wind.

Strong winds blew, dry and with a hint of blood.

"I remembered... this place is very close to a demon stronghold... it should be the west side of the Wood and Stone Desert back then."

Liu Ping withdrew his gaze and looked at the two communication talismans in his hands.

He stretched out two fingers, picked up one of them, and activated his spiritual power.

Zhao Chanyi's voice suddenly sounded:

"Where are you? Contact me immediately after returning to the world of cultivation!"

...It's that cat demon.

Because of her curiosity, she became a free card, wandering around in the wilderness, and was finally dragged back to the world of practice.

Liu Ping sighed and asked: "Yana, how can we untie the divine power line on that cat?"

"You collect her as a card, and then find the saint of Lady Pain. If you two take action together, the line of divine power will naturally dissipate." Yana said.

Saint...

Yes, my deputy is a saint.

Liu Ping called up his deputy and looked at it again.

"Card: Saint."

"Professional card, cleric."

"Using this card, you will automatically obtain the following professional skills."

"God's Shepherd:"

"The more people who are willing to follow you, the stronger the cards you draw will become."

In this world of cultivation, there are also some saints who belong to the Lady of Pain.

When he first woke up, in the underground cave, he saw the saint sending people to lead two practitioners to join him.

- They prey on the practitioners' fears.

After all, no one wants to turn into a monster after death.

In this way, the more people follow the saint, the stronger the saint will be.

For Ms. Pain, those characters that she can see will be captured into cards; while the ordinary people who she doesn't like will be handed over to the saints under her to enhance the strength of the saints.

——It really makes the most of the world of cultivation.

Liu Ping thought for a while and said to the messenger: "I'm in a small town on the west side of the Wood and Stone Desert. Come find me."

After saying that, with a rush of spiritual power, he let the messenger talisman fly away.

There is one communication charm left.

Liu Ping activated it, and Li Changxue's voice suddenly came from the communication talisman:

"I have advanced to the level of Sword Immortal. Now I have something to discuss with you. Please reply quickly."

He has become a swordsman.

How awesome!

Liu Ping sighed in admiration, told the communication talisman where he was, and also let the communication talisman fly away.

"Liu Ping, how are you going to find that card?" Andrea asked.

"It cannot be found - only we know this secret, so let's stay put for the time being, don't expose ourselves, and slowly think of a way." Liu Ping said.

"But if you get it, are you really willing to become a Nightmare Walker?" Andrea asked.

Liu Ping noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but look at Andrea and Yana.

I saw a bit of worry on the faces of the two women.

"What? There's something wrong with this name?" Liu Ping asked with a smile.

"That won't happen." Andrea glanced at Yana.

Yana explained: "There are many people who are loyal to their original profession. After getting a new profession card, they cannot change at all, and in the end they will choose not to use the new profession."

"Why is this happening?" Liu Ping asked.

"Just like the bartender, his deck is 'home', and his wish is to gather a group of friends around him and build a home of their own, so he is very happy to be a bartender," Yana said.

"Yes, it can be seen that he enjoys being a bartender." Liu Ping said.

Yana said: "But if you give him a new profession - such as 'refugee', 'wanderer', 'traveler' and other professions, the specialization conditions for skills are often related to the unfamiliar environment."

Andrea said: "If this type of card master wants to become powerful, he cannot stay in one place for a long time."

"——This goes against the bartender's wishes. He may give up his job." Yana said.

Liu Ping looked at Yana, then at Andrea, and said with a smile: "I understand, my deck is 'Joy', and as a clown I am also good at 'pleasing', but 'Nightmare Walker' is not normal at first sight." It’s a career, and you’re worried that I won’t be able to fit it.”

The two women nodded together.

Liu Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Yana, were you also a card master back then?"

"Yes." Yana said.

"What was your initial occupation?" Liu Ping asked.

"I was born into a noble family in purgatory, and I was the strongest among my peers. However, before I took office, I was cursed by my mistress in a very clever way, and I fell in love." Yana said.

"The curse is love?" Andrea couldn't help but ask.

"Love is not a curse, but cursed love is an almost unsolvable law of cause and effect... I fell in love with the lowest servant, and I think he is the best in everything. Of course, he is also very handsome - only more handsome than Liu Just a little bit worse.”

Yana glanced at Liu Ping and said.

"What was your initial occupation?" Liu Ping asked.

"My initial profession is Paladin, and the deck and exclusive activation conditions are 'dedication'." Yana said.

Liu Ping sighed: "The real name of the deck cannot be changed——"

"Yes, I found out that this was a conspiracy, and that slave had no real feelings for me other than using me." Yana said.

"Then what?" Liu Ping and Andrea said in unison.

"At that time, I realized the falseness of love, so I instinctively refused to 'dedicate'. Naturally, I was unable to activate exclusive cards for my profession."

"I was scrapped along with my Devotion deck."

"In any battle, I could only deal with it with ordinary cards, so I quickly broke away from the core position of the family and became an existence that everyone despises."

"I knew then that the only way was to change jobs immediately."

"Changing careers is very difficult."

"I can't break free from the curse. With the blessing of the mistress, its effect is too powerful. I can only resist hard."

"During the process of resistance, I identified 'dedication' as a willing torture - torture is the deepest source of strength in 'dedication'."

"It took me three years to successfully change my profession and become a prison liquidator. From then on, I always forced the enemy to kneel down and give everything, otherwise they would be tortured by me."

"So you were originally a Paladin? How could you immediately tell that Luo Sheng was not a Paladin at that time?" Liu Ping suddenly said.

"Yes." Yana admitted.

Andrea sighed: "It's not easy."

"I say this because I want Liu Ping to know how difficult it is to take office."

Yana looked at Liu Ping and continued:

"Your deck is 'Joy', so you can't go against 'Joy' and take up another profession, do you understand?"

Liu Ping smiled and said, "Thank you for letting me know so many things, but you don't need to worry about taking office."

He stretched out a finger and coughed lightly: "Have you ever thought about what 'joy' is."

"Everyone's joy is different. What is your joy?" Andrea asked with interest.

——It’s so right for me to become Liu Ping’s heroic spirit.

So many interesting things to listen to!

Liu Ping said: "For me, becoming a card master is a joy."

"..." Andrea.

"...Is it that simple?" Yana.

"It's that simple." Liu Ping showed a Hexi smile.

"But you have lost your 'pleasure', and for you, the original meaning of 'joy' is to make yourself happy. Are you sure that the profession of 'Nightmare Walker', which comes from the nightmare era, can make you happy?" Yana questioned road.

"Yana, do you still remember when I chose to be the God of Attendant?" Liu Ping asked.

"Remember." Yana said.

"I told you at the time that people have more than one side, and I am more than just a clown."

"……you said before."

"Being a clown is a kind of joy, but switching to another profession is a brand new joy. Even if you give me a weirder profession, I don't care. After all, I have been involved in both good and evil, and have developed countless... I have done countless good and evil things. To be honest, I can’t wait now..."

Liu Ping said casually, as if he wasn't worried at all.

Yana was silent for a few breaths, then sighed and said, "It's no use worrying. You were born to be a card master."

"Born psychotic," Andrea agreed.

Liu Ping glared at her and said, "Okay, you guys take a rest first, and then you can turn them into cards and hide them later."

"What about you?" Andrea asked.

"I'll stay in Dark Mist Town first and wait until the cat demon comes."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he turned around to find the team leader.

"Liu Ping, who were you before?" the team leader asked.

"The waiter."

"Staff? Let me take a look... take it and wear this."

"Thanks."

Liu Ping put his clothes on and walked along the long street towards the restaurant.
