Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning thought about it, but resisted the temptation to escape danger. He opted to stay home and see what would happen. He felt a little uncertain, but according to the principle of equivalent exchange, a small loss should help overcome the bad luck.

In order to avoid affecting others, he asked Jacqueline to leave early with the maid and the groom.

Time passed minute by minute, until the countdown reached zero. Zhou Ning suddenly felt a chill running through his body, as if he was excluded by the rules of the world.

The fireplace, statues, tables, curtains... everything in the room seemed to be a potential fatal threat to him.

Suddenly, the room began to shake and the entire floor began to vibrate. With a "pop", a statue was falling towards Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning quickly dodged and watched it break into pieces with a "bang".

"earthquake……"

Zhou Ning made a very calm judgment. In just a short while, all kinds of statues and portraits in the room were shattered to the ground, and the conservative loss was no less than 500 Victars.

Then, Zhou Ning saw the massive chandelier above the hall collapse under its weight, shattering into a blanket of broken glass. Before he could react, a gust of wind swept over, picking up the glass on the floor and showering him with shattered glass. Because the distance was so close, Zhou Ning's left leg and abdomen immediately began to bleed bright red blood, which dripped onto the ground.

During this period, Observation Haki didn't play much of a role!

Immediately afterwards, due to the 300-pound weight of the chandelier, the ceiling collapsed, sending a shower of dirt and dust raining down from the sky. Moments later, even the roof began to shake violently. Zhou Ning saw the roof fall and quickly dodged, covering his abdominal wound. Without hesitation, he broke through the glass and jumped out of the window.

But the bad luck had not stopped yet. He had just landed when an iron barrel on the shelf of the opposite shop was blown down by the wind. As luck would have it, it just happened to cover the head of a wildebeest that was galloping over and pulling a carriage full of gas. The wildebeest's vision suddenly turned black, and it was frightened. It broke through the outer fence, pulling the heavy carriage, and rushed towards Zhou Ning.

Although he was slightly injured, with Zhou Ning's current strength, it was no problem for him to avoid the impact of the carriage.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Ning hurriedly put on his Phoenix armor and extended the grappling hook towards the pillar in the distance.

But at this moment, the carriage filled with gas collided violently with Zhou Ning's house, and the sparks ignited the gas.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the already shaky roof suddenly collapsed, and half of the house was instantly reduced to ruins.

Zhou Ning climbed onto a distant pillar, his heart almost stopping.

He had seen the roof fall beforehand, but he had never expected it to fall this way. He was certain that in that instant, he had lost at least 3000 Vectra. Damn Lucky Clover!

The severity of this bad luck completely stunned him. The series of accidents just now were like the coming of death, which happened suddenly and caught him completely off guard.

The bad luck had only just begun for less than half an hour, but he had already been injured and even his house had been blown up.

The bad luck that followed was also quite bizarre. In the next two hours or so, Zhou Ning fully experienced what it meant to feel like a thorn in the back, a fishbone stuck in the throat, and sitting on pins and needles. Both his body and mind suffered severe damage.

All his previous good fortune had to be repaid with even more bad luck. All sorts of disasters seemed to follow him like a shadow: earthquakes, hurricanes, thunder, accidental discharges of guns, and even a few near misses from falling objects. If it weren't for his exceptional physical fitness, his near-future-foresight Observation Haki, and his quick reaction speed, he would have likely been crushed by the endless stream of bad luck.

Three hours later, as the bad luck meter ran out, Zhou Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like half his life had been taken away. It seemed he would have to use this lucky clover with caution from now on, even when luck was good. Using it recklessly would most likely lead to financial and physical harm, just like this time.

Although Zhou Ning had not calculated how much he had lost this time, he conservatively estimated that it would not be less than 4000 Viktors.

If you think about it carefully, using the Lucky Clover this time is not that profitable.

Ugh……

Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel depressed.

The next thing he had to do was to go to the Docklands Fair Urban Housing Association and ask them to contact the Docklands Insurance Company to try to recover his losses.

After a lot of hard work, the final result determined by Docklands Insurance Company was that it could compensate about 1/4 of the losses, which was better than nothing.

Zhou Ning let out a breath and chose to return to his alchemy shop. His losses might only be recovered from the players.

I was originally thinking of finding an opportunity today to test whether the Stand ability can work on Yu-Gi-Oh cards, but now it seems I have to wait for a while.

…………

So, throughout the day, Docklands players found that Wayne Stewell's business hours were significantly extended.

It used to be from 11 am to 5 pm, but now it has been extended to four hours. I am so dedicated to my work that it seems like I have lost something.

Players speculated that the unusual situation might be a sign that another big plot was about to begin.

As we all know, the name Wayne Stewell is the weather vane of the main mission.

Therefore, players are also making every effort to improve their strength.

After nearly two months of public beta testing, the overall strength of top players is now approaching level 20, and more and more new players are constantly joining the game. Although the country a new player joins is completely random, the total number of players in the Kingdom of Braxton is also constantly increasing.

Zhou Ning was feeling both happy and sad. After losing a large amount of money, he had no choice but to find a way to squeeze the money back from the players, so he had to extend his business hours again.

Today, two more "main quests", namely [Mystery of the Ancient House] and [Origin of the Undead], were bought by several large guilds, which brought back a lot of money.

The "Unknown Secret," which had long been taken over by Jinse, XB, and the others, had reached 79% and was almost complete. They were indeed professional players! Zhou Ning couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.

There are still two "main tasks" left that no one has taken up, but Zhou Ning doesn't care. There is no time limit for this task, so it doesn't matter if he does it slowly.

"Qingbai Yejiu and Haicheng have completed the tasks you assigned. Do you want to receive the task rewards?" At this moment, a prompt appeared on Zhou Ning's NPC panel.

"Oh?" Zhou Ning was slightly taken aback. He remembered that he had indeed assigned them a task to find the whereabouts of the player kidnapped by the Cursed Cult. He hadn't expected them to be so capable, completing the task in just two or three days.

Sure enough, two people came over excitedly from a distance.
