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

One day later,

early morning,

After upgrading the county town, the soup kitchens can no longer recruit refugees, which also makes it impossible to complete the daily tasks.

This made Han Yilin,

It's rare to have a quiet morning.

but,

Regarding last night's fire

There is still some cleanup work to be done, which is basically rebuilding the building. Han Yilin can do this directly in the building interface while lying in bed.

Click once,

Reconstruction... of course, cannot be completed instantly.

But it allows you to watch GG, which reduces the rebuild time by half.

"Sniper dogs are the strongest!!!"

Han Yilin watched the thirty seconds without expression. After closing the pop-up notification, he turned to look at Chu Wanyan beside him. She seemed quite tired yesterday, as she was still asleep.

Since I had nothing else to do anyway,

After thinking about it,

Han Yilin then opened the chat channel, thinking he would take a look.

just,

Yesterday's server-wide announcement triggered by the upgrade of the county city has kept the discussion about the county city going.

"100,000 people... I don't even have 10,000 right now. It'll be ages before I can upgrade."

"I heard that these 100,000 people do not refer to a single county; it only requires that the total population of the territory exceeds 100,000."

"Who told you that?"

"Then don't worry about it, believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Sigh~ I'm really worried right now. It feels like the whole world is fighting. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on some big shot in the future, otherwise I won't be able to survive at all."

"Actually, there is another way. You can choose to join forces with NPCs. My cousin from my aunt's side said that he joined forces with a prince and is now doing very well. However, he has less autonomy and cannot send troops at will."

"No, your cousin isn't from our area, is he?"

"Nonsense, of course not. Given the current situation of Jing Kingdom, only the Pingtian Army can surrender to them."

"Wait a minute, how did you find out about what happened in other areas?"

"Are you stupid? You can add them as friends. You can't see the chat channels in other areas, but you can add them as friends and chat privately. Just search for their names and find them in there."

"This should be basic stuff, right? Surely no one still doesn't know this? My brother and I have been talking about it for a month now, and all I can say is that in other areas, some are already in complete chaos, while others are still quietly developing."

"Is there a unified system for the whole thing?"

"That's unlikely. In one region, there were 10,000 players at the start, and it hasn't been that long. Zhatian County has developed so quickly and it hasn't even been unified yet. How could other regions possibly be?"

"If this trend continues, wars will inevitably break out between different regions in the later stages."

"I guess so, but before that, we definitely have to resolve the conflict with the NPCs. After all, the NPCs can't let us develop without limits. By the time we unify the region, they'll probably have already established their own kingdoms and become emperors."

"..."

Bombing Tianjun

Han Yilin lay on the bed,

Looking through the messages in the chat channel one by one,

have to say,

This time,

I learned quite a bit of information from it, especially by adding friends and having private chats to learn about things in other regions.

Actually, before this,

Han Yilin also wanted to come over, but there really weren't many friends he could add, so he didn't try.

Look at it this way,

Many people have learned about things they didn't know through this method.

just,

For other regions

Han Yilin felt that the players' development should be roughly the same, the only significant difference being the background of the country they belong to.

Like,

In the Jing Kingdom where they are currently located,

The country was crumbling and on the verge of collapse, with only a deposed empress struggling to hold it up, and a change of dynasty was imminent.

As for the existence of rebels in other regions, the strength of the imperial court certainly varied.

In contrast,

What Han Yilin cares about more is

If in the future,

Having helped the Empress regain her kingdom, should he remain a loyal subject who supports her, or should he, after things have progressed to a certain point, plot to seize power and usurp the throne?

even,

If I had witnessed the coronation myself...

It unified the surrounding countries.

Then at that time

If I continue to expand outwards, will I encounter players from other regions?

In the chat channel,

Some players have said that the game will eventually turn into a chaotic war between player factions, and Han Yilin agrees with this.

after all,

The player's development is too fast.

say nothing else,

Just for myself,

In less than two months, they went from having nothing to now having tens of thousands of troops and controlling hundreds of thousands of people.

If this pace of development continues,

Conflicts with local forces are inevitable, and given the players' personalities, they certainly won't be willing to submit to others.

Even more so,

Han Yilin was certain that

Those who claim to align themselves with certain forces are definitely doing so for personal gain. Once they've grown stronger and more powerful, they'll most likely be discarded.

Even I... don't I think the same way?

Help Ji Yun fight against the Pingtian army.

Is it really loyalty?

Stop joking.

It's not purely for the mission rewards. Including the so-called merit of following the dragon, once you really have the strength to unify the world, how could you possibly resist sitting on that dragon throne?

The emperor is the one with the strongest army and the most powerful horses.

Right now,

Han Yilin was actually looking forward to the scene of competing for supremacy with players from other regions in the future.

As for the present situation...

After looking at the chat channel,

Resale

Han Yilin switched to the "Bombing Alliance" group chat. Compared to the outside world where people often talked about the world situation and regional hegemony, the group chat was much more down-to-earth.

"By the way, what did the boss mean by what he posted in the group last night? Did he take in a strategist or a concubine?"

"I'm more curious about what they look like."

"Is that even a question? Anyone who gets kept by the boss's side, how bad could their looks be?"

That makes sense.

"What are you saying? Is our boss the kind of person who only cares about looks?"

"Ask me again, putting your hand on your heart."

"..."

Han Yilin: "???"

See here,

Han Yilin's face twitched.

Oh shit.

What image do you have of Lao Tzu?

Their strategies are quite good too; they even specifically emphasized the term "strategist." Why is everyone focusing on looks?

That sounds like...

If my looks aren't good enough, well... fine, Han Yilin said, he accepts it.

If the price is too low, it doesn't mean they don't like you, but they definitely won't stay by your side.

At this time,

In the group chat,

Suddenly someone spoke up, "By the way, when are you guys planning to go?"

"I've already set off, and I estimate I'll arrive tomorrow morning."

"I'm a bit far from here, but as long as I arrive on time, it'll be fine."

"Take it easy, don't be late. If something happens on the way and you're delayed, you'll have no one to blame but yourself."

"That's true. I'd better pack up now and get ready to leave."

"By the way, since this is our first formal banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, shouldn't we bring something?"

Once this question was raised,

In the group chat,

Silence fell immediately.

After a while, someone finally spoke up: "Going empty-handed is indeed a bit inappropriate, but the problem is we don't have anything worth bringing."

"Silver? Jewelry? Tobacco and alcohol?"

"Smoking and drinking? Do you think we have cigarettes or toilet paper here?"

"High-quality wines should be alright. I opened a treasure chest a while ago and got a purple-quality tiger bone wine, which is very nourishing."

"This is good, I think the boss will like it."

"I'm super powerful, but I really don't have anything worth mentioning. If all else fails, how about sending a woman? She's a special talent I just recruited, and she's not bad looking."

"What are you guys talking about? Can't you be normal? At the very least, it should be a special prop."

"The point is, I don't have it. Do you think I don't want to?"

"..."

Looking at this group of people,

Everyone is having a headache over how to give gifts.

Han Yilin couldn't bear it either, so he spoke in the group: "Alright, stop worrying about it. We sent you here with your troops to fight. Tomorrow is just a meal for everyone to get to know each other. Gifts and such are not important."

"Besides, I have a bad memory. I definitely can't remember what you've given me, but I will definitely remember clearly what you haven't given me."

The first half of the sentence,

Players in the group saw that

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, since players with poor development really didn't have much to offer.

result,

Once the second half of the sentence was uttered,

They were so angry they laughed.

Damn it!

This isn't just hinting at giving a gift; it's practically an open invitation.
