My Card Beast Taming Game

Squeak~

As the large iron gate closed, Captain Changming flapped his wings and flew down, his eyes seemingly lively, or perhaps it was just Zhou Chen's imagination.

He touched the fiery red rooster comb that had burst open like flames, clenched his fist, and said, "I have to work harder to get the exclusive weapon and rebuild the glory of the African War God!"

With nothing to do in the afternoon, he decided to run a few dungeons.

Lu Qingning's discrimination against Bai Yuangong infuriated him, and he was determined to prove to her that Bai Yuangong was truly deserving of recognition.

Also, in order to advance to the junior level as soon as possible.

Just as he was getting dressed and ready to enter the dungeon, he suddenly remembered something.

Oh right!

The energy-boosting liquid is almost here!

Because they live in the same city, the various mental energy supplements he bought in the morning would be delivered in the afternoon, so Zhou Chen had to temporarily put his plan to grind the game on hold.

Fortunately, the package arrived shortly afterward.

After signing for the package using facial recognition, Zhou Chen couldn't wait to open it.

As a precious treasure used exclusively by card masters, the Divine Elixir is usually stored in a beautiful jade bottle. It is transparent, colorless, and odorless, but just a slight whiff of it can make one feel as if their pores are expanding.

The market price is 2,000 yuan per milliliter, but he bought 100 milliliters.

Then there's the Flesh Spirit Flower stored in the wooden box. The useless stamens have been removed, leaving only the thick, deep red petals, as if it were nourished by flesh and blood.

The market price is 10,000 yuan per flower, and he bought ten.

The rest were tonics to nourish the body and restore energy. They were relatively inexpensive, but they still cost him around 100,000 yuan.

That's how 400,000 was spent.

"They're really spending money like water," Zhou Chen sighed.

He should take one milliliter of the Replenishing Spirit Liquid three times a day, and one petal of the Flesh Spirit Flower daily, enough for him to eat for a month.

"One month! Is that enough time to reach the beginner level?"

He turned to look at the game panel.

His current level is Lv.6, and the sign of condensing spirit into qi is a throbbing pain between his eyebrows. He feels nothing at the moment, so Lv.10 is probably not enough to condense spirit into qi.

Does it mean I need to reach Lv.15 or even Lv.20?

Now that we have the Spirit-Replenishing Elixir and the Flesh Spirit Flower, the leveling speed should be faster.

You have to go into a dungeon and kill monsters at least once to unlock the next stage. He has only completed the beginner dungeon so far. He hasn't unlocked the intermediate, advanced, or even the ultimate super-advanced dungeon yet.

Not to mention the difficult challenge dungeon where the event boss is located.

"Come on, let's go! There's no time to lose, charge!"

After taking the Rejuvenating Elixir and the Flesh Spirit Flower, Zhou Chen, fully armed, charged into the dungeon.

Today is another day full of hope!

-

Boom!

"Zhou Chen! Grandma's calling you to dinner!"

dong dong!

"Zhou Chen! Stop playing games!"

Boom boom boom!

"Zhou Chen! You're dead—"

Squeak~

The large iron gate opened, and Lu Qingning, who was about to kick it down, bumped into the listless Zhou Chen.

She was startled by the person's state. "What's wrong with you?"

"I did a little bit of physical exercise."

Zhou Chen said weakly, "Please tell Grandma that I'm so sleepy I can't go for now, and please thank her for me."

"Shall I bring you your food? Hey! Eat your fill before you sleep!"

Seeing him stagger around without even closing the door, looking half-asleep, Lu Qingning muttered a few words and left with the door half-closed.

She then brought over a bowl full of food, placed it on Zhou Chen's dining table, and covered it with a lid to keep out dust and insects.

"Zhou Chen? Zhou Chen?"

no response.

Lu Qingning hesitated whether to go into his room to take a look, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up. It wasn't appropriate for a girl like her to casually enter and leave a boy's room.

"I've put the food on the table. Remember to eat when you wake up!"

She called out and ran to the front yard to chase the chickens.

After joking around with Captain Changming for a while, Lu Qingning wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead.

Is it just my imagination?

Zhou Chen's yard seemed warmer than hers, perhaps because the temperature rose again in the afternoon?

Lu Qingning didn't think much of it. She looked up at the Changming Captain on the second floor and thought that she would catch it sooner or later and ravage it to her heart's content!

Click.

The gate is closed.

Captain Changming leaped down and crouched motionless in front of Zhou Chen's room.

Its eyes sparkled with a lively light, no longer as rigid as before, as if they had their own emotions and thoughts.

On Zhou Chen's game panel, the image of Captain Changming flickered quietly, becoming even more vivid.

Chapter 20: The Colossus of Red Bronze

The money wasn't wasted.

Zhou Chen woke up refreshed after only three hours of sleep.

"Exercise! Boost your energy!"

With his youthful body, nourished spirit, and supplements, I believe that even if he only exercises occasionally, his physique will definitely continue to improve.

I've heard that some high-level card masters are so strong that they can try their luck, and even then, it won't be them who get knocked out.

Whether it is true or false is still unknown.

There are no videos online of senior card drivers being hit by cars.

But if he continues to train, I believe that one day he will be able to grind dungeons 24/7 without sleep.

hiss!

This less-than-ideal future sent a shiver down Zhou Chen's spine.

His motivation to become stronger was to embrace a better life and ensure his own safety from the wanton intrusion of others.

I currently have no intention of becoming king or conqueror, even though I have the game interface.

Of course, Zhou Chen also knew that as long as he chose to walk the path of a card master, he would inevitably have conflicts with others, and it would be difficult to maintain a stable and peaceful life in the long run.

Everything has its destiny, and he is ready to face it.

Zhou Chen went out of the room, put the cold bowl of rice on the table into the microwave to heat it up, ate it quickly, washed it, and took it next door.

It was only a little past eight o'clock, not too late.

The Lu family was gathered in the living room watching TV. When they saw him bringing over the bowl, they all greeted him with smiles.

The old woman said, "Qing Ning went out for exercise; she's probably in the fields."

"Oh! Thank you, Grandma! Dinner was delicious!"

Zhou Chen responded, but had no intention of going over there.

I've been running around with Lu Qingning these past few days, it's time for me to have some peace and quiet and prepare for the late-night dungeon runs.

After a hard afternoon's work, he successfully leveled up again and is now a Lv.7 Apprentice "Grand" Card Master. The increased formation point consumption has now met the requirements.

It can summon one Gold card and one Silver card at the same time, or summon one Gold card and two Bronze cards.

In other words, if he wanted, he could go and do intermediate dungeons right away!

This is undoubtedly exciting news.

Being able to summon another Silver Card signifies that his survivability is guaranteed, and he no longer needs to worry about being affected by the falling rocks.

As for control... there's probably not much that can be done.

Even the game panel doesn't allow him to control Silver-tier spirit cards beyond his level; he can only control them by voice like Captain Changming.

Fortunately, he wasn't expecting that silver card to deal damage; its main purpose was to protect him.

As for summoning two bronze cards by forming a group, and then summoning a third one using a summoning device...

It just means he's not that free.

The number of spirit cards a card master can summon is related to his mental strength. If his mental strength is high enough, summoning a hundred is not a problem.

Control is another matter entirely.

Card Masters are a profession that requires multitasking, and summoning multiple cards requires multitasking, increasing the difficulty exponentially.

So unless someone is completely insane, they usually only use one spirit card and then find teammates to enhance their survivability.

This is also the reason why solo entry into secret realms is not allowed.

There is still one thing troubling him—

The courtyard wall is not high enough.

The wall of their own courtyard was only a little over two meters high, while the bronze statue was more than three meters tall, reaching up to the second floor.

Furthermore, the bronze colossus, like the black iron colossus, makes a huge commotion when it appears. He once went up the mountain specifically to form a troop and was almost scared to death by this guy.

"If only we could group characters within the instance, that would be amazing! Damn grouping functionality!" Zhou Chen sighed.

To be honest, his constant running up the mountain is quite eye-catching.

It would be great if there were a card like Captain Changming that could exist in reality for a long time without arousing suspicion.

move place?

Where else could he move to? The rural area where he lived was already considered remote.

or……

To contract out the low hills behind the village?

Zhou Chen recalled the mountain he and Lu Qingning had visited. It used to be contracted out to grow things, but the mountain went bankrupt due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Let's ask about it tomorrow."

It's too late today, there's no way to talk to the villagers.

After getting dressed, he went out and walked to a secluded area instead of riding a shared bicycle. During this time, he also sent a message to Lu Qingning to ask for her location.

After some effort, and confirming that the other party was not nearby, he found a secluded and dark mountain valley and used the formation function to summon the Copper Golem.

rumble!

The ground trembled, and a dark red to black metal colossus rose from the ground, revealing its tall and majestic figure.

"Buzzing—"

It is slightly smaller than the Black Iron Colossus, probably because it is only a two-star level.
