Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"Oh? So fast?"

Professor Weasley was a little surprised. He opened the potion box and picked up a bottle of cleverness potion from the potion shelf. He shook it, looked at the liquid sediment, opened the bottle cap and smelled it.

"The quality is very good, it doesn't look like it was made by a novice, Sternwell. Has your alchemy level reached the advanced level?" Professor Weasley asked.

Zhou Ning thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it. In fact, if he was not afraid that the continuous promotions in a few days would be too outrageous and would shock Professor Weasley, Zhou Ning would even want to tell him that his alchemy skills had reached expert level.

He nodded readily, "Yes, the senior one who just arrived two days ago."

"Very well, it seems that I underestimated your talent." Professor Weasley showed a rare smile on his unsmiling face. After counting the number of potions, he took out a roll of money from his coat pocket with great heartache, and put it Pushed it to Zhou Ning on the table, "I don't have enough money with me, I only have 222 Victa and 3 Luoshen, is it okay?"

Zhou Ning: ???

Are you a devil? Based on the price of 15 Roshen per bottle, 150 bottles should be 225 Vikta, which is 27 Roshen less!

However, Zhou Ning decided not to argue with him, because Professor Weasley was such a stingy person, always calculating money carefully. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter."

Professor Weasley chuckled and said, "I wasn't mistaken about you. You are indeed a gentleman. By the way, I want to know what your beliefs are."

Zhou Ning's mind raced. According to his memory, his original belief was the Sun Goddess. In the gaming world, belief was a very serious matter and there was no need to be inconsistent.

"I believe in the sun goddess." Zhou Ning said.

Professor Weasley nodded slightly and said, "Then I suggest you go to the Alchemist Association as soon as possible to obtain alchemist certification and accept as many commissions as possible. You must prepare to become a master alchemist in advance."

"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded. He understood Professor Weasley's meaning very well. In fact, he also planned to do so. The Alchemist Guild in "Apocalypse" was an ancient society founded by the high priest Louisa, one of the four heroes. Its influence spread throughout the Apocalypse world. The guild headquarters was located in Saint Ronald, the capital of Luince, and it also had a branch in Darkland. It could provide various services to alchemists, including purchasing herbs, purchasing finished products, providing various rare formulas, and so on.

Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining these services is sufficient reputation. This happened to be easy for Zhou Ning, as he had a good relationship with the West family, who controlled the Darkland Alchemist Association.

After saying goodbye to Professor Weasley, Zhou Ning returned to his apartment, changed into a white shirt with a black vest, put on a thin windbreaker, and left Wick University directly.

I came to a nearby car rental company - just like the car rental company in my previous life, this place not only provides carriage rental services, but also sedan chair rentals, charged by the day, which is very expensive.

Speaking of carriage rentals, Zhou Ning had heard a story in a game in his previous life, though he wasn't sure if it was true or not. Twenty years ago, an alchemist named Charles Hobson invented a carriage meter. Powered by an alchemical array, it could precisely calculate passengers' ride times, making it incredibly convenient. However, the owners of the rental companies weren't happy about having their commissions determined by a machine, so they conspired to murder Charles Hobson, getting him drunk and then drowning him in the Seton River.

It is not known whether this story is true or not, but the price of renting a horse-drawn carriage is really expensive. A light two-wheeled carriage costs 20 roshens to rent for a day, which is about 400 yuan in RMB.

After renting a carriage for 20 roshen, Zhou Ning headed towards the canal area. It had to be said that Darkland was truly vast. It wasn't apparent in the game, but based on Zhou Ning's experience over the past two weeks, while some areas were characterized by unpredictable weather and few inhabitants, the traversable area alone was roughly twice the size of Chengdu.

Zhou Ning sat in the carriage, looking out through the window, examining the houses on the roadside.

The buildings along the canal are mainly shops. After spending almost two hours touring here, the carriage turned around and headed towards the Seton River area.

Compared to the Canal District, which is closer to the civilian area, the Seton River area can be regarded as the center of Docklands. The famous Four Heroes Statue stands there, and Witsher Church Square, where the king's assassination took place, is also nearby.

It was not until near dusk that Zhou Ning suddenly caught sight of a somewhat dilapidated two-story building out of the corner of his eye. The roof of the building was blue, a typical Braxton middle-class style, and there was a small garden downstairs.

"This should be the place!" Zhou Ning cheered up.

After quickly logging into the forum and clicking on the pinned video post for comparison, Zhou Ning confirmed this even more. The location, layout, and house style were exactly the same.

However, Zhou Ning did not rush to stop the carriage at this time, but let the coachman drive the carriage forward until it reached the end of the road and the building could no longer be seen. Only then did Zhou Ning call out to the coachman and ask him to stop the carriage.

"Thank you. That's all for today's employment." Zhou Ning said with a smile.

It started to rain at this time. After watching the carriage leave, Zhou Ning rented an umbrella from a nearby shop, opened the umbrella, and walked slowly towards the target building.

Looking closely, the house was much more dilapidated than I had imagined. The garden had not been tended to for a long time. The house was extremely quiet, with not a single sound being heard.

No. 135 Rope Avenue, Zhou Ning remembered the house number.

There was a hotel not far away. After Zhou Ning booked a room in it using a pseudonym, he observed the situation across the street from the window from time to time.

It was not until night fell that Zhou Ning slowly walked out of the hotel, walked around to the shadow of the side of the small building, and looked up at the second floor.

The front door was closed, the second floor was pitch black, and the windows were closed, as if no one was there, but he did not stay and chose to leave the building without hesitation.

His first thought was to report to the Sun Watchers. If he didn't, would he be left there for the New Year? But on second thought, he decided to go in and see what was going on. With Phoenix One and Damian's regular mirror, he should be able to come and go freely.

After locking the door, he clicked on Phoenix No. 1 in the inventory and selected the equipment.

In an instant, a golden-red battle suit was already on him. After checking his equipment, he took out an unknown artifact [Damian's Ordinary Mirror] from the inventory and chose to enter the mirror world.

After entering the mirror world again, Zhou Ning walked along the long corridor towards the distance. No. 135 Rope Avenue opposite was not far away. The directions of the mirror world and the real world were opposite, so it was not difficult to find it as long as you found the right direction.

Zhou Ning walked forward along the corridor. Perhaps because it was located in the city center, countless mirrors hanging in the air appeared in a short distance. Through the mirrors, he could see various different scenes in reality like fleeting shadows, giving Zhou Ning a feeling of peeking into reality through the gap between time and space.

After walking for a full five minutes, Zhou Ning finally reached his destination, where a mirror was hanging quietly.
