I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

Designing the Prop System was a real task of physical labor, making sure the strength of props of different levels was controlled, and also designing some Special Items, and so on. Apart from that, it was also necessary to figure out the means by which players would acquire these props.

Like dungeons and the like.

Designing the content and the background stories of the dungeons was an even bigger challenge.

A team of over a thousand game planners spent several days and only managed to create forty thousand dungeons suitable for the early stages. Because of the tight schedule, many of these initial dungeons were quite similar to one another.

It's the kind where you change the broth but not the medicine.

Once players entered the latter stages, these planners would gradually start designing other dungeons. It's a long-term task, not something that can be done in a short time; luckily, initially, only a few basic dungeons needed to be designed.

And the number of planners needed to increase gradually.

According to Wang Jili, at least another hundred thousand planners were needed; otherwise, the rate at which dungeons were created wouldn't keep up, and the planners could be gradually filled in later.

However, Elder Bai, to satisfy his own wicked sense of humor, personally designed quite a few props.

For example—

「Prop Name」: The Butcher Knife of an Honest Man.

「Prop Level」: White.

「Prop Effect」: When you hold this prop and your inner emotions are extremely angry, you will instantly become calm and composed.

「Prop Description」: An honest man should always be calm and composed.

"What do you think?"

Elder Bai clearly was extremely satisfied with this prop he designed, looking around at the crowd with some smugness, "The prop I designed isn't bad, right? Looking at it this way, I feel like I might also have a talent for planning."

"..."

Hungry Monkey's mouth twitched slightly but he said nothing; he couldn't see what was good about this prop.

It had no power.

Even if it was for the sake of a prank, the prank was rather awkward.

Moreover, planning the entire Prop System required considering many things; it was not as simple as designing a single prop.

But he didn't want to crush Elder Bai's confidence, so after sighing helplessly, he said with annoyance, "It's just great, you were born for this job."

...

Another three days passed.

Most of the tedious details had been sorted out, and the vast gaming terrain could almost be declared finished. The entire continent had been completely transformed, with the addition of several dungeon entrances and unique structures exposed on the surface.

Of course, it didn't look much different on the whole.

Three percent of the domain was cordoned off, specifically for Elder Bai to build a huge mausoleum. Such a large tomb was enough for Elder Bai to spend a lifetime striving for it; it was estimated that when Elder Bai passed away, the mausoleum wouldn't even be filled.

Putting that aside.

If no one else helped, expecting Elder Bai to fill all the chambers of this mausoleum by himself was an impossibility unless he had the gift of 'Longevity'.

During this time, they had also come up with a name for this vast land.

「White Continent」.

It meant the land of Elder Bai.

Wang Jili and the others all raised their hands in approval for this name. They had no particular ideas about what to call the land; any name would do. To them, the project was large but the issue was not significant.

If it weren't because Elder Bai was Miao's confidant,

They wouldn't have bothered with it no matter how much they were paid, had it been anyone else.

"Now the next step is selecting the players,"

Wang Jili stood aside and, after searching the star chart in his hand for a while, chose an average planet, "This planet will do, the species on this planet are Humanoids."

"They're just like humans but with a furry tail."

"They're called 'Cat People'."

"The first batch of players will be taken up by this Cat People race."

"That shouldn't be a problem," Elder Bai hesitated for a moment before he cautiously said, "but how do we get them onto my continent?"

"Simple."

```

Wang Jili smiled and snapped his fingers, "I've already coordinated with Jiang beforehand, he'll come and help us."

The next second—

An exaggeratedly huge portal suddenly surged into existence above the continent, and then the sky went completely dark, the kind of pitch-blackness where you couldn't see your hand before your face. If one pulled the view high enough, they could see an absurdly large cannon barrel extending from the portal.

And that vast continent, beneath this cannon barrel, looked as insignificant as a sesame seed fallen in the Milky Way, hardly noticeable.

Immediately after.

The figures of countless Cat People started to fall onto the ground, and when light returned once again, the previously empty continent was now dotted with many players, each spaced a good distance apart from one another.@@novelbin@@

Most players were dropped alone into a desolate space.

...

"Here,"

Standing in the void above the continent, Wang Jili casually said, "Congratulations Elder Bai, your first batch of players is in position. Little Wang, hand the script over to Elder Bai. The first welcome announcement to the players should be made personally by Elder Bai. After all, it's about the ceremonial experience."

Elder Bai took the script and a microphone-like prop from a staff member next to him and, with a sense of nervousness, cleared his throat with a loud cough before looking at the script and speaking in a hoarse and deep voice.

"'Global announcement, welcome everyone to this civilization battle game, I am your host, Elder Bai.'

"'Here, you can grow stronger through various means until you reach the pinnacle.'

"'And...'

"'...'

"'...Lastly, I wish you all good luck, survive!'"

Elder Bai's voice echoed across the entire wilderness, and countless players looked up at the sky with changing expressions, listening to the ethereal and distant voice from above, unable to discern what was happening, but certain that the force capable of transporting them to this strange place was undoubtedly powerful.

According to the settings by Elder Bai's team.

Each new player has three chances to speak for free in the world channel.

At the moment, the world channel was quite lively.

"Does anyone know what's going on? Why did I wake up and find myself in this place?!"

"At least you had some transition after waking up. I was in the middle of taking a dump, and when I realized it was dark and my vision restored, I was already here."

"Wuu wuu, Mommy, I want to go home. This place looks scary, I don't want to die."

"Stop complaining, we only have three free opportunities to speak, can't you treasure them a bit more? My prompt says I have a novice gift package, and I'm sure you all have it too. There's an axe in the package, so chop as many trees as you can and build yourself a shelter. Didn't the announcement just say there would be wild monster invasions at night?"

"Damn it, there's a stream right by me with lots of animal tracks around. I'm kind of scared, what do I do?"

"Scared of what? Having a large water resource right where you land is something to be happy about, I'm still trying to figure out where to find water resources."

"What's the use of that? Having a stream means that animals for miles around will come here to drink. That means the danger level for me has just increased a notch."

...

The world chat channel was bustling.

Even though everyone knew they only had three free chances to speak, many still wasted one to say something, and most of the time, before anyone could react to a comment, it was drowned out by a flood of messages from other players.

But this didn't stop a large number of players from blindly using their chances to speak.

It was as if doing so gathered them with the main troop, easing the sense of fear and loneliness faced with adversity when alone.

Humans are social animals; in the face of danger, they often instinctively come together to face the crisis.

The Cat People, being Humanoids, naturally inherited this trait.

"It's really lively."

Elder Bai stood in the void, looking down at the many busy players below with a sentimental face, then glanced at his watch, "There are only seven hours left until dark now."

"How about we don't refresh the wild monsters the first night?"

"Give them at least a little time to adapt."

"Look, there are still many people sitting around doing nothing, probably still haven't come to terms with it. If we refresh the wild monsters on the first night, it seems like many players would die. These players were not easy to come by, it would be a shame if they died so easily."

"I suggest we don't do that."

Wang Jili shook his head, "This civilization battle game is all about selection. Some players with poorer mental states couldn't come up with any good strategies even if we gave them two more nights."
