Chapter 204 The Fool's Sandbox
"Would you like to try?" asked the Tree Elf.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"Actually, I have always wanted to help you humans, but I have never found a chance, so I agreed to the deal you proposed."

The tree elf spoke softly, with a trace of deep pity on his face.

"How to do it?" Liu Ping asked.

"Please cut off the chain of seal around my neck, so that I can communicate with you spiritually." The tree elf said.

Liu Ping picked up the dagger and slashed along the tree elf's body.

Ding Ling Dang!

All the chains that tightly bound the tree elves were broken and fell off.

The tree elf stood up slowly.

He moved his hands and feet, and said in a low voice: "You have untied all the chains of seals on my body... Are you afraid that I will kill you?"

"A little sincerity." Liu Ping said.

The tree elf smiled and waved his hand.

Beside him, a door made entirely of vines appeared.

"I'm leaving," said the wood elf.

"What about our deal?" Liu Ping asked.

The wood elf said: "Once I leave, the battle in the sky will soon end, you must hurry up and leave here."

"Then?" Liu Ping asked.

The wood elf recited an obscure incantation, and lightly raised his hands.

He saw a black leaf fall on his hand.

The wood elf handed the black leaf to Liu Ping, and telepathically said: "Listen, I don't know whether I should give it to you—in case you fail, you only have to lose your soul; You were lucky enough to succeed, and what is waiting in front of you will be an extremely dangerous road."

Liu Ping caressed the black leaves.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"A leaf from the tree of mysteries."

"??????"

"Special note: When you pick up this leaf, this operation interface will sense the fluctuation of the law of fate."

Liu Ping's heart tightened inexplicably.

The wood elf took a deep look at him and said, "Go to the place where your human sequence is, and the corresponding text will appear on this leaf. You have to read it to the sequence."

"Understood." Liu Ping said.

The wood elf nodded, and said again: "Remember, we have never had any transactions, nor have we talked."

After saying that, it turned around and walked into the door that was completely coiled by vines.

The door disappeared.

Only Liu Ping was left in place.

He raised his head to look at the sky, and with a slight movement of his body, he jumped onto the garden wall and turned over quietly.

After walking down a long staircase, he waited in a dark corner for a while, and only followed the guards who were going out.

Leaving the palace through a small door without any surprise or danger, Liu Ping gradually quickened his pace.

The roar in the sky began to become thinner.

Hurry up!

Liu Ping started to gallop on the road.

A quarter of an hour later.

He came to a big house and rang the doorbell.

The door opens.

Ted looked at Liu Ping in surprise, and said, "You came too early, I'm talking about getting together at night."

"Teacher, I have something to ask you for." Liu Ping said.

"what's up?"

"The night I became a polymath, I went to meet the sequence and got the recognition of the sequence—now I want to go again."

"Oh? Is there anything important?"

"...I have a little secret discovery, and I need to tell Sequence face to face."

"Can you talk to me?"

"Not for now."

Ted got serious, thought for a while, and took out a card from his arms and said: "This is a special authority card. When I was at the headquarters, the sequence rewarded me."

"What's the use of it?" Liu Ping asked.

"Usually, only naturalists can see the sequence's body when it is authenticated, but this card represents the sequence's approval, and we can use it to see the sequence's body again."

Ted said, throwing the card out.

Bang!
In the void, a metal pipe appeared.

An indifferent metallic voice sounded:
"Naturalist Ted, naturalist Liuping, what do you want?"

"Liu Ping discovered some secrets, and wants to tell you face to face, please take him there." Ted said.

"Naturalist Liu Ping, are you sure you want to communicate with me face to face? If it's not particularly valuable knowledge or information, you can tell me on the spot." Metal voice said.

"No, I need to communicate with you face to face." Liu Ping said.

The metallic voice was silent for a while, and said, "Please follow me."

A long pipe was connected to Liu Ping's back and pulled violently into the void.

Liu Ping suddenly plunged into the void and disappeared.

Standing at the door, Ted exclaimed, "I don't know what it is, even I can't tell—but he is a trustworthy kid, so let's ask when he comes back."

……

Small island in the lake.

Inside the castle.

A huge diamond-shaped cube quietly emerged.

Countless cards appeared from the void, and they were constantly arranged, changed, and combined to form a huge diamond-shaped cube.

Cards fly out of the cube one by one, sinking into the void and disappearing.

It seems that this process has been existing since ancient times and will never stop.

Liu Ping gently landed in front of the rhombus cube.

next second.

The cold metallic sound sounded in the diamond-shaped cube:

"Liu Ping, I am the war machine of the empire, the caller of all human cards, please tell us why you are here."

Liu Ping took a deep breath and took out the black leaf.

A ray of light suddenly rose from the leaves, and slowly spread around.

A soft female voice sounded from the leaves:

"The existence of the sequence has been sensed."

"This investigation has been completed."

"The corresponding authority has been obtained, and it appears as follows."

Liu Ping looked down and saw lines of small characters gradually appearing on the leaves.

He remembered the words of the tree elf, and read according to the small characters on the leaves:

"Fool 3-6912 sequence, I will enter the inspection process here."

The entire huge diamond-shaped cube shook suddenly.

That cold metal voice said:
"Real name verification passed."

"5971 years have passed since the last inspection."

"Before this inspection, you need to pass the 'Fool's Sandbox' to further confirm your identity."

"Do you want to start execution?"

Liu Ping looked at the leaves.

The small characters on the leaves disappeared completely, and then another line of small characters appeared:
"Currently responding to the command: start executing."

Liu Ping was silent for a while.

In the void, countless unrecognizable runes appeared on the Heroic Spirit interface like crazy, and finally turned into a line of small burning characters:

"You detected the real name of the War Sequence."

"It responded to your inspection command and started to build a temporary sandbox."

"This secret is extremely valuable and will provide you with a new role."

"Your role has increased by 3 points."

"Current scene: 5/10."

Once all the small characters were collected, they all disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

——As if he was afraid of affecting his next performance, the entire Heroic Spirit operation interface was hidden.

Liu Ping's expression froze slightly.

At this moment, he already vaguely felt that an astonishing secret was about to surface in front of him.

Liu Ping couldn't help but gather his mind, and read according to the words on the leaves:

"start execution!"

Immediately, the cold metal sound sounded again from the war sequence—or the Fool 3-6912 sequence:

"As ordered!"

In the void, dense metal pipes gradually emerged.

They were connected to Liu Ping's body one by one, completely covering his whole body.

hum-

After a violent buzzing sound, Liu Ping suddenly disappeared from the spot.

……

In a blank world.

Liu Ping suddenly appeared.

Facing him, densely packed cards appeared, arranged from the sky to the ground.

On each card, a person appears.

A metallic sound followed:
"Hello examiner."

"Start to draw professionals of the same level, please defeat the opponent within 1 minute, otherwise you will be imprisoned as a prisoner."

Everyone on those cards looked towards Liu Ping.

With a calm expression, Liu Ping drew out a long knife and put on his battle armor.

A card moved lightly and landed opposite Liu Ping.

Bang!
The card turned into a man in martial arts uniform.

On his upper left, a number 7 appears.

Battle of the same level?

Liu Ping was about to move, but stopped again.

Among the cards that filled the sky, one after another flew out and landed on the ground.

Mage, Warrior, Knight, Sniper, Psychic, Assassin, Summoner...

Twenty cards turned into professionals and stood opposite Liu Ping.

The cold metallic sound sounded again:

"The 1-minute timer starts!"
