Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The only regret is that neither Ebony nor White Ivory are revolvers, so the Wandering Gunner's level 10 talent, Revolver Mastery, which increases the shooting speed and piercing power of revolver series weapons by 10% has been temporarily lost.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel lucky that he had chosen the Gorgeous Dance Steps talent for level 20!

After studying the weapons, Zhou Ning clicked on the thing he was most looking forward to this time in the inventory - the Gnomeregan dungeon summoning stone and chose to use it. In an instant, the summoning stone disappeared from the inventory, and a new function appeared under his NPC template: Generate a dungeon.

Zhou Ning fumbled around for a while and gradually figured out how to use this function - after traveling to a simulated game world, he would have the opportunity to obtain a dungeon collection stone after participating in the dungeon plot, and gain the authority to generate the dungeon in the NPC template.

He immediately clicked in, and the page turned, and a new interface popped up. Currently, there was only a lonely copy: a city that looked a bit dilapidated.

He reached out again and clicked to select. His palm sank slightly, and a small black stone tablet appeared.

[LV10-LV20 Dungeon Collection Stone - [Gnomeregan]]

[Introduction: The legendary dwarf capital, the City of Miracles, Gnomeregan, has been invaded by troggs. The dwarf leader, the Great Gnome Tinker, has been betrayed by his advisor, Xikko Thermaplugg. Can you help them reclaim their homeland?]

[Type: 5-player retrospective instance]

[Current number of players who have completed the game: 0]

[Highest copy completion rate: 0%]

[First team: None]

The level of the dungeon is lower than I imagined. In World of Warcraft, Gnomeregan should be a dungeon above level 25. It seems that the world level of Apocalypse is slightly higher than that of World of Warcraft.

But it's a good thing this way. The mainstream level of players now is about level 7. In a few days, there will be players above level 10. This thing can be fully utilized to make yourself more attractive to players.

After processing the reward, Zhou Ning stood on the balcony and admired the night view for a while, then turned to think about the next arrangements:

"We definitely have to go to Xilin Town tomorrow. If we delay any longer, many people might not be able to wait and switch to other professions, thus losing a lot of leeks."

"Now that I have this house, it's time to build my own comprehensive laboratory. With a comprehensive laboratory, I should be able to try to upgrade the Phoenix suit. Making ordinary firearms shouldn't be a problem."

"But setting up the laboratory, purchasing experimental equipment, mechanical machine tools, and the like will cost a fortune. Besides that, we'll have to buy a carriage, hire a maid, and a coachman..."

"I originally thought that since I was rich, why should I treat myself badly? But now I think about it, I am still a poor person at heart..."

Thinking of the First Emperor template worth 250000 Vectra, Zhou Ning could only sigh.

…………

The next day, Zhou Ning slept until he woke up naturally in the new environment, slowly got dressed and washed, and then went downstairs.

The maid hired by the Urban Fair Housing Association would not come until tomorrow. While eating the breakfast he prepared himself, Zhou Ning began to read the newspaper delivered to the mailbox - this was a project provided by the Urban Fair Housing Association. They also cooperated with the Docklands Post, and a year's free newspaper was given away when buying a house.

After reading for a few minutes, Zhou Ning looked carefully and found a piece of news on the second page:

"Suspected gang fight!"

"Last night, a small-scale brawl involving extraordinary individuals occurred in the east of Duckland City. Fortunately, no one was injured."

"What do you mean? Did the Daykeeper and Harrison Rivers get into a fight?"

Looking at the task, the progress has increased from 16% to 43%, but there is still no prompt for the next task. Zhou Ning is going to go back and ask Sherlock.

After breakfast, Zhou Ning spent the entire morning busy. He first remotely dispatched daily tasks to XB and Jinse, then visited the trade zone. He spent 1200 Vectra at various engineering and alchemy shops, purchasing various materials, research tools, and equipment to prepare for building his own comprehensive laboratory. Zhou Ning also purchased other, less common equipment at several major stores.

In order to make a new devil fruit, other herbs besides the starburst preparation are also relatively rare.

For this, Zhou Ning spent nearly 900 Victa, which was simply money flowing like water.

After asking them to deliver all the things to 117 Gibbon Street, Zhou Ning did not stop, but took a hired carriage straight to the steam train station northeast of Docklands.

Although the straight-line distance from Daklan to Xilin Town on the outskirts of the city is less than six kilometers, there is a meteorological tide in the middle. It is the remains of an ancient battlefield from the War of the Gods. Because the elements change too drastically, not only is the weather extremely changeable, but there are also various elemental creatures and even extraordinary creatures lurking there, which is very dangerous.

So you have to go around a big circle southeast to get to Xilin Town, and the steam train ride takes about two hours. The price is not expensive, first-class seats are 25 rosin, second-class seats are only 10 rosin, but you can buy standing tickets.

For players, this amount of money is not expensive, but buying tickets requires a residence permit or identity card, which most players don't have. You need to complete a lot of novice tasks to get a residence permit in the novice village.

This is also a restriction that Apocalypse places on players.

Zhou Ning didn't mind the small amount of money, so he bought a first-class ticket and boarded the train to Xilin Town. He had ridden a steam train in a game before, but he didn't feel anything at the time. But now, seeing such a huge steam monster, which was actually the product of his parallel world's research, felt very strange.

There were unexpectedly many people on the train. It was a train heading to the southwest port of Temple Harbor, stopping at Xilin Town. Most of the people on the train were well-dressed nobles or businessmen.

"...Senior Wayne?"

To Zhou Ning's surprise, he met an acquaintance just after entering the carriage - a beautiful person with straight white long legs wearing a black Braxton-style skirt. It was Rosie Lily, whom he had not seen for nearly half a month.

There were a few female students from the Alchemy Department with her. They were all carrying a large suitcase and were looking at this side from a distance.

"It's me, what are you doing?" Zhou Ning was slightly stunned. This was really a coincidence.

"A school activity," Rosie said, her eyes shifting slightly. "It's an expedition into weather and tides. Participating earns you two credits. Senior Wayne, are you here to participate in this expedition, too?"

Zhou Ning suddenly realized that Professor Weasley had mentioned this expedition a month ago, and he had even taken advantage of it by making many clever potions.

At this time, the panel prompted again:

[You have triggered the D-level mission [Participate in the expedition], do you accept?]

"reject."

Zhou Ning shook his head: "No, I have other things to do."

Although he was very interested in exploring meteorological tides, without a talented meteorologist, the chances of success were low, and it would be a waste of time. He wouldn't be able to share in the school's gains. Zhou Ning's current goal was to profit first; there was no need to join in the fun. He didn't want to be led by the nose by the mission.

"Oh!" Luo Xi nodded gloomily, then raised her head and said, "Want some red bean cakes?"

"Eat!" It was indeed a familiar feeling and a familiar taste. After chatting with Luo Xi for a while, Zhou Ning found his seat and sat down. Then he heard the chattering of girls behind him and Luo Xi's protest.

A moment later, with the sound of the whistle, the steam train slowly started moving.

Not long after, the steam train pulling 16 carriages slowly stopped. Zhou Ning adjusted his black silk hat and stepped onto the ground of the northern station in Xilin Town.
