Chapter 18 6-Star Green Card

"Oops, I've created a follower pet!"

Zhou Nan was amused.

Pets are rare in the world of card games; they are special card summons. Regular card summons or summons will automatically revert to cards and return to the player's inventory when the player exits a dungeon or certain special scenarios.

The pet can exist indefinitely; as long as it doesn't die, it will stay by its owner's side. It will only turn back into a card when it is killed, and can be summoned again after 24 hours.

Generally, companion pets have a hidden ability: they come with a pet backpack. This allows them to help their owners pick up, store, and sell items. This ability is not mentioned in the card description; you need to summon the companion pet to see its attributes for details.

Without hesitation, Zhou Nan immediately used the black card to summon the dog, Dodge.

This is a little puppy, somewhat resembling a Corgi. It's less than 30 centimeters long, chubby, with light yellow, fluffy fur and four short legs. It looks very cute. After it appeared, it circled around Zhou Nan, running around happily.

"Come here!" Zhou Nan called softly, and the little puppy ran to Zhou Nan, put its two little paws on Zhou Nan's calves, and wagged its little tail rapidly.

Zhou Nan checked its attribute information and found that the little guy had a "treasure map" equipment slot and 20 storage slots.

The treasure map equipment slot is not a regular item equipment slot; only complete treasure maps can be equipped in it. If Dodge the dog equips a treasure map, it can automatically go treasure hunting, which can be considered its innate ability.

"Little guy, can you pick up items?" Zhou Nan asked.

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"

The puppy Dodge barked and nodded, which meant it was okay.

Do you sell items?

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"

The puppy Dodge nodded again.

"Here, store this black goat's horn in the warehouse!"

Zhou Nan tossed a Black Goat Horn at the little dog Dodge.

The puppy Dodge pounced on the Black Goat's Horn with its paw and put it into its storage backpack. Then, wagging its little tail, it ran happily towards the warehouse.

Zhou Nan followed it and eventually found that the little guy was quite reliable, and actually stored the [Black Goat's Horn] in the warehouse.

"Go, get me the black goat's horn again from the warehouse!"

Zhou Nan then gave the order.

The puppy Dodge looked at Zhou Nan with a puzzled expression, then quickly ran into the warehouse. It soon came out again, pounced on the ground with its two front paws in front of Zhou Nan, and the [Black Goat Horn] appeared.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Nan thought to himself that this little guy seemed quite smart. It seemed that his black card synthesis was not a loss after all, but rather a big profit.

After all, having a pet is a rare opportunity, and Dodge the puppy is only a little lacking in stats, but otherwise it's quite good.

"From now on, you'll be working for me. Come on, I'll take you to run some dungeons!"

Zhou Nan teased the puppy for a bit, then took it to the quest lobby, opened the dungeon quest window, and started farming [Guardian of Kassanar] again.

As for the difficulty level, it remains N1.

Upon entering the instance space, Zhou Nan held up three fingers to the dog Dodge and said, "There are three tasks in this instance. First, defeat the Wild Monster King, Granite Golem! Second, farm Sludge Blocks, try to collect 50 to upgrade and star up the Swamp Slime, Elizabeth. Third, have the Cannon Tuden fire at the Murloc Cannonballs to increase its firing proficiency! Three objectives, prioritize the first! Clear strategy, clear tasks, let's go!"

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!" The little dog Dodge wagged its tail and barked along. Of course, it couldn't understand what Zhou Nan was saying, but it seemed to understand.

Next, Zhou Nan didn't waste any more time. Just like last time, he had Panda Panda guard the west road and Solo the hero guard the east road, while he himself, along with Buu the hero and Dodge the dog, moved bricks.

Of course, Dodge the dog was just a lazy bum, hanging around behind Zhou Nan, and he didn't know how to move bricks at all.

This time, Zhou Nan completed the brick-moving task in just over thirteen minutes, and the second wave of small fish had just begun to spawn.

After the fortifications were completed, Zhou Nan had Panda guard the south gate and didn't even bother building the Hero Bear Watchtower. He took Hero Bear Solo and Hero Bear Buu to the Wild Monster Forest, where he did herb gathering quests while the two bears began cutting down the trees he had previously selected.

Zhou Nan is trying to dig up trees to clear a path and directly attack the granite golem.

"Panda Panda's defense in front is enough. If the two Heroic Bear Watchtowers focus fire on the Granite Golem, the damage per second will be 88. Theoretically, it would take 1364 seconds, or about 23 minutes, to kill the Granite Golem with 12 HP! This time we'll definitely be able to take down this big boss. I wonder what kind of loot we'll get. I've never heard of anyone being able to kill this monster before!"

Zhou Nan silently calculated that after he finished his herb collection task, the two bears had also dug half of the forest path. So Zhou Nan joined the logging team and swung axes with the two bears.

Ten minutes later, the path was dug, and two bear watchtowers were built side by side in the woods. The bear Solo and the hero Rob roared at the same time and began throwing axes at the granite golem across the woods.

The instance had only been open for less than fifty minutes.

Zhou Nan watched the show from a distance with his dog Dodge. He saw the four-story-tall granite golem walking around the woods, unable to use its skills and only able to roar in helpless anger.

Everything went extremely smoothly. In the end, it was almost exactly as Zhou Nan had calculated in theory, around twenty-three minutes. The granite golem collapsed with a thud, like a small mountain collapsing. Its body quickly turned into rubble and then disappeared again.

"Ding! You have successfully defeated the Granite Golem for the first time, completing the dungeon achievement. You have received 100 game points, 30 diamonds, and 1 Granite Golem kill certificate."

A pleasant system notification sounded, and Zhou Nan was overjoyed, exclaiming, "30 diamonds! What a generous reward!"

He quickly went forward to find the spoils, but the little dog Dodge ran even faster than him. The little guy barked and pawed at the ground twice before putting the two items into his storage backpack, much faster than Zhou Nan.

When the rock golem dies, it drops those two items.

Zhou Nan called the dog Dodge over and immediately discovered that it had found the Heart of Rock and an unidentified green card!

"I've received my green card!"

Zhou Nan was overjoyed and immediately used two skill points to upgrade the general skill Appraisal to level two.

Only when the identification skill is upgraded to level two can it identify green cards.

"Ding! Your Appraisal skill has reached LV2!"

"Ding! Identifying this card requires 20 mana points. Do you wish to identify it?"

"Authenticity confirmed!"

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining the 6-star green card [Rock General - Big Roll]."

"Holy crap, a six-star green card, high armor and high HP, plus an aura skill, this is amazing!"

Zhou Nan was overjoyed, but also frustrated. Although the six-star green card was powerful, he could only use it after leveling up to level 5, and each use would consume 160 magic points, so he couldn't summon it immediately to see what it looked like.
