I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

As for the strength of other Blue Star players, the man with the duckbill cap sneered after glancing at a few of the other Blue Star players, then confidently walked over to the puppet. He was originally supposed to go last, but since Chen Miao had already made his move, he didn't plan on holding back anymore.

It was meaningless now.

"Boom, boom!"

In just three seconds, countless punches were thrown, causing the standing post to tremble wildly.

'Player': Firefly, Bucky.

'Damage': 16202.

"Such a pity."

Bucky looked regretfully at the damage value, knowing that he was bound to lose when Chen Miao swung for nearly forty thousand damage. After all, he had some understanding of his own strength and knew he couldn't be ten times stronger than the first player from their civilization to compete.

He was already the person with the highest burst attack power in the Firefly Civilization over a short period.

He just didn't expect to be so much lower than Chen Miao.

But soon, his gloomy mood was swept away. It was merely a single loss in a contest, and he didn't care. With a total of 18 events, could Chen Miao be good at all 18 events?

Just one misstep, and the ultimate winner would be their Firefly Civilization.

Soon—

'Ding, the first event is over.'@@novelbin@@

'First place: Blue Star, Chen Miao.'

'Second place: Firefly, Bucky.'

'Third place, Firefly, Corgi.'

'Blue Star Civilization now has 5 points; Firefly Civilization now has 4 points.'

...

Chen Miao and the Blue Star players were once again transported to the spectator seats.

"Hey."

Hungry Monkey looked at Chen Miao and grinned, "Miao, at this rate, maybe our Blue Star Civilization can really win."

"Hard to say."

Chen Miao shook his head, "If no miracle happens, we are probably going to lose."

He probably understood what this S-level secret realm was about; it wasn't truly designed to allow newly promoted civilizations to win and gain rewards, but simply to inform other civilizations that a new civilization had been promoted to D-level.

The significance of the promotion was far greater than gaining any tangible rewards.

After all, the old D-level civilizations would still have a significant upper hand over the newly promoted D-level civilizations.

Unless every event selected was combat-related and he took first place in all of them, there would be a chance of victory. Otherwise, missing first place a few times would lead directly to failure.

And since the Firefly Civilization now knew his speciality was combat power, they certainly wouldn't pick that category anymore.

And at that time—

Anew panel slowly emerged above the arena.

'Ding, newly promoted D-level Blue Star Civilization, please choose the next round's category.'

'1: Puzzle-solving.'

'2: Physical ability.'

'Ding, the newly promoted D-level Blue Star Civilization has chosen number 2, physical ability. Now beginning the random selection of a physical ability event.'

'Selecting event...'

'Selected event is, individual weight lifting.'

'Event name': Individual weight lifting.

'Event number': 2.

'Event description': Each civilization sends out 5 players, making a total of 10 players, to compete in weight lifting by carrying heavy objects on their shoulders. Rankings will be determined by the weight lifted.

After consulting with Chen Miao, the Blue Star Civilization quickly chose the physical ability category.

This time the participants included Chen Miao and Hungry Monkey along with the remaining three selected Federation players.

At this time, Chen Miao also realized that the selection of event categories was not fixed to five options. The first round gave five options, while the second round had only two.

Between puzzles and physical ability, physical ability was more suitable for them.

Chen Miao and Hungry Monkey were both outright strength monsters.

First there was Chen Miao, who after devouring one Strength Fragment and allocating all the Free Attribute Points gained from leveling up to 500 directly into Strength, had now reached a nearly terrifying Strength Value close to 1000 points.

This was an extremely terrifying number.

Hungry Monkey was also strong, having devoured two Civilization Fragments, he had a whopping Strength Value of nearly 600 points. The two of them were simply strength behemoths, much stronger than fighters who specialized in strength.

"Miao, doesn't that mean we've got this one in the bag?"

Hungry Monkey spoke excitedly with the belief that, with his and Miao's Strength Attribute values, they had no concerns even when facing Firefly Players head-on.

"Hard to say."

Chen Miao shook his head, "This isn't like our last internal battle. This time our opponents are from an established D-level civilization that has advanced. They will certainly send out their strongest players. Whether we can win at that time is also uncertain."

"But don't worry, I still have 14 Civilization Fragments left. Let's have the other three Blue Star players test the waters first. If their Strength Values are higher than ours, we'll start using the Civilization Fragments immediately. If not, then let it be."

Directly consuming a Civilization Fragment can grant 200 Free Attribute Points, which is the simplest usage method, yet it is not at all wasteful. Although Civilization Fragments have other uses like weapon enchantment.

But to be honest.

He truly didn't feel that enchanting weapons offered a better cost-performance ratio than directly acquiring 200 Free Attribute Points.

Using them this way, he didn't feel it was a waste since these Civilization Fragments had been quietly lying in his backpack without a good use. His S-class weapon, the Cup of Equity, had already been enchanted and couldn't be enchanted again.

Very soon—

The first Firefly Civilization player stepped forward.

"Player": Firefly, Bucky.

"Strength Value": 892.

"Sorry."

Bucky was the thin man who had been wearing a duckbill cap at the beginning, and now he couldn't help laughing as he approached Chen Miao: "Surprised to see me again? I am the player with the highest Strength Value in the Firefly Civilization."

"I'm very curious, is there really no one else in Blue Star Civilization?"

"Aren't you a Gunman? Why would you be sent here to a physical attributes competition when you're in that profession?"

"How much strength can a gunman have?"

His actual Strength Value was 912, but the Strength Value he exhibited was only 892, which was actually quite normal. If an ordinary person without professional training has 1000 points in the Strength Attribute, the Strength Attribute Value they could actually demonstrate might only be around six to seven hundred.

It's only in cases like his, where one is a fighter and the job specialization uses Strength Values extensively, that one could maximize the power of the Strength Attribute Value.

Otherwise, if everyone could exhibit exactly the Strength Attribute Value they had.

There would be no need for weightlifting competitions at all, everyone could just show their panels, and whoever had higher numbers on the panel would be the impressive one. It's that simple, no need for all this hassle.

"Hmm."

Chen Miao nodded without speaking, and had to admit that, indeed, as the player with the highest strength attribute value in a well-established civilization, a Strength Value of 892 was truly frightening. One punch with that kind of strength would probably be quite painful.

Long-standing civilizations do have their merits.

Meanwhile, Hungry Monkey's face was filled with despair, looking completely dejected.

"Hahahaha."

Clearly, the sight of Hungry Monkey in such a state was quite pleasing to Bucky, who patted Hungry Monkey's shoulder with a satisfied look: "It's okay, no need for despair, after all, you are a newly emerged civilization. It's normal to lose."

"When we first ascended, we lost too. There hasn't been a single case where a new D-class civilization has beaten an established D-class civilization. After advancing to a D-class civilization, there are just too many ways to improve combat power. You've just ascended and simply don't have access to these channels."

"Friendship comes first, competition comes second, right?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha."

"..."

With an incredulous look, Hungry Monkey glanced at Bucky and swatted away Bucky's hand: "What are you talking about? I'm not despairing because I saw your high Strength Value, but because your Full-Force Strike's damage value isn't even as high as the damage Miao deals casually with a few shots."

"At this rate, when will I ever catch up with Miao?" Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

He had never fought Miao with live ammunition and didn't know how long it would take for Miao to take him down if they really got into it.

But now he had an idea.

To surpass Miao, it seemed unlikely to happen in this lifetime.

Chen Miao, however, was unfazed by this little interlude. After contemplating for a while, he reached into his chest and handed two Civilization Fragments to Hungry Monkey, gesturing for him to consume them, then took out two more Civilization Fragments and swallowed them himself.

His Strength Attribute Value was currently at 988, which should have crushed Bucky, but, as Bucky said, since he was a gunman, he couldn't fully utilize the power of his Strength Attribute Value.

He estimated about seventy to eighty percent at most.

988 + 400, that's exactly 1388. With that, even at seventy to eighty percent, he would be able to crush Bucky just right.

As for Hungry Monkey, with an original Strength Attribute Value of 613, plus the two Civilization Fragments, it will be a perfect 1013 Strength Attribute Value, close to crushing as well.

Just perfect for taking first and second place.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Chen Miao take out four Civilization Fragments, Bucky suddenly stood petrified, looking at Chen Miao incredulously and spoke word by word, "What is that? Could those be Civilization Fragments?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why do you have four Civilization Fragments?"

"They must be fake, right?"

The acquisition of Civilization Fragments was extremely difficult, and their civilization got only four in the first civilization advancement battle, three in the second, and none in the third.

In total, seven Civilization Fragments were obtained.

This was already the entirety of the Firefly Civilization's stock. He used one of them, unaware of how the remaining six were used.

But... such a precious thing, why is Chen Miao eating them like candy, just swallowing two in one gulp, and the same for Hungry Monkey who also ate two directly?

Is this a joke?

Chen Miao ignored Bucky and simply walked to the center of the arena.

Soon.

"Player": Blue Star, Chen Miao.

"Strength Value": 1078.
