My Card Beast Taming Game

Han Baobao said regretfully, "The white ape has a relatively weak ability to withstand injuries."

Then, she praised again: "Great, great! 'Behavioral synchronization' and 'spiritual fervor' are techniques for novice card masters. Only a very talented trainee card master can trigger them!"

"So I told him to change his card! He refused! Serves him right!"

Lu Qingning snorted and said to Zhou Chen, "Don't force yourself. Take it back and summon it again. What fighting power do you have left, you monkey?"

"Oh……"

Zhou Chen nodded, but didn't rush to do as instructed. Instead, he first said to the person opposite him, "I agree—"

"I give up! You're pretty good, buddy, I admire you!" His opponent surrendered even faster than he did.

Clearly, the Lightning Falcon is also out of combat capability.

Zhou Chen was about to say something, but he changed it to something else: "Thank you for your kind words."

In the blink of an eye, the opposing team brought in a new card player, who seemed ready to take on him in a series of battles.

Zhou Chen did not refuse. The battle just now was too short. Apart from resummoning, there was basically no loss of physical and mental strength. It wouldn't be a problem to fight a few more battles.

"White Ape! Prepare for battle!"

He muttered to himself as he tried to summon it again, as if to encourage himself.

Lu Qingning rolled her eyes. "Childish!"

Han Baobao covered her mouth and laughed.

Am I really that talented?

After winning two, drawing one, and losing one of his four matches, Zhou Chen recalled the White Ape and couldn't help but think about it.

“Zhou Chen, this card is decent, but it’s not really suitable for you. You’re better suited for a faster spirit card.”

Han Baobao finally understood why Lu Qingning was so dissatisfied with him not changing his cards. "For example, Lightning Falcon is definitely better than White Ape."

Lu Qingning sneered, "I've told you so many times, but this person is as stubborn as a mule and just won't listen."

As the two said, the White Ape's movement speed is slower compared to the Lightning Falcon. If Zhou Chen were to use the latter, he would definitely achieve a better result.

Zhou Chen admitted, "I was wrong."

They blindly admit their mistakes but refuse to correct them.

Fortune changes every thirty years, so don't underestimate an old ape's poverty!

Seeing that the other side did not send anyone else, he left the arena, ending his first experience with the Spirit Card Arena.

Zhou Chen found himself very nervous at first, but he naturally calmed down once the battle began.

It was only when he came off the field that he felt a strong sense of fatigue, as if a taut string had finally been released.

It must be because of the prolonged concentration.

Just like in a boxing match, you have to fight for three minutes and then rest for one minute, otherwise the boxer won't be able to keep going.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy feedback allows card masters to have a good physique without the need for exercise.

Those card masters who look fat are not necessarily unhealthy. A small number of unhealthy ones are those who have overindulged to the point that their mental energy cannot keep up with the feedback, and they have to wait for a qualitative change in their mental energy.

After he left the field, Han Baobao came on.

The spirit card used was not the electromagnetic cannon scorpion seen during the day, but a blue-green merman who was half fish and half human.

Its appearance has some feminine features, but it is not beautiful; instead, it has a somewhat ferocious look.

Lu Qingning whispered, "This is Hanbao's Lingxiao Mermaid."

【Lingxiao Mermaid】, a Silver-tier Water-attribute Monster-type Spirit Card.

The moment Zhou Chen saw it, one sentence immediately popped into his mind—

This thing must be very expensive!

He took out his phone and searched in the offline encyclopedia. Because Lu Qingning had given him the name, he quickly found the corresponding spirit card.

【Name: Lingxiao Mermaid】

[Race: Spirit]

[Rank: Silver]

【属性：water type】

【Skill ①: [Spiritual Silk Binding] / Skill ②: [Breath Surge] / Skill ③: [Shadow of the Mermaid]】

Long-pressing a skill will display its corresponding effect—namely, control skills, attack skills, and passive skills.

This passive skill is interesting because it only triggers in water or foggy environments; the current environment cannot trigger it.

A qualified silver card usually has three skills: two active and one passive, or one active and two passive.

The Lingxiao Mermaid is a qualified Spirit Card, with multiple bonuses such as a humanoid card and combat power. As for the price... I couldn't find it. It's an extremely rare card, and there's no official price because the number of copies sold is too small.

It is certain that it is comparable to a one-star gold card on the market, worth at least three million, something that is not something that ordinary people can possess.

The outcome is obvious.

Although the price is not entirely equivalent to the combat power of the spirit card, the stats are definitely higher than those of common spirit cards of the same tier. As long as Han Baobao's operation doesn't drag her down, it won't be easy for her to lose.

Of course, the value of the three-star spirit card on the other side will also be no less than a million.

After all, the price of a single one-star spirit card is what it is, and under normal circumstances, card masters will consume spirit cards of the same type to fuse together, thus speeding up the star-up process.

A card, regardless of its rarity, can be fused a maximum of four times.

According to relevant information, five bronze cards cannot be upgraded to two stars by fusion, but five silver cards can; five silver cards cannot be upgraded to three stars, but five gold cards can, and so on.

In other words, each grade of spirit card requires extra effort to reach its maximum potential; it cannot be directly upgraded to its maximum star level through spirit card fusion.

It is evident that regardless of the rank of the spirit card, the experience points required for each star level remain unchanged or change very little, which to some extent stabilizes the value of high-rank spirit cards.

In addition to fusing with similar spirit cards, star-level upgrades can also be achieved through nurturing with spiritual power.

The threshold for nurturing is very low, with no level restrictions; even a trainee card master can nurture a gold card.

Therefore, a small number of low-level card players choose to raise cards to make money. Although the profit is low, it is still better than risking their lives by going into secret realms to adventure.

Zhou Chen once tried to buy common one-star bronze cards, feed them to dogs to upgrade them to two stars, and then sell them. However, after only one sale, he received harassing phone calls asking how many cards he had. This scared him so much that he promptly deleted the account he used to sell the cards.

From then on, I no longer trusted any so-called spirit card trading platforms.

After only two matches, the people from the opposing Giant Rhino Club said goodbye and left. They had accidentally wandered into the Heavenly Palace and lost all night, and continuing to play would easily affect their mindset for hunting monsters during the day.

The surrounding card players were somewhat unconvinced, and several of them volunteered to fight and show them their power.

Lu Qingning accepted all comers without hesitation, and within two or three minutes they were defeated and left in a sorry state, displaying an unparalleled domineering attitude.

Han Baobao also won almost all her battles, though the process was a bit tortuous.

Only Zhou Chen...

He was still a newbie, and his Spirit Cards couldn't completely overwhelm his opponents with numerical superiority, so he often lost to them.

This also resulted in extremely high mental energy depletion.

To his surprise, no one caused any trouble. Even though his White Ape suffered a crushing defeat, no one was willing to take the opportunity to destroy him in one fell swoop.

This world is indeed mostly inhabited by normal people.

Zhou Chen was very pleased with this.

The three of them played in the open-air arena for more than two hours, and only left when they felt a little tired.

In the hotel corridor, the three of them went back to their respective rooms to rest and meditate.

Next, he waited for dawn to go out and kill monsters. After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen finally ran a dungeon.

Pursue maximum profits!

-

Dawn breaks.

The Watery Secret Realm has welcomed a new day.

Thick fog drifted by, affecting even the outpost, but it didn't stop the entire base from bustling with activity.

Off-road vehicles and motorcycles roared outwards, accompanied by the howling of various large card creatures, creating a vibrant scene throughout the secret realm.

Zhou Chen and others were also among them, and within half an hour, Lu Qingning had already rejected four group invitations.

She said with disgust, "These last-minute invitees are all bad people, especially those who invite women; nine out of ten of them are trash."

Then she said to Zhou Chen, "Don't go to places with lots of girls, guys will just be doing all the hard work; don't go to places with only one pretty girl, they're all just simps."

"Don't go to places that are all boys, they might be a gay group," Han Baobao said with a grin.

Hua Ning also laughed and said, "Don't go here or there, little cousin, there's no team you can join."

Lu Qingning said somewhat awkwardly, "No way! There are always reliable teams that can go. The team from Gaoliang yesterday was pretty good. The accident was just an accident caused by overconfidence."

After spraying a large amount of insect repellent, the group set off.

Because there were so many teams going out, even after driving four or five kilometers, they still hadn't encountered any stray monsters, so they had to continue deeper into the area.

Fortunately, the Water Marsh Secret Realm was vast enough that there was practically no one beyond ten kilometers, and they successfully killed two groups of monsters.

Today I encountered the fourth type—

Leaf-decaying flies

They appear in groups of twenty or thirty, each the size of a human head, and they leave behind a trail of putrid dust. They rely on their high mobility to cause chaos everywhere.

Moreover, they are very good at picking on the weak; a small number of them go after the Dark Flame Lion and the Electromagnetic Cannon Scorpion, while the majority attack the White Ape and the Card Master himself.

However, due to their weak individual strength, they were quickly defeated by Lu Qingning and Han Baobao.

However, the white ape that participated in the battle looked rather miserable. It was not fast enough and had been bitten several times, leaving it with several bloody holes, making it look quite frightening.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to deactivate the summon.

Chapter 36: Card Making and Forced Luck

Not only are the leaf-decaying flies disgusting in appearance and attack methods, but they are also of very low value. The only materials that can be collected are their compound eyes, wing membranes, and powder, which are generally priced at around 100 yuan per kilogram.

Once made into a one-star card, its market price is only 8,000 yuan, and the buyback price is even lower. It is easy to see from the price that it has little ability to stand alone.

The darker the card player's face, the more they hate this kind of monster.

Zhou Chen is alright.

Although it took a lot of mental energy, he managed to create fifteen cards from a total of twenty relatively intact corpses.

Even Hua Ning couldn't help but exclaim after seeing this, "Zhou Chen, with this kind of luck, you're definitely going to be a hot commodity in the future!"

The situation was so astonishing that she began to call him by his first name.

Han Baobao deeply agrees, "If your luck can stay this consistent, intermediate card master teams might all be willing to take you along."

The cheapest one-star gold card costs around three million.

Moreover, the boss monsters in small dungeons are mostly of the Gold rank, and hunting teams often bring along a lucky card master to craft cards after killing the boss.

Lord monsters are the most common type of extremely rare cards!

Lu Qingning didn't say anything, but when Zhou Chen looked over, she gave him a rare smile and said, "Good luck."

"..."

Zhou Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

What's going on? Did I do something wrong?

He thought about it again and again and realized that he might be sick. Otherwise, why would he feel uncomfortable when Lu Qingning smiled at him?

The team continued forward.

The secret realm after a lord's death clearly has a set of rules—

Monsters with strong individual strength tend to form smaller groups, while those with weak individual strength tend to form larger groups.
