Qin Xiaobai leaves East 1 Island, an island occupied by both a Chinese player and a Japanese player. Follow the clockwise direction and continue to the 1st island in the south, 1st island in the southwest, 1st island in the west, and 1st island in the north.

He moved quickly, without the slightest bit of mud, and from five o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the afternoon, he roughly explored the four islands.

The reason why I say "roughly" is because he did not land on 6 of these islands. If each of these five islands were to be explored carefully, it would probably not take enough days to spend a few days. Qin Xiaobai made a record of the general situation of the five islands.

0. Central Island - Double Island - Qin Xiaobai, Bing.

1. Higashijima - A two-player island - There is a Chinese merchant and a Japanese player. This island is also Qin Xiaobai's most "optimistic" island.

2. South Island - Five Islands - Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Italy, South Korea. Qin Xiaobai didn't take the time to explore this island, the reason why he knew the nationality of the five players on this island was entirely because of an accident.

He had initially floated around the West Island on a raft and had found a ferry crossing where a black player was moving.

Qin Xiaobai has a high impression of black players, so he went over to say hello, and ended up knowing this black brother from South Africa, and through this player, he met a nearby Brazilian player, and then quickly learned about all the players on the entire island. The smell of gunpowder on this island is obviously not strong, and several players already know each other, and there is not too strong hostility. If nothing else, they prefer to keep the island peaceful.

To be honest, Qin Xiaobai doesn't like this kind of island without conflict, there is no conflict and war, and he has no room to wield.

3. Southwest Island - Single Island - There is a Burmese player. Such a single-player island is the best place for players to exhibit, and in the early days, you can exhibit without any scruples, without worrying about being attacked. It's a pity that Qin Xiaobai didn't have the players who are on this island to build a ferry, and the players here have obviously wasted their advantage. He deliberately climbed 6 to take a look, and there was a camp of Burmese players, with more than 20 barbarian peasants, and the exhibition was slow. The master was not there, and Qin Xiaobai did not stay long.

4. West Island - Island of Eight - Unknown Player. The island is a large Arabian topographical island, dominated by deserts and oases. Without thinking too much, it must be the best place for the 6 places to compete for supremacy. Qin Xiaobai did not have a ferry on the coast, and he did not land on the 6 islands. The forces on such a large island are too chaotic, and the players on the island have probably recruited barbarian warriors, and he doesn't want to run up to the island alone to give experience points to other players.

5. North Island - Island of Eight - Unknown Player. It is also a large eight-man island, with shallow river topography, and other conditions are unknown.

Among these six islands, the East Island is ironclad and bound to have a war, and it is difficult to say how far the scope of the war can reach. Among the remaining islands, the two large eight-person islands of North Island and West Island have the greatest possibility of breaking out into a six-land battle for supremacy. There is a high probability of naval warfare around the South Island. Players on the Southwest Island are probably only beaten and robbed. And the center island, hehe, two Chinese professional gamers collided, and there is no doubt that this island will become one of the most formidable military bases in the vicinity.

The above is purely technical analysis.

For the novice map, the player has two main missions.

One is to use various means to obtain a large amount of resources to improve the level of their tribal civilization, from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, or even the Bronze Age. The higher the level of civilization, the stronger the strength will naturally be, and whoever is caught will kill whom. However, upgrading civilization consumes a lot of resources, upgrading from the prehistoric era to the Stone Age only consumes 200 grains, while upgrading from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age requires tens of thousands of resources, so it is not so easy to excel.

Another important task for the player is to gain experience by leading the heroes into battle. The player is a hero in his own right, and he can only enter the strategic map after leveling up to level 10. If you want to enter the strategic map, you must fight.

The Starter Map is simply a personal arena for hundreds of millions of players around the world, allowing all players to familiarize themselves with the building, management, and warfare modes of Empire before moving on to the Strategic Map for a more ambitious large-scale war. In the strategic map, instead of one or two players engaged in a skirmish, a large group of huge nations will engage in a large-scale struggle for supremacy in the virtual earth world.

Qin Xiaobai's goal now is very simple - to obtain enough resources from the hands of players on the surrounding islands, upgrade his tribal civilization at the same time, improve his level in the war, and enter the strategic map as soon as possible. It only took him a month to enter the strategy map during the closed beta, and now that "Empire" is officially running, I believe it won't take too long.

After exploring the five nearest islands in the vicinity, Qin Xiaobai rowed a small raft from the North Island to his island.

Along the way, he happened to pass by the territory of 6 ice, so he stopped by to visit 6 ice.

6 Bing had built a ferry port on the coast yesterday, and had built a few small rafts, and got up early in the morning to start work. Now he is directing more than a dozen barbarian peasants of the tribe to cut timber, a few peasants to make tools, and five peasants to go to the sea on small rafts to fish. Under her command, the construction of the tribe is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Her progress is not much slower than Qin Xiaobai's, after all, they are all professional players.

Empires is very balanced, and with fair competition, each player has roughly the same resources, and no player gets an extra advantage. As long as professional gamers don't make mistakes in the same amount of time, the spread will not differ much. The key is that in the middle of the war, the subtle differences in the skill level of professional players are slowly reflected, and the gap slowly widens. Only the best professional gamers can stand at the top of the game.

Qin Xiaobai docked the raft at the ferry, jumped ashore, and found 6 Bing, who was making stone tools in the ferry workshop.

6 Bing was a little surprised to see Qin Xiaobai coming to her ferry on a small raft.

What did he come to do?

The purpose of Qin Xiaobai's visit surprised her.

Qin Xiaobai briefly told her about the geography of the five surrounding islands that he had explored early in the morning, mainly the three large islands of South Island, West Island, and North Island. He didn't say anything about the situation in the East and Southwest Islands.

This geographic information is not really valuable, you only need to paddle a raft to know, the only problem is that it is very time-consuming. Qin Xiaobai ran all morning to get this information. Qin Xiaobai told her this, of course, not to give her information in vain, but to attract her attention to the three big islands as soon as possible. He wants to pack the other two small islands.

6 Bing still didn't understand why Qin Xiaobai revealed the information to her, but she was not a very suspicious woman, and she happily accepted Qin Xiaobai's kindness.

"Thank you, your intel has saved me at least nearly 5 hours of exploratory time. However, I have nothing to repay you, and if you need any help, be sure to let me know! ”

Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "You're welcome, exchanging intelligence is good for everyone, and we may fight side by side in the future." By the way, I'm going to build a barbarian barracks today, and I'm going to be able to send troops to 6 other islands in these two days. According to the three agreements we have agreed upon, to maintain transparency in the military situation, I am obliged to inform you of the news of the construction of the barracks. You can rest assured, I don't want to have any conflict with a pro player from the same island, especially a guild leader like you. In the future, I may be able to trade with your guild when I enter the strategy map. ”

6 Bing's eyelashes blinked, she believed in Qin Xiaobai's sincerity.

May I ask which nearby island you are going to send troops to?! Maybe I shouldn't be asking, but I'm curious. If we could, maybe we could send troops together, and the two families were stronger than the one. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled.

"The North Island, or the West Island, it's all the same. Both of these islands are large eight-player islands with the largest number of players, and almost all of them are players of different nationalities. The more players of different nationalities, the more chaotic the island power is, and the easier it is to reap the benefits of chaos. You should be able to recruit Barbarian warriors in two days. One person fights another, do you choose the North Island or the South Island? ”

"The North Island is near, I choose the North Island."

"Okay, I'll choose the West Island. One by one, I believe we will all have enough opponents to upgrade. ”

After Qin Xiaobai finished talking with 6 Bing, he left 6 Bing's ferry and jumped on a raft to return to his base by sea. 6 Bing looked at Qin Xiaobai's distant back, her clear eyes showed a little doubt, she had a vague intuition, he said less.

But unless she spends five hours exploring every island around, she won't know what he's missing. And time is exactly what she lacks, she now needs to participate in the production by herself, and seize every second to catch up with Xiaobai's degree.
