Who said this card is outrageous?

Now that he's reached the fourth level, he doesn't think he can master it in a short time.

The most important thing right now is to strengthen our own and Fu Xing's combat capabilities so that we can at least have some means of self-protection if we encounter danger in the rift.

Zhang Che currently has two trump cards on the surface: the Black Rhino Armor and the Harpy Armor, as well as the Demon Chain as his trump card.

However, considering the large number of people and eyes involved in this exploration, Zhang Che did not want to expose the existence of the [Demon Chain] unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, it's not impossible to use it if you really need to. Just try your best to conceal the effect of [Demon Chains] in imprisoning all the extraordinary powers of the target.

As for Fu Xing and the other two, Pan Tingting doesn't need Zhang Che to worry about them for the time being. She not only possesses the [Wings of Weapon], but can also summon the even more powerful [Wings of Armor] to appear and assist in battle when necessary.

Preparing her with extra cards would only be a waste of mental energy, so it would be better to try other things, such as getting some useful alchemical tools.

Fu Xing was in the same boat. As a warrior, his lack of mental strength meant he couldn't use too many cards, let alone reserve enough mental strength to support the evolution of [Agumon].

That leaves only Ruan Ruoshi.

This girl has a high level of mental strength. She currently only has one Tier 3 purple card, [Squid King], so she definitely has a lot of room for development.

This is also where Zhang Che plans to put his efforts.

After instructing Fu Xing and the other two to act freely, Zhang Che devoted himself entirely to the card-making operation. He spent most of his days searching for suitable card-making materials throughout the city, and then going to the Adventurers' Guild in Qi'an City to exchange the card recipes he needed with the points he had accumulated.

He also tried using points to exchange for recipes for some Tier 4 cards.

After all, last time he solved the problem of the three mid-level extraordinary beings of the Eye of Truth in Hezhou City, in addition to the Federation's reward, Zhu Yunge also specially approved some points for him.

Now is the time to realize their value!

However, by the fourth tier, card recipes were rarely considered useless, so they were all expensive. Zhang Che eventually used up all his points and only managed to exchange for three recipes and some materials.

With the mission about to begin, it would be unwise to waste time collecting materials, so even with a premium, Zhang Che had no choice but to accept it.

After a major shopping spree, Zhang Che finally got everything he needed. He then used all his remaining points to rent a dedicated card-making room at the Adventurers' Guild, where he planned to complete the rest of his work.

First is the water-based gun equipment card, 【Spine of the Waves】.

The main material must be the spine of a mid-level transcendent aquatic creature, along with a large amount of auxiliary materials used to polish and activate the main material.

Zhang Che happened to have some stock on hand.

"I never expected that the materials Uncle Wang gave me would actually come in handy here." Zhang Che took out a large box from his [Magic Pocket], opened it, and revealed several pieces of spine stored inside.

Each bone was the size of a volleyball, which is enough to prove how tall and strong its owner must have been.

Even among the murlocs, they are definitely among the most elite, fully meeting or even exceeding the main material requirements for [Spine of the Waves].

The only drawback is that nearly eighty years have passed since these spine pieces were removed, and even with Jingxin's preservation, some of the extraordinary energy within them has inevitably dissipated.

Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of the final card, Zhang Che had no choice but to add all the spines.

However, these spines need to undergo more meticulous processing before that can be done.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After three full days of preparation, Zhang Che finally processed all the materials and put them into the already drawn card blanks according to the steps.

Zhang Che's anchoring trait was activated simultaneously, anchoring the parts of all the materials being refined that were needed for the finished card, so that they would all be combined into one at the last moment.

Half an hour passed, and as blue alchemical patterns appeared on the card blank, the [Spine of the Rising Waves] was officially born.

The image depicts a spear whose shaft is entirely composed of segments of bone, ultimately transforming into a sharp bone blade at the top.

A faint blue light shimmered from between the bones, and a wave of water-based energy materialized at the tip of the spear.

Zhang Che couldn't wait to activate the card. He held the spear in his hand, feeling a heavy weight in it.

Although the raw material of this card is bone, its quality is in no way inferior to metal of the same volume, and may even be superior.

Zhang Che's small frame is fine for a few simple swings, but it's definitely not suitable for actual combat.

It looks like it can only be used properly after wearing the armor.

After having his fill, Zhang Che carefully put away the "Spine of the Breaking Waves" and then threw himself back into the card-making work.

About a week later, he used his fusion ability to create several new and powerful cards.

【Red Scale Flame Lizard】+【Swift Wings】+【Shattering Claw Strike】.

Card Name: Charizard (Fire, Wind)

Type: Summoning Card

Level: Tier 4

Grade: Blue

Skills: Flame Throw, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Air Blade

Talent: Blazing Fire

(Note: Fellow villager, do I look like a dragon to you?)

【Swift Wings】is a card that was made using the two wings of the Harpy Commander as the main material when I was in Hezhou City.

I hadn't had a chance to use it before, but I never expected it to come in handy here!

Chapter 232 [Flame Dragon Armor]

With the new card in hand, Zhang Che couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as he looked at the dragon-like creature soaring high in the card art.

He never expected it to be a fire-breathing dragon.

After all, in Zhang Che's memory, there were quite a few characters who could meet the requirements of fire attribute, reptile, and flight. Even with the help of anchoring traits, he himself could not guarantee what he could ultimately fuse.

I was hoping to get lucky and activate that trace of dragon blood in the [Crimson Scale Flame Lizard], creating a card with dragon attributes, but unfortunately, I failed.

As for Charizard, one can only say that even in a different world, it still has to endure the malice of being "dragon-like but not dragon-like".

Zhang Che strongly suspected that the information he brought to this world was too complete, to the point that some negative aspects were also revealed.

However, since things have come to this, there's nothing he can do to change anything. He can only hope that there will be an opportunity later to give Charizard an X-type Mega Stone so that it can experience being a Dragon-type.

I wonder if fusing Charizard with a Mega Stone would result in a Mega Charizard that permanently maintains its X-form.

Thinking about this, Zhang Che was actually quite eager to try it out.

However, even if we put aside the question of how to make the Mega Stone and Key Stone to work with Charizard, Zhang Che wouldn't be able to fuse them with his current abilities.

Well, since aiming too high is no good, let's focus on reality.

Zhang Che looked at another set of fusion materials on the table, took a deep breath, and then merged them into one.

Skeleton Archer (Fire) + Fire Stone + Flame Arrow

Under Zhang Che's guidance, the three blue-quality cards did not fuse into a more powerful [Skeleton Archer] as would have been normal, but instead transformed into a special equipment card.

【Netherfire Great Bow】, a Tier 3 purple equipment card. The card image shows a skeleton phantom the size of an adult, drawing the bowstring of a dark red great bow, which is even taller than itself, into an arc almost full moon.

Back in Binhai City, a Tier 3 purple-quality card would have made Zhang Che happy for a long time. However, he has now raised his standards. Even if he made a card of this level, he would only sell it to others. He certainly wouldn't need to use it himself.

The only unexpected part was that, perhaps due to Zhang Che's excessive intervention, the final product could not find any related information in his memory.

Instead, it seems to be a hybrid product, a hodgepodge, resulting from the combination of information from Blue Star Information and Zhang Che.

Of course, this is not particularly surprising, since Zhang Che had already learned from countless experiences that his fusion ability could be interfered with by external forces.

The result this time was just a little outrageous.

Zhang Che had to pay a considerable price for doing this; the most obvious being that the mental energy consumed during the fusion process was more than five times that under normal circumstances.

In other words, after advancing to the intermediate level of the extraordinary realm, Zhang Che's mental strength underwent a qualitative change. Otherwise, even at the peak of the third rank, he would have had to exhaust all his mental strength to do something like that.

He was taking this risk because he had no other choice. Based on his previous experience making the Black Rhino Armor, if he couldn't make it into a purple card in one go, it was best not to fuse the main weapon at the beginning, but to focus on the secondary weapon first.

Once the [Flame Dragon Armor] is fused, it can be further upgraded to purple quality by adding a main weapon.

The secondary weapon for the Flame Dragon Armor is naturally the "Flame Bow," but Zhang Che had searched through the Adventurers' Guild's exchange list and still couldn't find a suitable bow card recipe.

Of course, this doesn't mean they're all bad. There are indeed quite a few lower-tier extraordinary level bow cards on the list, but there's also a fifth-tier bow card.

The Adventurers' Guild didn't lie to Zhang Che about this; he was just unlucky.

If there were enough time, Zhang Che wouldn't be in a hurry, but the rift exploration was about to begin, and he didn't dare to delay. He could only try to take a side route, and unexpectedly, it actually worked.

……

After a brief meditation, once the mental energy in Zhang Che's mind had gradually stabilized, he immediately began making new cards.

[Flame Scale Armor] + [Netherfire Great Bow] + [Demon Sealing Seal].

Card Name: Flame Dragon Armor (Fire)

Type: Equipment Card

Level: Tier 4

Grade: Blue

Effect: Summons the Fire Dragon Armor for fusion.

Additional skills: Flame Fist, Flame Dragon Demon Sealing

Attached equipment: Flame Bow

(Note: Please call me the Hexagonal Warrior... no smaller characters allowed!)

Upon acquiring the new card, Zhang Che immediately wanted to mentally bind it to the [Flame Dragon Armor]. However, the next second, a peculiar sense of resistance arose in his heart, seemingly tinged with a little bit of grievance.

Zhang Che: ? ? ?

He quickly searched for the source of that feeling and found the Black Rhino Armor that was placed close to his body.

So, the Black Rhino Armor doesn't want to share a master with the Flame Dragon Armor?

After understanding the situation, Zhang Che did not ignore the idea of ​​the [Black Rhino Armor], but after a little thought, he temporarily gave up binding the [Flame Dragon Armor].

He didn't know if it was simply a matter of incompatibility or the exclusiveness of the armor's will, but for now, it was best not to cause any further trouble.

Zhang Che had used cards with other attributes before, but he clearly had no objections to the [Black Rhino Armor].

Fortunately, Zhang Che didn't come away empty-handed. At least he learned that the Five Elements Armor actually had its own consciousness, but it was so weak that it rarely came out on its own.

Zhang Che would definitely not give up on the [Flame Dragon Armor], after all, it is the key to whether he can eventually develop the Emperor Armor.

However, for the sake of the bigger picture, he will not provoke the Black Rhino Armor until at least the end of this mission, in order to avoid any unexpected incidents.

If he can't even summon a set of armor by then, his fragile character will be completely finished.
