Please ask the dream.

Chapter 683: The residents want to make progress
Back to the big map, Feng Xue was about to cross the sky when he noticed there was an aperture in the upper right corner. Then he remembered that today's "Decision" had not been used yet.

"I didn't use any decision-making, but I still managed to achieve 'occupation'. It seems that in addition to regular combat, you can also gain occupation through 'talking', 'bribery' and other behaviors."

Although he said so, Feng Xue had no intention of using the Philosopher's Stone to buy off the entire Dreamland.

After all, there are only a few kings who can trade calmly, and these kings may not necessarily have enough control.

According to the stereotype of martial arts novels, heroes are usually free-spirited and wander the world alone with swords, and at most have a few good friends and female lovers. And those big guys who are able to own a large amount of territory and establish many forces, even if they are not villains, are at least gloomy people.

As a collection of stereotypes, Dreamland would naturally inherit this characteristic. Feng Xue had no doubt that those who could be bribed by him with the Philosopher's Stone were basically self-employed individuals, while those big guys who occupied the territories would most likely be robbed directly.

Currently, there are only three landmarks that have not been lit up on the Wangjiang map: the lower reaches of Jinshui River, Yangui Valley and Dinglin. Conservatively estimated, it will take six points of action to light up all three, which means at least two days of exploration time.

In other words, if you want to click on all the landmarks in the entire map, you must minimize the risk of yourself and the city falling in these "two days".

Thinking of this, Feng Xue simply gave up the decision and ended today's exploration.

The map switched between day and night again, and a line of text appeared as expected:

[Since you did not issue any development decisions, the residents of Faceless City have fully exerted their subjective initiative, Prosperity +4, Reputation +10. ]

[Your reputation has spread widely in Wangjiang area, boosting the business of Wumian City, prosperity +12. ]

[The existence of the Faceless City has made all major forces feel threatened. ]

[A small group of unknown forces launched a tentative attack on the Faceless City. Do you want to consume 1 action point to return to the city to fight? Yes/No. ]

"Hey, hey, are you guys too ambitious? Do you have to be so proactive?" Looking at the sudden surge in prosperity and fame, Feng Xue felt unwell. Just now it was just an undercurrent, but suddenly it became like a tiger hugging a dragon.

"It seems that it's not good for city residents to be too eager for progress..." Feng Xue sighed and glanced at the Faceless City, which had expanded to occupy three grids and was even bigger than the stationed [Upstream of the Golden Water]. Feng Xue decisively clicked no.

[The unknown forces' attempts were easily thwarted. The residents, who were proficient in various practical skills, pried out a lot of information from the captured enemies. They unanimously decided to retaliate. The influence of the Faceless City increased. Prosperity +12 (Grass!)]

"Brother, stop it!" Looking at the city's prosperity level which had soared to 59, Feng Xue was completely stunned. It seemed as if it was only points "yesterday"?

Aren’t you developing too fast?

Feng Xue couldn't help but complain in his heart and clicked on Baishiling again. Although the speed of his hand would not affect the development of the plot, he still subconsciously sped up.

This time the boat ride was very smooth. The little man on the screen went down the river and arrived directly in front of the next landmark——

[You discovered Jinshui Downstream·Guanhai Pavilion, you decided——]

1. Exploration

【2. Tips】

【3. Take a boat】

[IV. Occupation]

"Are these standard options?" Feng Xue took a glance but didn't choose any of them.

Once you make a choice, you will have to consume action points. Anyway, the landmark has been lit up, so just go to the next one!
Unfortunately, the lower reaches of Jinshui River are already the easternmost part of Wangjiang waterway. Further east is the estuary, and the only way forward is by land.

So... [Emergency Operation]

The grid in front of him bounced up like an anti-infantry mine and directly wrapped the chess piece. Feng Xue's eyes went dark and he had already arrived at the node.

I could still hear the sound of the river rushing, but in front of me was a burly bald donkey.

The bald donkey had a tattoo of a number six on his head (a scar from the ordination ceremony! That was a scar from the ordination ceremony!), and was wearing a fine cassock. He raised one hand as if he was about to perform a palm strike, but he was saying:
"Donor, you are full of evil spirits, and you have entered the devil's way. It is better to let it go..."

"I'll let your grandma go!"

Feng Xue raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for the bald donkey to finish speaking, he stretched out his hand and a sharp sword stabbed out in an instant.

This sword is not Mo Ran, but a sword tailor-made for Mo Ran by the elders of the Sword-Forging Villa after they observed alchemy and alchemy and took reference from him.

Its name——

【monologue】!
Compared to the Mo Ran sword, this sword is closer in shape to the Song sword in the previous life. The blade is shorter and bright silver all over, which is closer to the weapon used by swordsmen in the traditional impression.

When the sword was thrust out, it was like a white rainbow cutting through the sky, as if everything in the world was eclipsed.

The world is dyed in ink, and I am the only one speaking.

That dazzling light was just like the murderous intent in the sword.

Seeing Feng Xue's lack of martial ethics, Bald Donkey put his hands together, and a golden air shield visible to the naked eye immediately expanded. However, this seemingly strong protection was cut by Feng Xue's sword tip at the slightest contact, and the smoothness was no different from that of the cut air.

This monologue does not have attributes such as the ability to break defenses. Apart from its solidity and sharpness made possible by advanced forging techniques, its only characteristic is that it is [easy to use].

If it comes in handy, Feng Xue can even use it as a hand!
The tip of the sword turned slightly, and a subtle arc was drawn. There was no need for any extra rotation. Just the tiny displacement of the sword tip was enough for Feng Xue to perform a golden spin.

The rotating force twisted the bald donkey's defense, and with just a slight effort, the twisted node suddenly collapsed.

As he took a step forward, the sword light split into three. When holding the monologue in his hand, Feng Xue did not even need those suggestive movements to be able to use the structure that previously required specific postures.

The sword light that blocked all the escape routes made the six parts of the big monk's head twisted. His robes suddenly swelled up, and he rolled up his energy to meet the sword light, but Feng Xue's attention was always on the huge bald head. Even though the robes blocked his vision for a short time, he still caught sight of the bald head who took the opportunity to escape!
then……

A flash!
The three sword lights suddenly changed direction and merged into one, drawing a Z-shaped sword and slashing diagonally. A beam of blood splattered and the bald donkey's body retreated several steps. A deep blood mark appeared from his left shoulder downwards.

"Tsk, is it too shallow?"

Feng Xue flicked the sword lightly, and spots of blood fell from the edge of the sword. The overly smooth experience made him unable to put it down, so much so that for a moment, he even forgot to use the structure to strengthen this attack.

but……

"There won't be a next time!"

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm going to..."

"Shut up! Don't surrender! Die!"
