My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 100 Proud Moon, Soaring Azure

"Is this the deck information?"

Zhou Nan was surprised.

He doesn't know how many real decks have been created, but the only real deck he knows of is Nine Lives Cat.

A true deck, by definition, has special effects once all the cards are assembled.

For example, the Nine Lives Cat: once you collect nine Night Cat cards, those nine Night Cats will live and die together. As long as one survives, the others will survive as well.

There are many player-created decks in the card training field, such as the tall, short, fat, and thin decks, and the Journey to the West deck, but those do not have special effects and, to be precise, cannot be called decks at all.

"A Dragon Palace deck, this is a real deck!"

Zhou Nan examined the hidden scroll more closely. There were detailed instructions at the end. As long as he collected the Shrimp Soldier Card, Crab General Card, Turtle Prime Minister Card, Dragon Prince Card, Little Dragon Girl Card, and Old Dragon King Card, he could trigger the Dragon Palace deck effect. However, the scroll did not explain what the specific effect of the Dragon Palace deck was.

"Xiao Mei, where did you get this scroll?"

Zhou Nan couldn't help but ask.

【Dream Builder Xiaomei】 said nonchalantly, "This scroll? It's the prize for winning last month's beach castle competition!"

"Beach Sandcastle Contest? What the hell is that?"

"It was a temporary event organized by the Silver City Envoy. More than 300 players signed up. My beach castle was the best-looking, so the Envoy rewarded me with this scroll."

"There are such absurd events in the world of card games?" Zhou Nan thought to himself, finding it strange. He then asked, "Have you shown this scroll to anyone else?"

"I've shown it to others. For a while, I specifically asked people about the Dragon Palace deck and showed this scroll to quite a few players. Unfortunately, no one knows the origins of the Dragon Prince, Little Dragon Girl, Old Dragon King, or even the Shrimp Soldier and Crab General cards. What's wrong? Is there a problem? Master, let's go build a tower together."

Zhou Nan sighed and said, "This is information about the Dragon Palace deck! You just casually shared it with others. I admire you. Well, you're a casual player..."

He was wondering if it was possible to use black cards to synthesize the six cards needed for the Dragon Palace deck.

Aren't they just shrimp soldiers, crab generals, turtle prime ministers, princes, dragon princesses, and old dragon kings? As long as the prefixes are the same, isn't that enough?

This is something we absolutely must try.

"Master, please take another look at my design. This is a massive project, requiring a total of 36,578 watchtowers. Let's get started..."

【Dream Builder Xiaomei】is introducing her own designs from the side.

To be honest, this person is really professional. It probably took a lot of effort to create this design. In Zhou Nan's opinion, she is somewhat neglecting her duties.

However, this is a player with ambition and hard work; he's a talented individual.

Zhou Nan agreed to build the Heroic Bear Watchtower according to the locations marked on the blueprints, but only in his spare time. He didn't have that much energy to build the Great Wall of Watchtowers; he would be lucky to finish building the Heroic Bear Watchtower at the reef and beach.

A moment later, Zhou Nan found Li Dapu, who had already set up a stall at the beach pier where the most players were on the East Coast. His head was a little smaller than the day before, but it still looked very big.

"Captain, I'm ready. Here's yesterday's gold coin earnings, and also some newly crafted cards. Where should I put them?"

"Put it in the car!"

"Having a car is so convenient."

[Outrageous] He circled the high-tech donkey cart, marveling at it and making no attempt to hide his envy.

He presented fifty Snake cards and forty-nine Healing Bottle cards.

This guy's storage backpack only contained gold coins and these two types of cards; he didn't even bring the [Granite Golem - Hungus].

Zhou Nan wasted no time. He quickly "drove" the flatbed truck to the rocky beach, where he released Sword Butterfly Qiang Fen, Panda Pan Mie, and others to conquer the king crab and lobster.

【Dream Builder Xiao Mei】always followed Zhou Nan around, like a little follower.

Several of the Heroic Watchtowers that Zhou Nan had built were demolished by [Dream Builder Xiao Mei]. She had been trying to curry favor with Zhou Nan, hoping he would build the Heroic Watchtowers according to her designs.

Zhou Nan didn't want to be watched all the time, so he sent [Dream Builder Xiao Mei] away. It wasn't difficult; Zhou Nan simply made a [Shrimp and Crab Spicy] dish on the spot and that was it.

【Dream Builder Xiao Mei】is a casual player who wants to build a watchtower Great Wall, but she can't resist the temptation of delicious food. Zhou Nan gave her a bowl of mushroom soup and asked her to help 【Li Da Pu】 take care of the food stall. She readily agreed.

In short, Zhou Nan was quite relaxed on the rocky beach. He sat on the back of the large item flatbed truck and happily played the card synthesis game.

Most of the cards Zhou Nan obtained from the Forest Mystery Chest were made into card-eating cards; those without special effects were sent to [Outrageous] using a Messenger Butterfly.

The outrageously expensive food stall opened for business very quickly.

Originally, the beach pier only offered beer and grilled fish. Players who liked to hang out here got tired of drinking beer and eating grilled fish every day, so the [outrageous] food stall became an instant hit as soon as it opened.

【Dream Builder Xiao Mei】 was also delighted and helped 【Outrageous】 set up the stall.

On Zhou Nan's side, as he conquered more and more King Crab and Lobster cards, he also began to synthesize Stegosaurus and Crab Sword King cards.

Crab Sword King requires one Sword Guard card, one Emperor Crab card, and one King Crab card to synthesize.

Zhou Nan thought Crab Sword King's parry and counterattack were worthwhile, so he thought of using the method of synthesizing cards with the same name to create the strongest Crab Sword King.

Of course, this requires combining three Crab Sword Kings at once to ensure that the resulting item is also a Crab Sword King.

However, the test results were quite disappointing for Zhou Nan. The three Crab Sword King cards were combined to create [Crab Sword King Golas], whose attributes were exactly the same as [Crab Sword King Gofanchi], without any enhancements.

Zhou Nan guessed that this might be because the strongest sword guard was used when synthesizing Crab Sword King Gofanqi, so the synthesized Crab Sword King was directly the strongest Crab Sword King.

"It seems the only way to make Crab Sword King stronger is to enhance and upgrade its star rating, or equip it with items. I guess if Panda Panmie becomes Panda King, it will be similar, directly becoming the strongest Panda King... If that's the case, can I use the strongest sword guard to synthesize the strongest sword dragon? Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?"

Zhou Nan seemed to understand something, and he continued to synthesize cards.

The strongest card can be created by combining nine Sword Guardian cards. Zhou Nan quickly synthesized one, named [Sword Guardian - Arrogant Wind].

He then synthesized the strongest lobster, named [Lobster Xiaoyue].

Lobster is such trash; combining two cards is already the strongest possible combination.

Zhou Nan combined the [Sword Guardian - Proud Wind] with the [Lobster - Little Moon] to obtain the [Sword Dragon - Proud Moon]!

"Wow, that's powerful! 20 sword energies per second, each dealing 200 damage, that's 4000 damage per second! More than twice the output of a four-star Savage King, and the crafting cost is so low! The Lobster card is practically free, and 9 Sword Guards only cost 2700 gold... Such a powerful card for such a small investment? That's a huge profit!"

Zhou Nan didn't know if this Sword Dragon Aoyue was the strongest Sword Dragon, but he was already very satisfied with its attributes.

But he soon discovered something else that annoyed him.

Using [Sword Dragon - Pride of the Moon] requires 1100 mana points!

Zhou Nan's black cards have always had low mana costs. For example, the nine-star [Panda Pan Mie] and [Great Demon Chen Batian] only consume 190 mana points, which is very cost-effective.

He had never seen a card that consumed more than 1,000 mana points.

"What's my maximum mana right now? I can only summon one sword dragon, Proud Moon? Oh well, I'm content. Proud Moon is strong enough..."

Zhou Nan sighed briefly, then continued synthesizing cards.

He had previously synthesized a Sword Dragon card and enhanced it to 2 health points. Zhou Nan also upgraded it to the Sword Dragon Aoyue level, naming it [Sword Dragon Lingcang].

He also confirmed that Sword Dragon Lingcang and Aoyue were the strongest Sword Dragons.

However, summoning both of these Stegosaurus will require some Amber Potions.
