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

[City Lord's Mansion (Lv.5)]:

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

Upgrade requirements: 10 Wood, 20 Stone, 10 Silver

The next level is a prefecture city, which requires controlling at least five county cities and having a total population of over 10 within its territory.

......

to be frank,

The first glance at the upgrade requirements

Han Yilin was completely dumbfounded.

Based on the normal development of players, even if they reach the fifth level of county, it is difficult to control more than five counties, not to mention the population limit.

Can be biased,

Zha Tian County is so satisfying.

Let alone five, there are forty. The combined population of all the sub-counties and affiliated county towns is close to 300,000.

of course,

The immediate cause of astonishment

I still didn't expect it.

before this,

The requirement for upgrading the city lord's mansion used to be the population of the county it belonged to, but now it has become the population of the entire force, which is definitely a good thing for Han Yilin.

As for the materials needed for the upgrade

It looks like a lot.

But in reality, there are just as many.

However, given Zhatian County's abundant resource reserves, this is hardly a problem.

"Lift!"

Since the upgrade conditions are met,

There's no reason why they shouldn't be promoted.

[Upgrade the City Lord's Mansion by consuming 10 Wood, 20 Stone, and 10 Silver?]

Estimated completion time: 6 days

"Holy crap, does upgrading really take six days?"

Original plan,

But thinking about sending troops in three days...

But looking at it now, it seems a bit slow to launch an attack if we wait until after the upgrade.

but,

He should be promoted if he deserves it.

"upgrade."

After confirmation,

A prompt appears.

[Do you want to watch GG to shorten this construction time?]

[After viewing, the current construction queue time will be reduced by 50%.]

"Shortening it by half would still take three days."

"See..."

This answer,

Weak and listless.

however,

When the GG content appeared on the screen, Han Yilin instantly perked up.

Mainly the first act of GG,

Visual style

It's somewhat similar to the previous game I watched, but the timeline has shifted from the Warring States period to the Republic of China period.

In the screen,

It's still that same face.

He looks exactly like the cook who makes stewed pigeons. He's staring blankly at the camera, his inner monologue probably: "My name is Sima Ganglie, damn it, can't you give me a better name?"

"Legend has it that my ancestor was a cook who died heroically during the Warring States period. As a descendant of a hero, I am obviously ashamed."

"However, our king is right behind him, this guy... things are not good."

At this time,

Another person rushed into the tent: "Your Majesty."

The king tilted his head back and said, "Don't call me 'King,' call me 'Commander,' okay?"

Soldier: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The enemy is coming!"

"What?"

The king slammed his fist on the table again, "Damn these wretches! Wait for my communications headquarters to send troops to rescue us, encircle us from two sides, and turn the tide of battle!"

Click,

The voice just fell,

Sima Ganglie twisted the telephone crank, plunging the atmosphere into awkwardness once again.

The king roared, "You traitor! You've betrayed us and cut off our reinforcements! You collaborator!"

"Oh dear, oh dear~"

......

Familiar, funny, comical

Others don't know,

Anyway, Han Yilin was watching it with great interest. The important thing was that this was actually a TV series.

It picks up exactly where the previous timeline left off.

If you look at it that way...

Han Yilin even suspected that the next guy might have connections to a triad.

This suspicion,

quickly,

This was confirmed.

The main reason was that after Han Yilin confirmed the upgrade of the City Lord's Mansion, he looked at the building list and belatedly realized that many buildings in the county town could now be upgraded.

For a time,

Han Yilin was extremely busy.

Military classifications include barracks, stables, drill grounds, military camps, and training grounds...

The categories of common people include brothels, restaurants, teahouses, bathhouses, theaters, gambling dens, clothing stores, tailor shops, jewelry stores, pawnshops...

The workshops are categorized as follows: mills, wineries, vinegar mills, carpentry workshops, lime kilns, charcoal kilns...

Various categories,

Buildings of all sizes combined,

There must be several hundred.

And this doesn't even include residential houses. If you include these things, the number would be several thousand.

among them,

It's fortunate that there are no special buildings.

Buildings such as Huaqing Pool, Cewu Training Academy, and Xibingku Grand Restaurant are special buildings with fixed levels and cannot be upgraded further.

and,

The thought of having to go through this again in a couple of days made Han Yilin's eyes feel dry.

There are no peripherals like a mouse to control the light screen; you have to select it by looking at it repeatedly.

After this selection process,

My eyes are really tired.

This is not,

While doing eye exercises, Han Yilin wondered if those people who could kill someone for three days and three nights without blinking ever got dry eyes.

"Damn it."

"There are so many buildings."

Thinking back to the very beginning,

When it was upgraded to a second-level county town,

There are no such buildings in the county; the place is completely empty. I just glanced around and selected them all.

Unlike now,

The various categories of buildings are diverse.

Choosing each one by one with your eyes is exhausting.

When they arrived at the market, Han Yilin was even somewhat relieved that the market was considered a single building.

otherwise,

If you had to choose from each shop inside, your eyes would be completely ruined.

very beginning,

When the market was first built,

Han Yilin was unaware of the market's purpose. Later, as trade routes opened, more and more chambers of commerce moved in.

nowadays,

As a fourth-level market

There are forty shops inside.

From the very beginning, a general store and an armor shop,

Later, they successively opened a stationery shop, a fish market, a ceramics shop, a rouge shop...

These ones,

These are all symbols of the prosperity of Zhatian County.

Every shop

All of these resources continuously provide financial income for Zhatian County.

But the response,

Because of its excessive prosperity, there were far too many buildings constructed. Han Yilin had to select each building with his eyes, then click to upgrade it, and then click to confirm after a pop-up prompt box appeared.

Repeated actions,

Back and forth,

I finally finished a set of eye exercises.

After his eye strain subsided slightly, Han Yilin continued operating the system, clicking to upgrade all the remaining buildings.

"Phew~"

"Finally finished."

At last,

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Yilin selected "OK" on the upgrade interface.

next moment,

Let’s go out.

[Do you want to watch GG to shorten this construction time?]

[After viewing, the current construction queue time will be reduced by 50%.]

"look!"

......

On the light screen,

Han Yilin laughed the moment he saw the word "GG" at the beginning.

"You guessed right."

"Plum Blossom Melody, huh? You turned a perfectly good guy into a TV series."

The regret of not being able to finish watching it earlier

It was all swept away at this moment.

In the picture,

beginning,

It remains the same historical context.

[Club Period - 1993 AD]

It was the same familiar face, the same expressionless face, and his inner monologue.

"My name is Sima Gang*. Alas... it is said that my grandfather was a communications soldier who bravely sacrificed his life during the War of Resistance against Japan."

"As a descendant of a hero, I am obviously somewhat ashamed, but behind me is our king."

"This guy..."

The narrator said this,

Screen switching,

It was the same familiar scene: a person shaped like a gourd, with wide eyes and a crooked mouth, sitting upright at the mahjong table.

At this time,

Another person rushed in, anxiously calling out, "Your Majesty!"

The king turned his head and said coldly, "Don't call me king, call me Lord Haonan. What is it?"

The henchman shouted, "Sneak attack! Sneak attack! Dongxing is coming!"

"What?!"

The king immediately stood up and shouted sternly, "Wait until I gather my brothers, we'll converge from four directions, encircle and annihilate them from two sides, and turn defeat into victory!"

While speaking,

The henchmen around him were all making phone calls to call for reinforcements.

suddenly,

The screen paused.

Suddenly, the king's gaze fell on Sima Gang*, who was wearing a black jacket, with a cast on his left hand and a small wrench in his right. He looked sleazy and guilty.

The two looked at each other,

Memories of his past life flashed through Sima Gang's mind like a revolving lantern.

Subsequently,

He weakly explained, "I didn't do anything."

however,

This time,

Without any reason, the king, his face contorted with rage, shouted, "You worthless bastard!"

After all,

Raise the iron bar,

"Oh dear, oh dear~"

Sima Gong*, died.

......

The series of GG episodes is like a soap opera.

It really made Han Yilin laugh.

"I can't help it, even after all these years, I still laugh every time I see it."

"Speaking of which, this thing's 'GG' is indeed quite old. If I'm not mistaken, the later part should be the 'GG' content of a voice chat application, right?"

"It's all part of youth~"

In a moment of reflection,

Han Yilin really misses those carefree days of youth when he could play games with his friends every day.

at this time,

GG is over.

A notification popped up, stating that the construction time for all buildings had been reduced by half.

Han Yilin glanced at the list of buildings.

With the current population of Zhatian County,

That's enough to support the upgrade of all buildings at the same time. At least until the City Lord's Mansion is fully upgraded, these buildings can be completed ahead of time.

By the time,

Then you can repeat the same steps again.

"I really can't save my eyes."

A helpless smile.

Han Yilin closed the building list and then looked at the barracks.

After thinking about it,

They weren't in a hurry to recruit soldiers.

Since it's not time for war yet, recruiting and expanding the army now will only waste food resources for no reason.

Especially special forces,

Furthermore, there's no need to start training from the militia; they can be recruited directly to form combat capabilities.

In this case,

It's better to wait three days.

It's not too late to recruit soldiers after Zhatian County is upgraded to a prefecture city.

to be frank,

Han Yilin was genuinely curious about what it would be like after being upgraded to a county city. He also wondered if the name "Zhatian County" would directly become "Zhatian County" or "Zhatian City" after the upgrade.

Regardless of which one,

sound,

It was definitely explosive, but it felt a bit silly.
