Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[Literary Life (IV)]: You've always harbored a literary dream. After accumulating a wealth of literary knowledge, write at least one bestseller in both the real world and the simulated world. (Current progress: 2/2)

Mission Tip: Read thousands of books and write like a god. This is the fourth step in a long journey. Come on! Future great writers!

Mission reward: unknown reward x1, 1200 million experience (dynamic).

Zhou Ning had sacrificed countless brain cells for this mission, and now he finally had the moment of harvest.

Click to receive the reward, and the game panel pops up a prompt again:

[You received an unknown reward and gained a new secondary profession: Reader.]

[Similar career branches have been discovered.]

[Your secondary class, Linguist, has been changed to a hidden secondary class: Reader. Your current level is 7/30.]

[This class's level cannot be increased through experience points. Leveling progress can only be gained through a "small amount" of reading and writing.]

[You gain attribute compensation of Spirit +7 and Will +7. ]

【You have learned a new specialty: Immersion. 】

[You have learned a new passive skill: Language Proficiency.]

[Immersion (Elite Expertise): You will be extremely immersed in reading and learning (skill proficiency improvement), without distraction, and your reading and learning efficiency will increase by 25%.]

[Language Proficiency: Allows you to roughly guess the language of most documents based on the font size and complete the interpretation. The success rate of interpretation is related to the reader's level.]

Following a series of prompts that flashed across the screen, Zhou Ning saw that the Linguist sub-profession on his panel had disappeared, and was replaced by a Reader sub-profession, along with a new skill and a new expertise.

Although the new expertise is only elite-level and does not provide any improvement in combat, its attributes of improving reading and learning efficiency are undoubtedly in line with one's own clan precepts, and is even more powerful than some legendary expertise.

As for the skill "Language Comprehend"...it's just average, but it suits me well. If I'm guessing correctly, the portable grandmother, Jasmine, must be a reader who has mastered the skill "Language Comprehend." Looking at the skill description, it's no wonder she always has to guess when interpreting text.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of destiny. He'd previously thought that deciphering the Temple Kingdom's treasure map required an experienced reader to "dive" and take the risk, but now, having just completed a task, he was already a reader.

What a coincidence! It really is such a coincidence.

Although I don’t know why I haven’t seen the skill of “Infiltration” yet, I believe that as the reader’s level gradually increases, I will learn this ability sooner or later.

However, this presented a problem: the current level cap for super-class professionals was 90, and he had already reached level 78. If he wasn't careful, he'd get stuck. This also made his desire to become a demigod extremely urgent.

This is pressure, but also motivation.

Similarly, after completing this series of tasks, the task entered the next stage again.

Hidden task: (can be triggered under special circumstances).

Literary Life (V): You've always harbored a literary dream. After accumulating a wealth of literary knowledge, write at least three bestsellers in both the real world and the simulated world. (Current progress: 1/3)

[Task Tip: Read thousands of books and write like a god. This is the fifth step in a long journey. Come on! Future great writers.]

Zhou Ning was already numb to this kind of task. Not only did he have to write three books himself, but he also had to juggle simulation with reality. What else could he say? He could only take his time.

Before they knew it, the carriage had arrived at the western suburbs of Nathaniel. After traveling for a distance, they saw a small port that was a bit shabby compared to the city of Nathaniel.

We have arrived at Bantuan Port.

"Let's stop here." When they reached a three-way fork in the road, Ignatius Woods stopped the carriage and jumped out with the heavy suitcase.

He stood at the fork in the road, glanced around cautiously, and pointed to a small path leading to the west: "Go this way."

Zhou Ning understood what he meant, smiled lightly, and walked towards the path with an umbrella.

It was late at night, the rain still lingering, and the roads were quite muddy. About 10 minutes later, Zhou Ning saw a white, three-story building, its lights off, shrouded in shadow.

Ignatius Woods took out a box of matches, lit the torch in his hand under the cover of his robe, and waved it three times in succession to signal the three-story building.

But the strange thing was that although the torches were lit, the light was dim and hazy, only visible in front of the eyes, as if it was obscured by something.

This……

According to his observation Haki, there should be three hostile targets lurking in this area. Two of them are about the same strength as his on paper, and one is close to being a demigod. As long as he is careful, there should be no major danger.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath, and suddenly a pair of silver and black gloves appeared on his right hand. He clenched his fist tightly.

Beowulf!

At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Zhou Ning's mind. A bullet was shot out from the darkness and penetrated Ignatius Woods' head. He responded without hesitation. In an instant, the raindrops in front of Ignatius Woods began to move backwards and condensed into a wall of rain, blocking Ignatius Woods.

Almost at the same time, a bullet came silently and hit the rain wall, shattering it, but the continuous rain curtain quickly filled the gap.

Ignatius Woods couldn't help but gasp, and looked at Zhou Ning with gratitude. If he had been any later, his head would have exploded!

At this moment, the panel also issued a prompt:

[B-Rank Mission: Guardian II mission progress has been changed.]

[You gained 45 experience points, and Ignatius Woods's favorability increased by 30.]

[You triggered the urgent mission [Protect Ignatius Woods]]

[Mission Description: For some reason, the executioners from the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmanship have set their sights on Ignatius Woods, and you have become their incidental target. You can abandon him and leave on your own; no one can stop you. But you can also choose to protect him. Of course, protecting him will bring you rich rewards.]

[Mission requirements: Repel all attackers and protect Ignatius Woods]

[Rewards: 120 million experience points, 5000 Vekta, and a random piece of extraordinary equipment.]

Oh, 5000 Victar, the reward has increased again. Zhou Ning was very satisfied. It seemed that Ignatius Woods had a lot of money. Originally, it was just a mission to escort him to Bantuan Port, but now he had been squeezed out of it three times in a row, completing the feat of generating three consecutive profits.

The mission requires Ignatius Woods not to die, so he has to give it his all.

He suddenly raised his right arm, infusing Beowulf in his hand with spiritual energy. Suddenly, the entire glove was filled with brilliant holy light. The revolver "Retribution" appeared in his hand, he aimed at an open space, and pulled the trigger.

Then three gunshots rang out! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bullets, each emitting a brilliant holy light, instantly circled in a huge arc, enveloping the open space in a triangular pattern, striking three different locations.

The two enemies were clustered together, their figures suddenly revealed, their bodies ablaze with brilliant holy flames, and they screamed. On the other side, a hairless man in a black robe emerged from the void, his body then collapsing and sprawling on the ground, forming a humanoid figure on the other side.

This is an ability similar to a puppet stand.
