My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 42, N4 cleared.

"The Red Card family... Could there really be a Red Card professional similar to me, the Black Card Emperor? The Red Card Emperor?"

Zhou Nan rubbed his chin.

Black cards and red cards are the most common unconventional cards. Black cards cannot be reforged or disassembled. Zhou Nan doesn't know the characteristics of red cards yet. He has seen a few red cards in the trading house before, with varying attributes.

"If someone can open a room on N5 difficulty, it means they've at least cleared N4. The players in this expert's room must be quite skilled. Can they clear N5?"

Zhou Nan was curious, but unfortunately he didn't have the qualifications to unlock the N5 difficulty level, so he couldn't click into the room to take a look. Instead, he created his own room with the default name: "N4, Black Card Emperor"!

At this very moment, in this exclusive room for top players of the Red Card family, three players are communicating via voice chat.

All three players have "Red Card" as a prefix to their nicknames. They are all level 9 and have an impressive record of clearing the game more than 30 times.

"As far as I know, no one has been able to clear N5 on Epic difficulty yet! Let's give it our all this time and try to clear it; there's definitely an achievement reward to be won!"

The speaker is nicknamed "Polenatz," and is a female player who has cleared "Guardian of Casanar" a whopping 39 times!

"We've already tried six times!" said a player nicknamed [Red Card - Mighty Hammer]. "For players below level ten, clearing this is incredibly difficult. Just the defense fortification mission alone requires 3200 gold coins, and we can't finish it even if we work ourselves to death. The little murlocs are always in Bloodlust mode, running incredibly fast. That old shark is even more ferocious; its normal attack deals 1600 damage, and its sweeping attack deals 4800 damage to the entire screen, plus a second hit. Who can withstand that?"

"Don't worry, being the first to clear the N5 is a family honor. The Fighting Family and the Righteous Family are also vying for it. The leader has already spoken; he will send someone with a red card to provide support. Wait a moment, wait a moment... A message has arrived!"

The third player, nicknamed "Han Buxin," paused for a moment, then excitedly exclaimed, "He's here!"

Then, a player nicknamed "Invincible" entered the room and immediately said, "Hello everyone, the leader asked me to team up with you to play N5. Don't worry, with me invincible, we'll definitely clear it this time!"

"Welcome, welcome! May I ask what your card role is, Invincible Brother? Are you a tank, damage dealer, or support?"

"I was playing tank, and the leader gave me a red card, Bloodthirsty Behemoth, 12 HP, blue card level, can handle Old Shark without a problem!"

"You have a red card from the cult leader? Okay, let's try it once..."

The four of them quickly started the game. At the same time, Zhou Nan, along with [Valkyrie Lin Yun], [Fast Runner], and [Outrageous], also entered the N4 difficulty Guardian of Casanar dungeon.

"Regional Announcement: The power of the deep sea is spreading, and evil murlocs are about to attack... The current defense difficulty is N4. Please note that at this difficulty, all attacking murlocs will gain a basic Bloodlust status, increasing their movement and attack speed by 50%. The murloc leader Sharion will unlock his second skill..."

After the regional announcement, Zhou Nan immediately said, "Three minutes to prepare. Have all your valiant village guards been deployed? Release them and get to work!"

"All done!"

"Not only that, but using the tree-digging techniques taught by Brother Nan, I even managed to defeat General Rock!"

"Next time we farm the granite golems, it'll be my turn to deliver the final blow!"

"Take me with you too! I've already unlocked the Heroic Village Guard rank. Next time, let's all go together..."

The three of them, including Valkyrie Lin Yun, were in high spirits, frantically tossing cards as they talked, bang bang bang bang bang...

Soon, the Cow Warrior, the Steam Mad Cow, the Rock General, along with three valiant village guards and two unicorn wolves appeared.

The Rock General was summoned by [Valkyrie Lin Yun], but his card is only five stars, one star less than Zhou Nan's.

The two unicorn wolves were summoned by [Outrageous]. It is clear that he followed Zhou Nan's advice and bought transitional cards from the trading house, and probably cleared N1 solo.

Zhou Nan nodded, then threw out ten Hero Cards, and released Panda Pan Kui, Rock General Da Gun, Wild Man Hello, and Sword Butterfly Qiang Fen.

"N4, move 1600 bricks. The four of us, plus Ten Heroes and Three Village Guards, that's 17 players moving bricks together. Let's try to finish the task within fifteen minutes, then regroup for defense!" Zhou Nan said. "I'll tank the first two waves of monsters. Your summoned beasts stay in the village; I need to count the kills!"

"Okay, no problem!"

"As you wish!"

"Let's move the bricks! Wow, that's equivalent to 17 players moving bricks together, that's quite a sight. Other teams probably won't be able to finish the defense mission..."

Zhou Nan and [Li Dapu] chatted and worked on their tasks at the same time, easily completing the task in just 14 minutes. At that time, the second wave of small fish had just begun to spawn.

"Alright, the defenses are complete, so there's nothing to worry about now! Run fast, you have a mount, go do some gathering quests. Lin Yun, you leave the Cow Warrior and Rock General here, don't worry about them, let's go to the Wild Monster Forest to farm monsters and collect treasures until we clear the dungeon!"

Zhou Nan waved to the crowd, and he had already led the wild man Haro toward the Wild Monster Forest.

Zhou Nan had already positioned Rock General Big Roll and Panda Pan Kui at the village entrance. He also left Sword Butterfly Qiang Fen behind as damage dealers. With Valkyrie Lin Yun's Cow Warrior and the five-star Rock General, Zhou Nan felt that holding off the Murloc attack on N4 difficulty would be no problem at all.

On N4 difficulty, the little fishman has 240 HP, the mini-boss Jason has 2400 HP, and the catfish Sika has 4800 HP, so they are not a threat. Even with the initial bloodlust status, it is useless. They definitely cannot break through the battle line composed of the two rock generals and the four "gatekeepers" Pan Kui, the panda, and the cow warrior.

Only Old Shark has some strength, with 24000 health points and a base attack power of 800, but he definitely can't cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, Panda Pan Kui and Sword Butterfly Qiang Fen provide the output, and their damage is also sufficient.

[Outrageous] said, "You all go, you all go, I'll just watch the fight from here."

[Valkyrie Lin Yun] also said, "I'll be watching too. Just thinking about what will happen later makes me excited. This is N4 difficulty!"

[When two people meet on a narrow path, one must run fast] said, "You're spineless! I'll go do a gathering quest!"

He flipped himself onto the steam-powered mad bull and headed straight for the monster forest behind him. This is where the advantage of having a mount really comes in – you can run fast.

Zhou Nan didn't care. He led 10 heroes to the monster forest, placed the hero watchtowers at will, and farmed monsters at will, making the jungle clearing incredibly fast.

Time passed, and before anyone knew it, the ninth wave of murlocs had begun their attack.

At the monster spawn point due south, the murloc leader Sharion appeared, carrying the Deep Sea Trident. He was glowing red and was a size larger than normal, due to his initial bloodlust state.

The other little fishmen were the same; they were all glowing red, and they no longer walked leisurely with a swaying gait, but rather with quick, short steps.

Before long, the three groups of merfolk gathered at the south gate of the small fishing village, forming a huge, bloodthirsty mass. They were all glowing red, creating quite a formidable sight.

[Outrageous] and [Valkyrie Lin Yun] raised their arms and shouted at the village entrance, just like a cheerleading squad.

"Brother Panda, bring on the Fire Fist! Come on, burn them to death!"

"Sword energy, sword energy, ten thousand swords paying homage, celestial beings descending from the heavens, a single sword coming from the west—kill!"

These two were even more excited than if they were fighting monsters themselves. They found it thrilling to watch the little fishmen fall one by one in front of the "Four Great Kings".

Before long, only the Murloc Sharlion remained to attack the Murlocs. He swept his halberd across the battlefield, fighting the "Four Great Kings" alone, but he was beaten so badly that he was unrecognizable. It was like being ganged up on, losing seven or eight hundred health points per second. He couldn't hold on for more than five minutes before throwing away his halberd and dying.
