Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"I don't mean to interfere with you, but can you take off the ring next time you drink? Priests serving the Sun Goddess cannot drink excessively." Jasmine's voice sounded a little depressed from within the ring.

"Sorry." Zhou Ning tilted his head back and drank the beer in one gulp. He wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Next time for sure."

Jasmine: ...

She simply didn't bother to talk anymore. Zhou Ning laughed and shook his head, putting down his glass. He pushed the West family's VIP card in front of the bartender and said softly, "I need some information."

The bartender calmly picked up the VIP card on the table, examined it for a few seconds, and then handed it back to Zhou Ning. He pointed to a secret door at the right rear and said, "Go inside, to the third room."

After opening the door, there was a staircase leading down. At the end of the staircase was an iron gate guarded by someone. The big man guarding the gate looked at Zhou Ning and did not stop him from pushing the door open and entering.

Just like the scene in the game, this is an underground boxing ring. After the game started, it was a popular place for players to PK and make money.

Anyway, players will not die, so the fights between players are absolutely flesh-and-blood, which is very entertaining. Death is also a common occurrence, so it is very popular in underground boxing rings.

However, this favor did not last long. Not long after, the boxing arena discovered that many players were playing fake matches. They could be resurrected immediately after death, and rushed over to share the money after resurrection. So they blacklisted most of the players.

After entering the boxing ring, a terrible sound suddenly swept over.

The game has begun. In the ring, a Northern boxer is fighting with a werewolf warrior.

Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes. With his current strength, it was not difficult for him to sense that both boxers were quite strong. The werewolf even had the advantage of being a supernatural race and should be around level 20.

"Kill that Northerner!"

"Ghost Wolf! You will definitely win!"

"Don't lose, Northerner! I'm betting 70 roshen on you!"

……

Outside the ring, the audience roared wildly, their blood boiling, and there was no shortage of foul language. It was much worse than the environment in the game.

Zhou Ning felt like he'd entered a modern nightclub. The clamor was so deafening it nearly made his heart skip a beat. He walked around the ring and silently counted to the third room. The door was ajar. He reached out and knocked, and it opened.

Inside was an office where the temperature was slightly lower than outside. Sitting behind the desk was a wealthy businessman wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His head was completely bald and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a very shrewd feeling.

Zhou Ning smiled and showed him the West family's VIP card: "I need to buy some information."

Hearing this, the businessman stood up, took the VIP card, looked at it, and immediately smiled. He extended his hand to Zhou Ning and shook hands with him. "My name is Gino Macaulay. Come in and sit down, Mr. Wayne."

Through the West family's relationship, he vaguely knew some things about Zhou Ning and was quite in awe of him.

After closing the door, the noise outside suddenly subsided a lot.

After Zhou Ning sat down opposite him, Gino McCauley poured him a beer and asked, "What information do you need?"

"I need some information about the Braxton Clan Knight Family. The more detailed the better." Zhou Ning took off the ring and took another sip of beer.

"35 Victa." Jino gave him a meaningful look and quoted a price. "That's already a 8% discount. Gathering this information isn't easy."

"Deal." Zhou Ning took out four 4-victia bills from his wallet and handed them to the other party.

Jinuo took the money, counted it, nodded and said, "Very straightforward, wait a few minutes."

Kino hurriedly opened the door and turned to the other side.

Not long after, Jinuo pushed the door open again, holding a thick document bag and a 5-Victoria note in his hand. "You know, it doesn't contain any information about the West family. All the other families are there."

Zhou Ning nodded, took the money and the document bag, and opened it to examine it. It indeed contained detailed information about the Clan Training Knights. He put the document bag away, looked up at Jinuo, and asked thoughtfully, "One more question. I'd like to know if there are any gatherings of extraordinary people in Darkland? Or any places that specialize in trading extraordinary items?"

This was an idea Zhou Ning had harbored long ago. In his previous life's games, such gatherings existed, but they were generally closed to players. He had some otherworldly items, such as firearms and devil fruits, which would likely be popular among the superhuman community. Devil fruits, in particular, could be sold in small quantities, potentially yielding unexpected surprises. Besides that, he also wanted to see if he could find anything good.

"A gathering of extraordinary people? This information is given away for free." Kino smiled. He would also benefit from introducing the right people to the trade fair.

"Do you know the underground market in the old city? There's a gathering of Dockland's extraordinary people every Saturday night at 8 p.m. Go find Old Taylor, the manager of the underground market, after 7: p.m. and tell him I introduced you."

"Thank you very much, I understand." Zhou Ning said with a raised lip corner.

Today is Thursday, which means there will be a gathering of extraordinary people the day after tomorrow, and he is very much looking forward to it.

After saying goodbye to the wine and Wolverine Bar, Zhou Ning returned to the hotel room he had rented before, turned on the gas lamp, and couldn't wait to open the document bag and start reading.

There are a total of 25 pages of information about the Clan Knights family, which is introduced first. The family with the most pages is called Morton.

The clan leader is Isaac Morton, the Speaker of the Senate of the Kingdom of Braxton. His title is Earl. The clan motto is not clear yet, but it should be related to courage.

It shouldn't be him...

Zhou Ning continued turning the pages without thinking.

The second is the Turner family, located on the northern border. Their motto is "Cold brings clarity, ice and snow bring determination." This family made an appearance during the Elemental War, and their ability is to harness ice and snow.

Not him either.

It was not until he turned to the end that Zhou Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

Rivers Family: The patriarch is Harrison Rivers. The family motto is currently unknown, but it should be related to will.

It's him!

Zhou Ning remembered the name on the painting, became alert, and began to read his information carefully.

Harrison Rivers holds the title of Viscount and has a close relationship with King Charles VII of Braxton. He is a member of the House of Lords and President of the Legislative Council of the Kingdom of Braxton. He is currently promoting the Poor Law Amendment Bill.

Judging from the information alone, there is nothing wrong with this Harrison Rivers. He is a close friend of the king, a member of the House of Lords, and a political star. No one would have thought that he would be a high-ranking member of the Curse Cult.

Zhou Ning sighed silently. If only there were players around, they could do all the dirty work. Next, he'd have to focus on gathering information on Harrison Rivers. He had a vague feeling that the Curse God Cult and the Life Alchemy Society were working together to hatch a grand conspiracy.

After a moment's hesitation, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter of denunciation against Harrison Rivers. He did not sign his name and went to the denunciation box at the Ascetic Church two blocks away and dropped it in.

You’re welcome, my name is Lei Feng.

Early Friday morning, Zhou Ning woke up early and got out of bed.

Although he was reluctant, he had to face reality and go to school!

The University of Wake adopts a credit system. Students need to complete 140 credits to graduate successfully. At the same time, these credits can be used as currency at the University of Wake. The most common use is that students can acquire some high-end knowledge in addition to the knowledge taught in school.

As a student with excellent alchemy but weak physique, Zhou Ning's predecessor unfortunately failed in some subjects related to physical training.
