You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Feng Tianyin usually acts so inhumanly that even Yu Xue is surprised, and everyone else will surely be amazed when they find out.

"Heaven should be pleased to see that I am growing; this feeling is very clear."

The gray-haired girl stretched out her five fingers toward the sky, then clenched them.

Strong and powerful.

The psionic energy is increasing slightly, with a very small increase, but over a long time frame, this quantitative change is leading to a qualitative change. For example, in this battle with the number one barbarian warrior, I didn't feel that the difference in strength was that great.

Feng Tianyin understood that one of the tasks was her own personal growth; to put it bluntly, the Great Qian civilization was merely an accessory.

But she felt that Heaven would like the development here and the sense of accomplishment.

"Sir, there's a shooting star!"

"Under ideal night sky conditions, a person can see 5 meteors per hour. The probability follows the distribution formula P(k) = (λeA)/k..."

Yu Xue sighed, rubbing her forehead, and interrupted her by pulling on her sleeve. At the same time, she stood on the balcony and pointed with a smile in the distance:

"What matters is your feeling. What are your thoughts?"

"I'm so lucky."

Chapter 33 Good Fortune Arrives

Xia He attaches great importance to the second city of Daqian.

The name Cuiwei City, symbolizing "forests," had already been decided upon, and its significance was second only to the initial city-state, marking the first step in expansion.

Moreover, without it guarding the mountain pass and protecting the entire plain behind it, it would be truly uneasy.

Moreover, Civilization Evolution offers a high degree of freedom. Players can choose to either be too lazy to manage the "one-click city building" or "pre-plan" and then paste it on. She planned the main city area and main roads.

Only then was he satisfied.

Could it be that Feng Tianyin's fondness for the realistic "City skyline" is a result of inheriting the creator's preferences?

In short, the underlying logic design for the future Cuiwei City template is complete.

This is a gift from the will of Heaven, absolutely reliable. Future expansion of the new urban area will also be centered around it, turning it into a bustling metropolis.

The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.

"...The people of Daqian haven't settled in on a large scale yet, so we should make some minor adjustments."

So Xia He reorganized the entire core area and reinforced the city walls. As for the rumbling noises that the NPCs perceived, that was no longer a concern; you'll get used to it gradually.

"Could it be another act of divine grace?"

Those who felt the tremor, whether slaves or soldiers, all bowed to the sky, daring not to show any negligence.

"If we can't see the auspicious clouds, they must be very faint, indicating only a small amount of blessing?"

"In this state, only the High Priest can discern whether the divine will has descended. Let us observe the situation and remain at our posts."

"That's true."

Xia He revisited the original city-building template, and her brow furrowed in dismay.

"Sigh, never mind, it's better to use the first version."

With a thought, aside from the already stacked attributes such as sturdiness, defense, and buffs, the overall plan returned to its original state, and the future development was left to them.

There is another reason for carefully organizing the city: in the initial stage of city building, the higher the city's attributes, the wider its field of vision.

The fog on the map has lifted a bit more.

In reality, this is called an "economic radiation zone," which in the game translates into a field of vision and additional benefits to surrounding areas.

Xia He immediately dragged the mouse to check the newly unlocked fog area.

"Tsk."

The girl clicked her tongue in amazement: "There are still mountains on the other side of the mountain. This geographical environment isn't very good."

She's the kind of player who places great importance on the starting civilization's spawn point; if she's not satisfied, she'll jump straight to the next game. The Great Qian start was high, but the future map prospects might significantly lower her score, depending on how deep the Dragon Vein Mountain is.

If this is all, then it can still be considered a barrier protecting civilization.

If this continues, it will actually hinder external exchanges and communication.

"If a railway line is planned... thankfully, it goes through the valley floor, otherwise it would cost too much money to build a tunnel."

Areas that are not economically viable should be abandoned outright.

Xia He scratched her head and continued dragging the view, thinking to herself that her left and right brains were fighting each other—she was both concerned about the fog of war and curious about getting full vision with a single click. Oh well, maintaining an air of mystery is what showcases skill. She was just casually performing the actions she had after gaining a foothold in each game:

[Order the reconnaissance unit to search for the ocean.]

[Xiangnan]

By dragging the map along the horizontal axis, one can roughly guess that it is located in the northern region, while the ocean is generally in the south, especially since the map reflects a distribution similar to reality.

After all, in order to make a large amount of training data from reality usable, the geographical differences cannot be too great.

Half of history is geography.

A reconnaissance squad at the Xiayi training ground immediately tensed up and resolutely headed south. Normally, a squad-level troop movement requires approval from higher command, but everyone seemed oblivious and made way for them.

They didn't even notice that they dared to set off without bringing enough water and dry food.

Feng Tianyin, who was sitting in the temple, suddenly put down the bamboo scroll in her hand, shaded her eyes with her hand and looked into the distance, her mechanical pupils quickly adjusting their focus.

"Psionic power?"

He left after linking up with a reconnaissance team.

At the same time, checking the Civilization panel [Current Agenda: External Exploration] revealed the answer.

There's no need to worry about elite scouts. With the Heavenly Will specifically controlling a unit, it's practically a blessed state. You won't need to carry rations or weapons, and no wild beasts will dare to attack you.

Moreover, the reconnaissance team is guaranteed favorable weather throughout the entire journey, with clear skies and abundant resources. When they are hungry, prey will appear, and when they are thirsty, streams will appear.

After years of summarizing, Feng Tianyin named it:

Good fortune is coming!

If Heaven assigns a task to a certain unit, then it's unlikely that anything unexpected will happen before you complete it.

The so-called three elements: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Heaven and Earth will surely respond to the will of Heaven and open the door to good fortune, which is called "good luck", but there are limits, such as encountering the "human" barrier.

More than one reconnaissance team has died at the hands of barbarians.

Actually, encountering barbarians isn't a big deal; it all depends on whether the player accepts the deadlock on the chessboard. At worst, they can use privileges.

Take back a move.

If Heaven relinquishes its authority, all is well; one must accept the consequences of their actions. Conversely, if Heaven and Earth override humanity, then so be it. For example, this time, the simultaneous response to exploration on the agenda was unprecedented; that person made the decision.

No one is allowed to die until they bring back intelligence about the ocean.

If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, Heaven can also let you defy fate and change your destiny—it's a piece of cake.

Feng Tianyin immediately wrote a troop mobilization order and said, "Pass it down and organize manpower to explore. Send people in all directions. Now that the overall situation is initially stable, one threat has been eliminated, but threats will always exist, and we must keep abreast of the situation."

"Yes, my lord."

After completing the agenda, she returned to work, all of which were related to Cuiwei City and could not be taken lightly.

It would be best to send in a batch of new residents before the end of the year to test their living conditions during the winter. If everything goes smoothly, then we can speed things up...

Xia He was pleased to see the cooperation of the leader AI Feng Tianyin.

It's so intelligent.

It wasn't just her memory that improved; she even gradually developed comprehension and understood the creator's thought process. Moreover, she was always mindful of avoiding acting on a whim and instead focusing on logic, which accelerated Feng Tianyin's growth.

"Searching for the ocean is a long-term endeavor. Even after finding it, we still need to conduct research, which can take three to five years."

The role of the ocean in civilization needs no further explanation.

The earlier Xiahe develops it, the sooner it can snowball and accumulate advantages.

According to actual data, 40% of the population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast, generating astronomical wealth that is of paramount importance.

Landlocked countries are considered inferior.

It's essential to have a long and high-quality coastline.

After Xia He made her decision, she began to accelerate time. Only one quarter later, during the winter, the vast area of ​​fog on the western side of Xia Yi was cleared up, and the full name finally appeared before her. As she had hoped, it was a terrain that was both safe and restrictive:

basin.

[Geographical Unit: Cifu Basin. A region characterized by a dense network of waterways, surrounded by mountains, fertile land, and a subtropical monsoon climate.]

[Additional benefits within this unit: Water management efficiency +3%, Food production +2%]

The data may appear low, but the actual impact area is large.

Xia He was both happy and worried. He was safe, but what did it mean that the terrain was conducive to separatism?

The Great Qian Dynasty aspires to rule the world.

Chapter 34: Cultivating a Body Shape Like a Crane

Xia He quickly checked the situation of the reconnaissance team.

They've traveled 500 kilometers, which is the straight-line distance, but in reality they're exploring in a fan-shaped pattern, so it takes quite a bit of time.

While it appears to have traveled 500 kilometers in a straight line, the actual area where the fog was cleared was quite large.

But in other words...

"There is no ocean within 500 kilometers of Xiayi, so we must consider moving the capital when the area becomes too large."

With a glance, experienced players can tell that there are quite a few areas in the currently unlocked area that are suitable as capital cities. The biggest surprise is that the area is a mix of plains, mountains, and hills, all of which can be developed in the early stages.

As long as it's not a rotten place like a rainforest, permafrost, or desert, it's fine.

Don't just look at the area; quality is also very important.
