Chapter 257 Card Master War (Simplified Version)!
Snow mountain.

On the cliff, dense worms built a long bridge.

The emperor took a step forward and stepped on the worm's body.

It moves slowly but surely.

Norton and Libertas hid in the secret path, watching the situation outside.

"It doesn't seem to be able to stop it at all," Norton said discouraged.

"There are too many bugs... If anyone can lure those bugs away, I still have a few powerful bombs that can blow up the cliff." Libertas said.

Behind the two, a voice suddenly came:
"It's useless."

Norton suddenly turned his head, and changed his color: "Impossible, the secret path is my exclusive space, who is it—"

Libertas drew out his dagger and shouted, "Who is it?"

A ladder appeared in the middle of the path.

A woman slowly climbed down from the void above the ladder.

"Flowers in the clear sky!"

Libertas lost his voice.

"How do you have the card of Mechanic City? And you can directly enter my path?" Norton asked.

"Let's not talk about this, since you two are here, let's do one thing."

Hua Qingkong said lightly.

She drew a card and tossed it lightly.

Norton took the card and looked at it, only to see a crazy spinning compass and a blank clock drawn on the card.

"The forbidden day of time and space, which can turn the time and space of a single individual into a state of complete chaos for a whole day."

Hua Qingkong said.

"This card is too powerful. Using this card will consume most of my strength." Norton said.

"Use it, this is the strongest card in the entire Mechanic City, only it can temporarily prevent that monster from returning to the Land of Exile." Hua Qingkong said lightly.

Norton looked at the card, gritted his teeth, and threw it towards the emperor outside the secret path.

Bang!
The card turned into an ever-changing streamer of light, piercing through the frost and hitting the emperor.

The emperor stopped.

He looked around, as if he couldn't see anything, with a confused look on his face.

Hua Qingkong has been watching intently, then he was relieved and said:
"well done."

After speaking, she climbed up the ladder and was about to leave.

"Wait, Hua Qingkong, where are you going?"

Libertas asked hastily.

Hua Qingkong said: "——the land of exile has been isolated, I have something to say to Liu Ping."

"What happened to Liu Ping?"

"He must flee for his life at once."

After Hua Qingkong finished speaking, she climbed up the ladder and disappeared.

the other side.

Remains of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

On the frozen world, Hua Qingkong reappeared.

She knelt down on one knee, pressed one hand on Frost, and said:

"Liu Ping, the situation has changed."

"Because the world of 'The Fool' lacks too many core cards, it can no longer be blocked, and I can only block it for another day at most."

"You have to find a way to get all nine cards to have a glimmer of hope."

"...There are too many uncertain factors."

"I have been sealed for too long, and I don't know what kind of power is hidden behind the nine core cards of 'Land of Exile'."

"After all, everyone lost back then."

"so--"

"Whether to fight or flee, you have to decide immediately."

After Hua Qingkong finished speaking, she closed her mouth and waited quietly.

Her pupils kept changing, and sometimes they returned to the childish eyes of that young girl.

"Liu Ping..."

"No, come out quickly and run away with me."

A trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes.

……

"The three-point upgrade method has evolved."

"You'll still be exploring, fighting, and collecting cards to improve your experience, the difference is that the content of exploration has been expanded."

"From now on, any information you don't know, as long as you obtain it, it will increase your experience."

"also."

"You have obtained the right to operate the 'Land of Exile', the details are as follows:"

"First, you can determine the layout of the world, climate and growth, and the direction of civilization to produce corresponding cards;"

"Secondly, the prison room can be used or repaired;"

"Third, launch a card master war."

"Note: A card master who owns the sequence world can launch a card master war to seize the cards in the hands of other beings."

"Special attention: Please don't challenge those opponents who are much stronger than you, otherwise you will lose all the cards in your hand, or even lose yourself to the opponent, or even lose your life."

"The specific rules are as follows:"

"..."

Liu Ping looked at it quickly, and when he read the specific rules, another line of small characters jumped out:

"You already know the rules of the card master war."

"Your role has increased by 1 points."

"The current scene is 6/10."

It's slow to say, but in just an instant, all the information has been displayed.

Between lightning and flint——

Two other things are happening:
First, the voice of Hua Qingkong sounded from the card: Holy Church.

Second, the boundless swarm of insects began to surround it.

The three skulls declared loudly: "Finally, today, the era of mixed souls is over, and I will dominate everything in the future!"

Its figure began to skyrocket, gradually turning into a huge, snake-like dragon-like monster.

Tick.

Time advances by one second.

Liu Ping said, "Launch the 'Card Master War'."

The world is silent.

next moment.

The three-headed skeleton dragged its long body and roared loudly: "No, I do not agree to the card master war! I have already won!"

"Really? The other half of your body is sealed outside."

As Liu Ping said, he unfolded the sequence core cards in his hand one by one, and continued:

"And I have eight core cards in my hand. After using up the authority once, I still have seven chances to seal the entire Land of Exile."

"If you don't fight with me, I will keep sealing you."

"Or--"

"Are you afraid?"

"By the way, don't you want to dominate everything in the future? Why are you so afraid of fighting a card master war with me?"

The three skeletons suddenly lowered their heads.

Liu Ping looked at it without avoiding it, and pressed his hand on a card.

Layers of frost suddenly appeared on the card, and it seemed that it would spread to the surroundings at any time, sealing the entire world again.

The three skulls looked at him deeply, and said, "You think I'm afraid of you? No, I'm just not interested in crushing a level 15 ant—"

"Mortal, fighting with you will only waste my precious time."

Liu Ping said: "Then, come and defeat me, so that you can take away the core card in my hand, and you don't have to be sealed in the frost again and again."

He spread out the eight core cards and held them in his hand.

The three skeletons took a breath.

"Well, as you wish, I will bet on this card."

It puts that "Holy Spirit" in mid-air.

Liu Ping let go.

The "Book of the Witch" flew into the sky and floated opposite the "Holy Spirit".

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"The card master war is about to begin."

"The challenged will choose your battle side."

Then the voice of the three skulls sounded: "I just need to look at you to know that you are a card master from the practice side—"

"Magic, witchcraft, and Taoism all have something in common."

It said slowly in a cunning and vicious voice: "So the side I chose to fight is—"

"Science and technology side the world."

In an instant, everything disappeared.

The entire sequence world of Land of Exile began to change rapidly.

All the power of magic is gone, and there is no magic in the world anymore.

The ground began to grow heavy.

Steel cities sprang up one after another, and the people inside drove all kinds of steel machines, speeding on the concrete poured ground.

Around Liu Ping and the three skulls, various styles of the entire world, people's lifestyles, the direction of technological progress, and the brilliant achievements of various civilizations are constantly flashing.

——The world attribute has been transformed into a technology-side world.

Liu Ping laughed and said, "The human beings you have captured are all magic-side creatures, but you want to compete with me in the technology-side world. Could it be that you want to re-explore the world with me?"

"Sad ants," the three-headed skeleton said contemptuously, "I have conquered countless worlds, absorbed countless creatures, and mastered all your advanced knowledge before the endless years that you don't even know about. The subtle skill of—"

"Your only end is to die in despair."

After the words fell, two lines of small burning characters appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes again:
"The opponent has selected the world side."

"Now, please choose the way of war."

Liu Pingdao: "I choose the mission-based battle method. The person who completes the opponent's mission first wins the opponent's card."

Another line of burning small characters emerged:

"The way of war has been determined."

"The two sides will start the battle in the form of time-limited missions."

"A simplified version of the war is ready."

"illustrate:"

"—This is the simplest and most convenient competition of skills and knowledge in the card master war."

"The content of the mission can only be related to the technology-side world, and cannot greatly exceed the upper limit of the current world."

The three skulls noticed immediately.

It observes the ever-changing scenes of human civilization and society around it, and the three heads begin to change accordingly, turning into countless human faces.

After a while.

I saw a head on the left of it turned into the appearance of a human old man, and said:

"I have seen this era, and I have to say that you have to learn everything on the technology side from scratch before you can complete my mission:"

The head in the middle turned into a middle-aged man and said:

"They have just begun to grasp the theoretical basis of space teleportation. It takes a lot of experiments and attempts to accumulate knowledge of space transitions and complete it."

The head on the right said: "Conservatively, it will take 50 years."

The three faces disappeared.

The three skeletons returned to their original appearance, and laughed loudly: "How? These are some technological anthropologists I assimilated in the past, and they have already arranged a time-limited task for you:"

"Perfect the full set of knowledge of space transition!"

"Believe this kind of thing, you should be able to do it in 50 years."

Accompanied by its sound, a line of small burning characters emerged, showing the content of the task it said.

"Now, it's time for me to give you a mission." Liu Ping said.

"It's useless. All your human inventions, technical knowledge, and even literature and art, as long as they are beneficial essence, have been absorbed by me." The three-headed skeleton said.

"Then—my mission is this."

Liu Ping looked at the flashing scenes all around for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed a small rectangular metal box.

He skillfully fiddled with the palm-sized box and threw it to the three skeletons.

"The fourth line, the third icon, this is your mission."

Liu Ping said.

"The third icon?" the three-headed skull asked in confusion.

"Yes, you need to break through it—this is my time-limited task." Liu Ping said.

The voice fell.

In the void, lines of huge flame words appeared between him and the three skulls.

"Time-limited mission begins!"

"Whoever completes the task set by the other party first will win the game!"

The three-headed skeleton immediately picked up the small box and began to click quickly.

Its head keeps changing.

Human elites appeared one after another, staring at the picture on the small box.

The old man appeared first.

He glanced at the animation content on the small box, and said with a complicated expression: "No, to break through such a game, you must first recharge. It is impossible not to recharge."

The face of a young man also appeared, looked at the small box and said: "I can roughly judge which character is the most powerful, but this game will be updated soon, I am afraid that we will be weakened halfway through the fight."

The third face appeared, only glanced at the screen, immediately clicked on the small box, and said after a while: "Don't think so much, all the money has already arrived, about 20 billion."

"20 billion?" The old man quickly calculated silently, nodded and said: "Used to upgrade weapons, mounts, fashions, magic weapons, privileges, internal strength, innate internal strength, acquired strength, wings, phantom soldiers, phantom soldiers, phantom gods Soldiers, official positions, immortal positions... are basically enough."

The young man's face said: "Then let's start!"

The three heads stared at the small box together and began to operate quickly.

the other side.

Liu Ping found a computer, and quickly uploaded the technical knowledge of transition to the Internet.

——At the "Temporary Prison for the Useless", when he solved problems for the strong on the technology side, he had already obtained all the knowledge on the technology side.

Yana watched him type quickly, and worried: "Liu Ping, how is it? Can we win?"

"Of course." Liu Ping said without turning his head.

"Are you so sure?" Zhao Chanyi also asked.

"That unspeakable monster collected the essence of human civilization—so what I gave him was the dross of human civilization. The dross is more entangled than the essence."

As Liu Ping spoke, he tapped the Enter key lightly.

All space jump data uploaded successfully.

He looked across.

I saw three human and wise scientist heads holding small boxes, still operating quickly.

But after a few operations, the small box made a burst of music.

The three heads had to stop their hands, and expressions of helplessness appeared on their faces.

"Why is it in the advertisement? I remember I bought a VIP!" the old man said in surprise.

"I'm confused, VIP can't be exempted from advertisements, you need VVVVVVIP to do it, let me do it." The young man roared.

At this moment, several lines of burning characters appeared in the void:

"The time-limited task in this field is over."

"Winner: Liu Ping."
