My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 45 N5, anything goes

Zhou Nan methodically cleared the dungeon. After soloing the N4 difficulty level, he earned 322 experience points, 155 gold coins, 240 game points, and 30 diamonds.

Of course, there's also the [Guardian of Casanar N4 Single-Pass Certificate], an unidentified white card, and a Heroic Village Guardian Card.

Without stopping, two hours later, Zhou Nan was tossing [Sludge Blocks] for his dog Dodge to pick up and play with when suddenly a system notification popped up: "Ding, the Gray Jackal has been killed, dropping a special card. Hidden achievement completed, rewarding you with 30 game points and 1 diamond!"

"What's going on? There's a system notification even though the Big Bad Wolf was killed? What kind of card dropped? Dodge, pick it up!"

Curious, Zhou Nan gave a command, and the little dog Dodge barked and ran towards the gray jackal's spawn point. It quickly ran back and pounced on the ground with its two front paws in front of Zhou Nan, actually throwing out a black card!

"A wild black card?"

Zhou Nan took a closer look and saw that the card was named [Wolfskin Coat - Transformation Version].

Card Name: Wolfskin Coat - Transformation Version (Already Bound)

Card color: Black

Card Star Rating: One Star

Usage Level: 5

Mana cost: 10

Note 1: This is a fashion card and a transformation card, with a drop rate of one in ten thousand.

Note 2: Using this card will grant you the Wolfskin Coat fashion item, which does not add any attributes.

Note 3: When wearing the [Wolfskin Coat - Transformation Version], you can transform into or revert to the gray, scraggly jackal form at any time. In transformation, you will gain the Devour skill, allowing you to swallow small targets whole. Targets you devour will lose 300 health points per second until digestion is complete. You cannot devour other targets until the current digestion is finished.

Note 4: After transforming into a jackal, your identity information cannot be detected, all cards will return to your inventory, including equipment cards, you cannot use other cards, you can avoid some monster aggro, but you will also gain some NPC or monster aggro, you cannot undo the transformation until you have fully digested the aggro.

Note 5: You can devour players and NPCs. Players who die after being devoured and digested will always drop one level, and you will randomly gain a certain amount of experience points. Please note that some NPCs are very powerful and can still resist after being devoured, possibly even slicing open your stomach. Players can also resist (using cards), so please devour them according to their strength. When you are killed in Jackal form, the card will disappear (except in special scenarios such as the Arena and Training Grounds).

Note 6: Consuming certain NPCs may bring you unexpected benefits.

Note 7: Black cards cannot be reforged or disassembled.

"Holy crap, what a one in ten thousand chance! A transformation card? A wolfskin coat? This wild black card is something else! This is the first time I've ever encountered a card like this!"

Zhou Nan thought it was strange. He immediately used the [Wolfskin Coat - Transformation Version], and a gray fur coat appeared on his body. The coat was draped behind him like a cape. It had sleeves, but he couldn't stretch his arms out. He could only wear it, but it was very secure and couldn't be pulled off.

However, Zhou Nan dared not transform into a jackal at this moment, because once he transformed, all the cards would return to his storage backpack, and this dungeon run would be ruined.

"What should I do? I really want to turn into a jackal."

Zhou Nan was eager to end the dungeon and try out the Devouring skill after transforming into a jackal.

After finally clearing the dungeon, Zhou Nan didn't even open the reward chest before eagerly starting [Guardian of Kasanaor], but this time he chose N1 difficulty.

Upon entering the instance, Zhou Nan did nothing but immediately run to the hidden NPC, the pharmacist Kokkoro, and said, "Excuse me!"

Then he threw his hands on the ground and instantly transformed into a big, unkempt gray wolf.

"Woohoo!"

The system automatically provided Zhou Nan with a voice.

The pharmacist, Kokoro, turned pale with fright and pulled a medicine bottle from her bosom, smashing it on Zhou Nan's head.

-1!

Damage numbers appeared above Zhou Nan's head.

Zhou Nan shook his head indifferently. Since he couldn't speak at the moment, he immediately used his Devouring skill. His body involuntarily lunged at Yakushi Kokoro, and then he opened his mouth wide. Yakushi Kokoro's body shrank and was quickly sucked into his mouth.

"Ding! You have consumed a weak NPC. The target is unable to resist."

"Ding, the objective has been completed, and you have gained 5 experience points."

"Only 5 experience points? Aren't there any hidden achievements or unexpected benefits?"

Zhou Nan was slightly disappointed, but then thought that since he had already swallowed the pharmacist NPC, he might as well swallow the other NPCs in this instance as well.

Next target, carpenter Krul, let's go!

Zhou Nan didn't dare to devour Village Chief Blair, fearing that if he did, the instance would immediately end and he wouldn't be able to play anymore.

Transformed into a jackal, Zhou Nan moved with incredible speed, running like the wind. He succeeded one after another, and soon devoured the carpenter Krul and the guard captain Kakar, gaining a total of 25 experience points.

Both NPCs had very low health; once swallowed, they were digested instantly.

"Next, let's devour Village Chief Blair... Oh, and Village Guards Martin and Marco too!"

Zhou Nan turned around and rushed out of the village square, heading south.

Martin and Marco are much stronger than Kokoro and the others; both of these archers have 3000 health points!

Zhou Nan first swallowed the village guard Martin, then stood still and endured Marco's attack for 10 seconds, losing more than 300 health points, before swallowing Marco in one gulp.

At this moment, the first wave of murlocs had just spawned from the monster spawn point. Zhou Nan didn't bother with the murlocs, returned to the village, swallowed the village chief Blair, digested him in a second, and his mission was accomplished!

"Ding! You have devoured all the NPCs guarding the Casanar dungeon, completing the hidden achievement [Transform into the Big Bad Wolf]. You are rewarded with 1000 gold coins, 500 experience points, 100 game points, and 1 diamond. From now on, you will not need a token to enter Sunset Forest."

"Ding, current instance failed..."

A golden light flashed around Zhou Nan, and 500 experience points were credited to his account, leveling him up to level 9.

However, he was quickly kicked out of the instance. He then deactivated his transformation, donned a wolf fur coat, and rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, "As expected, there's a hidden achievement; a thousand gold coins as a reward. Not bad, not bad! But this wolf transformation isn't very useful. Its strongest point is probably the disguise. The wolf form is fast and can kill instantly; it should be good for ambushing players. I'll explore that further later..."

Zhou Nan then opened the treasure chests he hadn't opened earlier. After opening all four chests, he had accumulated 809 experience points. If he could get another 91 points to reach 900, the system would automatically deduct them, and he would level up to level 10.

Once you reach level 10, you can no longer farm [Guardian Kassana].

However, Zhou Nan can choose not to open the experience chests, in which case he won't gain experience and won't level up to 10.

He soon resumed his solo runs.

To prepare for the N5 Epic, the more Hero cards you have, the better.

Zhou Nan's perseverance in completing the "Hug the Angel's Thigh" achievement in 69 days and accumulating 369 deaths is beyond question. He can completely endure loneliness. When he's bored, he can even throw materials to his dog Dodge to play with. It can be said that he enjoys soloing the "Guardian of Casanall" achievement.

This was done twelve times in a row, taking about 20 hours, which is insane.

During this time, Zhou Nan contacted the King of the Cave and bought some Wild Black Bear cards and Murloc cards. He combined the Heroic Village Guard cards he obtained into Heroic Bear cards. He also used the Murloc cards that Cannon Buddy Deng Lei had used to combine with the extra Wild Black Bear cards into Savage cards.

He didn't use the Savage Cards to synthesize Savage Cards; he just saved them up first.

Zhou Nan also maintained contact with Valkyrie Lin Yun and others, occasionally offering them guidance.

All three have reached level nine and possess the Rock General. They are now obsessed with digging up trees and are teaming up to farm the N1 difficulty of "Guardian of Kassanar" to accumulate Rock Hearts and Swords in the Stone.

Just as Zhou Nan was about to solo the dungeon again, he noticed that there were three pinned rooms in the 【Guardian of Kassanar】 room list, all of which were set to N5 difficulty.

One of them looked familiar to Zhou Nan; it was the one from the "Red Card Family," and the room name was the same as yesterday.

"This red card family, they failed to clear the level yesterday, right? Why are they coming back today?" Zhou Nan muttered.

Normally, the first clear of a dungeon, even a small one, will be announced in the room list interface. Zhou Nan didn't see any announcement, which means that the Red Card family failed to clear the dungeon yesterday.

Zhou Nan then looked at the other two rooms, which were named "Justice Family, N5 God Team" and "Fighting Family, N5 God Team"!

"This is interesting, all top-tier teams! Even for a low-level dungeon (below level 10), these three major clans are vying for the first clear. In that case, I might as well join in the fun!"

After a moment's thought, Zhou Nan also booked a room, N5, and named it: "N5, Come On, Come On!"
