Purgatory Artist-Chapter 261: Illuminating Others

Mechanus.

Inside a hidden room.

Hua Qingkong, Liu Ping, Norton, and Libertas climbed up the ladder one by one.

"This is the highest floor of Mechanus, outside is an endless void of darkness"

Hua Qingkong said.

They all looked around curiously.

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

"What is it?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"How did you end up being sealed in that prison cell with that monster? What exactly happened back then? "Liu Ping asked.

Hua Qingkong's expression showed a deep sense of loneliness.

"The Void Pillar was destroyed, all the Sequences fell into Eternal Night, and humanity reached the end of its era"

"Those who were lucky enough to survive could only struggle for their lives 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, but in the end, I was ambushed by the devils of Purgatory and sealed — —"

"How laughable, the devils didn't even know how strong that monster was!"

Liu Ping thought for a bit, then asked: "Using Sequences to seal the monster, who came up with this idea?"

"It was humanity's idea, but the seal of the Sequences couldn't last long, it would break free sooner or later" Hua Qingkong said.

"Do the devils know?"

"So what if they do, even we were defeated, they had no other choice but to enslave humanity even more, trying to make Purgatory stronger"

"— — Don't ask too much, you're too weak to bear that kind of secret"

Hua Qingkong sighed, then lightly waved his hand in the air.

A few moments later.

The curtain of night outside disappeared.

The surroundings were gradually filled with gears of various sizes that were constantly rotating.

"There's good news — —"

"I have to say, we were extremely lucky to be able to meet Mechanus"

Hua Qingkong said.

"Why?" Libertas asked.

"Because among all the Sequences, Mechanus is a civilization survival Sequence, its greatest ability is to hide itself and protect humanity"

"Other than that? Since it's a civilization survival Sequence, it should have other abilities as well "Liu Ping said.

Hua Qingkong looked at him appreciatively, then waved her hand again.

Cards appeared one after another.

A total of 7 cards.

They floated above the countless gears and rotated continuously. From time to time, they would emit faint rays of light that landed on the numerous gears.

When everyone saw this scene, they understood in their hearts.

That was the structure of Floating Mech.

"The Floating Mech City doesn't have any Core Cards, but it can absorb Core Cards from other Sequences to develop more functions to ensure the safety of humans."

Hua Qingkong pointed at the seven cards outside and continued

"Four of them are its core cards, and two of them are from destroyed Sequences. Their cards were lost and scattered across the Evernight. Someone picked them up and handed them over to the Floating Mech City."

"Those who hand it in will be handsomely rewarded" Norton said.

"That's right. The three cards made the three great teams. They enjoy the best treatment in Floating Mech City" said Hua Qingkong.

She then smiled at Liu Ping and said regretfully, "For the survival of many humans, Mechanus has many advantages, but it also has a shortcoming."

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

"Understood" said Liu Ping. "There is no hidden Ultimate Weapon in this set of cards."

"Yes" said Hua Qingkong.

Lines of small burning words suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

[You have received information about Floating Mech City.]

[Your experience bar has reached 99%.]

[Also, you can add the 'Fool' Sequence Card in your hand to the Floating Mech Sequence at any time to increase the strength of the Floating Mech City.]

Liu Ping did not speak for a while.

Hua Qingkong found a chair and sat down. "I just woke up not long ago, so I haven't thought about what to do yet. Liu Ping, what do you think?"

"I want to go to the depths of the Evernight — I want to explore the Evernight" said Liu Ping.

He did not know what kind of existence fell into the Evernight in his previous life.

It was waiting for him.

Then he would go and find it!

Hua Qingkong said, "With your strength, even with Hua Qingkong and the two of them, you are not qualified to explore the Evernight at all."

"Then we will increase our strength" Liu Ping chewed gum, his thoughts gradually became clearer. "Floating Mech City is a safe base. We can rest here and go out to explore the Evernight from time to time, engage in various battles, and increase our strength step by step."

Yes.

He gave up all his cultivation and joined the world system of Purgatory and Evernight. Was he going to be a weakling forever?

From the dark play to the Fool's World, from the Land of Exile to Floating Mech City, he finally found a safer place.

I have to increase my strength with all my strength!

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

Liu Ping said, "If I may ask, how strong are you exactly?"

"My strength is limited by Hua Qingkong's. Her body can't withstand too much of my power. She has to increase her level." Hua Qingkong smiled.

"How much is it?" Libertas asked.

"Liu Ping's Holy Knight is about level 50 Mystic. Currently, I can only exert the power of level 60 Mystic. By the way, the highest level card user in Floating Mech City is only level 30" said Hua Qingkong.

Lines of small burning words appeared in the void:

[You have learned a part of the history of the Void Pillar.]

[Your Role Points have increased by 1 point.]

[Current Role Points: 8/10.]

[You have heard about the strength of Hua Qingkong's spirit.]

[Your EXP has increased by 1%.]

[You have leveled up.]

[As a level 16 card user, all your attributes have increased by 10 points. Your Soul Points have increased by 2 points.]

[Current Soul Points: 22/22.]

Liu Ping's body emitted a slight energy fluctuation.

Both his HP and attack power had increased to a certain extent.

Furthermore —

[As a level 16 card user, the total number of Death Puppets you can control has increased to 5]

[You can choose to obtain new Knight skills, or enhance existing skills.]

Liu Ping said without hesitation, "Enhance Levitation."

Next, he would have to go out and explore unknown areas. If he could increase his flying speed, it would be very helpful.

— — Yana's combat style left a deep impression on him.

A new line of small words appeared in front of his eyes:

[Congratulations, your Levitation has increased by one level. It is now level 2.]

[Flying speed increased by 30%.]

[Your current level up has ended.]

Liu Ping looked at the words in front of him and suddenly had a thought.

— — -after obtaining the full set of [Land of Exile] Cards, the Heroic Spirit UI had evolved.

At this point, the three-point level-up method could now increase his EXP by collecting information.

In other words — —

"I'm going out to verify something, I'll be back soon" Liu Ping said.

"Very well, 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 and left the room.

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

The elevator door opened.

A bustling market appeared in front of him.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, walked out and followed the neatly arranged stalls.

He suddenly stopped in front of one of the stalls.

"Uncle, what's this?"

He pretended to be curious as he pointed at a pendant and asked.

The stall owner was a man with a full beard, he glanced at Liu Ping and said: "Something that increases your agility, very useful when fighting or escaping"

"Whoa, what a nice item, to be able to get such a powerful item, you're someone that young people like us can only look up to" Liu Ping chewed on a piece of gum and said.

"Haha, well said, well said." The stall owner waved his hand.

Liu Ping asked for the price and bought the pendant.

"What's your name?" he asked casually.

"Zhang Hui, I'm a well-known businessman in the market, I'm trustworthy and worthy of your trust!" The stall owner patted his chest and said.

Liu Ping gave him a thumbs up and said, "Then please take care of me in the future."

"You should be the one taking care of my business" the stall owner said politely.

"Are you married?"

"Why?"

"I have an older sister, she's beautiful and rich, she's not married."

The stall owner straightened his back and said, "Oh, I'm 33 years old, I'm not married yet, I'm a Sagittarius, my hobby is to read comics, I can cook, I'm good at fighting, I'm a musician."

Liu Ping glanced at the void discreetly.

[You've met someone you've never met before: market businessman Zhang Hui]

[You've obtained his basic information]

[According to the rules of information exploration, you've obtained 2% EXP]

2%!

It's actually 2%!

If that's the case, if I find another 50 people to chat with, won't I level up?

Liu Ping was in a good mood, patted the stall owner's shoulder and said: "Not only are you handsome, you're also calm and reliable, I'll definitely find my older sister and put in a few good words for you. Let's see if the two of you are fated to meet"

"Haha, very well!" the stall owner said.

Liu Ping smiled and turned to leave.

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

[Your words have given boss Zhang a long-lost encouragement, he's become spirited again]

[Your Life-Saving Technique has taken effect]

[You've obtained 5 Soul Points from him, converted to 1% EXP]

[Words of encouragement, Conveying warmth, Illuminating others, Increasing your Soul Points! ]

Liu Ping was stunned.

Another 1% EXP gained!

In total, I've only chatted with him once and I've already obtained 3% EXP.

— — -this works too?

... Seems like my leveling style is about to change ...

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