Chapter 582: Ghost Troops

No one looked for trouble with Liu Ping.

They would die if they fought him.

Even a fool would know that they shouldn’t rush forward when faced with such a warning talisman.

But they had already surrounded him.

"Huh? Aren’t you very fierce? According to your rules, if I don’t dare to fight you, I’ll have to take out all my money, or else I’ll die a horrible death, "Liu Ping said.

People started to have a bad feeling about this.

Is this guy going to use the same method to deal with us?

Liu Ping gently said: "But I’m a kind person, I won’t do things your way ..."

"So I won’t take your money."

As soon as he said that, everyone secretly sighed in relief.

"Sir"

Someone immediately wanted to follow up, but Liu Ping waved his hand, indicating that he wasn’t done yet.

He smiled and said to everyone: "Actually, I’m more interested in something else."

"Everyone, go to hell!"

He clenched his fist and was about to throw a punch.

Lines of silver text suddenly jumped out and appeared in front of his eyes:

"[These are the fresh blood selected by the Lord of Nightmares, if you kill one, you’ll have to compensate them accordingly]"

"[Perhaps you can spare them]"

"[The way they’ll win their lives is to take out all their money]"

Liu Ping went silent for a few moments.

The Lord of Nightmares probably needs people now, if I kill too many of its subordinates, it might be unhappy.

If it’s unhappy, I won’t be able to approach it.

I have to approach it.

Then ...

He retracted his fist and sighed: "Alright, take out your money to buy your lives"

Mother Earth suddenly whispered, "Liu Ping, there’s someone using a technique to conceal his aura. However, he’s secretly accumulating his mana and wants to sneak an attack on you. Don’t look, he’s right behind you, the man in purple."

God also chimed in, "It’s normal for someone to value money more than their life, look, his time of death has come."

As soon as he said that, the person moved.

A beam of light shot out from his eyes, but Liu Ping dodged it and threw a punch back.

Dong!

The Professionist was sent flying through the air, rolling on the snowy ground.

"Don’t kill me! I’m willing to take out all my wealth and equipment as compensation! "

He immediately shouted.

Liu Ping glanced at the void and saw lines of burning words floating motionlessly:

"[You dodged his disintegration ray.]"

[Disintegration Ray: Immediately disintegrates a target’s body to achieve the effect of killing the target.]

[This kind of ray is extremely unstable. The stronger the opponent, the lower the probability of it being effective. However, there is still a chance to kill an extremely powerful opponent.]

All the small characters were retracted.

The man’s voice gradually stopped.

Blood continued to flow out of his mouth as he fell to the ground, motionless.

Liu Ping had used all his strength in that punch. After all, he did not know where the other party came from, so it directly shattered his internal organs.

"Sorry, I really didn’t want to kill him, but it was to protect myself."

Liu Ping said to the silver words in the void.

Those small silver words instantly changed into a new line of prompts.

"[Self-defense goes unpunished.]"

Alright, I understand now.

Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the remaining people.

Those people didn’t wait for him to say anything. One by one, they took out their storage equipment and placed it in front of Liu Ping.

Liu Ping nodded slightly. He was surprised to find that these people’s net worth had exceeded his expectations.

However, thinking of their joint robbery, such wealth seemed reasonable.

"That’s great." God praised softly.

"These are all Liu Ping’s. They have nothing to do with you." Mother Earth sneered.

"It’s alright. Of course, they are Liu Ping’s ... I just feel a little relieved." God said.

"Relieved?" Mother Earth asked curiously.

"That’s right. Think about it. We rode Noah’s Ark to a parallel world. Once we reach the future, we’ll have to ride Noah’s Ark back. When that happens, we’ll still need to spend a lot of money to start the Ark," God reminded.

"... I can’t be bothered with you. You greedy old man." Mother Earth scolded.

Liu Ping did not join the conversation.

He stood there silently. What happened just now flashed across his mind.

For some reason, he felt that something was strange.

What was it?

At this time, the others returned to their original positions.

From now on, they only needed to wait for the results of the qualification assessment.

It was silent all around.

Only the snowflakes floated quietly.

Suddenly, Liu Ping’s gaze moved. He recovered from his state of mind.

Yes.

Now he knew what was wrong.

Although everything that was happening in this world was cruel from the very beginning, it was a very efficient selection mechanism.

In the main timeline, this Lord of Nightmares had a selection mechanism.

Nightmare Crypt.

Why did it keep selecting people?

Putting aside human emotions, the final results of these things that happened to him were extremely reasonable and logical.

For example, the robbery just now.

Because those who could pass the qualification selection were very rare and precious, they advised him not to kill.

But if someone attacked first, the sequence would make a reasonable judgment.

In stark contrast, there was the Nightmare King.

It was indeed powerful. But in the entire process of hunting him, it only considered two things:

The desire to eat.

Whether it was interesting enough.

In comparison, the two Lords of Nightmares’ judgment and reaction were too different.

The former was based on logic that was biased towards rationality.

The latter was based on ego.

What did this mean?

Perhaps ...

The so-called Lords of Nightmares were just the same name, but they were not the same kind of existence?

At this moment.

Everyone’s expression changed. They stared at the void in front of them.

The qualification assessment had begun!

Liu Ping also looked at the void. A few lines of notifications appeared in front of his eyes:

"[You have obtained a special qualification.]"

"[You have taken up a hidden soldier profession: Ghost Soldier.]"

"[The current world is about to border with other worlds. Join the War of Nightmares.]"

"[Personal mission announcement:]"

"[Under the premise of ensuring your own survival, arrive at Hidden Supply Camp No. 3011. There is some knowledge and skills about ’Ghost Soldier’ there.]"

"[As a recruit, you need to learn the power of ’Emergence’.]"

All the small words disappeared.

A box half the height of a person fell from the void and opened in front of Liu Ping.

Inside was a set of fluorescent combat suits.

Liu Ping looked at the others. An equipment box appeared in front of each of them.

Six of them were wearing gray combat suits. They quickly conversed with each other:

"Are you the reporting mission of the Vanguard Corps?"

"Yes."

"Me too."

"Let’s go. I’m the captain of the recruit squad. We have to reach the frontline before dawn tomorrow."

"Let’s go!"

The six of them put on their combat suits and ran in the same direction. Soon, they disappeared.

Other than Liu Ping, there were three people left.

They looked at the combat suits in each other’s hands.

They were all dressed in black.

"Then, we’re the assault squad."

"After all, we’re much stronger than those trash."

"Let’s go. The assault mission is in this direction. Time is of the essence, we have to leave immediately."

The three of them nodded to each other, put on their combat suits and left.

Only Liu Ping was left.

He picked up the glowing combat suit and was a bit hesitant.

These people’s missions all had a time limit and seemed to be very urgent.

But his mission description was completely different.

He looked at the line of small words in the void of space again.

"[Under the premise of ensuring your own survival, arrive at Hidden Supply Camp No. 3011.]"

Ensuring my own survival.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and put on the combat suit.

In an instant, he realized that he was gone.

A line of burning text appeared.

[Shadow Combat Suit.]

[Rare.]

[This is a combat suit that allows you to blend into your surroundings and avoid danger.]

[Bonus stats:]

[Dexterity + 1, Evasion + 1, Magic Resistance + 5.]

[Only the warriors who are the focus of attention will be able to obtain such armor.]

The burning text disappeared and the silver text appeared.

"[Please follow the map’s instructions and arrive at Hidden Supply Camp No. 3011.]"

"[You can avoid danger if you encounter it.]"

A translucent map appeared in front of Liu Ping.

He looked at the markings on the map.

Carefully recalling the directions of the two groups of people just now, they were heading to places marked with "Battle."

And the place he was heading to was deep in an uninhabited snowfield, a hidden place at the back of the canyon.

The difference in treatment was very obvious.

But

Who was the enemy of this war?

Liu Ping didn’t ask.

The others seemed to take everything for granted, so he couldn’t ask too much. After all, he sneaked in.

But this kind of thing, there was still someone he could ask.

God’s voice suddenly sounded. "You want to ask who the enemy is? That’s easy, the enemy is another Lord of Nightmares. "
