Chapter 52 Ancient Mermaid Statue

A moment later, Zhou Nan arrived at the mission lobby, ready to solo the N5 difficulty [Guardian of Casanar].

He glanced at the room names in the room list, and wow, they were all "Come anytime"!

Many players are making statements.

"N4, bring it on, really bring it on!"

"The Casual Family, N2 God Room!"

"N3, come and do some manual labor anytime!"

"I'm from the Red Card family, and I'm not having it! I'm a first-time N5 subscriber, so come on in if you dare!"

"High reward offered for a walkthrough of N5!"

"Top-tier players are carrying me! Top-tier players are carrying me! Join the room and we'll take you through N5, earning points and achievements!"

"Who offered a reward for the strategy guide? The strategy is just two words: get the timing right! Send me the money..."

Zhou Nan never expected that his team's first successful pass of the N5 would make "Come on, do whatever you want" a hit.

"I wonder what the big shots from the three major families are feeling right now..."

As Zhou Nan was pondering this, he suddenly received a friend call from [Outrageous]: "Brother Nan, wanna bring the boss?"

"What boss?" Zhou Nan was taken aback.

"It's about collecting gold coins and helping people clear N5. I shouted it out a few times and found that there are quite a few customers. If you don't mind, Brother Nan, we can partner up and definitely make a fortune."

"So it was you who called him 'GG' earlier. No wonder it sounded so familiar. You're a real business genius," Zhou Nan laughed. "But bringing the boss is out of the question. I'm not interested."

"That's a real shame. Without Brother Nan's heroic brick-moving team, N5 will be a real pain. Oh well, I'll go play some arena with Valkyrie and the others for a bit. Brother Nan, just let me know if you need anything..."

After ending the call with [Outrageous], Zhou Nan quickly created a room and began soloing with the N5.

In the dungeon, the 27 Heroic Bears completed the brick-moving task in less than 18 minutes. Afterwards, Zhou Nan left 20 Heroic Bears at the village entrance to build watchtowers, and had Rock General Big Roll, Panda Pan Mie, Heng Ha Si Ye, and Murloc Warrior Sharman stand in a row at the village entrance to tank monsters.

The fighting power of the four of them was even stronger than Zhou Nan had expected. These four guys stood in a row, waving their wooden sticks like electric fans. When the little fishman came close to them, he was beaten to death by their sticks before he could even raise his knife to cut down.

The Murloc Warrior Sharman is also very powerful. With one sweep, all the small Murlocs within a five-meter radius will fall. His output is higher than that of Panda Panmie, and it is stable. It can be actively released, unlike Panda Panmie's [Crushing Fire Fist] which depends on luck.

Zhou Nan estimated that with this configuration, as long as the Bloodthirsty Old Shark didn't appear, things were already as stable as Mount Tai.

The remaining seven Heroic Bears and Sword Butterfly Qiangfen were taken by Zhou Nan to the Wild Monster Forest to hunt. Zhou Nan himself was doing the gathering quest. He didn't have a mount and was slow, so doing this quest wasn't as fast as "Running Fast When Encountering Each Other on a Narrow Road". It would take more than ten minutes.

Before Zhou Nan could complete the collection task, the dog Dodge had already dug up the treasure in Casanall.

The little guy was covered in golden light, and with a pounce of his two tiny paws in front of Zhou Nan, a golden scroll appeared right in front of him.

"Ding! Your pet has unearthed the Casanar treasure."

"Ding! Your pet has triggered a treasure hunt and you have obtained an extraordinary treasure."

"Wow, treasure hunting comes with a critical hit?" Zhou Nan patted the dog Dodge's head, then looked at the golden scroll in front of him, which was titled "Construction Blueprints for an Ancient Mermaid Statue".

Ancient Mermaid Statue Construction Blueprint: A treasure item, bound, unique. Use to construct an ancient mermaid statue in your secret camp.

Note 1: The ancient mermaid statue has a special function. It is designed as a fountain structure. After it is built, the player's health and mana recovery speed in the secret camp will be increased by 50%.

Note 2: The Ancient Mermaid Statue provides an exclusive card mutation recipe: Murloc Card + Murloc Bloodline ×1 = Bloodline Murloc (Red Card). This recipe is applicable to card enhancement and has an effective range of 100 meters around the Ancient Mermaid Statue.

Note 3: Offering materials such as luminous pearls, mermaid tears, and mermaid scales to ancient mermaid statues can yield unexpected benefits.

Explanation 4: Mermaids are not fish-people!

"Architectural blueprints?"

Zhou Nan was slightly surprised.

This was the first time he had ever encountered such a prop.

The player's secret camp is a square with a limited space, like a small open space floating in the chaotic void. The sun and moon do alternate in the sky, and you can see blue sky, white clouds, or twinkling stars, but after a while, you get tired of it.

Zhou Nan had heard that players could unlock some camp buildings, such as training grounds, after leveling up, but he didn't know that there was such an item as the "blueprint for building the Ancient Mermaid Statue".

"This blueprint must be extremely valuable. It even provides a red card mutation recipe—a red card bloodline murloc? I wonder what its attributes are like. It should be able to be affected by my Murloc 666, right? Sacrifice materials...and there might be unexpected benefits? What benefits?"

Zhou Nan, filled with anticipation, picked up the puppy Dodge, teased it for a while, and then tossed it a mud shard for it to pick up and play with.

I was able to obtain the blueprint for the Ancient Mermaid Statue this time thanks to Dodge the dog's treasure hunt bonus. This must be a hidden feature; even if ordinary players have the blueprint, they might not be able to get such a good item.

Next, Zhou Nan waited for the dungeon to be cleared. He calculated the time and estimated that the Murloc leader Sharion would appear soon, so he returned to the village square to focus on defense.

Before long, Sharion, the leader of the murlocs, appeared, his body glowing red. By this time, the bloodthirsty little murlocs had been mostly eliminated. Zhou Nan didn't hold back. When Sharion arrived at the village entrance, he gave an order, and Panda Kuimei, Hengha Siye, and the others rushed forward and surrounded Sharion, mercilessly ganging up on him without any regard for the consequences.

With the combined fire of the Heroic Watchtower and the four wild beasts, the damage per second reached around 5,000, which was extremely high. Just a few seconds later, the Murloc leader Sharion triggered his second skill, "Rage," and his "Sweep Across the Land" skill had no cooldown and could be used several times in a row.

This was the first time Zhou Nan had ever seen the Murloc leader Sharion use this skill. As a result, the guy had only used [Sweep Across All Directions] once, and before he could use it a second time, he was knocked down. The words "Boiling Blood Fang" appeared above his head. Before he died, he tried to pounce on the panda Pan Mie, but unfortunately, he died before he could succeed.

"Hum Ha Siye only has 15,000 HP, which can only withstand three of Bloodthirsty Old Shark's [Sweep Across All Directions] at most. To be on the safe side, next time we fight Old Shark, let Thanos descend from the sky and stun it. A stun lasts for six seconds, which is enough to kill it."

Zhou Nan did gain some insight.

Unfortunately, the Murloc leader Sharion dropped nothing this time.

However, Zhou Nan did complete the N5 solo pass and obtained an achievement chest.

A moment later, Zhou Nan returned to the mission hall. He left behind a Level 5 Experience Chest and opened the other completion chests. Regardless of the materials, he collected a total of 240 gold coins, a 480-game-points card, 40 diamonds, a [Guardian of Casanar N5 Single-Pass Certificate], one unidentified white card, one unidentified green card, and one Heroic Village Guardian Card.

"The points reward for using the N5 is really generous; I also got 40 diamonds!"

Zhou Nan was delighted.

Among these acquired items, the unidentified green card was obtained from a solo achievement chest, and Zhou Nan identified it along with the unidentified white card.

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining the one-star white card [Light Tower Beast Servant 212]."

"Ding, identification successful. Congratulations on obtaining the one-star green card [Fishman Warrior Sharlive]."
