The Soul Hall's First Player Begins Teaching!
Secretary Lin provided a detailed explanation of the pricing rules for the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System to all players.
The buildings in various cities within the game will be adjusted, but these buildings will still retain the background of the NPC factions.
For example, in the Gama Holy City, there are a total of twelve Fireworks Pavilion. It is possible that seven of them are owned by the Mittel Family and three by the Nalan Family.
Simply put, the Fireworks Pavilion won't just exist between players like the "Auction House"; it will remain an integral part of the diverse world of the Dou Qi Continent.
These buildings might even trigger some plot points! And there will definitely be a sign with the words "Jade Tree" or "Shy Flower" at the entrance of the Fireworks Pavilion.
Female players, please go to "Jade Tree Brothel"; male players, please go to "Shy Flower Brothel".
To make a purchase Fireworks Pavilion, you not only have to pay 588 RMB, but you also have to use the Spirit Stone you would have spent inside the Fireworks Pavilion!
These two are linked for settlement.
"Jade Tree Brothel and Shy Flower Brothel were specially set up by our Tian Yao Company after long discussions with the top psychology research team in China. Their main purpose is to relieve the pressure on our shareholders in real life, but in order to prevent them from becoming too addicted, the price is relatively high!"
"If our shareholders visit too frequently, there will be an additional charge!"
Secretary Lin smiled and said, "As for the other tiers of pricing, we'll leave that to our chief planner, Mr. Xiao Yan, to explain in detail."
Xiao Yan cleared his throat. "Actually, there's no need to go into details. Players, if your affinity with an NPC of the opposite sex reaches 90 points, and the other party is willing, then the system usage fee for a single transaction is 28 yuan. 70 points is 58 yuan. As for the 88 yuan..."
At this point, Xiao Yan smiled meaningfully:
"You shareholders have been in the game for almost ten years, how could you not know? Many of you must have had some indescribable, ambiguous encounters?"
"For example, if you are powerful enough, some high-ranking members of NPC factions may assign you maids to take care of your daily life."
"Or, in a dangerous forest, you might encounter an NPC being chased by a monster, and by helping them out, you might win their heart at first sight, increasing their favorability by thirty or forty points at once."
"The favorability rating is less than 70 points, but due to various circumstances, NPCs voluntarily engage in some happy moments with players, only to have those moments end without any resolution. Isn't that a real Sha Feng? At Tian Yao Company, our mission is to serve our players well! Therefore, in light of the above situation, we have set the price tier at 88 yuan!"
After hearing the introduction to the Guan-Bao System's gear levels, Zhu Tianpeng was so distressed that he banged his head on the ground! Chao Bafang was dumbfounded. "Lao Zhu, what are you doing?"
Zhu Tianpeng: "Ba Fang, I'm suffering so much."
Chao Bafang: "Damn it, call me Brother Chao!"
Zhu Tianpeng's eyes were brimming with tears. "Brother Chao, do you know, in the version before last, Mitier Tengshan arranged two beautiful maids for me to win me over! But I knew it wouldn't work out, so I pretended to be a saint and refused them outright. Those two maids were so beautiful, I should have kept them if I had known. I've lost out so much! I've lost out so much!"
"Oh no, my heart is hurting, I can't breathe!"
Hearing Zhu Tianpeng say this, Yang Shan suddenly remembered that Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Gate Sect, had also wanted to arrange beautiful concubines for him. Not only would she arrange four at once, but he could also gain extra experience points through dual cultivation! Yang Shan seriously suspected that when the new version was released, any player would have the opportunity to trigger some special romantic encounters.
The experiences of "listening to music in a brothel" and "meeting by chance" are naturally completely different! In his previous life, he was only a first-rate player, and his perspective was not high enough. He was so immersed in it that he naturally couldn't see these things clearly.
Looking at Tian Yao Company now, it truly deserves to be called the world's number one, and the player experience is absolutely top-notch! Tian Yao Company has really mastered the game! On the screen, Xiao Yan made a gesture of pressing his hands down again. "Fellow players, please calm down. I must remind you all! Our company has spent several years and trillions of dollars developing the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System, which aims to bring more positive feedback to the whole society and enrich the leisure life of the general public!"
"We will never allow any criminals to use our games for illegal transactions!"
At this point, Xiao Yan's facial expression control seemed to falter; his smile resembled that of a victorious warrior returning from a triumphant battle, "If players wish to use the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System, they must submit a usage application to our company! The application must meet one of the following two conditions!"
"First, the two are legally married and have obtained a marriage certificate!"
"Secondly, both parties need to provide relevant materials confirming their relationship, and the relationship must have lasted for at least six months. Our company is very willing to provide premarital cohabitation simulation services for couples, ensuring a more harmonious and fulfilling married life for both of you!"
"In addition, the assessment of online health between players will be more stringent!"
"That concludes the introduction to the new system rules!"
After Xiao Yan explained the rules for using the new system among players, a lot of discordant content immediately appeared in the chat, but it was drowned out by the "righteous words" from many more players.
Finally, the four words "Tianyao NB" became the true main theme of the bullet comments!
Perhaps because the comments section couldn't stir up any trouble, a large number of new posts immediately appeared on the Battle Through the Heavens Forum, condemning the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System as a degenerate product that violates human morality and should not be on the market!
The number of complaints received by the relevant departments jumped from tens of digits to over 9999 within a minute!
The complaint hotline was ringing off the hook! At first, the staff responsible for handling the complaints were patiently explaining things.
Then they simply gave a unified reply:
"This is a unanimous decision made by all our relevant departments. We will conduct a sustained investigation over a period of time. If your report is true, we will definitely take serious action!"
Serious action is impossible; the relevant departments aren't stupid! In the previous version, Tian Yao Company played a trick of attacking Wei to relieve the siege of Zhao.
In recent months, several particularly striking data points have emerged from the countries that have implemented the system:
From a consumption perspective, tax revenue from online virtual consumption increased by 65.8%!
Consumption related to food, fitness, and other related items has also risen sharply.
This is just the most basic level.
In America, which values freedom, the crime rate has dropped by 78.4% in the last three months!
Because the vast majority of players need to constantly recharge in the game to ensure their experience, while the income of most ordinary people is quite limited.
The America government immediately introduced relevant policies to encourage players to work harder after logging off in order to earn more money.
In reality, people work to earn money, then invest it in games to gain an experience; the money ends up back in the hands of the America Treasury.
It directly boosted the GDP of the entire America!
Because they were making so much money, relevant America. departments once wanted to increase the tax on Tian Yao Company's games.
Therefore, Tian Yao Company suspended the operation of its National Server for ten days.
The free-spirited America people have led the Treasury Department to allocate a whopping $800 million for the reconstruction of the White House! This isn't just happening in the America; other countries that have implemented the system in the previous version are experiencing similar situations.
Higher GDP, social stability, people's happiness index, and consumer desire are all soaring.
People are putting in more labor for their jobs, but they are actually more willing and more proactive!
The people are the foundation of the nation!
Who dares to stop the people from moving towards a happier future?
Using immersive technology to bring people a better life.
The full support from relevant departments is the best proof that Tian Yao Company remains true to its original aspiration!
"Alright, that concludes the introduction to the implementation and pricing of the new system. I know, I know, all of you shareholders are eager to shout ' Battle Through the Heavens!' but we've also updated a lot of content and patched fixes in the new version. For example, we've adjusted the strength of the Dou Qi Armor and the output of items and Spirit Stone."
At this point, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. "The second year of Battle Through the Heavens is coming to an end, and I'm very happy to see that all the players have found their own joy in the game. At the same time, according to our company's statistics, as of Version 2.1, the proportion of players at the Dou Wang and above has exceeded 30%!"
"You are no longer the insignificant figures of the Northwest Continent; you are now powerful individuals capable of standing on your own!"
"Therefore, regarding the new version, we have only set the basic background of the main storyline, and we ourselves do not know the subsequent development and ending of these stories!"
Secretary Lin explained from the side:
"The implementation of the Guan-Bao System, along with our sweeping changes to the main storyline, and the fact that Battle Through the Heavens is about to enter its third year, all signify extraordinary importance for Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens!"
"Therefore, we will number the new version as: 3.0!"
Xiao Yan smiled, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and a relay baton appeared in his hand.
He raised the baton to the front of the screen, his voice firm and sincere. "Future powerful figures who will be renowned Dou Qi Continent! This time, the baton is passed to you!"
"Everyone, Battle Through the Heavens 3.0! See you again on the Dou Qi Continent!"
Chao Bafang was filled with surging emotions. "Where is my halberd? Where is my halberd?"
Zhu Tianpeng: "My baton is already itching to be used!"
Su Yitang couldn't help but whisper, "Those two old lechers! Humph!"
"Sister Tangtang, can I open my eyes now?"
At Su Yitang's request, Little Yao Xi covered her eyes, while Su Yitang covered Little Yao Xi's ears.
After all, there are some things that are not suitable for Yao Xi, who is too young, to be exposed to.
After Su Yitang let go of Yang Shan's hand, she moved closer to him:
"Boss, how come you're so calm?"
Yang Shan his finger randomly across the virtual screen in front of him.
Su Yitang then noticed that Yang Shan had actually posted on the forum! The post was titled "Theoretical Basics of NPC Conquest"! Su Yitang exclaimed, "Wow! Boss, you're really offering a course? Are you going to teach people how to pick up girls? A relationship guru!"
Yang Shan: "Let me correct you, it's not about teaching others how to pick up girls, it's about teaching players how to pick up female NPCs!"
Su Yitang: "Why not write about how to woo male NPCs?"
Yang Shan: "I also want to write it, but if I do, who will believe me?"
Su Yitang: "What you said makes a lot of sense, oh no, the boss is always right!"
In fact, after the title of "the Soul Hall’s First Player" was gradually recognized by Battle Through the Heavens players, Yang Shan had already been preparing NPC strategy guides and tips in his spare time outside of game time.
In fact, there are quite a few posts sharing guides on how to play these NPCs.
However, there is actually considerable competition when it comes to winning over NPCs.
For example, there's a certain elder in the Misty Cloud Sect who looks to be in her early thirties and has a lot of charm. Hundreds of players want to raise her favorability rating to 70. These hundreds of players are all in competition with each other!
Therefore, the NPC strategy posts on the forum are currently very superficial, and many are even just clickbait titles designed to attract traffic.
Most players read these posts just for fun, or to try their luck; if they happen to find some useful information, they'll make a fortune.
But!
The topic "Begging for the Soul Hall’s First Player" has sparked a heated discussion on the forum, appearing three times! The first time was when Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er were seen together at the Jia Nan Academy.
One instance was when Ya Fei Sealed Heart Locked Love.
There was another time, when Yun Yun was taken down! When others posted strategy guides, people would question and refute them.
But when Yang Shan posts a strategy guide, he becomes the "authoritative" figure! Anyone who questions him is a fool! As a shrewd and cunning Old Schemer, Yang Shan held back until the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship " game was implemented!
Only when this system function is implemented will players' demand for NPC strategy tips reach its peak!
Moreover, Yang Shan had prepared two guides.
The first one is a basic guide, completely free. It contains limited tips and tricks, but it will definitely be effective!
The second document is a paid guide, which contains over 20,000 words. If you thoroughly understand the techniques and theories described in it, it will definitely greatly improve your efficiency in gaining favor with NPCs who are not from the original story!
As for the more advanced techniques, these are the "golden techniques" that Yang Shan summarized from various experiments in his previous life and from various practical experiences in this life! Even Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng had to sign confidentiality agreements to receive a portion of the technique explanations.
Sharing core techniques is something even someone with brain damage like Yang Shan wouldn't do! Even when he occasionally decides to help his partners seize opportunities to improve their image, Yang Shan focuses on practical actions rather than principles and logic.
Yang Shan's "paid guide" is priced at 10 yuan.
The revenue from paid strategy guides will be split 50/50 with Tian Yao Company. In addition, 20% of the revenue will be subject to relevant taxes.
Yang Shan will ultimately receive four coins from each player who makes a purchase.
This pricing was the result of Yang Shan's careful consideration.
The brand value of "The Soul Hall’s First Player" is enough to gain the recognition of the vast majority of players.
There are now over a billion registered players on the National Server, and even an old man like Tie Yang, who is over sixty years old, is coming to play!
Even if most players don't focus on combat but choose to experience life in the Dou Qi Continent, they still can't do without the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship!
"Whether I can surpass my father's assets before I turn twenty-six depends on this one time!"
