Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Nan received a system notification.

[Ding, your friend Dali Let Me Out of a Miracle invited you into the Bronze Arena dungeon room 399, do you agree?]

“Yes!”

A window popped up in front of Zhou Nan.

…

Zhou Nan looked at the information in the room and frowned slightly. There were actually two spectating players.

“What’s going on? Is this a way to study me?”

Spectating players could watch the battle scene through the mission hall’s display screen and use the small map to freely switch views. If it was a relatively famous player playing in the arena, there would definitely be a lot of spectating players. However, the two spectating players in the room were obviously invited by Dali.

“Hurry up and choose your temple, place your bets on gold coins!” Dali urged.

Zhou Nan did not reply, silently placing a gold coin. As for the temple faction, he chose Temple of Tranquility from the four options.

The Square Temples had their own characteristics.

Among them, Temple of Glory had powerful magical weapons and magical technology. They could develop healing skills, speed-slowing skills, transmutation skills, bloodthirsty skills, and so on, however, its soldiers were generally more fragile. They were equipped with cloth armor and their movement speed was slow. They were good at fighting battles of attrition and positional warfare.

Temple of Valor had powerful physical weapons and cold weapons technology. It could study iron sword skills, steel armor skills, armor-piercing skills, and so on. Its soldiers were all melee physical weapons. They had high health, high defense, and high speed. Their explosive power was very strong.

Temple of Curse had all kinds of undead weapons and curse technology. It could study the resurrection of the dead, the spread of plague, corrosion, and other technologies. Its movement speed was slow, and its physical output was very weak, but its endurance was very strong.

Ttemple of Tranquility had long-range physical weapons and long-range technology. It had Gale Halo, shooting talent, and other technologies that increased attack speed and long-range attack power. Its long-range attack power was very strong, however, their bodies were also relatively fragile, so they were weak in close combat.

The Square Temples actually had a certain degree of restraint. The Temple of Glory restrained the Temple of Valor, the Temple of valor restrained the Temple of Curse, and the Temple of Curse restrained the Temple of Tranquility, and the Temple of Tranquility restrained the Temple of Glory.

Zhou Nan had chosen the Temple of Tranquility because of its long-range technology. The technology’s effects could affect his cards. The Cannon Follower and Heroic Bear sentry tower could also be buffed.

“You’re betting 1 gold coin? Do you dare to bet more?!” Dali shouted resentfully.

Zhou Nan silently bet another gold coin.

“You little trash, are you deliberately trying to annoy me? I bet 200 gold coins, and you bet 100 gold coins. Are you going to accept it?”

“Yes!”

Zhou Nan thought that this girl was really confident, or was she stupid? She bet 200 gold coins and asked him to bet 100 gold coins. She was obviously at a disadvantage, and she was still doing it. Was she afraid that he would run away?

Little did he know that Dali was on the phone with her friend.

“Master, he chose the Temple of Tranquility. What should I do?”

“I see, then you change to the Temple of Curse!”

“Temple of Curse?”

“Yes, the Temple of Curse can restrain the Temple of Tranquility in the early stage. Remember, after you enter the game, you don’t care about anything. First, you fight the small monsters at the entrance. After that, you go to the barracks of the base and ring the war drums. This way, the small soldiers that spawn from the barracks will follow you. You take them along the circular road outside the camp and farm the wild in a clockwise direction. When you hear the regional announcement, go steal the monsters. If you find the base of the other party, immediately lead your troops to kill it. If the other party is a newbie, they shouldn’t be able to withstand it!”

“Alright Master, then I’ll start the game. If I earn gold coins, I’ll give them all to you!”

“Do I still need this little bit of gold coins from you? Start the game. I’ll treat it as leisure, and I’ll watch you play one round!”

“Master, do you have any more powerful tips? Why don’t you tell me more? After entering the map, we won’t be able to talk.”

“If I tell you too many tips, you won’t be able to remember them. In the future, when you play more, you’ll slowly gain experience! This round, you’ll do as I say. There won’t be much of a problem.”

“Alright, then I’ll start!”

Dali was very confident because she had acknowledged a master yesterday. Her master was a level 18 great expert with the nickname ‘Blood Sea Grand Sage’. He could fight against the big boss of the Silver Arena!

In the last round of the Unlimited Firepower arena, she had been holding back a bellyful of anger. After being killed by Zhou Nan and exiting the map, she had contacted her master. She had not expected that her master would be so free, so she had asked him to help her vent her anger.

Although the Grand Sage did not personally participate in the battle, he had given her some ideas. She felt that with his guidance, she would definitely be able to kill the little piece of trash, Black Card Emperor.

Moreover, her master was watching the battle. Even if she was defeated this time, how could he not stand up for her?

“Watch me beat this little piece of trash until he cries!”

Dali started the game full of anticipation.

Following that, Zhou Nan was teleported to the dungeon map.

In front of him, there was a huge tree that was shimmering. Its name was Ancient Tree of Tranquility. Its durability was 100,000. Once its durability was emptied, it would be equivalent to a faction being wiped out, and Zhou Nan would also lose.

Zhou nan had some understanding of how to play the Square Temple map. At this moment, he quickly threw out his cards.

Bang, bang, bang, bang…

Panda, 4 Heroic Bears, Cannon Follower, 20 Little Murlocs, Saber-toothed Tiger, 2 Mud Slimes, and 7 Field Black Bears appeared.

Actually, Zhou Nan still had the Long Tongue Frog card on him, but he was too lazy to summon it.

“Soldiers, listen up, follow me!”

Zhou Nan shouted and led the summoned units out of the base.

The first mission of the Square Temple was to clear out the small monsters at the entrance. Only then would a level 1 barracks appear in the temple base. With this barracks, players would be able to spawn their own small soldiers.

Although Zhou Nan had not cleared the Square Temple for a long time, he was familiar with the terrain. He led the summoned units straight to the small monster stronghold. Among the small monsters, there were only three Field Black Bears.

“I have seven Field Black Bear on my side, and you have only three? General Panda, Cannon Follower Landon, crush them for me!”

As soon as Zhou Nan gave the order, Panda pounced forward with a howl. Cannon Follower Landon immediately grabbed a Little Murloc and threw it into his cannon barrel. Then, he fired.

At this moment, there was a fat-headed, big-eared player watching the battle. He was Dali’s new master, Blood Sea Grand Sage.

The screen in front of Grand Sage displayed the scene of Zhou Nan leading a group of summoned units to kill the Field Black Bears. He was slightly stunned, he muttered to himself, “Eh, this person has a pet following him. From his stance, he doesn’t look like a newbie. He’s quite skilled and has so many cards! It’s over. I’ve been tricked.. This guy is pretending to be a newbie!”
