Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

After purchasing this gun, the next few transactions were all magic-related transactions that Zhou Ning was not very interested in.

The only bright spot was a spellbook of Spear of the Earth, which was eventually exchanged for 400 Vekta and bought by a fat man in the corner.

"Spear of Earth?" I remembered that this earth magic was exclusive to the Earth Temple, only found in their Transcendental Team, the Earth Ring, or within the Earth Temple. If I was right, the one selling the spells must be someone from the Earth Temple.

Zhou Ning watched these transactions coldly. Spellcasters were the main consumers of the transactions. Any slightly better extraordinary item would cost no less than 200 Vekta.

What particularly caught his eye was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses being sold by a blonde woman at five o'clock. These were another unknown artifact, capable of identifying hostile targets. It was truly remarkable. But the price was even more remarkable. The starting bid was 800 Victa, but after just a few rounds, it had soared to a staggering 3200 Victa. He had no choice but to give up.

Still poor, Zhou Ning sighed, feeling quite envious.

In the end, the glasses were sold for 4700 VAT, a sky-high price.

After the deal was concluded, a young man wearing a gray-white mask walked to the center of the venue at 7 o'clock, placed a black wooden box on the table, and said, "I have a small wooden cube from the Gudala Weather Tide. If you can open it, there might be something good in it."

"I want to exchange him for something that can permanently increase physical fitness, or something that can allow a person to enter the extraordinary realm. Items or formulas are fine."

According to Zhou Ning's judgment, this should be a young man who wants to become a transcendent.

Zhou Ning noticed that the surface of this small cube was composed of many grids, a bit like a scrambled high-level Rubik's Cube, with many complex patterns and symbols on it.

"Hey, this looks like a Modoric Cube?" Jasmine's cold voice sounded in her mind.

"Do you know him?" Zhou Ning asked curiously.

"You know something, didn't I tell you? Besides being a priest, enchanter, meteorologist, and alchemist, I'm also an amateur folklorist," said Jasmine.

"Great." Zhou Ning gave her a thumbs up in his heart.

As long as you can roughly know what the complete graphics look like, and spend some time, it should only be a matter of time before the cube is restored. This box is worth a gamble.

Zhou Ning's thoughts raced as he asked, "Will you accept Victor's offer for this box?"

The young man shook his head without hesitation: "Sorry, I'm not short of money."

There was nothing that could be done. Zhou Ning could only give up with regret, shook his head and chuckled, then sat back down.

The young man rejected Zhou Ning. Seeing that the place was silent and no one made a bid, he had no choice but to sit back in disappointment.

Later, someone sold a batch of ancient jade materials for 70 Victa, but an extraordinary item called Yongming Lantern was sold at a very high price of 1200 Victa, so no one was interested and the transaction failed.

More than ten minutes later, it was finally Zhou Ning's turn. He stood in front of the counter, took out the Devil Fruit, and said in a deep voice, "This is a rare item called a Devil Fruit. After consumption, it can give the eater powerful special abilities."

"More importantly, it won't conflict with any class. And the success rate for strengthening it is 100%. I'd like to trade it for a rare alchemy formula, or I can sell it to Viktar."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around him suddenly became agitated.

According to Zhou Ning, the value of this thing is undoubtedly far higher than the super potion, and even some spellcasters are tempted by it.

"Can people with super powers use it? Are there any side effects?"

People kept asking questions all around.

"It's usable by people with super powers. The only side effect is that you can't swim. Also... does it count as unpalatable?"

Looking at the noisy crowd, Zhou Ning smiled and answered patiently.

"I'm interested in this devil fruit, but I need a scale to identify it." The hooded man who bought the gold-rimmed glasses stood up and said.

"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded. To be honest, he was also very interested in the value of the devil fruit. He wondered what the scale estimated it to be.

Zhou Ning placed the devil fruit on the left side of the scale, and the hooded man placed a stack of banknotes on the right side. Then, the devil fruit pushed the scale down suddenly.

"It should be real, and worth far more than 500 Victar!"

The middle-aged man who was in charge of presiding over the meeting was startled at this time and stared at Zhou Ning with an inexplicable look.

The Scales of Doom can distinguish the true from the false. If the description does not match the reality, it will be judged to be worthless, and the current situation will not occur.

After a brief silence, I heard the hooded man say, "Devil Fruit, 700 Victa."

"750 Victa." Someone immediately added 50.

"800 Vectra." The hooded man responded immediately.

"900 Victa." At this time, the young man who sold the wooden box also joined the battle.

"950 Vectra."

Contrary to Zhou Ning's expectations, the price was raised to 1020 Victors at a rapid speed, and then stagnated.

After hearing the latest offer, the young man was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Zhou Ning: "I have a new proposal. I will use this wooden box..."

Zhou Ning shook his head and interrupted him: "I'm sorry, I don't think this wooden box is worth 1000 Vectra."

"This box is worth at least 400 Vectae. I can add another 600 Vectae in exchange for this devil fruit." The young man said loudly.

"Okay, deal." Zhou Ning thought for a moment and nodded.

Giving the hooded man an apologetic look, the two of them came to the scale and Zhou Ning placed the devil fruit on it.

This time, the scales tipped slightly to the other side, but not much.

Neither side cared about this detail. Seeing the other happily put away the devil fruit, Zhou Ning sat back in his seat and carefully observed the wooden box in his hand.

It is indeed similar to the modern Rubik's Cube, but the difficulty lies in that unlike the modern Rubik's Cube, all sides are the same color, or there is a reference pattern; instead, it is composed of symbols on four sides with completely unknown meanings, which makes it difficult to restore.

Looking at the more than 200 blocks densely packed on the big block, Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

After Zhou Ning, the following transactions were uneventful. Zhou Ning made another move and spent 70 Viktoria to buy an expert-level alchemy blueprint.

This is a blueprint called [Flying Potion]. After taking it, a person can become as light as a swallow and have a gliding effect when jumping from a high place.

The effect is not bad. In the previous game, this was one of the top five potions in player sales.

After all transactions were completed, the party ended with the announcement by the owner of the Scales of Doom.

Just like when they came in, the people here will leave one by one through another secret passage.

Zhou Ning was the third one to leave. After walking out of the secret passage, he carefully checked his surroundings. After making sure that no one was following him, he took off his mask and walked towards his alchemy laboratory.

……

Inside the alchemy lab, he impatiently locked the door, pulled out his mini-robot warrior card, and chose to use it. A puff of mist suddenly appeared, and when it dissipated, a half-human-sized robot warrior suddenly appeared before him. Zhou Ning took out the M1 Garand rifle from its hand and placed the Pirate General Victor's flintlock pistol inside.

With a click, the mini mechanical warrior clenched the flintlock pistol in his hand.
