Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

December 1452, 12, three days after the Docklands Massacre.

The Parliament of Braxton announced the inauguration of the new king. On a raised platform erected in the square of Witsher Church, Charles VII's brother, Carlos Charles Arthur Huddlestone, was sworn in as the eighth King of Braxton:

"I, Charles VIII, by the grace of the Kingdom of Bryston and my other territories and dominions, and of the Ascetic Order, do faithfully promise and swear to love my people, to strive to uphold constitutional government, and to seek peace and prosperity for the people of all the territories of the Kingdom of Bryston."

It is worth mentioning that Charles VIII was only 23 years old when he took office, making him the youngest king in history. He will shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the Kingdom of Braxton for many years to come.

That same afternoon, in the newly established National Cemetery for this incident in the northwest of Docklands.

Zhou Ning walked into the cemetery holding an umbrella.

Today is the day of the mass funeral following the Docklands tragedy.

All the victims were buried together in a huge tomb.

There are densely packed tombstones in front of the cemetery, stretching as far as the eye can see. Most of them are tombstones built by the Braxton authorities based on the lists of all missing and dead people.

All that filled my ears were heartbreaking cries.

In front of a tombstone, Zhou Ning saw John's parents, John's younger brother, and John's tombstone. On the tombstone were engraved John's name, his portrait, and a line of epitaph. John was smiling brightly:

"He was a less successful entrepreneur who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he was the best brother and the best son."

"And also a best friend." Zhou Ning said silently.

When he saw Zhou Ning, John's father stopped and said with a touch of sadness, "Are you Wayne? I'm glad you're here today. I've heard John mention your name countless times, whether at family gatherings or over meals."

"This business with you is the only one he's ever made a profit on, and it has a very good future. But he told me that what he's most proud of isn't the deal, but making you such a great friend."

Zhou Ning closed his eyes, not knowing how to respond. John's father continued:

"I will continue to help him run his business. This is also his wish. Wayne, your dividends will remain the same. I will transfer the money to your bank account every month. Until I die."

Then he stood and chatted with Zhou Ning for a few words, then said goodbye and left.

Zhou Ning took off his hat, raised his head, slowly exhaled, and used his materialization ability to conjure up several illusory bouquets of flowers, placing one of them in front of John's grave.

Then he found the names of Turin and his wife on two adjacent tombstones.

Because they have no relatives in this world, there are no photos or epitaphs on these two tombstones.

Zhou Ning squatted down and used his fingers as a pen to carve a line of words on Mr. Tulin's tombstone:

"She has passed away, and I rest in peace. After his wife's death, he also saw through everything and decided to retire from the world of fame and fortune and rest in peace. Salute to this legend."

This is followed by Mrs. Tulling's epitaph:

"The best wife, the best elder, she and her husband had the longest and most loving companionship in the world."

After carving the epitaph, Zhou Ning placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone, took a last look at the densely packed tombstones, put his hat back on his head, and turned to leave.

On the way home, he spent nearly 120 victas on a series of travel items, including two black suits, a pair of glasses, two sweaters that might be useful in the Kingdom of Sifalik, and a suitcase.

Because the poles of the Apocalypse Continent are on the east and west sides, the temperature in the Kingdom of Sifarik, which is closer to the west, is relatively low, and sweaters and windbreakers are almost must-have items there.

After doing all this, Zhou Ning returned home to take a shower and change clothes. After packing his luggage, he also watched the professional league qualifiers the next day.

On the second day of the competition, the biggest favorite in the individual competition, the user of the Bird-Bird Fruit ability, made his debut with a wave of popularity, and played two rounds in a row. This veteran professional player did not disappoint his supporters. He flew in the sky throughout his debut and did not let his opponent, a thief, touch him from beginning to end. He jumped off the ring and admitted defeat when his health was only 40% left.

In addition to him, Super Blue Cat who sat in the commentary seat on the first day also competed. He was also a professional roaming gunner. If Zhou Ning remembered correctly, he should have bought a devil fruit from him, but unfortunately, the opponent he met today was too weak and could not force out his devil fruit ability.

In several other key matches, Qingbai Yejiu, who was also in charge of commentary on the first day, accidentally lost to a random player and unfortunately was eliminated in the first round. Zhou Ning was not surprised by this, after all, the player had retired for two years, so what happened to him?

XB, Shuidi Chenxing and Jinse all passed the level easily. Shuidi Chenxing completed a 27-second speedrun and quickly defeated a priest. His output after transforming into a jackal was too fierce, coupled with the high-level armament domineering, the opponent was killed by a wave of output before he could even raise his blood. After the game, he became the fourth most popular player after a wave of heat waves, Jinse and Alex.

In addition to the individual competition, two rounds of team competition were held today. Several well-known club teams, such as Deep Blue, Star Moon, Candy Super Sweet, etc., all passed easily. However, another popular team that attracted countless attention, the "Play for Fun" team composed of XB, Qingbai Yejiu, Haicheng and others, really played for fun and was eliminated in the second round. Qingbai Yejiu can now focus on commentating!

In terms of professional win rate, compared with the first day, the Wandering Gunner maintained the highest win rate of all professions: 66.9%, still beating all other professions.

This result is pretty good, and Zhou Ning is quite satisfied with it. It at least proves that the direction of his efforts is correct.

The next morning, Zhou Ning carried a heavy suitcase, left the house where he had lived for several months, and boarded a carriage heading to the northern port of the city.

Since all the players have been busy with the qualifiers in Darkland these days, Zhou Ning has no plans to let the players follow him to the Kingdom of Sifarik. Now his interests are already deeply intertwined with the Wandering Gunner players. Without him saying anything, when it is time to change to a Demon Hunter and learn skills, they will naturally follow him.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the port gate in the north of Dockland. Zhou Ning jumped off the carriage and saw Richie Burke, who was wearing an exaggerated businessman's coat and also carrying a suitcase, waving at him. Beside him stood the veiled craftsman Ignati Woods.

Zhou Ning adjusted his hat and walked over, then stopped and looked back at Darkland City:

"It's time to go."
