Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Chapter 630 Gambler

Zhou Ning looked at the requirements for upgrading the Gambler profession and found that to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, he needed to win a full 800 Victa chips, and to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, he needed to win a total of 1600 Victa chips. Zhou Ning directly placed a large amount of bets and won easily, upgrading his Gambler's level to level 3, and his total level reached level 101.

[Gambler class has been upgraded to level 3. You gain 2 points of luck and 3 points of free attributes.]

After reaching level 3, the Gambler profession provides you with a total of 6 luck points, which is very powerful. However, if you want to upgrade from level 3 to level 4, you need to win a total of 3200 Victa bets, which is several times more difficult. This is also a task that requires long-term accumulation.

At this time, at another gambling table, Richie Burke was placing roulette bets with several gamblers wearing thick pirate-style coats. Judging from the number of chips on his table, he had already won a lot. Zhou Ning immediately understood his winning routine. Using the Force to control the landing point of the roulette wheel, it was naturally impossible for him to lose.

Zhou Ning pulled the chair next to him over and sat down. Since it was still early, there were not many gamblers around. While placing bets, Zhou Ning quickly took a look at the gamblers nearby.

Besides providing a gambling venue, this place is also a gathering place for adventurers, sharing quests and information with several other adventurer associations on the island. There is a small bar on the right side of the hall, where many gamblers sit, drinking, and chatting away the time.

The gamblers at Richie Burke's table were probably all pirates. Judging from their clothing, they must have belonged to a large pirate group. The look they gave Richie Burke was already somewhat hostile.

After receiving the lucky blessing of 6 points, the speed at which I won the bets also became correspondingly faster, and before I knew it, I had increased the amount of winnings to 2100/3200.

Zhou Ning discovered that near the bar, there were several large blackboards with many high-demand and bizarre notices on them. Some of them wanted to seek protection, some wanted to recruit pirates on board, some offered a high reward for the head of a demigod, and some wanted to form a pioneering group, recruit powerful meteorologists and historians, and explore the southern island chain.

Especially the task of forming a pioneering team. Zhou Ning saw a total of four or five similar tasks, all located in Rhodes Island and released in the past few days.

Zhou Ning guessed that this might be related to the ruins of Rhodes Island. Should he go over and explore?

I took a look at the person who posted the tasks. I found that two of the tasks were posted by the same person, a man named Lao Lao Rui who lived in a hotel on the island.

Another person who issued the task is Nathaniel's Archaeological Association. The task was issued not long ago. If I am not mistaken, it should be issued by the freeloader Rick Green and his men. The person who issued the task lives not far from here.

After about half an hour, the number of customers in the casino increased significantly, and Zhou Ning finally got some useful information.

He couldn't help but perk up and listened patiently.

At a table not far from him, three people were sitting and talking about some things that happened on the island.

"There have been a number of disappearances on the island in recent days, concentrated on the west side. We only saw a large amount of blood at the scene, and we don't know what exactly happened."

"According to the official statement, it was most likely a cult's sacrificial activity. You have no idea how bloody the scene was. The police who arrived at the scene were terrified."

"...Poseidon, I hope these spate of disappearances will end soon."

Zhou Ning frowned slightly as he heard each sentence of conversation. He instinctively felt that this matter should be related to Archbishop Edward.

I had heard Smith Hall talk about this part before.

After listening for a long time, Zhou Ning initially learned that the location of the most recent disappearance case was at 145 Kerwell Street nearby.

After saying hello to Rich Burke, Zhou Ning put on his hat and went straight to 145 Kerwell Street.

As he walked through the door, he instinctively sensed an extremely strong smell of blood. Even after cleaning, there were still patches of strong blood stains on the ground.

Zhou Ning thought for a moment, walked around, and after confirming the situation, he took out special materials such as moonstone, mithril, and tranquilizing flower from his inventory and began to arrange the spiritual ceremony.

After being promoted to a demigod, he acquired a vast amount of knowledge about mysticism, including this kind of spiritual ritual.

It detects relevant memories and responds to them on its own.

Zhou Ning lit up a number of strange candles, and the flames suddenly rose more than three inches high, emitting bursts of green smoke.

Zhou Ning suddenly felt his thoughts begin to diverge and then slowly settle, as if he had arrived in the spiritual world.

In his field of vision, he saw the remaining spirit of the victim, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, wandering around with a blank expression on his face.

Zhou Ning saw Archbishop Edward, wearing a white priest robe and with a calm face, enter the room through the window, and then slowly walked towards him with an unfathomable smile.

As expected, it was Archbishop Edward who did it... Zhou Ning shook his head and sighed. If he guessed correctly, the enemy was likely lurking on this island. If he had to fight him, he would be under great pressure.

Zhou Ning glanced at the task bar. At this moment, the players had already met up with Hawkeye in the Civic Square and completed the task of communicating with Hawkeye. Some were doing their daily tasks. Zhou Ning thought about it and issued a task to find Archbishop Edward on Yukali Island. Never underestimate the power of the players. As long as the other party is on Yukali Island, it should be easy to complete the task.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Ning knocked on other people's rooms. Ignatius Woods and Smith Hall were both out, leaving him alone.

The huge hotel seemed deserted.

He checked the time and saw it was dinner time, so he went to the counter and ordered a butter-baked steak and mushroom soup.

Zhou Ning put the food on the table, sat down on the sofa and ate slowly. These seemingly simple things were his dinner.

After a while, the hotel door opened and everyone returned. Ignatius Woods walked silently behind, carrying a suitcase. Rich Burke kept chatting and laughing with him, bragging about his recent wins. Ignatius Woods had a gruff personality and was practically silent, so only Rich Burke could get him to react. To the players, this was called CP.

While Zhou Ning was heading to the casino, the group went out to the streets to gather intelligence and do some shopping. They might stay on the island for a long time.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone saw Zhou Ning sitting on the sofa, drinking mushroom soup in big gulps.

Zhou Ning raised his eyes and glanced, "Are you back?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

Zhou Ning looked at Smith Hall and said in a deep voice: "I just went to the island and visited a crime scene. I confirmed that those disappearances were all caused by Archbishop Edward. Next, we will focus on investigating this aspect.
