Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

There were many more goodies to come. The third and fourth lots were both batches of excellent firearms. However, what surprised Zhou Ning was that these firearms showed traces of imitations of modern firearms. Currently, only the Japanese defenders could do this. The nearly one year he had been away was enough time for them to imitate these firearms with relatively low technical difficulty.

The seller was a man wearing a common tortoise-shell mask, ultimately selling them for a total of 7000 Vectars, equivalent to less than 12 Vectars per gun, roughly equivalent to his own cost. Zhou Ning sensed the man's identity with a quick glance: Polly, the same name as John's beloved dog, was a member of the Sun Watchers, with whom he had collaborated twice before.

Following Polly's two firearms, the top demigod of the Earth Goddess Church brought out a ring that enhanced spiritual power, but slightly slowed its recovery. Zhou Ning was also tempted, but this seemingly ordinary ring had gone from a starting price of 5000 Vectra to a whopping 83000 Vectra—enough money for an average person to live a lifetime.

Zhou Ning sighed silently. Only in the simulator and in situations like this did he realize how poor he really was. Even if all his assets totaled over a million, Viktoria wouldn't buy him much.

Next, Brian, wearing a mole mask, also took out two unknown artifacts he made himself. One was wings that could give people the ability to fly. The disadvantage was that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy and needed to be recharged with moonstone after use; the other was a curtain that could provide a hidden space. Hiding under the curtain could make people temporarily invisible.

Zhou Ning had seen Brian's collection before, and these two unknown artifacts were considered mid-range. Unexpectedly, they sold for over 7 Vectra combined. He was truly rich.

After several eye-watering deals were completed, the atmosphere on the market reached a fever pitch. Several rare supernatural materials were subsequently sold. Zhou Ning finally saw two ingredients for the NZT-52. One was a rare herb called Petrified Thorn, which cost 3500 Victar. The other was the Emerald Concoction once crafted by Old Turin, which was also one of the catalysts used in the production of the NZT-52.

Time ticked by, and Brian made several bids, spending a fortune on three extremely rare and extraordinary materials. He breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Ning suspected that this was the special item the little book had mentioned, the one that would allow him to ascend to the Grandmaster level.

In addition to these materials, the demigod wearing a silver mask once again took out a warship looted from the Kingdom of Revendreth after the last transaction and sold it for 160000 Victars. The buyer was Polly, a member of the Sun Watchers. Zhou Ning guessed that the two parties should have reached some kind of agreement.

At this time, the things sold by a strange man in the right corner attracted everyone's attention, and even Ian couldn't help but straighten up.

"I want to sell a quasi-miracle item. If you collect all of them, it can be considered a miracle item."

He carefully took out a black box from his arms, opened it, and took out a stone bead with six stars inside.

"It comes from an organization called the Starry Sky Church. It's called a Dragon Ball. I only have one of them. If I collect all seven, I can summon a dragon and grant any wish."

"I guarantee that all of this is true and am willing to transfer it for 5000 Vekta."

Zhou Ning: ...

He was in a state of mixed emotions. He had actually had the Starry Sky Church and his clones deliberately spread rumors about the Dragon Ball, but he hadn't expected it to reach the Transcendental Gathering. However, Zhou Ning wasn't about to interfere. This would actually benefit him in gaining greater access to the power of wishing.

At this moment, Ian nodded and confirmed, "It's true." The place was immediately filled with a buzz of discussion.

In the end, the Dragon Ball was sold for 46000 Vectra, and a Transcendent wearing a monkey mask decisively bought it. This was not beyond Zhou Ning's expectations, as a single Dragon Ball would be around this price.

When the Dragon Ball was finally sold, a lady in a red wizard robe, her face completely hidden by a hood, spoke:

"I also have a quasi-miracle item I want to sell."

This... couldn't be another Dragon Ball, could it? Zhou Ning looked over expectantly.

Quasi-miracle items are basically only available to high-ranking members of the Orthodox Church. If this quasi-miracle item is suitable for his own use, Zhou Ning will buy it at all costs.

The lady whose face could not be seen looked around and said:

"This quasi-miracle item is a ring I call the 'Scholar's Ring.' Using it allows you to quickly learn any knowledge. While its function may not seem worthy of a quasi-miracle item, I've tested it and found it has a very high priority. It can even teach you abilities that you otherwise wouldn't be able to use."

"Through it, I learned swordsmanship, the warrior's fighting spirit, and the priest's power word. Even though I can't use it, I did learn it. If you aspire to become a multi-professional, it would be a very good choice."

"Its negative effects are also extremely severe, rendering the bearer unfortunate and teetering on the brink of madness."

"I'm willing to trade it for something magical. Anything will do. If nothing else, I'll accept a Victar of comparable value."

Wait... This thing doesn't seem that simple. Based on the rudiments of his authority over all things, Zhou Ning saw more information.

Item Name: Scholar's Ring

Item Level: Quasi-miracle item

Equipment level: 96

Attributes: Spirit +37, Will +19, Luck -2

Effect 1: You can quickly learn a completely unfamiliar knowledge within six days.

Effect 2: ?????

Effect three: ?????

Negative effects: Every previous owner of this item died in various accidents. The holder will become unfortunate and will be on the verge of madness and loss of control.

This ring has two ununlocked abilities, which means it could become a miracle item once fully unlocked.

As for the negative effects... logically speaking, they were within his tolerance. Zhou Ning looked at Yian and found that he also showed an expression of interest.

Speaking of magic-related items, Zhou Ning immediately thought of two things. One of them was Xiao Poshu's love interest, the Luoyan City textbook. It contained forbidden knowledge about the ancient evil gods that existed before humanity. It could provide ordinary people with magical powers and could cast evil spells independently, ignoring the caster's own magic power. It undoubtedly met the caster's requirements perfectly.

The other item is a dark tome obtained from the Holy Lord. It contains a wealth of dark magic. The former is associated with the evil god of suppression and is the little book's brightest light. Compared to the two, the latter is more suitable for trading, and I believe the other party will be satisfied.

At this time, Ian broke the silence and said:

"The item is real. I can give you a quote. I have a staff of unknown rare item level that can increase the power of spells by about 34%. The negative effect is that the magic power required to cast the spell increases slightly. If you are interested, I can add extra money."

The lady shook her head regretfully and said:

"I'm sorry, but I already have a suitable weapon. Does anyone have other offers?"

At this time, other people also offered quotes, but they were all rejected by the lady one by one. Only then did Zhou Ning stand up, take out the Dark Treasure Book from the storage ring, put it on the table, and said:

"This is a magic book called the Dark Tome, which contains a vast amount of unique black magic. You can learn countless dark spells from it."

"Dark Tome?" The lady's eyes lit up. "Can I take a look?"
