Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

As a villain with great personal charm, Crazy Clown's combat power is probably not as strong as this template, but Zhou Ning is sure that his practicality is far inferior to Crazy Clown, at least before he awakens the loser.

Zhou Ning, having watched the previous simulation, knew that sometimes combat prowess wasn't everything. A lunatic who was adept at toying with human nature and had no moral compass was truly terrifying.

Zhou Ning sighed. It would be great if Crazy Clown had Killer Queen's ability as a stand-in. A Crazy Clown with Killer Queen's power would definitely be a killer-level character. Maybe he would even have a chance to kill the vampire Zhou Ning.

Let’s use this template tonight to review its strength. Maybe we’ll get some unexpected surprises.

The remaining rewards still have some ordinary skill points that are not used. Most players choose to use them on life skills that cannot be improved by experience points.

However, in the Apocalypse game, ordinary skill points can only be used to upgrade skills below the expert level, and skills above the expert level can only be upgraded with gold skill points. Zhou Ning considered it and decided to keep it for the time being. In the next day or two, he was confident that he could upgrade the puppet alchemy level to the intermediate level, and then use skill points to upgrade it to the advanced level, which would be more cost-effective.

The next morning, Zhou Ning came to the school library in a good mood. His clan motto, Knowledge is Power, required him to read at least two books every day to gain knowledge, and the hidden task, Literary Life, also required him to read.

What a coincidence, everything seems to be specially arranged.

Today, Zhou Ning's main goal is to find some historical books from the period of the Four Heroes, as well as some information about the ancient Modoric people. After this simulation, Zhou Ning is very interested in this period of history.

It would be nice to see people praising themselves in history books. Zhou Ning loves to read that kind of content.

Historical books are in the fourth and fifth columns of the bookshelf. They are so vast and difficult to find.

Zhou Ning thought about it, then walked around to the library entrance and looked at the librarian:

"Do you have any historical texts about the period of the Four Heroes? Or any information about the ancient Mordoric people? Any kind will do."

It was only then that Zhou Ning discovered that the librarian had been replaced at some point. A girl with orange hair and wearing patched clothes was sitting in front of the desk.

I took a quick glance at her figure and saw that she had big breasts and was very beautiful. Yes, it was the player's wife, Chrissy Bradenreiser.

"Ichiro Shen... Sorry, I'm used to it. This question is free. But I have to look for it."

Chris blushed and turned around quickly, going to the drawers at the back. She found the drawer labeled "Modorik" in the history section, pulled out a card, and pointed out the location of the bookshelf to Zhou Ning.

"There's only one book about the Modoric people: 'The Customs and Tales of the Old World' by Scott Murray. It's in the fourth column, second row. There are twelve books about the Four Heroes, and three of them are historical. However, with your authority, you can only borrow one: 'A Study of Historical Documents of the Four Heroic Period' by Edwin Henry. It can be found in the third column, fourth row."

Zhou Ning couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the historical data of the Four Heroes period was so scarce.

After thanking her, Zhou Ning came to the bookshelf Chris mentioned and took out the two books she mentioned to borrow.

Back in the dormitory, he couldn't wait to open the borrowed book and start reading.

After a moment, Zhou Ning frowned. Perhaps because it was a long time ago, more than half of the words had faded and become blurred.

However, a line of prompts popped up in front of me:

[You are currently studying archaeology on your own. Due to your willpower, your proficiency has increased by 2 points (Extreme Calmness +0.2, Divine Favor +1)]

"The Age of the Four Heroes was a time of profound mystery and immense grandeur. Legend has it that during this era, the weather remained stable, and the three seasons still existed: budding, growing, and fruiting... Each season was governed by its own goddess."

"During this period, the gods still favored the human world, and supernatural powers were extremely common. The Four Heroes were at the pinnacle of supernatural powers, the legendary agents of the gods."

"According to surviving historical records, the steam engine we now use extensively was invented by one of the Four Heroes. Historians generally attribute it to Sir Archibald the Righteous Flame."

"...As for the names and origins of the four heroes, only two have historical records: High Priestess Louisa Wright and Archibald MacLeish, the Flame of Justice. The legend of these two has persisted for nearly 600 years, and even now, the Kingdom of Westfalic still retains the hereditary titles of the four heroes' descendants."

"Regarding the other two of the four heroes, based on incomplete historical records, one of them was likely assassinated. There are two theories regarding his death in the historical community: treason and blasphemy. It's as if his deeds were suddenly and forcibly erased from history, leaving them shrouded in mystery."

"...So until now, we can only remember them through the statues standing on the banks of the Seton River."

Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows. As expected, almost all of his historical information had disappeared in the long river of history. He was just a little curious about what Jasmine had done.

Jasmine: ...

Her voice was a little muffled: "Don't ask me, I don't remember either."

Zhou Ning smiled and did not ask any further questions. He turned his attention back to the book in front of him.

It was not until the reading progress reached 5002/10000 that Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head again.

Zhou Ning didn't find any useful clues from these two books. Not to mention the four heroes, it was completely confusing. He only knew that his descendants might be living in the Kingdom of Sifarik.

The books about the Modoric people were even worse. Zhou Ning only knew that they were a minority group living in the ancient Kingdom of Luins. They had a custom of using Modoric Cubes to preserve important documents. It was said that ancient alchemy originated from the Modoric people.

But the good news is that when Zhou Ning finished reading these two books, a hint appeared in front of him.

[Your proficiency in archeology has reached 100%, and you have acquired a life skill: Archeology (beginner)]

[You have obtained historical fragments x2]

"That's fine, it's always good to have many skills."

Zhou Ning packed up the books and placed them on the desk, preparing to return them tomorrow. Then, he put on his hat, left the dormitory, and headed for his alchemy laboratory.

Today he planned to advance his puppet alchemy to the advanced level in one go.

When I reached the corner of the alley and turned another corner, I found myself at my alchemy laboratory. Suddenly, an alarming sense of crisis arose in my heart.

Almost instinctively, Zhou Ning bent his knees suddenly and rolled to the side.

"Snap", a bolt of lightning struck the spot.

If Zhou Ning had hesitated for even half a second longer, he would have probably turned into a ball of charcoal by now!
