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

The plane landed smoothly at a secret military base in the western suburbs of Beijing.

The hatch opened.

A wave of air, even more biting and dry than that of Jiangnan City, swept over us.

Down the gangway,

A row of black Hongqi sedans with special license plates were already waiting quietly. A dozen or so tall and imposing security personnel, dressed in black trench coats and sunglasses, stood solemnly beside the cars.

He has a powerful aura; he's clearly not an ordinary person.

The leader was a middle-aged officer in his fifties with a resolute face and the rank of major general on his shoulder.

When he saw Lin Zhan and Li Guodong get off the plane, he immediately stepped forward and gave them a standard military salute.

"General Lin, Major General Li! Welcome back to Beijing! The National Operations Operations Center is ready!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Wang."

Lin Zhan returned the greeting, then turned to the side and introduced him.

"This is Comrade Su Yuan."

Secretary Wang's gaze immediately fell on Su Yuan, and his sharp eyes sized him up and down.

Although Su Yuan was dressed in ordinary college student attire

But he dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

The fact that Lin Zhan and Li Guodong personally escorted this young man speaks volumes about his importance.

"Comrade Su Yuan, hello, I am Wang Zhen, General Long's secretary."

Secretary Wang extended his hand, a gentle yet solemn smile on his face.

"On behalf of General Long, I welcome you to the capital."

"Hello, Secretary Wang."

Su Yuan was somewhat flattered and quickly reached out to shake his hand.

This person appears on TV quite often.

The other person's palm was broad and strong, and their handshake was neither humble nor arrogant, just right.

"It's an emergency, let's talk on the way."

Secretary Wang didn't exchange many pleasantries and immediately opened the car door.

He made a gesture of invitation.

Su Yuan once again rode in the same car with Lin Zhan and Li Guodong.

The convoy was escorted by security vehicles.

They quickly drove away from the airport.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of Jiangnan City, the streets of the capital, though filled with traffic, are orderly and well-organized.

Even under the immense impact of the national destiny contest,

The city has maintained its composure and order.

This is the heart of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Comrade Su Yuan,"

In the car, Secretary Wang broke the silence by speaking first.

"General Lin has already given a brief report on the situation on the plane to the command center via encrypted communication. General Long fully supports your decision!"

He looked at Su Yuan, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration:

"Especially you, Comrade Su Yuan. At this crucial moment, you were able to think of and dare to propose a plan to exchange for Desert Eagles with unlimited ammo. This kind of courage and foresight puts us old guys to shame!"

Su Yuan was startled.

Holy crap, how did I get credit for this?

It was General Lin who made the decision against all opposition!

He subconsciously looked at Lin Zhan.

But they found the military genius sitting upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Major General Li Guodong gave him a look that said, "You deserve it."

He even secretly gave a thumbs up.

Su Yuan immediately understood.

This is the higher-ups taking credit for themselves.

They are elevating their own status and influence.

After all, I'm just a twenty-year-old college student.

Although he is the only administrator,

But in that which is about to enter,

In the highest command headquarters, where all the generals were shining stars, the voices of the lowly were insignificant.

Now, with the grand claim of "advocating for the exchange of divine artifacts and making unparalleled contributions to the start of the Dragon Kingdom's rise,"

In the future, any suggestions I make will carry a completely different weight.

Having figured this out,

Su Yuan was filled with mixed emotions.

These important figures are incredibly shrewd and discerning.

They must not only make good use of their system, but also protect and make good use of themselves.

"Secretary Wang, you flatter me. This is all thanks to the skillful command of General Lin and Major General Li. I was just offering a preliminary idea."

Su Yuan quickly replied modestly.

Secretary Wang smiled and didn't continue the topic.

Instead, his expression turned serious, and he began to explain what was going on.

"In ten minutes, we will arrive at the National Games Operation Center. This center is the highest command organization jointly established last night by multiple departments, including the military, the Ministry of State Security, and the Academy of Sciences, and is specifically responsible for dealing with this National Games Arena event."

"The center is located 500 meters underground and has the highest level of defense and security measures. From..."

From the moment you enter, all your external communications will be cut off.

Your safety will be fully taken over by the Dragon Kingdom's top-tier security system.

I know this will cost you some freedom.

But I hope you can understand. Your current value to the Dragon Kingdom is immeasurable.

Secretary Wang's tone was very sincere.

"I understand, and I will completely comply with the arrangements."

Su Yuan nodded and said.

This was originally what he handed over to the state.

This was an outcome that was already anticipated.

The convoy navigated the complex roads of Beijing.

Finally, they drove into an area that looked quite ordinary on the outside.

However, the building complex was heavily guarded with numerous sentry posts at the entrance.

This is one of the core areas of the Dragon Kingdom's military.

The vehicle did not stop.

We drove directly to a huge underground parking lot in the center of the complex.

After undergoing multiple biometric verifications including iris scanning, voiceprint recognition, and fingerprint scanning...

A heavy alloy gate, resembling the door of a bank vault, slowly rose, and the convoy filed in.

When Su Yuan got out of the car

He found himself in a huge underground space.

The place is brightly lit.

It has a futuristic and technological feel.

Countless researchers in white lab coats and officers in various military uniforms came and went.

Everyone was in a hurry, with serious expressions.

A tense yet efficient atmosphere permeated the air.

"This way, please."

Under Secretary Wang's leadership,

Su Yuan, Lin Zhan, and Li Guodong together,

Step into a dedicated high-speed elevator.

The elevator descended rapidly, and the floor numbers displayed on the screen jumped around quickly.

-10, -20, -50...

Finally, the elevator stopped at the -100th floor.

The elevator doors opened.

An even more magnificent and spectacular scene appeared before Su Yuan's eyes.

This is a huge circular hall that can accommodate thousands of people.

In the very center of the hall is a super holographic projection screen comparable to an IMAX screen.

The screen was divided into countless small squares.

The screen is flashing with real-time data streams and intelligence analysis from around the world.

Below the screen are hundreds of worktables, densely packed with top experts from various fields.

There are military staff officers, intelligence analysts, psychologists, sociologists, and even historians and mythologists.

The entire hall is like a high-speed, super-brain.

They handle all information related to the national destiny arena.

On the circular command platform at the very top of the hall stood a dozen or so people Su Yuan had only ever seen on television.

A powerful figure, bearing the weight of a general and exuding an aura of composure as solid as a mountain, stands here.

Leading the group was General Long.

When Su Yuan entered the hall

All eyes instantly turned to him.

It was a complex look in his eyes, a mixture of curiosity, scrutiny, excitement, and expectation.

Su Yuan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Being watched by so many important figures is incredibly stressful!

"You're here?"

When General Long saw Su Yuan, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He took the initiative to step down from the command platform and extended his hand to Su Yuan.

"Welcome, Comrade Su Yuan. Welcome to the National Operations Strategy Center."

Su Yuan quickly stepped forward and grasped the old man's hands with both of them: "General Long, greetings!"

"Don't be shy."

The old man patted the back of his hand, then turned to face everyone on the command platform.

He introduced it in a loud and powerful voice:

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is our Dragon Kingdom's biggest trump card in this competition for national destiny, and also our only 'heavenly eye'—the administrator of the National Destiny Arena, Comrade Su Yuan!"

"From this moment forward, Comrade Su Yuan will serve as the highest intelligence advisor of this center, possessing authority second only to mine!"

Every one of his instructions is equivalent to a supreme operational order and must be executed unconditionally!

boom!

General Long's words

This caused quite a stir in the hall.

Top intelligence advisor?

Second only to General Long's highest authority?

Everyone was shocked.

Although they knew this young man was important

But unexpectedly,

It's that important!

Su Yuan himself was also dumbfounded.

When did I become the top intelligence advisor?

How come I didn't know?

He was about to say something, but General Long stopped him with a look.

The old man held his hand.

Take him to the very center of the command platform.

He was seated in front of a chair specially prepared for him, complete with a separate control panel and a holographic screen.

This location,

Even more central than Lin Zhan and Li Guodong!

"Comrade Su Yuan, this will be your battle station from now on."

The old man pointed to the seat and said solemnly.

"Your mission is to sit here and use your 'Heavenly Eye' to see the way forward for our Dragon Kingdom! To protect and guide our twenty contestants!"

Just then, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded throughout the command center!

[Global Announcement!]

[The National Fortune Arena will officially begin in one minute!]

[All players will be teleported to the first initial instance: Zombie Siege!]

[Global live stream, coming soon!]

The cold, mechanical sound once again resonated in the minds of seven billion people around the world.

coming!

The atmosphere in the command center instantly became extremely tense!

Everyone returned to their work stations, fingers hovering over the keyboard, awaiting orders.

"Attention all units!"

General Lin Zhan took over command and issued the first order.

"Intelligence team, immediately connect to the global live stream signal and project live feeds from twenty major countries onto the main screen! Focus on monitoring the United States, Japan, and the United States!"

"Data team, prepare to record the initial data and performance of athletes from each country for real-time analysis!"

"Logistics team, ensure uninterrupted communication with the families of the twenty athletes and provide all necessary support and reassurance!"

A series of instructions were quickly issued.

The entire operations center resembles a sophisticated war machine.

It instantly enters its highest operating speed state.

Su Yuan was also affected by the tense atmosphere.

He sat at his battle station, took a deep breath,

All attention was focused on the system panel in front of me.

On the panel, there are lists of [Domestic Players] and [Players from Other Countries].

It was shimmering faintly.

He knew that the moment the countdown ended,

He can then use this panel to have a God's-eye view.

Observe every move of all the players in the instance!

Countdown begins!

【10! 】

【9! 】

……

【3! 】

【2! 】

【1! 】

[Teleportation initiated!]

Swish!

The 4660 selected contestants from around the world, regardless of where they are,

Whatever they were doing, their bodies transformed into a beam of white light at the same time and vanished from their original spots in an instant!

The next second, the system panel in front of Su Yuan suddenly changed!

Under the 【Player Management】 module,

After all the players' names,

There's now an extra "Spectate" button!

Meanwhile, on the main screen of the operations center,

Twenty live stream screens of varying sizes lit up instantly!

The scene depicts contestants from major countries such as the United States and Japan appearing in a dilapidated and desolate city.

"Report! Global live stream has started!"

"Report! The official Dragon Kingdom livestream room has been set up simultaneously, and the number of online viewers instantly exceeded 300 million!"
