Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

In order to keep this business going for a longer period of time, it is crucial to set a price that will not hurt the other party, so that the business can go on for a long time.

"It's a pleasure working with you." After the deal was done, the other party paid promptly. He took the gun and played with it for a while, trying to twirl it around his fingers like Zhou Ning did, but failed miserably. He coughed awkwardly and handed the four Victars to Zhou Ning. "By the way, it's best not to go out at night unless necessary. There's been a lot of trouble these days. The legislators are even considering implementing a curfew."

"Okay, thank you." Zhou Ning took the banknotes and found they were two 5-victim and two 10-victim notes. The 10-victim note was the first time Zhou Ning had seen one in real life! It was primarily green, with a portrait of Charles I, the first King of Braxton, printed on it. The designer had even carefully designed a watermark on his beard to prevent counterfeiting, giving off a pleasant scent of ink.

Emei thief! This one is my two months' allowance!

Perhaps due to the influence of the memory fragments of his previous life, at this moment, Zhou Ning felt that he had fallen in love with the banknotes in his hand at first sight.

Zhou Ning managed his expression, resisting the embarrassing urge to kiss the banknotes. He folded the money and put it in his arms, then asked nonchalantly, "This law probably won't pass, right?"

"Obviously, this law has affected too many people. Without nightlife, many people won't have sex, and even tax revenue will be reduced by one-third," Sherlock said sarcastically. "My guess is that this brainless congressman will be out of office soon."

What he said made a lot of sense, because until Zhou Ning traveled through time, he had never heard of any curfew law in Braxton in the game. He silently gave a thumbs up to that unknown congressman in his heart.

The two chatted for a while, and then Sherlock politely raised his deerstalker hat and said goodbye.

When he was a few steps away, Zhou Ning, who was about to leave, turned around and hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Agent Sherlock, have you heard of the Life Alchemy Society?"

"Life Alchemy Society?"

When Sherlock heard Zhou Ning's words, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"The Life Alchemy Society, a group of lunatics who believe life can be created through alchemy, originated in the eastern Kingdom of Luins. They are keen on creating various alchemical life forms through experiments. Why, do you think this case is related to them?"

"It's just a guess. I heard that within the Life Alchemy Society, there's a school of thought that's not only obsessed with using alchemy to create life, but also obsessed with using alchemy to create themselves. At first, they tried using machines and animal organs to transform themselves, but later realized that this didn't work. The human body is more suitable for the human body..."

At this moment, a prompt popped up on the panel: You have triggered the B-level task: Alchemy Ghost, do you want to accept it? Yes/No?

"Of course, this is just a rumor I heard by chance. Just treat it as a story." At the end, Zhou Ning accepted the task calmly and added a sentence.

"No, you are telling the truth, that's it!" Sherlock's expression was both surprised and excited.

The case, which was originally thought to be very difficult, soon showed signs of being solved after Zhou Ning's suggestion. He hurriedly trotted towards the carriage parked outside the woods.

The panel quickly gave a prompt: [B-level mission Alchemy Ghost has been completed 25%.]

On the other side, a group of police officers were still busy there, and more police officers arrived at the scene.

Murders are actually quite common in the Kingdom of Braxton, but it is definitely not common for them to happen in a place like Vic University.

As the top institution of higher learning in the Kingdom of Blyston, all those who can study here are either useful talents for the Kingdom of Blyston in the future or children of high-ranking officials and nobles.

If this case spreads out, it will probably cause quite a stir throughout the kingdom.

As a result, both the Docklands Police Department and the school are under tremendous pressure.

After a while, the vice-president in charge of school affairs walked up to the students and announced that all students, including faculty and staff, were not allowed to enter or leave the school for a short period of time, pending investigation.

Although he understood that the intention of the vice principal was to assist in the investigation, Zhou Ning shook his head. This case was obviously committed by an extraordinary person. This trick may be useful to ordinary people, but what about extraordinary people?

Not far away, several policemen began to question students passing by. Perhaps because Zhou Ning had informed them in advance, he was not stopped. He put on his hat again, walked to the end of the path, turned a corner, and stopped in front of the Pig and Whistle breakfast shop.

This is a breakfast shop with the same name as the Old Town Inn in World of Warcraft. The manager, Mrs. Tulin, is in her seventies and takes care of her paralyzed husband who is ten years older than her. When the weather is good, she can often be seen pushing her husband's wheelchair for a walk on campus.

"Mrs. Tulling, give me three pounds of cupcakes."

"Okay, Lil Wayne. By the way, what happened at the apartment?" Mrs. Tulin asked as she picked up a cupcake.

"Someone died in the woods. The deceased was Sharon, a sophomore in the Alchemy Department." Zhou Ning answered concisely.

"Oh my God! I remember her, a very nice girl, and I had a good relationship with her. What a pity, I heard her say the day before yesterday that she just got a great boyfriend." Mrs. Tulin put her hands together and made the gesture of Ascetic prayer, and said with a look of regret.

"Oh? She has a boyfriend?" Zhou Ning was a little surprised. He had heard that Sharon had a bad temper and didn't even have any friends, let alone a boyfriend.

"Yes, I'm sure. She told me her boyfriend was handsome, talented, and a gentleman. And he loved her madly," Mrs. Tulin recalled.

This boyfriend was a bit suspicious. Zhou Ning nodded, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, and he walked towards the Alchemy Building with the cupcake in his hand.

The Alchemy Building is located not far from the student apartments. It is an independent building with four floors. Professor Weasley's alchemy laboratory is on the second floor.

As Professor Weasley's teaching assistant, Zhou Ning's responsibilities not only include helping him with his studies, but also being on duty in the Alchemy Building and helping to prepare alchemical tools.

Since school is about to start in a few days, the Alchemy Building has become busy.

As soon as Zhou Ning entered the room, he saw Sherlock asking something at the front desk. Zhou Ning greeted him and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

When I opened the door of the laboratory, a pungent smell of alcohol hit my nose.

Zhou Ning opened the windows for ventilation. He was studying applied alchemy with Professor Weasley, studying how to apply alchemy to daily life. Of course, potion alchemy was also a required major.

Today he was going to prepare iodine, sage, tranquilizing flowers, money leaves, sunflowers, daisy roots...

"Ding! You completed an alchemical material check and gained 3 experience points."

"Ding! You completed an alchemical material check and gained 2 experience points."

There are many ways to gain experience in the game "Apocalypse". In addition to killing monsters and completing tasks, life skills can also provide a lot of experience, so life players are not unable to play.

Zhou Ning skillfully prepared dozens of materials that Professor Weasley would use in the afternoon and gained nearly 200 experience points.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the next four hours or so were completely at my disposal.

Currently, there are only a few basic materials available for practice, and the quantity is limited.

Zhou Ning opened the alchemy skills. Currently, he was proficient in very few of them, only two types: primary mana potion and primary life potion.

The former requires tranquilizing flowers, poisonous nightshade ginseng and iodine tincture, while the latter requires the more common ginkgo leaves and daisy roots, which are more abundant in the laboratory.

If you just want to upgrade and increase your proficiency, it is obviously more cost-effective to make primary life potions.
