Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

When Zhou Ning appeared, the players who had been waiting eagerly rushed forward impatiently.

The public beta has already started on the fourth day. Players have gradually accumulated some money and experience, and their enthusiasm for consumption has been aroused. Sales records are constantly refreshing on the panel.

[Your item [Roaming Gunner Job Change Book] has been sold, and you received 10 Vekta.]

[Your skill CAR Shooting has been learned. You gain 9500 experience points and 30 Roshen.]

[Your skill Mozambique Shooting has been learned, and you gain 12000 experience points and 40 Roshen.]

[Your item [Devil Fruit] has been sold, and you received 800 Vectra]

Oh? Zhou Ning was slightly surprised when he saw the last message.

He set the price of the Devil Fruit at 800 Vectas. How could anyone afford it in the early stages of the game when the average asset was no more than 15 Vectas? Did they have a mine at home?

Zhou Ning quickly noticed that a player with the ID "Underwater Sinking Star" had a devil fruit with blue spiral patterns in his hand.

It turned out to be him. Zhou Ning suddenly realized that this was not surprising.

He founded the largest professional club in China, Xingyue, a true rival to Wang Sicong on Earth. While his gaming skills weren't top-tier in his previous life, his reincarnation boasted top-tier skills. Leveraging his wealth, he even competed in the first and second Tianqi Professional Leagues, achieving respectable results.

At this time, Shuidi Chenxing has put on a black windbreaker of the same style as himself. It is obvious that he spent a lot of money to buy it. He also has an M1878 revolver of the same style as himself slung around his waist. He is obviously cosplaying himself, replicating himself from beginning to end. Except for the poor appearance, the degree of restoration is close to 100%!

Zhou Ning squinted his eyes and looked him up and down. He was a little fanboy and a local rich man. It seemed that he was also a high-quality customer.

On the other hand, players were also impressed by Shuidi Shenxing's generosity. This was the first time someone bought the legendary devil fruit!

Several anchors have quietly opened their live broadcast rooms and started live broadcasts.

Under the envious gazes of the surrounding players, Shuidi Chenxing picked up the devil fruit without hesitation and took a bite, and instantly his whole body froze.

All the players' eyes were focused on the underwater star.

Underwater Star: ...

Suddenly, I felt a lot of pressure. My vanity was satisfied, but I also felt a little uncomfortable because this thing tasted so bad, almost like shit. But the devil fruit instructions said I had to eat it all, otherwise it would have no effect.

So he closed his eyes, hardened his heart and swallowed the devil fruit in three or two mouthfuls, almost dumbfounded.

Then, in full view of everyone, Shenxing's ears quickly grew longer, his skin instantly turned black, his teeth became sharp, and his entire head instantly turned into a black jackal.

Looking at this astonishing scene, all the players present were stunned, with their mouths wide open, unable to close for a long time.

"What the hell, what is this? Wolf Warrior?"

"Oh my god, this is too cool!"

Shen Xing, who had turned into a jackal man, was a little confused at first. After he reacted, he tried to bounce and instantly jumped more than two meters high. He then tried his strength and speed and found that they had improved significantly.

Changing back into human form, Shuidi Chenxing's face was still full of excitement: "My strength has increased by 30%, my agility has increased by 35%, and my health has increased by about 40%. It's really strong!"

"This is the Jackal form of the Dog-Dog Fruit. It's a very powerful ability. You can switch between werewolf and human form at will. In werewolf form, your physical fitness will be greatly improved. Developed to its full potential, it's on par with any superpower. Congratulations." Zhou Ning smiled at Shuidi Chenxing and said, "I'm most attracted to adventurers with potential. You're always welcome to visit me whenever I'm free."

"Wayne Stewell's favorability towards you increases by 5 points."

"You triggered the E-level mission [Wayne Stewell's invitation], accept/reject?"

"Raise your total level to level 20, then come back to find Wayne Stewell. He will seriously evaluate your possibility of joining the Star Guild."

"Thank you...thank you." After Shuidi Chenxing understood the content of the task, he felt his heart pounding and hurriedly accepted the task.

"Damn, did this trigger some hidden plot?"

“Did we not spend enough money?”

Perhaps stimulated by the underwater sinking star, although there are no such rich people among the remaining players, their consumption has become more and more wild.

Next, Zhou Ning only saw the experience points on the panel increasing wildly. There were more than 1000 people present. Not long after, the accumulated experience points exceeded 90, which was more than the experience points he had accumulated in more than a month of hard work doing alchemy. The efficiency was simply terrifying.

The most important thing is that Zhou Ning did not suffer any loss from imparting skills. It was a completely cost-free business. Only a unique existence like himself who had a panel and NPC functions could achieve this effect.

Of the 3500 guns that had just been exchanged, nearly 1000 were sold in an instant, all the primary healing potions were used up, and even more than ten of the guns that Zhou Ning had won in the lottery were sold. Zhou Ning felt that he had underestimated the players' spending power.

Finally, when Zhou Ning left, his accumulated experience had exceeded an unprecedented 127 million, and his savings had exceeded 1, reaching a new high of 11369 Victoria. Although it was only John's start-up money, it was a historic step for the poor Zhou Ning.

Next, Zhou Ning has to plan carefully how to use this money.

He had a lot of secrets, so it was no problem to live in school for a short period of time, but considering the long term, he still had to rent or even buy a house outside, which was completely affordable with his current money.

You still have to cut the leeks! You can buy a car and a house in three days!

Zhou Ning thought about it, stopped a carriage, and went to the Metropolitan Fair Housing Association in Seton River District.

In the history of the previous life, the first urban fair housing association was established in the UK in 1845. It was moved here without even changing the name. I guess it was the work of the simulator itself. It's simply a beast.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Ning walked into the association and was warmly received by a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Welcome to the Docklands Metropolitan Fair Housing Association. What kind of housing do you need, sir?"

"A small townhouse, preferably close to the trade zone and Seton River area, with a garden and stables." Zhou Ning put forward his requirements.

The middle-aged man took out a map with the locations of houses marked on it and introduced to him the advantages and prices of houses in different locations.

According to his introduction, Zhou Ning found that the price of the house was much cheaper than he remembered. Compared with the later period when the major guilds had more liquid funds and the consortiums moved in, the major countries all had a very expensive land. The housing prices at this time can only be described as dirt cheap. A three-story building that looked pretty good would only cost about 3000-4000 Vic Towers, which was almost the same as finding it for free.

Zhou Ning has so much money on hand, half of it is enough for his daily expenses, and the rest of the money can be used to buy a house, which can not only maintain its value but also appreciate in value. Why not do it?

Virtual real estate has the same value as real real estate.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ning finally found a house he liked.

"No. 117 Gibbon Street, Seton River District, a three-story building with a garden and stables. The weekly rent is 35 roshens. The purchase price is 3600 victos."

Zhou Ning said that it was actually not bad. The Seton River District was close to the center of Docklands City and very close to Wheatsheaf Church Square and St. Raymond's Cathedral where the Watchers' headquarters was located. There was no need to worry about security issues. It was adjacent to the trade area and had a large flow of people. It was very convenient to buy and sell anything. If you had a horse-drawn carriage, it would only take about 20 minutes to go to and from the University of Wick.

After confirming his intention, the middle-aged man nodded and rang the bell at his side. A moment later, a thin young man hurried over and said, "Casper will take you to 117 Gibbon Street. You can make a decision after viewing the house."

Not long after, Zhou Ning walked out of 117 Gibbon Street and nodded to the skinny young man, Caspar: "I'm quite satisfied with this house."

"I choose to buy it in full. Are there any other procedures required?"

Frankly speaking, Zhou Ning was very satisfied with the house. Not only did it have a large garden, but the furniture in the house was also quite exquisite. There was a spacious single-row house on the right that had been converted into a comprehensive laboratory, where both alchemy and mechanical research could be carried out. There was even an independent stable on the side and rear.

Hearing Zhou Ning's words, Casper smiled. "Let's go back to the Housing Association first. We have a dedicated solicitor. Do you still need to hire a servant? We also cooperate with the Domestic Servants Guild."

"I also need to hire a maid and a coachman." Zhou Ning said without thinking.

After four hours of hard work, Zhou Ning finally completed all the formalities. After paying the money, he received a brass key, which meant that he was now the owner of the house and could move in at any time.
