Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him suddenly became agitated and started talking.

Few people who come here to trade can afford so many chips at once. Besides the relatively common firearms, Zhou Ning's chips include the irregular little stones, which are undoubtedly a remarkable unknown item. Not only are they effective in combat, some knowledgeable men are already smiling. Devil fruits are also a valuable item that has been rumored before, supposedly granting certain supernatural powers after consumption. They are extremely rare.

"Will you accept cash for this unknown item? The price is negotiable."

"Devil Fruit? Could it be the one that's been so popular on the Braxton black market lately?"

People kept asking questions all around.

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Ning's lips. He knew his own chips well, and any one of them was enough to attract most people here.

"I don't accept cash here for now. I can only accept exchanges of refined gold or unknown rare objects. We can discuss the details privately." Zhou Ning said calmly.

"Even large material stores may not have it in stock!"

"Someone from the North once auctioned off a batch of refined gold, but unfortunately I didn't buy any..."

Even the host Mura was shocked by this deal and looked Zhou Ning up and down with sharp eyes.

"How much gold do you want in exchange for the devil fruit?"

"I have fine gold!"

Suddenly, two voices sounded one after another.

The first one was the black-robed man who had just sold the "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles". Zhou Ning was sitting at the 5 o'clock position, and the second man was not far to his right, around the 7 o'clock position, wearing a funny monkey mask.

"I need about 1100 grams of refined gold in total," Zhou Ning said, looking at the black-robed man. Crafting items wasn't like in a game; sometimes, differences in technique would result in additional costs. To be on the safe side, he still had to prepare more materials.

The other party was not wearing a mask. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s with a thick mustache. Hearing this, he said:

"I only have 700 grams of fine gold, which I'd like to exchange for that unknown artifact. To balance the deal, I'm willing to add 4000 Victar cash."

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment. The ratio of refined gold to Viktar was about 1:15, which meant that 700 grams of refined gold was worth about 10500 Viktar. His unknown item should also be worth over , so the difference wasn't huge. Considering the rarity of refined gold, this price was quite reasonable.

"An additional 2000 Vectra and we'll have the deal."

The middle-aged man did not hesitate and nodded, "I agree."

Zhou Ning nodded slightly and looked at the other seller:

"My friend, I wonder if you are still interested in trading the refined gold you have?"

"Of course." The man in the monkey mask stood up and said, "I still have 300 grams of adamantium here, but... I want to exchange it for at least 4 devil fruits."

The price he sold his devil fruit to the Wings of Law was 1500 Vectas per fruit. He didn't mind the price, but his partners would probably have an opinion. Zhou Ning casually glanced at Smith Hall and shook his head, saying, "Three at most."

The other party hesitated for a moment, obviously a little unwilling, but still nodded: "Deal."

Immediately afterwards, the monkey-masked man turned his head and looked at the black-robed old man in the lead position: "Mr. Mura, can you help verify the authenticity of the transaction item?"

"I'm happy to do that," Mura said with a laugh. He walked over, touched all the items one by one, and nodded. "They're all real, no problem."

Zhou Ning handed the pebble and devil fruit to the two traders respectively, and took two small boxes filled with refined gold and 6000 Victor cash from them. He put them away solemnly, feeling a little happy.

Even though he only got 1000 grams of refined gold, it should be enough if he is careful. He should be able to gather the other materials by visiting a few more material stores tonight. Then, as long as he can stay up all night, he can make that "Zhou Ning's Super Enhanced Machine".

Then, someone else took a fancy to the gun in his hand, and several transactions were finalized for prices ranging from dozens to hundreds of Viktoria. Zhou Ning had unknowingly become the focus of the gathering. His superb perception had already made him notice many covetous glances.

But after seeing the Wings of Law professional badge that Smith Hall beside him intentionally or unintentionally revealed, he quickly returned to normal.

A smile appeared on Zhou Ning's lips, and he was actually looking forward to whether anyone would come to cause trouble for him.

The previous several large transactions seemed to ignite the enthusiasm of those present, and several more large transactions were completed afterwards.

A similarly defensive pendant sold for 9500 Victar, while a bone claw, said to be able to crawl towards a nearby treasure, was snatched up by many and sold for a whopping 19500 Victar. Zhou Ning was somewhat interested in the bone claw, as it resembled the Greenbeard pirate glove from Jackie Chan's Adventures. However, as the price gradually increased, he decided to pass on the item.

Elsa also bought a Knight's Lance enchanted with lightning and several seemingly flashy consumables. Zhou Ning thought the Knight's Lance was worth only 3000 Viktoria at most, but Elsa didn't even bargain and bought it for 5700 Viktoria. True to her "Generous" clan-trained ability, she was completely taken advantage of.

After the strengthening machine is made, Zhou Ning will definitely trick her into strengthening her weapon by 15 as soon as possible.

The party lasted for about two hours, and by 2:8 p.m., the entire transaction was almost complete.

Zhou Ning made a few more moves and bought two extraordinary materials that he would need later and an alchemical formula called Death Rising Potion. The effect was fun and powerful. Ranged attacks had a chance to fire a shadow arrow with a built-in CD of only 1.5 seconds, lasting for 1 and a half minutes. If the attack speed was fast, it was even possible to shoot a rain of shadow arrows during ranged attacks.

This potion is a must-have for ranged players in the later stages of the game, and it is not banned in individual competitions, making it a real cash cow.

After all the transactions were completed, Mura announced that the party was over.

According to convention, the people here will leave one by one in the same way as when they came in. Under the protection of the law, at least no one here dares to attack the participants.

Zhou Ning and the other two left the house through the back door and returned to the carriage. Smith Hall took off his mask and sighed, "You only bought 1000 grams of refined gold just now. Do you want to go to other material stores to have a look?"

Zhou Ning shook his head and said, "It's enough for now, but I still need some other materials. Just lend me a carriage."

"I'll have someone arrange it for you." Smith Hall nodded slightly and said no more.

Nathaniel is a large area, and Zhou Ning is not familiar with it. After several hours, he ran around three major areas before he bought all the materials. Even though he already had the bulk of the materials, Mithril and Krypton Silver, it still cost him nearly 13600 Victars, which was outrageous.
