Perfect World Games distributed Ver.1.3 for NTE: Neverness to Everness on August 19, adding the Shizano Masai residential property. The detached house with a garden sits on Lombas Lake Street in Mige District and costs 6.9 million Fans. Players have debated whether its location is bad, citing noise from a main road and views of elevated lines. The author lived there and consulted a real estate professional to assess the property's actual value.
Ver.1.3 of NTE: Neverness to Everness added a new kind of residence: Shizano Masai, a detached house with a garden, built on land that was a solar panel installation site in Ver.1.2. The property costs 6.9 million Fans and includes parking. It also introduces a gardening mechanic where players plant seeds, water them, and sell the harvested vegetables using City Stamina.
Before the update even landed, Chinese social media users had already flagged the location as mediocre. The complaints are specific: the front door opens onto a main road, and the windows face elevated train lines and distant high-rises. In the author's own test, the nearest shopping street was about one minute away by bicycle, and living there felt quiet rather than inconvenient.
