Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

On the other side, XB was bragging to his fans.

He didn't know that today was the orientation day at the University of Vic. After finally buying a Dockland map by working part-time and lighting up the entire Dockland city area, he chose to walk to the University of Vic early in the morning and started the live broadcast.

But I didn’t expect to see such a lively scene after arriving at the University of Wake Forest.

"My dear audience, it seems we're lucky to be on Wake University's orientation day. You've all seen the TV series 'Apocalypse', so maybe today is the day the Life Alchemy Society throws the alchemical bomb, or what the officials call a major event. If I accidentally die later, you'll have to give me some compensation."

"Hey, look at this girl! She's so pretty, with long legs and a beautiful figure. Her style is obviously different from the others. Let's go meet her and see if we can get some quests."

As he said that, XB quickly cast a reconnaissance spell over.

[Based on your level, you get the following information]

[Rosie Lily - Alchemy Department Sophomore]

[grade:? ]

[Attributes: Spirit 21, other?]

[Dangerous Level: Medium]

As expected, the style of the painting was different. XB's face flushed with excitement. He hurriedly followed Luo Xi. After finally walking shoulder to shoulder with her, he mustered up the courage to say, "Excuse me..."

Before he could even utter a word, he saw a line of words ruthlessly appear on the forehead of the NPC in front of him.

[Favorability-5]

XB: "???"

What did I do to me?

"2333, I guess the NPC thinks you're too ugly."

"She's truly the esports girl's worst enemy, her reputation is well-deserved."

"X baby, don't cry. Mommy still loves you. A mother will never dislike her child's ugliness."

"Male mom, get out of here!"

Faced with the sarcasm and ridicule from the stupid fans, XB was not discouraged. His eyes soon lit up again because he had caught a new target.

"This looks like the second female lead in the official trailer, Chrissy Bredenholzer. Let the ones who passed by pass by. This is the real golden thigh."

XB pretended to be a gentleman and walked over to stand in front of Chris Bredenholzer. He coughed dryly, but before he could speak, he saw another [Favorability -7] pop up above the NPC girl's head. She snorted at him and walked away.

"2333, the esports girl's troubles are confirmed."

"Xbao, stop crying and stand up."

XB: ?????

At this moment he himself was a little insecure. Am I really that ugly?

He doubted his life and opened the game panel to check his charm value. The charm value displayed was 39 (-6 for disheveled)

Charisma -6?

XB: …

Only then did he notice that because he had been in such a hurry to come online that morning, he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, and even the buttons on his clothes were not aligned.

I'm shocked. Is this game so meticulous in details?

He quickly dodged to the side and re-buttoned his shirt, frantically explaining, "Guys, this was just an accident. We were a bit rushed to get the live broadcast going as quickly as possible today... What the hell?"

From his current vantage point, he could just spot a familiar figure. Damn, so handsome! Isn't this the protagonist, Wayne Stewell? It's obvious that the artist paid special attention to him. Even a man like him thinks he's handsome.

XB quickly adjusted the live broadcast perspective to the first-person perspective: "Look who I found?!"

"What the hell?"

“Husband…”

"X Bao, go over and say hello and see if you can get close to him."

……

XB was so happy when he saw the number of followers increasing that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly spat, smeared it on his hair, fixed his hairstyle, and walked over there.

When he got close to the protagonist of the game, XB suddenly felt quite pressured. This appearance was quite lethal.

"Hello, husband. My name is XB. I am your idol. No, that's not right. You are my idol." Perhaps because of nervousness, XB accidentally slipped his tongue and spoke incoherently.

Zhou Ning was still thinking about how to contact XB, but he didn't expect the other party to come running over immediately, and then he was immediately shocked by XB's opening remarks.

Zhou Ning: ...

Brother, please be normal, I'm scared.

Zhou Ning noticed that a favorability button appeared next to XB's ID above his head. After clicking the button, a new prompt suddenly appeared on the panel - Favorability: 0.

Click on the favorability number again, and a bar with adjustable amplitude will appear. To the left is a decrease, and to the right is an increase. It is very clear at a glance.

[Do you want to adjust the player [XB]'s favorability?]

Zhou Ning decided to lower it temporarily to be safer. He clicked on the favorability bar and dragged it a small space to the left.

[Wayne Stewell's favorability towards you has decreased by 5 points and is currently cold.]

"Do not!!!"

XB was struck by lightning, his whole body was in a mess, and he wanted to slap himself. It's okay for other people's favorability, but this is the protagonist of the game! Who knows what will happen if it's too low?

Although he felt quite disgusted, XB was the only player who could currently contact him. Zhou Ning thought for a moment and asked, "I haven't seen you before. Are you a tourist here to watch the welcome celebration?"

"Yes, yes!" XB came back to his senses and nodded frantically, trying to save his image.

"Oh, can you help me?" Zhou Ning asked with a smile.

If we were in the real world, a normal person would roll their eyes if they made a request to a stranger, or even think they were being scammed.

However, players are not normal people at all.

Upon hearing this, XB's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded even more frantically: "Sure, sure! I'll help you with anything."

[Do you want to issue a task to player XB? ]

Zhou Ning took a deep breath. Now was the time to test the task system.

"Yes."

[Please set the mission level, mission requirements and mission rewards. The highest mission level is A and the lowest mission level is E.]

[The mission rewards can be set arbitrarily: whether it is money, items, experience, skills...]

[Currently, your daily experience pool reward limit is 20000, and the maximum single reward is 4000. It refreshes every hours.]

Click Edit Task and a complex task frame will pop up immediately. You can set the task type and task level on the left, the task name on the right, and the task description below.

There are many types of tasks, including ordinary tasks, random tasks, ring tasks, camp tasks, series tasks, etc.

I didn’t expect that being an NPC is not that easy. You may even need to be proficient in Excel.

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment, edited an E-level limited-time task, and published it, setting the time limit to 10 minutes.

"I'm a little busy here and don't have time to buy breakfast. Can you bring some over for me?"

"Okay, okay! I'll go right away." At the same time, XB also received the task.

[You have triggered the E-level mission: Breakfast. Do you accept? Yes/No?]

[Task Tip: Wayne Stewell is hungry and has asked you to buy him breakfast. Help him or just walk away? The choice is yours.]

[Mission Level: E]

[Task requirements: Buy a delicious breakfast]

[Reward: 800 experience points, 1 Roshen.]

Looking at the meager rewards, XB was a bit confused, but he also keenly realized that this might be his chance to regain favor, perhaps even a prerequisite for a larger mission! Although the rewards were truly meager, this was definitely a test for him!

Watching the 10-minute countdown begin, XB didn't dare to stop and rushed to the breakfast shop across the street, spending all his money on the most expensive breakfast in the shop. Then he ran all the way back.

"Your breakfast." XB handed the breakfast to Zhou Ning while panting, and at the same time received a notification that the task was completed.

"Thank you." Zhou Ning said with a smile, and then pulled the favorability bar slightly to the right.

……

[Wayne Stewell's favorability towards you has increased by 3 points, currently at indifferent.]

XB breathed a sigh of relief, his money finally recovered a little. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the NPC in front of him speak, and the content of the speech cheered him up.

"You're a good person. I need help now. Can I trust you?"

"Yes! Of course! I must!" XB patted his chest excitedly. I am indeed a professional player. Doesn't this trigger a series of tasks?

"Today, an attack on Vic University will occur at the orientation event. There should be four suspicious individuals carrying alchemical bombs. If you see any clues, do not act rashly and notify me immediately."

Zhou Ning began to edit the task box.

[You have triggered a D-Class mission: Terrorist Attack. Do you accept? Yes/No?]

[Mission Tip: Please assist the protagonist Wayne Stewell and the Day Watcher to find four suspicious individuals.]

[Mission Level: D]

[Task requirements: Resolve the crisis]

[Reward: 2000 experience points, and access to Wayne Stewell's personal shop.]

"Sure enough, hahaha, I, XB, am the chosen one!" XB's eyes turned red due to the stimulation of this task, and he was roaring in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be exposed to such a major event just after entering the game!

The moment they saw the task, the comments in the live broadcast room went crazy.

"Fuck, this idiot has such good luck, it's so unfair!"

"Get back to playing professionally right now! Why are you provoking us like this?"

"I told you Wayne Stewell is the protagonist, right? Look, the mission prompt says he's the protagonist, so it's confirmed now."

The complacent XB had already ignored the sour comments and accepted the task. His eyes were as big as bells and his ears were as erect as antennas, patrolling the scene for all suspicious people.

Looking at XB's back, Zhou Ning smiled softly. He didn't really care whether XB could find any clues. This contact was mainly to test the NPC's functionality and, incidentally, to motivate the players. The result made him very satisfied. He had already thought of countless plans to make money.

There should be quite a few people watching XB's live broadcast. XB will only stimulate others when he gets benefits. Isn't this also helping him cultivate new leeks?
