Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Zhou Ning still had to go to school from time to time in the new semester. At least he could not skip the three alchemy classes and physical training classes every week.

"This feels a lot like a comic book plot. It seems like the ones who save the city are usually students?"

He laughed and shook his head, opened the door and went to the bathroom next door to tidy up his appearance, then took down a black and white student uniform from the coat rack. The white shirt was straight and the black jacket was close-fitting, looking very handsome.

When he was dressed and walked out of the room, John had already gotten up. He was a little different from Zhou Ning. The original body only lagged behind in physical training class, but John failed all the subjects. The only subject he passed was the open-book exam in religion. He was a complete failure.

At this time, he was holding a thick stack of papers in his hand and greeted Zhou Ning: "Good morning, Wayne."

"Good morning." Zhou Ning lowered his head and angrily rubbed the head of John's son Polly. He looked at the stack of papers with some curiosity: "What is this?"

"This is my genius plan. Would you like to take a look?" John shook the paper in his hand proudly.

"Let's talk about it later." Zhou Ning opened his pocket watch and took a look. It was 7:43. He took out the umbrella he rented last night from the umbrella stand in the hallway and went downstairs with John.

According to the weather forecast stick, it was supposed to rain all day today, but when Zhou Ning left the dormitory, it started snowing first. The heavy snow dyed the entire campus silver-white.

Zhou Ning was already accustomed to such changeable weather. He looked up at the sky, without an umbrella, and followed the crowd towards the teaching building.

The Alchemy Department is a major department at Wake Forest University, with a total of more than 260 senior students, so it occupies an independent teaching building. When Zhou Ning arrived at the classroom, he was immediately shocked by the densely packed heads in the classroom.

The classroom was quite lively at the moment. He saw his friend, Fatty Fred, playing a card game called Weather Cards with someone else. The ante was 1 Roshen. This was a special card game from the Apocalypse World. The rules were similar to Texas Hold'em, but the weather cards were suited to various weather conditions. The Joker and Jack represented a thunderstorm and a snowstorm, respectively, which was quite outrageous.

"Wayne, John, there's a vacant seat here!" After seeing Zhou Ning and the others, Fred's eyes lit up and he hurriedly called them over.

Not long after, John also joined the game. Zhou Ning was not interested in the weather cards. After sitting down, he picked up the newspaper next to him and started reading.

"Baron Kimberly's exploration team has made progress in the development of the Puyun Mesa..."

"The Legislative Council of the Kingdom of Braxton is considering repealing the Corn Act..."

Zhou Ning was flipping through the Docklands Post when he suddenly saw this piece of news.

"...A series of murders has occurred in the Trade Zone. Seven innocent people, including Mickey Cumberland and Blake Mir, have been brutally murdered. The murderer, Richard Pesa, owner of the Golden Oak Herbal Shop, is currently wanted. It's understood he has a history of assault. I believe justice will prevail and the murderer will be brought to justice."

After reading each word over and over again, Zhou Ning fell silent.

It seems that Richard Pesa and his father did not follow their own advice in the end and chose to seek a solution from the Sun Guardians. In all likelihood, distortion has already occurred.

It's a pity, Richard is actually a good person, and one of the few friends he has in this world. Zhou Ning sighed, his mood suddenly depressed.

Not long after, Professor Weasley walked in with a lesson plan, and the classroom suddenly became quiet.

The morning class was an applied alchemy course taught by Professor Weasley. Almost all of the content was aimed at alchemists below the intermediate level. As an expert alchemist, Zhou Ning finally understood what it meant to feel like a thorn in the back, a fishbone stuck in the throat, and sitting on pins and needles. He even heard Jasmine yawn in his mind.

Out of boredom, Zhou Ning simply picked up John's plan and started reading it.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I have to say that although John is a spendthrift, he still has something. His plan book describes the design ideas for a chess game.

There are four players in total, all of whom play the role of meteorologists. Their initial health is 20. They take turns to advance according to the number of dice points, and obtain spell materials, weather cards and follower cards through the grid prompts on the board. When two players meet in the same grid, a battle begins. The outcome is determined by drawing cards from the cards they own. Once the health reaches zero, they are eliminated.

Oh my god, isn't this the prototype of Magic: The Gathering? Zhou Ning couldn't help but look at John with new eyes. He pushed his hand and asked in astonishment, "Is this what you came up with?"

"How is that possible?" John shook his head and lowered his voice. "I bought this with my own money, so of course it's mine now. What? You think it's good too?"

Sure enough, I overestimated John... Zhou Ning's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't keep his smile. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's really good, but why does it have to be designed as a chess game?"

"What else can we do?" John asked.

"You could set it up as a two-player card game, with only a few basic cards at the beginning, and rare cards can only be obtained by opening booster packs, like this one."

At this point, Zhou Ning suddenly had a special idea, so he changed his planned words, took out the card with the mini mechanical warrior sealed on it, put it on the table, picked up a pen, and wrote ATK/700, DEF/600 in the lower right corner.

"Look at this card. ATK stands for attack, and DEF stands for defense. Let's say we're both summoners, and we summon this monster to battle. Its initial HP is set at 8000. When we defeat the opponent's monster, the corresponding HP is deducted. Once the HP reaches , we're eliminated."

Next, Zhou Ning briefly explained how to play Yu-Gi-Oh and gave the design direction.

John listened, his confusion turning into a sudden realization. Then, with a look of excitement on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "I think we can give it a try... You write down the rules of this card game, and you don't have to do anything else. You can own 40% of the shares. How about that?"

Zhou Ning: ...

His original target price was 15 to 20 percent, because all he offered was an idea, which didn't require any money or effort. Writing a set of game rules wouldn't take much time either. Even though he couldn't remember many of the rules clearly, couldn't he just make them up?

In the end, John doubled his money. Now he finally understood how John lost money in business...

"Deal." Zhou Ning agreed without hesitation. As long as John didn't mess around, he was confident he wouldn't lose money.

After the card version of Yu-Gi-Oh is made, I can also find a way to make a real duel game.

Professor Weasley's class lasted two hours. When it finally ended, John couldn't wait to drag Zhou Ning back to the dormitory to sign the contract. But at this time, Professor Weasley came over with a folder and said, "Stewell, come to my office and talk."

Zhou Ning gave John an apologetic look and followed Professor Weasley to his office. He put down the materials in his hand and looked at Zhou Ning: "Stewell, I remember you are still 12 credits away from graduation?"

"Yes." Zhou Ning nodded. After failing the physical training course last semester, he indeed only had 128 credits.

"It's like this." Professor Weasley pondered for a moment and said, "The school will have an academic exchange event soon. The headmaster attaches great importance to this. Are you interested in participating?"
