Material Kingdom, grade-2 main city, Silver City, Central Plaza.
Zhou Nan walked resolutely towards White Angel Larken.
White Angel Larken was a female four-winged angel. She was nearly 2.5 meters tall and had two pairs of snow-white wings on her back. She had a halo on her head and wore silver armor and a battle dress. She held a golden scepter in her hand and her posture was tall and straight. Her thighs were straight, long, and fair.
She was the guardian of this Silver City, and she was a quest NPC that did not have much intelligence.
“This pervert is here again!”
“He wants to hug the White Angel’s thigh again!”
“To be honest, I want to hug her thigh too… if I don’t die the moment I try to do so!”
“He’s a real warrior! At least he did what we wanted to do but did not dare to do, and more than once!”
“What an idiot…”
The surrounding players discussed among themselves.
Zhou Nan had a calm expression.
Ignorant mortals. What do you all know?!
I, Brother Nan, am about to succeed.
A smile appeared on his face as he walked up to the White Angel, Larken.
He opened his arms. “Big baby, it’s Brother Nan, I’m here again!”
After saying that, Zhou Nan hugged the White Angel’s thigh and pressed his cheek against it. He even used both hands to pinch the white angel’s buttocks.
“So soft!” he said happily.
Then, the next moment, lightning struck, and Zhou Nan’s vision went dark. He had been struck to death!
How could he hug the White Angel’s thigh just because he wanted to? He would have to pay the price!
[Ding, respected Card Warrior, you have been killed by the special NPC, Silver City Guardian, White Angel Larken. You have been judged as a special sanction. Your level has been reset to zero, and you have returned to your initial state!]
[Ding! You have been punished 369 times by White Angel Larken. Congratulations on completing the only hidden achievement, ‘Hugging Angel’s Thigh’. You have been rewarded with a Lucky Scroll!]
Zhou Nan’s eyes lit up. He looked around and saw that he had already returned to his secret camp.
“I have hugged the angel’s thigh 369 times, pinched her buttocks 369 times, and finally, I can get a Lucky Scroll. It is worth it!”
Zhou Nan’s face was full of joy. He opened his storage bag and took out a golden scroll. It was the Lucky Scroll.
[Lucky Scroll: Special item. After using it, a lucky event will be activated. It will help you change your class into a hidden class, or get a hidden card]
“369 deaths. It took 69 days, 4 hours, and 12 minutes. It’s all for you. Come on, come on, my heaven-defying fate change is happening today. I’m going to rise up!”
Zhou Nan quickly unfurled the scroll, and a golden light descended from the sky, landing on his head.
[Ding, you have used the Lucky Scroll successfully, you will be promoted to the only hidden class, ‘Black Card Emperor’!”
[Ding, this class has the talent, ‘Black Card Synthesis’, please check it yourself.”
After the system notification ended, the golden light dissipated from Zhou Nan’s body, and he hurriedly opened his attribute panel.

[Class skill: Has not yet been activated]
…
“Card synthesis does not require a secret recipe? Doesn’t this mean I’m about to take off and fly high above everyone else?! I have hugged the thigh of an angel 369 times, and today I have finally ascended the throne!”
Zhou Nan was very happy, feeling that he had put in more than two months’ worth of effort.
In this real-life card game world, players like them were all Card Warriors. Everything could be a card, and cards were their weapons.
There were five types of regular cards, which were white cards, green cards, blue cards, purple cards, and orange cards.
Among them, white cards were the worst cards, and they were the easiest to obtain.
Green cards were one level higher than white cards. They were much rarer, and their abilities were much stronger. Currently, most players might not even be able to gather a set of green cards.
Blue cards were even rarer. As long as players had one, they could walk out with their heads held high and act like a big shot.
Purple and orange cards were still legends. At least, Zhou Nan had never heard of any player owning one.
Besides regular cards, there were also special cards, such as red cards and black cards.
The color of the special cards did not represent the strength of the card. It only indicated that the card was special. It might be as rubbish as a white card, but it could also be as good as an orange card.
In short, special cards were rare nowadays. They would occasionally appear in the trading hall, and the prices were very high.
In addition, the card could be upgraded through ‘card strengthening’ and ‘card synthesis’.
Generally speaking, card strengthening was to upgrade the star level of a card, which would enhance its original ability, or activate its hidden ability. The lowest star level of a card was one star, and the highest was nine stars.
Meanwhile, card synthesis could change the color of the card, such as upgrading from a white card to a green card.
However, card strengthening and card synthesis required secret recipes!
Strengthening required the collection of strengthening materials according to the strengthening secret recipe, and synthesis also required the collection of synthesis cards according to the secret recipe.
Without the secret recipe, random strengthening or synthesis would not work, because once the strengthening or synthesis failed, the original card and materials would be destroyed.
Some synthesis recipes would be given in the attribute information of the card, while some required players to explore on their own. In short, synthesis recipes were very precious, and even if one had the recipe, one would still need to collect the relevant materials according to the recipe. Being time-consuming and laborious was an unavoidable part of card strengthening and synthesis.
Currently, the vast majority of players had difficulty raising the level of their cards through card synthesis. Most of them would use whatever cards they had identified. At most, they would raise the star level of their cards. If they wanted to become stronger, they would have to constantly change their cards.
As for Zhou Nan, as a Black Card Emperor, he had a class talent. He could forcefully synthesize without a secret recipe!
A regular Card Warrior did not have a class talent.
‘In order to complete this hidden achievement, I used 69 days. Now, the mainstream players should be above level 20. I need to catch up!’ Zhou Nan thought excitedly.
He had been in this world for more than half a year. He felt that he could finally defy the heavens and change his fate. He could walk out of the ordinary crowd.
After being punished by the White Angel, Zhou Nan was now in the initial state, which was equivalent to just starting the game. He could receive an initial card from the Goddess of Cards for free.
The Goddess of Cards was, to be precise, the statue of the Goddess of Cards. It was a building in the secret camp.
The secret camp was owned by every player, and other players were not allowed to enter. There were five initial buildings, which were the warehouse, the trading hall, the mission hall, the teleportation portal, and the statue of the Goddess of Cards.
In the future, as players leveled up, they could unlock more buildings and upgrade them.
Zhou Nan walked up to the statue of the Goddess of Cards with ease. He cupped his hands, and said, “Goddess, please give me a top-grade card.”
“As you wish!” The goddess of cards made a sound, and then a white light condensed in front of Zhou Nan, then, it turned into a card.
[Ding, congratulations on successfully obtaining your initial card!]
[Ding, you have obtained a one-star white card ‘Snowbear, Pan Bao’. The item has been bound and automatically stored in your storage bag. Please check for yourself..]
