Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Of course, the price paid for being awesome is that all the experience points you've accumulated are completely wiped out, like a windblown eggshell, money gone and a peaceful life. There's a certain satisfaction in spending money lavishly.

Thanks to the players who are a huge source of experience.

According to the data on the forum, the proportion of players who changed their profession to roaming gunslinger in Daklan and Xilin Town exceeded 12%. After his own pyramid scheme and the deception of XB's previous career analysis post, the most popular profession in the previous life: warrior has become the sewer in the sewer, with a selection rate of only %, which is extremely bleak.

Speaking of which, I do feel a little guilty.

After his strength was improved, while continuing to accumulate experience and clear some hidden tasks, he also had to start doing some big things, especially dealing more with the Curse Cult. Although he didn't know where the main task had deviated to, Zhou Ning could also be sure that the main task of the first version was related to the Curse Cult, so he just had to chase them and fight them.

I have been a little free recently, so I can discuss with the Japanese Guardians whether I can get a place on the list.

This way, not only will I have a relatively stable source of intelligence, so I won't be in the dark like I am now, but I can also switch to a pretty awesome secondary profession. The Sun Guard secondary profession has a skill that can passively increase attack distance and gun damage, which is perfect for me.

In a basement that is extremely spacious, even like a temple, Earl "Wisdom" Robbins, wearing a black robe with a hood, kneels in the darkness and prays devoutly.

In front of him was a statue over three meters tall, in the shape of a ferocious god with two huge goat horns.

There are countless tentacles growing on his shoulders and sides of his body, and each tentacle is carved with an eye, some closed and some open, densely packed.

On the right side of the statue, there is another statue covered with black cloth, which is more than four meters tall and its appearance cannot be seen.

At this time, a cultist wearing a black robe and a hood entered and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Robbins, we have collected a large number of Chosen Ones as you requested and have conducted a series of tests with Mr. Bidlock."

"Well done." Robbins smiled and asked, "What's the result?"

"They do possess immortal bodies, just as you said. However, after slicing and studying them, their flesh and blood are no different from those of normal people. Some are even weaker than ordinary people."

"And every once in a while they would suddenly disappear from their cells without any warning, only to reappear. When interrogated about how they disappeared and where they went, they would speak nonsense."

"We also tested their obedience and found that even without brainwashing, as long as they were given a little benefit, they would complete the task without compromise. They seemed quite easy to control."

"Perhaps... they are natural cannon fodder. If we utilize them well, we can even use them to complete large-scale sacrifices or even carry out some difficult assassinations."

At this point, the cultist became somewhat puzzled and asked, "The Life Alchemy Society's goals are completely different from ours. With our current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to free the True God Naiastola directly. Why do we have to cooperate with their actions?"

"Who says they're completely different? They want lives, and we want chaos. This is Darkland, a place favored by the righteous gods! Only by leveraging all available forces, uniting all that can be united, causing utter chaos and drawing everyone's attention, can we truly welcome the Lord's return."

Having said that, Robbins said no more and continued to pray.

The black-robed cultist also prayed for a while. Ten minutes later, he left the basement and took off his hood. In the sunlight, his brown hair was combed back, he had ice-blue eyes, a slightly high hairline, and deep wrinkles on his cheeks. He was Harrison Rivers, the patriarch of the "Will" Rivers family.

……

Early the next morning, thanks to Jacqueline's arrangement, Zhou Ning had a hot and hearty breakfast for the first time since his time travel.

One fried egg, one matsutake mushroom, and one grilled mushroom that looked very delicious.

Compared to our previous financial constraints, this breakfast was worth about 6 roshen, which was equivalent to 120 yuan in cash...

It's completely corrupt.

Zhou Ning was eating breakfast while sneaking a peek at the forum. He was now paying close attention to the players' movements.

There are currently two hottest topics on the forum, one of which is the Gnomeregan dungeon which is closely related to himself.

After Zhou Ning went around Xilin Town and Daklan, the number of people who possessed the dungeon summoning stone had reached 28, and there were even more people participating in the dungeon strategy, about 8 to 90 people.

The Gnomeregan dungeon has become a trend among players in both locations. Experience is gained much faster than painstakingly completing quests outside. And occasionally, you can find excellent or even rare gear, which is a welcome upgrade. However, players are currently stuck on the second boss.

Another topic was the large number of players in Darkland City being captured by the Cursed Cult.

Although Zhou Ning was very concerned about this and knew the approximate area where the players were detained, the players were vague about the details and he couldn't post anything. There were indeed many similar buildings nearby, so he could only wait for Qingbai Yejiu and Haicheng to give him feedback.

Not long after, Zhou Ning, dressed neatly, boarded the carriage he had bought, carrying a box full of guns and two devil fruits, and headed to the Xilin Grocery Store in the old city.

It only takes about 117 minutes to walk from No. 30 Gibbon Street where he lives to Xilin Grocery Store. If Zhou Ning had not already rented a carriage and hired a driver, he might have preferred to walk there.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of Xilin Grocery Store and Zhou Ning knocked on the door.

This time it was Sherlock who opened the door. He hadn't seen Zhou Ning for a long time and looked much more haggard. After seeing Zhou Ning, he gave him a warm hug.

The smell of sweat!

Zhou Ning took a step away from him in disgust and handed the box to him.

"14 spears, 12 pistols, and 2 devil fruits, a total of 2198 Vectas."

After a quick inventory, Sherlock pushed a stack of cash to Zhou Ning and asked, "I heard something big happened in the weather tide. What exactly happened?"

"Yes, it's quite big." Zhou Ning curled his lips. At Edwin's request, he concealed Archibald's part and told Sherlock everything he could.

"What an eventful time! I didn't expect so many things to happen in the weather tide!" Sherlock sighed. "It's not all easy here either. I really want to have a good rest. The series of cases happening now are not only dangerous, but also require us to be on our toes at all times."

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Ning coughed dryly and said with a smile, "I've thought about what you asked me to consider before. I can join you. But I have one request."

"Oh?" Sherlock perked up. "Why are you so forthright all of a sudden? Tell me what you want."

"I just want to be listed among the day watchers. I can participate in any activities that require my help. I don't want to be as busy as you." Zhou Ning said.

Sherlock shook his head and laughed:

"No way, this is the life of us day-watchers."

"I don't have the authority to make the decision. I need to consult Lord Qi'en, but it should be fine."
