Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Even Zhou Ning, a veteran of many battles, couldn't help but sigh.

The first stage is fine with the help of Jaina and Arthas, and it is of normal to difficult difficulty. The only difficulty lies in how to quickly eliminate Hogger and Herald Kirtonos and save Arthas. It should be no problem if you try a few more times.

But from the second stage on, it was pure hell. Ten waves of zombies attacked relentlessly, leaving him no time to rest. Add to that the incessant harassment and attacks from the Crazy Clown. It was truly shameless. It was a level 10 boss, yet its tactics were so cunning and insidious. He hadn't even fought the Clown directly, and his raid strategy was a failure. Zhou Ning suspected that even with Jaina and Arthas present, the Clown would have another plan to ambush him.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but light a candle for the players who were going to enter the dungeon in the future.

……

While I was a bit nauseous this time, the rewards were quite good. After killing monsters along the way and completing three optional quests, I earned nearly 3 experience points. Even with the vast experience pool of players, this was still a considerable amount. My experience bank jumped to 60 million. I was just one step away from the 260 million experience points needed to upgrade the Wandering Gunner to level 350.

There is still one day left tomorrow, and it shouldn't be difficult to gain enough experience. By then, my combat effectiveness should have a very obvious leap.

In addition, the two pieces of equipment and an engineering blueprint he obtained were also very good. Although their attributes were not very good, these two pieces of equipment could barely be considered extraordinary items. Zhou Ning looked at the leather armor wristband on his hand and set it to be hidden.

Huh, wait!

Zhou Ning blinked and noticed a red dot on the quest page. Clicking on it, he discovered that the "History Enthusiast" quest he had previously accepted had actually been completed in this instance.

This task requires the collection of five extraordinary items with a history of 5 years. Among them, the [Dark Will Wristband] that Zhou Ning just obtained is only a rare item, but it is actually an antique of some age.

Taking into account Frostmourne, which also has a long history, it unexpectedly helped Zhou Ning complete this task.

……

[History Buff]: As a history enthusiast, you are deeply interested in lost history. Try to collect five or more extraordinary items over 100 years old, whether in the real world or the simulated world. (5/5) Completed!

Click to receive the task reward, and a prompt will pop up on the panel:

[You have completed the hidden quest: (History Buff) (I). Randomly selecting the reward type...]

[Your reward this time is: [Expertise Reward]]

[Randomly selecting... Please select one of the following three specialties as a reward.]

Zhou Ning still remembered the last random reward. It seemed that the reward he received was based on the template of an ordinary office worker. He was so excited at the time, but felt so uncomfortable later.

This time, good things finally happened, and a random specialization reward appeared. And there was even an elite specialization!

Is today really my lucky day?

[Super Toughness (Elementary): You can greatly increase your survivability, physical strength +25, health +500.]

[Meticulous (Elite): You observe things in minute detail, able to analyze details that are often overlooked. Your Identify and Spot skills gain a significant bonus.]

[Running: You are a sprinter, and your running speed increases by an additional 30%.]

After carefully reviewing the options, Zhou Ning twitched his lips. He didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck. He'd randomly picked an elite specialty, but surprisingly, it was quite average. While Meticulousness was decent, at a high enough level, Investigation was more than enough. As for Identification... it was a reward for reaching the Advanced Level of Historian. He hadn't even learned it.

Then comes the choice between super toughness and a strong run.

Is this even a question? Zhou Ning made his choice without hesitation: super toughness.

[You gain the expertise [Super Toughness]!]

Zhou Ning looked at the panel. After choosing this specialty, the effect was immediate and the fault tolerance rate was greatly improved.

After completing History Lovers (I), there is a hidden follow-up. After Zhou Ning chose to take it, the mission entered the next stage again.

Hidden tasks: (can be triggered under special circumstances)

[History Buff]: As a history buff, you are very interested in the lost history. Try to collect 9 or more extraordinary items that are over 9 years old, whether in the real world or the simulated world. (100/5)

It's pretty good, not too difficult. Maybe it will be like this time, just paddling along and it will be done.

After completing the task, Zhou Ning turned his attention to the little Deathwing. After going through a dungeon, the level of this little black dragon increased from level 1 to level 2, its size also increased a little, and its lethality increased from 23-59 to 35-72, which was a significant improvement.

Looking at this abnormal growth rate, it is almost certain that this little black dragon will become extremely powerful when it grows up.

……

The next day, when Zhou Ning woke up from his sleep, it was almost 8 o'clock in the morning.

According to Edwin, the team will most likely set off tomorrow afternoon to enter the meteorological tide, so he still has almost a day to allocate himself.

"I've already left Darkland temporarily, but why do I feel like I'm getting busier and busier?" Zhou Ning laughed and shook his head. He opened the window of the tent and wanted to breathe some fresh air, but the heavy snow and the chill outside made him close the window silently again.

Zhou Ning quickly washed up with the clean water stored in the tent, then took off the black windbreaker and black silk hat that were hanging on the head of the bed last night, and walked out of his tent.

He planned to make the world amplifier first today, and then get back to his business - standing still and serving as a skill instructor for the players.

The snow outside continued to fall, but it was mixed with heavy rain, making the ground look muddy. A dozen shirtless students from the Warrior Department were busy clearing the ground with great energy. "It's so great to be young!" Zhou Ning, who wished he could wrap himself up like a dumpling, couldn't help but sigh.

In the heavy snow, Zhou Ning held an umbrella and walked along the edge of the street all the way to the shop in the northwest of the town.

Although this town was small, it served as a beginner village for players, so its infrastructure was naturally quite complete. As an intermediate-level blueprint, the materials required for the World Amplifier were not precious, requiring only a large amount of copper ingots, a small amount of silver ingots, and shadow stone.

In addition to purchasing world amplifier materials, Zhou Ning also bought some materials for making bullets. Because he could not return to Darkland for the time being, the flame bullets Zhou Ning had prepared were basically sold out, and he urgently needed to make another batch.

Shadow stone is a rare mineral associated with copper mines, worth around 4 roshen, and is sold in the town. After shopping around the town to buy all the materials, Zhou Ning rented an engineering laboratory in the town's engineering shop and couldn't wait to start making it.

It didn't take long to make the bullets, but it took some effort to make the world amplifier.

It failed once, but the second time, the panel finally gave a prompt.

[You created the rare item [World Amplifier], and you gained 8000 experience!]

[World Amplifier: Amplifies the entire world for 10 minutes, or until you attack an enemy. Cooldown time is one hour.]

[How to use: Shoot!]

The final product was something similar to a laser gun. Zhou Ning thought about it, pointed the gun at himself, and a beam of light hit his chest.

When Zhou Ning opened his eyes again, he found that the whole world had really magnified, and he felt like Gulliver who had come to the land of giants.

The laboratory table, which was less than 1 meter high, looked like a skyscraper, and I seemed to have suddenly become a dwarf the size of a thumb.

This is the role of the world magnifier. When you make yourself smaller, the world will naturally be magnified in your eyes.
