Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

According to Grantham's guess, Wayne Stewell would not be so conscientious as to let so many players into the City of Omniscience for free.

The higher the level of the place, the higher the threshold for entry. There must be a limit on the number of people who can enter, and with Wayne Stewell's greedy character, there must be a price to pay. This is what he knows about Wayne Stewell.

Grantham thought he had seen through Wayne Sternwell's scheme to defraud money. Then he sighed again:

"So what if you saw through me? Even I can't help myself this time!"

There are many players who have similar ideas to Grantham and want to spend all the money at once. The underwater sinking stars have been clenched, and Victor and supplies have been prepared in advance, just waiting for the order from Boss Wayne.

Sure enough, the next second, the game panel of Underwater Star popped up a prompt to trigger the task:

[You have triggered the Starry Sky Church faction-limited event: Road to Angels.]

【持续时间：1453年12月30日-1454年1月5日】

Event Description: The end of the world is approaching. The ensuing battle may be a power clash between gods, a battle between supreme beings. In this high-level war, ordinary transcendents cannot intervene. Only accomplished angels can influence and dominate. Wayne Stewell is willing to help you grow, and we need your assistance. Before the final battle, you must grow up as quickly as possible.

Event Tips: During the duration, Wayne Stewell will open all his skills to players. Learning skills will cost 85% of the original experience. The prices for purchasing supplies, materials, and equipment will be 90% of the original price. Experience and the amount of Victar consumed will be converted into Contribution Points at a fixed ratio.

[Donating to the Starry Sky Church can also earn contribution points. Players ranked in the top 200 in daily contribution points will have the opportunity to enter the City of Omniscience.]

【无论捐物资还是金钱，第一次捐赠都将得到10个徽章和一次开启许愿池的机会。第二次捐赠时普通材料奖励1-3（材料不同奖励有差异）个徽章和1次开启许愿池的机会。高级材料每次奖励3-7徽章和2次开启许愿池的机会。稀有材料奖励10-15个徽章和4次开启许愿池的机会，维克塔则视数目大小给予奖励。】

The Wishing Well will have a new prize pool during the faction event, including thirteen miracle items, two Wayne Stewell Advent Cards, and 250 entries into the City of Omniscience. The probability of drawing top rewards has increased by 10%.

[Badges can be exchanged for Contribution Points to the Starry Sky Church by handing them in to NPCs in your faction. Collecting 200 badges will earn you the position of Stargazer Captain, and collecting 600 badges will earn you the position of Stargazer Deacon, which grants you a stronger Luck bonus (limited time available).]

The top ten players in terms of contribution to the final event will receive a hidden quest reward. Also, players who achieve Angel status during the event will directly become deacons of the Starry Sky Church and have the opportunity to wield a Miraculous Item. (Limited time available)

Everyone was stunned.

15% off?

15% off all skill learning?! 10% off supplies and equipment?

Holy shit, is this charity?

What the hell is this charity? Grantham couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"This is essentially a kryptonite scam, but it's a blatant scheme that ordinary players can't refuse. Compared to the original three to five heroes who opened the gate, this event has two hundred spots available each day. It ostensibly gives ordinary players a chance, but in reality it increases the competition, even players who weren't planning to spend money before are starting to spend. And since you can't just visit the City of Omniscience once, all players will face fierce competition every day."

"And what's even more cunning is that Wayne Stewell has retained the mechanism of the gate-opening hero. Aren't the top ten players actually gate-opening heroes in disguise?"

As Grantham was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the price. Previously, he had his eyes on a powerful skill that cost 420 million experience points. It was discounted by 85% during the event, but now it still cost 450 million.

Was this a 15% discount? That was too much of a bully, wasn't it? Only then did Grantham realize that Wayne Stewell's favorability had dropped another 20 points.

This guy is really unlucky for me! Grantham couldn't help but feel dizzy.

In contrast to Grantham's frustration, others were so excited as to look at the dazzling array of sales lists and preferential prices that they could not express in words.

This is the power of knowledge authority. Almost every time he sees it, many powerful general skills will appear. Not long after, the experience points and the number of Viktors accumulated on Zhou Ning's panel skyrocketed, and the message prompts were madly refreshing the screen.

A large number of players have accumulated a lot of money and experience in the past few months, and they will go on a spending spree when they finally come across this discount opportunity.

In addition, this time, the money and experience points spent were counted towards the event points, which gave many ordinary players an opportunity. Everyone wanted to enter the City of Omniscience. They had to spend money sooner or later anyway, so what if they made it into the top 50?

"This event is so generous!" Shuidi Chenxing was completely shocked. "There are discounts everywhere. 85% off learning skills, 9% off shopping. These are essential needs, and they can be converted into contribution points, which is equivalent to another % discount. And achieving Angel status will directly give you a miracle item. How the hell is this any different from charity?"

"Brother Wayne has sacrificed so much to save the world, but he still has to endure misunderstandings and attacks from idiots like Grantham. It's really unfair."

Wow, there are really more and more good things. This time, Boss Wayne really put the Sword of Oath and Victory, the Invincible Purple Grass, and Gjallarhorn on the shelves, as well as Tessaiga, the name of which sounds very violent.

Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come back again!

Without hesitation, Shuidi Chenxing opened Wayne Stewell's personal store and started spending like crazy. Soon his name appeared at the top of the list.

Even though Alex had failed while using the Sword of Covenant and Victory before, Shuidi Chenxing felt that he would not be so embarrassed. After taking a look at the sky-high price of 46 Victoires after the discount, Shuidi Chenxing reluctantly bought it.

He then bought several otherworldly items, such as a ring that could steal other people's skills and a pendant that could protect him from being attacked. He then learned all the skills he could.

After finishing his shopping, Shuidi Chenxing glanced at his balance and was stunned. Where were the gold coins he had painstakingly bought from the trading platform? Where were the experience points he had saved from the two versions? Had he accidentally spent them all? Were the things that Wayne sold really that expensive?

"Holy crap, which boss instantly destroyed the Sword of Oath and Victory?"

"It must be Mr. Chen! Who else could it be?"

After hearing other people's discussions, Shuidi Chenxing felt much better. He raised his head and directly equipped the Sword of Oath and Victory. He had also bought a Captain America shield before. Now he could wield both a sword and a shield, and he felt that he looked very handsome.

In this frenzy, the players here had an unprecedented desire to consume. They went on a crazy shopping spree, buying basically all new equipment and learning a lot of new skills. Although their wallets and experience pools were almost empty, everyone's face, except Grantham, was filled with joyful smiles.

After all, logically speaking, this saves more than half.

Zhou Ning curled his lips. The rise of the Wayne Group required the cooperation of such a big villain. He originally just hung it up for people to see, but he didn't expect that it could be sold.

But this didn't affect me at all. After gaining the power of time, almost all large items could be retrieved from the timeline. The effect was exactly the same, so selling them didn't matter.

Looking at the skyrocketing experience and Vikta balance, Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that his appropriate concessions this time would have such a good effect.

It seems that sometimes a win-win situation is the best solution.
