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

at dusk,

Cheng Murou led the team back to Zhatian County.

More than a thousand soldiers filed in through the west gate.

After a day of continuous combat, the soldiers all looked visibly exhausted.

This battle,

For Han Yilin,

It can be considered a very fruitful harvest.

Not counting level 5 land, the mulberry garden alone not only unlocked the textile workshop, but also allowed Zhatian County to produce the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

When,

The combat power is definitely a qualitative leap.

Welcoming Cheng Murou

They also invited Xiao Qiyin, and the three of them had dinner and then soaked in Huaqing Pool for a while.

When it got completely dark...

At this time,

The City Lord's Mansion has finally been upgraded.

The familiar notification sounded.

【Ding! 】

[The City Lord's Mansion has been successfully upgraded!]

[Zhatian County has been promoted to a third-tier county!]

The maximum building level within the territory has been increased to Lv.3.

[Unlock New Buildings]:

[Street Life]: Gambling dens, brothels, theaters, bathhouses, teahouses, bookstores, pawnshops...

[People's Livelihood]: Watchtowers, mortuaries, livestock farms, fishing households, leather workshops, saddlery workshops...

A series of prompts,

It made Han Yilin's eyes blurry.

especially,

Newly unlocked buildings,

dazzled,

They were piled up in dense rows, and Han Yilin didn't have time to look at them at all.

of course,

The biggest change

It's still about your own surroundings.

At the same moment the notification appeared, a dazzling golden light appeared in the sky above Zhatian County.

A beam of light shot into the sky.

then,

Spread outwards,

In a blink of an eye,

The moment the light faded, the area of ​​Zhatian County expanded significantly outwards.

The length of the four city walls has increased significantly, and even their height and thickness have been increased accordingly.

at this time,

If someone were standing on the city wall looking down...

The area within the city has clearly expanded compared to before.

Most importantly, the expanded areas are mostly empty land where no buildings have ever been constructed.

later,

Whether it's continuing to build houses and workshops, or dividing up new urban areas, there's no need to worry about the location anymore.

among them,

The biggest change

It was naturally still the City Lord's Mansion.

very beginning,

When Han Yilin first arrived in Zhatian County, the so-called City Lord's Mansion was nothing more than a small, dilapidated courtyard with drafts everywhere.

The wall collapsed.

The roof is damaged.

Even the bedrooms were barely habitable.

Only after upgrading to level two can it be considered a proper residence.

But now,

However, it evolved directly into a real mansion.

In front of the tall gatehouse,

Two stone beasts stand on the left and right sides,

The vermilion gate is inlaid with neat copper nails.

Enter it,

The first thing that catches the eye is a screen wall.

Behind the screen wall, there are front courtyards, main halls, side halls, meeting rooms, studies, storerooms, and so on, all complete.

Further on,

That was the inner courtyard where Han Yilin lived.

Although Huaqing Pool remained in its original location, the surrounding gardens were also expanded, making the entire city lord's mansion several times larger than before.

Looking at the completely transformed scene before me,

Han Yilin was a little dazed.

"Holy crap..."

"Now this is what a city lord's mansion should be like."

"That thing before could only be considered a village chief's office at best."

however,

There wasn't even time for Han Yilin to examine it carefully.

A more eye-catching notification appeared directly in the world chat channel.

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to 'Zhatian County' for becoming the first faction in the entire server to be promoted to a Level 3 county!]

【奖励：粮食×50000、木材×50000、石料×50000、铁矿×50000、铜钱×100000、鲁班尺（金）】

[Luban Ruler] (Gold)

[Type]: Construction Curio

[Effect]: During the term of office of the county magistrate, the construction and upgrade time of all buildings in the territory is reduced by 20%.

......

The announcement was displayed three times in a row.

Right now,

Han Yilin was completely dumbfounded.

Or,

I was enveloped in an immense pleasure, and felt like I was flying with ecstasy.

Although I had thought that there would be rewards for upgrading to the third-level city lord's mansion, I never expected it to be so generous.

One hundred thousand copper coins, plus two hundred thousand various resources, and a golden artifact.

Each one,

All of these can accelerate the development of the county town.

In particular, the 50,000 units of grain relieved the grain pressure in Zhatian County for several days.

"So comfortable~"

Han Yilin felt like he was floating.

but,

He didn't forget the important matter, though.

I just saw it.

After the upgrade,

Having unlocked a bunch of buildings, Han Yilin had a sudden thought, and the interface on the screen in front of him switched to the building list.

however,

While Han Yilin was inspecting the new building,

In the chat channel,

Like a nuclear explosion,

Everyone was stunned by the announcement that had just been made.

"No, how many? A third-tier county town?"

"Holy crap, Zhatian County already has five thousand people?"

"Good heavens, Blue Silver County just triggered an announcement, and now Sky Explosion County is doing it again. Are these two counties competing with each other?"

"What's the point of arguing? What makes Blue Silver County compare to Explosive Sky County?"

"I just don't understand, the server has only been open for 19 days, how did Zhatian County manage to get 5,000 people?"

"What's so hard to understand? You recruit every day, even if it's just a level one soup kitchen, and now you have 1900 people. That doesn't even include recruiting soldiers. Besides, Zhatian County was upgraded to a level two county a long time ago, so its population is definitely higher than ours."

"Sigh, don't even mention it. I feel like I'm not playing the same game as them."

"Ordinary people shouldn't even think about competing. They should be thinking about the rebel attack in ten days. If things go wrong, it could really be fatal."

"This game is terrible! It's trash. Doesn't anyone care if someone's cheating?"

"..."

at the same time,

Lanyin County.

daytime,

Tang Yue, who was envied and praised by everyone because of the server-wide announcement, was happy for less than a day, and now the smile on his face has completely disappeared.

I don't know if it was because I was too angry,

Tang Yue's five fingers

Clutching each other tightly,

His once handsome features were now completely distorted, making him look incredibly ferocious.

"Bombing Tian County..."

"How is that possible? How many soldiers does he have? He already has five thousand people!"
