The two continued walking up the stairs, and unknowingly had bypassed a series of winding steps.
After listening to Hyperion's words, Lanqi fell into deep thought.
Now he has credit card loans because of his great love for the poet.
Although this card is worth it no matter how much it costs for him.
But Lanqi did not forget that his original purpose of coming to the capital was to get rich as soon as possible.
If he could become a little stronger and accumulate some connections, then no matter who the potential enemy is that threatens his Wilford Chamber of Commerce, Lanqi would not be afraid.
The judge will judge everything with the invincible law.
If one wants to gain the favor of powerful forces and strong people, besides becoming a famous card maker, achieving outstanding achievements in challenging the shadow world is also a way.
At present, if he wants to make money quickly in a short period of time just by making cards, he will probably die of exhaustion in the card-making workshop.
As for selling paintings... Lanqi was not sure whether selling his paintings in large quantities before he became strong enough would cause any unforeseen troubles.
If his paintings are too valuable and he is weak and powerless, it might be a scary thing and he might be targeted by some bad guys.
Therefore, unless he is really short of money, he will not consider selling his paintings easily, and even if he does, he will not sell them under his real name.
It seems so.
While studying card making, improving your rank as much as possible to become a high-level card maker is the long-term strategy for making a fortune.
Although high-intensity card-making practice can slowly train one's mental strength and thus promote a breakthrough in rank, it is indeed too slow.
If you want to improve your rank the fastest, the method is also to challenge the Shadow World—
After successfully passing the real shadow world, you can get the corresponding rank enhancement effect!
Therefore, many card makers will choose to become "battlefield card makers" to upgrade in the mixed shadow world.
This is an auxiliary combat profession transformed from a manufacturing profession.
Since the challenger will gain a new identity and situation in the shadow world, he cannot carry any props, potions, etc. when entering or leaving the shadow world. He can only carry back and forth magic cards that are bound to his soul and stored in the soul space.
The battlefield card maker will bring a portable card-making tool kit in the form of an equipment card into the shadow world, and then he can create targeted magic cards for teammates in real time in the shadow world according to the situation!
Even with this kind of assistance in the team, some materials that were originally unable to be taken away from the shadow world can be brought back to the real world through the method of "making them into magic cards and then soul binding", thereby increasing the team's clearance rewards.
Therefore, in many cases, even if a combat profession like battlefield card maker is indeed a slacker, there are many strong teams willing to bring a tool person who can improve the rewards of the entire team.
Of course, Lanqi also has certain potential to be a battlefield card maker.
However, with his current unstable card-making skills, he is far from being qualified to be a battlefield card maker.
All I can say is that having many skills is always a plus.
When Lanqi fell silent, Hyperion spoke again:
"If there are candidates who achieve exceptionally good results in the annual entrance exam, they may be exempted from the registered challenger qualification exam. If nothing goes wrong, you will receive a notification after school starts, and then you can challenge the real shadow world after completing the formalities."
The structure of the entrance examination itself is similar to the formal registration examination.
If students can pass the exam with an absolutely high score, Ikrit College, as the certification partner of the association, will also apply to the college for examination exemption for the students.
Other freshmen will have to spend a lot of time taking the registered challenger exam of the South Continent Shadow World Management Association before they can challenge the real shadow world for the first time.
Hyperion was very sure that with Lanci's performance, there was no reason why he could not get immunity.
As for teammates... Lanqi doesn't have to worry. There should be many senior students and teams from various departments who will take the initiative to contact Lanqi.
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Hyperion."
Upon hearing this, Lanqi hurriedly thanked him.
As expected of a great noble in the capital.
She also knew a lot of things that were not written in the admission details.
"It's just a small matter."
Hyperion just looked ahead at the steps and nodded slightly.
Hyperion's reminder just now made Lanqi feel much happier.
Since it is possible that you don’t have to go to the South Continent Shadow World Management Association to take the registration exam, if everything goes well, you can directly become an Iron-level registered challenger by completing the formalities yourself.
According to what Lanqi had heard previously in his hometown of South Wantina Border Territory, there are a total of seven levels of challengers recognized by the South Continent Association. After each level passed by a registered challenger, the association will give a record or promotion based on the degree of contribution. The higher the level reached, the higher the corresponding benefits, authority and status will be.
Starting from the lowest Iron level, followed by Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Magic Crystal, and Hero levels.
Putting aside the iron and bronze levels of novices, people who can reach the third level, silver level, are already quite experienced veterans of the Shadow World, and are the backbone of this world's attack on the Shadow World.
If you reach the fourth level, gold level, you will have a prominent social status no matter where you are!
Starting from the Platinum level, even if you go to other continents, you will be recognized by relevant associations with different systems. You will be a super powerful person with a true world reputation.
After two practice entrance exams, Lanqi found that he seemed to have some good potential to challenge the shadow world.
He can't wait to start his career as a challenger.
"Do you know what level the students in this school can reach?"
Lanci asked curiously.
"If a student of Ikerit can reach the gold level, he is already very impressive. As for the platinum level... only the fourth grade and the part-time students can reach it."
Hyperion thought about it and replied with some difficulty:
"People like that don't need to stay in the academy anymore. They can leave at any time."
If she could reach this level, even without her father's protection and the status of a duke, she would not be afraid of those who wanted to harm her.
Unfortunately, she didn't think that with her talent, she could reach that level like those monsters at the top of the academy.
"Timed?"
Lanci turned his head to look at Hyperion in confusion.
He understood the fourth grade, but he didn't know that this college also had "part-time" students.
"Generally speaking, students can apply for graduation in their third year, and they will also be awarded a lot of challenger points, or be recommended to work in major associations."
"Every year, some extremely outstanding students choose to study for an additional academic year with senior professors in their favorite colleges. They may stay on campus for several years and are collectively called 'fourth-year students.'"
"'Part-time' refers to a small number of challengers who already have extensive experience in the film world and study part-time at our school. We are equivalent to 'full-time' students."
Hyperion explained patiently to Lanqi.
Before they knew it, they had reached the last step of the long staircase while talking.
"So that's how it is, thank you for your answer!"
Lanqi smiled and thanked Hyperion for answering all her questions.
Just a few more steps forward.
What comes into view is a huge hollow glass curtain wall, through which you can fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of the entire campus, including flowers, trees, buildings and lawns. Everything is beautiful.
There was also a fork in the road on the suspended turntable of the stairs in front of us.
"See you at the beginning of the school term. I'm going to go meet a friend of mine over there."
Lanci stopped, pointed in the direction of the terrace, and said goodbye to Hyperion.
He was going to the terrace area connected to the first floor to find the demon master Talia who was waiting for him.
Compared to Talia, whose sentences never exceed ten words, Ranchi felt much more comfortable chatting with Hyperion. As expected, girls who are still unmarried after hundreds of years have some problems of their own.
"goodbye."
Hyperion nodded in response.
Thus, he crossed paths with Lanqi's shadow and went in two different directions.
…
Three days later, early morning.
The Cretan Empire south of the Kingdom of Hutton.
Since there are continuous mountains separating the two countries, even if one wants to transport a large amount of goods from the southern border of the Kingdom of Hutton to the northern border of the Krewe Empire, it would be more convenient to go around to the east and take the sea route by merchant ship.
Many of the northern cities of the Kremer Empire are built on mountains. Towering buildings coexist with the undulating terrain, and you can even see classical buildings surrounded by blue sky and white clouds.
The city of Glen Waverley, the main city of the northern border territory of the Cranbrook Empire, can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the north. It is backed by clouds-reaching mountains in the north and faces the sea in the east. The dock is bustling with people all year round.
This upper pillar of the city of Glen Waverley on the northern border is built in the air between several intersecting peaks. Most of the buildings are in dark gray or beige classical style. The climate is warm and bright, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and deep music, the streets are spacious and clean, and there are merchants, knights, and priests in gorgeous clothes everywhere.
At this time, in this city-state, on the fourth floor of a building called "Wilford Chamber of Commerce", in a room with a nameplate of the chairman's office inlaid on the door.
A middle-aged man sat in a comfortable chair behind the desk. He put on his glasses and began to flip through the Hutton Times from two days ago.
He is the chairman of the Wilford Chamber of Commerce and Lanqi's father - Noe Wilford.
Since the Wilford Chamber of Commerce is an important channel for trade between the two countries, it is not difficult to buy newspapers distributed throughout the Kingdom of Hutton. It is just that sometimes there may be a delay of two or three days, and it is not surprising that there is a delay of seven or eight days if there is no merchant ship circulation.
"Let me see what's the latest news."
Noe was browsing the Hutton Kingdom newspaper he had just received.
He didn't read it every day. Sometimes, when he was done with work and had some free time, he would get the latest Hutton newspaper from his employees and read the news.
A teenager in the Holy Teaching Research Society was kicked out of the team by his peers, so he turned into a love saint in anger and took down all his peers' mothers. When his peers were remorseful and ready to line up to admit their mistakes, he chose to send their mothers to prison on the grounds that he was a minor.
A man in the South Wantina border area became resentful of his boss because of overtime work. At the same time, he learned that his boss was allergic to the healing potion, so he beat his boss with his hands covered with the healing potion. In the end, he did not cause the boss to be allergic, but caused serious injuries to the boss. After a month of detention, the man took the potion manufacturer to court after he was released from prison, on the grounds that it produced counterfeit and inferior healing potions. At present, the man has received 650 pounds in compensation from the manufacturer.
Noe turned the pages and shook his head with his lips almost unable to hold back the tension.
The Kingdom of Hutton is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
Sometimes, laws are often amended because there were no such laws or regulations before and they need to be added based on new and bizarre criminal situations.
In some cases, The Hutton Times is even better than the average joke collection.
In this way, Noe flipped through the newspaper and enjoyed his rare leisure time.
The walls of the chairman's office are hung with exquisite oil paintings and embroidery, the floor is covered with soft carpets, and the beautiful view of the sea of clouds can be seen outside the window, making Noe, who is taking a break from his busy schedule, feel very comfortable.
Soon, he found a report about the capital city of Ikerit.
During the annual entrance exam for the Ikrit School of Magic - Sages, a serious accident occurred...
Examiner Viscount Firat Shavenson is out of danger after rescue efforts.
It can be seen that the artificial shadow world still needs many safety improvements.
"I don't know what kind of unlucky student could have seriously injured the examiner. Whoever raised such a thing must have committed a sin."
Noe sighed with a gloating laugh.
There is something good about Lanqi's mediocrity. At least he won't cause such accidents.
Communication magic is expensive, and cross-border communication magic requires a license and multiple sites. Unless there is an emergency, Noe rarely contacts the home of Nanwantina in the Kingdom of Hutton.
Noe didn't have to ask whether Lanci passed the exam.
Naturally, he did very badly in the entrance exam to the Alchemy Academy and had to go back home.
Noe had already told the butler Hans that when Lanqi returned home in disgrace, he would cut off his financial supply and let this uneducated idiot suffer a lot!
Next time I go back to Nanwantina, I will see if Lanqi has grown even a little bit.
Keep reading, the news is not over yet.
During the exam, the artificial shadow world startup terminal also had a malfunction, which was suspected to be caused by abnormal operation of the examinee. According to an interview with Professor Bo Laao of the Ikrit Academy-Magic Engineering College, he said that the emergency repair has caused the Magic Engineering College to lose at least 8,000 pounds of the United Currency of the Southern Kingdom...
The picture surrounded by newspaper text showed a handsome old magician with gnashing teeth.
Even though he seemed to be holding back his anger in front of the camera, he couldn't hide the look in his eyes that wanted to stab someone.
…Our reporter Lou Vihill reports for you.
Finally, it ends here.
Noe shook his head and closed the newspaper.
"Oh, what a talent! He was able to break the test terminal. If the Magic Engineering Institute claims compensation, I'm afraid my family will suffer."
After reading today's Hutton joke, Noe just felt satisfied.
I hope there will be more explosive news next time.
