Purgatory Artist-Chapter 289: Ruined World

Purgatory.

The 875th floor, the ruined world.

The three suns in the sky slowly lost their light as the world was enveloped by the shroud of night.

On top of a certain cliff.

Four figures silently appeared.

"Isn't this called the ruined world? Why is it still so prosperous? "the young man couldn't help but ask.

Looking at the glorious metropolis not far from the cliff that was illuminated by the lights, he felt like he couldn't get enough of it.

This seems to be a Technological metropolis.

A line of burning text appeared in the air to accurately remind him of this:

[You've discovered a world:]

[The 875th floor of Purgatory, the Ruined World]

[Your EXP has increased by 10%]

— — -apparently, there are over a hundred million floors in Purgatory, which means I only need to travel through each Purgatory to level up.

What a vast and wondrous collection of worlds this is!

How does it work?

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

A female voice sounded:

"This place is so prosperous because it's the most central city of this world, I assume that if there are any clues, they'll be found here."

Star's Daughter.

She opened her Card Tome, took out four Cards, and handed them to everyone.

Liu Ping received the Card, only to find that it was a Card that he had never seen before, depicting the appearance of a young man.

[Disguise Card]

[One-time use Card]

[It can change your appearance, making it impossible for others to see your true appearance]

[Usage method: Crush]

Liu Ping lightly crushed the Card.

Bam!

With a small sound, he found that his appearance had completely changed, even his clothes had become a simple set of Technological clothes.

Star evaluated him and commented: "This set of clothes automatically copied the style most commonly worn by 14-year-olds in this world — — - it's quite handsome."

The Captain, Fierce Tiger, and Star also crushed their Cards and took off their masks.

The Captain turned into a tall and muscular man.

Fierce Tiger appeared a bit thin and old, no one could tell that he was a martial arts expert at all.

While Star turned into a normal-looking woman.

"Has Fox collected any information about this world?" the Captain asked.

"Yes, I have a record of it here" Star replied.

She took out a thick notebook, flipped to a certain page, and muttered:

"Only a world that is like a ruin is a place where humans are allowed to stay."

"The 875 level of the ruined world is filled with all kinds of disasters and barrenness. It is a low-level world where humans live."

"If they prove their worth, they can go to the more powerful Purgatory World and serve the devils as slaves."

"The spire in the city is the core power center that the devils use to rule this world."

A Spire?

Liu Ping became serious and looked at the Nightless City again.

Sure enough, upon closer inspection, he discovered that at the end of the city, there was a Spire that almost blended into the night.

"Sequence, let me see the description of the Holy Water's Fetters."

Liu Ping said silently.

Lines of glowing text quickly appeared in the void of space:

[Fetters Card: Redemption Voucher]

[You can usually find it under the eaves of those spires...]

The Atonement Voucher could be hidden here!

Tsk, it was fortunate that he had come to Purgatory. Otherwise, where would he find a spire in Evernight?

Speaking of which ...

The fact that a Divine Card was hidden under the Devil's roof was quite ironic.

"How should we proceed?" Fierce Tiger asked.

"Once we enter this metropolis, there will be a few abandoned buildings at the edge of the city. We'll settle down there, then find the black market and slowly ask for information" Stars Daughter replied.

She then added: "Of course, we'll need to get some money first."

"Do they use electronic payment or brainwave payment here?" Fierce Tiger asked.

"They use physical items — — - cash or gold coins" Star replied.

The Captain smiled and muttered: "Then, getting money isn't a problem, and we won't be easily tracked. The Quest is very easy to carry out."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Using physical items or coins to make transactions is very hard to trace.

Unless they use Cards.

But when it comes to Cards that prevent tracking, both Star's Daughter and the Captain have a very good way to deal with it.

"Let's deal with the issue of funds first."

Saying so, Captain opened his card tome and drew three Cards.

The three Cards depicted an altar, a statue, and a pillar of light.

He then placed the three Cards in a triangular formation in the air.

They slowly lit up and connected to each other, forming long, dark lines that connected them.

Captain muttered: "Then, all evil sacrificial offerings, speak your wishes."

On the card with the pillar of light drawn on it, lines of words appeared one after another, revealing the wishes of many people.

The Captain silently observed for a while, then smiled: "Stop!"

All the text faded away, leaving only a single line of text on the Card:

[Please save me, I'm currently being tortured by a curse. If anyone can save me, I'm willing to give up my entire life's savings, or even sacrifice everything!]

The Captain turned around to look at Liu Ping and said: "I remember that Holy Elemental spells are very good at dispelling curses."

Liu Ping replied: "I do have a spell that can dispel curses."

"The Card is the medium, cast the dispelling curse spell on it and we'll be able to earn money" the Captain said.

He then showed the statue Card in front of Liu Ping.

Liu Ping casually waved his hand.

[Divine Healing]!

While this spell healed others, it could also dispel both magic and curses from the target's body.

Two rays of holy light circled around the Card in the Captain's hand, then slowly disappeared into the void of space after a while.

The Captain sensed for a few moments, then smiled: "It's time to receive the offerings."

Among the three Cards hovering in the air, a large amount of gold coins suddenly appeared on the Card that represented the altar, as well as bundles of cash.

The gold coins gave off a metallic sound, while the bundles of cash gave off a dull sound as they hit each other.

They continued to pour out, filling the entire altar.

The Captain looked at the money that kept appearing on the altar and asked: "What's the cost of living in this world?"

"A large amount of cash is enough for the four of us to have a decent lunch," Star's Daughter replied.

"— — -seems like he's a very rich guy, I wonder if he'll feel bad about it" Tiger joked.

"Money is just a worldly possession, that curse caused his soul to be tortured, and Rabbit just saved him, he deserves such a reward" the Captain replied.

He randomly drew a few blank Cards and distributed them to everyone, then stuck the Card of the Altar onto the blank Cards, transferring the boxes of gold coins and cash over.

Liu Ping received a Card.

Lines of flaming text appeared in front of his eyes:

[Savings Card]

[Space Card, Storage Card]

[Usage: Attach your mind to the card and select the item you want to take out]

The Captain reminded him: "No need to be thrifty, but be careful, don't draw too much attention."

"Got it" Liu Ping replied.

They walked along the hill for a bit and soon saw the winding mountain road.

A large truck was passing by.

Star's Daughter drew a Card and looked at it, then said: "Using a vehicle to enter that big city will be very beneficial to us."

Tiger waved his hand at the truck.

The truck sped up and rushed past the four of them.

Tiger wanted to rush forward, but Captain stopped him.

"We're new here, don't cause trouble" the Captain said.

Tiger had no choice but to stop.

"I forgot to tell you that this is a materialistic and extravagant world" Star said.

"In Purgatory, which world isn't like that? It's all the work of the devils "Tiger said resentfully.

Not too far away, another truck approached.

Liu Ping drew a large amount of cash and waved his hand at the truck.

The truck stopped in front of them.

The driver opened his eyes wide: "Entering the city?"

"Yes" Liu Ping answered.

"Do you all have an ID card?"

"None"

"Hmph, so it's just a bunch of jobless people, then there's nothing I can do" the driver shook his head.

The truck slowly moved forward.

Liu Ping handed the cash over and said: "Help me out."

The driver didn't take it and resolutely said: "It's too dangerous to bring people without ID into the city, I'll also be dragged into it, even if you use a stack of cash to slap my face, I won't — —" freewebnøvel.com

Liu Ping took a stack of cash and threw it into the truck.

The driver couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the face by the stack of cash.

The truck suddenly stopped.

The door opened.

The driver spoke with a serious expression: "Get in."
