[National backing + unlimited resources + livestreaming + no romance + face-slapping]
The National Fate restricted zone has arrived, and one chosen contestant is randomly selected from each country. Whatever resources they obtain while surviving are manifested in the real world a hundredfold.
The Lighthouse Nation draws a top soldier, and the Cherry Blossom Nation draws a ninjutsu master. When it's the Dragon Kingdom's turn, the selection screen spins wildly before finally landing on Zhao Gang, a second-class sergeant who manages a warehouse at a logistics base.
The whole internet falls silent. “It's over. He's a warehouse manager who can't even get his hands on a gun...”
But Zhao Gang looks at his bound talent and grins:
[Protection of the National Will: Any supplies within the Dragon Kingdom, where the Host is based, can be teleported directly to the battlefield in the restricted zone.]
While others stab wild wolves with daggers, Zhao Gang pulls out a heavy machine gun.
While others use wooden shields to block a rain of arrows, an automated close-in weapon system drops from above Zhao Gang's head.
While the Lighthouse Nation's contestant shivers in a blizzard, Zhao Gang sits in a temperature-controlled field barracks, making himself a bowl of braised beef instant noodles.
The world's livestream chat explodes:
“This isn't a chosen contestant. He's playing the whole game with the entire Dragon Kingdom behind him!”
“Warning! The Dragon Kingdom's contestant is in serious violation of the rules. He's requested a saturation bombardment!”
When the myriad races descend, while the chosen contestants of other countries are risking their lives over a single survival token, Zhao Gang drags a giant weapon out of the portal. It bears the words “Dongfeng Express: Mission Accomplished,” and he takes aim at the enemy's main camp.
