Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"Not bad, very attentive." Zhou Ning praised sincerely.

After being praised, Ignatius Woods smiled briefly, then turned serious again. Haha, his cold personality cannot be broken:

"This gun is called the Viper. While retaining its original properties, I've added obsidian and a small amount of arcanite. I'm confident that no weapon of the same tier can surpass it in terms of attack power. Besides its powerful attack power, it also possesses three additional abilities."

"First, after you infuse it with spiritual energy, this gun will enter a critical attack state that lasts for 8 seconds. In this state, every attack you make, regardless of where you hit the target, will be considered a weak spot strike. And if you hit a vital spot, such as the head or heart, you might even be able to kill an enemy with relatively weak defenses with one shot."

"The second is the Dragon Breath Bullet. Based on the first, if you infuse it with more than twice the spiritual energy, you can make fire or ice bullets produce a dragon breath effect, which can cause large-scale damage. However, this attack consumes too much spiritual energy, so it is not recommended for frequent use."

"Third, do you see the fang on the slider? I've modified it into a hammer. When you pull it, the barrel splits apart to become a spear. In this form, it can be used for both close combat and ranged attacks. Both melee attacks and ranged shots have the special effect of corroding armor."

"As for the bullets...given the special effects of this gun, I recommend you use ice and fire-type bullets."

This effect is very strong... It seems that "Retribution" can retire soon.

Zhou Ning picked it up gently. It was much heavier than he had imagined. As a firearms expert, he saw the design principle at a glance. It was equipped with a 5.31-inch barrel, which made the aiming baseline longer and the bullet flew faster. The magazine capacity was 21 rounds and it was equipped with a built-in compensator, so there was almost no recoil.

I really made a fortune this time. In a sense, this gun is a perfect combination of modern weapons technology and the extraordinary system of the apocalypse world. As long as the negative effects are not particularly abnormal, if I sell it and meet the right buyer, I can definitely sell it for a sky-high price.

After thinking about it... Zhou Ning asked thoughtfully:

"What about the negative effects? What are the negative effects?"

Ignatius Woods smiled and said, "Of course there are negative effects, but they're not very noticeable. Using this firearm amplifies your energy consumption by about 1.8 times its normal value. It's not suitable for sustained combat. If you're just carrying it, there's no problem; it will only occasionally make you careless."

"If you're not satisfied, I can recast it for free, but the materials can't be free."

Zhou Ning grabbed the gun without comment, infused it with spirituality, and pointed it at the test dummy placed beside him. Instantly, a thin layer of ice mist spit out from the muzzle, freezing the test dummy in place.

He then tested the gun's fatal attack and spear forms. The energy consumption was completely acceptable. Although there were two negative effects, they were nothing compared to its special effects... Zhou Ning nodded calmly and said,

"I am very satisfied."

He put the jet-black revolver into his inventory. He marked a high price on the original Nemesis and hung it in the guild shop, placing it in the most conspicuous position as a favorability trap.

……

Walking out of the shop, Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes, looked up at the setting sun, and put his hat back on his head.

If nothing unexpected happens, Smith Hall will come to see him at the latest in the evening.

The speech he gave to the players in the afternoon was not just for the players. He had already noticed that there was at least one Wings of Law team stalking nearby.

Even though he had achieved demigodhood, traveling to Hood Island was extremely dangerous. He was likely within Little Book's reach. His current known opponents included Valentine, the "Lord of Weather," General Thunder and Lightning, the Werewolf Lamp Spirit, the unknown entity behind the door, Little Book, and Karl Robbins. There was also the Church of Poseidon, whose stance was unknown, and the local forces of the Motley Islands. He might even be the enemy of the entire world.

To be on the safe side, he had to bring the War God Church into his side. However, he couldn't initiate such a collaboration himself, as it would likely be rejected. Therefore, Zhou Ning chose to "expose" some of the Star Organization's strength to the other party, forcing them to approach him. This was the correct way to achieve cooperation.

As expected, after walking a few steps, he saw Smith Hall, who was wearing a sky blue coat, waiting for him at the street corner not far away. After seeing Zhou Ning, he immediately walked over and asked in a deep voice:

"Mr. Sternwell, do you have time now? Patriarch Roger wants to talk to you."

"The Church of the God of War doesn't have priests. The Patriarch is equivalent to the Patriarch of other sects. I didn't expect to catch such a big fish this time. This also indirectly proves that the Church of the God of War is indeed anxious."

Zhou Ning pondered for a few seconds, glanced at the carriage with the "Wings of Law" emblem parked nearby, and said with a seemingly casual smile, "Time can be squeezed out. You lead the way."

Smith Hall breathed a sigh of relief and felt quite gratified. After all, the other party was a demigod, and the kind that could easily kill angels. If he didn't want to go, he really couldn't force him.

Zhou Ning followed Smith Hall into the carriage, which turned lightly and headed towards the second district in the center of the city.

The most authentic legal center of the Apocalypse Continent, the Second District has a world-famous Legal Avenue running from east to west. Along this road are the National Constitution Center, the Legislative Council, the Municipal Police Station, etc., and the atmosphere of strict law is everywhere.

Having been in Nathaniel for some time, Zhou Ning recalled a story he had heard about the Nathaniel Police Station. The police station in the Kingdom of Sifariq was established by a king over 1000 years ago. After the Sifariq Kingdom migrated westward, the first Sifariq King, Augustine XI, built the kingdom's first police station on Iron Cross Street in the sixth district. Over 60 years ago, a fire destroyed Iron Cross Street, leaving the police station nowhere to be relocated.

Augustine XII, the second Sephardic king, decided to build the police station in the 36th arrondissement, the downtown area, at Quai de Carne. This location, diagonally across from Zhou Ning's shop, was built on the site of Nathaniel's poultry market, and Nathaniel's police quickly earned the nickname "Chickens." Even after the police station moved to Legal Avenue, the municipal police station remained known as the Chicken Coop. Pronounced "Maltz" in the Sephardic language, it was also known as Maltz's Field.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the wide Law Square. Not far away, a magnificent spire church stood at the innermost part of the Law Square.

Zhou Ning understood clearly that this was the Church of Courage, the headquarters of the Church of the God of War in the Kingdom of Sifalik. There was a saying that the entire outer layer of the church was made of gold.

In his previous life, this place was a restricted area for players, so Zhou Ning had naturally never been here. When he heard about this, besides being amazed, he had only one thought - the people in the Church of the God of War are so stupid and rich!

Smith jumped off the carriage first and said to Zhou Ning as he walked forward, "Try not to have any evil thoughts in the Church of Courage, otherwise you may be attacked by legal provisions."
