I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

Chapter 1 Awakening! The Administrator of the National Fortune Arena!

"[Global Announcement]"

"The National Fortune Arena will officially begin in ten minutes."

"At that time, 20 players will be randomly selected from 233 countries and regions around the world to represent their respective countries in the first initial instance."

"The players' performance in the instance will be tied to the fate of the nation."

"[When a contestant receives a reward, the nation will receive a hundredfold reward; when a contestant is punished, the nation will suffer a hundredfold punishment.]"

"The arena is ruthless; life and death are your own responsibility."

"[Countdown begins: 09:59, 09:58...]"

A cold, vast, and utterly emotionless mechanical voice.

It resonated simultaneously in the minds of seven billion people worldwide without warning.

Whether driving, in a meeting, or in surgery,

Class is still in session.

Everyone seemed to have been put on pause.

The movement froze in place.

Dragon Kingdom, Jiangnan City

Inside an ordinary room.

Su Yuan suddenly stood up from his computer.

The chair slid backward because of his excessive movement.

It emitted a sharp, screeching sound.

"What the hell?"

He looked surprised and uncertain, and subconsciously picked at his ear.

Am I hallucinating?

But that voice in my head,

It was so clear it was as if someone was speaking right next to his eardrums.

Every word hit him hard, making his head buzz.

He turned to look out the window.

The once bustling street was now eerily silent.

The vehicle was stopped in the middle of the road.

Pedestrians maintained various strange postures.

The whole world seemed to have become a still oil painting.

But the next second, the painting was completely torn to shreds.

"Bang!"

Downstairs, a car is stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light.

Because the driver was distracted, he rear-ended the car in front.

A chain reaction erupted instantly.

Screams, horns, curses... all sorts of sounds mingled together, shattering the deathly silence and turning into a raging chaos.

Su Yuan's phone started vibrating incessantly—in the class group, roommate group, and game group.

Hundreds of messages flooded in within seconds.

"Holy crap! Did you guys hear that? That sound!"

"National Fortune Arena? What the hell is that? A new scam? It's like they're invading your brain?"

"It's not a hallucination! My colleague next to me heard it too! The whole world heard it!"

"Players? Dungeons? Isn't this something out of a novel?!"

Su Yuan's heart pounded as he watched the messages constantly refreshing on his phone screen.

Really!

It turned out to be true!

This kind of miraculous skill has exceeded the scope of human understanding.

The National Destiny Arena... Bound to the National Destiny...

Although he was just an ordinary time traveler and college student,

I had read quite a few novels before I transmigrated.

Naturally, he instantly understood the terrifying weight contained behind those few simple words.

This is no longer just one person's issue, or just one city's issue.

It is a super event that concerns the fate of the entire country and the entire human civilization!

Just then, that cold voice rang out in my mind once again.

But this time, only he could hear it.

"[Soul fluctuations detected, meeting administrator binding requirements.]"

"[National Fortune Arena Administrator System, currently binding...]"

"[10%...50%...100%!]"

"[Binding successful! Welcome, the sole administrator—Su Yuan.]"

Su Yuan froze, his eyes wide open.

Manage...administrator system?

I rely on!

Traveling through three years,

My cheat code has finally arrived!

He pinched his thigh hard.

A sharp pain came over me.

Tell him this isn't a dream.

Before he could even recover from this earth-shattering change,

A pale blue virtual panel that only he could see.

It slowly unfolded before his eyes.

The panel design is extremely simple and full of technological feel.

At the top are several large titles: [Player Management], [Instance Management], [Arena Shop], and [Permission Log].

Su Yuan's breathing instantly became rapid.

He reached out his hand, trembling, and tried to give the command in his mind: "Open [Player Management]."

The thought had just arisen,

The panel reacted immediately.

The "Player Management" module is now highlighted, and two sub-options appear below it:

[Domestic athletes] and [athletes from other countries].

Su Yuan's heart was beating even faster.

He felt all the blood rushing to his head.

He pointed to the [domestic player].

Swish!

A list pops up.

The list is still empty.

But there is a line of small print at the very top.

"The list of contestants from the Dragon Kingdom will be randomly generated from citizens aged 18-45 nationwide after the countdown ends. Number of participants: 20."

Su Yuan subconsciously swallowed.

I clicked on "Contestants from Other Countries" again, almost as if by some strange twist of fate.

A densely packed list instantly filled the entire panel.

"List of players from the United States (not yet generated)"

"List of players from Japan (not yet generated)"

"List of contestants from White Elephant Country (not yet generated)"

"..."

From top to bottom, the names of 232 countries and regions are displayed without missing a single one.

Su Yuan's mind went blank.

He got it.

He finally understood the meaning of the word "administrator".

If those 20 selected players were to enter the game...

So he... is that GM who uses the backend!

He can see not only his own country's players.

You can also see information about athletes from all countries!

This is just one feature of the [Player Management] module.

What about the [Instance Management] and [Arena Shop] sections?

Su Yuan suppressed his excitement and opened [Dungeon Management].

"【Initial Dungeon #1: Zombie Siege (Not yet available)】"

"[Instance Description: A city infected by the T-virus, teeming with hungry zombies and mutated creatures. Survive in the city for 7 days and find the T-virus serum.]"

"[Completion Rewards: Determined based on performance.]"

"[Pass Tip: Administrators can view this.]"

Su Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He can actually see the contents of the dungeon directly!

There are even tips for clearing the level!

This...this is no longer a cheat code.

This is like shoving a game guide right into his hands!

If this information were given to the Chinese athletes in advance...

Su Yuan swallowed hard.

Force yourself to calm down

Let's turn our attention to the final [Arena Shop].

The dazzling array of goods on the panel made him dizzy.
