Chapter 633: Crossing Simulator 4.0
After showing off his strong financial resources and purchasing this quasi-miracle item, Zhou Ning still received greedy glances from many participants as expected.
He knew that his vest had defeated the King of Lavidus and that he owned a ghost ship, but perhaps this was the nature of pirates.
Zhou Ning glanced around nonchalantly, revealing a hint of domineering aura, which made everyone around him fall silent.
The gains from this item are enough to equal a high-quality simulation, and this secret gathering is not in vain.
After this blockbuster deal was completed, the entire transaction was almost over.
Zhou Ning sold a few redundant equipment and a batch of solar potions to recover some health, and the total amount was 45000 Vekta. Overall, the loss was not much. Ian bought another piece of light-type extraordinary material.
Wait, last time he bought focusing crystals and rainbow stones, this time he bought siphoning life crystals. If I remember correctly, these seemed to be some of the necessary materials for the ceremony of demigods being promoted to angels that were related to the light or life system.
In the end, Zhou Ning actually had an unexpected gain. He spent 5200 Victa to "pick up" an unknown strange object called "Gambler's Dice". It can determine the good or bad luck of an event by throwing the dice. The success probability is related to the luck value. It will also tell you if the judgment fails, but the price is a permanent -1 to your luck.
This thing is difficult for ordinary people to bear, so there are not many competitors, except Zhou Ning. The first level of the gambler profession is enough for him to withstand two failures.
When it was over, the second round of trading began, which was open to senior members who had attended the meeting more than five times. Although he was very curious, Zhou Ning still got up and left the trading venue.
As Ian finished speaking, the participants' ability to change their body shapes seemed to be taken back at once, and they returned to their normal size. Zhou Ning followed the crowd through the light gate again, jumped back onto the Flying Dutchman, and returned to Yukali Island in the evening breeze.
Somewhere on the dock of Yukali Island, Zhou Ning switched back to Wayne Stewell's black windbreaker and took a silent breath: "What a fruitful day."
Not only did I get a new main profession, but I also got three very good unknown items. In a sense, I was extremely lucky.
He identified the location of the "Blue Wind" Hotel and walked towards the hotel. When he passed a crossroads called Serai Street, he found a small stall selling ukulele rolls on the road. A middle-aged man with gray hair and wearing a local indigenous robe was stir-frying food there. He didn't expect that the snack industry in this other world was so prosperous that it was still open at four in the morning.
This thing is a specialty of the Yukali Peninsula. It is mainly made of beef and chicken, with some crystal algae used for alchemy in the middle. It smells very fragrant.
As a foodie, Zhou Ning subconsciously stopped and ordered a beef roll with some cheese, and a cup of black tea to help him feel less greasy.
But Zhou Ning almost vomited before he took a bite. It was too smelly. He forgot that as a former gathering place for werewolves, the beef in Motley Peninsula is usually not bled.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a man with a book under his arm and a straight back in the distance from the corner of his eye. He looked vaguely familiar.
With the spiritual intuition of a demigod, he quickly sensed the other party's identity.
Freeloader Rick Green. Zhou Ning wasn't surprised by his presence here. He'd learned during the day that he'd been on business on the island. He'd even suspected he was Karl Robbins after a body swap, but that seemed unlikely. Based on his understanding of him, Little Broken Book wouldn't appear so easily without being fully prepared.
Or has he already joined forces with that unknown entity and made full preparations?
It's not impossible. He was watching the Easter egg at the end of "Apocalypse Prediction" and seemed to have overlooked some details...
Zhou Ning frowned, opened the forum, found the episode he had watched before in the Apocalypse Forecast Discussion Area, and directly scrolled the progress bar to the end.
Although the last man's face was backlit and his facial features were completely unclear, after zooming in, he found that he was wearing a badge of the same color on his chest. Although the badge was deliberately blurred by the computer, Zhou Ning could still recognize the words "Sifalik Archaeological Association".
"Now, Rick Green, whom I just met, is becoming more and more suspicious..."
Zhou Ning muttered silently to himself, feeling a strong urge to immediately confirm whether that person was Karl Robbins, lest he wait too long and face unexpected events. But reason immediately stopped him from doing so. What if this was a trap?
At this time, many extraordinary people dressed as police officers arrived one after another. What surprised Zhou Ning was that Smith Hall and Elsa were also among them.
"Why are you here too?" Smith Hall saw Zhou Ning at this time and asked in surprise.
"Just passing by." Zhou Ning said, shaking the beef roll in his hand.
After questioning, Zhou Ning learned that there were several more disappearance cases on this street, but the methods were somewhat different. There were a lot of body parts left on the ground, which was very likely a copycat crime.
"No, it's probably not a copycat crime. Could it be that the other party's strength is gradually recovering, and their desire for flesh and blood has decreased?" Zhou Ning took a breath, suppressed his emotions, and pointed out the direction of investigation for them. "Go investigate the Sifalik Archaeological Association. They currently have a pioneering team stationed on the island. I can't go into too much detail, but I suspect one of them is Carl Robbins."
I made many mistakes in the previous Docklands tragedy. The biggest problem was that I was arrogant and timid. I didn't dare to cooperate with the authorities and always suspected that there might be a leak on their side. This led to the irreparable tragedy.
Of course, now that I have another chance to face off against Xiao Poshu, I cannot be reckless. I must make all preparations in advance and be prepared to cooperate sincerely with my allies!
Zhou Ning's mouth corners slowly curled up as he made up his mind.
…………
After saying goodbye to Smith Hall, Zhou Ning jogged back to the hotel. After returning to the room, he did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats, completing his daily secret exercise routine. Perhaps it was because of his new gambler's talent, but his luck was still good this time, triggering the effect of [Breaking the Limiter].
[You have completed a round of Secret Training (God-level) and triggered the effect of breaking the limiter. Your physical fitness has been randomly improved. Your agility has increased by 4 points, your strength has increased by 2 points, and your stamina has increased by 2 points.]
Zhou Ning was fascinated by the idea that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to improve. He went to the bathroom to take a shower. Zhou Ning only wore a bath towel and lay comfortably on the bed. As he expected, after 8 days of updates, the time travel simulator was finally updated.
Zhou Ning was cheered up, and taking advantage of his good luck, he couldn't wait to click in!
"Welcome to Time Travel Simulator 4.0!"
As soon as Zhou Ning opened the time travel simulator, he was stunned.
