Chapter 33: Xiao Yan Seeks Help, Chat Group Upgrades
Originally, Huo Yuhao had already decided to join the Tang Sect, but under the suggestion of Tianmeng Bingcan, who had become his Wisdom Soul Ring and shared his fate—prospering or failing together—he temporarily refused Tang Ya and Bei Bei, preparing to consider the matter more seriously.
Meanwhile, within the Chat Group, Xiao Yan quickly began seeking help.
Although he would eventually reach the peak of the Dou Qi Continent and become a Dou Di, he had many regrets along the way.
Leaving aside the distant past, the upcoming incident of Nalan Yanran breaking the engagement was simply not something he wished to experience.
Although he won the three-year pact with Nalan Yanran in the original plot, if possible, he hoped to resolve this issue properly at the very moment Nalan Yanran broke the engagement!
【System Notification: Xiao Yan has changed the viewing permissions for "Battle Through the Heavens"; all group members may now watch!】
【Xiao Yan: I wonder if anyone has a way to help me, so that the Xiao family does not suffer humiliation when Nalan Yanran breaks the engagement!】
Moments later, everyone in the group had already watched the content of "Battle Through the Heavens".
【Hearing Pang Bo: 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not mock the poor youth!' What ambition! Brother Xiao Yan, I support you!】
【Xiao Yan: Thank you, Brother Hearing Pang Bo! However, Brother Hearing Pang Bo, do you have a way to help me?】
【Hearing Pang Bo: That depends on how much time you have left!】
【Xiao Yan: Not much time left! Just now, my father came to tell me that distinguished guests will visit tomorrow; if nothing unexpected happens, it should be Nalan Yanran and a group from the Yun Lan Sect!】
【Hearing Pang Bo: This... only one night remains; this is truly too short. I am definitely powerless!】
Wutan City, Xiao Family.
Seeing Hearing Pang Bo say he was powerless, a bitter smile inevitably appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
Indeed!
The time is truly too brief!
If only he could have joined the Chat Group a while earlier!
But just at this moment...
【Hearing Pang Bo: However, you can ask the Group Owner about this matter. The Group Owner's strength is unfathomable; perhaps he will have a way to help you!】
【Yue Buqun: The Group Owner's strength is indeed the strongest among us; if he cannot help you, then none of the rest of us can!】
Seeing the new message appearing in the Chat Group, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly brightened.
【Xiao Yan: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, I wonder if you have a way to help me? If you can lend me a hand, should you ever need help in the future, I, Xiao Yan, will surely do my utmost!】
"This..."
On Tianlei Star, looking at Xiao Yan's plea in the Chat Group, Lu Qingshan felt somewhat troubled for a moment, after all, the time left for Xiao Yan was indeed too short!
It must be known that through interacting with the people in the Chat Group during this period, Lu Qingshan had also discovered the differences between various worlds.
If it were in the Starry Sky World, he certainly had many ways to rapidly enhance the strength of an Apprentice-level, or even a Planetary-level or Stellar-level powerhouse;
But for Xiao Yan in the Battle Breakthrough World, there was no guarantee that problems like Han Li in the Mortal World needing a Foundation Establishment Pill would not arise!
And Xiao Yan now had only one night!
"It seems, the only way is to proceed on two fronts!" After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan finally had an idea in his heart.
【System Notification: Lu Qingshan has uploaded a designated red packet: one Chaos Source Fruit, ten thousand jin of Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow, ten portions of Thousand-Year Black Wu Root, ten kilograms of Purple Light Marrow...】
Inside the red packet he uploaded, items like the Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow and Thousand-Year Black Wu Root were merely small trinkets he carried casually; to him, they were utterly insignificant, so much so that he would not even bother to pick them up if thrown on the ground; only the Chaos Source Fruit was a life-saving treasure he had carefully prepared for himself at the Domain Lord stage, extremely valuable in worth, costing him over a hundred Hunyuan Units when purchased originally, far more precious than the Fruit of Life.
However, now that he had become Immortal, this life-saving treasure was nothing to him, and the world where Xiao Yan resided should be of great help to his future growth; this could be considered an advance investment.
Moreover, Yan's character was very reliable; if Lu Qingshan could help him now, he would certainly not suffer losses in the future.
【Lu Qingshan: @Xiao Yan, these red packets should be of some help to you. That Chaos Source Fruit is a heavenly and earthly treasure that nurtures the soul; it should be able to help Yao Chen quickly recover some strength; as for the other small items, they should be able to enhance your strength, though I do not know how much you can improve in just one night!】
Seeing Lu Qingshan's words, a flash of excitement appeared on Xiao Yan's face inside the room.
He had only held a sliver of hope when seeking help from the Group Owner earlier; he never expected the Group Owner to think of two solutions for him in such a short time.
【Xiao Yan: Thank you, Group Owner, for your great kindness; should you ever need my help in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to assist!】
【System Notification: Xiao Yan has claimed Lu Qingshan's red packet.】
Just at this moment...
【System Notification: Detected increased activity within the Chat Group; the Chat Group is beginning to upgrade!】
【System Notification: Detected that all group members have made certain contributions to the Chat Group upgrade; rewards will be distributed next.】
【System Notification: Chat Group update completed; the following functions have been added...】
【System Notification: Chat Group live streaming function activated!】
Four consecutive system messages directly interrupted the conversation among the people in the Chat Group.
【Hearing Pang Bo: The Chat Group has upgraded again? However, I received no special reward this time, only 1921 points!】
【Yue Buqun: I received no special reward either, and my points are only 1636!】
【Cao Cao: Same as everyone else, though my points are a bit higher, at 1736!】
【Han Li: It seems my points must be the lowest, only 1103!】
【Xiao Yan: But I only have 1000 points!】
【Tianmeng Bingcan: I only have 1000 points too!】
Looking at the messages from the people in the Chat Group, Lu Qingshan quickly claimed his own reward.
【System Notification: You have received 3157 points!】
"It seems the points rewarded by the Chat Group this time are determined based on activity within the Chat Group!"
Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Hearing Pang Bo, Cao Cao, and Yue Buqun are relatively active in the Chat Group, so they received more points, while Han Li and I often lurk, so we received fewer points! However, as the Group Owner, my base points are much higher than theirs!"
The others in the Chat Group were also elites from various worlds, so they quickly discovered this pattern as well.
【Hearing Pang Bo: @Han Li, points are related to our level of activity; you, young man, rarely surface in the group, so your points must be low!】
【Hearing Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, @Tianmeng Bingcan, you two should surface more in the group in the future; when points are distributed next time, you will have more!】
【Cao Cao: After this Chat Group update, it seems a live streaming function has been added; I wonder what use it has?】
【Hearing Pang Bo: I know this, but it is hard to explain clearly in a short while. How about this? I will demonstrate it directly for you!】
【System Notice: Administrator Hearing Pang Bo has started a group livestream.】
At the same time, two options instantly appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind.
【Whether to watch Hearing Pang Bo's livestream. If watching, please choose the viewing angle: First-person view, Third-person view.】
After Lu Qingshan chose the third-person view, the figure of a young man quickly appeared before his eyes — it was Hearing Pang Bo inside the Covering Heaven World.
【Cao Cao: You're Hearing Pang Bo?】
【Hearing Pang Bo: That's right, it's me. Everyone can see me now, right?】
【Yue Buqun: I see him. Little Brother Hearing Pang Bo is indeed dashing and full of spirit!】
【Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: I can't see anything! All I see is a mountain!】
【Hearing Pang Bo: That's because you're in first-person view. Switch over to third-person view right now!】
【Hearing Pang Bo: The place I'm at right now is called Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven. Unfortunately, my current strength is still too weak, so I can't take everyone on a proper tour of this Covering Heaven World I'm in!】
【Hearing Pang Bo: But don't worry, everyone. Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely take you all on a proper tour — all the great sacred lands, all the life forbidden zones, I'll take you to see every one of them…】
After that, Hearing Pang Bo led everyone in the group through the newly appeared livestream function in the chat group, and then everyone dispersed.
Went to visit relatives today, so time is a bit tight. The next chapter will be a little late.
