I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"Let's go."

Chen Miao looked down at his watch, didn't linger, turned to Hungry Monkey and said, "Call Yuan Buping and Zhou Shen, let's head to Fengtian City together. We'll take a stroll and by the way, tell the mayor I won't be able to make it to the city-state competition because something came up."

"Got it."

...

Soon.

A Hell Bus leisurely drove from the end of the road as if nothing was out of the ordinary and stopped in front of them.

As long as there was a road, the Hell Bus could reach it smoothly, but Chen Miao wondered if this rule was limited to Blue Star. Otherwise, he really would have to find a way to go to other planets and build a road there.

In theory, this would allow him to shuttle between different planets in a short period of time, and that sounded like a pretty cool thing to do.

But the chances were slim.

Because it wasn't only Blue Star in the entire universe that had roads, but he could only see driving routes on Blue Star when looking at the Hell Bus's route, which meant that the Hell Bus could only operate within Blue Star.

Or to say, he could only freely board the Hell Bus that operated within the territory of Blue Star.

As the Hell Bus slowly came to a stop, they quickly arrived within the territory of Fengtian City. As soon as they arrived, a certain leaderboard in Fengtian City began to change rapidly.

A name began to climb over one name after another above it on the leaderboard until it surpassed the first name and became the current number one.

"Fengtian City Perfect Clearance Rating Leaderboard"

"Top Rank: Chen Miao."

"Perfect Clearances: 34 times."

-

A staggeringly high number of perfect clearances that firmly dominated the first place on that leaderboard. The person in second place only had 6 perfect clearances, an almost crushing disparity that left little to no desire to chase after.

It's like when you're one win away from the highest rank in a competitive game, you're certainly tempted to aim for that top position.

But if you're at the bottom rank with no points, and every win nets you only a few points while each loss costs you tenfold, you certainly wouldn't dream of reaching for that top rank, but rather play the game just for fun, convincing yourself that you lack only time, otherwise, reaching the top would be a breeze.

That was how the person in second place felt right now.

In the history of the "Fengtian City Perfect Clearance Rating Leaderboard," the highest number of perfect clearances was certainly more than 6, but that was during the early stages of the world's supernatural transformation when the Fengtian City government put together a team specifically for perfect clearances in order to expand the Secret Realm Building. But now, those people had either died or left.

The most anyone else had was 6 perfect clearances.

And Chen Miao's count of 34 was crushingly dominant.

It wasn't a leaderboard everyone paid attention to all the time. Even though it changed in real time, no one was that idle. But it just so happened that someone refreshed the leaderboard at that moment and noticed that the top rank had changed.

And it was a dominant change.

Soon, a piece of gossip started spreading among some people.

"Shocking! Chen Miao, who disappeared for half a month, makes a strong comeback. What could be his intention?"

...

Chen Miao had no idea about the outside world's reaction. He hopped off the Hell Bus and before he even steadied himself on the sidewalk, he heard a prompt congratulating him on topping a leaderboard in Fengtian City.

Immediately after, a brand-new panel popped up before him.

This panel signified that his associated prop had once again been promoted and retained.

-

"Prop Name": First Show of Sharpness.

"Prop Level": B (upgraded three times).

"Prop Effect":

1: Can ignore the restriction of crafting only one occupational weapon, allows one's name on all leaderboards and in announcements or other occurrences of one's name to be encircled by a Rainbow Brilliance effect.

2: May use a city-wide announcement once daily for free, with the announcment time limited to 11:00 AM–14:00 PM, and each announcement must not exceed 300 words; it will be communicated to all citizens within the city limits through voice, panel, and other means.

3: Allows alteration of one's appearance once a day randomly, not only completely randomizing one's body, appearance, and accent but also making one's name disappear from the city leaderboard and randomly binding a new identity to the player. This identity's ranking on the leaderboard will also be completely random.

The appearance and accent of the disguise target are completely random and not selected from within that city, making it impossible to encounter an identical copy of oneself.

The disguise can last up to one hour.

"Prop Restriction": None.

"Prop Source": There is a small chance of obtaining this prop when a player perfectly clears a secret realm for the first time, and it can only be acquired in this way. Once obtained, it is bound compulsorily and cannot be traded, gifted, or used by other Supernatural Profession Players.

"Prop Description": "This prop is a tribute to the glory of genius youths who reveal their sharpness the moment they step into secret realms! Whether you are a meteoric talent that shines briefly or an unstoppable prodigy, the choice is yours."

"PS: The third stage task has been completed. The fourth stage task—if within three months, the player holding this prop tops any three city-wide leaderboards, the prop will be retained and promoted. Otherwise, it will be reclaimed."

This was his first Grade B prop.

Of course, this doesn't include the Grade B "Paru Ball" and the Grade B "Heavenly Palace", which belong to special effects props and are not regular ones. And the Heavenly Palace prop was lying peacefully underground right now, becoming a palace under the earth.

Naturally, it doesn't count that Grade S Taboo Item either. Taboo Items and props aren't in the same category. Moreover, he still doesn't know what effects this Taboo Item has. He has been trying hard to level up, but there's still quite a gap from reaching level 20.

Leveling up is a process that requires accumulating experience bit by bit.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It's hard to find ways to shorten this time; there are not many good methods. Even perfectly clearing secret realms only multiplies the experience gained by several times, it's not much.

And his first impression of this Grade B prop was...

Trash.

Utter trash.

Although they didn't seriously pursue the task to advance this prop, it was done incidentally, like the rankings for perfect clearance evaluations they just completed. He wasn't after the perfect clearance evaluations.

It just happened.

He fired off a few shots at random, and it turned out to be a perfect clear. He couldn't help it.

It really wasn't his intention to go for perfection, nor was he bullying the weak in those low-level secret realms. It was just that around his main base, there were all these wild secret realm entrances, and the vast majority of them were of low level. To clear enough space for his main base, he had no choice but to go.

But even though he had seen many online comments saying that the "Edge Fully Revealed" prop was a total trap, not only is the advancement task extremely difficult, the most important thing is, there's basically no use for it even after succeeding...

That's the most crucial point.

No matter how difficult a task is, there's always a way to complete it. But few are willing to attempt a challenging task that offers no rewards.

And advancing to the next stage within three months requires topping any three of Fengtian City's leaderboards. That's a bit terrifying. Discover more content at empire

From obtaining the prop to now, it's been just over two months.

Can you imagine?

How difficult is it for a novice supernatural player to climb to the top of any city leaderboard in just over two months? It's almost an impossible feat.

And now, he's supposed to top any six city leaderboards within five months.

That's just a pipe dream.

It's said that someone in Jingjiu City managed to advance the prop to Grade S and then couldn't go any further. Thinking about that guy now, he must be a deity in the fiercely competitive environment of Jingjiu City.

For a novice supernatural player to top six leaderboards in Jingjiu City within five months, their family must not have spared any expense.

Is such a goal attainable with money and connections?

Yes.

In theory, it's actually quite simple. You just need to make sure that all the supernaturals ranked above you on the leaderboard temporarily leave Jingjiu City. Wouldn't you naturally become the top then? That's also why the "Perfect Clearance Evaluation Leaderboard" in Fengtian City has a highest clear count of only six.

It's not that there are no stronger players.

It's just that the stronger ones are either dead or have left Fengtian City to develop in better cities.

In theory, it sounds simple, but in practice, the amount of money and favors needed to achieve this is astronomical. That's also why they say that after failing to advance to Grade SS, that person hasn't been heard from again.

Their family's fortune was probably exhausted in that one attempt.

...

...

Chen Miao glanced at the prop's panel without saying another word, not taking the matter to heart. Just let it be natural. He felt somewhat speechless about this prop—a Grade B prop with such attributes, he didn't even know how to begin criticizing it.

If it weren't for the fact that he found this wand extremely easy to use, he wouldn't even want to give this prop another glance.

The newly-added Disguiser effect, well, it could be somewhat useful, but it's quite meh.

Just as he lit a cigarette and was scanning his surroundings, undecided on where to go first, he received a message from the owner of the Haina Supernatural Store.

Very quickly—

After about fifteen minutes.

A chubby man hopped off a nearby sedan with a beaming smile and ran over, brandishing a box as if to claim credit, "Miao, you're finally back. With you here, Fengtian City seems to have its spirit back."

"I've recently gotten my hands on quite a few good items, all reserved for you, Miao. Just waiting for you to return."

"Come on, Miao, take a look. What do you think?"
