Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"The ingredients for devil fruits are very rare, and I can only make one every two days at most. Besides, school starts the day after tomorrow, so I probably won't have time to come to Xilin Grocery Store in the short term." Zhou Ning shrugged and said.

What Zhou Ning said was true. Making devil fruits required a large amount of herbs. The herbs in the Golden Oak Herb Shop were not enough. He had to control the production appropriately.

"I want all the devil fruits from this period. We'll trade every Saturday and I'll send someone to get them. Is that okay?" Qi'en looked at Zhou Ning inquiringly.

"No problem." Zhou Ning nodded.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Qi En extended his hand and shook hands with Zhou Ning.

Finally, after negotiations, Zhou Ning and Shouri Ren reached a purchase agreement on a batch of devil fruits.

Zhou Ning sold the devil fruit, which cost less than 200 Viktoria, for 700 Viktoria, with a net profit of nearly 300%.

This is the benefit of monopoly.

He wasn't too greedy. In fact, Qi'en's willingness to pay 700 was beyond his expectation. He was worthy of being called "Brother Scale" by future players. He was fair in everything he did.

Because in the eyes of NPCs, the reference value of this thing can only be compared with the extremely effective super-power potion of the same level. Even the extremely effective super-power potion can only be sold for 600. Although it is a temporary loss, it can only be done this way before finding a more reliable shipping channel. In a few days, Zhou Ning plans to go to the extraordinary gathering to try his luck.

Qi En even paid a deposit of 500 Victories in advance, which made Zhou Ning's cash flow exceed 2000 Victories and he had a considerable amount of funds.

The two discussed the details of the transaction for a while, and Qi En changed the subject, took out an invitation from his pocket, and said with a smile:

"Wayne, this Sunday is Alan's coming-of-age ceremony. He wants to invite you to the dinner. Are you free?"

"I should be free." Zhou Ning thought for a moment and said.

After all, the fat guy had been through thick and thin with him, so Zhou Ning had a good impression of him. It was a good opportunity to get acquainted with the nobles of the Kingdom of Bryston. Zhou Ning had always been very concerned about the noble in blue that night.

Seeing Zhou Ning accepting the invitation, Qi En smiled and said: "Then see you on Sunday, Alan must be very happy that you will come."

……

After leaving Xilin Grocery Store, Zhou Ning did not choose to return to the dormitory directly. Instead, he took a public carriage to the other end of the old city.

There is a blacksmith shop there called "Steel Forge", which is very famous in the game.

He had thought about it. When he fought with Elvis in the mirror world before, he lacked a handy and durable sword. Although his battles were usually based on long-range attacks, there were many types of battles. There were ways to restrict long-range attacks in the game world. For example, water magic had an amnesia method that made people forget how to perform long-range attacks.

This means that Zhou Ning had better buy a sword as a backup, so that when he needs it, he will not have no melee weapon and can only wait to die.

Pushing open the door of the "Steel Furnace", Zhou Ning touched the banknotes in his pocket and walked in.

The layout of the blacksmith shop is the same as in the game. There is a row of swords against the wall on the left, guns, bullets, daggers and other things are placed in the glass cabinet in the middle, and a row of rifles are placed on the right.

"The weapons here are all quite ordinary, lacking a certain... spirituality." At this time, Jasmine popped up in her mind again and complained.

Zhou Ning's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her. This was a typical case of why not eat meat?

Everyone knows these weapons lack spirituality. Weapons with spirituality are at least epic-level, right? Why would they still be displayed here?

After glancing around on the left, I didn't see any particularly good weapons. Instead, a male clerk came over and asked politely:

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

This is a shop opened by a Northman, and the clerk is also a Northman - at least from the appearance, with red hair, two meters tall, and looks very tough.

In the game Apocalypse, the Northerners are best known for two things: forging and piracy. Two of the three great pirate kings in the game have Northern ancestry.

In response to the male clerk's question, Zhou Ning thought for a moment and said, "I want a one-handed sword, weighing around 11 pounds, and something sturdy. Any recommendations? Price is not an issue."

The clerk nodded, led him forward, and pointed to a one-handed sword hanging in the corner. He said, "This sword was forged by Master Malian himself. It's infiltrated with some meteoric iron. 49 Viktar 9 Roshen. Would you like to try it?"

About 50 Viktorias... Zhou Ning was shocked by the price, but he had money on him now, so he could afford it.

Nodding slightly to the clerk: "Okay."

Zhou Ning took the sword from the clerk and tried to swing it. He found it surprisingly smooth. A message popped up on the panel:

Rare item: Meteorite Thorn Sword

Quality: purple

Damage: 18-36

Attack speed: Very fast

Attributes: Agility +2

"A rare item?" Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes, stroking the rapier, and instantly made up his mind to buy it. "This one will do."

"Okay, sir, please follow me over there to pay." After the deal was done, the clerk's smile became much more sincere, and he led Zhou Ning to the counter.

After paying 50 Viktoras with great pain, Zhou Ning walked out of the "Steel Furnace" with the Meteorite Thorn Sword. After crossing several streets, he came to a downward staircase.

In the game, there's a large underground market below, with a series of stairs leading up to it in the old town. Most of the goods here are worthless herbs and materials, but the main selling point is some strange and mysterious items. Many elderly citizens and collectors who have fallen on hard times will choose to sell antiques from various eras here.

The unknown strange object that Zhou Ning mentioned before appeared here.

At this time, Zhou Ning did not hesitate and walked down the stairs directly.

After pushing open the door, a dazzling light from a gas lamp immediately came into view.

After adjusting to the glow of the gas lamp, Zhou Ning glanced around. Just like in the game, there was indeed a rather large underground market, with small stalls intertwined and interconnected, stretching for over a thousand meters. This market would last until around 10 p.m., which was peak season, with people constantly flocking in from all directions.

The market was packed with people at this time, mostly young people who valued self-awareness and a mysterious atmosphere. They followed the crowds as they walked among the stalls, large and small, stopping from time to time to observe and explore, creating a very lively atmosphere.

After adjusting his hat, Zhou Ning stepped into the market.

The unknown strange object in the previous life appeared some time after the game started and was bought by a noble from Brighton. A player happened to witness the whole process and posted it on the forum.

Therefore, the probability of this item appearing tonight is not too high. At least Zhou Ning does not expect to buy it immediately. He came here tonight just to try his luck.

As a buyer, Zhou Ning did not immediately look for what he needed.

Instead, I just followed the crowd. I have to say that the atmosphere of mysticism here is quite strong. The stalls are full of moonstones, citrine, crosses, talismans and other items. They are cheap and in sufficient quantities.

But according to Zhou Ning's observation, nothing was useful.

However, the herbs on an herbal medicine stall gave him some surprises. They were very cheap, especially the snake grass used to make the Fuling potion, which was even cheaper than the Golden Oak Herbal Store after a 8% discount.

Although the quantity was not large, it was an unexpected gain. After paying, Zhou Ning walked towards the next stall with a bag of herbs in a very happy mood.

After a while, he stopped in front of a stall selling used books.

Because he accidentally saw a familiar name among these old books: Windgun.

He is the legendary alchemist who created puppet alchemy.
