Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

With the unexpected discovery of Walrus Dick, this trip to the island was not in vain. Not to mention the discovery of materials for the production of the NZT-52, it was a complete harvest.

Zhou Ning's interest became even higher as he walked towards the next stall.

At the back, Zhou Ning also saw a stall selling kangaroo eggs, surrounded by a crowd of people.

At first, Zhou Ning thought that the kangaroos in this world were oviparous creatures, but according to the stall owner's introduction, he found that they were really kangaroo eggs. This is the special romance of the Benjamin Islands.

Kangaroo eggs have been used to make bottle openers, matchboxes, candies, and even coin purses, thanks to their seamless, one-piece, sac-like shape. During the Benjamin Islands gold rush, the lucky charms of the eggs made them a good luck bag for storing wicket coins, symbolizing a "bag of gold that goes in, never out."

There was even a sign on the stall that read: No egg should be wasted.

Zhou Ning immediately understood why Randolph's kangaroo had just shouted so defiantly, "Kangaroos will never be slaves again." It was truly tragic.

As for buying a coin purse, Zhou Ning was briefly tempted, but then shook his head. He was a principled man and could not pin his luck on the testicles of other creatures.

Walking along the street, Zhou Ning shook his head slightly in disappointment. Just as Randolph had introduced, few of the goods here were genuine. Occasionally, when he saw a genuine item in a stall, the price was 30% to 40% higher than the original price, which was simply outrageous.

But what puzzled Zhou Ning was that the sales of these unknown artifacts were surprisingly good. It seemed that with the arrival of the extraordinary wave, more ordinary people began to achieve extraordinary things. This also caused the prices of unknown artifacts to rise sharply.

In a transaction that Zhou Ning had just seen, an entry-level flintlock rifle was sold for 450 Vectra.

After wandering around the nearby stalls for a few times and finding nothing, Zhou Ning could only buy a bunch of religious and folk books at a bookstall and then chose to go to a roadside shop to take a look.

Perhaps due to the special identification mechanism of the Apocalypse World, Zhou Ning has despaired of his ability to find bargains. Even with the authority of knowledge, he still maintains a record of 0 rare items found. This is really unique.

Randolph first took the cargo kangaroo into a herbal medicine shop, and soon came out again, followed by a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, who bowed deeply to Zhou Ning with a very humble expression.

He was Randolph's father, a former university professor who had joined the Parliament of Knowledge.

The Parliament of Knowledge is apparently a relatively loose organization, and its members have relatively free beliefs. Take Professor Edwin of Wick University for example, he believes in the Earth Goddess Sect.

"Can such a loose structure really provide a stable anchor for the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?" This is the question Zhou Ning has been thinking about.

These roadside shops are generally owned by the Council of Knowledge, the Northern Pirate Kingdom, or the official Revendreth, and their prices are generally 30% higher than those at street vendors, but the counterfeit rate is relatively low.

Following Randolph's introduction, Zhou Ning walked into a shop belonging to the Parliament of Knowledge. According to his observation, this shop happened to have a richer spiritual atmosphere.

The first floor of the store sold some spell materials and special spells. Jasmine was very interested in these cards and spells, so she stopped on the first floor, while Zhou Ning went directly to the second floor.

As he had sensed, there were some unknown and strange objects with a strong spiritual aura here. A northerner clerk in a white shirt came over and bowed slightly, saying:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Ning thought for a moment and asked:

"I want to buy some top-tier extraordinary armor with minimal negative effects. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Top-level extraordinary armor?"

The clerk showed a surprised expression on his face. Apparently, few people made such a request. He led Zhou Ning to a display window and took out a silver armor.

"This armor comes from the Walrus tribe. It comes with a level 9700 Ice Bodyguard spell and a level Summoning Ice Spirit spell. It also slightly increases your agility. The lowest price is Vekta. Are you interested?"

9700 Vectra, this price is too outrageous... Zhou Ning was shocked by this astonishingly high price.

However, armor with enchantments like this was still quite rare, especially this one, which was probably a top-tier unknown item. After thinking it over, he decided to pay for it. He definitely wouldn't need it himself, but he could sell it to players. If it worked well, it wouldn't be a problem to sell it for double the price.

Then Zhou Ning walked around again and saw an object with the strongest spiritual color near the third floor. It was a long black coat, which seemed to have the same origin as the experience hat [Mansong's Knowledge] he had bought before.

Zhou Ning pointed at the long black coat and asked:

"how much is this shirt?"

"This dress has a very negative impact. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Seeing Zhou Ning nodded, the clerk stopped trying to dissuade him and continued to introduce:

"This garment is an unknown artifact of decent quality. It makes the wearer smarter and more insightful, but it has the negative effect of causing the wearer to lose their spirituality and body temperature, gradually becoming undead, and this is irreversible. If you really want it, you can take it for 2000 Vekta."

The price was obviously overpriced. He was not lucky enough to get a bargain. However, this negative effect was just like the [Mansong's Knowledge] he often used, which could be easily suppressed. Zhou Ning did not bargain and directly pushed a stack of 2000 yuan bills to the clerk.

The equipment information also popped up on the panel:

Mansong's Teachings

Equipment Level: Set-type unknown item (2/6)

Required Level: 65

Armor Value: 17

Attributes: Spirit +47, Will -5

Equipment Effect 15: Experience is increased by an additional 10%, attack speed is increased by %, and your insight is greatly increased.

Equipment Effect 2: Your learning speed will increase slightly.

Negative effects: Wearing it will cause you to gradually lose your spirituality and body temperature, turning you into a living undead. This process is irreversible.

As expected, it was the same set of items, and the effect was quite good. Taking into account the 10% bonus from the hat, Zhou Ning suddenly had an additional 25% experience bonus. This was undoubtedly quite impressive.

After buying the [Mansong's Teachings], Zhou Ning walked around the store again, but didn't find anything else. He took out his pocket watch, clicked it open and checked the time. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

When they returned to the first floor, Jasmine had already finished her shopping. She was waiting for Zhou Ning there, carrying bags and dangling the Blue-Eyes White Dragon lantern she had bought earlier.

"Is there anything else you need to buy?" Zhou Ning asked with a smile.

"I've already bought it."

Seeing Jasmine shaking her head, Zhou Ning greeted Randolph, raised his hand and pressed Jasmine's shoulder, then their figures disappeared from the spot and reappeared at the dock of Sosi Island.

Several sailors were chatting on the deck, and the cabin on the first floor was quiet. The fat businessman next to him seemed to have not returned yet.

Returning to his cabin, Zhou Ning quickly closed the door and isolated himself with a spiritual wall. Then, he grabbed a set of alchemical tools from the void and placed them on the table one by one.

He plans to produce the NZT-52 in one go tonight.
