Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning had just clicked update when he slapped his head in frustration. It was all because of his quick fingers. It was a ghost image. There had actually been a red dot in the taskbar, indicating that a certain milestone had been reached. But he had clicked update too quickly, so he would have to wait until the update was finished before checking it again.

After clicking on update, the screen jumped instantly. This time, a panda wearing a Superman cape and a pineapple pattern with a shield mark on the chest appeared on the screen, flying slowly in the air, with a progress bar below.

Update progress: 1%...2%...

Sure enough, the update was much slower than before. It took an hour and a half for the progress bar to move forward only 1%, which was simply outrageous.

Since the game was still being updated, Zhou Ning simply got up, dug out a white shirt from the closet and put it on. From today on, in addition to reading for half an hour as per the clan precepts, his daily routine also included 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10km long-distance run.

To quote Rock Lee: "This... is youth!"

With Zhou Ning's current physical condition, completing this series of exercises was a breeze. It took him less than an hour from leaving home to returning, and he didn't even break a sweat. Yet, his attributes surprisingly increased! Sure enough, simulator products must be metaphysical.

The panel prompts:

[You have completed a round of Secret Training (God-level). Your physical fitness has improved slightly. Your agility has increased by 2 points, your strength has increased by 1 point, and your stamina has increased by 1 point.]

Now his physical attributes have become strength 43, agility 240, and stamina 111. He was originally a little concerned about the attributes he had just lost due to the black poisonous spring curse, but now he felt: What the hell?

Zhou Ning's heart was filled with joy. As long as he maintained this growth rate for a month, his agility would reach 300 points, reaching the level of a super-class professional. In another year, he would be able to challenge the demigod.

Oh, and this thing!

After rushing to the bathroom in an idol-like manner, Zhou Ning thought for a moment, then took out the three bottles of dragon blood potion he had stolen from Mr. Tulin from his inventory and placed them on the table.

This thing was extremely expensive in the previous life. After taking it, it can randomly increase many attribute values ​​without any side effects. It is extremely precious to players.

Both dragon blood and sorghum wood are priceless items. When they appeared in the previous life, it was already the middle stage of the game. During the auction, a bottle could be sold for more than 8000 Victors, which was outrageous.

In his previous life, Shuidi Chenxing bought 10 bottles, and then his title changed from the national husband to the national sucker.

Every bite of this is gold!

Zhou Ning did not hesitate. After confirming that everything was correct, he picked up a bottle of dragon blood mixture and drank it.

A cool feeling flowed through his body like a spring. Zhou Ning couldn't help but burp, and a prompt immediately came from the control panel.

[You use [Dragon Blood Mixture (Exquisite)], permanently increasing your attributes: Strength +4, Agility +2, Vitality +8, Spirit +8]

Fine potions can only be produced when the mixture quality reaches 120 points or above, commonly known as "critical hit". Mr. Turin is indeed very powerful.

Zhou Ning didn't stop, and took two more bottles of dragon blood mixture and drank them in one gulp. These three bottles of dragon blood mixture were all high-quality, increasing his strength by a total of 11 points, agility by 9 points, stamina by 16 points, willpower by 9 points, and spirit by 12 points, completely refreshing his attributes.

Potions that permanently increase attributes usually have a limit on the number of times they can be used. The Emerald Potion has a limit of 5 bottles, while the Dragon Blood Potion can only increase attributes 3 times, after which it will no longer work.

"It would be great if I had three or four more bottles of dragon blood mixture." Zhou Ning thought to himself.

In his previous life, Shuidi Chenxing was the first player to use the dragon blood mixture. After he bought 10 bottles of dragon blood mixture, he drank three bottles and found that the fourth bottle had no effect. However, he was stupid and rich, so he simply drank the rest in one breath. When he finished the seventh bottle, he surprisingly obtained the elite expertise of "Dragon Bloodline".

It looked familiar, right? Zhou Ning had come across this expertise twice before. The preciousness of the Dragon Blood Potion was obvious. If it weren't for a wealthy individual like Shuidi Chenxing, no one would have known about this secret.

It doesn’t matter, there will always be a chance to drink it later.

After drinking the dragon blood potion, Zhou Ning became more and more excited and had no desire to sleep at all. He wanted to go out for a few more laps. He took out his pocket watch to check the time. It was just after 2 o'clock. He simply went to his studio to replenish some potions and bullets, and by the way, make some potions that might be needed in the future.

Letting the robotic arm help him prepare alchemical materials, Zhou Ning began to prepare the potion in an orderly manner.

Grind, blend, boil, and serve...

After being promoted to a master alchemist, not only did the level cap of the secondary alchemist profession break through to 10/20, but the success rate of refining potions also received a significant improvement.

Before long, he had refined many expert-level and even master-level potions, such as petrification potion, super red, super blue, treasure hunting potion, flying potion, mongoose potion, sun potion, etc. Most of them were prepared for harvesting players.

The Mongoose Potion, which originally had a success rate of only 30%, now has a success rate of 70%. 30 out of 21 ingredients were successful, and the cost was 45 Victar. Zhou Ning arbitrarily set the price at 120 Victar and put it in the store. Considering that his customers are almost all Wandering Gunners, this potion that increases agility and randomly deducts other attributes should sell very well.

The most difficult thing to make is the Sun Potion that he just learned. The current success rate is less than 20%. 11 out of 2 bottles were successful. Considering the cost of more than 80 Victar per bottle... he paid a heavy price for being handsome.

After making the potion, Zhou Ning spent some time making a batch of bullets soaked in flame oil. Seeing that it was already past four in the morning, he chose to go to bed.

dong dong dong dong!

The next day, Zhou Ning was awakened by a knock on the door. He had only slept for three hours!

The first thing I did when I got up was to check the update progress of the simulator. After a night, it was only updated to 9%. It seems that it will take at least 3 or 4 days to complete the update.

Who's here to see me so early? Could it be Sherlock? Didn't I arrange for Chynn West to meet me at my alchemy shop at noon today?

Zhou Ning opened the door in confusion, and saw Richie Burke outside. He was wearing a black businessman's coat and holding a metal walking stick in his hand, which looked out of place.

What surprised Zhou Ning was that this stick was also an unknown strange object, and he didn't know what it was used for.

"Good morning, Mr. Burke, what can I do for you?"

Facing Zhou Ning, Rich Burke still had an instinctive fear and smiled:

"I've already processed one-third of that batch of magic satin. The rest will be handled separately by the Kingdom of Luins and the Kingdom of Sifarik. To expedite the process, I paid some officials in Bryston to make ends meet. The total sale price was 1 Victa. Here's the receipt. As agreed, I kept 3 for myself. The remaining 7 Victa is on this card. You can withdraw it at any Bryston National Bank at any time."

Richie Burke handed Zhou Ning a card with intricate carvings in his hand. "Besides that, I've also found the craftsman you asked me to contact who can make extraordinary items. If you're free, you can go this morning."

"56000 Vekta! Converted into Time Travel Coins, that's a full 5600! If I save up a little more, it's not impossible to buy the First Emperor Zhou Ning."

Zhou Ning, a lifelong poor man, was overwhelmed with emotion. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being rich but not knowing how to use new things, while being poor but not changing old family traditions. He suppressed his joy and smiled, saying, "Come in first. I need to wash up first. I have something to ask of you."
