My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 90 The East Coast, the Land of Rise

The materials for crafting the [Item - Healing Bottle] are very common. Zhou Nan doesn't need to check the market price at the trading house to know that the cost of crafting one bottle will definitely not exceed 50 gold!

This is reasonable, since the [Item - Healing Bottle] is only a one-star white card.

"I wonder what the reward would be if the Legend of the Wolf quest were completed at 100%. What a pity."

After a brief sigh, Zhou Nan sent the crafting recipe for the [Item - Healing Bottle] to [Li Dapu]. The latter was overjoyed, as he had never received a card crafting recipe in all the time he had been setting up his stall in Plastic City.

"Big catalog, hurry up and produce a few copies. Message me when they're done, and I'll come pick them up!"

"Okay, boss. By the way, do you still have any food cards? The previous beef set meal was a great success, and we have a lot of customers ordering food from me. I reckon that as long as we manage our food business well, becoming millionaires won't be difficult."

"I only have one 'eating melon' card left; I've used up the rest. If you want to become a millionaire, you'd better hurry up and offer up your Snake cards..."

While chatting with [Li Dapu], Zhou Nan alternated between stepping on Xin Die Azhen and Aqiang, and soon arrived at the East Coast.

The East Coast is located east of Silver City. Since it is called the coast, you can naturally see the vast ocean here. The ocean is called the East Sea. I don't know how big it is, but you can't see the end of it at a glance.

The east coast has a large beach with sunny weather, where many players come to relax. There is a pier on the shore where beer, juice, and grilled fish are available.

To be honest, this place can indeed be considered a pretty good place for leisure.

Zhou Nan didn't come here for leisure; he came to conquer the king crab.

The king crab stronghold is not on the beach where players gather, but on a rocky beach far from the dock. There are not only king crabs, but also wild monsters such as prawns, lobsters, and turtles. In short, it is a low-level monster stronghold, and few players go there to farm monsters, since the rewards are too low. Hunting a crab or fighting a lobster does not demonstrate your strength.

Players with some skill will go to more spacious areas to hunt creatures like the East Sea Giant Turtle and Sea Serpent.

When Zhou Nan arrived at the rocky beach, he saw crabs and lobsters crawling everywhere, with only a few players seemingly picking up seashells in the distance.

Zhou Nan soon discovered an even better wild monster than the king crab: the lobster!

The word "lobster" contains the word "dragon," which is no less significant than the words "emperor" or "king," making it very suitable as a material for combining cards.

"This could be the place where I, the Black Card Emperor, rise to power!"

Full of anticipation, Zhou Nan quickly released the four strongest heroes and the sword butterfly Qiang Fen.

The four heroes once again found a purpose. Under Zhou Nan's arrangement, they built hero watchtowers at the King Crab Outpost and the Lobster Outpost, and then happily began farming wild monsters.

King crabs, lobsters, and the like are all trash monsters, not even as good as murlocs. Yet they still launched a fearless attack on the four bear watch towers. The four bear axe throwers would kill one with each axe, killing six in a second. Zhou Nan frequently received system notifications.

The weaker the monster, the easier it is to conquer. So, one King Crab Card and Lobster Card after another entered Zhou Nan's storage backpack. However, since Zhou Nan's storage backpack was already full, they fell to his feet.

Zhou Nan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who is this guy? Is he an idiot? Getting this excited about catching a crab!"

"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment killing these little crabs and crayfish?"

"This person's summoned cards are quite interesting; they actually created four watchtowers..."

Players in the distance heard Zhou Nan laughing and found it strange, but they quickly stopped paying attention.

What kind of quirky players aren't there in the world of card games?

How could they possibly understand Zhou Nan's enjoyment?

Zhou Nan had already begun synthesizing cards. King Crab Cards and Lobster Cards were constantly being added to his storage backpack, and he used them casually. He also had Amber Potions on him, and he only regretted not having more cards with him.

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 20 magic points. Your [Lobster Claws] and [King Crab Bubbles] will be synthesized... Congratulations on obtaining the one-star black card [Lobster Crab Bubbles!]."

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 30 mana points. Your [Lobster Giant], [Lobster Wave Grab], and [Lobster Rocks Wave] will be synthesized... Congratulations on obtaining the one-star black card [Lobster Giant Wave]..."

"Ding! This card synthesis requires 20 magic points. Your [Great Man Spinfen] will be synthesized with [Lobster Giant Wave]... Congratulations on obtaining the three-star black card [Big Shrimp Spinfen]."

"Ding... Your [Wilderness Black Bear - Bagel] will be combined with [Lobster - Spiky]... Congratulations on obtaining the one-star black card [Wild Shrimp - Spiky]!"

"Ding... Your [Sword Guard Svid] will be combined with [Lobster Wang Shui]... Congratulations on obtaining the one-star black card [Sword Dragon Swan]!"

Zhou Nan abruptly stopped. What did the system just say? What did it synthesize? A Stegosaurus!

He was startled. He knew from the name of the card he had synthesized before that it was useless, but "Sword Dragon" was different. Zhou Nan took out the newly synthesized card with great anticipation to check its attributes.

At first glance, the Sword Dragon's abilities seem average, and it doesn't seem to have any special skills, but Zhou Nan also has a card-synthesis technique with the same name!

"Just based on the name 'Steel Dragon,' its abilities are definitely more than this. Its upper limit must be extremely high. I need to synthesize cards with the same name to see where Stegosaurus's limits are. Moreover, Stegosaurus's class is ranged damage, and its attack range is 100 meters, which is exactly what I need!"

Zhou Nan then focused on synthesizing the Sword Dragon Card. He then used two more Sword Dragon Cards to synthesize the Sword Dragon Card. After a short while, Zhou Nan used up all the Sword Guard Cards he had. The enhanced Sword Dragon did not seem to have reached its limit yet. At this time, it had 2 health points, and the base attack power of each sword aura reached 100. It could continuously spew sword aura up to 10 per second!

Based on this calculation, its damage per second can reach 1,000!

Zhou Nan used the card, and with a bang, a two-zhang-long (approximately 6.6 meters) long silver dragon with sword horns appeared in front of him.

To Zhou Nan's delight, this sword dragon was not a magical dragon, but a mythical dragon with a very handsome appearance. It circled around Zhou Nan and suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a silver dragon-headed ancient sword phantom that shot out and killed a small crayfish dozens of meters away.
