Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

He clearly sensed the presence of divinity in the statue of the elven goddess. Perhaps it was this trace of divinity that made Zhou Ning feel dangerous. If it was really as Jasmine said, who was it that left the divinity here?

Zhou Ning had a vague feeling of unease. It was his spirit reminding him that he must not reveal his identity as an outsider here, otherwise something extremely terrifying might happen.

At this time, there was still a steady stream of residents coming from the small town in the southeast, their movements sluggish and stiff. From the five leaves at the front of the team to the last leaf, a conservative estimate was that there were two to three thousand people, arranged in a long queue.

Since this world lacked the sun and moon, Zhou Ning had no way of determining the exact time. He continued to silently count to 3400 before the line finally stopped. A few seconds later, the church door opened, and an elderly elf wearing a hood and a dark blue classical robe with six leaves on the chest emerged, glancing at the crowd.

Although his face was completely hidden under the hood, Zhou Ning could still feel a stinging pain on his face. It was obvious that this glance was blessed by some kind of magic.

Zhou Ning: ...

He subconsciously moved his feet back, rubbing the Traveler's Ring between his left thumb and index finger, ready to flee at any moment. He felt a great threat from this old elf, at least at the level of a Super Class Professional or above. In a real one-on-one fight, Zhou Ning felt that he would not be his match. No, he was definitely not his match.

"jo-ra-da-kol-di-ya-ru."

Fortunately, the old elf didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and uttered a low and vague sound. Zhou Ning said he couldn't understand it at all, but at the front of the queue, a total of five elves with five leaves painted on their chests began to move. They still maintained a strange silence and followed the old elf into the church without saying a word.

After they went in, Zhou Ning listened carefully, but heard no sound, only absolute, utter silence. He could only assume that there was an alchemy array in the church, the same as the one in the Elf King's tomb.

"How to do?"

On the one hand, there is a very scary and unknown enemy, but I have to enter the church to explore.

Oh, right, didn't I just complete the level-removal quest in the Elf King's Tomb? I haven't turned it in yet. Now I can only cram and improve my strength as quickly as possible.

Zhou Ning made a quick decision, opened the panel, and after killing 10 BOSS-level creatures, the level cap removal task was successfully completed. In the game, he originally needed to go to the north to find an old man named Locke to hand in the task, but fortunately, he didn't need to do that now, he just had to level up.

He took a look at the experience he had accumulated before. After raising the level to the maximum and spending 98 experience points to upgrade to the Master of Black Magic, the experience points had been used up. But after the unremitting efforts and accumulation of the past few days, he now had a full million experience points.

"My level can finally break through the version cap." Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel relieved. The game has only been open for more than a month, and he has already exceeded level 60. This is all thanks to the players. After they appeared, his wealth and experience points increased terrifyingly.

After this advancement, he can be regarded as the top combat force under the super-class professionals. Of course, this is just the beginning, which means that he can fight with ordinary super-class professionals. At the same time, he can also set foot in many dangerous areas, trigger various rare tasks, and obtain a large number of rare skills and equipment.

If you want to become a super-class professional, you probably have to advance the profession of demon hunter again. It’s a long and arduous journey.

"upgrade!"

Zhou Ning invested his experience into the level.

[你的主职业【猎魔人】升级到了lv35，敏捷+4（传奇体魄+1）、精神+2（传奇体魄+1）、体力+2，意志+1，获得3点自由属性点。]

[You have unlocked the level cap of 60. Your status has been slightly improved. Your resistance to abnormal status has increased. When you fight with creatures with lower status than you, you will have a slight suppression effect. Your health and concentration value ratio has increased!]

In the game, this is how the rank upgrade works: it gives you longer health and mana bars, and at the same time increases your resistance to abnormal states like bewitching, frenzy, and fear. Zhou Ning's health growth rate has increased from 15 points at the last upgrade to 20 points now. He clearly feels that his physique has become tougher and his physical strength has increased a lot.

Although this upgrade did not unlock as many specialties and skills as the job change from a Wandering Gunner to a Demon Hunter, this rank upgrade undoubtedly significantly increased his combat effectiveness.

Although there was no prompt on the panel, Zhou Ning could clearly feel that his perception was sharper, the coverage of his observation Haki had increased by 1/4, and the suppression of the divine power of the elf goddess in front of him had also been slightly reduced.

It took 34 million experience points for the Demon Hunter to upgrade from level 35 to level 162, which is still bearable for now. Zhou Ning spent a lot of experience points and upgraded from level 34 to level 38 in one go.

[你的主职业【猎魔人】升级到了lv36，敏捷+4（传奇体魄+1）、精神+2（传奇体魄+1）、体力+2，意志+1，获得3点自由属性点。]

[你的主职业【猎魔人】升级到了lv37，敏捷+4（传奇体魄+1）、精神+2（传奇体魄+1）、体力+2，意志+1，获得3点自由属性点。]

[你的主职业【猎魔人】升级到了lv38，敏捷+4（传奇体魄+1）、精神+2（传奇体魄+1）、体力+2，意志+1，获得3点自由属性点。]

The Demon Hunter class required 239 million experience points to advance to the next level, and there were currently 260 million experience points remaining on the panel. The next class change was only available after reaching Demon Hunter level 45. It was still early, so Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment before deciding to forgo further leveling and focus on improving his skills first.

Looking at the skill list, he now has a full set of skills. The two most commonly used Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki have been upgraded to expert level, and Observation Haki and Ripple Breathing are still advanced. Although there may be requirements for fusion skills in the future, the cost-effectiveness of these skills is too high. Zhou Ning didn't think too much about it and directly invested experience to upgrade Observation Haki and Ripple Breathing by one level each. The remaining experience was invested in Fatal Direct Shot and Silver Bullet, bringing them to expert level as well.

Including the two attributes he had left, he still had 14 free attribute points left to add. Zhou Ning put all of them into Willpower, bringing it to 100 points. In Apocalypse, Willpower determined resistance to abnormal states and the upper limit of Willpower. The higher Willpower, the higher the resistance to abnormal states, and it also increased learning speed. This just made up for his shortcomings in mental attacks.

After completing all this, Zhou Ning's personal combat power soared again, from 14225 to 19220.

Evaluation: You are now considered a leader in the extraordinary world. In some places in the Kingdom of Blyston, you are a living legend.

Not only has his strength greatly increased, but even his evaluation has changed. This is probably due to the increase in his legendary status. I have to say, Zhou Ning felt quite happy to read such comments.

After focusing back on reality, about half an hour later, the door opened again and the old elf walked out again.

"jo-ra-joa-kol-di-ya-ru."

Zhou Ning keenly noticed that the "da" in the previous sentence became "joa", which should be calling the four-leaf elf to go in with him.

Moreover, the five-leaf elves who had just entered did not follow him out. Instead, more than twenty four-leaf elves went in with him. As the church door creaked shut, the surroundings returned to silence again.
