My Card Beast Taming Game

[Type: Earth + Fire]

[Rank: Two Stars]

Active Skill - [Fiery Hammer]

After a brief charge, unleash a powerful fire attack on a group of enemies.

Active Skill ② - [Bronze Shield Generation (Unlocked)]

"A bronze shield forms in front of oneself to block attacks."

Passive Skill - [Earth Affinity]

"While standing on the ground, it continuously undergoes self-repair."

In the game, bronze cards have a maximum of two skills, silver cards have a maximum of three, and so on.

It's equivalent to one star for one skill.

The ability to generate a copper shield is one of the reasons why Zhou Chen is so optimistic about it.

Unfortunately, it requires three stars to unlock successfully, and to reach three stars, Zhou Chen must become a beginner card master and then use fodder to upgrade it.

Fortunately, even without this skill, the Copper Colossus is tough enough to handle the monkey dungeon with its predominantly physical attacks.

Zhou Chen looked up at it and said, "Protect me!"

"Buzz!"

The bronze colossus crouched down, its enormous hands outstretched to block him.

Although it relies on voice control, it can perform the corresponding operations accurately as long as the details are detailed enough.

Zhou Chen was already very satisfied.

I would be even more satisfied if it could change size at will.

Why is it that Captain Changming can conceal the golden light during battle, while the Copper Giant cannot hide its own abilities?

It's probably because of insufficient rank.

The Gold Card is truly for the elite... no, for the highest-ranking card.

Zhou Chen played for a while longer, and when it was almost 10:30, he took a deep breath.

"Time to run a dungeon!"

He removed the Long-Horned Captain from the formation and then re-added him, and the Chicken Brother, who was in the courtyard of his house, immediately moved to his side.

Captain Changming seemed somewhat confused, "Hehe?"

"Brother Chicken! Time for a dungeon run! Today we're going to take on a big one!"

Zhou Chen said confidently, "Let's attempt the intermediate dungeon!"

"Giggle!"

The Commandant of the Long Cry shouted loudly, showing great respect.

This made Zhou Chen exclaim, "Brother Chicken, you're so kind! I'll definitely become an intermediate card master as soon as possible so you can become smarter!"

The Gold Card already fosters wisdom comparable to that of a human, and by the time the Platinum Card is obtained, speaking human language in certain special cases is not a major problem.

Event instance: "The Monkeys Howl in the Forest".

[Intermediate: Wild Monkeys]

Challenge Level: Two Stars

Instance activated!

As he pressed the enter button, he and the bronze giant statue beside him, along with the Long-cresting Captain, disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 21: Intermediate Dungeon (Please continue reading!!!)

The starting point for intermediate level is not in the forest.

Instead, it is located on the mountainside.

When Zhou Chen arrived, he was completely unable to distinguish east from west and north from south, and looked around at his surroundings blankly.

"Which direction will the monster come from?"

He looked down at the game panel, thought for a moment, and decided not to use the summoning device to summon the White Ape.

The main purpose tonight is to test whether the Copper Giant can fulfill its guard duties; adding another White Ape would inevitably cause chaos.

Just like in the beginner dungeon, Zhou Chen doesn't need to go looking for monsters; they will come to him on their own.

What appeared on the screen were six muscular, giant monkeys with thick, long faces that looked like they were painted with multicolored camouflage.

In reality, he also heard demonstrative screams coming from in front of him.

The panel thoughtfully provides a name—

【Name: Mandrill】

[Rank: Two Stars]

Not only has the grade been upgraded, but the variety has also changed?

Just as Zhou Chen was about to give orders to Captain Changming, he saw the latter transform into a golden light that leaped across the ground and rushed towards the direction from which the strange cry came.

"Hey!"

Only the short crowing of roosters remained in the air.

He was stunned for a moment, and the continuous strange cries in the distance suddenly stopped. Before he could even see the enemy's true appearance, they had all become chickens and their souls.

Something is wrong!

Chicken Bro, something's not right!

Zhou Chen hurriedly ran towards the direction of the Longming Commandant, and made the bronze giant follow him.

When he arrived at the "battlefield," the evil mountain demons were indeed dead, and they were neatly stacked in a row.

Captain Changming tilted his head to look at him, as if asking if this would be alright.

"Brother Chicken, you're... awesome."

Zhou Chen could easily see that this was a sign of Captain Changming's growing intelligence, and that he was gradually emerging from his mentally challenged state.

What surprised him even more was that Chicken Bro, who was also a two-star character, could kill them so quickly.

If he had known this would happen, perhaps he should have—

No.

If he weren't able to summon the Copper Golem, he, being cowardly and afraid of death, would never have considered intermediate dungeons.

Looking at the corpses, Zhou Chen quickly completed the settlement.

His expression also brightened up.

All I can say is that the intermediate dungeon lives up to its name. It gives a lot of basic experience, the fodder increases in size, and it even gives you two diamonds!

"Whoosh! Order a large one!"

Zhou Chen smiled brightly, eagerly anticipating the next wave of evil mandrills.

This time, the corpse wasn't wasted. He took out a blank card from his pocket and began making cards.

The process is not difficult; simply place a blank card on the card-summoning device and then touch the monster's corpse with your hand.

The light flowed across the surface of the card-calling device, and the corpse seemed to be sucked into his body, spreading along his palm, the card-calling device, and all the way into the blank card.

Strange patterns inexplicably appeared on the card, as if drawn by an invisible paintbrush.

A few seconds later, the blank card suddenly shook, its patterns became a jumbled mess, and it was completely burned.

"hiss!"

Zhou Chen's expression didn't change much.

It was just a simple card-making failure.

An intact corpse does not guarantee that it can be made into a card; luck also plays a role.

Seconds later, another corpse vanished, replaced by a brand new bronze card—

One-star card with ink painting style: [Evil Mountain Demon].

Although this monster is a two-star monster, its level was completely reset to zero after the card was created.

However, this thing's base stats are much higher than those of the Black Armadillo and the Slingering Monkey, so the price probably won't be low either. Considering the premium for the humanoid form, it should sell for at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per piece.

Forty thousand is fine too.

Thirty thousand... thirty thousand is too low, the Yamaguchi has such high attack power! It's humanoid!

It's nowhere near as good as the dripping bubble or the black spore monster.

Zhou Chen was happily dreaming of getting rich when he sensed the enemy's approach and immediately pounced, his golden light flashing as fast as lightning.

Apart from the change in the surrounding environment, it seems to be no different from the experience of the beginner level?

The rewards are even better!

The second wave of monsters consisted of four Evil Mountain Demons and three Enchantress Mountain Demons, all of which were two-star monsters.

The two types of mandrills look almost identical, with the one with the "evil" radical being more muscular and the one with the "charm" radical being more slender.

So what exactly is its charm?

Looking at the colorful butt hair of the demonic mountain demon, Zhou Chen wondered if the demon was here.

That's outrageous! That's outrageous!

After being made into a card, the data of the Enchanted Mountain Demon was indeed the same as its appearance: it was faster than the Evil Mountain Demon, its attack was slightly lower, and there were also subtle differences in its active skills.

Would anyone like this monkey with a flowery butt?

Zhou Chen didn't know, but he figured he'd just take a shot anyway. Blank cards weren't expensive, and he could buy a lot of them if he could sell just one.

"Keep going! God bless me! Fortune protects me!"

Fifteen minutes later.

“...to fill in the gaps, to fill in the gaps.”

Zhou Chen drank water, panting heavily.

Why do intermediate-level dungeons consume so much stamina?

He could last at least half an hour in a beginner dungeon before he was out of breath, but only twenty minutes had passed.

Damn it! The game panel tricked us!

He had the bronze statue support him, and then consumed energy-restoring supplements, trying his best to prolong the time spent in the dungeon.

Another fifteen minutes passed.

Zhou Chen was so exhausted that he clung to the warm metal shell of the bronze colossus. "This is too much... This setting that drastically increases consumption... It's utterly shameless..."

The increased cost of entering a dungeon in the game was only slightly higher, but it dealt him a heavy blow!

Fortunately, the experience so far has been quite rewarding. Not only have the experience and diamonds increased significantly, but so have the materials and fodder. Overall, in terms of cost-effectiveness, intermediate dungeons are more profitable than beginner dungeons.

The only uncertainty is whether the drop rate of special items has increased accordingly.

"The drop rate is opaque; it's simply a bad practice."

He muttered to himself, considering that he needed to save his energy to go home, and reluctantly ended the first day of the intermediate level experience.

In the blink of an eye, the man, the chicken, and the puppet disappeared into the lush green mountainside.

-

The real world.

Zhou Chen disbanded the Copper Giant formation, thinking that with Captain Changming's excellent combat ability, there was no need to use it in intermediate dungeons.

This way, you won't have to go through the trouble of going to the wilderness to farm intermediate dungeons in the future.

This is good news.
