My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 5 Let Me Solo

That huge display screen is the [Information Panel], which dynamically displays task information; it appears in almost every instance.

Zhou Nan glanced at it briefly and then ignored it.

He continued moving bricks.

A moment later, the area announcement sounded again: "All attacking murlocs have been eliminated. You have gained 5 minutes and 26 seconds of rest time. In 5 minutes and 26 seconds, the second wave of murlocs will launch an attack!"

Each wave of Murloc attacks will clear out all the small Murlocs within three minutes. If you clear the monsters efficiently enough, you can kill all the small Murlocs before the next wave attacks and get some rest time.

In the past, when Zhou Nan teamed up with others, some players would take advantage of their rest time to go to the woods north of the village to hunt for treasure.

Meanwhile, Zhou Nan was in a great hurry; he had already collected 64 bricks at the east end of the village.

A moment later, when the second wave of murlocs was also wiped out, Zhou Nan had already moved 146 bricks!

At this point, the situation was still relatively stable, and no small fishmen had yet rushed to the village entrance.

"Regional Announcement: The third wave of murloc attacks is about to begin! [Murloc Warrior - Carp Jason] is about to make his appearance. Please prepare for battle!"

"We've reached the boss stage. I wonder which lane the giant carp will spawn on. Hopefully, the three heroes can hold out!"

Zhou Nan looked up at the [Information Panel]. 23 minutes of game time had passed, with less than 80 minutes remaining. There were a total of 15603 monsters, of which 900 had already been eliminated. The defensive pressure would increase dramatically from now on!

[Come at will] Kill 300 enemies!

[I choose Li Bai] 298 kills!

[Global Hidden Billionaires] Kill the Enemy 2!

Zhou Nan has 0 kills!

The remaining 300 monsters were killed by village guards Martin and Marco...

At this moment, at the monster exit on the west side, in the teleportation array that looked like a ball of light, the little fishman charged out, holding his small cleaver high.

These little fish-men were less than a meter tall and looked rather comical, like big fish with thin arms and legs. They waddled as they walked, holding small, paper-thin knives in their hands, making babbling noises as they attacked a giant turtle as tall as a person.

That giant turtle is called [Rock Giant Turtle - Rockcrawler], a one-star white card summon with 5000 HP. It's clearly a tank, and it was being attacked by a group of small fishmen.

Those little fishmen were like sharpening blades on a turtle shell; their attack power was too low, and they could not break through the defenses most of the time, only occasionally managing to deal a little damage.

The giant tortoise held on fairly steadily, and its attack power was not bad either; it could kill a small fishman in one bite. However, its attack speed was too slow, taking several seconds to bite once.

It is the card summon of "I choose Li Bai".

Suddenly, a giant merman about two meters tall appeared. This merman had long whiskers, held a large cleaver, had huge eyes, and had the name "[Murman Warrior - Carp Jason]" written on its head.

"Holy crap, how did that giant carp spawn on my side? This is so unlucky! Looks like I'll have to use my spare cards!"

Thirty meters away, [I'll choose Li Bai] muttered something, then took out four white one-star cards from his storage backpack and threw them all on the ground.

Bang bang bang bang! The four white cards transformed into summoned beasts, all of them toads as tall as a person, like quadruplets, with bright green skin.

Although these four toads have different names, they belong to the same category, namely the [Long-tongued Frog], with 500 health points and an attack power of 5-6!

"Ugh, they're all long-tongued frogs, and each one only has 500 health points? What's the point? If we get surrounded by little fishmen, we're doomed!"

"[The world's hidden billionaire]" said with a frown.

"You doubt my abilities? What do you know, a level one newbie? Get your health up!"

[I Choose Li Bai] glanced at [Global Invisible Tycoon] with annoyance. This girl is so clueless. She won't let me touch her or hug her. What's the point of me taking her along?

"My summoned beast can't heal! My summoned beast is a melee assassin, as I said from the beginning..."

[Global Hidden Billionaire] said that her card is a one-star white card [Small Hydralisk with Gap Tooth]. The summoned small hydralis stands next to her and looks like a rooster covered in scales. It only has 1000 health points!

"Then...can you heal me?"

[I Choose Li Bai] suddenly grinned lecherously, eyeing [Global Invisible Tycoon]'s chest with ill intent. "If you don't have breasts, I'm not taking you with me. I mean it!"

"Oh, I never knew you were this kind of person!"

[Global Hidden Billionaire] She stomped her foot, afraid of being taken advantage of, and directly withdrew from the team.

At that moment, an announcement rang out: "Player [Global Hidden Tycoon] has logged out of the current game!"

"Why did one of them run away?"

Zhou Nan, who was working hard as a bricklayer, heard the regional announcement and immediately sensed something was wrong.

In the west of the village, [I'll Choose Li Bai] was also stunned for a moment, then shouted unhappily, "Damn it, if you can't handle it, don't play! You're wasting my time. I hate newbies the most, they're so pretentious!"

At this moment, a small fishman rushed up to him.

[I Choose Li Bai] If he hadn't released the Long-tongued Frog, it would have been fine. The Murlocs have a hate value setting, so they would keep surrounding the Rock Turtle. When the inner circle died, the outer circle would fill in. But when [I Choose Li Bai] released the Long-tongued Frog, some Murlocs who were waiting in line to sharpen their blades transferred their hate to the Long-tongued Frog and charged at it with their blades.

Long-tongued frogs aren't as resilient as rock turtles. A single strike from a small fishman can at least inflict some damage. In the blink of an eye, dozens of small fishmen surrounded the four long-tongued frogs, launching a swarm attack that drew blood with every strike.

"-1", "-1", "-2", "-1"...

In just a short while, the four long-tongued frogs lost almost half of their health bars.

[I'll choose Li Bai] Panic! If the summoned beast dies, its summoning card cannot be used for 24 hours.

At this moment, [Fishman Warrior - Big Carp] also launched an attack on the Rock Turtle, and each strike dealt more than ten points of damage.

[I'll choose Li Bai] I took a look and realized that this wouldn't work. There was no fighter left. My summoned beasts were just being used as punching bags, steadily losing health. Wasn't that just waiting to die?

He glanced at the information panel and felt even more frustrated.

That guy nicknamed "Black Card Emperor" doesn't even have a single kill count now!

"This guy's slacking off way too much! He's screwed me over! How am I supposed to play like this? It's the third wave already, and I haven't gotten a single kill. Even a god couldn't carry this idiot!"

[I'll choose Li Bai] So I collected the card, and without saying a word, I left the team, which meant I quit the game.

"Regional Announcement: Player 'I'll Choose Li Bai' has logged out of the current game, leaving the message: 'You damn black card emperor, you're wasting my time, just quit!'"

Upon hearing this regional announcement, Zhou Nan felt like spitting out blood.

"Damn it, you quit on your own, why are you criticizing me? What did I ever do to you?"

Zhou Nan thought to himself that a team of casual newbies just wouldn't work; the "veterans" were too casual.

"Fortunately, there's still a powerful figure here. Hang in there, I'll carry you through!"

As Zhou Nan was muttering to himself, another area announcement suddenly rang out: "Player [Suibianlai] has been defeated!"

"The formation... is wiped out! Who are these gods?! Weren't they supposed to guarantee no monsters would slip through?!"

Zhou Nan felt convinced.

In this dungeon quest, the player's aggro level is extremely low. The murlocs will only attack the player if there are no summoned beasts or NPCs around. If the player is killed, it is equivalent to being prematurely kicked out of the game.

Moreover, players can run away, so dying is not a common occurrence.

"I've been working on this for almost half an hour, and this happens! Everyone's run away, leaving me all alone in this dungeon? Am I supposed to solo it?"

Zhou Nan rolled up his sleeves. He had already moved 176 bricks. Before the murloc monsters rushed into the village, it was still very likely that he would complete the brick-moving task. Then, he could have Panda Panda guard the main gate, and maybe he could even play a solo run.

"I've been working so hard for so long, it's really hard to give up now."
