Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Amidst the players' admiring and awed gazes, Zhou Ning walked towards the Arena of Glory ahead.

In the first professional league of Apocalypse in his previous life, Alex won the individual championship, and the best domestic finisher was Yan Wuye's fifth place. In the team competition, the British Cross Club took first place, the French Nirvana took second place, and Xingyue came in fourth. Zhou Ning was also curious about the butterfly effect his appearance had brought, and what kind of changes would occur in China's performance this year.

Just like in his previous life, the competition took place in a public dungeon. Zhou Ning entered the arena, and the scene instantly shifted, revealing him in a packed stands. The layout was quite modern, with a large screen for replaying highlights. The viewing experience was also quite interesting: you could watch the action with your naked eyes or switch to a bird's-eye view, zooming in and out at will.

Surrounding him were players from all over the world. Looking around, players in various outfits were teleported in, and the huge stands were instantly filled.

They were initially surprised, looking at each other. When they saw Zhou Ning, their faces lit up with ecstasy. They had already seen the protagonist outside and agreed that this was an official Easter egg plot, allowing the protagonist and the players to watch the battle together. They just didn't expect such good luck that the protagonist and they were actually teleported together.

Some brave players approached cautiously, trying to trigger possible Easter egg tasks, and some used the ancient breakfast flow, but after asking "Are you hungry?", they were deducted 5 points of favorability and immediately gave up.

With the lessons learned from the past, although some players were reluctant to get close, some smart players immediately took photos, screenshots, and gave each other hearts from a distance.

This scene also appeared in the TV station's broadcast video. The camera gave Zhou Ning a close-up, and his image also appeared on the big screen, triggering cheers and applause from the audience. The atmosphere was extremely warm, comparable to a carnival.

Three minutes later, the hosts Hua Kai Cheng Hai, XB, and two familiar foreign hosts were also teleported to the center of the arena, attracting everyone's attention.

They first gave their usual opening remarks, congratulating all the contestants for reaching the World Finals and wishing them good results. After several hosts finished their speeches, they loudly announced:

"The first Apocalypse Professional League World Finals has officially begun!"

"This finals has gathered top players and professional gamers from every region of the Apocalypse Continent. A total of 10 teams and individuals from 36 regions will compete in the Falik Glory Arena to determine the final champion."

"They will be divided into two groups, A and B, and will compete in a round-robin format within each group. The top sixteen teams and the top sixteen individual players will advance to the finals."

"Now, please invite the players from each team to enter."

Amidst the thunderous cheers, a white curtain of light descended from the sky in the center of the arena.

The first person to be teleported over was the tournament's top favorite, Alex, the star player of Nirvana Club. At the same time, his ID and club were projected as a holographic image above his head.

He calmly waved to the audience. Seconds later, four beams of light descended from behind him. They were his four teammates from the Nirvana Club. They struck poses similar to those of the Ginyu Force, triggering cheers.

Ten seconds later, another white curtain of light descended. Within it lay the second-seeded player, Shuidi Chenxing. Behind him stood the entire Xingyue team. Then came the third-seeded player, Jinse, and the entire Deep Blue Club team. Then came the American Lions Club, the Canadian Panthers Club, the British Cross Club, and so on—all world-renowned powerhouses. Like the five members of Nirvana Club, they each struck bizarre poses, froze for a moment, and then, all in a flash of light, flew away, drawing exclamations and applause.

In the atmosphere of a volcanic eruption, the star contestants entered and left the stage one by one in such an unexpected way, which ignited the atmosphere and brought the cheers to a climax.

After a rather cheerful entrance ceremony, the four hosts returned to the stage. They explained today's schedule one after another, then pointed to the center stage in the arena.

"Now, let's bring you the opening match of the World Finals, which is also the most eye-catching matchup of this round of individual competition: the roaming gunslinger Shuidi Chenxing, who is ranked tenth on the Forbes domestic rankings but the second-seeded player in the World Finals, faces the fifth-seeded player, the knight god Zi Yasser of the Cross Club!"

After entering the World Finals, the map in the arena was also presented in the form of a random copy. This time, the random map that both sides received made the players who supported Underwater Sinking Star sweat. It was a relatively vast ice terrain with meteorological tides, and the weather would change every three minutes.

This situation is very beneficial for knights who are good at pursuit and have strong survivability.

A faint light flashed, and Shuidi Chenxing, who was wearing a black windbreaker, and Zi Arthur, who was wearing silver-white heavy armor, were teleported to the map at the same time.

These two players are in Group A, which is considered to be a group with fierce competition. In addition to these two, Alex, a large wave of heat waves, Yan Wuye, and another foreign god Apophis are all in this group. There are almost no weak players, and the outcome of every game is very important.

After a brief introduction, the game is about to begin.

During the 30-second countdown, Shenxing underwater quickly put on the Phoenix battle suit and transformed into a jackal, while Zi Arthur planted a flag on the ground and kept a distance at a leisurely pace.

This flag is the knight's skill, the Holy Flag of the Earth Temple, which can increase his health and defense for a certain period of time.

The commentary desk appeared on the big screen at the scene. The commentators for this episode were several players from Group B who did not compete today. Zhou Ning knew Brother Tangshan and Yueliang Xingchen from the Xingyue Club.

"The two sides' professions are the Wandering Gunner and the Knight, and the level difference is not big. Underwater Sinking Star is level 49, and Purple Arthur is level 48. This level is not enough to cause a qualitative change. Which side do you think will win?"

"Purple Arthur, this map is too bad, and the underwater sinking star is not easy to fight."

"Underwater Sunken Star wins."

"My boss will definitely win. He has all the gear he needs, and his money is unmatched!"

Zhou Ning smiled. Map counter? How much does this mean he looks down on the Wandering Gunner? Normally, on this map, the two classes would have a 50-50 chance of winning. He was very optimistic about the Underwater Sinking Star.

"five four three two one!"

As soon as the countdown ended, Zi Arthur summoned his warhorse and started charging. In a flash, he rushed to Chen Xing under the water, launched a judgment on him, and took the initiative.

A holy seal was cast, and Shuidi Shenxing was immediately affected by a negative effect of 50% slowdown, but Shuidi Shenxing did not hide. The black muzzle of the Justice pointed at Purple Arthur. There was a flash of fire, and a close-range evasive shot was launched.

boom!

The recoil caused by avoiding the shooting made Shuidi Shenxing retreat violently, immediately moving away for a distance. At the same time, his arm shot out a grappling hook, which hooked onto a big tree in the distance and pulled him away.

In mid-air, he performed a honeycomb shooting. With a burst of gunfire, a series of bullets poured towards Purple Arthur. The bullets hit his shield and created dense sparks, enveloping him in flames.

However, Purple Arthur did not suffer serious injuries, his blood volume was only reduced by about 15%. On the contrary, he rushed out of the flames on his horse, jumped high on his horse, stretched out his lance, and stabbed at the underwater sinking star in mid-air.

Honeycomb Shooting is almost the most powerful output skill of the Wandering Gunner at this stage. The reason why Purple Arthur's Knight can basically ignore this damage is because he has given up one of the Knight's damage reduction skills.

Knight level 45 skill: Iron Skin.

This skill lasts for 4 seconds and has a cooldown of 30 seconds. During these 4 seconds, you will gain dominance and a shield that absorbs (475*level) damage.

As a leading knight player, Zi Arthur invested four levels in this skill, reaching the expert level. Coupled with the blessing of the Holy Flag of the Earth Temple, it just happened to resist the output of the underwater sinking star.

Because he always believed that the knight's belief is to move forward.

The skills of Shuidi Shenxing were always just average. He was too greedy for output and was stabbed in the air, falling into stiffness. At this time, Zi Arthur had already galloped over and launched an attack on Shuidi Shenxing.

One damage reduction, one charge, and another stab, the three skills are connected very tightly. Purple Arthur is worthy of being the number one knight god. There is no unnecessary pause in the three skills.
