Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

When the countdown reached zero, the dark sky was instantly illuminated by the flames. Countless meteors streaked across the sky, falling from the sky like flowers scattered by fairies across the continent.

Ever since Zhou Ning's popularity exploded in the game "Apocalypse," coupled with the game company's tireless promotional efforts, its popularity has continued to rise. Just how popular has it become? Promotional videos featuring Zhou Ning can be seen everywhere, on screens large and small, and on various billboards... 24/7.

Until the day the public beta began, players who had already been bombarded with Stockholm syndrome could no longer wait to put on their gaming helmets. Those who had mines at home even prepared their gaming cabins. They found a comfortable position to lie down or recline, and logged into the game on time at twelve o'clock.

……

"Oh my god, this is absolutely amazing!"

Xilin Town, one of the novice settlements in the Kingdom of Blyston.

In this ordinary little town, public beta players who had already created their characters appeared out of nowhere, looking around in amazement.

"This... is this the game world?"

"Fuck, this is too real, isn't it?"

"Hiss... I can feel the pain." Someone pinched himself hard.

"Oh my god, oh my god, you can even take off your pants!" Someone took off his pants and stared between his legs in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"The character setting defaults to your gender? I have a special idea... Can I create a new female character?" Someone found a blind spot.

"Hehe, friend, you can go and give it a try. If it succeeds, remember to cheer your brothers up." Someone laughed.

"Are you talking about your mom? I want to play a female character so I can be self-sufficient. If I'm lucky and my charm is high, maybe I can seduce Wayne Stewell and become his wife to get some benefits!"

Everyone:...

The air was silent for a moment, and a large open space suddenly appeared next to the perverted man.

Before long, more and more players appeared, and soon there were a dense crowd of one to two thousand people, comparable to a small army. The only thing that made people feel out of place was that this group of people was too noisy:

Some people were jumping around, some were rolling on the ground. To the aborigines, they looked like idiots...

According to the setting of the game "Apocalypse", there are two ways for players to descend. One is the regular start of being born in a novice village. This start is more stable, closer to the town, easier to find a job, and has relatively complete novice tasks to help growth.

The other type is random travel like XB. After this type of player arrives, he will directly inherit the identities of some ordinary people in this world.

This is more radical. The good situation is like XB, who was born in Dockland, has a natural professional skill, has a stable job at the beginning, and has good talents.

In the past, there were even some lucky players who had special opportunities as soon as they appeared, and acquired some rare skills or even rare expertise.

As for the worse... Zhou Ning had also seen an unlucky guy who was a wanted criminal from birth. This game required a cooling-off period after his account was deleted, and it was extremely frustrating to play.

The gathering of players naturally alerted the townspeople. Not long after, an old man with a rugged white beard who looked like Marx hurried over, walked to the square, and shouted:

"Welcome to Xilin Town, adventurers. I am the mayor here, Brunson Meier."

Brunson glanced at the players present and found that they were unexpectedly honest, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He dreamed last night of a revelation from the gods, which asked him to be responsible for receiving the upcoming chosen ones and helping them integrate into life in this world.

Brunson was skeptical at first, until the guards in the town informed that a large group of unidentified refugees had suddenly appeared in the town, he couldn't help being startled, and then rushed over in a hurry.

"Starting today, you can stay in this town temporarily. But whether you can get residency depends on your performance. And if you expect the people in this town to provide you with free food and lodging like your parents, that's obviously unlikely. You must find a job to support yourself."

The players were surprised at Brunson's words, and then they started discussing:

"Holy crap, this NPC is so smart! His expressions and language are exactly like a real person!"

"Maybe it's played by a real person..."

"Haha, regardless of whether or not it's real, I can't go to class. I can only survive by killing monsters."

"There are many places in town that need workers right now. The lumber mill needs a lot of lumberjacks, and the tavern needs boxers. The alchemy shop and engineering shop north of town also need apprentices. As long as you work hard, you won't starve."

Brunson, completely oblivious to the players' chatter, continued, "Of course, if you're capable, you can help the town hunt some wild beasts, or hunt some elemental creatures near the entrance of the weather tide. I'll reward you accordingly based on the type of prey. As for weapons... you'll need to buy them yourself. There's a weapons shop west of town."

Soon, with Brunson's explanation, the players quickly understood their current situation. In the early stages, they needed to earn enough money in the game and accumulate enough reputation to gain a foothold in the game world.

In this Novice Village, you can switch to two life-related secondary professions: Alchemist and Engineer. If you want to switch to the main profession, you have to find another way yourself.

Everything else was nothing. What made them particularly happy was that this was the Kingdom of Bryston, and not far from Docklands. It was just a matter of a map and a steam train ticket.

Afterwards, all the players present received the same novice task:

"E-Rank Mission [Survival]: Please find a job in town to survive, raise Xilin Town's reputation to unfamiliar, and actively try to integrate into this world."

After receiving the novice mission, the players present immediately had a goal and enthusiastically went to various parts of the town to look for work and improve the favorability of Xilin Town.

Brunson stood there in shock. He had thought he would have to spend some time talking.

Unexpectedly, these chosen ones were more obedient than he had imagined, and they started looking for jobs immediately.

Although they look no different from the indigenous people, their behavior is quite strange. Not only do they jump and skip when they walk, but they are like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right along the way, wanting to touch everything.

"A bunch of guys who have never seen the world..."

Brunson secretly despised in his heart.

……

The same thing as in Xilin Town is happening in various places on the mainland.

The Kingdom of Sifalik...

Byron Republic...

The Kingdom of Luins...

The Kingdom of Cecilia...

Every country has found that there are a large number of refugees in its country. Unlike the small-scale appearance last month, this time these refugees are everywhere like cockroaches. Many of them are crazy. Some talk without thinking, some lie on the ground and eat dirt, and some even run naked in the street, seriously disrupting public order.

After a long and agonizing wait, XB logged into the game as soon as the server was opened.

Because he was a beta tester, his login location was naturally the same as where he last logged off - which was his in-game residence, a dark and cramped little room.
