My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 37 One Gang

"What's going on? Do these two know each other?"

Zhou Nan carefully looked at the information for the [Outrageous] dungeon. Good heavens, he was already level 8, and he had only cleared it twice!

Clearly, one of these two times was N1, and the other was N2!

There is a third player in the room, nicknamed "Fast Runner in a Narrow Path", level 6, with 4 completed attempts!

[Li Dapu] then said, "Oh, then I won't call you that. I salute you, sir. Greetings, sir. Let me introduce myself. I am Li Dapu, currently handling recruitment for six families, directly contacting the family heads. If you want to join a family, you've come to the right place!"

He clearly doesn't remember the nickname "Black Card Emperor".

Zhou Nan laughed and said, "You really are a business genius; you can even come up with this kind of business idea."

"Serving the public, hehe!"

The user "[Fast Runner When Encounters on a Narrow Road]" spoke up: "Welcome, veteran! Lin Yun said you're like us, a seasoned player returning to the game? Let's add each other as friends, form a fixed team, and run dungeons and arena together!"

Zhou Nan didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Do the three of you know each other? Are you in the same gang?"

"Ha ha!"

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] laughed and said, "You could say that. The second and third floors are my friends. We're all veterans who started playing again for some reason. Today has been incredibly unlucky. We finally got together to try and clear Kassanar on N3 difficulty, but we ran into two terrible players in a row, which wasted a lot of time. That's why we asked you to come and save the day. Da Pu, Run Fast, please introduce your main cards."

[Run Fast When You Meet on a Narrow Road] said: "My start was a bit bad. My main card is the three-star green Steam Bull. I'm a mount-based card warrior. The Steam Bull mount has the Charge skill and is positioned as a semi-tank warrior, which can quickly provide battlefield support."

"Mount-based strategy?"

Zhou Nan rubbed his chin.

Players have developed many different playstyles based on their card attributes or their own playstyles, such as the counter-damage playstyle, the trap playstyle, the kiting playstyle, the trap playstyle, and so on.

Some players enjoy charging into battle themselves, so they collect equipment cards like crazy, which forms the equipment-focused playstyle. Other players like mounts, so they collect cards that can summon mounts, which forms the mount-focused playstyle.

However, for low-level players to talk about playstyles is nonsense. They just use whatever cards they have. Where is the choice?

But that doesn't stop players from having dreams.

Zhou Nan still had some impression of the mount system. In the world of card games, some card summons can act as mounts. After the player rides the mount, their own attributes will be stacked with the mount's, and they can also share the mount's skills, so they can go into battle to kill enemies.

For example, the character "Watch Me Crush Me" clearly has a Triceratops that can be used as a mount. After "Watch Me Crush Me" rides it, his health bar and the Triceratops' health bar are combined into one.

However, card-summoned beasts that can be used as mounts are rare.

[Outrageous] said, "Lin Yun is an equipment-focused player, and Run Fast is a mount-focused player, while I... my style is mudslide. Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

"mudslide?"

Zhou Nan was taken aback. He had never heard of this before. What kind of school of thought was this?

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] said, "Da Pu, can't you be a little more reliable? He's talking nonsense. He doesn't even have a single playstyle. He's building a Night Owl deck right now."

"I already have two kittens. Sigh, the price of Night Owl cards in the auction house is outrageous right now. Even a one-star kitten costs over a thousand gold coins. I finally managed to buy two unbound ones. It's really hard to build a Nine Lives Cat deck now. But when I say I'm a mudslide, I'm not exaggerating. My main battle card is the Mud Golem, which can barely serve as a tank!"

"You have clay puppets..."

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat.

He knew a secret enhancement formula: using the Heart of Rock could enhance the Mud Golem, and there was a small chance it would transform into a Granite Golem.

If the Clay Golem that upgrades into the Granite Golem is the same as the one in the Wild Forest, then it's probably a blue card summon, since it has two skills.

Zhou Nan immediately had an idea and whispered, "Brother Li Dapu, I have a secret formula for enhancing clay puppets. Do you want it?"

"What? Of course I want it!"

"I'll take three hundred gold coins from you! My enhancement formula is no ordinary one; it has a chance to make your clay golem take off."

"Three hundred gold coins... We're all veterans, can you give us a discount?"

"Three hundred gold coins, a steal! This is a super enhancement recipe. You can resell it to others later, a guaranteed profit..."

Zhou Nan is not lying.

Selling enhancement recipes and crafting recipes is quite common in the world of card games. Some recipes can even fetch astronomical prices. Zhou Nan selling information about the Heart of Rock for 300 gold coins was a very reasonable price.

"That seems to be true, then I'll buy it!"

"Trade after you enter the instance! I have a suggestion for you: while the market is good, sell those two Night Owl cards for 2000 gold coins. Focus on training your Mud Golem; you might just take off!"

"real?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go sell the cards right away and be right back..."

[Outrageous] After saying that, he really left the room.

Zhou Nan was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Is this guy really that decisive?"

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] said, "This guy, has he really given up on the Nine-Lives Cat?"

[Run Fast When You Meet on a Narrow Road] said, "That noob Da Pu is just a buddy... N3 difficulty Casanare is a bit challenging. Black Card Emperor, will you carry us without us crashing?"

Zhou Nan said, "No problem. Just follow my instructions once we're in the instance. If any equipment or cards drop, I'll pick them first!"

He planned to assess the skill level of these three individuals. If they weren't too outrageous, he would mentor them a bit, develop a friendship with them, and eventually form a fixed team so they could team up to tackle the arena or other dungeons that couldn't be soloed.

"No problem, my only need is the Deep Sea Trident. If it comes out, I'll buy it with my money."

"I don't have any needs, I just want to clear the level, get some points, and that's all! Da Pu is a total freeloader!"

"Okay, then we'll drive when he gets back..."

Less than five minutes later, [Outrageous] re-entered the room and said, "Sold the Night Owl Card, feeling much better. Let's get going, Black Card Emperor, let's go inside and make the deal..."

Five seconds later, Zhou Nan saw [Valkyrie Lin Yun], [Outrageous], and [Fast Runner].

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] had already equipped herself with her armor and greatsword, and with a bang, she summoned the Cow Warrior.

That guy, who could run fast when they met on a narrow road, was actually quite handsome. He looked to be around twenty years old, with a fair complexion and a slightly thin build. He immediately summoned an iron-skinned bull, flipped over, and mounted it.

The iron-skinned bull mooed. It was about the same size as an ordinary adult water buffalo. Its body was covered with many iron lumps the size of a baby's fist. Its two horns were sharp, as if they were made of stainless steel. They were smooth and shiny, with small holes on them from which steam was rising. It trotted its front hooves, its eyes were bloodshot, and white steam was coming out of its nostrils.

It's obviously a steam-powered mad cow; judging by its appearance, it's probably quite powerful.

[Outrageous] He looks rather "outrageous". His face is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a flat head, thick lips, short chin, little nose bridge, and narrow, elongated eyes. His eyebrows are very distinctive, black and straight, as if they were drawn with a brush.

The guy immediately ran to Zhou Nan's side and whispered, "Secret recipe, secret recipe!"

As they were talking, he opened his storage backpack and began counting his gold coins.
