is unusually harmonious.Could it be that she was overthinking thingsMother Teresa wandered her mind, reminding herself to focus on the task at hand.She hurried to Hubert and Lance's presence and said:...Chapter 37: Lan Qi received an invitation.

The red brick buildings are majestic and imposing, representing the ancient engineering and wisdom of the Magic Engineering Academy. {Write to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name.}

Two people walked along the road inside the school.

A clear stream meanders along the roadside, reflecting the emerald foliage of the trees. In this exceptionally tranquil morning, gazing farther afield, one sees that the flower fields on the opposite bank are part of the Chain Jin Institute of System Botany and serve as both a teaching and research base for biological engineering.

Through this shady path, you can reach the school building area of the Academy of Wisdom.

If you want to challenge the Shadow Realm as quickly as possible, you should consider joining a team, doing some research and learning about them. Choosing a suitable team can be very beneficial and helpful for you.

Vivian thought about it for a while, but ultimately decided not to scold Lance. Instead, she patiently taught him.

Since Lance humbly asked her about the difficulty of the three-tiered shadow world, he wasn't a reckless fool.

It's just a bit of confidence that matches my natural talent.

For young people, this is all normal.

Even if someone was rude to Lance, he would always remain gentle.

Vivian hated hurting good people the most. Scolding them would only make her feel guilty.

"…"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Lanche fell into a brief silence after Vivian's words.

After passing the last exam, Lanche chatted with Hublerian on the stairs of the Learning and Education Building. He also went to investigate about the Academy Shadow World Challenge.

There are indeed several student teams in this academy that are widely rumored and recognized as the strongest.

Among them are groups that have been built in recent years.

There are also bands that were formed many years ago—leaders have changed several times over the years, and to this day they still use the name passed down from generation to generation.

These teams are considered the strongest not only because they have gold-tier senior leaders, but also because some of these long-standing teams have platinum-tier "fourth-year students" or "fixed-term positions" overseeing them.

Although top-tier Platinum rank experts are mostly nominal and won't interfere with the captain's decision-making, they also rarely team up with other students in practice.

But sometimes their little hints are also invaluable help for newcomers!

Besides.

Any Platinum level comes with a true top-tier "Association Registered Resident Squad".

If they were fortunate enough to be noticed, perhaps after proving their skill, they would be recommended to a team standing at the pinnacle of power in South Continent!

This will be a shortcut to promotion to platinum level.

However, these are not things that Lanche should consider in the short term.

He still has a long way to go before reaching the bronze and silver ranks.

Today, Lan Chi has received a notification from the South Continent Shadow World Management Association. The school has submitted all the required materials for his "Registration Test Exemption," and he only needs to complete the final steps at the association to become an Iron-Rank Registered Challenger.

"Oh, I don't even know what kind of team I'd be good at."

"Finally," Lance spoke.

In the capital, he had almost no connections. Now, much of his knowledge came from Huberlian and Vivienne's kindness in telling him.

"It's fine, you'll learn about it through many channels after school starts, and there might even be teams that reach out to you proactively."

Vivian said nothing and kept a straight face.

To say Vivienne wasn't envious of Lanchi's first place would be a lie.

She actually thought at first that she was a strong contender for the top spot on the Sage Academy rankings.

I didn't expect the overall score to be pulled apart by this gentle and polite young man in front of me.

Over the years, new students who have achieved excellent results in entrance examinations have always been coveted potential candidates by many teams.

Having said that, she added:

Although your abilities remain a mystery to all the seniors, you are sure to be sought after simply because of your first-place entrance exam score in the Academy of Wisdom.

Lanche's performance in the third round of the examination has been personally sealed away by the Headmaster of the Wise Men's Academy, Loren. Even Vivian couldn't find out any information.

Therefore, there are also many doubts about Ranch currently.

For example, Ranchi and Huberly only passed the third round of the exam because examiner Ferlat suddenly had a heart attack.

The official statement from the Academy of Sages did not offer any explanation, and those behind the scenes, even examiners like Ferratt who belonged to the same faction, remained silent about the situation despite likely knowing what happened.

"Is that so"

Lanche didn't expect that after school started, he would still be actively recruited.

However, choosing a team and refusing other people's generous invitations will both be painful things.

Lanche doesn't know what team would be best for him, or if there are any better options.

Then it takes time cost to understand.

"Don't you like the feeling of being popular"

Vivian looked at Lance's slightly stunned expression and asked curiously.

She was puzzled why Ranch didn't show much joy, instead seeming a bit troubled.

Isn't it stressful to be looked up to and expected by strangers

Lance smiled gently and turned his head to look at Vivian.

Although Vivian's interpretation of his thoughts was slightly off.

But Lanchi easily saw what Vivi was thinking.

"Indeed."

After a brief silence, Vivian nodded.

"It must be tiring, being a princess and having everyone's expectations on you, right"

Lanche looked serene, his voice gentle.

"

Ah… it’s tiring.

"

Vivian sighed.

Although she, as royalty, bore a great deal of responsibility and shouldn't agree with Lance's self-centered and detached ideas, deep down, she truly believed the same.

I really want to lie in the grass and take a nap, I don't want to be so busy working all day, I want to be a dignified and noble princess.

and so on.

Vivian quickly reacted.

It should be him asking Lanchi questions, how did it suddenly turn into a conversation about life

And the more we chatted, the more I felt like giving in to my desires and just letting go.

This fellow was merely speaking naturally, yet his words sounded like the whispers of a demon. Unconsciously, they stirred up her long-suppressed desire for laziness.

Vivian hurriedly shook her head, stopping herself from continuing the irrelevant topic with Lance.

"Lanche, if you don't have any specific intentions, you could also consider my team. I'll introduce you. There are mostly students from the Academy of Wisdom and the Academy of Artificers. If you need a card commission, it would be more convenient. Plus, there is a platinum-level student, he is the strongest artificer in his year at the Academy of Artificers."

Vivian had already assembled her team. Growing up in the capital, she naturally knew many influential people from her privileged upbringing.

She also believes this team is appealing and isn't just randomly recommending it to Lance.

As one of the strongest teams in the academy, compared to other teams, their biggest feature is having extremely well-stocked logistics.

For example, when you want to find an excellent card maker through the Card Maker Association and commission them for a card making project, you often face many difficulties such as getting scammed, being overcharged, having long waiting times, or being rejected outright.

And team members are often very approachable and easy to make friends with card makers.

"Are there any combat jobs at the Mage Academy"

Lan Chi was surprised and asked.

His focus was clearly not on the team itself.

This made Vivian feel a little stifled, she clearly spoke very enticingly.

Ranch probably doesn't know the value of befriending potential card makers from the Magic Engineering Academy!

As expected, this young man from the border still lacks a proper understanding of the Shadow World.

Vivian sighed helplessly and still explained to Lance:

"It's not necessarily a battlefield card maker who can go to the Shadow World from the Magic Engineering Academy. A truly powerful magic engineer can fight just as well as the students of the Law Riding Second Academy."

As for the Lianjin Academy, don't underestimate it either. If you provoke some troublesome people there, things could get really serious.

Vivian seemed to have recalled something unpleasant and added,

"Huh"

Lanche uttered a voice of confusion.

He knew that the Lianjin Academy had more scholars, physicians, pharmacists, and alchemists, leaning more towards research. But according to Vivian's words, there must also be a few exceptional ones skilled in combat.

What exactly constitutes a major troublemaker

Vivian shook her head sadly, as if in deep pain, and said:

The Intelligence Studies program at the Lianjin Institute, I don't know who started it, has been gradually heading towards the direction of unscrupulous journalists in recent years... The *Hertfordshire Times* was actually originally published by the Lianjin Institute. Now it's getting bigger and stronger. If you offend them, you might be ruthlessly blackmailed.

Vivian, as a much-anticipated princess, was afraid that one day her behavior would be scrutinized and she would be caught.

"Hiss—"

Lanchi gasped.

He always felt that he wanted to join the newspaper more than joining the team.

In a society governed by law, manipulating public opinion is no less powerful than violence!
