The sunlight shines through the green leaves and hits the stone steps of the Sage Court Ancient Tower Library.
There were only a few early risers hurrying by on the road nearby in the morning light. A breeze blew by, bringing with it a mixed scent of flowers and ink.
"By the way, if I join the team, what kind of challenges will the Shadow World bring?"
Lanqi didn't seem to be in a hurry to agree to join any team, and continued to chat with Vivian naturally.
Since first-year students are not allowed to challenge the Shadow World alone, Ranch cannot participate in the match alone.
After entering the Gate of the Void, the Shadow World will automatically match the corresponding difficulty based on the comprehensive situation of the challenger's rank.
If the team is not fully staffed, it will often be matched with other challengers who enter from void gates around the world.
"There will be silver-level second and third-year students who will take you to challenge the Shadow World. I believe that with your understanding, you will soon be able to become familiar with and adapt to the actual combat in the Shadow World."
Vivian answered Lanqi's questions.
When they saw the library, an important landmark of the Sage House, they knew they had entered the area of the Sage House.
There are almost only gold-level registered challengers in the third grade, and their level will not be lower than the fifth level.
Putting aside the rationality, this kind of challenger cannot team up with a second-level Ranch according to the regulations.
The South Continent Shadow World Management Association stipulates that, considering the safety of all challengers, challengers with a rank difference of more than 2 are prohibited from forming teams to significantly increase the difficulty.
Therefore, even if he joins the team, he will at most be led and guided by a senior silver-level fourth-level student.
"Basically I just need to follow orders and play a supporting role, right?"
"The answer is yes."
"Please let me think about it again."
Lanqi's answer was very tactful.
But Vivian knew that he meant it as a rejection.
Often the rewards for completing the Shadow World will be related to the achievements made throughout the Shadow World, and also to the individual's final evaluation.
If you slack off and pass the Shadow World, the reward will not be much, and the challenger promotion points awarded by the Shadow World Management Association of the South Continent after the review will not be high.
But generally speaking, it would be a blessing for the newcomers to pass the test smoothly.
Not to mention being able to get extremely high personal evaluation when completing the level calculation, unless the human emperor comes to the world and bombs fish indiscriminately in the shadow world.
Vivian thought about it.
"Do you want to take charge yourself?"
She asked somewhat unsurely.
Lanqi shouldn't be so crazy, right
Even if the commander of a team is a support player, it is absolutely impossible to let a newcomer take command.
After all, the Shadow World is a challenge that involves the lives of the entire team!
"No, I'm not very good at commanding a lot of people."
Lanqi quickly denied it.
"Be careful when you challenge the Shadow World. It is much more dangerous than you think! Especially for a newbie like you, don't be too arrogant. Learn and watch carefully first."
Vivian advised seriously. She felt that Lanqi didn't seem to realize the danger of the shadow world at all.
"If you think our group is good after comprehensive consideration, you can come to me directly. There are also groups with strong strength but very bad character, so you have to be careful."
Vivian was not in a hurry to recruit Lanqi, she just said this.
After all, there will be many teams for Lanqi to compare and choose from, and she doesn't want Lanqi to join them just for the sake of it.
Before they knew it, Lanqi and Vivian had arrived at a tall red brick building that looked like a manor hotel.
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness Vivian."
Lanqi smiled and thanked as he walked through the automatically revolving glass door of the Sage Academy dormitory building.
It seems that some people in school are already interested in him. Regardless of whether he joins the team or not, his Shadow World Challenge will attract a lot of attention.
Registered challengers who want to participate in the real shadow world must carry the official Shadow World Record Program Magic Cards of the Shadow World Management Association of the Southern Continent according to regulations.
It will be able to record in real time all the situations and information of the challengers when they are challenging in the shadow world, and it is also the most important reliance of many research societies for reviewing and analyzing the intelligence of the shadow world.
At the same time, only with it can the Shadow World Management Association calculate promotion points for registered challengers after the Shadow World ends.
But the most important thing is that the Shadow World Recording Program has a live broadcast function similar to that installed in the artificial Shadow World startup terminal!
For example, Ikerita College is the official partner of the Shadow World Management Association. The school publicity department of the Magic College can broadcast some exciting student challenges that are of great teaching significance or have attracted much attention live on the magic screens throughout the school.
As long as Lanqi receives enough attention, he will most likely be caught by the faculty of the Magic Engineering Academy!
I don't want to be publicly executed.
Lanqi was feeling conflicted, as the response to the second round of assessment of the Hidden Flame of Winter didn't seem to be very good.
While I was thinking, fresh air blew towards me and at the same time, a burst of light music came to my ears.
When you walk into the Sage Court dormitory building, you can see luxurious platinum chandeliers hanging in the lobby, like bright stars, illuminating the entire space.
There are sofas and coffee tables in the lobby on the first floor, where students can sit down and rest at any time. Even in the morning, there are already students drinking tea or chatting on the sofas, looking relaxed and happy.
They didn't pay much attention to Lanqi and Vivian. For them, it was very common to have new students moving in these days.
Lanqi and Vivian walked across the quaint carpet on the floor and came to the reception desk in the lobby.
The administrator also looked up at them.
"Will you move into the dormitory starting today?"
The administrator, wearing his Ikerita Academy work badge, asked Lanqi and Vivian with a smile.
"Yes."
"The boys' dormitory is in the left building, the girls' dormitory is in the right building, and the building behind is the restaurant. The rooms are on a first-come, first-served basis. The two students who are the first to register for the boys' and girls' dormitories can choose the room they like. Currently, there are vacancies on every floor."
The administrator smiled and explained that since the third-year students who had graduated earlier had moved out, the dormitories they had originally lived in were now empty.
"Then I'll choose the second floor. See you later."
Vivian made a decision immediately.
Then he took the key handed to him by the administrator and turned and left.
"goodbye."
Lanci waved.
He felt that although Princess Vivian seemed arrogant and fierce, she was not someone who was difficult to talk to, and she was indeed sincere when responding to others.
After some hesitation, Lanqi also felt that the second floor of the boys' dormitory was a good choice.
It is convenient to go up and down the stairs, and it is not as humid as the first floor, and it is noisy with people coming and going.
"In addition, there are a few rooms on the first floor in addition to the lobby. However, since the first floor has never been popular, the school later rebuilt the first floor rooms by connecting them two by two in order to deal with the long-vacant rooms. Therefore, the dormitory space on the first floor is twice as large as other floors."
The administrator said somewhat helplessly.
Just now, Her Royal Highness the Princess had decisively requested the second floor before giving him a chance to recommend it, and he didn't dare to waste time with her.
I really don't know how this young man with black hair and green eyes can be so calm in front of the princess.
"In that case, I'll just live on the first floor."
Lanci replied in a casual manner.
He felt that the dormitory manager also seemed to want someone to live on the first floor.
"Okay, here are the keys to number 101."
The administrator smiled and handed the silver key engraved with the spell to Lanqi.
Even if I recommend the rooms on the first floor every year, I may not be able to recommend them.
This year, the first student chose the first floor, which made the administrator very happy.
"Thank you, where are the firefighting tools?"
After Lanqi took the key, he asked politely.
"!?"
Although the administrator knew that Lanqi asked a very benign question.
But it was the first time he encountered a student moving into the dormitory and the first problem he encountered was fire safety.
It always makes him feel a little inexplicably scared!
There was a brief silence in front of and behind the reception desk on the first floor of the Sage Hall dormitory.
The administrator looked at Lanqi.
Lanqi tilted his head, his eyes innocent and puzzled.
"cough."
Soon, the administrator coughed lightly.
This student seems to be gentle, respectful, thrifty and accommodating in every way. He should not be a dangerous person.
"Of course, students. Our school attaches great importance to the safety of students. Fire protection is undoubtedly one of the key points. The entire dormitory building has fully complied with and implemented all the fire safety regulations and building standards of the Kingdom of Hutton..."
In a professional manner, the administrator explained to Lanqi the safety exits and locations of fire-fighting tools in the dormitory building.
Lanqi listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
This makes the administrators feel even more scared...
"Student, maybe my question is a little offensive, but you don't have any dangerous items with you, right?"
After explaining Lanqi's question in detail, the administrator asked another question.
"No, don't worry."
Lanci assured confidently.
The administrator heard this and thought so too.
The dormitory building is equipped with the Magic Engineering Institute’s latest automatic security equipment, and flammable and explosive items cannot be brought into the dormitory building at all.
So after saying goodbye to the administrator, Lanqi happily took the key and went to find his room.
He tried not to bring too much luggage from the South Wantina border, and planned to buy everything after he moved into the dormitory in the capital.
Including card making tools and more.
It would be great if the dormitory could be as spacious as possible, with an area set aside for use as a painting studio and card-making workshop.
This is also one of the reasons why he tends to choose the first floor.
In addition, failure always runs through card making, this is card making.
Taliyah now taunts Ranch for being a "card bomber".
So if you practice card making in the dormitory, the first floor should be the safest.
Lanqi thought.
After walking a few steps, he found dormitory No. 101 in the corridor facing the lobby.
Insert the key into the lock, turn the key, and open the solid wood door with a crisp sound, and the entrance hall comes into view. The large coat rack and shoe cabinet in European classical style can conveniently store coats and shoes.
The entire entrance is simple, practical and elegant. After Lanqi passed through the entrance, he came to the main and spacious living room in the dormitory.
The living room has a comfortable sofa, a matching coffee table, and a magic screen fixed to the wall.
The pillows and blankets on the sofa are all in warm colors. There is a retro floor lamp standing next to it. The sunlight shines on the various brown wooden furniture, making the whole space soft and warm.
It didn't take Lanqi long to figure out the structure of his new home. The living room was connected to four spaces: a bedroom with its own bathroom, a balcony, a study, and the last one, which was basically empty and looked like a giant storage room, could be freely modified and arranged according to the students' needs.
Although the room is a bit too big, if the space is too cramped, it will surely lead to complaints from students.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door of Lanqi's dormitory.
After walking over and opening the door, I found that it was the staff of the Student Service Center who brought Lanqi's luggage that he had stored there.
Next.
The organization work went very smoothly and everything was basically ready before noon.
The furniture is complete and the storage space is very substantial and reasonable, which is the most satisfying aspect.
Lanqi sat on the sofa, leisurely flipping through the "Registration Regulations of the South Continent Card Making Association", waiting for lunch.
This was Lanqi's first step in becoming a world-famous card-making master.
The minimum requirement to apply for a registered card maker is level three, which means being able to make three types of magic cards including summoning cards, spell cards, and equipment cards.
Lanqi still needs to hone his card-making skills for some time.
And upgrade yourself to the third level as soon as possible.
You can try to take the Card Creator exam at the Ikerite branch of the Southern Continent Card Creators Association.
Only by becoming a registered card maker and obtaining certification can you obtain patent protection.
It can also save you a lot of tedious identification and guarantee steps and some handling fees, and you can sell efficiently under your own name on the official trading platform of the Card Creators Association.
"In the Shadow World, I was able to obtain the status of an Iron Level Registered Challenger without taking the test. I wonder if I can get a higher starting point in the Card Creator test..."
Lanqi flipped through the pages of the book in his hands and muttered to himself.
The registration card-making exam is also called the grading exam.
The levels also follow the seven levels of the Shadow World Management Association, namely iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, magic crystal, and master.
The registration exam will determine the initial level based on the card maker's potential.
Generally speaking, if you can pass and be rated as Iron, everything is fine. Of course, there are also super-potential card makers with great potential and excellent performance who are directly rated as Bronze and Silver.
A silver-level card maker is already very powerful.
It is even said that there are very few gold-level card makers in this school, and in the entire southern continent, there are far fewer gold-level card makers than gold-level challengers.
"Alas, my craftsmanship is still too unstable."
Lanqi sighed and closed the book in his hand.
Although he had independently created two purple rare quality magic cards, Basic Etiquette and Friendly Communication.
But in the past few months, he has only made these two cards and a few blue precious quality first-level cards.
The rest of the Wrong Healing series magic cards were all purchased from the Association. Fortunately, these cards were sold at the lowest price and were not expensive.
"Anyway, let's go to the real Shadow World first! You can't even take the Card Creator Exam if you don't reach the third level."
Lanqi is always optimistic and doesn't worry about what will happen after tomorrow.
As the saying goes, drink today and enjoy yourself today, tomorrow is another day!
It's not possible to become a master of card making overnight.
All you need to know right now is—
His brand new life on the Ikerite campus is about to begin!
