Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

At this time, Leonardo was quite confused. There were two players with different IDs standing next to him. One of them looked sneaky and it was XB, and the other was a petite female player named Jinse.

"Jinse? She seems to be a celebrity." Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows, memories coming to mind.

"The star of the Deep Blue Club, a master alchemist, and one of the top five warrior-type players in the country. In her previous life, it was she who maxed out Leonardo's favorability and discovered the secret of the Flame Oil. I didn't expect her to be a player in this closed beta test."

Zhou Ning's lips curled slightly as he walked over. Compared to XB, Jinse was undoubtedly a higher-quality leek. He'd seen the forum post from that time. Jinse had persevered through 492 rounds of quests to improve Leandro's favorability, a veritable god-level bootlicker. It was better to harvest this god-level leek yourself.

Jinse was feeling a little worried at the moment. She was born in West County near Docklands. She rushed to Docklands as soon as she lit up the map. Unfortunately, she missed the big plot. This morning, she rushed to the University of Wick to try her luck, but she met Leonardo, who looked like a passerby and didn't like to talk to people.

Think about Wayne who was very friendly to players in the previous TV series. Why is the gap between NPCs so big?

Hey, this is it?

Jinse's eyes scanned like radar and saw a stunningly handsome NPC walking towards her from a distance. Isn't this Wayne Stewell?

He is really handsome. Jinse's heart was pounding and her face quickly turned red as if she was drunk.

...Wake up, now is not the time to be a fangirl!

Jinse came to her senses and noticed that a new task suddenly popped up in the task list in front of her.

[You have triggered an instant quest: Give NPC Wayne Stewell a cupcake. There might be a surprise! Do you accept? Yes/No.]

Jinse's eyes lit up, the mission has arrived!

She immediately chose yes. She looked around with bright eyes and soon noticed a breakfast shop not far away. She quickly trotted over.

At this moment, XB also saw Zhou Ning and immediately left Leonardo behind, running over excitedly: "Boss, good morning."

Zhou Ning nodded to him and sent him a task to buy breakfast.

Soon Jinse came back with a steaming cupcake: "Here, sir!"

Zhou Ning pretended to be slightly stunned and smiled, "Is this for me?"

"Yeah!" Jinse could hardly suppress the desire to scream and nodded desperately. This smile was so handsome that it made me dizzy.

"Thank you." Zhou Ning took the cake and asked casually, "Wait, you seem to know alchemy?"

"Yes, yes." Jinse continued to nod her head vigorously, feeling that this NPC was more and more mysterious. She traveled through time as an alchemist's apprentice, and now she had an alchemy (elementary) skill.

"Oh, I see. I have some simple tasks for you. Are you willing to accept them?" Zhou Ning asked.

"I do!" Jinse replied hastily, overjoyed. Even though the closed beta test was about to end in less than two days, at least she could establish a relationship with the protagonist, which would make things much smoother once the public beta test began.

Zhou Ning wrote the address of his alchemy lab on a piece of paper and handed it to Jinse: "Come over this afternoon and give it a try. If you're not up to the task, I won't let you off."

At this time, XB also came back with breakfast. Seeing this situation, he looked at Zhou Ning eagerly: "Boss, where am I?"

"Thank you." Zhou Ning took the breakfast with a smile. He then settled the task for him. Then he turned around and walked towards Leonardo.

XB: …

He felt very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. His current state of mind was a bit like seeing his beloved person holding hands with someone else getting into another car from under a car.

It was obviously me who came first!

Leonardo was also a little confused at this time. He originally wanted to ask for directions, but two strangers came out of nowhere and surrounded him, chatting about this and that. Then they left out of nowhere and surrounded another person more enthusiastically.

Although I don't care, what's going on with this inexplicable sense of loss?

Zhou Ning handed the breakfast bought by XB to Leonardo and said with a smile: "Good morning, the weather is nice today.

"Yes, it hasn't changed in at least two hours. It's a beautiful day." Leonardo took the breakfast, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I want to know where the Pig and Whistle breakfast shop on campus is. Senior, do you know?"

"I know. Are you going to see Mr. or Mrs. Tulin?"

"Mr. Turin. My father asked me to come and say hello to him," said Leandro.

Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. It was almost 9 o'clock. "Mr. Tulin shouldn't be at the breakfast shop right now. I know where he lives. If it's not urgent, wait here for a while. I'll take you there later."

"Okay, thank you very much!" Leonardo bowed to Zhou Ning.

Leandro de Pesa's opinion of you has increased. Currently: Friendly.

Zhou Ning walked along the cobblestone road to the third-floor office building of the Alchemy Department and found Professor Weasley's office based on his memory.

Knock! Knock! He knocked on the door.

"Come in." Professor Weasley's voice came from inside the door.

Seeing Zhou Ning push the door open, Professor Weasley sat in his seat with a serious expression: "Hello, Sternwell, what's going on?"

"Good morning, Professor Weasley."

Zhou Ning honestly stated his purpose. "Well, my alchemy skills are about to reach the advanced level, and I recently rented an alchemy lab off campus. So starting next semester, I probably won't be able to continue my teaching assistantship."

"Oh? That's good! I approve." Professor Weasley stood up with some surprise. "What level have you reached now? Can you make the Intelligence Potion?"

"There's no recipe, but it should be possible." Zhou Ning answered honestly.

The Cleverness Potion is an intermediate alchemy formula, so it's not a difficult task for Zhou Ning. But seeing Weasley so happily agreeing to it, why does he feel a little unhappy?

Professor Weasley pulled out a quill, tore off a piece of paper, wrote a recipe, and handed it to him. "This is the recipe for the Cleverness Potion. The school is organizing an expedition to study weather and tides soon, and we'll need a large amount of the potion. The school can provide the herbs, and I'll pay you two roshens per bottle for the labor, or you can provide the materials yourself and I'll buy it for 15 roshens a bottle. Are you willing?"

"I do." Zhou Ning's mouth twitched slightly. Professor Weasley was indeed stingy. There was profit to be made at this price, but it was basically just hard-earned money. However, considering the free experience, he endured it.

After finishing the business, Zhou Ning took off his hat, saluted, said goodbye and left.

Facing the sunlight, Zhou Ning unfolded the paper with the recipe written on it. It read:

Intelligence Potion: Gastrodia elata leaves + daisy roots + golden-edged agave roots...it's not difficult at all.

"Wait...what is this?" Zhou Ning keenly noticed that there was still a part of the lettering left on the torn half of the paper.

"This seems to be... Innoc University? Why would Professor Weasley use Innoc University's paper?" Zhou Ning frowned. In his memory, Professor Weasley seemed to be from North West County, and his parents, relatives and friends were all there.

When they returned to the boulevard, Leonardo was still waiting there. After calling him, the two of them walked out of the school side by side.

Just as I walked out of the school gate, a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel.

[You have triggered the survival mission [Survival]!]

[Mission Tip: The cultists from the dark have set their sights on you, please be careful.]

[Quest requirements: Survive the attacks of the cultists.]

[Reward: Unknown.]

Zhou Ning's heart sank.

Suddenly, all the hairs on his back stood up, as if they were being pricked by needles.
