Card Making: My Card Game Starts with the White Dragon

"Is this something like a demon core? So killing blue-quality sea monsters has this kind of benefit?"

Zhou Hao had almost forgotten Ao Lie's unique characteristic: the Jade Dragon Pearl had only one year of cultivation.

In other words, the current combat power is basically derived from the innate advantages of the dragon race.

However, this innate advantage was so strong that Zhou Hao had always overlooked this point.

"But why didn't we see this when we killed the fused version of the [Water Elemental Giant]?"

Zhou Hao didn't quite understand, but he guessed it might be related to the type of sea monster.

He deftly pulled out a blank card, a flash of blue light, and a brand new [Boxing Shrimp Monster] card was born.

"These kinds of sea monsters aren't uncommon in Shanhai City. I estimate they cost around 170,000 to 160,000? Adding in the lower-level ones, it should easily bring the total to over 200,000."

Zhou Hao and Ao Lie, the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon of the West Sea, searched for sea monsters in the water while estimating the price of the material cards.

"More than 200,000 yuan in five minutes, no wonder everyone wants to be a card maker, the speed at which you can make money is too fast."

Strangely, Zhou Hao and Ao Lie wandered around this high-risk red area for a long time but couldn't find a second [Boss-level] sea monster.

"That's strange. I remember the [Boxing Shrimp Monster] was a social sea monster. How come there's only one in this huge stone forest?"

Zhou Hao instinctively felt something was wrong, but the stone forest was far from over, so he continued to explore.

But there were really no threats along the way. His only job was to take out the sealing card and seal the sea monster that the White Dragon had killed.

Yes, along the way, there were no tests, no fierce battles.

There was no back-and-forth exchange, only instant kills!

This is the power of a true dragon in the sea!

"Two [Elite] cards, three [Dangerous] cards, another 130,000! This feeling of picking up money is amazing!"

Zhou Hao used his mental power to check the storage card again, and only after confirming that he still had three digits of blank cards did he feel at ease to continue forward.

"Beep beep beep~"

Suddenly, Zhou Hao heard a message notification on his phone.

Upon opening it, he found Zhao Lei frantically tagging him in the class group chat:

"Brother Hao, take me with you! Is it too late for me to bring my pangolin and go swimming with you?"

Others also asked: "Master Zhou, are the sea monsters more sparsely distributed in the clearing zone of the sea, making them easier to kill?"

"If that's the case, I'll go ask the instructor for a [Mental Strength Enhancement Potion] and try to make a naval battle-type card by tomorrow."

Zhang Yaoyang: "Haoshen, you've got 87.8 points! Aren't you going to resupply? Even Xiao Huohuo from Class Two, who killed two [Boss-level] sea monsters, isn't as fast as you!!"

Xu Miaomiao: "Hey Bull, there's a [Boss-level] stone monster up ahead. Want to team up? Credits are negotiable."

Zhao Lei: "Sister Miao, please help me out! My pangolin is a natural rock catcher."

Xu Miaomiao: "Come quickly, coordinates..."

Meanwhile, in a cave within the red-zone clearing area, Ma Ling'er, who had just killed the [Boss-level] Ghost-faced Spider Demon, checked the group messages.

With a blank expression, he put away his phone and continued walking deeper into the cave.

……

Zhou Hao did not reply; he didn't have time to guide each student on their card-making plans right now.

"It seems the stronger students in the class have already started facing [Boss-level] monsters. Let's find them for another hour."

If I still don't find any boss-level monsters, I'll have to explore a different red clearing zone.

Zhou Hao had made up his mind, so he continued his exploration.

He opened the credit ranking and found his name prominently displayed at the top, a full 10 points ahead of Xiao Huohuo in second place.

"Luckily, Ao Lie is efficient at killing monsters, so he managed to catch up with the quality through sheer quantity."

As for the supply issue that Zhang Yaoyang mentioned, Zhou Hao was not worried.

With his current mental energy at the level of [Hidden Dragon in the Abyss/Avoiding Water Technique], he could sustain himself for three consecutive days without any problem.

Others might need to wait for sea monsters to surface during naval battles, or consider oxygen levels when diving, but Zhou Hao doesn't.

If this were at the bottom of the West Sea, where Zhou Hao and Ao Lie could recover health and mana while underwater, that would be a true perpetual motion machine.

In this sea area, Zhou Hao did not feel the faint effect of mental energy recovery.

"I could recover my mental strength even when I was in Shanhai City, even if I got caught in the rain."

However, the rainfall in Shanhai City is indeed inextricably linked to the surrounding West Sea.

As they were talking, Zhou Hao suddenly noticed that there were far fewer sea monsters in the area.

We didn't even see any common creatures like fish or turtles.

Looking around, rows of stone pillars are planted diagonally on the seabed, seaweed sways gently, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a dazzling red streak appeared out of nowhere and drifted into Zhou Hao's view.

Zhou Hao observed intently and sniffed:

"This is... blood?"

……

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, the bald old man called Lao Yu was roaring loudly again:

"This kid is about to enter an unmonitored area, which is a high-risk red zone for clearing out criminals."

We haven't even figured out why the last batch of [Eyes of Surveillance] malfunctioned, and the new [Eyes of Surveillance] aren't even in place yet!! It's dangerous there!!

If anything happens to this kid, teacher, I'll have to teach you a lesson, even if it means breaking the class rules!

Principal Zhu turned to look at his student and said with a smile, "Little bald guy, you just got a red card, and you want to show off to your teacher?"

I've been teaching for over a hundred years. I might not be good at fighting, but when it comes to teaching and judging character...

You kids, plus your parents, can't compare to me!

If you protect him in every way, you'll only ruin this good seedling! You'll kill it!

Moreover, this kid isn't the kind of person who recklessly barges in without knowing his place.

Old Yu, however, remained adamant, grumbling as he tried to leave: "No,"

This skill is crucial; this kid can't afford the slightest mistake. I'm sending a rescue team!

Principal Zhu's voice drifted over:

"What kind of person is the commander of an army who is still so reckless?"

"The work of going into the water is something this old man has to do."

……

Meanwhile, inside the Shrimp Monster Stone Forest.

Zhou Hao followed the trail of blood in the water.

The further you go, the redder the sea becomes.

At the same time, the remains of various sea monsters began to drift in continuously.

"Such a large-scale death of sea monsters couldn't have been caused by students. What could it be?"

Zhou Hao was a little nervous, but Ao Lie beside him gave him plenty of confidence.

"After all, the school is watching over us. If we can win, we fight; if we can't, we run away."

Moreover, with Ao Lie around, Zhou Hao felt confident that even if a few more [Boss-level] sea monsters came, he wouldn't be afraid.

He and Ao Lie continued their search along the seabed, heading towards the source of the blood and the remains of the sea monster.

After walking for about five or six minutes, a huge underwater cliff appeared in front of them.

Waves far more turbulent than the previous currents surged continuously from below the cliff, accompanied by the roars of various sea monsters.

When Zhou Hao reached the edge of the cliff and saw the view below, he finally understood why he hadn't seen the sea monster along the way.
