Chapter 29 Promotion to 4 Stars

Capricorn Rat has 10,000 HP, high physical attack, and skills. If a three-star cannon fodder were to face it head-on, the three-star cannon fodder would be completely crushed. But now that Spiked Dragon Turtle is blocking the entrance to the high ground, Capricorn Rat, with its limited intelligence, is just squeaking around behind Spiked Dragon Turtle and can only take the beating.

After 200 seconds, the Capricorn rat did a backflip, landed belly up, and was killed.

"Regional Announcement: Capricorn Rat has been slain; the Silent Temple now unlocks its second troop type, the Blade Warrior!"

"Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Capricorn Rat! You have obtained one Capricorn Rat card!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhou Nan chuckled and said, "As expected, there's a 'good start' setting! It gave me a card. The chance of getting good items from the first monster kill is really high."

He quickly opened his storage backpack and pulled out a green card. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a Capricorn Rat card.

"This is the famous melee mage, Capricorn Rat! Worth 30 Arena Points!"

Zhou Nan felt he was really lucky. He threw out the card in his hand, and with a bang, a Capricorn rat with flaming horns appeared in front of him in a flash of sparks.

Capricorn Rat is a card summon that is as famous as Night Owl Card. It has a small chance of dropping when you defeat Capricorn Rat in the [Temple of the Four Directions] dungeon, and it can also be exchanged for with Arena Points in the Bronze Arena Shop. It is relatively easy to obtain, so it is considered a very common green card summon.

The Bronze Arena Shop also offers 11 types of green cards for exchange, all of which are cards unlocked from monsters in the [Temple of the Four Directions] dungeon. This includes the Electric Slime mentioned in the previous area announcement, for which there are also corresponding cards available for exchange.

Capricorn Rat has a strong offensive capability, wielding its claws for melee attacks, but it also possesses a magic skill. Among green card summons, it is relatively fragile, hence the nickname "melee mage".

Its star-up material is Burning Gem, which can be used to strengthen Capricorn Rat to six stars. As a result, Burning Gem has become a hot commodity. When Zhou Nan resold Wildcat cards, a single Burning Gem could sell for more than 800 gold coins in the trading market. The price is probably even higher now.

"Melee mages are great, but unfortunately, I can't afford to raise them."

Zhou Nan has decided to use this Capricorn Rat card to synthesize a black card. Of course, the Capricorn is still very powerful for him right now, so he can use it.

The Capricorn Rat stood there blankly for a moment, then quickly ran up to the Spiky Dragon Turtle blocking its way. Of course, it didn't dare to get close and fight the Spiky Dragon Turtle, but instead kept a distance of three meters and spat fireballs at it.

Spiked Dragon Turtle has strong physical defense, but seems to have no magic resistance. Capricorn Rat can easily set it ablaze with a small fireball, turning it into a giant fire turtle with 30 burning damage per second, which can offset its natural health regeneration.

At this moment, the spectator, [Blood Sea Great Sage], rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Hey, this move is worth learning from..."

[The Ultimate Scoundrel] couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Master, Master, what's going on? How come he also fought an unlocking monster?"

[Blood Sea Great Sage] said, "It's alright, he just got lucky. He was just blindly lucky. His fighting style is purely based on luck and is not worth learning from."

"Oh! So, who has the advantage now, Dali or this little piece of trash?"

"Hmm... the Black Card Emperor has the advantage; Dali is too unfamiliar with the terrain!"

At this point, [Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle] had just found the Electric Slime.

In the Infinite Power mode, the difficulty of the Temple of the Four Directions is actually greatly reduced. [Mighty Makes Me a Miracle] quickly defeated the Electric Slime, which even dropped a Gold Coin Chest, making [Mighty Makes Me a Miracle] extremely happy.

Soon, another regional announcement sounded, this time that the third unlocked monster, the [Gale Twin-Headed Wolf], had spawned. [Dali Let Me Create a Miracle] quickly led his troops to search for it again.

Since the spawn point for the [Gale Twin-Headed Wolf] wasn't number eight, Zhou Nan didn't care. He leisurely farmed the Watchtower, watching the Cannon Master's star-up progress increase.

Not long after, when the fourth unlocked monster, the Rocket Raccoon, was spawned, the three-star Cannonman flashed with golden light and was promoted to four stars.

The four-star Cannon Master has a full 20,000 HP, and the power of the Murloc Cannonball is increased to four times the HP of the Murloc. As a result, when the four-star Cannon Master uses the six-star Murloc as a cannonball, its attack power is 720, which can deal 432 damage to the Spiked Turtle.

A four-star artilleryman can continue to upgrade to five stars by firing 400 more shots!

"Fire! Fire! Keep firing!"

Zhou Nan was full of anticipation. The four-star artilleryman's damage per second had already reached 72 points, surpassing the Heroic Watchtower. If it were upgraded a few more stars, it would truly become a cannon.

Next, Zhou Nan simply stayed on the high ground, as if he were AFK. He used the watchtower to monitor [Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle]. Seeing that [Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle] was only farming in the jungle and his efficiency was extremely poor, he stayed on the high ground peacefully.

【Blood Sea Great Sage】 and 【Strongest Scoundrel】can't withstand it, so what's the point of watching?

[Blood Sea Great Sage] said, "Now Dali has the advantage. That Black Card Emperor still doesn't know how to play. He will definitely lose. There's no point in watching anymore. It's just a waste of time."

[The Strongest Scoundrel] said, "How about you take me to play a match of the Four Directions Temple, Master? Let me get familiar with it."

"Alright, then let's quit spectating!"

"good!"

Just as these two finished watching, the fifth unlocked monster spawned.

"Regional Announcement: Please note that a Starry Sky Stray Cat has appeared at coordinates [966; 433]. Defeating the Starry Sky Stray Cat will unlock one random temple technology and guarantee a card reward (card reward is limited to the first kill)."

"This is respawn point number nine!"

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Defeating the [Starry Sky Stray Cat] guarantees a card, but it's different from the [Capricorn Rat]. The latter has a small chance of yielding a green-quality Capricorn Rat card, while the former guarantees a Meteor Cat card. The Meteor Cat card is also a green card, but its stats are slightly worse than the Capricorn Rat!

"Respawn point number nine is the closest to the base, should I go and steal it? What would I get if I combined Meteor Cat and Capricorn Rat?"
