social anxiety is acting up again?"

Su Yitang said timidly:

"No, Tian Peng, could you wipe your drool?"

Zhu Tianpeng: "."

Little Yao Xi was laughing so hard she almost choked, "Uncle Zhu looks like a senile fool when he's drooling."

Zhu Tianpeng: "."

It is said that children speak without restraint, and when Little Yao Xi said this, Yang Shan, Su Yitang, and Chao Bafang all couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The world was only achieved when Zhu Tianpeng was injured.

Joking aside, Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng are actually quite shrewd.

Su Yitang is a rose that cannot be touched!

The pretty girl kept her head down, but would occasionally glance at Yang Shan.

Although she was dressed simply today, she had quite a few subtle tricks up her sleeve, clearly not trying to scheme against them.

Who knows, I might really become a secretary someday! With a wave of his hand, Yang Shan's hand was followed by a pile of fruit and snacks on the stone table in the courtyard.

"The expansion pack is about to be released, let's watch it while we eat."

A large screen appeared on the north side of the courtyard, displaying the time.

In ten minutes, the new expansion will premiere globally! The screen begins to show the rise of Tian Yao Company.

The bottom left corner shows the current number of viewers for the premiere:

3352577200 There are now seven billion people in the world, and nearly half of them are watching live streams!

This shows just how popular "Battle Through the Heavens" is worldwide!

Globally, there isn't a single game that can rival "Battle Through the Heavens".

Other game companies have to rely on providing servers and operating services to Tian Yao Company to survive!

As for those whose partners didn't watch the live stream, it's not that they didn't want to watch.

It's not that we don't have time! The earth is still spinning, and the world is still developing.

If everyone is watching the live stream, doesn't that mean the human world has come to a standstill?

The virtual world has replaced human daily entertainment.

But that's just everyday entertainment! As human beings, we still need to eat, get a certain amount of deep sleep, and work.

Especially at work.

Without accumulating enough wealth, even everyday entertainment becomes a luxury.

There are many "enjoyments" in "Battle Through the Heavens" that are very inexpensive.

However, housing prices remain high, and to achieve a high level of sensory immersion, one still needs to spend a significant amount of money to purchase Game Pod.

Decades ago, when Tian Yao Company officially made its name, its services were actually priced very high.

But what truly made Tian Yao Company a giant in the technology industry was what happened twenty years ago.

Tian Yao Company invested all the money it had made from "harvesting" customers over the past few decades into scientific research, thus establishing its leading position in immersive technology globally, Tian Yao Company reduced all its paid services to 10% of the original price!

Subsequent new services have also maintained extremely low prices.

Immersive technology solves the entertainment needs of ordinary people, but it cannot solve the real-world survival problems they face.

For ordinary people, after meeting their daily needs, there is really not much money left for "entertainment" from their wages.

It was this move by Tian Yao Company that drew the attention of players worldwide.

Even though Tian Yao Company released several terrible games twenty years ago, there were still plenty of players willing to play them! And twenty years of accumulation have resulted in the "Battle Through the Heavens" we see today.

After the video of "Tian Yao Company's Rise to Power" finished playing, a "middle-aged man" who looked rather handsome appeared on the screen.

He was dressed in a suit and tie, and his hair was meticulously styled.

He might have put on some makeup, but it couldn't hide his dark circles.

"Hello players from all over the world, I am Xiao Yan, the chief developer and game planner of Tian Yao Company! Version 1.2 of ' Battle Through the Heavens ' has successfully concluded!"

"The reason I'm here is because I want to tell all of you players something."

"The Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System has passed the initial review!"

Zhu Tianpeng was so excited that he stood up immediately. He pressed the virtual button to turn on the live stream comments.

"Tian Yao Company!"

"Okay, okay!"

"My great eagle is already itching for a fight!"

"I'll give you a number: one year! I'll go into the Fireworks Pavilion and not come out for a year!"

"Dear game planner, I will never criticize you on the forum again!"

"To all employees of Tian Yao Company, including the elderly cleaning staff, I solemnly wish you and your families happiness and good health! I hope you all live to be a hundred years old."

May Xiao Yan live forever!

May Xiao Yan live forever!

May Xiao Yan live forever!

I don't know who started this trend, but the comments section was Pure One Suit with messages like "May Xiao Yan live forever!"

Xiao Yan continued his impassioned speech:

"Players, your hope has arrived!"

"Have you found a female NPC in Battle Through the Heavens that you like? Start raising her affection level now! Raise it! Raise it, mmm!"

Tianyao's chief planner Xiao Yan could finish speaking, another "middle-aged or elderly person" appeared on the screen.

Ma Ru Long is the current president of Tian Yao Company.

"I was only a few seconds late and you're causing trouble for me? Get out! Get out!"

Ma Ru Long disregarded his composure as a CEO and kicked Xiao Yan out of the screen. "Get a few people to restrain him! He dares to talk nonsense about something that's not even close to being settled yet."

Then, Ma Ru Long bowed repeatedly to the camera:

"Dear players, I apologize for the traffic jam. To avoid delaying you, I, Ma Ru Long, on behalf of the entire Tian Yao Company, thank you for your continued support. The first expansion pack for version 1.3 is now presented to you!"

The scene dimmed, but Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng were still filled with excitement.

Chao Bafang: "Yao Ye! Yao Ye! Favorability!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Yao Yue! Yao Yue! Favorability!"

Su Yitang couldn't hold back any longer. "Tian Peng, you beast! How old is Yao Yue? Even if that thing is real, you would never touch Yao Yue!"

Zhu Tianpeng suddenly realized. "That's true, but it doesn't matter, I've wooed a lot of NPCs!"

Su Yitang: "."

Yang Shan watched the three of them arguing, speechless, and casually stuffed a segment of orange into Little Yao Xi's mouth.

If the situation in this life is the same as in the previous life, then the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System definitely won't be implemented this year!

Only the chief planner, Xiao Yan, couldn't keep anything to himself; he had to tell everyone the moment there was a little good news.

Just then, the previously dark screen began to glow.

The first shot is of Xiao Yi Xian.

Her white dress was covered in dust, and her steps were unsteady.

Above the majestic mountain gate ahead, two characters are written:

Poison Sect!

Then the scene shifts to an endless beach where Hai Bodong roars as three ice dragons, each over ten feet long, howl wildly.

"Finally, the seal has been broken!"

The third scene shows the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Azure wings floated in the air, accompanied by Yun Yun.

Opposite her, a Lion-Race Magical Beast with a single horn roared, its purple wings unleashing flames that burned the green plants on the ground to ashes.

The purple flames surged, gradually filling the entire screen.

Then, the purple flame began to shake violently, and its color gradually changed from purple to cyan!

The blue flames shrank slightly, forming a strange blue lotus.

The camera gradually zoomed out, revealing the alluring and aloof Medusa Queen just two zhang away, gazing at the lotus-like flame and sighing softly, "The Serpent-People tribe cannot perish under my rule! The future of the Serpent-People tribe..."

Medusa Queen's expression gradually hardened. She closed her eyes and charged headlong into the blue flames.

At the Misty Cloud Sect, tens of thousands of disciples are practicing sword Dou Technique together in the martial arts training Martial Arts Practice Square.

Yun Shan Sky Tread, his voice calm and composed. "From this day forward, the Jia Ma Empire will respect my Misty Cloud Sect! This sect will lead the Misty Cloud Sect back to its peak!"

At the Jia Nan Academy, Great Elder Su Qian, looking down at the many Inner Courtyard students, spread his hands and announced, "The Inner Courtyard Strong Ranking Competition shall now begin!"

The scene then moves past Su Qian and towards the Heavenly Flame Training Tower in the background.

Passing through the thick walls of Tana, the gaze travels downwards.

At the base of this tower, the fiery red lava stretches as far as the eye can see.

Sudden.

The magma began to churn.

A translucent fire serpent, thirty feet long, slowly rose from the lava.

The fire snake flicked its tongue, its eyes seemingly fixed on the screen, or perhaps on the prey behind it!
