After dealing with all the complicated matters related to the public beta, Liu Xingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's when I decided to find a helper to handle some miscellaneous tasks. Doing everything myself is too tiring.

"Hmm... I need to find someone honest and hardworking... with a clean background... and then..." Liu Xingyao remembered Tiandao's advice.

Hmm... Why does it sound like they're looking for a backup plan?

"How about... I really find a programmer?" Liu Xingyao thought with amusement, this was Tiandao's suggestion.

Liu Xingyao's announcement caused a huge uproar on the official forum of Tiandaozhong.

No wonder it's a server maintenance update this time!

You should know that the game "Heavenly Path" has never shut down!

So it's in open beta! No wonder!

Although there are only 200,000 slots available, that's still more than all the previous slots combined! We'll definitely need to shut down the server for an update.

And look at the price of that gaming pod, it's 1,000 yuan!

What does one thousand yuan mean?

It's just a matter of a few meals.

Every individual has this purchasing power.

It's safe to say that the price of 1,000 yuan is practically the same as giving it away for free!

The players were in an uproar following Liu Xingyao's announcement.

Wang Ergouzi: Ahhh! I'm still teleporting and haven't entered the new map yet!

"Xianyu Fan: It's okay. I'm standing right next to you! If anything happens, it'll definitely fall on me first, because I'm big."

"Extreme Master: Two beta testers discovered! Their protein content is ten times that of beef!"

"Snowflakes are falling: You have to do a test to get a spot in this public beta! The planners are geniuses! Did they get a lot of military training from their teachers when they were kids?!"

"I tripped and fell this morning: This game company is really rich! The high-tech game pod only costs a thousand!"

"Shoe factory owner: One thousand yuan! One thousand yuan won't leave you at a loss, one thousand yuan won't leave you cheated! One thousand yuan, one thousand yuan, take home this high-tech gaming pod!"

Taking advantage of the server downtime, Wang Ergouzi, who hadn't updated in a long time, quickly put together a strategy guide post.

"Hello everyone! I'm Wang Ergouzi, now a professional commentator for Tiandaozhong games. It's been a long time, so please feel free to like, comment, and share."

"Those who say they'll do it next time, please go stand in the hallway as punishment."

"A lot has happened in the game recently. If I were to describe them all, it would probably take more than one post. So I'll just write about the key points."

"Now, most of us veteran players are focused on cultivation-related characters. With the support of battle formations, we can unleash boundless power."

"Therefore, before changing jobs, you must pay attention to how you allocate your stat points. Most of us veteran players use a single stat allocation method in order to change jobs. Although you can still allocate stat points after changing jobs, we all guess that the stat allocation method before changing jobs is the most important. Allocating all stat points to all attributes before changing jobs might have a magical effect. Of course, this is just my personal guess."

"Now that the entire Rice Ear Star has fallen into the hands of the players, we should be considered to have passed the newbie stage."

"Next, the battlefield for us veteran players will be on the new map. We hope that the new players in the open beta can grow up quickly and join our army to conquer the new map."

"This is your Wang Ergouzi. The game will be back online soon, so I'll stop here for now. Bye-bye~"

The public beta of Tiandaozhong has driven the entire Blue Star society into a frenzy. You must know that Tiandaozhong has now defeated all other forms of entertainment, using epoch-making technology that countless people dream of!

Why bother chasing after celebrities?

Why bother collecting figurines?

If Liu Xingyao hadn't controlled the transfer of the game pod, these guys would definitely have sold it!

The number of game slots for Tiandaozhong has been sold for 20 million on the black market!

The closed beta of Tiandaozhong had already made many casual gamers drool with envy. Now that it's finally in open beta, these casual gamers are frantically refreshing the official website, waiting for the results to be released.

As expected, the official website of Tiandaozhong quickly crashed due to the sheer volume of traffic.

There are too many people.

Liu Xingyao checked the notification on his phone and, knowing the official website had crashed again, made up his mind.

I really need to find a programmer.

Wang Feng is a proud programmer who has been in this position for ten years.

Ten years of working as a programmer has made him very wealthy, so he doesn't have to worry about making a living.

girlfriend?

The code is his girlfriend.

Hmm... There's also anime and figurines.

His life was simple: he would go to work to write code, find bugs after get off work, and in his spare time, he would check the official websites of new anime series and Tiandao Sect to see if he could snag a spot.

He had read all the online guides and strategies for the Heavenly Dao Clan thoroughly, and his walls were covered with promotional posters for the Heavenly Dao Clan.

He can be described as a die-hard fan of the Heavenly Path Sect.

Today, for the first time ever, he's planning to leave work early.

Because we're about to compete for a spot in the public beta test for Tiandaozhong!

When he went to ask his supervisor for leave, the supervisor glanced at Wang Feng's increasingly receding hairline and readily agreed to his leave.

Wang Feng happily hopped on his scooter and sped off towards home.

Boom!

A loud bang followed.

Wang Feng felt like he was flying.

He tried desperately to maintain his balance in the air, only to find that when he landed, he was no longer in the same place.

He was standing in an unfamiliar room, and a young man with dark circles under his eyes was looking him over.

"Hello." Wang Feng nodded slightly shyly, as his long hours spent working with code had made him less adept at socializing.

"Hello." The young man smiled and nodded kindly, which made Wang Feng breathe a slight sigh of relief. The young man extended his right hand, gesturing for Wang Feng to sit down.

"Please sit down, don't stand."

"Okay, okay." Wang Feng sat down somewhat awkwardly.

"First, please watch a video to understand what happened to you." The black-haired youth snapped his fingers, and a light screen appeared in the void.

? ? ?

What kind of high-tech is this?

Wang Feng was stunned by Liu Xingyao's move. After a moment of stunned silence, he looked at the light screen in front of him.

The person inside the light screen...

Isn't this me?

Wang Feng watched as he happily rode his scooter, only to be hit and thrown into the air by an out-of-control hovercar. When he fell, he was in a strange, grotesque shape and looked like he was going to die.

Sold out instantly.

...

So... am I already done for?

Wang Feng was completely bewildered. He adjusted his glasses and asked, "So, you're God? Is Heaven this modern now?"
