Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning understood. Red-Haired Robinson was indeed connected to both the Church of Poseidon and the military. This was likely another case of a pirate being recruited ashore. He was using his identity as a ferry captain to monitor the entire route.

Like the bounty order, this is also a way for the Church of Poseidon and the three coastal countries to maintain maritime rights and combat pirates.

As for why they spared the lives of Spike the Hurricane and Steinbeck the Sea Serpent, it was firstly because living pirates were more valuable, as the church could obtain more information about the Northern Pirates from them. Secondly, they were not likely to cause much trouble. As a former great pirate, Red-Haired Robinson was quite powerful. If he couldn't even keep these two half-dead men at bay, he wouldn't be worthy of being captain.

After killing Gallagher, the Wind General, the bad luck brought by the Lucky Clover continued for more than an hour, including a constant headwind, a leaking boat bottom, and a storm. In short, it was all thunder and no rain. If Gallagher had not posed a great threat to him, Zhou Ning would have thought it was deliberately sending him warmth this time.

However, having said that, when the three hours were up, Zhou Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He made up his mind for the Nth time not to use it again because its side effects were too torturous.

Zhou Ning re-entered the cabin and returned to his room.

After entering the bathroom and taking care of himself with an idol-like demeanor, Zhou Ning took off his coat and hat that were wet by the storm and hung them on the hanger. He first opened the control panel and checked the escort mission he had just completed.

[[Protecting the Wings of Liberty] Completed]

[Western Continent Popularity +5]

[New regional reputation opened!]

[Location: Western Continent]

[Legendary Level: 8]

[Regional visibility: 5]

[Level: Famous.]

[Do you want to receive the reward?]

Zhou Ning wasn't surprised by the opening of regional reputation. The Western Continent and the Eastern Continent are two distinct regions, each with its own independent reputation. Reputation unlocks only when players reach other continents. Players traverse different continents, accumulating regional reputation through various means. Regional reputation is tied to a player's initial reputation with the local faction. The higher the regional reputation, the higher the initial reputation.

In addition, when the regional popularity reaches 10, it will be converted into a point of legendary status. This is the most stable way to obtain legendary status besides participating in major events related to the version.

At the same time, it is very difficult to obtain regional fame. If I hadn't killed the Wind General Galaha this time, I probably wouldn't have gotten 5 points of regional fame at once, which is equivalent to directly giving 1/2 of the legendary degree.

After choosing to receive the mission reward, the panel prompted again:

[You completed the B-rank mission: Protect the Wings of Liberty. You gained 178500 experience points and received a random reward*1.]

[Extraction in progress...Extraction completed]

[Please select one of the three rewards below.]

[1. Hidden template random card *1.]

[2. Extract one ability (skill/feat) of Wind General Galaha]

[3. Spider Sense (Fashion) *1.]

At this moment, Zhou Ning almost suspected that he had opened the lucky clover again. This time the reward was a rare three-choice option.

However, it is obvious that the third option can be ruled out first. After owning the Alchemical Armor and the Batman suit, he does not have an urgent need for the Spider-Man suit. What's more, the red and blue color scheme of Spider-Man is too flashy, and Zhou Ning still cannot control it.

As for the first two options... the second option should be okay, but it is a bit immoral. Not only does it kill people, but it also destroys their hearts, and even fleeces the dead.

As for the first option... Zhou Ning took a look and found that it allowed him to be forced to randomly travel to a "transcendent" template in the simulation, such as the Seven Seas Overlord, the Lich King Clown, the White Emperor, the Traveler, the First Emperor, and the newly-launched Beyond Heaven.

These templates were incredibly powerful, and any one he randomly picked was equivalent to clearing the game. But Zhou Ning considered it and opted for the second option. Even if it was unethical, it was unethical. Using the hidden templates to clear the game was simply luck. As a near-demigod-level super-class professional, Gallagher must have some incredible skills or legendary expertise.

[You chose option 2: Draw one ability (skill/feat) of Wind General Galahall]

[Note: Gallagher's profession is Shaman/Reader. Some of the skills that can be extracted have their effects automatically adjusted according to your profession.]

[Please choose one of the following five abilities as a reward:]

[1. [Spider Transformation] - Skill: When your health drops below 40%, you can use the Spider Transformation skill. All attributes increase by 50%, Wind affinity increases by 33%, and Sanity decreases by 20%. You will gain a new set of skills. Your Strength/Concentration decreases by 0.5% per second. Once your Strength/Concentration reaches zero, the Spider Transformation state ends.]

[2. [Wind Summoning] - Skill: Summons two colliding hurricanes, merging them into a tornado. There is a chance that all nearby enemies will be drawn into the tornado, causing them to be cut, lose weight, or become confused. The chance depends on the Spirit attribute and the external environment. Cooldown time is 35 seconds.]

[3. [Gale Wall] - This skill creates a wall of wind that lasts for 5 seconds, blocking enemy projectiles and increasing your defense. Maintaining the wall requires continuous focus. When the damage taken exceeds a critical point, the wall shatters, dealing wind blade damage to surrounding enemies. The wall can also be released, blowing away all enemies in its path. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]

[4.【Wind Blade】-Skill, forms several wind blades to lock onto the target and cause a large amount of cutting damage. The damage value depends on the spiritual attribute and the external environment.]

[5. [Power of Wind] - Expertise: Your affinity for wind elements is enhanced to a certain extent, and all your skills can have a slight wind-related knockback effect.]

All of the rewards Zhou Ning had seen Galahaer use before had impressed him deeply. Of course, the rewards he received were also adjusted. After all, he couldn't learn the skills of a shaman, resonate with the elements, or become a follower of the Dark Spider Mother, Martalita, like Galahaer.

Fortunately, the rewards this time seem to be pretty good and are very suitable for me.

Except for the first skill [Spider Transformation] which cannot be selected, this skill is not only too ugly in appearance and conflicts with the character of his idol, but is also closely related to the Dark Spider Mother, making it the least cost-effective.

Among the other three skills, Zhou Ning's favorite is the second skill, which is both offensive and defensive, and can be regarded as a magical skill. Moreover, when he saw Galaher using it, it was an instant skill. The only regret was that the cooling time was too long.

The other two skills are quite effective and can enrich your attack methods. However, since you will definitely use firearms the vast majority of the time, the usage rate of these two skills will definitely not be high.

The last specialty: [Power of Wind] should be the best choice in Zhou Ning's opinion. Although the specialty level is not displayed, judging from the description, it should be a BOSS-level specialty or above. Specialties that can add to the effects of all skills are usually very rare and are undoubtedly worth choosing.
