When Ranch stepped into the great void gate with his usual pace, he once again felt plunged into a vast darkness.

I couldn't see anything, not even the sound of my own heartbeat disappeared, it was a familiar feeling.

It's just that when the surroundings light up again, it won't be that academy anymore.

Gradually, a faint light came into Ranchi's sight like the dawn seen by a voyager lost in the night.

As the silver-white light appeared, a series of words rushed to the face like a meteor in the sky—

[Welcome to the Registered Card Maker Examination Room, artificially create a simulated shadow world. 】

[Currently in preparation time, the official exam will begin after the preparation time has ended.] 】

[There are 29 minutes and 50 seconds left in the preparation time.] 】

[Before the start of the test and during the test, you can pay and purchase the required materials at any time, and within 5 minutes after purchase, the materials will be shipped to the artificial world where the current test taker is located.] 】

[The purple rare level and above materials you purchased can only be used for the production of exam cards, and cannot be taken out of the artificial shadow world examination room, and the unused materials will be recycled by the association and 80% of the candidate's fee will be refunded.] 】

[If you successfully make a magic card in the exam, you will be refunded the material cost as a bonus, the ratio is 10% for white common, 20% for blue precious, 30% for purple rare, 40% for pink sacred, and 50% for orange epic.] 】

[Candidates need to make magic cards of no less than the third order, if the rank of the card is higher than the third order, there will be a small scoring bonus, if the rank of the card produced is lower than the candidate, there will be a small score reduction.] 】

【……】

[The above information can be browsed and consulted at any time during the test.] 】

[Have you read it and agreed to enter the test environment?] 】

【Continue/Exit】

Ranch was done in no time.

Familiar with the law, he knows that every ordinance actually has its own considerations.

For example, only 80% of the price of the remaining materials is not completely the association's greed for money, but to prevent some overly wealthy candidates from buying a large number of materials in short stock without any worries at the beginning of the exam, resulting in other candidates who need them unable to buy these materials normally.

Materials should not be taken out of the examination room, which is also to prevent the master from buying high-grade materials through this method to speculate on prices.

In addition, it is fair for Lanqi to add or subtract points from high-level cards, if a fourth- or fifth-order card maker comes to take the registration exam, only a third-order card will be deducted, but if a fourth- or fifth-order card is made, there will be additional points.

Candidates like Lan Qi who participate in the third order can only do the third order card, and there is no additional score increase or decrease.

As Lanki's fingertips touched [Continue], ripples rippled on the silver-white curtain of light, spreading rapidly in front of his eyes until he disappeared.

The surroundings quickly lit up, and Ranch found himself standing in a standard-spec card-making workshop.

The [Candidate Operation Panel] in front of you has many more functions such as [Selection Scene] and [Procurement Materials].

During the preparation time, candidates cannot start to make cards, but can only prepare accordingly.

So Ranch unhurriedly began to pick out the scene.

The environment can be selected from indoor to outdoor, in a variety of styles, covering almost all the maps recorded in the artificial shadow world.

Soon, Ranch picked out a spacious room similar to the principal's office.

Only here is he the most comfortable and the most productive.

Later, Ranch began to shop for materials.

On the browse panel, you can see all the current inventory of the Ixerita Card Makers Guild branch and its detailed information.

Some of the necessary materials are already included in the registration fee, and the association will provide five basic magic card crafting consumables, which will be delivered to the candidate's solo world at the moment the exam officially begins.

These base materials represent five chances and can no longer be purchased.

Other materials can be freely purchased according to the candidate's card production needs.

Ranch adjusted the material screening categories to [Seal], [Spirit], [Light], and [Healing], and browsed through the inventory and introductions.

[Spell Seal Ring: Blue Precious Item; Light sealing magic or creature magic is required; ￡12。 】

[Mystery Gem: White Ordinary Item; Can be used as a medium to seal power; ￡1。 】

[Holy Seal: Purple Rare Item; Produced by the Church and engraved with a seal of divine magic, it can have a suppressive effect on evil side creatures; ￡65。 】

[Holy Water: Purple Rare Item; Consumables with a strong recovery effect, can also be used as a throwable against the undead, or as a concoction when crafting items; ￡20。 】

[Healing Magic Flower: White Ordinary Item; It can be ground into a medicinal powder, or mixed with magic ink; ￡0.5。 】

[Feather of Light: Purple Rare Item; Derived from the elves of light, it can be used as a medium for casting powerful light magic; ￡115。 】

【……】

When you click on the entry, you can also see its detailed quality, as well as a detailed description, evaluation, and recommended use.

Although Ranchi will be based on seals due to its success rate, if you want to make a high-quality kara high score, you have to use the available high-rare materials as a reference based on the current inventory of the Ikerita Card Makers Guild branch.

It is possible that other types may need to be integrated on top of the seal system to become a compound magic type.

Ranch quickly added some of the consumables necessary to make a seal-based magic card to the list, and there was little hesitation.

With only a few other types of magic materials to see along the way, Ranch needs to think a little about whether to make an alternative to the high-quality magic cards he might make today.

Although he had half an hour to prepare, he was almost ready in less than ten minutes.

Ranch's strategy is to make a white quality guarantee on the equipment cards that he is least good at, and blue or purple on the summon and spell cards that he is good at.

In this way, as long as the card can be successfully made, he will at least be rated to the bronze level, and even if a single purple card in the two purple and one white is evaluated abnormally, it may also be rated to the silver level.

In this way, when Ranch quickly browsed through the materials in the inventory of these four categories.

He watched as he was being quickly swiped through the interface in an assembly line, and suddenly when he swiped through a page, he immediately swiped back.

Rankie's hand slowed and slowly stopped.

He saw an extremely special pink divine grade material [Unnamed Light Elemental Stone].

According to the evaluation of the Card Makers Association, there is currently no plan for catalytic processing, and according to the traditional direct use of elemental stones, it may only be able to exert the effect of purple rarity.

Despite this, the only one alone costs £1,250.

Ranch didn't want to think about such an expensive single piece of material.

But as he looked at the shape of the elemental stone, his brow furrowed even more.

He had seen this chondrite-type structure in a scientific journal in his previous life.

It seems that this is not a stone on the ground, but an appearance that can only be formed by the condensation and precipitation of the solar nebula, which has undergone accretion and other actions, and has been formed over a long period of time!

In other words, it is actually a cosmic meteorite......

Ranch stood in front of the light curtain of the materials he was shopping, and he held his chin and thought about it.

Last time, Hubert didn't ask for a single point of the 650 pound bonus, and gave it all to him.

And when Ranch left the border territory of Nan Vantina, he had already given Talia a lot of the 1,000 pounds or so in his hand, and he would continue to pay her in the future.

In other words, if you buy this material yourself, if you can successfully make a magic card, you will also have a bonus as the rest of the money.

But if you fail, you will suddenly become poor, and you may even have to ask your family for a little support before you can make money in the next movie world.

If he could, he still didn't want to ask his family for money in a short time.

Lanchi knew that the butler Hans must want to have fun, so he didn't let Lanchi's father Noe, who was far away in a foreign country, know that Lanchi had been admitted to the Sage's Academy.

It doesn't matter to Ranchi himself, he is just preparing to surprise his father after the royal capital Ixerita has made a name for himself and showed his strength, and it is best to wait for himself to come back from the Northern Continent.

Since Daddy Noai has given him an investment, Ranch will definitely repay Noah's expectations!

Finally, I thought about it.

Nevertheless, Ranch made a decision.

He removed most of the purple rare quality materials that had been available, bought the elemental stone, and re-selected other materials for it.

And so the minutes passed.

Finally, the official exam has begun!
