Lanci made a confused sound.
He knew that the Alchemy Institute had more scholars, doctors, pharmacists, and alchemists who were more inclined toward research, but according to Vivian, there must be a few who were good at fighting.
But what exactly can be called a big troublemaker?
Vivian shook her head painfully, and said as if she was suffering:
"I don't know who started the intelligence major at the Alchemy Institute, but in recent years it has gradually developed in the direction of unscrupulous journalists... The Hutton Times was actually published by the Alchemy Institute in the beginning, and now it's getting bigger and stronger. If you offend them, you'll probably be smeared like crazy."
As a princess who attracted much attention, Vivian was afraid that she would be caught behaving inappropriately one day.
"hiss--"
Lanci took a breath.
He always felt that he wanted to join the newspaper rather than join the team.
In a society ruled by law, isn’t manipulating public opinion more powerful than violence and murder?!
Chapter 38 Lanqi's Fire Safety Awareness
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 on the road nearby, hurrying by in the morning light.
"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.
"You must be cautious when challenging the Shadow World. It is much more dangerous than you think! Especially for a newcomer 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 card 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 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 [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-term 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.
