Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

It was already 7 o'clock when I got back to the dorm. To my surprise, my roommate John, who had only existed in legends and was elusive, was back!

At this moment, John was sitting at the head of the bed smoking with a melancholy look on his face, and his dog son Polly was excitedly jumping on his bed and licking his face desperately.

Zhou Ning silently watched this heartwarming scene of loving father and filial son, but finally couldn't bear to tell him:

His son just ate shit.

Seeing Zhou Ning come in, John extinguished his cigarette with a melancholic look: "What should I do, Wayne? I'm probably going to be beaten to death by my dad."

In my memory, John's family was very well-off. His father was a leading businessman in Docklands, and his family owned the entire red-light district near the old town.

My predecessor wanted John to treat me to a meal and experience life several times, but I didn't have the courage to ask.

Zhou Ning:?

Put the bread on the table, a little curious.

"That's not the case. You're the only son in your family. You shouldn't kill your own relatives for the sake of justice."

"...You're not going to get into trouble, are you?"

John shook his head sadly: "If I commit a crime, it will be easy. As long as it's not a serious crime, my dad will be able to get me out anyway."

Then he sighed again, "Remember that store I invested in? It's about to go bankrupt and I'll lose everything I invested."

Zhou Ning lost interest immediately, thinking he would hear some melodramatic ethical plot like brothers quarreling and sister-in-law tempting him.

"It's just a failed investment. It's nothing to your family, right?"

John: "My father gave me 10,000 Vectra..."

Zhou Ning: ...

As far as I can remember, John started his business in July, investing in a boutique pharmacy off-campus. At the end of July, he felt it wasn't profitable, so he tore it down and rebuilt it into a boutique weapons store.

In his words, if you are going to do something, do it well.

And now it is September 9nd.

...If I were his father, I would probably beat him to death.

"There's no hope. Just wait for death! Remember to come to me in your dreams when you hold your funeral."

Zhou Ning once again felt the disparity of life at John's place. Silently, he carried his clothes into the bathroom, completely unwilling to communicate with this evil rich man.

When I came out of the shower, John had already fallen asleep. A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door.

He was the staff member who came to each dormitory to take the coins from the gas meter. When he took the gas bill, I looked at him as if he had been taken advantage of, like a landlord's idiot son.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking to find that in three days, my gas consumption has exceeded 4 roshen.

Poor! Zhou Ning sighed.

The sound of raindrops could be heard outside the window, and the rain was getting heavier. Zhou Ning closed the window, jumped onto his bed, and sat down cross-legged. The rigid demand for alchemy had come to an end, and now that he had some free time, it was just the right time to sort out his abilities.

Zhou Ning opened the panel. After a few days of accumulation, the experience he could control had reached more than 23000. Some of it was gained from practicing alchemy, and the rest was gained from reading.

Zhou Ning now has a total of 7 common skills that can be used for fusion, namely: English Proficiency (Expert Level), Pickpocketing (Intermediate Level), Shooting Proficiency (Advanced Level), Pickup Proficiency (Expert Level), Ripple Breathing (Elementary Level), Mozambique Shooting (Elementary Level), CAR Shooting (Intermediate Level).

It takes 10 points of spirit to advance the Ripple Breathing Technique from the beginner level to the intermediate level. Zhou Ning currently has 9 points. Fortunately, he still has some free attribute points left, which increased his spirit to 10, finally reaching the standard of a normal person.

After the attributes met the requirements, Zhou Ning did not hesitate and upgraded the Ripple Breathing Method (Elementary) to the Intermediate level.

[Ripple Breathing Technique (Intermediate): A very effective breathing technique that increases Strength by 4 and Agility by 4.]

The strength and agility bonuses have been increased a bit, and the description has also changed from outstanding to very outstanding, but the improvement is not that big.

Then Zhou Ning chose Shooting Mastery (Advanced) and Ripple Breathing (Intermediate), and clicked on Skill Fusion.

[Would you like to fuse Marksmanship (Advanced) and Ripple Breathing (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 8000 experience points. The success rate is 70%]

The success rate is lower than in the game, probably because [Ripple Breathing] is not a skill in the game.

Zhou Ning chose yes without hesitation, clearing his experience in Ripple Breathing and Shooting Mastery, and returning to the beginner level.

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill: [Ripple Shot].]

[Ripple Shot (Basic): A shooting method that infuses the bullet with ripple power. It is extremely lethal to dark creatures. When using this skill, Strength and Agility are increased by 3.]

Zhou Ning's eyes lit up. He had imagined many ways to combine Ripple Breathing and Shooting Mastery, but currently [Ripple Shooting] was the best effect he had expected. Although it did not have the accuracy bonus of Advanced Shooting Mastery, it integrated the ripple power into the bullet and added an additional 3 points of strength and agility, bringing the lethality to the extreme.

There were about 8000 experience points left. I glanced at the skill list again and immediately upgraded the Mozambique Shooting Method (Elementary) to the intermediate level.

Mozambique Drill (Intermediate): A close-quarters gunfighting technique that fires two rapid shots at the target's body, followed by a single headshot. Its damage is significantly improved compared to the entry-level skill.

[Would you like to merge the Mozambique Marksmanship (Intermediate) and the CAR Marksmanship (Intermediate)? This fusion will cost 8000 experience points. The success rate is 48%]

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill: [Rapid Pursuit].]

[Rapid Pursuit (Elementary): A deadly combination of long-range and short-range gun fighting techniques that allows you to enter a special combat state and passively increase your combat power.]

"It actually succeeded?"

This time, even Zhou Ning himself didn't dare to believe his luck. However, looking at the description, he had no idea how powerful this skill was. It was just like the specialty he learned from John Wick: Deadly Rhythm, both of which were quite abstract.

After completing the skill, I read some more books in the dark. My reading progress successfully reached 547/1000. I looked at the time and it was just past eleven o'clock.

Zhou Ning, who had been patient for two days, finally couldn't help it after looking at his remaining balance of 9 time-travel coins. He opened the simulator and chose to travel through time.

[Preparing to travel through time...Travel Coins -5]

【Please select the time travel mode...】

【1. Directly cross over.】

【2. Use the parallel world template to travel through time.】

As usual, let’s first take a look at which templates are refreshed by the second option!

The previous three templates, Extreme Hacker, Crazy Clown, and God of Gamblers, have all been cleared. Three new templates have appeared.

The first one is Zhou Ning, who wears glasses and is well-mannered. He has a shrewd personality, a talent for design (blue), and skills such as architectural design (expert level) and accounting (intermediate level).

The title is Architect Zhou Ning, and the price of the time travel is 3 time travel coins.

The second picture shows me wearing a black mage robe, holding three large fireballs. My personality is volatile. My talents are Fire Magic Genius (purple), Magic Affinity (purple), and Magic Focus (purple). My skill is Fire Magic Omniscience (god-level).

The title is "City Burned by Flames·Zhou Ning", and the price of the time travel ticket is 250 time travel coins, which is a sky-high price!

When Zhou Ning saw the third picture, he couldn't help but exclaim. The picture showed him, with a weathered look in his eyes, dressed in a black suit, half his body hidden in darkness. His personality was wise and calm. His talents were Scientific Genius (purple), Sports Genius (blue), Vampire Physique (purple), Daywalker (purple), and Rapid Recovery (purple). His skills were Ripple Breathing (expert), Painting (expert), Writing (master), and Shooting Mastery (expert)... a densely packed array of skills.

The title is Legendary Vampire Zhou Ning, and the price of the time travel game is actually 0.

Zhou Ning was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He had received a hint after completing "Lost in Fog City": the legendary vampire Zhou Ning has become a hidden template and can be selected with extremely good luck.

Is today my lucky day?

Is there any need to choose? Zhou Ning chose 1 without hesitation and chose the legendary vampire Zhou Ning to travel through time.

[Match successful. In this parallel world, you are the greatest scientist, writer, and physicist of the 20th century. You have won two Nobel Prizes and represented the Allies in victory in World War II. You are a legend, a living legend, and also a vampire who can live in the daylight. The Stone Mask gave you the talents and body of a vampire, but your body, which has been initially transformed by the Stone Mask and the Edge Red Stone, has also given you the ability to walk in the daylight. What changes will you bring to this world? Wait and see.]

[The current world exploration level is 56.8%. When the world exploration level reaches 66.7%, you will have the permission to open the next map.]

[When you die in the simulation, the game ends.]

[Ridging the time machine…1%…33%…65%…95%…whoosh…travel completed.]
