Please ask the dream.

Chapter 648: Chess Mode
Although many unreliable ideas popped up in his mind, considering that this was his first attempt, Feng Xue still chose a more serious name.

[Are you sure you want to name the city 'Baiyujing'? Yes/No]

"determine."

As the final choice was made, the screen suddenly began to flicker, and lines of text appeared -

[Generating city background...]

[Building the city framework...]

[Importing city projection...]

【Import completed.】

[According to legend, an immortal once descended on the banks of the Jinshui River and left behind his legacy. Many years later, a man from the Jianghu passed by here and got a chance to become an immortal. He acquired some skills and decided to use this as a starting point to build his business. The story of Baiyujing also began from then on...]

As the text slowly unfolded, the picture in front of Feng Xue's eyes changed. It was a "God's perspective" similar to Civilization and Warcraft, and now it was a simple map made up of grids, similar to Monopoly.

A small city covering one grid stands on the south bank of a river that is dozens of grids wide. To the west of the city, there is a city covering five grids. To the northeast is a rolling mountain range, to the southwest is a large forest, and to the southeast is a road that leads directly to the end of the valley.

However, what attracted Feng Xue's attention more was the brand new UI interface.

This UI is somewhat similar to the Secret Front. In the upper right corner is a disc divided into thirty grids. In the center of the disc are three light spots arranged in a "∵" shape. Outside the light spots is a golden circle. Below it is a thumbnail of a city, and further down is a bust of a person who looks 70% like Feng Xue, and a small map showing the dreamland of the entire Heshuo area. According to the above content, Feng Xue is now in just a small area in the center of Heshuo.

"What Heroes of Might and Magic?" Feng Xue looked at the interface and suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu. However, he soon noticed that under the character bust and the city thumbnail, there was something that looked like a health bar, but it was empty at the moment. Focusing his attention on it, he found that the city's health bar was called [Prosperity], and the character's health bar was called [Reputation].

When he focuses his attention on the city icon, the screen will directly give a bird's-eye view of a small city, and a text prompt [Do you want to consume decision points to make a decision? ] will pop up.

When focusing on the character icon, you will return to the large map interface, and the center of the screen is exactly the chess piece on the village corresponding to Baiyujing.

"I see. This is the way to play war chess, right? You consume action points to move around the chessboard, and build towns at the same time. What are the conditions for victory? Capture Wangjiang City? Or is it a map coloring game?" Feng Xue's mind was filled with various ways to play similar games, but no matter what, he could only give it a try first.

But before that...

He quit Goldfinger first.

"Interesting... The Utopia didn't move, but it has established a connection with the surface of the Dreamland. It feels... a little familiar."

Feng Xue felt his own ideal country, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He also roughly understood the mechanism of this golden finger.

If it is said in the Creator's rules that the architect will be given a character card when exploring the Dreamland, then the city that the golden finger has placed on the surface of the Dreamland is the character card of his ideal country.

The two are related, but not identical, which made Feng Xue relax a lot.

This at least means that the destruction of the city in the Golden Finger will not affect his real ideal country, nor will it interfere with his plan to transfer consciousness.

After understanding this, Feng Xue immediately returned to the golden finger, and when he touched the chess piece with his thoughts and tried to move it, he was given a corresponding text prompt - [Do you want to consume a little action power to move the chess piece? ]

"Is that really the case? Considering that Night Owl adds a little action power, it should be one point in the morning and one point in the afternoon. So the three dots of "∵" are the number of moves of the chess piece every day? And thirty squares are probably thirty days, just like the Secret Front? So a total of ninety moves?"

Feng Xue counted the map. Excluding his own main city, the number of paths plus the grids occupied by each city was exactly 90 points. However, this obviously did not mean that no points could be wasted. After all, each area had at least two paths. In other words, if an area was only entered once, two roads were enough, and those with more than two paths could actually be ignored.

Of course, it is also possible that some unimportant areas need to be abandoned, but no matter how much you think about it, there will be no answer.

After once again complaining about the poor guidance function of his own golden finger, Feng Xue decided to try it himself.

Although when playing Heroes of Might and Magic, he would build the main city first except when he needed to buy soldiers or learn magic, in other cases he would use up the hero's mobility before considering town construction, but without knowing whether there would be any impact after the character left the city, Feng Xue still clicked on the town option first——

[Should decision points be consumed to make a decision? ]

"Yes!"

As the command was issued, a row of options popped up -

1. Operation

2. Publicity

3. Exploration

4. War (grey is not selectable)
Seeing that the gray option was unavailable, Feng Xue clicked it immediately, and then a text popped up:

【No applicable objects.】

Feng Xue tried to click on the other three options. Management is a traditional management simulation, where you can choose to send out caravans, operate industries, hold events and so on. Promotion is more interesting, where you can choose [Promote the City] and [Promote the Individual]. From the perspective of martial arts novels, promoting an individual means publicizing one's reputation in the martial arts world, such as the world's number one hero or the jade-faced young man. This should enhance the character's reputation. As for promoting the city, combined with the previous city characteristics, it should attract more residents of the Dreamland to travel or settle here.

As for the final exploration, this is more complicated. The text description is to send the residents in the city to explore the surrounding area. Based on the gaming experience in the previous life, Feng Xue thought that this should be an option to discover ruins, treasures or resources.

However, there are currently no residents visible in the bird's-eye view of the city. Feng Xue thought for a moment and finally clicked on the most unfamiliar [Propaganda City].

[The news about Bai Yujing began to spread in the martial arts world.]

"Is that the end?" Feng Xue frowned, feeling a little puzzled, but he put it aside for the time being and turned his attention back to his own chess pieces.

then……

[Do you want to spend 1 action point to visit [Bai Yu Jing]? ]

"What the hell, I have to use up my mobility just to go back to my own home?"
