Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[Puppet Mechanical Hound: Click to summon a small pet that can help you in battle or just be used for viewing.]

The puppet mechanical hound requires a lot of materials, but it seems that they are useless, so there is no need to make them for the time being.

Zhou Ning didn't hesitate. After raising Puppet Alchemy to Intermediate, he immediately invested a valuable skill point to raise it to Advanced. The game panel immediately displayed a prompt:

[Your Puppet Alchemy has reached an advanced level, and you have acquired a new skill: Energy Conservation.]

[You have mastered a new recipe: Robotic Arm.]

[Robotic Arm: Click to summon a flexible robotic arm, which needs to be fixed to a wall or shelf to assist you with some tedious tasks.]

Zhou Ning's eyes lit up. The upgraded resource saving skill was a pretty good skill that could passively save 20% of materials, which was pretty good.

It was the [Robotic Arm] that gave Zhou Ning a bit of a headache. This thing was a bit like the robotic arm assistant Xiao Dai used by Tony Stark in "Iron Man". It couldn't be said that this thing was bad, but the problem was that it probably just looked beautiful. How smart could it be if it was driven by an alchemy array?

It might just be an artificial idiot, and the materials are extremely expensive, and the alchemy array is extremely complicated. A conservative estimate is that it will cost close to 600 Vekta.

This was somewhat embarrassing for the poor Zhou Ning.

But no matter how much we complain, we still have to do it. What if it works better than we imagined?

After resting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Ning started preparing the herbs and doing his daily routine of formula deduction.

[你消耗了8000经验，天麻草x1、水蛭粉x1、斑点老虎草x1、节草x1，你推演出了新配方：变身药水。]

[Transformation Potion: Expert-level alchemy formula. Requires Gastrodia elata, Leech powder, Spotted tiger grass, and knotweed. After taking it, you will be transformed into another person for 30 minutes.]

"What? Transformation potion?" Zhou Ning couldn't believe his eyes. This was a burst of luck!

Needless to say, this must be the work of the simulator itself. It is almost exactly the same as the Polyjuice Potion in Harry Potter. It is very shameless, but it is indeed very useful. It is a must-have for home and travel. Zhou Ning has been coveting it for a long time.

In the next few days, in addition to making the necessary devil fruits, the robotic arms and transformation potions will be the focus of my work.

After finishing everything, Zhou Ning opened his pocket watch to check the time. It was only 2:40. The young man was full of vigor and energy, and his nightlife had just begun. There was still time for him to play some games.

After the last time traveling, Zhou Ning still had 33 time traveling coins left. His purpose tonight was to test the strength of the template [Ordinary Office Worker·Zhou Ning]. There was no need to rush to [War of the Gods] to continue the journey.

After clicking on the retracing interface, Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment among the three optional worlds: [Lost in the Fog City], [Infinite War] and [Across the Four Seas], and then chose [Lost in the Fog City] to retrace.

There are still two collectibles missing in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". According to the description in the Hall of Rare Items, one should be the bow that comes with the bow and arrow, and the other may be the remains of a saint, or it may be the bloodline of the Pillar Man. It will be fine if I can get any one of them in this time of traveling.

Zhou Ning is very confident in this template.

[Preparing to backtrack...Travel Coins -20]

【Please select the time travel mode...】

【1. Select a random template to travel through.】

【2. Select an existing template to cross.】

Zhou Ning chose 2 without hesitation and entered the backtracking phase.

Three cards appeared in front of him, namely the disposable template Godfather Zhou Ning, the peerless hero Zhou Ning, and the permanent template ordinary office worker Zhou Ning.

After locking onto ordinary office worker Zhou Ning, he chose to start.

[Matching in progress...]

Match successful. In this parallel world, you're an ordinary office worker. You crave an ordinary life, pursuing a life like a plant. You hate fighting, believing it to be both empty and endless. Beneath your elegant exterior, you harbor a peculiar hobby: you adore perfect hands, whether they're others' or your own.

[The current world exploration level is 86.7%. Please pay attention to yourself as a fellow traveler.]

[When you die in this replay, the game ends.]

【Note: When using templates to travel, you can freely choose the time and location of travel.】

[Note: In Retrospective Mode, the template character possesses strong subjective initiative. Ordinary Office Worker Zhou Ning's camp is absolutely neutral. You have no control over the character's behavior in Retrospective Mode.]

【You are thinking about traveling through time and place.】

You chose Rome, Italy, 1938.

[You traveled back to Rome, Italy in 1938. From this moment on, the wheel of history began to turn.]

Zhou Ning had carefully considered choosing this time period and location, as it offered a reasonable chance of obtaining the Pillar Man's bloodline. It also perfectly coincided with the possible existence of a vampire, Zhou Ning, lurking in England.

And according to the JOJO timeline, the bow and arrow in this world should have been discovered in Egyptian ruins in 1986. As long as you are not too uninformed, you should have a good chance of getting them.

This wave is called Dragon Ride - how to lose?

On March 1938, 3, you stood penniless and alone on the streets of Rome. This vast city, known as an open-air historical museum, was dotted with squares and churches. Due to the Great Depression of the 9s and the invasion of Ethiopia, the city wasn't particularly prosperous. But precisely because of this, the blend of classical and modern culture brought you a long-lost sense of peace. You adjusted your blue suit. Perhaps living here wouldn't be a bad idea. As for pursuing a grand cause like other time travelers, fighting the Pillar Men or exploring Egyptian ruins? Sorry, my greatest wish is to live a quiet, inconspicuous life.

On March 1938, 3, although you could only communicate in English, you found a decent temporary job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant, working from 10 to 100 and earning lire a day. The only downside was that the owner's wife was older and her hands weren't particularly beautiful, which didn't suit your taste.

From March 1938 to April 3, 11, the days passed as peacefully as you'd expect. An ordinary job, an ordinary salary, an ordinary life. But one thing was quite extraordinary: you read in the newspaper about Zhou Ning, the greatest scientist of this century. He won three Nobel Prizes and went on to invent over 1938 things, including the airplane, wireless telegraphy, and the optical interferometer. Oh, and then there was Dio Brando. Perhaps it was the butterfly effect, but he didn't become a vampire, but instead became a formidable athlete and physicist. Seeing the photo of his extremely contorted body frozen in time, paired with a look of superiority, you can't help but feel a strange sense of time and space intersecting.

[Also, in Italy, you're quite popular with women, and you've dated a few pretty girls with beautiful hands. The moment you hold their hands, you have an urge to keep them for yourself, but your mind tells you that sometimes, even when you can't get what you want, there's a kind of beauty in that.]

April 1938, 4. Today is a Roman holiday. To celebrate the founding of Rome in 21 BC, all archaeological sites and operating museums are open to the public free of charge. You've also had a long-awaited vacation. In a corner of Rome, you see a historical site guarded by German soldiers. You can't help but suspect that this is where the Pillar Man rests, but what does it matter to you? You leave without looking back.
