Chapter 694: The Ruins Bazaar

A streak of light shot through the sky and landed in a pile of rubble.

Liu Ping and Heaven Child appeared.

"What is this place?" Liu Ping asked.

"I don’t know either, it’s a World Thread I got from a fruit, I have a lot of these things." Little Fairy smiled and replied.

Liu Ping looked around.

Only to see a few black figures standing on a street paved with rubble.

Sounds of excitement could be heard from further away.

This place seemed to be a market.

Little Fairy walked to the corner of the street, put the basket on the ground, and sat down with her back against the wall.

— — -from the looks of it, she wants to set up a stall here.

Liu Ping looked at the colorful fruits in the basket and asked: "Are you planning to do business?"

"I’ve been imprisoned for too long, and my ability doesn’t allow me to collect wealth. What’s the saying again, it’s hard to do anything without money?" Little Fairy replied.

"That’s true, I don’t have much money either." Liu Ping replied.

At this point, a black figure slowly appeared in front of the two of them and pointed at the fruits in the basket:

"How much are they?"

Little Fairy looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping observed the other party and replied: "Exchange for information, or a different route, you can sell them for money as well."

— — The black figure must be using a technique to conceal his original appearance to hide his identity.

"What route do you want?" the black figure asked.

"How to reach the deepest part of Eternal Night as quickly as possible." Liu Ping replied.

The black figure shook his head and turned to leave.

"That won’t do, you don’t even know that and you dare to come out to do business?" Heaven Child complained.

The black figure stopped.

He slowly turned around: "Try saying that again?"

Heaven Child was surprised, as if she wasn’t used to someone talking to her like that.

A second later.

She smiled and muttered: "You look so scary."

Bam!

A small sound.

No one saw how she did it — — -

In short.

The black figure was gone.

A bright red fruit now appeared in the basket.

"No need to rush, rather than running around like a headless fly, it’s better to do business here, someone will eventually know the relevant information." Little Fairy turned to Liu Ping and said.

Liu Ping replied: "Killing people like that ... isn’t a good idea."

"He was thinking about how I would look without any clothes on, and how to fuse with my world." Little Fairy replied.

"You can’t eat people just because of this." Liu Ping said.

"You should understand that to live is to eat or be eaten, in every sense of the word. Those who can’t see this are all lambs." Fairy Child said.

"I just feel that it hasn’t reached that stage yet. A small punishment is enough." Liu Ping shrugged.

Little Fairy giggled, picked out a rotten fruit from the basket, and whispered, "Transform."

With a light sound, the fruit turned into a card.

"You’ve expended a lot of energy during the battle in the cage, so I’ll give you this card as a supplement."

She stuffed the card into Liu Ping’s hands.

Lines of burning words appeared before Liu Ping’s eyes.

[World Fruit (Dead)]

[This world-type lifeform is already dead and has been ’carded’ to preserve its life, so that you can absorb the Laws within it at any time]

Liu Ping sighed and could only accept it silently.

— — -Lady Mystery needed to absorb the power of the Laws.

Little Fairy was already his companion, so there was no need for him to be pretentious. He should just accept this card directly.

"Thank you."

Liu Ping received the card, looked around, and said: "Let’s go, I don’t know how long it’ll take to sell things like this. Let’s look around, there should be a place to exchange information in the market."

Little Fairy replied: "Go ahead — — I’m still used to setting up my stall and enjoying the feeling of freedom."

She picked up a few more fruits, turned them into cards, and gave them to Liu Ping before sitting down with a satisfied expression on her face.

Liu Ping didn’t force her and agreed to meet up here in a few hours, then walked along the street in search of a place to exchange information.

Watching him slowly walk away, Little Fairy’s face slowly filled with smiles.

In truth, ever since she was resurrected, she could faintly sense an extremely powerful bond of fate connecting her and the other party.

"The trio of the world’s death ... how annoying. Fortunately, he’s not the kind of person who insists on controlling me."

Little Fairy softly hummed a song.

Liu Ping isn’t the kind of person who insists on controlling everything, nor does he seem like the kind of person who would force me to do something.

He’s not the kind of person that I hate.

Since he’s not here, I can set up my stall and kill people at the same time.

She took out a fruit from her basket and slowly ate it while smiling: "Just now, you wanted to eat me, but now I’m eating you, do you like it?"

The fruit kept screaming and begging, but she ate it bite by bite until there was nothing left.

The screams attracted the attention of the other shadows on the street.

A few shadows silently drifted over and stared at the fruits in Little Fairy’s basket.

"That guy is selling World Fruits ..."

Someone muttered.

Little Fairy smiled and replied: "That’s right, do you want to buy some?"

"You don’t even have a concealment technique, this is your first time here, right?" one of the shadows asked.

"That’s right, I haven’t come out for a long time, so this is indeed my first time here." Little Fairy admitted.

"Newcomer, if you want to do business here, you’ll have to pay a huge fee." the shadow spoke with ill intentions.

"Fee?" Little Fairy appeared contemplative and muttered: "Unfortunately, I don’t have any money."

"Your fruits can be used to pay the fee." the shadow said.

"To whom?" Little Fairy asked.

"Us." the shadow replied.

"Oh, I see. I have another idea." Little Fairy said happily as she looked at the people around her.

"What is it?" the shadow asked.

"Kill all of you, that way, no one will be able to steal my fruits." Little Fairy replied.

The black shadows were all on guard.

One of them spoke: "Don’t be naive, this place is managed by our entire organization, if you try to attack us, you’ll only end up being surrounded by our entire organization. I advise you to obediently hand over the fruits in your hands, that’s the only way to survive."

Little Fairy was shocked and hurriedly asked: "You have an organization?"

"Of course, there are all sorts of wars going on in Evernight, only we have the power to establish a place for trading." the shadow replied.

"You must have a lot of people." Little Fairy said.

"Cut the crap. Go, bring me all her fruits." The black shadow commanded.

Several black figures rushed forward.

Little Fairy’s eyes glowed and rubbed her hands: "Now I have a lot of fruits ..."

...

At another location.

Liu Ping slowly walked along the street.

Three, two, one.

After he finished counting, a line of burning text silently appeared in the void of space:

[The Four Saint Pillars are beginning to rotate]

[The Saint Pillar of Fire is already far away, the current Pillar of Rotation is:]

[Saint Pillar of Wind]

[Thanks to the power of the Saint Pillar of Wind, you’ve obtained a brand new Mobile Mech:]

[Martial Breaker]

[The armor has been loaded and can be activated at any time]

Liu Ping glanced at it and understood.

— — -This was Master Pao’s ability.

In fact, if one were to be serious, none of the four Saint Pillar Gods were ordinary gods.

There was no need to talk about God.

Master Pao was one of the first batch of gods to be born.

The fairy, Rita, was the champion of the first peekaboo competition. She was also the princess of the fairies and possessed countless witchcraft.

Earth Mother Gaia was the only Earth Deity who had inherited all female world-type life forms from countless eras ago, the only one in countless parallel worlds.

The power of the Four Saint Pillars far surpassed that of any normal Deity.

Liu Ping silently thought as he walked forward, then finally saw an open-air gathering place.

There were tables and chairs here, as well as various exotic foods and drinks.

Quite a few shadows were gathered here, whispering to one another.

— — -obviously, this was a good place to exchange information and do business.

Liu Ping happily walked forward and found an empty spot to sit down, then waited for the waiter to come before saying:

"Just give me a drink. I want to ask around for some information."

The waiter nodded and left.

Very quickly, a large golden drink was placed on the table in front of Liu Ping.

"This must be your first time here." the waiter said.

"That’s right." Liu Ping nodded.

There was nothing to hide, since everyone else had the shadow technique to hide their appearance and figure, but he didn’t.

He was clearly new here.

"You’ll need to pay a bit of wealth to join the ruins market." the waiter said.

"No problem, how much is it?" Liu Ping asked.

"You’ll need to check the item in your hand."

"Alright."

Liu Ping put his hand on the [Blade of Illusion].

The [Blade of Illusion] was extremely rare, even the two-headed man didn’t want to use it to repay his debt of saving his life.

With that in mind, he put the Blade away and took out the fruit Cards that Little Fairy gave him — — -

Two of them were given to Lady Mystery to help her recover her powers.

I still have three more.

He took one out and placed it on the table.

"Is this enough?" Liu Ping asked.

"It is, please wait a moment." the waiter nodded and took the Card away.

Liu Ping took a sip of the drink, then looked at the UI that reminded him that this was a drink that was beneficial to world-type life forms, silently marveling at it.

Eternal Night is truly an unimaginable place.

It buries the corpses of all existences, imprisons all kinds of prisoners, as well as countless existences fighting and devouring one another here — — -

But Eternal Night also had places where one could trade and rest.

He felt something in his heart and suddenly looked up.

Several shadows silently appeared and hurriedly flew towards a certain direction on the street.

Liu Ping didn’t think too much about it and took another sip.

"Welcome! Welcome to the ruins market."

A voice called out.

Liu Ping looked behind him, only to see a shadow being led here by the waiter.

"You are?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is our information merchant here, I assume you’re looking for him." the waiter introduced him.

"Nice to meet you." Liu Ping nodded at the other party.
