Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Chapter 194 School Library

This trip into the Weather Tide had its ups and downs. While I'd gained a rather impressive unknown artifact ring, I'd lost a life-saving trump card. Even worse, the intense fighting had drained all of my nearly 600 rounds of special ammunition, and I'd also used up two talismans worth 300 Vekta. The losses were devastating.

Despite his frantic suggestion that the cost of the bullets needed to be reimbursed, Edwin didn't seem to understand Zhou Ning's meaning at all. He just asked Zhou Ning if he wanted to take the carriage back to school.

It's simply too much.

After a little thought, Zhou Ning decided to follow the expedition team back to the University of Wick.

Because I have a D-level mission, which will be gradually upgraded to C-level [Participate in Expedition], which has not been completed yet, I guess I have to go back to Wick University to submit the mission.

Looking at the two players who were still following him, Zhou Ning thought for a moment and wrote several new tasks, throwing them to Qingbai Yejiu and Haicheng.

The task is to find a way to find the whereabouts of the players captured by the Cursed Cult and inform them of their findings. The task can also be shared with others. There is a forum between players, so it is not too easy to find other players.

These two people are potential players chosen by Zhou Ning. He asked them to help him do some tasks that are more difficult for him to do. This can not only unleash their potential but also save his time, killing two birds with one stone.

After sending off the two players, Zhou Ning followed the expedition team and returned to Vic University in a carriage that had been prepared.

On the campus, Zhou Ning could see many students sitting in groups of two or three on the stone benches and round tables on the roadside, dueling with Yu-Gi-Oh cards in their hands.

From time to time, you can hear sounds like "Draw a card!" and "My turn".

"John's promotion is very good..." Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh silently as he watched this scene.

Since several students and professors died in this expedition and some incredible discoveries were made, as soon as Edwin returned to Wick University, he took Zhou Ning and hurried to report to the president.

……

In the principal's office, Wake University's president, Nielan Wittes, was sitting in a chair reading a magic book. He was a powerful arcane master with white hair and beard. As soon as Zhou Ning approached him, he sensed an extremely powerful and mysterious aura from him.

Seeing the two people come in, he raised his head, stared at them and said, "Edwin? You came back suddenly, did something happen during the expedition?"

"...Yes." Edwin answered without hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Nie Lan Wittes asked, rubbing his forehead.

"Two things. One is that many people died while we were exploring weather tides. Among them were Professor Lucas and Professor Hawthorne," said Edwin.

Nielan Wittes sighed and said:

"A great man once said that truth, though bitter, is nevertheless clear. Sacrifice is inevitable for the sake of truth and knowledge. What's one more thing?"

Edwin described it in detail: "We discovered a temple of the god of death in the weather tide. In the temple, we encountered Sir Archibald in his undead state. He attacked us and almost wiped out our entire army there."

"Sir Archibald?" Nielan Waites frowned and said, "Are you sure it's really Sir Archibald himself?"

"Yes," Edwin replied affirmatively, "I'm absolutely sure."

Then, at Edwin's suggestion, Zhou Ning recounted the entire expedition, especially the battle between him and Archibald, which had consumed many precious bullets and spells.

Nie Lan Wittes didn't know if he understood his crazy suggestion, but he listened very carefully, asking for details from time to time. Finally, when Zhou Ning took out Archibald's rune sword, Nie Lan took it, examined it for a while, and nodded gently. "I understand. The school will appreciate your efforts and help. Can I keep this sword for the time being? I will submit it to the Holy Temple of the Earth Temple and see what they think."

"No problem." Zhou Ning nodded indifferently. With Frostmourne, this sword was really of little use to him, and he couldn't sell it, so he might as well give it away as a favor.

"Okay, thank you very much." Nie Lan Wittes thanked solemnly.

At this time, the panel finally gave a prompt:

[Complete the C-rank mission [Participate in the Expedition], and you gain 66000 experience points.]

[Vic University's favorability towards you increases by 1900 points]

University of Wake Forest: Respect (4900/6000)

[The Knowledge Council's favorability towards you has increased by 1200 points!]

[Knowledge Parliament: Friendly (1200/1300)]

[You have the opportunity to select 3 rare recipes in the internal library of Vic University.]

The rewards are quite good, including the favorability of a secret organization: Knowledge Council.

This secret organization did not appear much in the previous life. The only impression Zhou Ning had was that this secret organization was a loose organization that believed in the God of Knowledge and specialized in teaching people knowledge. It was mostly composed of professors and scholars. The huge steel battleship now docked at the military port in the west of the city was repaired by members of the Knowledge Council. In the previous life, this huge steel battleship played an outstanding role in the war with the walrus and Rivendell, and it was quite impressive.

The three rare recipes were also a very impressive reward. Zhou Ning had long coveted the school's expert-level alchemy recipes.

Zhou Ning's alchemy skills have always been stuck at the expert level. In fact, his proficiency has already reached the advanced master level, but he is stuck because he needs to master 12 expert-level alchemy formulas.

After upgrading to Master Alchemist, you can not only start making ultimate super potions, but also unlock a new specialty. The level of the secondary alchemist can also be unlocked to level 30 for further improvement.

After more than a month of accumulation, he now has mastered 6 expert-level alchemy drawings. If he can choose three more formulas, he will be only one step away from promotion.

I just don't know how to claim this reward?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Nielan Wittes say, "As a reward...how about this, Edwin, you take Sternwell to the inner library and let him pick out a few rare pieces of knowledge as a reward."

Sure enough, the rewards given by this game are so coincidental.

Zhou Ning pulled the corner of his mouth and thought.

"Let's go." After leaving the principal's office, Edwin took two umbrellas from his office and handed one to Zhou Ning.

The two came to the southeast side of the campus and turned onto a secluded road.

There is also an alchemy array here that is similar to the one in the Witsel Church Square, but on the contrary, it is filled with fog and rain.

"This path is the only way to get into the school, and usually only the best graduates or core members of the school are eligible to enter."

Edwin said, "Don't be fooled by the simple layout here. Unless you are well versed in meteorology or are familiar with the weather changes here, it will be difficult to enter smoothly."

Zhou Ning nodded. Some players had come here in his previous life, and he also knew about some things in the school's internal library. There are many rare and limited formulas stored there, which usually require a lot of credits to exchange.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ning chose to stay at the University of Wake Forest.
