Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

It seemed that there was no rain outside, but as soon as they set foot on the road, it started to rain heavily. Fortunately, with Edwin's reminder, Zhou Ning opened the umbrella early and followed Edwin on the road.

After a few minutes, the view ahead suddenly opened up, and an ancient building emerged.

On top of the stone building, there is a single-eyed symbol that symbolizes knowledge and culture. Zhou Ning, who has a good foundation in mysticism, recognized it at a glance. This is the emblem of Middles, the god of knowledge.

"come in!"

On both sides of the building, there is a gargoyle crouching. These are extraordinary puppets made using alchemy and are extremely powerful.

Edwin walked forward and knocked on the door of the building. After the "dong dong dong" sound was repeated three times, a middle-aged man with a white beard and a cold and gloomy look opened the door. After seeing Edwin, he silently made way.

As expected of the vice-president, he is a very powerful figure... Zhou Ning followed Edwin into the building. Inside was a hall similar to a library. Several unfamiliar-looking professors were sitting in their seats studying books.

"The ground floor here belongs to the public library. If you choose to stay on campus or spend 120 credits, you can enter here to read for free. With your ability, it should not be difficult to qualify to stay on campus. Are you interested?" Edwin asked.

"Not yet." Zhou Ning answered honestly.

"What a shame." Edwin shook his head. He led Zhou Ning to the second floor of the library and pointed to a row of bookshelves in the middle. "This is where rare recipes are stored. You can choose any three recipes you wish, including but not limited to expert-level ones."

Zhou Ning nodded to express his understanding, and walked to the front of the bookshelf.

"Alchemy, engineering, enchanting, and even tailoring blueprints..."

Zhou Ning took a quick look and found that most of the blueprints were still at the "relatively rare" level. Many of them were things he had already learned, but they were just relatively rare outside.

For example, the recipes for the "Lucky Potion" and the "Flying Potion".

When he walked around to the other side of the bookshelf, his eyes lit up and he saw something he wanted.

"Gargoyle Alchemy, Veritaserum, Mongoose Potion, Treasure Hunting Potion..."

Zhou Ning looked at the names on the spines of the books and wanted to say, "I want them all."

After careful selection, he finally chose three of the recipes.

They are "Mongoose Potion", "Treasure Hunt Potion" and a recipe called "Petrification Potion".

The Treasure Hunting Potion and the Luck Potion have similar effects, mysteriously increasing a person's luck. The Petrification Potion, on the other hand, temporarily turns a person into stone for 30 seconds, restoring a significant amount of health and stamina during this time. It's quite practical.

As for the Mongoose Potion, it is a super rare potion that can increase attributes, and it increases the agility attribute that Zhou Ning is extremely lacking, which is truly top-notch.

Zhou Ning handed the formula he had chosen to Edwin for review. Edwin took a look and nodded, indicating that it was okay. However, he looked at Zhou Ning seriously and said, "You must remember not to disclose the formula to anyone. This is my advice to you."

Zhou Ning shuddered and felt the arrival of the power of the contract.

He thought about it and nodded seriously.

"Very good. I believe in your promise. You now have 15 minutes to copy the formula," Edwin said with a smile. He had a good impression of Zhou Ning, but it was a pity that he seemed to have no interest in either academics or a career in government. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind helping him out.

……

After copying down the three formulas and leaving the internal library, Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment and did not choose to return to the dormitory. Instead, he walked straight out of the school gate and headed towards his alchemy shop.

It's still working hours now, and both tools should be here.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw Zhou Ning, Jinse and XB immediately looked happy and trotted over.

"Boss!" You can tell that their tone is full of excitement and sadness.

Zhou Ning curled the corners of his mouth, indicating that he could understand their feelings, but XB, could you not give it to him like that?

As usual, I edited an errand task for them that required a lot of experience to appease the frustration of these two tools.

Looking at the significant increase in experience, Jinse and XB felt complicated and excited. The rewards from their hard work in completing the mission were not as good as just following Zhou Ning.

After accumulating experience over the past few days, Jinse has now reached level 14, ranking first on the level list, and XB has also reached level 12, also ranking among the top on the level list.

After the personal store was opened to them, they bought the legendary Star Guild invitation without hesitation and exchanged it for a dungeon summoning stone right away. After seeing the boasting in the forum, they had been coveting the Gnomeregan dungeon for a long time.

At this time, many players saw Zhou Ning and came over with their friends. Zhou Ning had no choice but to stay here temporarily and act as a sales tool.

After a few days of inactivity, the players in Darkland had an unprecedented desire to buy. Although the cheap guns had already been sold out in Xilin Town and had not been replenished in time, even the revolvers worth 15 Viktors won in the system lottery were sold in large quantities.

What surprised Zhou Ning the most was that another person spent 1000 Viktoria to buy a devil fruit. He was a meteorologist named Wind Chaser and Thunder Fury. Like Jinse, he was a professional player from the Deep Blue Club. He was expected to be one of the best meteorologists in the country in the future, as his name indicated.

However, the ability of the fruit he ate did not seem to be suitable for him. He suddenly turned into a Dalmatian, causing a commotion among the players.

"This is the Animal-type - Dog-Dog Fruit - Common - Dalmatian form. It once belonged to a powerful individual. It has a strong body, agile speed, claws and teeth that can tear everything apart. It's quite formidable."

Zhou Ning said with a smile. He wasn't lying. He had the impression that this was the fruit of Vice Admiral Dalmesia of the Marine Headquarters, and that it had once severely injured the protagonist Luffy.

Wind Chaser Thunderfury was quite satisfied. He had received inside information that the game company would most likely hold a professional league in the near future. In the early stages of the game, this devil fruit could at least increase his strength by 1/4, which was already quite good.

In addition to the unexpected sale of the Devil Fruit, the Star Guild invitations Zhou Ning brought with him were also sold out. Currently, the Star Guild has a total of 28 members, with 32 more to go before it is temporarily full. The spending is quite wild.

He stayed here until almost 4 o'clock, and his experience accumulated to 140 million. Zhou Ning stood up and said goodbye, promising to come again tomorrow.

The herbs used to make the Treasure Hunt Potion and the Petrification Potion are not too expensive. The most expensive ingredient is a herb called heather, but the total price will not exceed 3 Victar per bottle, which is quite cheap and practical among expert-level potions.

However, the Mongoose Potion Zhou Ning urgently needed was quite expensive, and according to the description, the chance of failure in refining it was extremely high. Therefore, he had to buy several more ingredients.

He chose to take a public carriage to the trade zone, and as usual, bought a large number of necessary materials from the West family's herbal medicine shop and engineering shop. After having them delivered to 117 Gibbon Street, he went to the location of the Undead's core mission - an alchemy shop on the west side of the trade zone.
