Infernal Artist

Machine City.

In a secluded room.

Hua Qingkong, Liu Ping, Norton, and Libertas climbed up from the ladder one after another.

"This is the highest level of the Mechanical City. Outside is the endless dark void."

Hua Qingkong said.

Several people looked around curiously.

Liu Ping looked at Hua Qingkong and said, "I have something to ask you."

"What?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"How did you and that monster get sealed into the prison cell in the first place? What happened back then?" Liu Ping asked.

Hua Qingkong's face showed deep loneliness.

"The Divine Pillar of the Void was destroyed, all sequences fell into eternal night, and human beings came to the end of the era."

"Those who are lucky enough to survive can only linger in purgatory and eternal night."

"As for me, in order to let more people escape to purgatory, I fought countless rounds with that unspeakable monster, and was finally attacked by the devil in purgatory and sealed -"

"It's ridiculous, the devils didn't even know how strong that monster was at the beginning!"

Liu Ping thought for a while and said: "Sealing monsters with sequences, who came up with this method?"

"It's our human method, but the seal of the sequence cannot last long, and it will be broken sooner or later." Hua Qingkong said.

"Does the devil know?"

"So what if they know, even we have been defeated. They have no choice but to intensify their efforts to enslave humans in an attempt to make the entire purgatory stronger."

"——If there are too many, don't ask. Your strength is too low to bear that kind of secret."

Hua Qingkong sighed and waved her hand gently in the void.

All of a sudden.

The night outside the window disappeared.

The surroundings are gradually filled with densely packed gears, large and small, that are constantly rotating.

"There's good news-"

"I must say that we are extremely lucky to have encountered Mechanical City."

Hua Qingkong said.

"Why?" Libertas asked.

"Because among all the sequences, Mechanical City is the sequence of civilization survival. Its greatest ability is to hide itself and protect human safety."

"What about other than that? Since it is a civilization survival type, it should have other abilities." Liu Ping said.

Hua Qingkong looked at him appreciatively and waved.

Cards emerge one after another.

There are seven cards in total.

They float on the endless gears, constantly rotating, and from time to time they emit gleams of light that fall among the many gears.

Everyone looked at this scene and understood in their hearts.

——This is the sequence of the Mechanical City.

"Mechanical City itself does not have any core cards, but it can absorb core cards from other sequences and use them to evolve more functions to ensure the safety of mankind."

Hua Qingkong pointed to the seven cards outside and continued:

"Four of them are its own core cards, and two are from the destroyed sequence - their cards were lost and scattered in the eternal night, picked up by others, and handed over to the Machinery City."

"There must be benefits for those who turn it in." Norton said.

"Yes, the three cards have created the three major teams, and they enjoy the best treatment in the Mechanical City." Hua Qingkong said.

She smiled at Liu Ping again and said regretfully: "For the survival of many human beings, Mechanical City has many advantages, but it also has one disadvantage-"

"Its core cards have always been pieced together, and the development direction is also based on the cards, not a complete set of cards in the strict sense."

"I understand," Liu Ping said, "There is no hidden ultimate weapon in this set of cards."

"Yes." Hua Qingkong said.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"You have learned the information about Mechanical City."

"Your experience value reaches 99%"

"In addition, you can add the 'Fool' sequence cards you have to the Mechanical City sequence at any time to enhance the strength of the Mechanical City."

Liu Ping didn't speak for a while.

Hua Qingkong found a chair and sat down, and said, "I just woke up not long ago, and I haven't figured out how to act yet. Liu Ping, what do you think?"

"I want to go to the depths of Eternal Night - I want to explore Eternal Night." Liu Ping said.

I don’t know what kind of existence fell into the eternal night in my previous life.

It's waiting for itself.

-Then go and find it!

Hua Qingkong said: "With your strength, even if you add Hua Qingkong and the two of them, you are not qualified to explore the eternal night."

"Then increase your strength," Liu Ping chewed gum and his thoughts gradually became clearer: "Mechanical City is a safe stronghold. We will rest here and go out to explore Yongye from time to time and engage in various battles to improve our strength step by step."

Yes.

I abandoned all my cultivation and joined the world system of Purgatory and Eternal Night. Do I want to always be a weakling?

From the dark drama to the World of Fools, from the Land of Exile to the Mechanical City, I have finally found a safer place.

——We must go all out to increase our strength!

Hua Qingkong nodded and said: "This is a safer method. In fact, I think so too."

Liu Ping said: "I would like to ask, what is your strength?"

"My strength is limited by Hua Qingkong. Her body cannot bear too much of my strength. She must raise her level." Hua Qingkong said with a smile.

"How much is that?" asked Libertas.

"Liu Ping's paladin is about level 50 on the mysterious side. I can only use level 60 on the mysterious side. By the way, the highest level card master in this mechanical city is only level 30." Hua Qingkong said.

Lines of burning small characters appeared in the void:

"You learned a piece of history about the Void Pillar."

"Your role has increased by 1 point."

"Current scene: 8/10."

"You heard about the strength of the spirit in Hua Qingkong."

"Your experience value has increased by 1%."

"You've upgraded."

"As a level 16 card master, all your attributes have been increased by 10 points, and your soul power has been increased by 2 points."

"Current soul power: 22/22."

Liu Ping's body emitted slight power fluctuations.

Both vitality and attack strength have been improved to a certain extent.

also--

"As a level 16 card master, the total number of death dolls you control increases to 5."

"You can start by choosing to acquire new knight skills, or enhance existing skills."

Liu Ping said without thinking: "Enhance the levitating technique."

Next, we have to go around and explore unknown areas. If we can increase the speed of flight, it will actually be a very helpful thing.

——Yana’s fighting style is really impressive.

A new line of small characters appeared before his eyes:

"Congratulations, your levitation technique has been upgraded to level two. It is now level two."

"Flying speed increased by 30%."

"Your upgrade has ended."

Liu Ping stared at the small words in front of him, and his heart suddenly moved.

——After obtaining a full set of "Exiled Land" cards, the Heroic Spirit operation interface has been evolved.

Nowadays, the three-point upgrade method can already increase experience points by obtaining intelligence.

That is to say——

"I'm going out to verify some things and will be back soon," Liu Ping said.

"Okay, I'll arrange a place for Libertas and Norton to rest. You won't die anyway. Remember to come back later." Hua Qingkong said.

Liu Ping nodded, opened the door and walked out of the room.

He found an elevator, randomly selected a trading floor, and quickly arrived at the corresponding location.

The elevator door opens.

The bustling market immediately came into view.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, walked out, and walked forward along the neat stalls.

He suddenly stopped in front of a stall.

"Uncle, what is this?"

He asked, pointing to a pendant, pretending to be curious.

The stall owner was a man with a beard. He looked at Liu Ping and said, "It increases the agility of movement. It is very useful for fighting and escaping."

"Wow, it's really a good thing. You can get such a powerful thing. It's really worthy of us young people to look up to." Liu Ping chewed gum and said.

"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." The boss waved his hand.

Liu Ping asked the price and bought the pendant.

"I don't know what your last name is?" he asked casually.

"Zhang Hui, he is a well-known old businessman in the market. He has an outstanding reputation and is worthy of your trust!" the boss said, patting his chest.

Liu Ping gave a thumbs up and said: "Then please take care of me from now on."

"It's you who take care of my brother's business." The boss said kindly.

"Brother, are you married?"

"how?"

"I have a sister who is beautiful and rich, but she is not married."

The boss corrected his attitude, straightened his back and said: "Oh, I am thirty-three years old and not married yet. I am a Sagittarius. My hobbies are reading comics. I can cook. I am also good at fighting. I am a musician."

Liu Ping glanced into the void without leaving any trace.

"You have met someone you have never met before: Zhang Hui, a market businessman."

"You learned basic information about him."

"According to the rules of exploring intelligence, you gained experience points: 2%."

2%!

There are actually 2%!

So, if you find fifty more people to chat with, wouldn't that mean you've leveled up?

Liu Ping was in a good mood. He patted his boss on the shoulder and said: "You are not only as beautiful as a tree, but also calm and reliable. I must go to my sister and say a nice word to see if you are destined to meet."

"Haha, okay!" the boss said.

Liu Ping smiled and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a new line of small characters appeared in front of his eyes:

"Your words made Boss Zhang feel inspired after a long absence, and he was inspired by it."

"Your life-saving skills have taken effect."

"You gained 5 points of soul power from him, which is converted into 1% of experience value."

"Words of encouragement,

convey warmth,

illuminate others,

Improve soul power! "

Liu Ping was stunned.

Another 1% of experience points are gained!

To sum up, after only chatting once, 3% of the experience points were gained.

——Is this okay?

...It seems that my upgrade style is about to change...

He slowly raised his head and looked at the entire bustling, lively and prosperous market.
