Xiao Yan Seeks Help, Chat Group Upgrade

Huo Yuhao had originally planned to join the Tang Sect, but at the suggestion of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had become his intelligent soul ring and now shared both glory and ruin with him, he temporarily declined Tang Ya and Bei Bei's offer, intending to think it over carefully.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan quickly began seeking help in the chat group.

Although he would eventually reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent and become a Dou Di, he had accumulated many regrets along the way.

Putting aside the distant future, the imminent matter of Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement was already something he did not wish to experience.

Although he had won the three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran in the original story, if possible, he still hoped to properly resolve the matter when Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement!

[System Notification: Xiao Yan has changed the viewing permissions for Battle Through the Heavens. All group members may now view it!]

[Xiao Yan: Does anyone have a way to help me prevent the Xiao Clan from being humiliated when Nalan Yanran comes to break off the engagement?]

A short while later, everyone in the group had finished watching Battle Through the Heavens.

[Pang Bo: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never bully a young man because he is poor!" What spirit! Brother Xiao Yan, I'm with you!]

[Xiao Yan: Thank you, Brother Pang Bo! But do you have any way to help me?]

[Pang Bo: That depends on how much time you have left!]

[Xiao Yan: Not much! My father just told me that distinguished guests will be visiting tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Nalan Yanran and a group from the Cloud Mist Sect!]

[Pang Bo: This... there's only one night left. That's far too little time—I definitely can't do anything!]

Wu Tan City, Xiao Clan.

Seeing Pang Bo say that he could do nothing, Xiao Yan could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

That was right!

There was simply too little time!

If only he had joined the chat group earlier!

But at that moment...

[Pang Bo: But you can ask the group owner about this. The group owner's strength is unfathomable; perhaps he has a way to help you!]

[Yue Buqun: The group owner is indeed the strongest among us. If even he cannot help you, then the rest of us will have even less of a solution!]

Seeing the new messages in the chat group, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly lit up.

[Xiao Yan: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, do you have any way to help me? If you can lend me a hand, then should you ever need assistance in the future, I, Xiao Yan, will certainly do everything in my power!]

"This..."

On Thunder Star, Lu Qingshan felt somewhat troubled as he looked at Xiao Yan's plea in the chat group. The time left for Xiao Yan truly was too short!

After spending time with the people in the chat group, Lu Qingshan had discovered the differences between their various worlds.

If this were the world of Swallowed Star, he would certainly have many ways to rapidly increase the strength of a warrior at the apprentice level, or even the planetary and stellar levels;

But for Xiao Yan in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, there was no guarantee that an issue like Han Li needing Foundation Establishment Pills in the mortal world would not arise!

And Xiao Yan only had one night!

It seems I can only tackle this from two angles! After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan finally came up with an idea.

[System Notification: Lu Qingshan has uploaded a designated red packet: one Chaos Source Fruit, ten thousand jin of Millennium Spirit Marrow, ten portions of Millennium Black Crow Root, ten kilograms of Violet Light Marrow...]

Of the items in the red packet he uploaded, the Millennium Spirit Marrow, Millennium Black Crow Root, and the like were merely trinkets he casually carried around. They were worthless to him—he would not even bother picking them up if they were thrown on the ground. Only the Chaos Source Fruit was a life-saving treasure he had carefully prepared for himself at the World Master stage. It was extraordinarily valuable; when he had bought it, it had cost him more than one hundred mixed yuan units, making it far more precious than a Life Fruit.

However, this life-saving item was nothing to him now that he had become immortal. Moreover, Xiao Yan's world should be of great help to his future growth, so this could be considered an early investment.

Besides, Xiao Yan's character was quite reliable. If Lu Qingshan helped him now, he certainly would not lose out in the future.

[Lu Qingshan: @Xiao Yan, these red packets should be of some help to you. That Chaos Source Fruit is a rare heavenly treasure that nourishes the soul and should help Yao Chen rapidly recover some of his strength. As for the other little things, they should improve your strength. I just don't know how much you can improve in one night!]

Seeing Lu Qingshan's words, Xiao Yan's face flashed with excitement.

He had only asked the group owner for help with a sliver of hope, yet he had never expected the group owner to come up with two solutions for him in such a short time.

[Xiao Yan: Thank you greatly, Group Owner. If you ever need my help in the future, I will certainly do everything in my power to assist you!]

[System Notification: Xiao Yan has claimed Lu Qingshan's red packet.]

Just then...

[System Notification: The chat group's activity level has increased. The chat group is beginning an upgrade!]

[System Notification: All group members have made a certain contribution to the chat group's upgrade and will receive corresponding rewards.]

[System Notification: The chat group update has been completed. The following feature has been added...]

[System Notification: Chat group livestream feature unlocked!]

Four consecutive system notifications directly interrupted everyone's conversation in the chat group.

[Pang Bo: The chat group upgraded again? But I didn't get a special reward this time, only 1,921 points!]

[Yue Buqun: I didn't get a special reward either, and I only received 1,636 points!]

[Cao Cao: Same as everyone else, though I got a little more—1,736 points!]

[Han Li: It looks like I definitely got the fewest points. Only 1,103!]

[Xiao Yan: But I only got 1,000 points!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: I only got 1,000 points too!]

Seeing everyone's messages in the chat group, Lu Qingshan quickly claimed his own reward as well.

[System Notification: You have received 3,157 points!]

It seems the points awarded by the chat group this time are determined by each person's activity level in the group!

Lu Qingshan silently thought, Pang Bo, Cao Cao, and Yue Buqun are relatively active in the chat group, so they received more points. Han Li and I often lurk, so we received fewer! But as the group owner, my base points are much higher than theirs!

The others in the chat group were all elites from their respective worlds, so they quickly noticed this pattern as well.

[Pang Bo: @Han Li, points are tied to how active we are. You barely ever show up in the group, so of course you got fewer points!]

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, @Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, you two should talk more in the group from now on. When points are handed out next time, you'll get more!]

[Cao Cao: After this chat group update, it seems a livestream feature was added. I wonder what it does?]

[Pang Bo: I know, but it's hard to explain in a few words. How about I just demonstrate it for you?]

[System Notification: Administrator Pang Bo has started a group livestream.]

At the same time, two options instantly appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.

[Would you like to watch Pang Bo's livestream? If so, please choose a viewing perspective: first-person perspective or third-person perspective.]

After Lu Qingshan selected the third-person perspective, the figure of a young man soon appeared before him. It was Pang Bo from the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

[Cao Cao: You're Pang Bo?]

[Pang Bo: That's right, it's me. Everyone can see me now, right?]

[Yue Buqun: I can see you. Little Brother Pang Bo is indeed dashing and spirited!]

[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: I can't see you! All I can see is a mountain!]

[Pang Bo: You're using the first-person perspective. Switch directly to third-person!]

[Pang Bo: The place I'm in now is called Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Unfortunately, I'm still too weak to give everyone a proper tour of my world of Shrouding the Heavens!]

[Pang Bo: But don't worry, once I become stronger, I'll definitely take everyone around to see it properly. The various sacred lands, the major life-restricted zones—I'll take you all to have a look...]

After that, Pang Bo familiarized everyone in the group with the newly added livestream feature, and then everyone went their separate ways.

I visited relatives today, so time was a little tight. The next chapter will be a bit later.
