I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 416 - 351: "Command Center? Our civilization has no such thing."_2

Advancing to the next stage is just too difficult.

To rank first in any three leaderboards within the Federation, that’s a joke. Up to now, besides Chen Miao, there are only one or two people who have managed to rank first in two leaderboards, let alone three—a feat no one has accomplished.

Even the current Chen Miao has only achieved two first places.

It’s understandable that someone couldn’t complete this task since advancing to the SS level is indeed preposterously difficult. So far, he can’t complete it either, at least not in the short term.

...

"..."

Chen Miao casually browsed the other leaderboards of the Federation and then stopped thinking about this matter. It wasn’t very important, at least not so far, as it hadn’t provided him with much help.

It was more or less dispensable.

The only thing he was reluctant to part with was the wand he had been using for quite a long time, and he felt somewhat sentimental about it.

However, he didn’t pay any price for the many promotion tasks; they just happened to be completed naturally, allowing him to advance by chance. It was quite nice.

At this moment, there was less than an hour left until the Blue Star Civilization’s latest civilization advancement battle.

He didn’t know what this battle would entail.

The first was a life-and-death struggle with other civilizations.

The second was a world boss battle.

He was somewhat looking forward to what the third one would be and even more so to whether there would be any secret global rewards after the third Civilization Battle ended.

Just like that.

Chen Miao took Hungry Monkey and others to pack some food at a Jingjiu City restaurant before returning to The Land of Extreme Cold, where they celebrated with the other members of Tomb Guardian who stayed at the base. Not long after dinner, while Hungry Monkey and the others were enjoying their after-dinner cigarettes and bantering, a system notification rang in everyone’s ears.

"Ding!"

"The battle for Blue Star’s advancement to a D-level civilization officially begins!"

"Only after a victorious battle can the advancement be considered official. Failure means the advancement has failed, and higher requirements than before must be met to reinitiate the battle for civilization advancement."

"This advancement battle is... a world boss battle!"

"Successfully killing the boss within the allotted time means successful advancement."

As the notification ended,

all the players on Blue Star blinked in a flash of white light and reappeared in a white space—only this time, it seemed different from the last. This time, the white space was filled with even more players.

Many players had a line of shining golden words above their heads.

"Blue Star Civilization"

"Mountain Spring Civilization"

"Asking Heaven Civilization"

And so on...

In this massive white space, many players were conversing with each other, and in the front was a huge screen. The screen was so large that its size couldn’t be estimated; it felt like even if there were a billion players here, they could still clearly see the content on the screen.

It seemed that the screen was also equipped with some high-tech elements.

No matter how far away, one could clearly see the images on the screen. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

...

Chen Miao, who had just teleported over and steadied himself, heard the conversations of the people around him.

"This is already the third time the One Finger Civilization has challenged, isn’t it? If I remember correctly?"

"Yes, I remember that. Indeed, it’s the third time now. I wonder how they’re prepared this time. If they fail this challenge, I guess the One Finger Civilization will completely lose hope of advancing to a D-level civilization. It’s said that after three consecutive failed attempts, the conditions for the fourth challenge are even higher than those for advancing to a D-level civilization."

"Alas, failing is the norm; with tens of thousands of E-level civilizations, fewer than seven have successfully advanced to D-level. The difficulty is unimaginable, much harder than a one in a million chance."

Heard some inexplicable chatter around.

Chen Miao looked above their heads where phrases like "Asking Heaven Civilization," "Mountain Spring Civilization," and so on were floating, indicating these people weren’t players from the Blue Star Civilization. Could it be that this white space wasn’t only filled with players from the Blue Star Civilization?

He glanced at their screens following their gaze.

He saw a large screen in the distance being split into 16 sections.

One main screen, fifteen subsidiary screens.

On the main screen, millions of players were attacking a boss taller than the sky with all sorts of tactics. Yet the boss’s health was dropping very slowly. A casual backhand from it would spew flames that took the lives of many players.

It had clearly turned into a battlefield akin to a meat grinder.

The subsidiary screens were broadcasting the battle from various perspectives.

Numerous players in the back were buffing those fighting in the front, there were medical teams constantly rescuing severely injured comrades amidst the chaos, and even command centers at the rear predicting the boss’s next move based on its actions, loudly giving orders.

The whole scene looked chaotic yet strangely orderly.

And a small line of light above these players’ heads read "One Finger Civilization." Clearly, the people on the screen were the One Finger Civilization that was being discussed.

"Are you guys here to participate in the D-grade civilization advancement battle too?"

Chen Miao, curious, looked around at the players who were discussing and joined the conversation.

"No shit."

Those few cast a somewhat speechless glance at Chen Miao, "Anyone who shows up here, aren’t they all rushing to participate in the D-grade civilization advancement battle? Look at you guys, you seem like it’s your first time here, huh? Get in line. There are still seventeen civilizations ahead, and only after those seventeen civilizations have had their turn can you challenge."

"But don’t get your hopes up too high."

"No civilization manages to succeed on their first challenge. Consider this as paying tuition for a lesson. Pay attention to how other civilizations handle the boss when they attack, try to lose fewer people, and then think about you next or third time."

The one speaking was from the Mountain Spring Civilization, and this was their third time participating in the battle of civilizations. At the moment, he felt a bit uneasy inside, as it would soon be their turn. If they failed for the third time, that would likely mean they were out of luck with the D-grade civilization.

The conditions for the fourth attempt were just too difficult.

...

In the crowd, quite a few players noticed a group of new arrivals from the Blue Star Civilization. They didn’t recognize the names, but most didn’t care. After all, there are tens of thousands of E-grade civilizations, and who could remember all the names? But seeing these players from the Blue Star Civilization with their cautious and curious expressions, one could easily tell it was their first visit.

"Hey."

An old player from the Asking Heaven Civilization, who was looking around on tiptoes, couldn’t help teasing when he saw the Blue Star Civilization player surveying their surroundings: "First time here, eh? Stop gawking and get your civilization’s command center to check out how others are challenging. Learn from their experience, so that you can do better next time."

"Um..."

After hesitating for a while, the Blue Star Civilization player replied uncertainly, "Command center? Our civilization doesn’t have one of those."

"No command center? Impressive. To tackle such a large-scale battlefield without one. Your civilization knows how to play. What about combat teams, medical teams, logistics teams, support teams?"

"Um... we don’t have those either."

"You don’t have any of those?"

The old player from the Asking Heaven Civilization looked incredulously at the young man in front of him: "Without those, how did your civilization manage the boss battle for promotion to E-grade? Did you just pile up bodies to get through?"

"Well... how should I put this."

The young man’s face grew complicated as he looked at the figure of Chen Miao not far away, leaning on his cane. He sighed, his voice tinged with helplessness, "We in the Blue Star have a god, and that god can obliterate anything in an instant."

"We don’t need those."

At the beginning of the civilization battle, there was a command center, and after a long time of positioning troops and shouting in the channel, just when the preparation for war had finally commenced, that civilization was instantly wiped out by Chen Miao.

The command center disbanded on the spot.

Ever since, that stuff no longer existed.
