My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 50: I refuse to believe that an incredible black card won't appear.

Zhou Nan was standing in his own mission hall, happily counting his spoils.

He cleared the N5 difficulty level of "Guardian of Casanar" without hunting in the wild monster forest, but his haul was still incredibly rich.

First, there's the loot dropped by the Bloodthirsty Old Shark.

The third part of the Casanar Treasure Map has finally been completed.

"I didn't expect that this third one was dropped by N5 Old Shark. No wonder I've never seen it before."

Zhou Nan happily took out one of the treasure maps and the other two, and a complete treasure map was thus created.

[Cassanar Treasure Map: Carry the current treasure map and go to the marked location to automatically excavate the ancient treasure buried deep beneath Casanall. Note: This treasure has a high chance of yielding rare items or rare cards. Each player can only excavate once!]

Zhou Nan studied the treasure map for a while and found that the treasure location marked on it was in the deepest part of the Wild Monster Forest. However, he didn't need to dig for the treasure himself because he had his dog, Dodge. He simply equipped the treasure map to Dodge, and after entering the dungeon, Dodge could go treasure hunting on its own.

The second item dropped by the Bloodthirsty Old Shark is a one-star green card, [Fishman Warrior Sharliman].

This green card would be just average in the hands of other players, but it's different in Zhou Nan's hands because he has the skill [Murloc 666]. Murloc Warrior is also a Murloc, so this [Murloc Warrior Sharman] is a six-star green card in his hands.

Card Name: Murloc Warrior Sharliman

Card star rating: 1 star + 5 stars

Usage Level: 9

Mana cost: 110

Explanation 1: Summon [Fishman Warrior Sharliman] to fight for you. Fishman Warrior Sharliman has 3000+15000 HP, 100+500 Attack Power, and 0.5 Attack Speed. He is a physical attack warrior!

Explanation 2: The fishman warrior Sharman possesses the Deep Sea Trident and can actively release the combat skill [Sweep Across All Directions LV1]. When activated, the skill deals area physical damage to surrounding enemy units with a damage radius of five meters. The base damage is three times the attack power, and the cooldown time is one minute.

Zhou Nan released the shark, Liman, and found that it looked very similar to the old shark in the dungeon. Its combat power should have been the same as the N1 old shark, but at six stars, it was stronger than the N3 old shark, but still not as strong as the N4 old shark.

"This Sharkman's only advantage is its high attack power, reaching 600. Its other attributes are a bit weak. If it weren't for my Fishman 666 skill, it would just be so-so. But with Sweeping Across the Area activated, it could definitely finish off enemies!"

Zhou Nan opened other reward chests.

The first clear of N5 will reward you with an achievement chest, as well as a level 5 experience chest, a level 5 material chest, a Blair's Gift chest, and a kill achievement chest.

In this dungeon run, Zhou Nan also killed over 10000 small murlocs, meaning the [outrageous] granite golems took away some of his kill count.

There are also twelve level 4 experience chests in the mission hall, which Zhou Nan had saved up before. He naturally wanted to save up the level 5 experience chests as well. After opening the other four chests, Zhou Nan obtained a total of 6 rare materials, 522 gold coins, a game points card with a face value of 160, a Heroic Village Guard card, and an unidentified white card.

The extra reward achievement chest only yielded 300 gold coins and two rare materials, leaving Zhou Nan slightly disappointed.

At this moment, Zhou Nan had accumulated 19 unidentified white cards. He took out a Small Glimmer Potion to replenish his mana and then checked his attribute panel.

"Before I knew it, I had 5877 gold coins and over a hundred diamonds, enough to upgrade the Goddess Statue! The Valkyrie still owes me four thousand gold coins, I should probably start planning that..."

Zhou Nan fell into deep thought.

"By combining the Heroic Village Guards I just defeated into Heroic Bears, I now have a total of 27 Heroic Bears..."

"N5's Guardian Casanar requires moving 3200 bricks. With my Heroic Brick-Moving Team, we can definitely finish in under 20 minutes, making a solo run possible. However, to be on the safe side, let's upgrade our cards. Without [Outrageous] and the others' assistance, we're missing three Rock Generals and Granite Golems, so we'll have to do the gathering quests ourselves. We can't be careless..."

"Also, while soloing N5 is quite profitable, I can't stay stuck at level 10. Reaching level 10 allows me to draw skills and unlock more advanced dungeons and quests. This is a watershed moment; leveling up becomes much harder after level 10, but the chances of obtaining high-level cards also increase significantly..."

"It's decided! My first small goal is to upgrade the Card Goddess Statue to LV3. My second small goal is to buy cards and synthesize them like crazy to upgrade my main battle cards. My third small goal is to solo N5 once, get the solo pass and points rewards, and dig up the Casanar Treasure. My fourth small goal is to run N5 twenty more times, accumulating fifty clears to level up ten times! Clear strategy, clear goals, let's get started!"

Once Zhou Nan made his decision, he immediately went to upgrade the statue of the Card Goddess.

"Ding! Your Goddess Statue card has been upgraded to LV3 by consuming 100 diamonds."

After the system notification ended, the card goddess statue in front of Zhou Nan slowly grew larger. After a few breaths, it was already three zhang tall. Its entire body was carved from white jade, emitting a faint golden light. A pair of angel wings appeared on its back, and its appearance also changed. Now it wore a seven-colored crystal crown, stood proudly, looked down at the front, held a staff in its right hand pointing diagonally downwards, and held a golden book in its left hand.

"Awesome, powerful, beautiful! LV3 is really something else! One percent chance of getting a blue card... No, I have to hold back, save up my points, and wait for the Card Goddess to level up a few more times before drawing cards."

Zhou Nan clicked his tongue in admiration in front of the towering statue of the Card Goddess. He felt that with this statue, his secret camp had become much brighter.

A moment later, Zhou Nan went to the trading post and bought thirty unidentified white cards in one go. He also contacted the King of the Cave and bought a batch of Murloc cards, Murloc cards, and Wild Black Bear cards.

Finally, he also bought four super cheap Golden Bear cards, two Black Cat cards, and two White Cat cards.

After this spending spree, Zhou Nan was left with only 7 gold coins, leaving him penniless.

However, Zhou Nan was quite pleased with himself. He took out the Little Glimmer Potion he had accumulated earlier, squatted down next to the Card Goddess statue, and laughed, "Thirty unidentified white cards, plus the 19 I've collected myself, with so many cards, with my looks and luck, I refuse to believe I can't synthesize a heaven-defying black card! Come on, Card Goddess, bless me, identify, identify, I'll identify!"

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining a one-star white card [Game Chicken • Olaf]."

"Ding! Appraisal successful. Congratulations on obtaining a one-star white card [Snake • Terrat]!"

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining the one-star white card [Orc Grunt Soldier Nozman]."

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining a one-star white card [Light Tower Sword Slave • 547]..."
