Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Leonardo was supporting his chin with his hand, concentrating on studying the shop window, while Sherlock was questioning the shop owner, a fat middle-aged man, who was trembling with fear and could not answer anything.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the window glass, then widened until it spread across the entire pane, shattering the entire space. Everyone was startled, and when they looked over, they saw Zhou Ning, holding down his hat with his left hand, hunched over as he emerged from the window, dragging a corpse.

Leonardo opened his eyes wide with curiosity. Just as he was about to come up to ask what was going on, he was startled by the glance Zhou Ning gave him. He couldn't help but take a step back, confused and uncertain.

Although there was no malice in this look, he keenly felt that he seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, which could bring him fatal danger at any time.

"What's going on?" At this time, Sherlock also came over with his men, looking at Zhou Ning with a strange look in his eyes, "Why is it always you?"

"He did it." Zhou Ning pointed at Elvis's body on the ground and said concisely, "This guy is very difficult to deal with. It took a lot of effort on my part. Remember to pay me."

"Elvis Bart?"

Sherlock immediately recognized him. Wasn't this the Fire Mage Elvis, one of the suspects in the King's assassination attempt? He was a genuine Transcendental Professional, even close to a high-level one, and a very dangerous person! Otherwise, they wouldn't have offered him such a high price of 1000 Victars.

"Wait, don't tell me you took down Elvis Bart by yourself!" Sherlock was completely shocked. Then he looked at Zhou Ning's half-smile and looked him up and down. "Okay, I believe it."

"The deceased is indeed Elvis Bart. More than 100 bones in his body are broken, as if he was trampled by an elephant." said the day watchman who had finished the autopsy nearby.

"Difficult? Did it take a lot of effort?" Sherlock looked at Zhou Ning, who didn't even seem to be breaking a sweat, and was speechless. He had known him for a long time, and this guy always managed to refresh his understanding time and time again.

At this time, the possession effect of the epic vampire just disappeared. Zhou Ning looked at his fist and was a little shocked. Just now, when Mu Da Mu Da Elvis was beating him, he also felt that amazing power. It was completely beyond the scope of human beings. It was considered that Elvis was very tough to break more than 100 bones.

Checking the panel, the temporary template card obtained from the previous mission popped up.

[Temporary Template Card: Contains a rare character template, which can only be used once. This card can only be used in the simulation world or the backtracking world.]

The picture shows Zhou Ning, who is sitting on the sofa, wearing a black suit, black vest, white shirt, with his hair combed back and a rose pinned to his collar. His right leg is crossed over his left leg, and he holds a cigar in his right hand.

[Character: Godfather Zhou Ning]

[Personality: Gentleman, resolute, dignified, ruthless, capricious.]

[Talents: Natural Leader (Orange), Criminal Genius (Orange), Charisma (Purple)]

[Skills: Negotiation Skills (Expert), Basic Shooting (Advanced), Basic Combat (Advanced)]

[Use 0/1]

godfather?

Zhou Ning was stunned. Judging from the skills alone, this card wasn't very powerful, and its combat effectiveness was even quite weak. However, this was the only template Zhou Ning had ever seen with two orange talents. The specific effects would only be known when he used it.

After closing the control panel, Zhou Ning casually asked, "How's things going today?"

"Not very good." Sherlock didn't hide it and said with a wry smile, "I've been extremely busy these past two days. His Majesty the King was assassinated, and the responsibility fell entirely on us. We haven't had a break yet in the search for the murderer. It's really exhausting. Fortunately, you helped us deal with Elvis, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Should we continue the trade of guns and bullets these days?" Zhou Ning asked.

"Go on. You don't think the Day Guardians are just this small, do you?" Sherlock said speechlessly. "I'll arrange for someone to wait for you at the Xilin Grocery Store tomorrow. I'll also have him bring your 1000 Vecta bounty."

"Great." Zhou Ning gave Sherlock a thumbs up.

After finishing his conversation with Sherlock, Zhou Ning walked up to Leonardo and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go."

Leonardo nodded nervously, followed Zhou Ning for a few steps, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure there was no danger.

The temper of this son of another plane is really similar to that of Luffy and Naruto, the typical hot-blooded male protagonist of a comic book. After a while, he forgot what happened just now and started talking and laughing with Zhou Ning again.

After chatting, Zhou Ning learned that, just like in his previous game, Leandro was a gifted alchemist, three years his junior, and surprisingly, already an expert in alchemy, far superior to himself. But what made Leandro so enviable was a universal skill called [Fierce Focus], which Zhou Ning had long coveted. At his current rate of progress, perhaps he could acquire it one day.

Mr. Tulin's residence was right next to the alchemy lab, not far from here. When Zhou Ning pointed him out, he noticed that Leandro was quite serious, straightening his collar before knocking on the door. Zhou Ning couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Tulin was some important figure.

After returning to the alchemy laboratory, Zhou Ning couldn't wait to open the game panel. There were now 190,000 experience points on the panel, mainly from the gains from today's mission.

After learning Divine Avoidance, I am now only three active skills away from completing the initial construction of the profession.

The skills that can be integrated in the skill list are: Shooting Mastery (Basic), Ripple Breathing (Intermediate), Mozambique Shooting (Basic), CAR Shooting (Basic), Dodge (Basic), Armament Haki (Basic), Divine Avoidance (Basic), Basic Swordsmanship (Advanced), Flying Spear (Basic).

After two fusions, there were not many choices. Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment and first tried to fuse the basic swordsmanship and ripple breathing method together.

[Would you like to fuse Basic Swordsmanship (Advanced) and Ripple Breathing (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 12000 experience points. The success rate is 68%]

Zhou Ning chose yes without hesitation, and his experience in basic swordsmanship and ripple breathing technique was cleared, and he returned to the beginner level.

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill: [Ripple Sword Technique] (Elementary).]

[Ripple Sword Technique (Elementary): Infuse the sword with ripple energy, launching a powerful attack. The attack power is 235% of the weapon's damage. This skill doubles the damage to dark creatures.]

Not bad! Although swordsmanship is only auxiliary for him, the attack power of this skill panel is quite high, and it might be effective.

Next, Zhou Ning spent more than 2 experience points to upgrade both shooting proficiency and flying gun to intermediate level, and tried to integrate them.

[Would you like to fuse Marksmanship (Intermediate) and Flying Spear (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 12000 experience points. The success rate is 56%]

[yes!]

[The fusion failed, your shooting proficiency (intermediate) and flying gun (intermediate) proficiency are reset to zero.]

Zhou Ning: ...

Fortunately, I have saved enough experience points to be prepared for any eventuality.

After trying again, the panel finally prompted:

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill [Floating Shooting] (Elementary).]

[Floating Shooting (Basic): Use a gun to shoot the ground and fly backwards, and then shoot at the enemy in the air. The attack damage is 135% of the weapon damage.]

This skill is just average, not outstanding. But it looks cool, that's all.

It wasn't over yet! After some observation, Zhou Ning invested over 6 experience points to upgrade his Shooting Mastery to Advanced, and his Armament Haki and Dodge to Intermediate.

[Would you like to fuse Shooting Mastery (Advanced), Armament Haki (Intermediate), and Dodge (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 36000 experience points. The success rate is 65%]

Skill fusion wasn't limited to two skills; each additional skill cost an additional 5000 experience points, and the cost doubled for multiple fusions. Therefore, Zhou Ning waited until he had enough experience before attempting a third fusion.

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill [Fatal Return] (Elementary).]

[Fatal Return (Elementary): While dodging the opponent's attack, you can inflict a fatal blow wrapped in Armament Haki. The damage coefficient is related to the level of Armament Haki.]

Mission accomplished! Zhou Ning couldn't help but clench his fists.

Compared with the lottery, he was particularly lucky in skill fusion and never lost at the critical moment.

This fatal return shot is even more awesome than dodge shooting, it can be called a magical skill among magical skills. Just looking at the description, the effect even exceeds the skills of most advanced professions.

In this way, his new career plan was preliminarily completed.
