Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The night was dark, the fog was thick, and the moon cast a deep light among the thick fog. A ghost ship seemed to have sailed out from the underworld, and the waves gently slapped the black side of the ship. The computer captured the scene at this moment with a heavy oil painting feeling, and even every frame could be used as a wallpaper. The figure in black combat uniform gliding down in the air stared silently for a moment with the tall figure standing on the top of the four-story ship below. The decks of the other three floors were filled with vicious northern pirates, and four huge Lavidus were dancing wildly below. The atmosphere was suffocating.

The computer even thoughtfully noted key figures. The man at the top had a clear caption above his head: "Pirate King, Saroyan, King of Lavidus," with a bounty of 20 Victar. Flanking him stood his first mate, "Broken Bones" Norris, and his boatswain, "Shadow" White. Both were high-ranking pirates with bounties of 3 and 2, respectively, and both were capable of leading their own pirate bands.

In contrast, Zhou Ning, rapidly falling through the air, seemed disproportionate to the four Lavidus below him. His small body and the massive, tangled serpentine bodies formed a striking contrast, creating a powerful image. However, his gaze remained calm and composed.

The next moment, Saroyan opened his palms on the side of the ship below, and sparks exploded in the air. The camera angle suddenly changed to a close-up of Zhou Ning. All players could clearly see that a white and gold evil spirit suddenly appeared behind him!

Wayne Sternwell's executioner rifle fired at this moment.

Many players were drinking water when they suddenly spit it out. What the hell? Did the ghost behind them appear?

The optical computer also marked a line of subtitles above the evil spirit's head:

[Platinum Star: A unique ability from Wayne Stewell, a condensed image of spiritual energy that is invisible to ordinary people. The specific effects are unknown and await player discovery and development.]

The barrage of comments paused for a moment, then suddenly exploded, with shock spreading everywhere.

"Wow, how come the protagonist gets a new ability every once in a while? Mom, I want to learn this!"

"Don't think about it. Don't you see that it's unique? But maybe you can think about other kinds of special abilities."

"This is the growing protagonist! New abilities that even the optical brain doesn't know about!"

Under the players' nervous gaze, the platinum-colored evil spirit hovered in front of Zhou Ning, arms crossed. In an instant, a barrier composed entirely of mist formed in front of him, muffling the bursting electrical sparks. Zhou Ning's figure plummeted like a meteor, hurtling downward, his jagged cape rising high behind him.

The camera quickly switched to the bottom of the Silence below. Several Northern sailors untied several thick iron chains. As soon as the four behemoths in the sea broke free from their restraints, they launched a frenzied attack on Zhou Ning in the air, tearing apart the afterimage he left behind.

It was as if there was a rather strange freeze frame, the half moon was still quietly hanging in the mist, and Zhou Ning, wearing a black battle suit, suddenly appeared on the other side, and the platinum evil spirit also appeared beside him like a shadow. Thick fog extended around his body. At his side, the six heads of the two Lavides had been tied into a knot by him without knowing when.

Question marks and exclamation marks flashed across the screen. At this time, many people started to replay the video, and even replayed it at several times the speed, but they could not make out how the protagonist made the move. They could only put aside their doubts for the time being and continue watching.

Immediately afterwards, players can see the remaining two Lavidus open their bloody mouths, spewing venom and ice storms crazily towards Zhou Ning, completely covering the area where he is. Under the editing of the optical computer, the sense of substitution is full, and there is a feeling that there is no escape.

But almost at the same time, the players saw Zhou Ning continue to bounce into the air, almost dodging the venom spitting of the two Lavides in a close dance. The process was like an ant provoking an elephant, which made them sweat.

Then, amid the roaring wind, the night seemed to freeze for a moment. In the thick fog that connected into one piece, the players saw two Lavidus roaring in pain and falling heavily. The huge four-story ship Silence collapsed suddenly, forming a clear concave shape downwards.

Inside the Silence, there were scattered lights and shadows, rooms, flying wood chips, exclamations from all directions, and the camera locked on the two Lavidus sinking continuously—three floors, two floors, one floor! Then there was the sound of the bottom of the ship breaking, and in an instant the entire Silence broke through, breaking in the water in a figure eight shape. A huge whirlpool followed in the sea, and it sank rapidly.

At this time, the serrated cloak on Wayne Stewell's back turned into huge bat wings, floating in the air, while Star Platinum quietly floated behind him, looking at the sea together, until the Silence sank to the bottom of the sea and the sea returned to calm.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, as if he was not facing a pirate king worth 20, but completing an ordinary hunt.

At the same time, a line of subtitles popped up behind him:

“Because we can afford it, we must move forward.”

Then the scene switched again. After sinking into the water, Saroyan used some unknown magic object to transform into a dolphin and escaped, while the middle-aged pirate on another ship came to a newspaper in Temple Port to provide a piece of news.

"Batman single-handedly defeated Saroyan, the King of Lavidus. The suggested bounty is 225000 Vectars."

A bounty order appeared below, and Batman was squatting on the bow of the Black Pearl!

After watching this scene, players were filled with excitement and passion. The barrage of comments like "Because we can bear it, we must move forward" filled the screen, looking very powerful.

After the Docklands tragedy, Wayne Stewell became known to players as a hero who bravely fought against evil gods to save the world. His recent actions against King Lavidus were undoubtedly motivated by the news of his brutality. Many players' understanding of Wayne Stewell has become more vivid; this is what a true protagonist should be!

But Zhou Ning just wanted to cover his face at this moment. The optical brain was really too childish. It was so awkward that he even clenched his big toes. It was really just a coincidence that he met the King of Lavidus. His original intention was just to hunt super-class creatures to complete his job change.

After playing this battle, the progress bar has only reached 1/3.

At this time, the players' interest was completely aroused and they were full of curiosity about the story that followed.

In the following period of time, a lot of things actually happened, but the optical brain collected the originally somewhat redundant information together, making it messy but not chaotic. While the plot was progressing, a branch line was inserted in an orderly manner, telling the story of the fat nobleman "Pluton".

Just as Zhou Ning expected, he was a diplomat of the Kingdom of Sifalik to the Kingdom of Braxton, a fallen nobleman.

According to Cardinal Kelson of the Church of War at the beginning of this episode, he, like some nobles, was suggested and hypnotized by the priest of the Ascetic Order, Fred, who died at his hands. He blamed the decline of his family on Angus Motley, regarded it as a blood feud, and began to plan an assassination on Telderon Island.

Then, the scene shifted to a hotel on Telderon Island, where a beautiful, mature lady sat at a desk, opening the book in her hand.
