Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

At this time, Xilin Town was already full of students and teachers wearing Vic University uniforms. Zhou Ning also saw Leandro de Pesa and Chris Bledenrezer among them.

The reason they saw them in the first place was very simple. There were many players surrounding them, who were trying to get close to them with excitement. At this time, both of them had helpless expressions on their faces, feeling like they had met a group of lunatics.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Honestly, it was quite dangerous. This time, Wake University's exploration of the weather and tides was likely part of the plot, providing job-change quests for players in Xilin Town.

Because there are many teachers from the warrior, magic, and meteorological departments here, if you are lucky enough, you will have the opportunity to receive tasks from them.

If you were a day late, or even half a day late, you would probably miss out on a lot of opportunities.

Zhou Ning greeted Leonardo, and as expected, he saw that the players were startled at first, and then they all rushed over and surrounded him in an instant.

Leandro: ...

This scene seems familiar.

Some time ago, players from Darkland could be seen on the forums showing off their impressive post-job changes, including the cheap guns and powerful skills they had purchased. Players from nearby Westlin Town were already envious, but when they saw Wayne Stewell suddenly appear without warning, they were immediately thrilled.

"Oh my God! Wayne Stewell is here!"

"Oh my god, spring is coming to Xilin Town!"

Zhou Ning glanced at the group of people and didn't find any familiar IDs from his previous life, so he issued a D-level task of "improving strength" as usual and opened his personal store to them.

Compared with the time in Darkland, Zhou Ning raised the price of the devil fruit from 800 Vectra to 1000 Vectra, and the prices of other items were also raised. After Shuidi Shenxing's lavish spending, he felt that the consumption power of krypton gold players should not be underestimated.

Besides, the public beta has been started for 5,6 or days, and players should have money.

"Have you noticed that the protagonist's store has increased its prices?"

"There's no other way. I have to buy it..."

"Fuck, you guys are so quick!"

Soon, Zhou Ning's store's inventory was rapidly decreasing. In less than half an hour, nearly 500 players had purchased job transfer books, easily acquiring 5000 Vekta. The number was still rising.

And this is just the beginning.

Zhou Ning could see a steady stream of players pouring in from afar. He didn't have to do anything; the quests and the shop were just there, so he could just pose and stare blankly. He even had time to browse the forums.

……

At this time, many players from Xilin Town had posted screenshots of group photos on the forum, showing off Wayne Stewell's arrival, which unsurprisingly caused another wave of envy and jealousy.

"Xilin Town...if I remember correctly, it should be near Dakelan City. I really envy you European dogs."

"By the way, will he come to Jinhan? Our Novice Village is not far from Xilin Town."

"It's strange that only the Wandering Gunners have a protagonist and mentor like Wayne Stewell? Isn't that too unfair?"

"It seems that there really isn't one. At least the inauguration of a knight is very abnormal. It requires completing twelve rings of tasks, and there are also reputation requirements with the Earth Temple. It's extremely difficult."

The forum was full of these boastful posts and sour replies, and Zhou Ning felt bored after reading a few of them. Suddenly, a message popped up in front of him:

"Important reminder: The first episode of the Apocalypse variety show, 'Apocalypse Forecast,' has been released simultaneously on the forum and various platforms. This column compiles various information from the past week of the public beta. Interested players are welcome to check it out."

"Oh? Even the 'Apocalypse Forecast' has been released?" Zhou Ning was slightly stunned.

In his previous life, "Apocalypse Forecast" was an official game variety show, a bit like Happy Camp. It was a gathering of professional gamers, playing games, competing against each other, and chatting awkwardly. Topics covered included weekly news from the Apocalypse, rankings, and updates on professional gamers. While it was awkward, it had to be said that most people, including Zhou Ning himself, enjoyed the awkwardness.

In my previous life, this column didn't appear until the start of the first professional league. I didn't expect that it would appear earlier than I did.

Zhou Ning clicked on the pinned post and chose to play. Sure enough, the video showed a chubby male host and several professional gamers as guests. This time, Zhou Ning even spotted Jinse. "Great, don't think I don't know. This should be working hours, right?" Zhou Ning decided to dock her salary.

"Hello everyone, this is 'Apocalypse Forecast', every Saturday at 8pm, we'll be there for you!"

The first issue of "Apocalypse Forecast" has a total content of about 2 hours. The first 20 minutes quickly review the current situation of players in the entire Apocalypse world.

There were about 100 million players in the first batch of public beta tests, and currently less than 10 players have successfully changed their jobs. The largest number of people who changed jobs were psychics, because psychics only needed to spend 20 Viktas to buy low-level superpower potions to change their jobs, but the problem was that the quality of the psychics was uneven, and the majority of them had bad psychics.

Next up is the Warrior. The Warrior class has a much lower barrier to entry than any other class. As long as you have a high enough affinity with the Force, you can transition to a new class by completing a few quests after joining a faction. It's also considered the weakest class by professional players, which is ridiculous... The quality of these professional players is just not good enough.

The third most populous profession is the roaming gunner, which mainly consists of less than 32 players in the city of Darkland. However, the host brought out a piece of data at this time. The roaming gunner is also the profession with the highest selection rate in the region. % of the players in Darkland chose this profession.

The professions with the smallest population are Knights and Shamans. Shamans are a unique profession of the Northlanders and Walruses. There are probably less than 600 players born in Walruses. Most of them have changed their professions to warriors. Only a few with a particularly high affinity for the natural force are qualified to change their professions to Shamans.

In terms of class strength, the most popular class among players is the Gunner, but the Knight also has great potential.

"Aside from being powerful, the most important thing about the Roaming Gunner is that he looks awesome. His fancy gun skills are YYDS!"

Here the host intercepted a few PK videos, all of which were clips of the roaming gunner showing off his skills. Of course, there was also the famous scene of xb being beaten by the warrior.

Then several professional players played a dart throwing game together and the topic continued.

Currently, Jinse and XB, two roaming gunslingers, are leading the rankings at levels 9 and 8 respectively. Third place goes to August, a mage from the American Gun Club and a renowned professional gamer. Shuidi Shenxing, who possesses a Devil Fruit, is fifth.

The screen also shows some of Jinse's battle scenes, as well as some battle scenes after Chenxing turned into a jackal man underwater.

Due to the previous five trailers, the most popular NPC is undoubtedly Zhou Ning, with Emlyn, the Spear of Punishment from the Byron Republic, in second place. And third is the busty Chrissy Brendanrezer, who also made a few appearances in player interactions.

As he was speaking, the host changed the subject and mentioned the recent incident of Braxton players sacrificing themselves on the forum.

Some posts from the forum appeared on the screen:

"Help, help, help! Why was I captured by the Cursed Cult?"

"It's the same with me. They first captured me and put me in for sacrifice. Then, not long after I was killed and resurrected, they captured me again. Now they're still torturing me about my origins."

"Holy crap! I'm locked in a small dark room, my willpower keeps dropping, and the game says I'm being converted. What should I do?"

"The one upstairs, I've been transformed into a tentacle monster, but the tentacles are not on my body, but on my face, like a little animal. I want to die..."

"Wow, the appearance of the ancient god, how did you transform? I want to transform into a tentacle monster too!"

Some players even recorded relevant videos as evidence. In the video, a group of Curse Cult members wearing black priest robes escorted several players into a building.
