Chapter 40: Not bad luck
"Holy crap, you can do that?"
"I've been completely wasting my time!"
"I feel like I've opened the door to a whole new world!"
"Brother Nan is awesome..."
Zhou Nan, having received a good dose of flattery, saw that the three were quite interested and, wanting to offer some guidance, said, "If you want to play like this, first go and farm the Heroic Village Guard. You'll also need to team up. With two people, you can probably only kill the Granite Golem once per dungeon run. With three people, once you get the hang of it, killing it twice shouldn't be a problem!"
"Awesome, thanks for the guidance, Brother Xie Nan!"
"Brother Nan is a true tactical master! I never imagined you could use a tree-digging bug!"
"I really want to try it right now..."
Zhou Nan added, "There are many benefits to farming Granite Golems. The first time you kill one, you're very likely to get a Rock General. See my Rock General? I got it from killing a Granite Golem. Besides that, Granite Golems also drop Heart of Rock and Sword in Stone."
[Valkyrie Lin Yun] nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay, I've got it."
[When foes meet on a narrow path, run fast] said, "Such ruthless tactics and such valuable information, Brother Nan, you've shared them! I have no way to repay you, it seems I must offer myself in gratitude! Brother Nan, please open a clan and accept me!"
[Outrageous] said, "If Brother Nan starts a clan, anyone who doesn't join is a coward! I'll be the first to join!"
Zhou Nan said, "Once I reach level 20, I'll definitely open a clan. There's no rush now. I'll get tired of farming this Guardian Kasanaer first."
[Outrageous] raised his hand and asked, "Brother Nan, do you have any deck recommendations?"
Zhou Nan said, "I think the Rocket Raccoon and Starry Sky Stray Cat in the Arena Shop are pretty good, especially the Starry Sky Stray Cat. It's great value to redeem with Arena Points. If you have enough points, you can get ten or eight of them. I personally think they're much better than the Nine Lives Cat."
"The Starry Sky Stray Cat, it seems like it costs 50 points to exchange for one. How can I afford to exchange for ten?"
"Speaking of the arena, when are we going to team up for a match?"
"Once I reach level 9 and can summon granite golems, I'll carry you guys..."
Zhou Nan led the three [outrageous] guys through the dungeon, which was quite easy and enjoyable. These three guys had lively personalities and were not annoying.
Before we knew it, the dungeon was cleared, and an announcement rang out: "Slay the Murloc Leader, repel the Murloc attack! Congratulations to all warriors for successfully defending Kassanar!"
"Ding! Guardian of Casanall N4 difficulty unlocked!"
"Done! You have single-handedly killed over 10,000 Murlocs in a single battle, completing the dungeon achievement. You are hereby rewarded with an achievement chest..."
Zhou Nan summoned his dog Dodge and began counting the spoils of war. He then said to [Valkyrie Lin Yun] and the others, "Alright, the dungeon is cleared. You guys go farm the Heroic Village Guards. I'll update my cards and take a break for a while before we work on N4 together. Once the Grand Spectrum reaches level 9 and we can summon Rock Golems, we'll farm N5!"
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"Let's go, let's farm the Heroic Village Guard, then try digging up trees to fight the Granite Golem..."
The three of them, including Valkyrie Lin Yun, left quickly after adding Zhou Nan as a friend. Zhou Nan counted his loot and discovered that Panda Pan Kui had killed the Murloc ahead and actually obtained the second part of the "Cassandra's Treasure Map".
"I have two treasure maps now, but I'm still missing the third one. I wonder what kind of treasure I'll find once I have all of them."
Zhou Nan had a little expectation in his heart.
After leaving the instance, Zhou Nan began opening treasure chests.
Clearing the N3 difficulty level of "Guardian of Casanar" will reward you with a Level 3 Experience Chest, a Level 3 Material Chest, Blair's Gift Chest, and an Achievement Chest.
The Level 3 Experience Chest can randomly yield 200-300 experience points. Zhou Nan got 245 experience points, bringing his total experience points to 479.
Reaching level 7 requires 600 experience points. Zhou Nan only needs to open one more level 3 treasure chest to reach level 7.
The materials from the level 3 material chests weren't anything special. After Zhou Nan finished opening them, he gave most of the materials to his dog, Dodge, and had it store them in the warehouse.
After opening Blair's Gift Chest and Achievement Chest, Zhou Nan received 122 gold coins, a game points card worth 40, a Heroic Village Guard card, and an unidentified white card.
Zhou Nan first took out a Wild Black Bear Card and combined it with a Heroic Village Guard Card to obtain the eighth Heroic Bear Card.
As for the unidentified white cards, Zhou Nan had already collected five. At this moment, he identified them all at once and got [Little Fishman - Saint], [Big Fishman - Bol], [Deep Sea Cannon - Extinction II], [East Sea Giant Turtle - Spirit Overlord], and [Magic - Little Stone Falling from the Sky].
"Not bad luck!"
Among the five cards identified by Zhou Nan, the [Deep Sea Cannon - Extinction II] is a two-star white card. According to its attribute description, it can summon a deep sea cannon after use. Its setting is a siege vehicle with a range of 100 meters and very weak attack power.
【East Sea Giant Turtle - Spirit Overlord】is a three-star white card with mediocre stats.
【Magic - Little Stone Falling】is a pure magic card, a three-star white card. After use, it can summon a meteor to fall from the sky, dealing area physical damage to a designated area with a damage radius of five meters, a casting range of 30 meters, a base damage of 10 points, and a brief stun effect. Each use of the card costs 30 mana points, and the cooldown time is five minutes.
In the world of card games, there are players who focus on equipment, and of course, there are also players who focus on magic. However, the latter are rare and mostly unsuccessful because to use magic cards effectively, you need a massive amount of magic points, which most players simply cannot sustain.
Take the [Magic - Little Stone Fall] card for example. It consumes 30 magic points each time, and the damage it deals is actually just average, so the card value is not great.
However, the reason Zhou Nan felt that he was lucky was because he now had a completely different standard for judging the quality of cards than ordinary people.
What he values most right now is the name of the card!
I don't care about attributes at all!
What's the use of regular low-level cards? Aren't they just materials for crafting black cards?
If you have a good name, you might be able to create a miracle.
Because I have a talent for synthesizing black cards, the names of the synthesized black cards are formed by drawing characters from the names of the material cards. If I master this pattern, I can master the synthesis techniques.
"Saint, Overlord, Annihilation, Absolute, Giant, what wonderful characters! Now I'll try them out."
Zhou Nan was filled with anticipation. He decided to first combine the [Deep Sea Cannon - Extinction Type II] with the [Magic - Little Stone Falling], silently chanting in his mind, "Come on, combine me into a Fire Demon! Or a Sea Demon! If all else fails, a Cannon Demon will do! Now it's time to witness a miracle."
"Ding! This card synthesis requires 20 mana points... Congratulations, you have synthesized a two-star black card [Fire Mage - Annihilation]!"
The system notification made Zhou Nan exclaim "Holy crap!"
Fire magic! Annihilation of the heavens!
That's a powerful name! It's called "Destroy the Heavens," so it must be incredibly strong.
Zhou Nan quickly checked the card's attributes.
