Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

This morning was exceptionally uneventful. As usual, he came to the Alchemy Building. Since Zhou Ning's alchemy skills had reached the intermediate level, it was no longer cost-effective to use low-level materials in the Alchemy Building to upgrade. Therefore, Zhou Ning planned to find an opportunity to resign in a few days and rent an alchemy laboratory outside the school.

Although he didn't have much experience, Zhou Ning's professional ethics was not to slack off at work. He browsed the forum for a while in the laboratory, made some low-level potions, and gained a few hundred points of experience. Then Luo Xi came over to take over, and the two of them sat together for lunch in tacit understanding.

The person who came to hand over the guns to Zhou Ning at noon was actually Sherlock. As the captain of the third squad of the Japanese defenders, didn't he have any subordinates? God knows why he was used to death.

"5 pistols, 2 rifles, a total of 111 Viktors." Zhou Ning handed the guns to Sherlock.

Sherlock took the gun, counted the amount, and handed Zhou Ning a stack of bills: "Count it."

"No need to count. This is not the only business opportunity, right?" Zhou Ning was overjoyed, but pretended not to care and put the money into the inner pocket of his coat, smiling.

"You're right." Sherlock also smiled and handed Zhou Ning another bag of bullets. "Here are 50 bullets. The processing fee is 10 roshen per bullet as you said. If you have new guns in the future, you can bring them to the Xilin Grocery Store in the west of the city along with the finished bullets. Someone there will be responsible for receiving them. You know, we will be very busy for a while."

"No problem." Zhou Ning agreed immediately and took the bullets. The official agency was really generous. 50 bullets were almost 50 Victor's income, which filled his wallet immediately.

In the currency system of Braxton, Winnie is the lowest level and Victar is the highest level. One Victar = 10 Roshen, and 1 Roshen can be exchanged for 10 Winnie.

50 Vekta is already a huge sum of money.

However, the next problem was that Zhou Ning could only make potions and bullets in the alchemy laboratory attached to the school's alchemy shop. However, this alchemy laboratory was often rented out, and the material reserves were limited, making it impossible to mass-produce. After much thought, he decided to advance his plan and rent an alchemy laboratory outside the school.

Tearing open the weather forecast stick, it shows a red line and a light red line, which indicates that there will be special weather such as heavy rain or heavy snow this afternoon. The worst case scenario is acid rain, but it shouldn't be that serious.

Zhou Ning rented an umbrella from the store and walked out of the school.

Speaking of umbrellas, there's a bit of a joke. Zhou Ning, in the game, couldn't understand why people often rented umbrellas even though they were readily available. So he posed the question to an in-game NPC. The NPC replied without hesitation: "Umbrellas are expensive!" At first, he thought the NPC was being silly, but then Zhou Ning understood why people in the Apocalypse world needed to borrow umbrellas. It turns out that umbrellas are, in the game, a luxury item. One of Darkland's wealthiest merchants started out selling umbrellas.

Speaking of the game "Apocalypse", there are actually quite a few means of transportation. In Darkland alone, there are public carriages and intercity trains. Later in the Northland, there are also aerial transportation such as griffins and airships.

It's amazing how fantasy and science coexist.

The public carriage in Daklan City is pulled by two strange creatures similar to kodo beasts. People call them wildebeests, standard northern creatures. The carriage can seat more than a dozen people and can stop at any time, which is very convenient.

Five minutes later, a public carriage passed by and Zhou Ning waved to stop it.

"Go to Blair's Bookstore in the old town." Zhou Ning said to the driver.

"Blair's Bookstore? This carriage doesn't stop there. You can get off at Red Violet Tailor Shop and walk to Blair's Bookstore in 5 minutes." said the coachman.

"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded indifferently.

"3 kilometers, 6 ponies." A woman in her thirties on the public carriage spread her hands towards Zhou Ning and winked at him. "Don't think you can get a free pass just because you're handsome."

She is the ticket seller who is responsible for collecting money.

"Okay." Zhou Ning took out 6 Winnies from his pocket and handed it to the other party. He also took the bill handed over by the other party and got on the carriage.

The carriage was empty at this moment, with only a few people sitting in it. This was probably due to the poor economic situation in Braxton in recent years.

Zhou Ning sat in his seat, closing his eyes to rest. He had two purposes for coming to the old city this time. One was to buy materials and rent an alchemy laboratory, and the second was to pick up some bargains.

About ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the station and stopped.

After getting off the carriage, Zhou Ning followed the place in his memory and came to a store called "Blair's Bookstore".

The owner was a middle-aged man with a big belly, about forty years old. He was wearing a pair of monocles and sitting on a recliner reading a newspaper. There were piles of old books all around him.

This should be it.

Zhou Ning was certain in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face. "I heard from a friend that you have a set of alchemy books by the author Wendgun?"

"Windgunn?"

The shop owner sat up from the recliner, took off his glasses, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "It should be there, but I have to go look for it."

This "Blair Bookstore" is the only second-hand bookstore in the entire old town. Its business is not very good, but it has a large collection of books. Of course, I can't remember the specific location of a certain set of books.

Zhou Ning nodded: "Then please."

Half an hour later, the shop owner hurried back with a stack of old books. "That's all I have. A set of five. See if this is what you want."

Zhou Ning picked up a book and flipped through it. He confirmed that it was the book written by Windgun. He was secretly happy and said with a blank expression, "That's it. How much is it?"

"This set of old books is from the ancient Farebic period, and the minimum price is 20 Victors." The shopkeeper blinked his eyes. This set of books was actually bought by him for two Victors. Seeing that Zhou Ning wanted it very much, he shrewdly gave him a price that made him feel painful, but not too reluctant.

Zhou Ning pulled the corner of his mouth and turned to leave. The owner got a little anxious and grabbed Zhou Ning, "Then how much do you want?"

"The most I can offer is one Victa."

"What? A Viktor? Why don't you just rob it? This is an old book from the ancient Faerek period." The owner became excited, as if Zhou Ning had offered a rather insulting price.

"Victa, I don't want one more Winnie."

After saying that, Zhou Ning turned around and walked away, taking steps and counting silently in his mind: one step, two steps, three steps...

"Wait!" The shop owner hesitated for a moment, then stopped Zhou Ning and said, "The minimum is five Victors, no lower! You have to leave me some hard-earned money, right?"

Zhou Ning immediately stopped and turned around, "It's a deal."

Shopkeeper: ...

The final result was a happy one for everyone. Zhou Ning turned around and left with a stack of old books, feeling very happy as if he had found a treasure.

The author of this set of alchemy books, Windgun, was an alchemist in the ancient Faric period. He invented a self-contained system of alchemy. He combined engineering and alchemy to create various alchemical puppets and sealed them in a special card, a bit like Yu-Gi-Oh.

If this guy were in modern times, he would definitely be a genius like Seto Kaiba. He would create the Windgun Entertainment Group and develop a duel virtual imaging system. He would be on the rise in minutes.

But he just couldn't think of doing something like life refining, trying to give life to the alchemical puppet.

This led to a siege by the six nations, and Windgun disappeared without a trace.

In the previous life, a player got a clue and discovered that Windgun had hidden his alchemy in a set of old books in the form of code words.

The player who came later got this set of old books and cracked a special set of alchemy, but this was a bit of a waste, as it was only used to make some mechanical pets, although this also made him a lot of money.

Zhou Ning came here two years earlier than him and finally got this set of old books before the players.

After finding a secluded place and hiding the book in his inventory, Zhou Ning headed straight for the trading area.
