My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 61 Synthesizing a Great Demon

The rankings in the "Celebrity Card Ranking" do not represent the strength of the cards; they are a popularity ranking.

However, in most cases, popular cards are also pretty good.

The leaderboard homepage only displays the top ten cards. The complete leaderboard has a total of one thousand slots. You can view the specific evaluation information of the cards on the list. For example, the number one ranked card, 【Scarred Black Dragon Dapura】, currently has a popularity value of 986788 and has received "over 1 million likes". The evaluation tags include "Invincible in 1v1", "King of Battle", "Super Physical Attack", and so on. These evaluation tags are all left by players.

Additionally, there is a "Star Deck Ranking" in the "Card Training Grounds," but this ranking is not as popular as the "Star Card Ranking." Currently, the top-ranked deck is the "Nine Lives Cat Deck," followed by the "Tall, Short, Fat, and Thin Deck," and then the "Journey to the West Deck." These decks are all named by the players themselves, and most of them do not have any special effects. The only known special effect is the Nine Lives Cat's "Shared Fate" effect.

Zhou Nan wasn't very interested in these two celebrity rankings. There were no rewards for being on the list; it was just a way to boost his fame. Besides, even if his cards were powerful, he wouldn't make it onto the rankings without enough players liking and commenting on them.

"The Fighting Family, the Red Card Family, the Justice Family—as expected, these three families have some good cards... What's up with Bai Yueting from the Red Card Family? Is he really a Red Card professional? Surgeon, Blood Beast—both are Red Cards..."

Zhou Nan also gained a lot of information from this ranking list.

Before this, Zhou Nan didn't know much about the [Card Training Ground].

After studying it for a while, he discovered that he could now accept three tasks in the [Card Training Ground]. The first task was to use any card to clear the ninth level of [Card Training]. Upon completion of the task, he would be rewarded with 100 game points.

The second task is to pass the ninth level of the [Deck Training] using any deck. You can choose a two-card deck, a three-card deck, a four-card deck, and so on. The reward for the task is still 100 game points.

The third task is to accumulate 10 wins in the [Player Arena], regardless of card section or arena type. Completing the task will unlock the construction of the "Secret Camp Training Ground". After unlocking, players will have their own card training ground in their secret camp.

As for the functions of this exclusive training ground, Zhou Nan is currently unaware, as he has never unlocked it before.

Zhou Nan felt that these three training tasks still needed to be reviewed.

After getting a little familiar with the controls of the [Card Training Ground], Zhou Nan created a "Single Training Room," clicked "Start Game," and five seconds later, he was teleported into the training ground instance.

"Ding! You have entered the Card Training Grounds. Please find a Card Trainer to begin your training!"

A pleasant system notification sounded.

Zhou Nan looked around and found himself standing on a bleacher's platform. Below him was a circular platform with a diameter of about 500 meters, somewhat like an ancient colosseum. Not far in front of him was a small angel with snow-white wings.

This little angel has the word "Trainer" written on its head, clearly indicating it's an NPC!

"Welcome! I'm the Card Trainer. Talk to me to start or end your card training! Please note that cards appearing in the Card Training Arena will be backed up in the Training Arena database. You can test cards and decks for free, or pay coins to challenge star cards, match with other players in the Arena, and open the Training Arena. I will promptly remind you of relevant information!"

"There are also paid services."

Zhou Nan muttered something to himself. He wasn't in a hurry to test the cards and started playing with card synthesis instead.

Synthesizing cards in this card training ground still requires magic, but using cards does not consume magic. Zhou Nan thought he could just throw out the synthesized black cards to see what they looked like, saving some magic points.

He first identified the 19 unidentified white cards one by one, and all of them turned out to be useless white cards. Then he experimented with low-level card synthesis.

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 30 mana points. Your six-star white cards [Smurf Red], [Smurf Tail], and [Smurf Bucky] will be synthesized into a mutated black card... Congratulations on obtaining the six-star black card [Smurf Red Tail]."

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 30 mana points. Your six-star white cards [Murloc - Fish Driver], [Murloc - Water Jar], and [Murloc - Green Algae Head] will be synthesized into a mutated black card... Congratulations on obtaining the six-star black card [Murloc - Fish Jar]..."

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 20 mana points. Your six-star white cards [Big Fishman Chenos] and [Big Fishman Mahad] will be synthesized into a mutated black card. Congratulations on obtaining the six-star black card [Master Chen]..."

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 30 magic points. Your six-star black cards [Master Chen De], [Master Snowworm], and [Master Oilscar] will be synthesized into a mutated black card... Congratulations on obtaining the six-star black card [Great Master Chen Worm Scar]..."

After some experimentation, Zhou Nan acquired quite a few synthesis formulas.

After upgrading his Black Card Synthesis Talent, Zhou Nan can still synthesize cards using only two cards, guaranteeing a Black Card with a prefix and suffix that are both two characters long. Synthesizing Black Cards with the same two-character name also has an enhancement effect.

For example, you can combine two Big Fishman cards to create an Adult card, or combine two Adult cards to create an Enhanced Adult card.

If you combine three cards, the combination rules remain the same. For example, if you combine three Murloc cards, the resulting mutated black card will have the prefix "Murloc". If you combine three Big Murloc cards, the resulting mutated black card will have the prefix "Big Murloc".

In short, the name of the synthesized black card is still a combination of one character each from the names of the material cards, and there is no fixed combination rule.

If three cards with two-character names are combined, such as three adult cards, the resulting card is "Big Adult Card".

Zhou Nan guessed that following this pattern, he could also synthesize "Little Man Cards" and "Wild Man Cards" and the like.

However, Zhou Nan's attempts to synthesize black cards resulted in rather poor attributes. For example, the black Murloc cards and Murloc cards summoned Murlocs and Murlocs that were entirely black after use, and their attributes were not much different from ordinary Murlocs and Murlocs. Such synthesis was clearly a loss.

For example, the "Adult Card" and the "Greater Adult Card" have poor attributes. The Adult Card summons a strong, unarmed middle-aged man whose job is warrior. As for the Greater Adult Card, Zhou Nan thought it would summon a giant, but it summoned a hunchbacked old man with a lot of white beard. His attributes were very poor, and he could not even walk properly. His job was actually the same as the villain's: assassin!

Zhou Nan was speechless at this.

In short, all his synthesis experiments produced only junk cards. In the end, he used up all the Big Murloc cards, Little Murloc cards, Wild Black Bear cards, and 19 newly identified white cards, for a total of 56 cards. He produced one [Wild Man Hasu] and one [Big Wild Man Fish Red Chen].

Among them, [Wild Man Hasu] was specially left by Zhou Nan, while [Great Wild Man Yu Hongchen] is a combination of fifty-four cards.

When Zhou Nan first saw the Big Savage Card, he was initially excited, thinking that a stronger card than the Savage Card had been released. However, after looking at the attributes, he realized that the Big Savage was an old savage with a very slow attack speed. Its class was set as a tank, which was not as good as the ordinary savage.

"It seems that unless you can come up with a really powerful name, relying on endlessly combining junk cards to create god-tier cards is simply unrealistic; that's a shortcut to bankruptcy! The cards coming up next are the ones I've carefully selected. It's time to show off my true skills! Every combination is a journey of discovering miracles. Let's use the 'name-matching' technique!"

Zhou Nan's remaining cards, besides the thirteen main battle cards and the twelve Bloodline Murloc cards used as cannonballs for the Cannon Master Deng Lei, also include the God's Believer card, the Little Devil card, the King Crab card, the Mysterious Butterfly card, the Ice Wolf King card, and the Sword Guard card!

He first drew two Lesser Devil cards and combined them with [Wild Man Yu Hongchen].

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 30 magic points... Your three-star black card [Wild Man - Yu Hongchen], one-star white card [Little Devil - Bato], and one-star white card [Little Devil - Winter] will be synthesized into a mutated black card... Congratulations on obtaining the one-star black card [Great Devil - Chen Batian]!"
