Black-Corner Region Grand Stage-If You've Got the Guts, Come On!

Yang Shan left the Game Pod and immediately went to the safe to retrieve his secret notebook.

The above clearly records that the Version 2.1 of the expansion pack mainly provides information about the chaotic war between the Four Great Empires and the Serpent-People tribe, making it a five-way conflict!

But now, things have changed!

Everything has changed! In his previous life, Xiao Yan, the chief designer of Tian Yao Company, once revealed in an interview that when Battle Through the Heavens, the version was only version 1.3.

While there are detailed plans for subsequent versions, adjustments will be made based on the overall progress of players in previous versions.

Xiao Yan once admitted that many versions of the content differed greatly from the original plan. He then praised the players of Battle Through the Heavens for being really amazing, saying that they had to work overtime like crazy to create more game content, and that they were almost bald from exhaustion.

Yang Shan was prepared for the gradual divergence between memory and reality.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Yang Shan recalled how much he had done since the server opened, enough to influence Tian Yao Company to change and optimize the version content.

The first thing to rule out is any Global Announcement.

Because these Global Announcement are concentrated on him alone, they have little to do with other players.

Secondly, we can rule out the possibility of Ya Fei and Yun Yun Sealed Heart Locked Love.

While their removal will affect the behavior of many players, it won't have a significant impact on the game's development.

Yang Shan wrote four lines in his notebook.

Elixirs, the Black Alliance, the Serpent-People tribe, and the Misty Cloud Sect!

Yang Shan's output in terms of pills has always been ahead of his previous life. The early appearance of Attribute Pill and Experience Pill means that many players will use these pills to accelerate their development.

As your strength increases, you'll naturally acquire game items more quickly.

Top Player can give unused items to elite or first-class players.

Top-tier and first-tier players might not need it, but second-tier and mainstream players will always find it useful.

This cycle means that players at every level can acquire stronger game items faster because they obtain the elixirs earlier.

Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant effects; the butterfly effect begins here! From the Black Alliance's siege of Han Feng, to the Serpent-People tribe's blocking of Yun Shan, and finally to the Misty Cloud Sect's powerful defeat of Yun Shan.

In the major events that have occurred in the last one or two versions, Yang Shan can almost be considered the absolute protagonist among players!

Without Yang Shan, the timelines of these three major storylines would have been significantly longer.

Correspondingly, player-versus-player combat will become more frequent.

Fighting will earn you Contribution Points, but it will also cause you to drop in level and lose items.

Yang Shan's forceful move, while bringing him immense wealth, also forced the players from the relevant factions to end their conflict prematurely.

Intense competition is more rewarding for skilled players, but for ordinary players, especially before they have enough survival skills, a steady and gradual development is faster.

Because Yang Shan ended the storyline prematurely, many players were able to develop peacefully within their respective factions without paying a heavy price.

Yang Shan also looked at the overall player data statistics for version 2.0 provided by Tianyao Official.

There are six Dou Emperor players.

Players who dominate the Dou Wang account for 5%.

Players with Seven-Star Dou Ling or higher account for 60%.

Each item is more than in the previous life.

Fortunately, to be honest, even if all the versions change in the future, Yang Shan feels that with his current resources and various unfulfilled opportunities, he can still succeed.

In the newly released version of Central Plains, Yang Shan is still confident that he can stay far ahead of other Top Player.

As for his status after Central Plains, he is a Soul General of the Soul Hall, and he is very likely to become the Young Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

When it comes to currying favor with others, he is Xiao Xun'er's only designated junior!

The only designated friend of the future Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon!

The one and only beloved of Yun Yun, the future Flower Sect Leader! The biggest creditor of Medusa Queen, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python! Who does he need to fear?

Yang Shan turned the notebook to a blank page.

Since the version content has changed, the original plan also needs to be changed.

However, making a plan will be quite difficult.

Yang Shan had no way to use his memories from his previous life as a reference.

We can only use the information we have at this stage as a reference.

Yang Shan also checked the update details of Version 2.1 released by Tianyao Official.

Aside from the continuous improvement of various functions and some adjustments to combat, the most noteworthy aspect for players is the "Black-Corner Region" that occupies most of the expansion's content.

First, in this version, all players have one opportunity for one-way teleportation.

After using the function, players will be randomly teleported to any city area within the Black-Corner Region.

At the same time, the penalty reduction for Faction Blood War has been removed from the Black-Corner Region map.

In the Faction Blood War, if a player dies, three stars will be deducted immediately, just like the original rules of Black-Corner Region, and the drop rate of items will be greatly increased.

The drop rate of items in the Black-Corner Region will also increase to some extent.

Knowing the nature of game designers well and being extremely sensitive to game rules, Yang Shan almost immediately figured out what Tian Yao Company was up to in section 2.1.

Lower-level players can continue to develop steadily in the Four Great Empires.

It's safe to say that eight out of ten top-tier players will choose to head to Black-Corner Region as soon as possible in the new version to try their luck.

After all, some players had already gotten their hands on the prize in Black-Corner Region in previous versions.

There's absolutely no need to worry about output; you can easily break through to the Dou Zong in the Black-Corner Region! If you're unlucky and die one after another, causing your level to plummet, then just return to the Four Great Empires to rebuild your strength before heading back.

Meanwhile, mainstream players who were originally developing steadily in the Four Great Empires can also choose to venture into the Black-Corner Region after reaching the level of Dou Wang.

In other words, in this version, the stable development channels provided by Tian Yao Company to players only end at the Dou Wang stage.

If you want to maintain rapid development after becoming Dou Wang, you can only try your luck in the Black-Corner Region! As for someone like Yang Shan, who can switch back and forth between the Black-Corner Region, the Serpent-People tribe, and the Jia Ma Empire, it's simply impossible for other players to do that.

Especially in the Black-Corner Region, there are no Space Wormhole, and it would take ten to fifteen days just to travel there.

The "commuting time" is longer than the leveling time, so what's the point of developing anything? Just treat it as a trip.

In the expansion pack, the various factions in Black-Corner Region are seen fighting fiercely at the negotiating table, clearly indicating that this version of Black-Corner Region will descend into an astonishingly chaotic state.

Turbulent times produce heroes.

Yang Shan couldn't help but feel a little excited while writing the plan.

Most of these challenges were previously known.

This version is about to become an unknown challenge, and the fighting spirit within Yang Shan is starting to stir.

Regarding the plan, Yang Shan Shan's first key point was Black Moon Ridge.

Now that the focus of Version 2.1 has shifted to Black-Corner Region, the matter of Black Moon Ridge needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

In addition, Yang Shan noticed a key piece of information: due to the version's storyline, the potential of the high-ranking members and key NPCs of various forces in the Black-Corner Region will be improved to varying degrees.

As long as players of that faction occupy more resource points and complete more tasks, the strength of the faction's NPCs will increase rapidly! This made Yang Shan's eyes light up! Accelerated increase, right? Good, good! Yang Shan immediately turned to a new page and began to write quickly! Noon on July 2nd.

Yang Shan shouted from inside the Game Pod at the perfect moment:

"Battle Through the Heavens, activate!"

Upon entering the game, Yang Shan found himself in Space Wormhole leading from the border of the Jia Ma Empire to the Black-Corner Region.

Although the system gave me a one-way teleportation opportunity, it's better to save it.

In case something happens and he has to rush back to the Black-Corner Region immediately, but he can't get to the Space Wormhole in a short time, then this one-way teleportation can save a lot of time.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng went online almost simultaneously.

Because they needed to prepare for the new version, the three of them had already taken care of all the matters concerning the Jia Ma Empire before the previous version's servers were shut down.

Before leaving, Yun Yun begged Yang Shan to pick out some useful items from the treasure vault.

But there really aren't many things we can use anymore.

So Yang Shan casually said, "Anyway, you owe me so much, I'll pay you back slowly in the future."

As for Ya Fei, Yang Shan's farewell was even more direct. "I'll come back to see you, Guan Bao!"

Ya Fei gave Yang Shan a "smack" on the lips; they were so soft, like jelly!

As for Nalan Yanran, although Nalan Yanran didn't mean it, she did help Yang Shan a lot.

A person should have a conscience!

So before leaving, Yang Shan fought with Nalan Yanran.

He fed Nalan Yanran five hundred moves before finally defeating her. He then gave Nalan Yanran a Emperor Extreme Pill to encourage her to keep going.

Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng also promised Yao Ye and Yao Yue that they would help Yao Ye seize power once they returned from their training! Yang Shan: "The plan has changed. I didn't expect Tianyao Version 2.1 to be so big. Let's talk while we're on our way."

Upon arriving in the Black-Corner Region, the three split into two groups: Yang Shan went to Black Seal City, while Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng went to Black City, where the Black Emperor Sect was located.

When passing through the wilderness, Yang Shan changed into his "Cheng E Set" and entered Black Seal City in a very low-key manner.

On the streets of Black Seal City, Yang Shan saw many players emerge from the white light.

Moreover, their levels are all quite high, and the proportion of players who are considered "Dou Wang the game is astonishing.

Needless to say, these players all used one-way teleportation to be randomly teleported to Black Seal City.

Black Seal City is the headquarters of the Bloodshed Hall. Being close to the source, these players are now valuable "resources"! Yang Shan hurried to the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Xie was having tea with Su Mei.

That's really strange, what kind of tea can make you drunk?

If she wasn't drunk, why was Su Mei's face so red?

The enchanting atmosphere was broken by a maid who rushed over:

"Lord Luo, Sect Master, Mister E is back!"

Luo Xie and Su Mei both stood up immediately. Luo Xie urged, "Quickly invite them in! No, I'll go myself."

"No need, coming back to this place is just like coming home."

Yang Shan entered the hospital with his hands behind his back, his gaze shifting back and forth between Luo Xie and Su Mei.

Luo Xie has successfully broken through to the Dou Zong, and Su Mei's cultivation has reached the Seven Star Dou Huang.

Yang Shan joked, "Brother Luo Xie, should I start preparing some money for the wedding gift in a few days?"

Luo Xie stammered, while Su Mei answered generously:

"We have to thank Mister E for making this happen. You are the matchmaker for me and Brother Luo. Brother Luo and I were worried that, given Mister E. Mister E's standards and status, the gift we would give him would probably drain our savings!"

Before Yang Shan could reply, the door behind him slammed open.

A spirited, Hun Dan roars:

"Cheng E, come and fight Young Master!"

Yang Shan glanced at the Hun Dan panel.

[Hun Dan] (Golden Word Seal)

Rank: One-Star Dou Zong

Attribute: Blood; Affiliation: Soul Clan; Special: Seventh-Rank Dou Di Bloodline

Good heavens! I still remember when Luo Xie was Seven Star Dou Huang, that Hun Dan was still Dou Wang.

Now Luo Xie has Dou Zong, and Hun Dan has also reached the Dou Zong!

This speed is ridiculously fast.

The Dou Di Bloodline is indeed awesome! Hun Dan quickly approached, his blood energy surging wildly, clearly intending to engage Yang Shan in a fierce battle.

But Yang Shan stood still, motionless, as if the Hun Dan were air.

The Hun Dan's hand finally stopped three inches in front of Yang Shan, and did not go any further.

Hun Dan: "Why aren't you making a move? Scared?"

Yang Shan: "Stop fooling around. With that kind of strength, why don't you ask Sect Leader Su Mei to arrange eighteen maids for you!"

The Hun Dan scoffed, "What a joke! Do you think I'm the Young Master person who's obsessed with beautiful women?"

Actually, that Hun Dan used "Smashing Bird Severing Thoughts" just yesterday, and his crotch is still a bit sore and numb.

In his current state, going to fight eighteen maids is a joke, isn't it? Of course, out of politeness, that Hun Dan would never say that!

Hun Dan coughed twice, and a maid quickly brought over two chairs.

After Hun Dan and Yang Shan sat down, Hun Dan said, "I knew you wouldn't come here without a reason. So, what brings you back this time?"

Yang Shan: "Yin Gu Lao, have you taken care of him?"

Although the Bloodshed Hall is now out in the open, Luo Xie and Hun Dan still cannot rashly show their faces.

Therefore, Yang Shan instructed Hun Dan and Luo Xie to capture Su Mei and Yin Gu Lao as soon as possible, and to further expand the power of the Bloodshed Hall through Rakshasa Gate and Heavenly Yin Sect.

Luo Xie did a great job; it seems he really won Su Mei over!

Hun Dan:

"That Yin Gu Lao, after Luo Xie broke through to the Dou Zong, he took the initiative to offer to join the Bloodshed Hall. However, to be on the safe side, Luo Xie promised him that as long as he did his job well, he would receive the Emperor Extreme Pill and the Break Sect Pill!"

Yang Shan slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"You Hun Dan of a bitch, are you just here to steal my pills?"

That Hun Dan slapped the table so hard it shattered.

He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, acting as if no one could do it, Hun Dan said:

"We're brothers, what's wrong with me asking you for some pills?"

Yang Shan: "Have some shame! You're where you are today only because of my help. You dare to yell at me here? Believe me or not, I'll go back to the Ghost Wither Branch Hall! I, Cheng E, have both ability and potential. I can still make a living in the Soul Hall without you. If you're not happy, let's go our separate ways and see who suffers!"

Hun Dan, so embarrassing:

"Uh, bro, I was wrong."

Yang Shan straightened his collar and sat down again:

"Getting back to business, now that you've dealt with Yin Gu Lao, things will be much easier. Our main plan right now is to recruit talented individuals. It seems things are starting to get turbulent in the Black-Corner Region again, so we need to prepare in advance!"

Looking beyond the surface, Yang Shan's purpose in the Bloodshed Hall was singular: to use Cheng E's identity to aggressively recruit players and, with a sufficient number of players, help Hun Dan and Luo Xie accelerate their strength improvement.

Looking at the long term, the stronger Hun Dan is, the sooner he can return to the Soul Hall, making it easier for Yang Shan to take advantage of his strength.

To put it simply...

If Hun Dan and Luo Xie improve their strength quickly, Yang Shan can consider using them to kill the two Seventh-Order Thousand Beast King of Black Moon Ridge when necessary! Then, together with Su Yitang who has returned from Central Plains, they can raise the two King of Beasts.

They have a great potential in this Black-Corner Region!
