Crack!
A crack appeared on the rock.
A black snake crawled out from the crack, quickly coiled around Liu Ping's arm and flicked its tongue at him.
Liu Ping suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the hole.
"Thank you"
"My problem seems to have been solved as well"
"Although I don't know what happened, I look forward to meeting you again in the outside world" the three Professionists smiled and said.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Three consecutive noises.
The three Professionists turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from this world.
And now, only Liu Ping and the lady remained in this world.
Her voice came from behind Liu Ping: "So you were here!"
The woman wearing a white mask and a black dress appeared, faced the snake, and chanted a cryptic incantation.
The snake then turned into a whip and fell into the woman's hand.
She stroked the whip for a while, then looked at Liu Ping and muttered: "You've solved that problem"
"That seems to be the case, can you become my Servant Diety now?" Liu Ping asked.
"… I've lost too much power, I'll probably need to rely on this whip to slowly recover. If you want me to become your Servant Diety, you'll have to accept one thing" the woman slowly said.
"What is it?" Liu Ping asked.
"I won't be able to help you fight for now, I can only do some basic things, like turning other things into cards" the woman replied.
Liu Ping's expression froze.
'What?'
'So you can help me fight after you've recovered?
'And here I thought a servant could only help me turn other things into cards — — - I was too naive.'
With that in mind, Liu Ping puffed out his chest and solemnly said: "It's fine, I'll take care of fighting, you just need to rest well, once you've recovered, we'll talk about other things"
The woman in the black dress stared at him for a while, then said with satisfaction: "You've changed my impression of the Clown, perhaps … the Clown can also be a very decent person, worthy of my expectations"
— — many years later, whenever she thought of this, she would feel ashamed and regretful.
But right now, she was only shocked by Liu Ping's ability to solve all of her problems.
And so, she decided to take a gamble.
The woman in the black dress lightly chanted an incantation.
The long whip suddenly split down the middle, turning into a two-headed snake that slithered slowly.
"I'm very weak. I have to rely on this whip to complete the Servant Diety's Pact with you" the lady said.
"In other words, if I couldn't find this whip, you wouldn't be able to become my Servant Diety, right?" Liu Ping asked.
"That's right — — don't move, it's a bit painful, bear with it" the woman said.
The double-headed snake straightened its body in front of the two of them. One of the snake's heads looked at the lady while the other looked at Liu Ping.
In the void of space, a line of burning text quickly appeared:
[The card user's alias is: Semi-chosen Deity]
[The servant's alias is: Servant Diety]
[Both of you are about to form an eternal contract. From now on, she will become your servant and complete all kinds of tasks for you. In return, you will use your own strength to repay her. The stronger your soul is, the stronger she will become, and she will even return to the ranks of the gods.]
After the words appeared, the two snake heads had already bent down and coiled around the lady's and Liu Ping's arms respectively.
The snake heads opened their mouths and bit the two of them on their wrists.
Liu Ping hissed softly and muttered, "Indeed, it hurts a little." After a moment of silence.
"Why is it so painful?" he couldn't help but ask.
Another breath passed.
"Still not done? I'm in so much pain! "Liu Ping couldn't help but ask.
"You … have you never been bitten before?" the lady glanced at him.
"Usually, nothing bites me" Liu Ping replied.
"But you will in the future" the lady giggled.
"What do you mean?" Liu Ping didn't understand.
"You'll know very soon" the whip suddenly retracted.
The lady's figure turned and turned into a card that lightly hovered in front of Liu Ping.
The card depicted a mysterious cave. The lady sat down on a stone bench and placed the whip on her knees, then told Liu Ping: "You'll leave this place in three minutes. I've already used up all my strength and need to rest — — don't call me if there's nothing important" after saying that, she closed her eyes.
Liu Ping stared at the card, and lines of burning words appeared in the void. [Card: The Sleeping Lord of Torment]
[Unique Card, Servant diety's Card.]
[Description: After experiencing an extremely dangerous situation, she fell into a deep hibernation. If you need her to help you enslave a card, you can wake her up at any time.]
Liu Ping quietly kept the card after reading it.
At that moment, he had officially become a card user.
Next, all he needed to do was to wait for his return to the company.
Then, he would follow the tactical team to defend Dark Mist Town and complete the defense of the town.
He could only hope that Evernight would be a bit more peaceful tonight.
Liu Ping thought to himself and suddenly felt a card in his hand.
"Strange …" he took a look at the Card.
The Card depicted an ordinary green rock, one side of it was covered in moss while the other side was covered in vines. There was even a small flower that had bloomed from a crack in the rock, fluttering in the wind.
That's right, that entity just now said that it gave me two things.
One was for Torment, and the other was for me.
Could it be this rock Card?
While Liu Ping was thinking, lines of burning text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:
[Card: Rock of Nothingness]
[Occultism Card]
[Growth Card]
[Description: When you release this Card, you will become an item that belongs to your current environment, instantly appearing in your current environment until you cancel it (once every hour)]
[— Can be linked to the Clown Card]
[— Can be converted into a Clown's Exclusive item]
Liu Ping quickly finished reading, thought for a bit, then shrugged: "I'll become an item that belongs to me?
What is an item that belongs to me? " Lines of burning text quickly appeared:
[This Sequence has exhausted all of its power to explain this extremely rare Occultism Card, so it also needs to rest for a bit. Can't you solve the remaining minor issues yourself?]
'Did it just learn from the Lady just now?'
Liu Ping was stunned for a bit, then said: "Alright, I'll solve it myself" — — there's still 1 or 2 minutes left, I'll just give it a try.
He grabbed the Card, took a deep breath, then muttered: "Use!" and threw the Card out.
Bam!
A puff of smoke scattered.
Liu Ping was nowhere to be seen.
A stone statue appeared in the middle of the crater. This statue was extremely lifelike, one hand clenched into a fist while the other held up a thumb. It was very handsome, a clear sign that this was a great person.
— — -the statue depicted Liu Ping's face.
At the base of the statue, a line of words was carved: {Liu Ping}
{A powerful cultivator, a great liberator, an outstanding problem-solver, once used the problem-solving method to save hundreds of professionals in this prison.}
{Note: this statue cannot be touched, if damaged, the consequences will be at your own risk.}
The statue stood there silently for a few breaths.
Bam!
It turned back into Liu Ping with a contemplative expression.
"In other words, there should have been a statue of me here, so I turned into a statue?" Liu Ping asked.
[Yes]The Sequence spoke sparingly.
Liu Ping spread out his hands and said, "Then if this place lacks a tree —"
The Sequence said, [You will become a tree.]
Liu Ping was silent for a while.
"What's the use of that" he muttered to himself.
But on second thought, this card was a growth card. Perhaps when it grew up, it would become very powerful?
Liu Ping shook his head and kept the card.
Everything was in place now.
He was just waiting for his return.
He stood where he was for a few breaths.
Suddenly.
An extremely strong pulling force suddenly appeared and pulled on his body — Liu Ping was instantly out of the world, breaking space apart.
Countless worlds turned into lines that quickly flew past his eyes.
He felt something solid on his feet.
Liu Ping realized that he had returned to the balcony beside the tall building. There were dozens of elite tactical team members around him, and many flying devices were taking off and landing in the distance.
Wang Wei and Luo Sheng looked at him in shock.
He was back!
"You … have the power of Laws on you, did you succeed?" Wang Wei asked uncertainly.
Luo Sheng suppressed his shock and spoke with a calm tone: "If he didn't succeed, he would have gone to the Goddess, but he returned, which means——"
Liu Ping smiled.
"Thank you, if you hadn't given me this chance, I wouldn't have been able to become a Card Master"
