Don't confiscate my citizenship

Hutton Pedestrian Square has gradually become bustling with the brightening morning sun. The glass windows of large department stores have carefully designed displays to attract the attention of passers-by. This Saturday morning is already full of excitement.

The giant magic screen integrated on the second-floor glass wall of the Card Creators Association has been switched from the association's carousel advertisement to a warm-up broadcast of the Certified Card Creator Examination that will begin soon.

There were families on the pedestrian square with their laughing and energetic children, couples smiling at each other enjoying the leisurely weekend, and many customers sitting in the outdoor seating areas of cafes and restaurants.

At this moment, some people gradually began to raise their heads and cast their eyes from the busy scene on the street to the giant glass screen of the association.

The fifth floor of the Card Designers Association.

Looking at the open square scenery downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lan Qi and Hyperian chatted leisurely.

Follow the signs and walk toward the atrium later to reach the Certified Card Maker examination area.

"I feel very good today!"

Lan Qi looked at the time. It was almost time to enter the examination room and wait, so he said goodbye to Hyperion for the time being.

Having just finished doing some good deeds today, Lan Qi feels in a great mood, and even makes cards with a little more confidence.

"...Lan Qi, come on."

Although Hyperion felt that Lanci's hot state was definitely not good news for Sophia.

But she will definitely wish Lan Qi wholeheartedly.

Hyperion couldn't tell whether Lan Qi would use his lifelong skills in card making today just for fun.

Forget it, I'm used to it.

Hyperion's mood was very complicated.

She not only hoped that Lan Qi could pass and get a good grade, but she was also worried that Lan Qi would overdo it and Sophia would not be able to bear it later.

But it shouldn't be a big problem.

Hyperion has also learned about the Certified Card Maker examination process.

Generally speaking, it is already difficult to directly jump from the first level of Iron to the second level of Bronze.

Candidates have a total of five opportunities to make cards, and at least three of them are successful to be qualified, and they must meet three different categories: spell cards, equipment cards, and summoning cards.

This is why it is so difficult to pass the Certified Card Maker exam by chance.

The association will rate the magic cards made based on qualifications.

The total score of all finished cards is the score.

If you want to reach the initial bronze level promotion points, if the three finished cards are of blue precious quality, the total will be just right.

With this kind of skill, he also has the strength of a bronze-level card maker.

Going up to the silver level is even more difficult than reaching the sky.

Hyperion had talked to Lan Qi a long time ago and knew that his card-making skills had a high upper limit and a low lower limit. What he lacked most was the stability of quality. Only seal-type cards could ensure the success rate.

As for the epic card [Poet of Love], it was the masterpiece of his teacher. He himself has never made a pink sacred grade card.

Therefore, Hyperion feels that if Lanci can perform regularly today and make one purple and two whites, it will be quite good to reach the bronze level.

"Na Lanqi, I should be waiting for you on the third floor later."

Hyperion and Lanqi waved to him to hurry up and enter the examination room.

She planned to go to the third floor to check the situation. If Enol and Sophia got along well, she would stay with them and watch the status of the Certified Card Maker exam through the magic screen on the floor.

"Well, I'll go find you after the exam."

Lan Qi nodded, turned around and walked towards the examination room area.

…

More than ten minutes later.

The spacious atrium hall for the Certified Card Maker Examination.

Natural light pours into the interior through the large rose window design on the dome.

At this time, Lan Qi had passed the examination qualification confirmation and was sitting quietly in the waiting area waiting for the examination to begin.

Several giant magic devices stand along the walls of the hall, like a group of silent giants. The weak light shines on them, reflecting mysterious and magnificent rays of light.

These huge magical engineering components are connected in a winding way, and the cold color of mithril and magic crystal gives people a shocking visual impact.

Many foreign card maker candidates in the examination waiting area who saw this large-scale magical instrument for the first time could not help but marvel at this one of the highest masterpieces of magical engineering.

However, Lan Qi was already used to it.

This "Artificial Shadow World Start Terminal" was used in the entrance examination of Icerite Academy.

In recent years, the registered card maker examination has been improved from the ordinary examination room examination to the Artificial Film World examination.

After the exam begins, candidates will carry the [Portable Card Making Tool] set of magic cards and enter the harmless world of single-level first-level artificial shadows.

The separated single-person shadow world can ensure that candidates are protected from all external factors when making cards and will not interfere with each other. At the same time, the association can also record and evaluate the examination process extremely conveniently.

In addition to being transmitted to the headquarters of the Card Creators Association, the entire examination process will also be broadcast to a small extent on the giant screen on the outer wall of the Card Creators Association in the royal capital of Icerite and on the magic screens on each floor.

Generally, after the card-making exam begins, guests who come to the Card Printers Association to handle business or conduct transactions will take a look at the exam as a pastime.

In Hutton Pedestrian Square, some citizens will find a place to rest on the landscaped flower box benches or the stone steps at the edge of the tree altar to sit and watch.

Therefore, this makes many candidates who are taking part for the first time, or even those who have failed several times, quite nervous.

Compared to the anxious card makers around him, Lan Qi seemed particularly calm.

His steady demeanor seemed to be not for making cards but for invigilating exams.

Having participated in two artificial shadow world exams and one real shadow world exam, he had no worries in his heart.

Ever since he came back from the dream-like Demon Realm Academy last time, Lan Qi felt that his heart had been taken away by the Demon Realm, and there might be no more joy or sorrow in this life.

Lan Qi just waited calmly.

I don’t know when, but the sound of gentle footsteps reached the candidates’ ears from the hall.

This feeling of the examiner entering the room naturally silenced the originally slightly noisy examination room.

Lan Qi headed towards the direction where the candidates' eyes met.

I saw a figure walking in from the entrance side of the hall, wearing a dark suit, with accessories indicating the identity of a registered card maker and a senior examiner of the Card Makers Association on the outer pockets and collar.

He is a well-groomed middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, but with a hint of sleepiness in the corners of his eyes.

He quickly walked to the front of the examination waiting area and stared at the candidates.

There is no shortage of young people in the examination waiting area. These young card makers are almost all students from Icerita College or schools from other cities, such as the Holy Teaching Research Society and the Holy Art and Crafts Academy, who come to take this registration examination.

Although there are other large cities in the Hutton Kingdom that offer the Certified Card Maker Exam, the number of exam seats is small and the exams are held at different intervals. Sometimes, in order to catch up with the exam as soon as possible, many candidates will take the magic rail train to come to the royal capital. Iclita reference.

Most of the teachers and students at Ikerite College don't care about this kind of registered card maker exam, and only the Magic Engineering Academy will pay attention to it.

If a student performs particularly well in the Certified Card Maker Examination, the association will notify the good news to Professor Borao, the dean of the Magic Engineering Institute of Icerita College.

Every time there is a registered card maker exam, when a promising student from the Magic Academy takes part, the professors from the Magic Academy will look forward to good news.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be any reference for potential freshmen from the Magic Academy today, so the professors at the Magic Academy probably don't pay much attention to this exam.

The middle-aged man thought idly in his mind, and then said:

"I am Lawrence, today's examiner."

Even if the middle-aged man does not need to introduce himself, his status as a gold-level card maker is enough to represent his authority.

"Each of you will enter a single, harmless shadow world and can freely choose the environment. The exam time is up to 5 hours. After the exam starts, you will have 30 minutes to prepare to read the specific exam rules and purchase card-making materials. "

"The exam will officially start at nine o'clock and end at two-thirty in the afternoon. In addition, if you get hungry during the exam, you can also buy lunch in the Artificial Shadow World."

After Lawrence briefly introduced the process, he embedded a secret key with a white glow all over the "Artificial Shadow World Start Terminal".

Immediately afterwards, the space directly in front of the magic device seemed to begin to distort, and the color gradually changed from transparent to dark, until finally it was completely revealed, and an artificial gate to the void appeared.

Other Card Creators Association staff began to guide candidates into the world of artificial photography.

at the same time.

The screen on the glass curtain wall of the Ikerite Card Makers Association branch finally changed to the Certified Card Maker Examination!
