Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

This is quite impressive. He only lived for seven days during his last time traveling through time, yet it already gave him two skills and one specialty. If he had lived longer...

Isn't this the rhythm of taking off?

Basic Endurance was a rare skill that increased his stamina. Basic English wasn't particularly useful in the game, but it gave him a linguist subclass, which made things a bit smoother in the simulation. As for Basic Pickpocketing...

With the help of my dexterous hands, I might be able to untie the rope at the back after spending some time.

At this moment, the door opened again, and three members of the Curse God Cult walked in. They roughly pulled a young man up from the ground and dragged him out.

This time, even Zhou Ning couldn't help but sweat. The young man was not far ahead of the fat man. Maybe it would be their turn in a few rounds.

Not long after, another line of subtitles flashed before my eyes:

[The sacrifice has died, current progress is 27/36. ]

According to the copy settings, this group of inhumane cultists will sacrifice 36 people in a short period of time. No one here can escape.

The little fat boy was trembling with fear. He moved closer to Zhou Ning and said in a trembling voice, "Hey, do you think we are dead?"

Zhou Ning understood the little fat boy's desire to seek comfort, but he never lied. Besides, who isn't a baby?

After a moment of silence, the honest Zhou Ning answered honestly, "Yes, he will probably die miserably."

fatty:……

If there is a negative emotion system, you can probably see a prompt of negative emotion +1000 above the little fat man’s head.

He wanted to seek comfort, but got the opposite answer. The little fat boy could no longer hold on and burst into tears.

He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and probably had practiced crying, so his lung capacity was full. At this moment, his crying voice was extremely loud, like bel canto. Many people in the room were crying, but for a moment they were all stunned by the little fat man.

"I'm still young, I haven't enjoyed enough, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..." The little fat man cried very sadly, and his fat trembled as his body trembled.

"Don't cry, everyone will die sooner or later. Besides, don't you have so many people to accompany you?" Zhou Ning was also shocked by the little fat boy's crying and hurried to comfort him. Unexpectedly, this only added fuel to the fire, and the little fat boy cried even harder.

"I don't want to die. My father is a duke, and I will be a duke in the future. Besides... I am engaged to the daughter of Earl Harold, and we will get married in two years. Wuuuu... Is there anyone who can save me... I want to get married..." The little fat man cried more and more sadly.

Zhou Ning looked a little strange. This little fat boy was so chubby, but he was actually the heir to the dukedom and even engaged. He himself was so old and had lived two lifetimes without ever being married. He couldn't help but sigh at the disparity in life.

Wait, a duke? I remember there were only two dukes in the Kingdom of Bryston, right? Since he died at the beginning, there should only be one heir...

A message suddenly popped up on the panel:

[You trigger the D-level mission [Gratitude of the West Family], accept/give up?]

Zhou Ning understood in his heart that his guess was correct, it was indeed the West family.

There is nothing to hesitate about, accept it!

Mission Tip: As the standard-bearer of the nobility of the Kingdom of Bryston, the Wester family has one and only one legitimate heir: Alan Wester. He holds immense significance for the Wester family. Rescue him from danger, and you will earn the Wester family's friendship and gratitude. Of course, the choice is yours; not rescuing him will not incur any loss, and no one will blame another victim.

It was indeed the West family. Zhou Ning's eyes flashed.

According to the game's settings, in addition to the warrior, mage, and priest triangle that is similar to other games, this world also has two unique career systems: meteorologist and clan-trained knight.

The Wester family is the representative of family-trained knights.

Most knight families have prominent status and family trees long enough to be published in books, as well as a family motto that must be strictly followed.

Adhering to the clan precepts can grant you all sorts of magical powers. However, in the game, clan knights first appeared ten years ago, and their role was not in combat.

In his previous life, Zhou Ning had seen this anecdote in the game's library:

About seventy to eighty years ago, there was a large family in the Kingdom of Falik called the Bradenrezer family. The family motto of this family was fair trade, to be meticulous, and never suffer losses.

Although they were very stingy, their honesty and fairness soon helped them become the largest business family in the Kingdom of Fariq and accumulate enormous wealth.

But when the Kingdom of Bryston conquered the capital of the Kingdom of Falik, this vast wealth became the source of disaster.

King Charles V of the then-Bladenstone Kingdom forced the head of the Bladenrezer family to hand over the money. However, due to family precepts, the family must be extremely careful and not suffer any loss. Without money, there is no life.

In order to force a confession, the king broke the bones of the head of the Bradenrezer family one by one. Before dying, the head finally awakened the power of the family motto and uttered a curse:

"Anyone who takes the gold coins of the Bradenrezer family will be punished forever."

Although the head of the Bradenrezer family died, the other family members were not stubborn. Charles V finally got the money as he wished. However, as the result of the curse, all those who took possession of the money encountered accidents. Charles V even died in an accidental fall from his horse during an outing.

By now, the Bradenrezer family's mansion has become a tourist attraction, filled with gold coins, but no one dares to take even one.

This was the power of the Bradenrezer family motto: fair trade, meticulous bargaining, and never accepting a loss. Adhering to this motto allowed them to acquire immense wealth, while anyone who forced them to violate it would surely pay a heavy price.

Although he didn't know what the West family motto was, nor did he know what the level of supernatural power was in this world shortly after the game began, one thing was certain: saving the little fat boy Alan would definitely make him very rich.

But for now, Zhou Ning has to make sure he has the ability to escape first.

He had previously consumed a time travel coin, and after completing a time travel, he received another one back. Looking at the balance of two time travel coins, Zhou Ning chose to simulate again.

[Preparing to travel through time...Travel Coins -1]

[Already matched with you in a parallel space...]

[Do you want to spend another time-travel coin to re-match your talents? ]

Zhou Ning chose no without hesitation. He only had one time-travel coin left, and he had to use it wisely.

[You have selected Talent 3, Talent 5, and Talent 7 by default.]

[In this parallel world, you are a PhD in electrical engineering, have a great talent for literature, and are very lucky. You often win a free bottle of drink when you buy one.]

[The current world exploration level is 0.2%. When the exploration level reaches 66.7%, you will have the permission to open the next simulation map.]

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

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

[You traveled back to London in 1894, and from this moment on, the wheel of history began to turn.]

On December 1894, 12, as a PhD in electrical engineering, you mastered basic English, making communication easier. You approached everyone, hoping to find a partner to build a two-phase AC generator. No one paid any attention, and everyone thought you were crazy. But it didn't matter; geniuses are always lonely.

December 1894, 12. I didn't eat yesterday, and I haven't eaten today either. But it doesn't matter. Poverty can't defeat a giant, but hunger can. As a last resort, you find a job washing dishes in a restaurant.

December 1894, 12, washing dishes...

December 1894-12, 22, washing dishes... On Christmas Day, you met a man named George Bernard Shaw. You should have had something in common, but the two of you parted ways unpleasantly due to a lack of communication. You decided that the rest of the time couldn't be wasted any longer.

On January 1895, 1, you celebrated your first New Year in London. To celebrate, you took a job in a textile factory.

June 1895, 6. You fell in love. (Happy +10)

On July 1895, 7, your relationship was strongly opposed by the owner of the textile factory. You wanted to say the line: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don't despise the young and poor." But before you could say it, you were fired!

On July 1895, 7, you were very angry and started making two-phase AC generators. As the saying goes, things change over time. Don't despise the young and poor.

February 1896, 2. You're already very poor now, even before 15 years. (Family Status -2)

On March 1896, 3, you started working at a machinery factory. Soon after, you were promoted to assistant engineer. (Family Status +7)

In 1925, you had two grandsons and one granddaughter (Happy +1)

In 1935, you began to feel that you were getting old and that you were no longer able to do anything (Health -2).

In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and World War II broke out, spreading across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. That same year, your wife, Maggie, passed away. Sitting alone at home, you felt a sense of emptiness. Looking back on the four decades of love and support you had shared, if you could live it all over again, what would you choose? (Happiness -4), You achieved: Sense and Sensibility.

In September 1940, Germany bombed London, England, and your home was accidentally destroyed by the bombardment. As an ordinary person, you died in this air raid.
