Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

It was evening when they returned to the Myrtle Rooster, and Spark Lambert was pacing restlessly on the deck.

Seeing Zhou Ning and the others coming back, Spark Lambert showed a happy expression on his face. He quickly came over and asked, "Wayne, when are we returning?"

Zhou Ning took off his black hat and smiled, "We're going back to Southwest now. After a night of rest, we'll take the steam train back to Docklands tomorrow. Any problem?"

"No problem, I'll go back with you. Somehow, I always have an extremely uneasy feeling in my heart." Spark Lambert said with some worry.

Feeling uneasy?

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment, thinking that an ancient god might be behind this incident. This uneasy feeling was probably some kind of omen. But he didn't want to scare the other person, so he comforted him a few words and returned to his cabin to rest.

Since the Myrney Rooster was a pirate ship and did not have a pass to enter and exit the port of the Kingdom of Bryston, when they approached the southeast gate of Southwest County, Zhou Ning asked a few pirates to stay on the ship, and he and the others returned to Southwest County along the forest path.

The person in charge of guarding the gate was still the same guard he had met before. Zhou Ning smiled at him friendly and stepped into South West County again.

"Where do you live?" Zhou Ning looked at Rich Burke and others and asked.

"It's near the bar where I met you the other day," Rich Burke said.

"That's not far." Zhou Ning nodded, followed Rich Burke and others into a rented carriage, and sat down in turn.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the center of South West County. After agreeing to meet at the hotel where Zhou Ning was staying in the evening, everyone returned to their residences.

Back in the hotel room, Zhou Ning lit the fireplace, lay down comfortably, and let out a long sigh. After being busy all day, he could finally take a break.

After drinking a cup of black tea, he ordered a plate of Misty Sea Crab Salad in the hotel dining area. This is a specialty of South Wales, slightly fishy but very delicious. Zhou Ning couldn't stop eating after taking a bite.

Just when he had almost finished eating, there was a soft knock on the door.

Is it Rich Burke? Zhou Ning took off his napkin, wiped his hands with it, and then stood up to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Richie Burke standing outside the door, looking uneasy.

After inviting Rich Burke in and taking a seat, he pulled out a white bag from his waist, placed it on the table, and said in a deep voice, "We just counted it. This batch of magic satin cloth is worth 24 Victa. According to the ratio we agreed on, we can take 4.8 Victa. The exact amount will be divided after the sale. We don't have that much money at the moment, so you can count it."

"No thanks." Zhou Ning waved his hand and took out the skull gold coin he had obtained earlier. He shook it and placed it on the table. "This is a Modoric cursed gold coin I found in the treasure trove. Toss it to randomly receive a curse or reward. I have one chance to use it. I'll offer 3000 Victar. You can choose to continue bargaining."

"It's yours." Logically speaking, this price was definitely a premium, and Rich Burke made the decision without hesitation.

"I will go back to Daklan with you. I have a way to sell this batch of magic satin cloth. As for the Myrni Rooster... according to the rules of the northerners, whoever contributes owns it. This ship is yours. What are you going to do with it?" Rich Burke looked at Zhou Ning and asked.

"There's actually no use for me to keep this ship. I have a suggestion. Would you like to consider it?" Zhou Ning smiled.

"What's the proposal?" Rich Burke asked instead.

"You and your subordinates have worked for me for three years. After three years, this ship will belong to you."

I probably won’t need you in three years… Zhou Ning added silently in his heart.

"Let me think about it..." Richie Burke was slightly shaken and closed his eyes and fell into thought.

Although the Myrni Rooster was an old model, this type of airship was worth at least 6 to 7 Vectra. Moreover, it had the cannon modified by Captain Sidney. With it, going to sea would be much easier. Besides, it was only three years away. I was 38 this year, so in three years I would only be 41...

"Aren't you afraid that we will run away after we get the ship?" Richie Burke asked suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you are not afraid of becoming a bounty." Zhou Ning said with a smile as a compass appeared in his hand.

Rich Burke: …

"I agree! But you can't force us to do anything too dangerous." After a while, Richie Burke nodded and agreed.

"It's a wise decision." Zhou Ning smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

Zhou Ning never does business at a loss, and letting Rich Burke join was actually something he had planned to do a long time ago.

The guild level may seem useless, but after reaching level 5, you can apply to the Adventurer's Guild to purchase a settlement. After reaching level 7, you can also apply for the "Pioneering Mission" officially issued by Brighton. While gaining a large amount of contribution points, you also have the opportunity to obtain the title of Brighton Kingdom - of course, this is not something Zhou Ning can consider at this stage.

After Richie Burke and his men join the guild, players can work (complete tasks) in exchange for his and his men's guidance, and change their jobs to become meteorologists, thieves, alchemists, pyromancers, etc.

Once you have your own base, you can gradually develop it into the player's main city, and NPCs are of course indispensable.

After seeing Richie Burke off, Zhou Ning pondered for a moment and opened the guild page.

The Starry Sky Guild was currently at its full capacity of 65, and it wasn't possible to add people like Rich Burke yet. However, with the recent hard work players put into contributing points, they were about to reach level 2. Even if they couldn't reach it, they could still level up immediately after returning to Darkland and completing quests. To encourage players to work harder, Zhou Ning, after a brief hesitation, uploaded a few new items to the Guild Store.

They are two dungeon collection stones: The Final Battle at the Forbidden Peak and The Destruction of Austin Manor, as well as a skill book with Armament Haki.

The Forbidden City's Decisive Battle was defined by the system as a "what if" scenario, which translates to "fantasy" in Chinese. In a previous life, there was an "what if" scenario where the original protagonist, Leandro, became one of the four heroes. The level limit was 34-45, and the current first-tier team, led by Jinse, was at level 28. With a little more effort, they could advance.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ning priced the two copies, the Battle of the Forbidden Peak and the Destruction of Austin Manor, at 300 contribution points. According to the conversion of Viktar, it only costs 150 per time, which is really good value for money.

As for the skill book of Armament Haki, Zhou Ning set the price to 600 contribution points and 50000 experience points, and the rarity was set to epic. Seeing that the professional league was about to start, it was almost time to reveal some good skills.

After learning Armament Haki, there are also some compound skills linked to it, which are the main sources of experience and money.

Now the relationship between the roaming gunner player and myself is one of shared success and failure. Only when the player becomes stronger can I become stronger.

The champion of the first professional league can only be the Wandering Gunners.

After setting the price, Zhou Ning stretched and was about to lie down on the bed to finish his reading task for the day when he suddenly heard the system prompt sound:
