Chapter 60: The Cards Are No Longer Fitting
Chapter 60: The Cards Are No Longer Fitting
Among Zhou Nan's many summoned cards, the most suitable one to be used as a mount is definitely the panda Pan Mie.
A moment later, Zhou Nan put on the goblin helmet, shouldered the goblin machine gun, tossed aside his wolf fur coat, and rode his panda Pan Mie around his secret camp.
Panda Panmie's movement speed wasn't fast, but Zhou Nan was quite satisfied; having a mount improved his visibility.
"Next, let's try black card crafting. First, I'll go to the trading post and buy the materials!"
Zhou Nan now has 10367 gold coins, and he has decided to make a large-scale purchase.
Upon arriving at the trading post, Zhou Nan first sent a text message to the King of the Caves: "Are you there?"
In Zhou Nan's memory, this cave king was a conscientious merchant. Although the cards he sold were all low-level, the prices were quite low.
"The Murloc card is gone, and the Wild Mountain Black Bear card is gone too. I have twenty Murloc cards. If you want them, I'll give you a special price. It'll cost you 800 gold coins in total."
The Cave King replied instantly. He was now quite familiar with Zhou Nan and knew that Zhou Nan liked Murloc cards and Wild Black Bear cards.
"Alright! Put it on the trading post, I'll buy it in a bit. I still need to make more Murloc cards and Wild Black Bear cards, my demand is unlimited!"
"It's possible to do it, but let me make it clear first that the prices of these two types of cards will increase in the future, otherwise it won't be worthwhile. I don't have enough mana right now, so making higher-level cards will be more profitable."
"I get it! So you're admitting you have the [card creation] skill?"
Aren't you envious?
"Not bad! Do you have a family? If not, how about I introduce you to someone?"
"I have a family now, my own cave family!"
"Oh dear, that's such a pity!"
Zhou Nan did feel it was a pity. If he could bring the King of the Caves to his family and make him his personal card maker, that would be awesome.
"There's nothing to regret. We can cooperate. I can sell you the card samples I make at a discount."
"So what kind of cards can you make now? Do you have any high-level ones?"
"The card crafting recipe is hard to come by. I can only make seven types of cards right now, all of them are one-star white cards: Murloc Card, Big Murloc Card, Plague Doctor Card, Twin Blade Warrior Card, Sand Dune Crocodile Card, Wild Black Bear Card, and Sword Guard Card. The strongest of them is the Sword Guard Card. If you want it, it's 300 gold coins a piece."
"Your name only has two characters? That's good, give me ten to look at first!"
"The boss is awesome!"
A moment later, Zhou Nan acquired twenty Big Fishman cards and ten Sword Guard cards.
He continued browsing the trading houses.
There were still too few cards available for purchase in the trading house. Cards with slightly better attributes were ridiculously expensive. Zhou Nan looked at almost every card available and finally bought three God's Believer cards, five Little Devil cards, ten Emperor Crab cards, ten Mysterious Butterfly cards, and one Ice Wolf King card.
Among them, the Ice Wolf card is a six-star green card. Zhou An thinks this card is good. The Ice Wolf King comes with a passive skill called Freezing Strike. Targets attacked by it will have their movement speed and attack speed greatly reduced. Even if it is not used to synthesize black cards, it is good for personal use.
Good cards are expensive, of course; this one alone cost Zhou Nan six thousand gold coins.
The other cards were all one-star white cards. Zhou Nan mainly bought them because of their names, treating them as materials for combining cards.
After this spending spree, Zhou Nan had only 7 gold coins left out of his more than 10,000.
"Spending money like water..."
Zhou Nan sighed slightly and put all the Sunset Forest Entry Permits in his storage backpack up for sale, a total of 35, with a uniform price of 200 gold coins each.
It's worth mentioning that, with Zhou Nan's permission, [Li Da Pu] spread the information that the Heart of Rock could strengthen the Mud Golem, causing the price of the Heart of Rock in the trading market to rise slightly. Currently, the average price of the Heart of Rock in the trading market is 1000 gold coins, and there are about 20 to 30 Hearts for sale.
Zhou Nan has a total of 36 Hearts of Rock, all of which have been listed on the trading house for 1000 gold each.
"Thirty-five Sunset Forest Entry Permits are worth seven thousand gold, and 36 Stone Hearts are worth thirty-six thousand gold. If I sell them all, it will be a good income. Next, I'll check my inventory and head to the Card Training Grounds to combine cards..."
After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan quickly headed towards the mission hall.
Upon reaching level ten, he unlocked the special dungeon, "Card Training Grounds."
The Card Training Ground is basically a place to show off your cards. It's divided into single card training grounds and deck training grounds, where players can test the combat power of their cards. There are many test levels and player arenas that allow players to engage in card battles.
In addition, the Card Training Ground also has an embedded evaluation system and recommendation system. Players can evaluate and score cards and decks, which has led to the leaderboard and the emergence of many star cards and "card critics".
The Card Training Grounds are indeed a good place to test the practical ability of cards. Players do not need to consume mana to use cards in the grounds, and the death of summoned cards will not have any impact.
Zhou Nan then thought of testing the upgraded Black Card Synthesis Talent while putting the Black Cards he synthesized into the Card Training Ground for real-world testing.
In fact, Zhou Nan already has a lot of cards. His own 100-slot storage backpack plus Dodge's 20-slot storage backpack can't hold them all.
Each card is unique; they may have the same prefix but different suffixes, so they cannot be stored together.
Zhou Nan has completed the [Guardian of Kasanaar] dungeon fifty times, including one time achieving the Murloc 666 achievement and two times in the hidden mode city fortress. The remaining forty-seven dungeon runs yielded Heroic Village Guardian cards, so he now has forty-seven Heroic Guardian cards!
不算【小狗•道奇】、【装备•哥布林铁盔】、【狼皮大衣•变身款】、【武器哥布林机枪】这4张不占储物格的卡牌,周南常备在身的就有【岩石将军•大滚】、【熊猫•潘灭】、【火龟•灭霸】、哼哈四野、【剑蝶•强芬】、【兽医•二流】、【炮徒•登雷】、【变异血脉鱼人•天天】、【鱼人勇士•鲨利曼】、【鱼人勇士•鲨利氟】这13张主战卡牌,以及积攒下的未鉴定的白色卡牌19张、血脉鱼人卡12张、小鱼人卡牌4张,野战黑熊卡3张。
That's 100 cards! If you add the batch you bought from the trading house, that makes 159. Zhou Nan can only store a batch in the warehouse for now.
In Zhou Nan's understanding, the key to cards is quality, not quantity. Too many cards are not only troublesome to use, but also consume more magic and are difficult to store. It is necessary to keep them as simple as possible, and this is a good opportunity to synthesize them properly.
A moment later, Zhou Nan arrived at the mission lobby and quickly brought up the information page for the [Card Training Ground] dungeon on the dungeon mission display screen.
This page displays the weekly star card rankings.
