Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

As a professional gamer, XB has been paying close attention to "Apocalypse", a game that can be called the second world, since its release. Not only did he become popular in the forum with a professional review post, but he also got the closed beta qualification limited to 200 units worldwide with his good luck.

The game did not disappoint him. When he entered the game world through the official gaming equipment, he was shocked by the extremely real experience.

It feels like you are really on the streets of medieval Europe, with an engineering shop behind you and a busy vegetable market nearby. The air is filled with the smell of fish, and hawkers passing by from time to time.

A few steps away is the bustling city street. The crowd moves forward slowly like an ant colony. Although it is raining, the visibility is quite high. Even the facial contours of the three heroic statues over 20 meters high in the distance are clearly visible.

What surprised XB the most was that, just like the scene in the trailer, the other side of the street was now covered in heavy snow, separated from the drizzle a few steps away by a black and white dividing line, a spectacular sight. It was completely different from the textured scenery in other virtual online games.

When did Blue Star's technology develop to this point? Wait, am I traveling through time?

XB suddenly remembered something and nervously reached down to feel around...

Phew, fortunately, the little animal is still there.

If you pinch it again, the little animal will still feel pain! That's awesome!

I just don't know if it can be used. I heard there is a red light district in the game. If I have money, I must go and see it.

Seeing a man with his hand in his crotch, talking to himself, passersby were horrified and quickly moved away.

XB's face turned red, and he shamelessly took out his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Tsk, it stinks.

It smells exactly like what I usually smell. It's so damn real. I'm so blown away!

Then, following the beginner's guide when creating a new character, I called up the panel.

Name: XB

Race: human

Age: 24

Rating: 1

Occupation: Engineer Apprentice

Natural Force Affinity: 42

Arcane Affinity: 25

Talent: None

个人属性：力量12、敏捷9、体力10、意志12、精神12、魅力45

Life: 10

Willpower: 12/12

Mana: 0

Skills: None

Personal expertise: None

Clan motto: None

Influence: None

Legend: 0

The panel attributes are very good. Not only does he have an engineer apprentice profession from the beginning, but his natural affinity has also reached 42. XB feels that his career in the Apocalypse game has a bright future.

XB checked the official information before playing the game. After the player arrives, he will either be assigned to a few fixed novice starting points and start from scratch, or start randomly, including the occupation and original identity are all random.

It seems I'm the latter. With a natural affinity of 42, I should be pretty good at playing a Warrior, according to the official information. However, the ambitious XB shrugged it off: "What's so cool about Warriors? I wouldn't even play them. If I want to play, I'll play Gunners!"

XB clenched his fists, looking ambitious.

"This closed beta test only lasts three days. During these three days, I have to devote all my energy to exploring the various quests in this world, gaining enough experience, and striving to cling to my husband, bah, to Wayne Stewell's thigh. The official propaganda claims that this is a breathing world, and the gains gained during the closed beta will not be reset in the public beta test, and the NPC's memory and favorability of you will be completely preserved. But games are just games, and they can't breathe, really..."

XB complained in his heart, full of confidence. Just as he was about to embark on his journey, a roar came from the engineering shop behind him...

"Fuck you! If you still want a salary, then get in here and start working! I don't want idle people in my engineering shop!"

"Hey, here I come!" XB responded reflexively and walked hurriedly into the store.

A few hours later, XB finally got off work and looked at the money he had earned and the level of engineer apprenticeship that had been promoted to level 3. He felt aggrieved and sighed:

This game... is so fucking fun!

the same day.

The entire world of Apocalypse is in chaos. Many places are filled with refugees without identities, who don't seem like normal people.

Some people flirted with women in the street, some talked to themselves in the air, and some even took off their pants in the street...

Of course, there are not many such stupid players. In other countries, other cities, or novice settlements in the world of "Apocalypse", more players who come here upgrade honestly like XB.

These players either inherited the identity of NPCs or gathered in groups at novice settlements, running around according to their own preferences and completing tasks enthusiastically.

The start of this game is extremely varied, immersive, challenging and interesting. The completely real game world makes players addicted to it unknowingly.

……

At the same time, Zhou Ning also lay on his bed and continued to peek at the posts on the forum.

The "Apocalypse" forum is very lively.

The closed beta test of the game has been underway for almost 10 hours, and many game-related posts have appeared on the forum, most of which are of little value.

However, all players have experienced the true charm of the "Apocalypse" game.

That is the truth.

This is a completely real world. Players can feel the realism in every aspect, which is something other games don't have.

[Does anyone feel like leveling is too slow like me? It took me 10 hours to reach level 3!]

This game is really addictive. I originally planned to log off at 10 o'clock, but before I knew it, I was playing until late at night. I feel like I'm almost a masochist. While being scolded by the NPCs, I feel secretly happy.

[Don't you find this game very similar to the real world? I talked to many NPCs and found that each of them has their own background experience. Wow.]

After browsing the forum for a while, Zhou Ning saw an interesting post.

The poster was named XB, an old acquaintance of mine and a celebrity on the forum. The post was short and, like his personality, full of arrogance.

"Hello everyone, today is the first day of the closed beta test. I was born on the streets of Docklands, not far from the protagonist of the game, Wayne Stewell. I have a stable job and a way to gain experience since I was born. I have now reached level 4.

The realism of this game is simply shocking. Take my boss in the game for example. He was an old man and couldn't be defeated with his hands and feet, so I was scolded by him for the whole afternoon, but he didn't repeat a single line at all. What the hell.

I even doubted that he was real.

Hahaha, I plan to go to Wick University tomorrow morning to get close to the protagonist and see if I can trigger any tasks.

By the way, I'm looking for other friends who were born in Docklands and we can team up and go there tomorrow."

Zhou Ning couldn't help but laugh. After all this time, the person closest to him was actually this guy.

Below XB's post.

Quite a few people have replied by now.

"XB, get lost! Go back to playing professionally! Not only did you get a spot in the closed beta test, but you also got a great spawn position. Can you please stop provoking us?"

"Born in Ruins, passing by with tears."

"I'm even worse off. I was born in Mortel, in the north of the continent. It takes more than half a month to travel to the Kingdom of Bryston."

"After XB meets Wayne, can you start a live broadcast to satisfy those of us who can't enter the game?"

Then came XB’s own reply: “Dear viewers, rest assured, the live broadcast room has been opened. The room number is: XXXXX.”

After watching the exchanges between these stupid players on the forum, Zhou Ning had an idea in his mind.

There shouldn't be many people in Dockland, so it definitely won't cause any trouble, but there shouldn't be much profit either. I just need to complete my missions normally.

But there is one more thing, if XB really starts a live broadcast, it will be his chance to attract another wave of fans...

……

The next morning, Zhou Ning got up early.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face, picked out the most decent-looking set of white shirt, black vest and black jacket, and even tied a bow tie, which was a rare occasion.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhou Ning felt that he looked even more handsome and scholarly than before.

When I walked out of the room, John had already gotten up and was sitting in a chair in formal attire, teasing Polly.

Zhou Ning wasn't surprised that he got up so early. Today was the day for freshmen to register, and as a self-proclaimed playboy, he naturally had to join in the fun and see if there were any pretty schoolmates - in fact, most boys had this idea.

Seeing Zhou Ning, he couldn't help but whistle: "Very handsome!"

"Thank you." Zhou Ning put on his black half-top hat and said with a smile.

The two of them walked down the stairs together and slowly walked towards the school gate.

It's only 7 o'clock in the morning, but the atmosphere is different from yesterday. If yesterday was a warm-up, today is already a festive atmosphere.

A welcoming banner was hung at the school gate, and the welcoming points of each department had been set up. There were long queues in front of many tables, and many students were walking around distributing flyers and other things.

Zhou Ning glanced around and first spotted Cherry. This girl was tall and had a curvy figure, making her very conspicuous in the crowd. Then he found Ian, who was actually quite difficult to recognize. Compared to yesterday, he was wearing a wig today, which just covered up his receding hairline.

At this time, they were wearing the student uniforms of Wick University and were actually sitting in the position responsible for recruiting new students in the Alchemy Department.

Really brave enough.

John muttered to Zhou Ning with some confusion: "Is this beauty from the alchemy department? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"Since he's sitting there, that must be the case." Zhou Ning pulled the corner of his mouth and answered helplessly.

Because he knew John's next sentence would definitely be "Let's go and take a look."

really.

"Come on, let's go take a look." John pulled Zhou Ning and squeezed over there.

After meeting Cherry's eyes, Zhou Ning smiled and nodded at her, then followed John over. Polly was not there at this time, and the two seats next to Cherry were empty. John sat directly next to Cherry and started chatting her up.

Cherry was a little surprised, but she had a task to do, so she had to greet the new students while chatting with John.

What's worse is that Cherry didn't notice that John's son was bored and was crawling around under the table. Finally, he raised his foot and urinated on the corner of her skirt.

Zhou Ning: ...

I looked up at the sky silently. Is it really just marking the vehicle?

Finally, he didn't have the heart to remind her, nor did he sit down with John. Instead, he stood and looked around.

At this time, more and more freshmen have reported. According to convention, the programs of various departments will begin at around 9 o'clock.

According to Sherlock, the diameter of the alchemical bomb would definitely not be small. Zhou Ning scanned the area but did not find any suspects. Instead, he saw a familiar figure with a sneaky look in the distance, with an ID card on his head.

Zhou Ning blinked in surprise. Isn't this XB?
