[Western Crossover] Building a European and American Town, Starting With Gacha

In this day and age, no one has a zero chance of getting hit with a system.

When Yuan Liu got hit with one, he thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of life.

System: [Our System will help you build an incredible European and American-themed town.]

[It'll be full of the most awesome animated protagonists who have no hope for life!]

[And lame superheroes! Idiotic horror-movie protagonists who never listen! Old-fashioned detectives from last century who know nothing about surveillance tech!]

[A theme park, baby!!!]

Yuan Liu looked at the characters the System offered to summon, his fingers trembling. Wait, what do Disney and Warner have to say about this?

System: [There are two ways to do it. One will work for three hundred years, and the other will solve everything once and for all. Which one do you choose?]

Yuan Liu said hopefully, "Obviously, I want the one that solves everything once and for all."

System: [Awesome! The Host is a real tough guy! Let me activate the world-destruction plan!]

Yuan Liu: Three hundred years! Three hundred years! I choose the three-hundred-year option!

The System said regretfully: [All right, I've signed three-hundred-year licensing deals with all the major IP holders. Here, this is your three-trillion debt note. Remember to pay it back. It's fine if you can't pay it all off. You'll work for us in your next life, and the life after that. Long live hard work!]

Yuan Liu: Damn it! Cancel my subscription right now!

System: [No take-backs! We've already set off! New game, new world!]

With three trillion hanging over his head, Yuan Liu tearfully accepted the European and American-themed town, then casually pulled a card in the exploration roguelike game provided by the System.

N-rank card [Sherlock Holmes]

NNNNNboooooo----rank card [Iron Man]

Glorious SSSR-rank card [Licker from Resident Evil]

Barely an R-rank card, saved by a decent movie [Batman from The Dark Knight Trilogy]

Yuan Liu: "..."

For the sake of the park, he had no choice but to keep pulling cards, pulling cards, pulling cards!

System: [Come on! The world's best card-drawing game, with absolutely no fairness or impartiality! It's all rigged by yours truly, to give the Host the best possible experience!]

[Come on!]

[Pull a card! Go on, pull! Hurry up and draw!]

[Have you drawn a card today?]

Scene 1:

Yuan Liu: I pulled Nightwing today. Nice.

Batfleck: Who's Nightwing?

Yuan Liu: ...How do I put this? You might not believe me, but he's your son.

Batfleck: ?

Afterward----

Batfleck, convinced Nightwing's mother must be Catwoman: Even though your mother and I went our separate ways, we were once in love.

Dick: ????

Scene 2:

After countless close calls and a lot of hard work, Yuan Liu finally saved up enough for a ten-pull and opened the System.

Yuan Liu: ? System! Get out here! Where's my card-drawing screen?

System: [Here. I upgraded the card-drawing feature, with a super deluxe, absolutely amazing upgrade.]

Yuan Liu: "...You mean this ad that redirects straight to your shady shop as soon as the screen opens??"

System: [No, I added the options 'Thanks for Nothing for Participating' and 'Idiot, There's No Prize Here!' Yay!!!]

Yuan Liu: "..."

Sooner or later, he was going to kill this System.
