Chapter 228 Two Card Masters

sand...sand...sand...

Liu Ping walked in a fog.

A colossal monster suddenly appeared in front of it, it towered in the endless mist, connecting the sky and the earth, with no end in sight.

An arrow appeared in the void, pointing to the behemoth.

at the same time.

A small road appeared at the foot, and neat street lamps were erected on both sides.

At the end of the road, a figure in combat uniform seems to be waiting for his arrival.

Liu Ping went straight along the road.

He came up to the man.

"Welcome to Mechanic City." The man said with a smile.

Liu Ping looked behind him.

At this time, the mist cleared up a little, and the behemoth could be vaguely seen to be a huge steel building.

"Is that the Mechanical City?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, please remember that the biggest taboo in the Mechanic City is to ask where the Mechanic City is." The man said.

"Why?" Liu Ping asked.

"Everyone who tried to find out the real location of the Mechanic City is already dead—this is the self-protection measure of the Mechanic City, please be careful not to violate it." That humane said.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Ping said.

The man took out a card from the card book, looked at Liu Ping, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to get an official identity card as soon as you came in."

He handed Liu Ping a black metal card.

A line of burning small characters quickly appeared:
"With this card, Sequence: 'Mechanical Master' has completed an external link with you."

"You became a member of Mechanic City."

"Please rest assured that this sequence is not malicious, this operation interface will monitor the whole situation at any time."

Liu Ping glanced at it and asked the man, "This card is—"

"Black Iron Card, it is the official Mechanic City identity card. With this card, you can link to the Mechanic Master at any time, ask it various questions, and do many things for Mechanic City according to the tasks it issued—similarly, it It will also give you a lot of merit, and merit means class and rights." That humanity.

He suddenly felt something and said with a smile: "Go, your friend is waiting for you."

Liu Ping looked behind him.

I saw Norton standing not far away, waving at himself.

"Thank you, goodbye."

"You are Welcome."

Liu Ping took the black iron card and walked slowly in front of Norton.

"What are your plans?" Norton asked.

"I want to start from here and go near the snow mountain." Liu Ping said.

"What are you doing in the snow mountain?" Norton asked in surprise.

"A friend is waiting there, I'm going to find her." Liu Ping said.

"This is troublesome." Norton sighed.

"What?" Liu Ping's heart tightened.

"There is a big problem in the sequence world of 'The Fool', and the sleepers guarding it wake up one after another, and start chasing, killing and devouring humans. The snow mountain is close to the border of the sequence world of 'The Fool', and has been listed as a restricted area by the Mechanical City." Norton explained road.

Liu Ping took out the black iron card.

A line of small black characters suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:
"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want to go to the snow mountain in the south, which is the northern border of the 'Fool 3-9612' sequence world."

Another line of small black characters appeared:
"There are sleeping people raging here, and it has been listed as a restricted area, and entry and exit are not allowed."

Liu Ping sighed.

"Norton, is there nothing I must do to save my friend?" he asked.

——If it doesn’t work, I can only leave here, find a new way, and rush to meet Hua Qingkong as soon as possible.

—I hope she can hold on.

Norton thought for a while and said, "Leave this matter to me, you follow me."

He led Liu Ping all the way to the entrance of the towering building.

I saw that the building was completely made of metal, the surface was completely closed, and there was no place to enter.

Norton took out his own card and stuck it on the metal outer wall.

In his hand is a silver card——

"Put your card on it too."

"it is good."

Liu Ping stuck his black metal card on the wall.

Two lines of small black characters suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping:
"Norton, a silver cardholder, is co-publishing with you."

"do you agree?"

Liu Ping looked at Norton.

Norton said, "Agreed."

"Okay, I agree." Liu Ping said.

Rows of small black characters quickly appeared on the wall:

"You have jointly issued a message:"

"—Big sale with tears!"

"The Southern Refuge was breached by the Sleepers, and the director escaped with his men."

"The super-popular space card master Norton, who is currently on the order, and the extremely rare healing card master Liu Ping are in trouble—"

"We have nowhere to go, we have nowhere to go, we can only rely on the major combat teams in the Machinery City."

"The only requirement for joining the group: a restricted area pass."

"Yes, you read that right!"

"You don't need the merits of the mechanical city, and you don't need precious equipment. You only need a pass card for the restricted area, and you can get two rare card masters!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, please seriously consider it with all the combat teams!"

Liu Ping finished reading it quickly, and said speechlessly, "It's obviously asking for shelter, so does it need to be written like this?"

"Liu Ping, you are only in your teens, and you still don't understand what a space card master and a healing card master represent—"

Norton showed a meaningful smile and continued: "When the two of us are together, one plus one is greater than two. I bet that within five seconds, those teams will come crying and begging us to join us." .”

"Really? But I seem to have taken all the benefits, but you haven't got anything." Liu Ping said.

"You saved my life, this is my chance to repay you." Norton said.

"Where are the others we came with?" Liu Ping asked.

The expression on Norton's face faded a little, and he said: "They are all people whose lives were saved by me, but none of them have come to me so far, so don't worry about them."

Liu Ping nodded.

The two looked at the wall together.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

There was no movement on the walls.

Norton said embarrassingly: "No, people like us should be snapped up. Why isn't there a team to accept us?"

"Is it because it's very difficult to get a restricted area pass, so no team can meet our conditions?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's also possible..." Norton thought about it.

suddenly.

A few new lines of text quickly appeared on the wall:

"Anonymous message:"

"Two trash who want to eat swan meat, don't you know that the pass to the restricted area has long been monopolized by the three major combat teams?"

"The rare card masters who want to join the three major battle teams have long been squeezed out. How can it be your turn? It's ridiculous."

"Wake up, don't play this kind of fancy work, find a job to support yourself."

"Our Mechanical City is not comparable to other refuges. There are all kinds of card masters. You still think you are rare, you are really country bumpkins!"

"Remember these two idiots, don't accept them for any job in the future, their vision is too shallow."

"Hahaha, I agree with the above point of view."

Lines of small characters quickly appeared.

It was followed by lines of curse words, which were constantly refreshed.

Liu Ping: "..."

Norton: "..."

Liu Ping: "It seems that this method doesn't work."

Norton sighed, "I was reckless."

Holding the black iron card in his hand, Liu Ping asked silently, "Apart from joining the three major combat teams, is there any other way to obtain a restricted area access card?"

A line of small black characters appeared in front of his eyes:

"Successfully create a combat team, you will receive a gift from the Mechanic Lord, and you can specify a gift."

"How to create a combat team?" Liu Ping asked.

Another line of small black characters appeared:
"Pass the Mechanic Master's combat assessment."

"It failed?" Liu Ping asked.

The small black characters continued: "You will lose your current identity, and you must complete a series of work tasks to repay the energy consumed by the Mechanic Master in launching the battle assessment."

Liu Ping nodded, and said to Norton, "I want to create a combat team, will you come?"

"The two of us?" Norton asked in surprise.

"This is the only way." Liu Ping said.

"...Forget it, anyway, the employment is sluggish, so it's better for us to do it ourselves, or to work for the mechanical master." Norton gritted his teeth.

"Thank you for your help. From now on, you don't owe me anything." Liu Ping said.

He stuck the black iron card on the metal wall, and said:

"We're going to create fighting teams."

A line of small black characters appeared on the wall:
"Card Master Liu Ping, Card Master Norton, are you sure you want to enter the battle evaluation process?"

Liu Ping and Norton looked at each other.

"Sure!"

The two said in unison.

The cards in their hands emitted a faint light, wrapped around the two of them, and instantly soared into the sky.

……

On the barren plain.

distance.

A group of gray monsters ran towards the direction of the two.

"They are all level 15 monsters. It seems that we set up such an opponent considering the level of the two of us."

As Norton said, he opened the card book, threw blank cards one by one in the air, and quickly drew on many cards with a brush.

"The plains are not suitable for us to fight."

As he spoke, he waved and threw out a card with a picture of a mountain.

rumbling--

Towering rocks quickly emerged from under the two of them, gradually piling up into mountains.

"We stand on the hill, and then—"

Another card is thrown out.

The sound of noisy water flow appeared, and then, a wide river appeared under the high mountain.

"I put a river to block their attack, but I still need some traps."

Norton drew a card again and threw it out.

Countless clouds and mist rose up, turning into lead clouds of lightning and thunder in the sky.

"Thunderbolt is also arranged!"

Norton wiped the sweat from his brow, and continued: "Liu Ping, you are a healer, you don't have much combat power, you must have a lot of combat cards - I'm in charge of blocking the enemy, and you are in charge of attacking with the combat cards, is that okay?"

"Good!" Liu Ping said.

He tossed it casually.

bang——

Libertas appeared in front of the two of them.

"Those monsters are not low-level."

Libertas looked at the group of monsters in the distance, and said solemnly.

Norton looked at him, frowned and said, "Level 10 assassin? It's a bit weak, let's get serious, Liu Ping."

"Okay." Liu Ping replied again.

He throws a card again.

bang——

Huoya, a level 3 pastoral dog, appeared at the feet of the three of them.

"This...is this dog your pet? Don't let it go to the battlefield, or it will be eaten by those monsters." Norton warned.

The dog looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

Norton patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's get serious, send experts out, we need someone to stand in front."

Liu Ping shrugged and said, "I have already dispatched experts."

"You mean the assassin and the dog?"

"Yes."

"Don't you have any other cards?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then you use it!"

"... Those cards are useless now." Liu Ping said apologetically.

Norton looked at the dog, then at Libertas—

pastoral dog.

Level 10 Assassin.

Just these two cards.

miss you.

Defeat a group of level 15 monsters?

thump!
Norton's legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

"what happened to you?"

Libertas asked kindly, and even stepped forward to help him.

"Don't help me...I want to be quiet."

Norton lowered his head and said with a gloomy face.
