Chapter 17: Yet Another Black Card

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the game was cleared and the dungeon was locked, the Granite Puppet stopped moving and would not receive any more damage.

Zhou Nan felt that it was a pity. After he collected Heroic Bear Soro, he went to the spawn point of Black Goat to collect the loot.

Black Goat had dropped quite a number of items. There were a total of 36 items. Unfortunately, there were no cards. They were all materials like black goat horn, black goat hair, black goat tears, and so on. Each item could be exchanged for the little awakening potion from the NPCs.

Zhou Nan tidied up and returned to the town hall. Thunder God and the others had not left yet. The three of them were excitedly discussing the spoils of war. Zhou Nan casually listened for a while, and it seemed like they had been rewarded with a lot of cards. It also seemed like they obtained two Deep Sea Tridents, and the rewards were very bountiful.

“Black Card Emperor, you’re just in time! Add me as a friend, and we’ll continue tomorrow!”

Thunder Strike waved at Zhou Nan.

“Sure!” Zhou Nan thought for a moment and added these three as friends.

However, he was not very close to them after all, so he left the dungeon after chatting with them for a while.

After being teleported back to the mission hall, there were three treasure chests in front of Zhou Nan. They were the level 2 experience chest, level 2 material treasure chest, and Blair’s gift treasure chest.

These three treasure chests were the clear rewards.

The level 2 experience treasure chest could randomly give 100 to 200 exp, and level 2 material treasure chest had a higher chance of obtaining rare materials than the level 1 material treasure chest.

Zhou Nan did not touch the level 2 experience chest. He first opened the level 2 material treasure chest.

Following the sound of the system notification, he received Deep Sea Gunpowder ×1, Luminous Pearl ×1, Murloc bloodline ×2, and Murloc teeth ×4.

The Deep Sea Gunpowder and the Luminous Pearl were both rare materials.

After opening the gift chest, Zhou Nan obtained 77 gold coins, a game point card worth 30 points, N2 City Fortress Pass Certificate, and a 1-star white card, ‘Murloc Cannon, Landing Type 1’.

…

[Card name: Murloc Cannon, Landing Type 1(bound)]

[Card color: White]

[Card star: 1-star]

[Equipment level: None]

[Mana cost: 10]

[Description 1: Summon a Murloc Cannon for your command. The Murloc Cannon is set as a cannon car with durability of 5000. The maximum speed is 10 meters per second. It can carry Murlocs in the cannon barrel. After firing the cannon, the Murloc can be fired to any place within a hundred meters range. It can cross city walls and other obstacles. The cannon barrel has a cooldown of 10 seconds]

[Description 2: Only small Murlocs can be loaded into the cannon barrel of the Murloc Cannon. Players are requested to explore the specifics themselves]

[Description 3: Apart from some special Murlocs, the Little Murlocs that land on the ground will lose half of their hp]

[Description 4: The Murloc Cannon can not fire while moving]

“What the f*ck is the Murloc Cannon? What’s the use of this? It even has to be paired with a Murloc card?”

Although Zhou Nan said so, he found the Murloc Cannon quite interesting. Then, he thought of the God’s Follower card that he had bought previously.

“If I combine the God’s Follower and the Murloc Cannon, what will happen? God’s Cannon? Cannon God? The Cannon of the Gods? It can’t be a Murloc Follower, right?”

Zhou Nan’s interest was suddenly piqued. He quickly took out the card God’s Follower, Leon.

[Ding, 20 mana points are required for this card synthesis…]

[Ding, affected by the Black Card Synthesis talent, this card synthesis recipe will be created. 1-star white card Murloc Cannon, Landing Type 1 and 1-star white card God’s Follower, Leon will definitely synthesize a mutated black card. Calculating…]

[Ding, congratulations on synthesizing 1-star black card, ‘Cannon Follower, Landon’!]

“F*ck, Cannon Follower!” Zhou Nan slapped his forehead.

“This is so f*cking random. What the hell is a Cannon Follower? Isn’t there the word ‘God’?”

Zhou Nan felt like he was wasting his energy, so he quickly checked the attributes of the black card.

…

[Card name: Cannon Follower, Landon]

[Card color: Black]

[Card star: 1-star]

[Level of equipment: None]

[Mana cost: 10]

[Description 1: Summons Cannon Follower, Landon to fight for you. Cannon Follower has 5,000 hp. Equipped with a Murloc Cannon, its range is 100 meters. It can load small Murlocs into the cannon barrel and give the Murloc bomb attributes. If the Murloc hits the target, it can cause physical explosion damage equal to the hp of the Murloc. It has armor-piercing and knockback effects. The cannon barrel has a cooldown of 10 seconds.]

[Description 2: Only small Murlocs can be loaded into the cannon barrel of the Murloc Cannon. Players are requested to explore the details themselves.]

[Description 3: The Cannon Follower can automatically upgrade to a 2-star after firing 100 shots.]

…

Zhou Nan was a little speechless. He did not know how to evaluate this Cannon Follower card.

If he must evaluate it, then it would be an oddity!

He was really using the Murloc as a cannonball!

He could only call it rubbish. This was because if a cannoneer wanted to hit someone, he had to first have a cannonball.

A cannonball was a Little Murloc!

A Little Murloc had to be summoned with a card. Once it was summoned, it would be used as a cannonball and the Murloc would explode. If it exploded, the Murloc would die. Then, the corresponding Murloc card would not be used for 24 hours.

If the damage was high, it would be fine. However, it could only deal physical damage equal to the hp of the cannonball Murloc.

What was the use of that?

How much hp did the Little Murloc have? They only had 30 hp in the protect Cassanar dungeon. After all the trouble he had gone through, he could only deal as much damage as a strike from a Heroic Bear…

However, this Cannon Follower was not completely useless.

The range was not bad. A range of 100 meters was something that most ranged units could not achieve.

In addition, he had a growth characteristic, which was very rare. It was not difficult to level up to 2-stars after 100 shots.

Zhou Nan pondered for a while and decided to keep this card. He was just playing for fun. Maybe it would become stronger after it leveled up.

Due to this Cannon Follower card, Zhou Nan went to the trading hall again. He searched for the Little Murloc card, but there was only one item.

“Ten Little Murloc cards packed together, only 198 gold coins!”

“Ah? This selling method is a little familiar!”

Zhou Nan opened the item information and looked at the seller’s information. Sure enough, it was Cave King.

“Brother, are you a card wholesaler?”

Zhou Nan sent a message to the Cave King curiously.

“Oh, you want to buy Field Black Bears?”

“No, I want to buy fish this time!”

“You’re buying fish? Little Murloc, Big Murloc, or Crocodile?”

“… Do you sell all these cards?”

“Yes, ten in a group, with a large quantity discount.”

“How terrifying. Why didn’t I notice that there was such a talent like you before? Do you know how to mass-produce cards?”

“Shh, don’t talk nonsense without any evidence.”

“I want Little Murloc cards. Other than the ones hanging in the trading hall, do you have any more?”

“I can hang ten more cards in five minutes! Even though they are the worst trash cards, I’ll still charge you 198 gold.”

“Do you create these cards on the spot?”

“Take a guess.”

“Alright, let’s hang them up. I’ll buy them! If you still have them in the future, hang them up first. I’ll come and sweep the goods from time to time.”

“Alright, wait a moment… why do you need so many trashy Little Murlocs?”

“Take a guess?”

“You’re making fish stew?”

“You really tried to guess? Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I’m waiting for your Little Murloc cards….”
