County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

"My younger sister is 21 years old and 172 cm tall. She wants to find an older brother who can protect her as her boyfriend. He must be a special talent with at least blue quality."

"I just recruited a blue-quality dancer, girl, I'll protect you!"

"What good are dancers? Get out of here!"

"Holy crap, did I transmigrate? I started as a county magistrate right from the start! Now I don't have to be a beast of burden anymore, awesome!"

"Hahahaha, all those years of reading Tomato Novels haven't been a waste! Now they're finally coming in handy!"

"Are you obsessed with reading novels? I suggest you uninstall Tomato Novels right now, and this so-called game—I don't care who you are, just let me go immediately. This is a crime, you know? Believe me, I'm calling the police right now!"

"..."

in the room,

Han Yilin had just opened his eyes.

I was still a little dazed, staring at the constantly scrolling light screen in front of me.

"Wasn't I just playing Delta Force at an internet cafe? Where did I end up here? Is this still in China?"

"Holy crap."

"The Heart of Africa is brand new, the very first one. I haven't even put it in insurance yet."

Amidst doubt,

Han Yilin noticed that

There is a cross mark in the upper right corner of the semi-transparent light screen in front of you.

and,

As his gaze moved,

A cursor,

It has been moved to the cross.

"Can this be turned off?"

Click~

Chat channel closed.

The light screen appeared on the main interface.

Welcome to the Endless Continent, where you will become a county magistrate.

Scattered around each county town are numerous resource sites, including four basic resources: [grain], [timber], [iron ore], and [stone].

Resource territories are ranked from 1 to 9. The higher the tier, the more difficult it is to capture, but the greater the power points and resource output gained.

You can recruit refugees, starting from level 1 resource areas, gradually developing your territory, building barracks, recruiting troops, and expanding your power.

Opportunities and dangers coexist. In the process of expansion, there will be many opportunities along with dangers. Whether you ultimately become a supreme emperor or suffer the fate of a fallen city and death depends on your choices.

[Note: The new player protection period lasts for thirty days. After it ends, a rebel attack will occur.]

【...】

After reading,

Han Yilin then realized his current situation.

"Well, I never thought that something like a game for everyone would happen to me."

"And judging from the description, it's a bit like an SLG game. Resource areas are even divided into levels, and there's a 30-day newbie protection period. Hopefully, there's plenty of time."

Regarding the matter of time travel

Han Yilin accepted it quite calmly, after all, he had read quite a few Tomato novels over the years.

and,

The message in the chat channel just now,

This can be considered as laying the groundwork in advance.

My gaze moved to the center of the prompt box, and with a thought, I clicked the OK option. As the prompt box closed, a new pop-up window appeared.

Please enter the name of the faction: ( ) County

[Note: Once the faction name is confirmed, it cannot be changed and will also be displayed in the leaderboards and server-wide announcements.]

"Should we name it?"

Han Yilin had a headache.

Unlike those who use the same ID across all social media platforms, including games, he has always been very resistant to the idea of ​​choosing a name.

I never know what name to choose.

especially,

There is another set of prompts below.

It looks very eye-catching.

"If that doesn't work, then...Qingshan County?"

After thinking for a long time,

Han Yilin chose a name that is very common in various novels.

result,

After entering the information and clicking "OK",

A notification pops up in front of you.

[This faction name is already taken. Please enter it again.]

Han Yilin's lips twitched.

Good guy,

It's only been a short time since the game started, and even a name like Qingshan County has been snatched up by someone else?

He refused to believe in superstitions and tried several more common names.

Lin'an County

[This faction name is already taken. Please enter it again.]

Heishan County

[This faction name is already taken. Please enter it again.]

【...】

Not a buddy...

Enter it at the end.

Han Yilin was completely dumbfounded. Is this what it's like for billions of people to travel through time and have their names chosen together?

He now has doubts.

Given the population size of the Great Xia Kingdom, would there be enough commonly used Chinese characters to name people?

"Common names are probably out of the question, so let's try something else..."

After hesitating for a while,

suddenly,

A flash of inspiration struck me.

Before he even entered the name, Han Yilin laughed to himself: "I used to be a member of the Explosive Sky Gang, so it's not unreasonable for me to have this name now, is it?"

quickly,

Enter your name.

This time, no duplicate prompts appeared.

The light screen flashed,

A brand new home screen interface appeared before my eyes.

Territory, Map, Buildings, Military, Trade, Chat...

The entire interface is neatly arranged with a row of icons, somewhat like a function bar in a game.

His eyes swept over the area.

then,

Han Yilin started with the first icon, intending to learn about the various functions first.

[Territory]: Zhatian County

[Level]: First-class county town

Magistrate: Han Yilin

Population: 0

[Money]: 0

[Grain]: 100

[Soldier]: 0

Public sentiment: 0

[Public Security]: 0

[Power Value]: 0

【...】

A series of zeros,

Han Yilin was completely puzzled. Was the game starting with a blank slate?

And... your county has no population at all, how am I supposed to develop it?!

And that doesn't even include myself.

"Am I not human?"

"Am I even human?!"

He continued to complain in his mind.

But Han Yilin did not stop in his actions.

With years of gaming experience, he knows very well how important the progress of exploring a new game is.

One step ahead leads to another.

I need to quickly familiarize myself with this so-called "game for everyone," and then I'll have to start exploring.

Exit panel,

then,

He opened the map interface.

As expected,

The map was completely black except for a patch of light in the center, around the county seat and surrounding areas.

In the county town,

There's also a line of smaller text: Zhatian County.

"really."

"The surrounding area is shrouded in fog of war; it will probably take some time to explore before it appears on the map."

"As for resource-rich areas..."

Han Yilin glanced around.

The four types of resources are scattered fairly evenly, with a large number of resource sites at levels 1-3.

As for higher-level resource sites, I also saw some, but they were all some distance apart from each other.

"It looks alright."

"The location isn't too bad."

before,

Han Yilin has played quite a few SLG games.

I have met many people,

The initial landing location was in a remote corner with few resource-rich areas to develop in, resulting in a significant lag in resource gathering progress.

Subsequently,

Han Yilin opened the 'Architecture' interface.

There were only four pitiful buildings inside, two of which were still in a state of damage.

[City Lord's Mansion]: Lv.1

[Porridge Stall] Lv.1

[City Wall]: Lv.0 (Damaged)

[City Gate]: Lv.0 (Damaged)

As Han Yilin's gaze moved,

Whenever he locks onto a building, the function of that building will be displayed next to it.

[City Lord's Mansion (Lv.1)]:

The core building determines the upper limit of the territory level and can handle government affairs, appoint officials, and issue orders.

Upgrade requirements: 3000 wood, 1500 stone, 10000 copper coins (for a population of 1000).

...

[Soup Porridge Shelter (Lv.1)]: Consumes 50 units of food to recruit 100 refugees, with a very low probability of recruiting special talents.

Upgrade requirements: 100 wood, 100 stone, 100 food

...

After reading the instructions for the soup kitchen,

Han Yilin finally understood.

What were those 100 units of food in the territory used for?

This is essentially the game's starting capital, used by players to recruit refugees and provide them with food security in the early stages.

As for the city gates and city walls

Because it is in a damaged state,

On the panel,

Only the repair conditions are displayed.

Other than that,

It refers to various types of buildings that can be constructed, but since there are currently no resources, Han Yilin did not take a closer look and chose to exit the 'Building' interface.

Looking at the icons behind,

The icons for "Military" and "Trade" are both grayed out and cannot be opened.

Han Yilin guessed that a certain building would need to be constructed to unlock it.

At last,

It's the chat channel.

Not surprisingly,

Like other popular novels, it is divided into "World Channel" and "Regional Channel".

The former is empty, and the input box is grayed out, making it impossible to send messages.

in contrast,

In the regional channels,

Messages are scrolling by rapidly, keeping viewers busy.

"Are you kidding me? The starting county is in the desert, surrounded by barren land, and the nearest resource area is 800 miles away. How am I supposed to develop it?"

"The desert isn't so bad. I'm on a cliff, did I say anything?"

"Cliffs are easy to defend but hard to attack, brother."

"Speaking of this 'nationwide county magistrate,' does he start without any special talents or anything?"

"Probably not. Anyway, I searched for a long time but couldn't find any relevant options."

"That's right!"

"Indeed, at least everyone starts on the same footing. I'm just afraid that at the beginning, the talent system will be drawn. Some people will be S-rank, some will be F-rank, and those with poor talent will not be able to play at all."

"Although I lack talent, luck plays a part too. Among the first wave of refugees I recruited, there was a blue-quality general who was incredibly powerful in combat."

"Damn it, why?! Why are all the people I recruited old, weak, sick, and disabled? More than half of them are unable to work. I'm now considering whether to exile the useless people."

"No, please don't, brother, believe me. If I exile all the old people, the public's morale will plummet."

"..."

Within the regional channel,

There is also a parenthesis next to it.

The number displayed inside is 10000.

This channel has 10,000 users.

The messages were scrolling by incredibly fast.

Han Yilin was overwhelmed by what he saw. Everyone was in a state of chaos, fear, and excitement, frantically exchanging information.

Han Yilin gave it a try.

He found,

You can use voice input, which will be directly converted into text and sent within the channel.

beside,

There's also a plus sign.

It can be used to send pictures, videos, and so on.

at this time,

A message appeared,

The entire chat channel fell silent for a moment.

"Dear male players, I am Liu Ruxue, a graduate student at Wuhan University. I propose that all male players should unconditionally help the female magistrate."

"Because female players are naturally at a disadvantage, while you male players enjoy a gender advantage, I suggest that female players form a mutual aid alliance, and at the same time ask all male players in this region to donate 30% of their resources free of charge to support the female magistrate."
