Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Zhou Ning glanced around and naturally saw the figures of Patriarch Roger and Smith Hall. They were standing on the weather observation platform, communicating with meteorologist Professor Scott and others.

The players who had been sent out by him to do the team mission to explore the depths of the forest also came online one after another at this time. When they saw Zhou Ning, their eyes lit up and they rushed forward to complete the mission.

Taking advantage of her short stature and high agility, Jinse squeezed to the front of the team and rushed towards Wayne Stewell in front.

Last night was a complete nightmare. She died eight times in a row while completing a map-opening quest. She was struck by lightning, corroded by acid rain, and chased by monsters. The sheer variety of deaths made her laugh. She even encountered a giant dragon, only to die peacefully. The constant stream of death was truly a scene of corpses strewn across the ground. This map was far too advanced for today's players. She wondered if this wave of quests would pay off.

And she was not the one who died the most in the team. The one who died the most, almost 30 times, was her teammate XB. His characteristics were that he was very reckless and very unlucky. Jinse felt gloating.

Zhou Ning calmly opened his map. As players submitted tasks one after another, the area of ​​the map he could see was gradually expanding. There were even quite detailed markings on the map showing the distribution of monsters and weather types, which made Zhou Ning marvel.

He did not release the rewards immediately, but opened his own map first and made a detailed comparison one by one.

The most accomplished team was the Underwater Star Sinking Team, who explored a full quarter of the northeastern region in a single night, and their exploration was complete. That map, filled with all sorts of living weather elements and various high-level monsters above level 1, was paved with countless deaths, likely paved with human lives.

Alex's team came in second place. They were exploring the area due east of the center. While monsters weren't common there, it was also the region most prone to the Bast phenomenon. Zhou Ning calculated that, in the explored area alone, there were 17 different types of precipitation, 8 types of freezing, 15 types of visibility obstruction, 7 types of lightning, and 42 other phenomena. This totaled 89 types of weather changes, half of which were fatal. Zhou Ning suspected that this direction might have caused even more casualties than the northeast.

As for the rest of Brother Tangshan's team... Zhou Ning couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. They were exploring southeast, and the map they'd mapped showed a narrow but deep area. Buster phenomena were still frequent, and the monsters were still various living meteorological elements. But what caught his attention was the marking of a skeleton-level monster.

The name on it is: Fafnir, the Hundred-Headed Dragon, which is the dragon summoned by the evil spirit possessing Archbishop Edward on Yukari Island.

Considering that the monster marked above could not have stayed in the same place, this mark was only for reference, but it undoubtedly proved that his inference was correct, that Karl Robbins and Archbishop Edward were in this forest.

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and distributed rewards according to the contribution points of map exploration. Considering that some players died too many times, Zhou Ning was also generous enough to add some experience rewards. After all, these experiences were temporarily "borrowed" by himself and would return to him sooner or later.

The players received the prompt at the same time.

"The team exploration mission [Assist Wayne Stewell in exploring the depths of the forest] has been completed. The current reward pool is 2 million experience points. To thank you for your outstanding performance, Wayne Stewell has added an additional 2000 million experience points, for a total of 3000 million experience points."

"Contribution ranking: First - Underwater Sinking Star Team; Second - Alex Team; Third - Brother Tangshan Team..."

“The bonus pool experience will be distributed in the order of 45%, 30%, and 25%.”

"The three heroes who opened the door each received a reward, Wayne Stewell Advent Card*1."

[Wayne Stewell Advent Card: Allows you to temporarily possess the fighting power of the protagonist Wayne Stewell for 2 minutes. (This item cannot be used in PK between players)]

"Damn, this is too awesome, right?"

Seeing their experience suddenly soar, and the Advent Cards awarded to the three heroes who opened the gate, the players were overjoyed. Besides being excited, they were also filled with envy. They surrounded the three heroes who opened the gate and asked them all sorts of questions.

"It's really worth being the hero who opens the door..."

At the same time, the three heroes who open the door are also happy troubles and extremely entangled. This advent card is clearly an invincible trump card. It can be used to grab the first kill in the team copy, and it can also be used in this team building task to grab contribution points at will.

As for when to use it is a very serious question.

The reactions of these players were the same as I expected... Zhou Ning smiled slightly and ignored them. Instead, he glanced around and fixed his gaze on the entrance of the camp.

In the relatively dark environment, Meredith, wearing a white priest robe and a hood of the same color, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the camp. There were traces of burns from lightning and rain on his sleeves.

"Good morning, Your Majesty Meredith!" Patriarch Roger and Smith Hall hurriedly saluted Him.

"Good morning." The "socially anxious" angel nodded slightly and greeted everyone. He also explained, "I went to explore Bast Forest last night."

"Have you found anything?" asked Patriarch Roger.

"...The weather inside is worse than I imagined, and the life elements are just as active as outside." Meredith said calmly.

"Also, I encountered General Bilson and his men deep in the east side of the forest. They have now completely transformed into werewolves. I noticed that Bilson has a high-ranking miracle item in his hand. Considering the twists and inconsistencies of fate along the way, this may be the second miracle item secretly lurking at us."

Zhou Ning curled his lips. The situation was as bad as he had imagined. If Aladdin's magic lamp and the little broken book were put together, he wondered if Meredith's shielding ability could still block two miraculous items related to fate at the same time.

At this time, Meredith retracted her gaze and took the initiative to say to Zhou Ning:

"Do you need me to start now?"

"Wait a little longer. Wait until we're ready to leave." Zhou Ning shook his head and casually asked his doubts:

"If these two miracle items are used against us together, will your shield against them still be effective?"

"I don't know, probably," Meredith replied calmly, "but the duration might be even shorter."

Should... Zhou Ning couldn't help but twitched his lips. This sounded very uneasy. He nodded slightly and said:

"Then please."

Meredith nodded, looked at Zhou Ning again, and asked:

"Have you decided what kind of personal laws you want to customize?"

Zhou Ning nodded and said solemnly, "Is there any way to customize a law that restricts both parties from using magic skills?"

"Okay." Meredith listened to Zhou Ning's request quietly and said without any change in expression:

"This request is simple, but any law has a characteristic: it cannot be used against those whose rank is clearly higher than yours. You should be aware of this, right?"
