Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

With the busy work of a group of people, it didn't take long before all the tents in the camp were set up and looked brand new.

The material used by the Church of the God of War to build their tents is a magical cloth that is a billion points more expensive than the waterproof, anti-electric, and corrosion-resistant "Bryce." This cloth is guaranteed to protect against catastrophic weather conditions of moderate or lower intensity. The same size cloth costs five times as much as "Bryce," truly worth every penny.

Zhou Ning glanced at the countless tents in the camp and estimated that the value of these tents alone was close to seven figures. With that calculation, his 8 Vectra reward was nothing.

Meanwhile, outside the camp, numerous members of the War God Church issued a decree to resist weather fluctuations, effectively blocking the wind and rain. As long as a demigod or higher-level individual wasn't causing catastrophic weather, they were basically safe.

In the center of the camp, a weather observation station was also built at the same time. At this time, Scott and others were busy installing iron pillars on it to collect meteorological elements.

They would complete basic measurements of the island's weather tonight, most importantly determining whether a tidal surge would occur. If all was clear, they would depart early tomorrow morning for a large-scale exploration of the forest east of the camp.

As the core combat force of this team, Zhou Ning was given the right to live in a tent alone, which was on the southeast side of the camp, closest to the opposite forest, so that he could pay attention to the movements nearby at any time.

On the way back to his tent, Zhou Ning took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment.

According to the exploration notes, the forest in front has a very intuitive name, called Bast Forest. It is part of an area prone to abnormal climate. Standing in the camp, you can see the scene inside from afar.

He stood here and looked out for a while, examining the scene in the forest. The fog around him was getting thicker and thicker. As far as the eye could see in the forest, icicles were hanging and swaying among the treetops.

Haha, at a glance, there are three or four kinds of weather conditions coexisting. Even in front of him, Zhou Ning felt an inexplicable depression and uneasiness, as if something was observing him through the fog and darkness.

This is a reminder from the powerful Observation Haki, indicating that there is an unpredictable crisis ahead.

But now I have no way out... Zhou Ning sighed silently.

On the way back to the tent, players would occasionally come up to me, wanting to spend money, while others would try to trigger tasks and ask questions from time to time:

"Mr. Wayne, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat?"

Zhou Ning: ...

Although there are not too many players online at the moment, considering that he is short on time, he has no intention of opening a business. However, he still has a fatherly love for the players, so he decided to find something for them to do.

His eyes flashed, and he simply issued a team mission to explore the depths of the forest, asking the players to go and explore the situation in the forest first.

Among the types of tasks posted, there is an exploration task. The task reward can be determined based on the size of the map completed by the exploration. You can see various details from the task information submitted by the players, such as the terrain and the distribution of monsters inside. These will appear on his map in the form of information annotations.

See what is inside that makes you feel depressed and uneasy.

Zhou Ning took out his pocket watch, clicked it open and checked the time. It was 11:40 pm. The scheduled departure time for tomorrow was 8 am.

After a brief thought, he quickly set up a prize pool task and distributed it.

"Super Large Exploration Prize Pool Mission: No limit on team size. Mission requires exploration of the entire Bast Forest. Time limit: 8 hours."

As mentioned before, prize pool tasks are always the most experience-saving task type and are the easiest to attract players' enthusiasm.

As expected, more and more players appeared around Zhou Ning. There were more than 2000 people online at this time. They quickly formed three groups of 3 people and came to Zhou Ning to rush to accept tasks.

Considering the mission's danger, he offered a base reward of 4000 million experience points, ready to compensate players who died. In a blink of an eye, the prize pool quickly rose to 1 million experience points, and was still rapidly increasing.

The mission requires the three heroes, led by the gate-opening heroes, to explore Bast Forest as far as possible. Hawkeye and Kelly will help them in due course.

The larger the exploration range and the more detailed the exploration, the higher the ranking will be, and everyone can gain considerable experience.

Zhou Ning glanced at the players who were eager to try. The task was limited to 8 hours. Those who could grind could continue, and those who couldn't could log off at any time. They could all complete the task successfully, but the rewards would be different. He was really worried about their gaming experience.

……

Returning to the tent, Zhou Ning hurriedly put away his luggage, first took out the Marauder's Map, spread it on the table, and silently read:

"The prank is over!"

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!"

The map refreshed instantly, and after a moment Zhou Ning sighed in disappointment.

Even though he had already arrived at Hood Island and the Marauder's Map successfully displayed the situation within a ten-kilometer radius of the island, he still couldn't see the people he was looking for after looking through the information on the entire island.

It made sense, considering the 10000 square kilometer island only showed the area within 10 kilometers. It took a bit of luck. He planned to refresh the map every once in a while.

The names of the players displayed on the Marauder's Map gradually darkened and disappeared, only to reappear in the camp moments later. It was easy to imagine how difficult it must have been inside. God knows what was going on inside.

Zhou Ning's mouth twitched slightly, indicating that he was powerless to help. He could only silently wish the players good luck. Regardless of whether the experience in the prize pool was enough to help them recover their losses, at least they gained the gaming experience.

At this time, the duration of the six-point dice was almost over. In order to make the most of this rare good luck, while the luck was still there, Zhou Ning clicked on the lottery interface without hesitation, ready to take this opportunity to draw a prize. If there was more time, he would do another simulation.

In addition, considering that after winning the confrontation map, you can freely choose an Advent Card from the opponents defeated in this confrontation - this is how he obtained the Hero King Advent Card last time. If possible, Zhou Ning would consider deliberately choosing a confrontation map for simulation.

After several rounds of spending, especially after spending nearly 3 time-travel coins to buy Kaguya Otsutsuki, his wealth had shrunk considerably. He also needed to leave some money for the possibility of a "mediocre" template. This time, Zhou Ning also planned to only draw two or three ten-draw combos before stopping, depending on the results.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and couldn't wait to spend 4500 time travel coins to do the first ten consecutive draws, and then opened them one by one.

At the beginning, the result seemed to be no different. There were three byes at the beginning, and then a purple light and a golden light flashed continuously, with two silver-white lights in between.
