Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning always had a feeling that the players would give him a big surprise this time.

At the same time, the five hero players who opened the door received the prompt at the same time:

[You have triggered the first stage of the door-opening quest [Close Combat]. This quest is unique and can only be claimed by the top five faction quest takers. As a hero among the Chosen, sometimes you must shoulder more responsibility!]

[Mission Requirements: Assemble your team, with any number of members, and search and fight all enemies throughout the city, but do not leave the city limits.]

[Task Description: There is no upper limit on the number of team members, no level restrictions, and no faction restrictions.]

[Tip: This task is a chain task. The next task will be unlocked after completing the task. The completion rate of the task is determined by the number of team members.]

【奖励：基础奖励280万经验；韦恩·斯特威尔降临卡*1；未知奇物：屠魔令永久使用权*1，未知奇物：海妖坠饰使用资格;准奇迹物品：加拉尔霍恩使用资格*1，韦恩·斯特威尔的好感度20。】

This mission is an extra benefit I give to the players who contribute the most money. I currently have enough blank advent cards in stock, so I can afford to spend them. They are also a good reward for the first round of missions. As for the eligibility to use the Demon Slayer Order... this item is a golden Den Den Mushi, which can call a naval fleet to launch an indiscriminate and destructive attack on the area that sends the signal. It is a consumable item and can be used exactly five times.

This is undoubtedly tailor-made. Although we don't know how strong the so-called fleet is, it will definitely be useful. Zhou Ning set the number of opening heroes to five with this consideration.

As for temporarily lending the quasi-miracle item Gjallarhorn to the players, this was a guarantee Zhou Ning gave them. After all, he couldn't always take care of them. The last time the players used it in the dream, the effect was quite good. The underwater sinking star even summoned Gleipnir, providing effective help to himself.

After receiving the task, several heroes who opened the door looked at the task rewards and showed surprise on their faces. Then Zhou Ning waved them over and caught a golden Den Den Mushi and a golden horn with a large number of runes engraved on all sides, and threw them to Shuidi Chenxing and Tangshan Big Brother respectively.

"Your mission this time is arduous, requiring you to be on your own. I will only occasionally monitor you. This item, the Demon Slayer Order, and the Gjallarhorn are at your disposal. Don't be frugal; use them when necessary. Prioritize protecting yourselves."

The protagonist was as gentle as ever towards the players. Shuidi Chenxing felt she had made the right choice. The Demon Slayer Order in his hand only had five uses, but the reward stated it was permanent. So they should be able to use it without hesitation; its power was definitely considerable.

"Wow, that's awesome." Except for Alex who remained reserved, the others couldn't wait to watch. After a moment, they exclaimed in surprise and began to decide who would use the Demon Slayer Order in which round.

Shuidi Shenxing, who is used to showing off, once again posted the task text and task rewards on the forum and public screen, which also aroused the envy and jealousy of the players.

After that, several people began to quickly form their own teams. As usual, Shuidi Chenxing covered the expenses of the entire team's potions, materials, and mechanical puppets. He also gave subsidies to the top ten output and treatment players. His team had the largest number of people, and included two powerful professional players, Jinse and Zhufeng Lei Tingfury.

After receiving the job transfer mission, Jinse was full of energy. She even forgot about the nonsense like "Princess, please get in the car" and joined the group actively. She immediately urged the team to set off.

Of course, with the title of Gate-Opening Hero and the large-scale team mission as a call, many players also wanted to join the teams of the other four Gate-Opening Heroes. Five super-large teams were quickly formed and headed to various places in the city.

Compared with the previous door-opening tasks, this time it is a real national carnival. There are live broadcasts on forums and even on TV stations, and experts analyze the next plot direction.

There is no upper limit on team size, no level restrictions, and no faction restrictions. The number of participants exceeded 20 for the first time.

Many players who are at work are scratching their heads, regretting that they don’t know how to clone themselves.

At this time, the gunshots around became more and more frequent, and even bursts of explosions were heard in some places, as if someone had detonated a bomb.

"I'll go with you. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. The enemy's strength may be stronger than it appears on paper." Jasmine said with a little concern.

Zhou Ning nodded. The priests of the Ascetic Church had profound attainments in the fields of holy words and prophecy, and Jasmine was a leader among them. Zhou Ning naturally would not ignore her opinion.

Zhou Ning quickly glanced around and saw that the gas streetlights had been lit, slightly dispersing the surrounding fog. The surroundings had become exceptionally cold. After completely controlling the weather, the Church of Poseidon had brought not only smog and thunderstorms to Dulles, but also solid ice. Battles were raging simultaneously in at least hundreds of locations within the city, some even emanating a strong aura of death. There were about a dozen similar areas.

Presumably, those places are what Hugo Bulwer described as replicas of the plague of undead on Tartarus.

In the distance, there was a crowd of people. A pirate demigod and a group of pirates were rushing towards this side, holding various weapons in their hands, shooting indiscriminately at the people around them, but they were soon surrounded by a group of players, and the sound of fine gunfire continued to be heard.

Zhou Ning stopped for a moment and took a quick look at the battle situation. The strength displayed by the players was a little beyond his expectations. The top players were not much worse than the demigods. The similar number of players could actually suppress the same number of pirates.

Zhou Ning smiled, feeling a surge of pride in his heart. This was the butterfly effect he brought about. You have to know that during this period in his previous life, players couldn't even compete with demigods, and even a single demigod had to rely on gang beatings.

His arrival undoubtedly greatly enhanced the players' horizons and strength. Now they could look demigods in the eye, no longer held angels in awe, and even dared to draw their swords against gods.

Zhou Ning didn't interfere with the players' fight, trusting them to resolve it independently. He determined the direction and headed directly towards the area with the highest concentration of necromancy. In the realm of mysticism, necromancy possessed a strong exclusive and corrosive nature, unable to coexist with any other element. This also prevented him from teleporting directly into that area.

Fortunately, the distance between the two is only about 4 kilometers. With Zhou Ning's speed, he can reach it in an instant.

Along the way, Zhou Ning encountered countless northern pirates. They slaughtered people in every corner of the city, fighting with the army and police. There were even ships flying pirate flags that sailed into the city along the canal, and artillery fire continued to fall nearby.

However, under Zhou Ning's full momentum, all the Northern pirates within a hundred meters of Zhou Ning lost consciousness one after another and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zhou Ning could already see a strange door standing in the distance. The door was open, and behind the door was deep darkness with no end in sight. In the deep darkness were densely packed, indescribable scarlet eyes.

This is an extraordinary item that contains the breath of death, at least it is at the level of a miracle item!
