Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Extraordinary ingredients like these often only increase stats once, or have a law of diminishing returns. This mussel is a relatively rare example of the latter, but the price is ridiculous. Zhou Ning simply bought some dried mussels to take home and eat slowly, hoping to increase his stats a bit more.

As they strolled along, the time had already reached 8pm. Zhou Ning finished his last bite of mussel meat, turned to look at Jasmine, and asked frankly:

"I'm planning on going to the big market on West Island. What about you?"

"I'll go too. It's a good opportunity to see if I can pick up some extraordinary materials for making talismans." Jasmine said without hesitation.

Just like the Berlin Wall that once separated East Germany and West Germany on Earth, the wall-like mountain completely separates the east and west sides of the island. The only way to pass through is to take a horse-drawn carriage on the winding mountain road along the wall-shaped mountain, or take a killer elevator.

Of course, Zhou Ning also had an option of using the traveler's power to directly climb over it, but since he was just killing time, there was no need to do so. After identifying the direction, he headed towards the wall-shaped mountain.

Compared with other areas, it is said that due to the influence of the Ice and Snow Goddess, the weather on Sosi Island has always been relatively cold and snowy. On the way to the Wall Mountain, a new weather type is even unlocked: needle snow.

This is a new feature released after the last update: collect various weather types in the Apocalypse World. The previous unlock gave Zhou Ning a 200 health bonus.

At the bottom of the wall-like mountain, there is a seemingly unreliable "elevator" every few hundred meters. The door is always open, which looks very dangerous. It can accommodate 6-8 people. Each person entering is required to pay an 8 roshen fee.

After entering, it will automatically rise up not long after. In addition to Jasmine, Zhou Ning entered the iron gate with a werewolf youth with a defiant look in his eyes. Next to him was a huge cargo kangaroo and a low-level druid wearing the emblem of the Church of the Goddess of Life.

Like the island of Tartarus, these kangaroos are tamed and commanded by corresponding low-level druids.

"This is truly a miracle of applied alchemy!" Jasmine couldn't help but sigh as she gazed at the elevator's interior, which was covered in glyphs. "In my time, alchemy wasn't nearly as advanced as it is today. Mr. Goodwin truly revolutionized alchemy."

Zhou Ning nodded silently. From the little history he had learned, Goodwin had indeed made an indelible contribution to alchemy. Old Turing, and even his own alchemy research, had a large influence on Goodwin. What Zhou Ning found hard to imagine was that this truly legendary alchemist was actually working for him.

The "elevator" swayed upwards. After about 4 to 5 minutes, the "elevator" reached the top of the wall-like mountain, then climbed over it and began to sink.

The whole process took about 8 minutes. After the "elevator" landed smoothly, the island area opposite the mountain already belonged to the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth.

Zhou Ning noticed that the proportion of werewolves and walruses here had increased significantly, and many of the pedestrians on the road were northern pirates carrying scimitars and flintlock rifles.

Pirates, who cannot set foot on land openly in other countries, are a legitimate profession here.

The large number of werewolves is also the current situation of the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth. The Sea Kingdom of Revendreth is the origin of the Magic Ball. In the previous life, the Magic Ball was regarded as an easter egg in the game. There is a Magic Ball World Championship every four years. At that time, eight of the nine people representing the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth had werewolf blood, which shocked the players who followed this event.

The location of the big market is not far from here, on the west side of the main street about 1 to 2 kilometers away. At this moment, a noise came from the distance.

A druid was anxiously casting a green spell in his hand, trying to control the cargo kangaroo in front of him, but he seemed to have forgotten the corresponding spell, and his mouth opened and closed uselessly.

The other party ignored him and threw the goods on his back to the ground. He looked back with a defiant look, a smile on his face, and spoke in standard Faric language:

"Who gave you the courage to try to drive a druid? Kangaroos will never be enslaved."

The next second, it knocked the druid down with a punch, and then ran to the other end of the street without looking back.

Jasmine showed a surprised expression:

"We seem to have just seen them?"

...This... Zhou Ning couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Yes, this druid and the cargo kangaroo had just met and just took the "elevator" together a few minutes ago, but the current situation did not allow him to not think too much.

This kangaroo has acquired human nature and wisdom, mastered the Faric language, and even claimed to be a druid. The druid seemed to have lost the ability to use the corresponding spells. Could the so-called miracle be the transfer of knowledge and wisdom?

If this transfer came at the cost of the other party's loss, then things would be truly serious. Even his plan to head directly to the City of Omniscience would have to be adjusted. After all, no one knew what the God of Knowledge and Wisdom intended.

Although he has a good reputation, Zhou Ningke has not forgotten his other alias. The separated god of alchemy and craftsmen is an evil god in this era, and he is also part of the crazy personality of the elven goddess.

Zhou Ning had no doubt that the two sides had most likely become enemies in advance.

What's worse is that the knowledge authority Zhou Ning currently possesses is not enough to confront the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He can only try to use his own knowledge authority to eliminate the impact that has already been caused.

"Wait for me here for a moment."

Zhou Ning exhaled, and in full view of everyone, his figure disappeared from the spot. Just two or three seconds later, he returned here carrying the delivery kangaroo.

"You are... Wayne Stewell?"

The druid also recognized Zhou Ning at this time, with a look of surprise and awe on his face. However, since they were on different sides, and the other party had recently killed their own god, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Zhou Ning asked the druid to take two steps forward, and used the authority of knowledge to transform into countless illusory threads of light, which reached out to the druid and the delivery kangaroo respectively.

There are countless tiny spots of light in their minds, which gather together to form balls of light that are large or small. Zhou Ning understands that they are all knowledge.

Then, Zhou Ning tried to touch these light balls with his spiritual power and found that these were knowledge in various fields, and their sizes were determined by their richness.

With Zhou Ning's current knowledge and authority, he could move, destroy, overwrite, and instill this knowledge to a certain extent. The lower the opponent's status, the less spiritual energy he would consume, and the more he could accomplish.

As expected, none of the exclusive authority of these righteous gods is weak... Zhou Ning sighed inwardly and used his spiritual power to transfer the newly added knowledge of Kangaroo Thinking back into the Druid's mind.

But when he wanted to move the knowledge again, Zhou Ning clearly felt that he seemed to have touched a high and profound divine consciousness, and it took a lot of effort to complete the knowledge transfer.

"Okay." Zhou Ning let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, I can still cope with it, but unfortunately, it is quite difficult to cope with it.

"Your kindness makes me look sideways." The druid bowed his head deeply in gratitude.

Faced with the druid's sincere gratitude, Zhou Ning waved his hand indifferently. After all, it was just a matter of convenience, and he did not expect the other party to provide him with any rewards.
