    The story begins with a port city being traversed. The protagonist first establishes a base, then explores the surrounding area. There's no mindless self-sacrifice or system; the main characters are focused on their mission. The plot is relatively realistic, and there are many time-traveling characters (not easy to remember without careful reading), each with their own distinct characteristics. First, gain their trust, then offer them small rewards (keeping key technologies under control). Afterward, help Qin unify the country. Outstanding and heroic figures are retained to continue serving Qin, avoiding major conflicts (considering their value). Offer numerous suggestions to recruit talented individuals, make minor political changes, implement small-scale reforms, and focus on territorial expansion. The allocation of tasks is even and reasonable. This is just my opinion; you can take it as a reference.
