My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 146 The Angel of Gold Coins

The battle was triggered, and the [Flame Pirate Ship], which did not fight back, was quickly sunk. Zhou Nan easily gained 8000 game coins plus a white one-star [Garguru the Bug Sailor].

【Garguru the Bug Sailor】 has terrible stats and can be considered a trash white card.

"My luck wasn't good this time!"

Zhou Nan sighed.

Next was preparation time, and player number three started shouting: "Number seven, not bad, you took down the level boss again. What cards did you use?"

Zhou Nan shouted, "Guess! If you guess right, I'll tell you!"

"You're so cheeky. Now it's just the two of us. The battle of kings, are you ready?"

"Ready? Bring it on!"

"I'm not ready. We'll fight again in fifty minutes—"

At this very moment, atop another watchtower within this instance space, Player Number Three muttered to himself, "Who is that guy? He actually managed to kill two level bosses in a row! That's outrageous. Generally speaking, the stronger the card, the higher the mana cost. With so little mana, what kind of cards could he possibly use?"

This player, nicknamed "Cut Off 0.01 Yuan," isn't a smurf account; he's a veteran player of the "Gold Mine Wars" dungeon, having played it countless times and rarely fails now.

"This guy's defensive forces definitely include strong healers and strong damage dealers. Without strong healers, they won't last long enough to withstand this wave. Without strong damage dealers, it's impossible to kill the level boss. It will probably take some effort to defeat him."

[Cut off 0.01 yuan] His gaze swept downwards, and he was following the army-based strategy. The so-called army-based strategy is a term used by a small number of players. In reality, it is about pursuing troop strength and winning by relying on a large army and a massive number of troops.

This style of play is all about momentum. The core tactics are twofold: first, to pursue overwhelming numbers; and second, to build up an aura.

With more soldiers and generals, and more halos, one person leading a large army, or even an entire legion, creates an imposing presence. Legion-based players are all about that imposing presence.

According to [Cut Off 0.01 Yuan], a good card is one that can summon a large number of units or has an aura skill. Therefore, he spends a lot of time browsing the trading house every day. As long as he encounters a card that matches his ideas, he must buy it regardless of its price.

If I ever learn that a certain card can provide an aura skill or summon a large number of units, I will find out where it comes from and get it by farming monsters or doing quests.

Once, he spent 96 hours grinding in a monster spawn point, killing over 90,000 monsters to finally get a card that only provided a small attack power boost.

So he doesn't have a single high-level card yet, but he's playing the troop-based strategy quite well, and he's accumulated as many as fourteen aura cards.

If we're talking about the most impressive cards in the "Cut Off 0.01 Yuan" event right now, there are nine in total, all of them green cards. Six of these cards provide decent auras: Corruption Aura, Resilience Aura, Tranquility Aura, Thorns Aura, Attack Aura, and Ice Armor Aura.

The other three cards include the Spider Queen card. The Spider Queen summoned after use has mediocre stats but has a powerful egg-laying skill that can be considered a god-tier skill. It can continuously lay eggs and hatch baby spiders, essentially creating a barracks.

The second card is the Half-Dead Lich card. The Half-Dead Lich can continuously summon Necromancers. Necromancers are equivalent to green card summons and also have a skill that summons skeletons and skeleton archers. These two summoned units cannot exist for a long time like spiders, but their combat power is much stronger than spiders.

The third card is the Dog King card. The Dog King can summon hounds, which can exist for a very long time. A Dog King can have up to thirty-six hounds existing at the same time.

He has now used all nine cards. The defensive area below is filled with spiders, skeletons, and hounds, forming a massive and imposing force.

His cards are actually quite suitable for use in the [Gold Mine War] dungeon because they consume less mana. This dungeon tests the cost-effectiveness of cards. The amount of mana given is too small, and powerful cards, such as dragon cards, consume too much mana and are not suitable for use in this dungeon at all.

[Cut off 0.01 yuan] He pondered seriously: "The invading bandits are getting stronger and stronger, making defense increasingly difficult. The limit of my card deck is only up to wave 30. After that, I'll have to spend in-game currency to buy guards. I wonder what wave limit this guy has. If he can defeat the level boss, his cards must be very strong. Sending troops to attack is practically giving away in-game currency. I have plenty of in-game currency, so the best strategy is to buy troops to defend and wear him down. Yes, that's it—"

He made up his mind, stopped talking, and began to focus on defense.

Zhou Nan, however, was very interested in the level boss.

Defeating the level boss grants extra rewards, while failing to defeat it results in a loss.

[Cut off 0.01 yuan] He didn't send out any troops, fearing the game would end too soon. He was content to save up magic and wait to use [Panda Fairy - Pan Iron Fist].

【Panda Fairy Pan Iron Fist】 requires 1600 magic points to use, and Zhou Nan will have to wait until wave 32 to have the opportunity to use it.

With the Great Demon Chen Batian around, Zhou Nan wasn't worried about losing the defense. The only problem was the air force. Zhou Nan relied on Sword Butterfly Qiang Fen, four hero sentry towers, and Little Dragon Girl for air defense, but their firepower was far less than that against ground units.

Actually, the Sea Prince is incredibly powerful. This guy can unleash a Giant Hammer Vortex every 5 minutes, and each Giant Hammer Vortex lasts for 30 seconds. It gathers monsters and deals area damage, and the full damage to a single target can reach over 72,000. With just him, defending ground units is a breeze. Unfortunately, although the Giant Hammer Vortex's monster-gathering effect can work on flying units, it cannot damage them.

Zhou Nan didn't spend any game coins; he just slowly defended. The thirtieth wave arrived quickly, and the level boss was a [Coin Angel], a giant smiling coin with snow-white wings and a halo above its head. It flew close to the ground and had one million health points.

Zhou Nan used his Insight skill to observe that the [Gold Coin Angel] could drop three colors of Gold Coin Angel cards: white, green, and blue. After killing it, Zhou Nan was unlucky and only got one green one-star [Gold Coin Angel - Wai Rui Rui Chi].

The green card has only one skill, which is [Alchemy], limited to targets with less than 1,000 health. It can deal 1,000 points of magic damage to the target. If the target is successfully killed, the user can obtain gold coins based on the target's strength, up to a maximum of 1,000 gold coins per use.

"This Gold Coin Angel is a great asset for farming gold coins. I wonder what skills the blue card version has—"

Zhou Nan sighed silently. He thought the Golden City Angel Card was a good material for crafting cards, but the drop rate of this card was not high, so it would probably be a bit difficult to farm for it.

In the next wave, wave 31, the intensity suddenly increased, and one hundred legendary bandits spawned. These legendary bandits had 80,000 health points and an attack power of 1500!

The great demon burst into laughter, the sea prince leaped over, the giant hammer swirled, and the sword butterfly flashed in, unleashing a barrage of sword energy.

Thirty seconds later, all one hundred legendary thieves were wiped out. The walkthrough announcement appeared, and the commenter, "[Cut off 0.01 yuan]", immediately broke through the defenses and couldn't help but shout, "Who are you, sir? You wiped out such powerful legendary thieves in half a minute! Tell me, did you cheat?"

He felt that if things continued this way, it wouldn't be a "battle of kings" at all, but rather a "sparring match between kings".
