Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Chapter 888 Leandro's Letter

Seeing Zhou Ning walking towards him, everyone present greeted him one after another and saluted. Zhou Ning greeted them one by one. When he saw Esdeath, he saw that the little girl lifted her skirt rather shyly and asked him:

"Are you the King of Angels now?"

"Yes."

After seeing Zhou Ning confirm with a smile, she said seriously:

"I will definitely catch up with you."

This girl is very energetic! However, it is not so easy for her to catch up with me. Zhou Ning was not surprised, nodded, and encouraged:

"I am looking forward."

Walking up to Leonardo, Zhou Ning looked up at him and asked:

"You had something to ask me just now?"

Leonardo looked around and sighed dejectedly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I want to know the current situation in Darkland. Are we about to go to war with the Church of the Goddess of Life?"

Zhou Ning was slightly startled. He had not yet publicized this news in the church. The church only knew that the Starry Sky Church was currently in alliance with the War God Church and the Ascetic Church.

However, not deliberately publicizing it and concealing it are two different things. Since the other party asked, Zhou Ning sighed and had already made up his mind. He took this opportunity to make this matter public:

"Yes, we will go to war with the Church of the Goddess of Life in two days. Considering that there may be righteous gods among the enemies this time, I originally planned to announce this matter tomorrow. How did you know this?"

Is this… the main quest really coming? XB perked up and quickly pricked up his ears, listening carefully.

Leonardo exhaled, raised his right hand, rubbed his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"My father told me. He wrote me a letter saying he had found a way to resurrect my mother and brother. As long as the God he believed in could return."

Leonardo fumbled in his arms, handed an opened letter to Zhou Ning, and said with difficulty:

"This letter was sent nearly a week ago, but I have a rather ominous feeling now. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Zhou Ning took the letter, quickly glanced through it, and his expression changed slightly:

"My son, I see you in person.

"I haven't seen you for half a year. I wonder how you've been doing. I received your previous letter and heard that you've fulfilled your long-cherished wish and become a demigod. I'm delighted. I wish you further success in your career.

"Since your mother passed away, my condition has deteriorated considerably. I can no longer see with one eye. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I wake up with a start, and when I think of your mother, I can't help but weep and sigh, feeling anxious and uneasy.

"But not long ago, I received a revelation from God, who entrusted me with a sacred mission. If I can help Him return to reality, an unprecedented new world will be ushered in, a world of abundance and happiness. Your mother and brother will be resurrected in this new world, and our family can be reunited there. My son, this is your father's promise to you. Even if I die, it will be a worthy death."

"The road ahead is difficult and dangerous. I don't know whether this journey will be successful or whether what I'm doing is right, so I can't let you get involved. But don't worry about me. God is watching over me and surrounding me."

"The only thing I'm worried about is you, my son. You're my greatest pride, and your strength far surpasses mine, but for a father, perhaps his son will always need protection (laughs)."

"If possible, I hope you can pursue your dream. You were in such a hurry that I forgot to tell you that your wish to become Weathering With You is great."

"Finally, if you ever get into a fight with the church, and I mean just in case, remember, no matter what, do not allow yourself to fall asleep or even dream. It's very dangerous."

"Your father: Matthew Pesa on July 1453, 7."

It can be seen that old Pesa really loves his wife and son. Zhou Ning put away the letter with a heavy heart. He thought of the two elderly couples in the Golden Oak Herbal Shop. Richard Pesa, who was still alive, took him to visit them. He also remembered that at the steps of the herbal shop, the still very immature Leonardo and his friends were playing the game "Weathering with You", and then were taken back by Richard Pesa by the ears.

He thought for a moment, reached out and took out the small torn book and spread it out. Zhou Ning also wanted to give Leonardo an answer.

Zhou Ning materialized a pen and wrote on it:

"Do you know what's happening with Matthew Pesa now?"

The little book was silent for six or seven seconds, and then lines of text appeared on it:

"Great Master, Matthew Pesa has fallen into madness and insanity. He is now the organizer and leader of the rebellion against the Darklan Alchemy Shop and all herbal shops. His exact location is obscured by the mist of fate and cannot be found."

Zhou Ning handed the contents of the small, tattered book to Leonardo and patted him on the shoulder.

“…” There were only two lines of text written on the small tattered book, but Leonardo read it for a long time. Then, he raised his right hand, rubbed his eyes, covered his face, and did not let go for a long time.

A lot of tears and snot seeped out from between his fingers, and he didn't care about his image at all.

The players beside them were itching to get over it, not knowing what had happened to make the cheerful protagonist so upset. They even felt a sense of empathy.

Judging from their dialogue, it should be related to Leonardo's father, but the details can only be imagined. These doubts can only be answered when the next episode of the series is broadcast.

About two minutes later, Leonardo raised his head, exhaled, looked at Zhou Ning and said:

"Your Majesty, I must participate in this war against the Church of the Goddess of Life. I must personally confirm my father's condition."

"Don't worry about me. I'm already very close to being an angel. This is also a necessary experience. Maybe if I can come back alive this time, I can try to become an angel."

"Okay." Zhou Ning stared at Leandro and agreed to his request. This was a son's awakening, and Zhou Ning would not stop him.

"I want to join in too," Jasmine said in a cold voice. "This war is a religious war launched by the Ascetic Church, the Starry Sky Church, and the God of War Church against the Goddess of Life Church. I'm a member of the Starry Sky Church and a former member of the Ascetic Church. There's no reason for me to miss out."

"We want to participate too!" For some reason, the players inexplicably felt a surge of epic excitement, as if they were witnessing gaming history, and they hurriedly raised their hands and shouted.

This... Zhou Ning pondered. Originally, he didn't plan to let Jasmine and others participate in this decisive battle because it was too dangerous. But now it doesn't matter. With the participation of the War God Church and the Ascetic Church, the danger is actually equal.

Even if you stay home and do nothing, your life will still be in danger once the Life Spirit Goddess wins and settles the accounts. It is safer to have your own care and share the burden with others.

The decisive battle was drawing near. Was it time to mobilize the players and begin the second door-opening mission? Most players had already reached the Super Rank, and their role as cannon fodder was becoming increasingly apparent. I wouldn't be so foolish as to give up my greatest advantage.

Furthermore, after becoming the Angel King, the level cap is unlocked to 140, leaving a significant gap in resources. Harvesting the last of the recent gains and then striving for another wave of upgrades is no problem. Meanwhile, players spend money, increasing their strength, making the role of cannon fodder more pronounced. They can also participate in the main storyline and reap the joys of the game—a win-win for all.

(Note: I forgot to mention the level cap increase in the previous chapter, so I’ll add it here.)
