Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

After some discussion, Zhou Ning learned that Ian had been working with Sherlock on the investigation into the giant incident. However, there had been no progress. Sherlock had even scolded Ian.

You wouldn't have guessed Ian was quite straightforward. When the conversation got heated, he even complained about Sherlock, saying that he didn't give him a day off, that he hadn't had a vacation for eight months, that he was unreasonable, and that he was stingy and mean, and so on.

Whether or not this was reasonable, I don't know, but Zhou Ning had experienced his stinginess. Every time he came to Xilin Grocery Store, the tea he was served was always the cheapest, with no pastries. Even the standard carriage was extremely rudimentary. It was said that this was directly related to the tight budget of the Japanese defenders, and that they had become so frugal.

They were quite unlucky, judging by the mission progress. After nearly several months, the mission was still stuck at 27%, with no progress at all. This left the entire Sunwatch team feeling dejected and ashamed.

It was based on this point that the top management of Brighton forced Qian West to abandon the investigation into the ghost of Jeremy Eden and transfer the investigation rights to Darkley Field.

If he had not accidentally learned from Rich Burke that the person who reported the case at that time, Adam Aiden, the owner of the "honesty" family motto, actually knew Earl Robbins, and that there were big problems with himself, the mission progress would not have suddenly jumped from 27% to 55%.

So is it possible that the Daywatchmen still don't know that there's something wrong with Adam Eden? When the investigation went astray from the very beginning, there was no way the entire incident would have resulted in any conclusion.

At this time, Sherlock, who looked very similar to Li Tie, just walked out from the inner corridor of Xilin Grocery Store. After seeing Zhou Ning, he smiled and greeted him, sat down next to him, poured himself a cup of cheap tea, and asked with a smile:

"It's a nice day today, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Sherlock, Ian quickly stood up, saluted, and said loudly:

"Captain, we're talking about the giant case!"

This guy looked a lot like Jason Statham, with a tough, chiseled look and a righteous air. It was completely different from the guy who had just been scolding his boss in front of him two minutes ago. Zhou Ning couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at him.

"Oh?" Sherlock couldn't help but become interested. He looked at Zhou Ning and asked, "Wayne, do you have any clues?"

After a brief thought, Zhou Ning decided to tell Sherlock about Adam Eden. After all, this was his mission, and sometimes it was necessary to seek official help.

He considered his words and said, "Sherlock, didn't you suspect that there was something wrong with the reporter Adam Aiden?"

"Adam Aiden?" Sherlock repeated the name thoughtfully and shook his head. "It's unlikely to be a problem. I remember I told you that his family motto is honesty. Once he tells a lie, he will lose his family motto."

"How is it impossible?"

Although he still had some concerns, Zhou Ning concealed the protagonist's name and recounted some of his experiences over the past two days, especially emphasizing the relationship between Adam Eden and Earl Robbins.

"That's right. No wonder some parts of his testimony don't make sense!" As Sherlock listened, his eyes gradually brightened. He thanked Zhou Ning, quickly stood up, and patted Ian who was sitting next to him, "Get to work!"

The job of a day watcher is really too competitive. There are no days off and you may have to work at any time in the night. Fortunately, it is only a part-time job...

At the same time, two prompts appeared on the panel:

[Your reputation with the Sun Watchers has increased by 2500 points and is currently close.]

[The progress of the B-rank mission "Tracing the Giant's Whereabouts" has been updated and is currently at 79%.]

The mission progress increased by 24% in one go. Sure enough, this was the correct way to complete this mission. Why did it look like a mystery game? Was it really like playing a game with Sherlock Holmes? Zhou Ning couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Wait..." Zhou Ning stopped Sherlock who was about to leave, "Do you have any standard revolvers left? I'd like to buy a batch, and the price is negotiable."

Today the players are too enthusiastic and business is so good that the inventory of thousands of revolvers that I have stockpiled for several months is running low. I just take this opportunity to replenish the inventory.

"They're piled in the room on the right side of the underground passage of the grocery store. Cherry is guarding there. Take them yourself. Don't take too much at once. I'll be watching you." Sherlock pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers, pulled Ian and hurried away.

Zhou Ning was shocked. Does this mean I can get it for free? Who said Sherlock was stingy? I'm going to get angry with him!

Zhou Ning found Cherry in the basement of the Xilin Grocery Store. He had worked with her during the Vic University alchemical bomb incident, but he hadn't expected her to be the quartermaster for the Japanese-supporting forces. She was independent of Lucius, the quartermaster for the Ascetic Church.

There are many different things that can be exchanged from her, mostly finished resources, including but not limited to firearms, ammunition, finished alchemical potions, etc. Although there are no good products, they are cheap and the quantity is large enough to satisfy your hunger.

The most eye-catching one is a flintlock rifle that looks similar to Richie Burke's, which is also an unknown strange object, but the exchange price is a shocking 9000 reputation points, which is enough to clear the reputation of the Day Guardians accumulated so far back to cold.

I don't have much demand for flintlock weapons, otherwise I could just replace them directly.

In addition, there are several dungeon stones that can be exchanged, including Shadow Trace, Cultist's Sacrifice Ceremony, and Weird Gallery. Zhou Ning was surprised to find that there were two dungeons related to himself: Alchemical Phantom and Wick University Alchemical Bomb Incident.

The price is the same as Lucius's, both 2500 reputation points.

Not wanting to take advantage of the situation, Zhou Ning chose to exchange for a batch of revolvers. He returned to the ground and waited for a while before Leonardo pushed open the door and walked in.

"What's the matter? Have you found anything?" Zhou Ning asked impatiently.

"No." Leandro shook his head with a hint of frustration. "These workhouses are too far apart from each other. I went to three of them today, but didn't find any trace of Chris Fisher. The only strange thing is that the layout of these three workhouses is exactly the same."

Zhou Ning nodded in understanding. It seemed that Leonardo should not have found the alchemy array hidden in the secret room. However, this was not surprising. Not everyone possessed the Observation Haki like him.

…………

In the next two days, Zhou Ning continued to operate his alchemy shop during the day and continued to search the remaining orphanages at night, but unfortunately, neither he nor Leonardo found any useful clues.

The only thing that was certain was that all the workhouses were likely altars for the Ascendant ritual, as I had already found nine on my side...

Sherlock has made great progress. I don't know what he has done, but the task progress has reached 91% and the task is about to be completed.

Furthermore, after three days of selling, Zhou Ning's experience points had surpassed 1.3 million, and his accumulated Viktoria had surpassed 16. He was just one step away from going from "mediocre" to "powerful." Jinse was already level 38, and if nothing went wrong, she'd reach level 40 and start the Pro League tomorrow night or the morning after. He still had one last day to reap the rewards.

But I have an appointment with John to meet at Vick University tomorrow morning. John wants to introduce a new partner to me, and I never have the habit of breaking appointments.

Time is extremely tight for me!

"The time travel simulator has been updated. Welcome to the time travel simulator 3.0!"

Zhou Ning had just returned home when he suddenly heard an electronic sound in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

After a few days of hiatus, the update was finally completed. Zhou Ning closed the door, pulled a chair and sat down, and couldn't wait to click in!
