Chapter 90 Talia's Mood Swings

Chapter 106 The Shadow World Recording Program

Morning light streamed in through the glass skylight, swirling around the wooden beams and bookshelves, mingling the faint scent of wood with the bedroom fragrance Taliya had placed on the dresser, emitting a delicate and fresh aroma of vanilla and rum, without being overly sweet.

"Uh..."

Ranchi hadn't seemed to anticipate that Taliya's attitude towards him would worsen.

But he didn't mind, because he had brought something Taliya was sure to like again.

"I'm here to pay my tuition."

Ranchi's lips curved up, revealing his signature smile, innocent yet with a hint of mischief.

He handed a magic card to Taliya.

[Shadow World Recording Program]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Rank: 1]

[Passive Effect: Records the challenger's challenge information in the Shadow World, can be turned off or on at any time.]

[Note: Issued by the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association, registered challenger: Ranchi Wilford.]

Taliya glanced at it indifferently, seemingly not interested in the card at all.

"What do I need it for?"

The words slipped out, but her heartbeat quickened slightly.

Originally, Taliya hadn't figured out how to subtly hint to Ranchi that she wanted this.

She didn't expect him to directly offer the magic card that recorded the complete contents of the Demon World Shadow World!

This also made Taliya wonder—

Why would Ranchi know that she wanted this? He clearly had no way of knowing that she was a demon.

"Tata, the Shadow World I challenged this time is special. Guess what I found inside?"

Ranchi said smugly, as if he was sure that what he was about to say would interest Taliya.

"What?"

Taliya crossed her arms and glanced at Ranchi's expression with a hint of curiosity.

She had watched the second half of Ranchi's challenge, and felt that besides the complete historical information of the Demon World in the recording program, there was nothing more valuable.

"Magic that can modify demonic beast fur!"

Ranchi snapped his fingers and announced the answer.

Taliya's face immediately turned cold upon hearing this, and the little bit of interest she had was completely dispelled.

She felt that Ranchi was joking with her again, without any sense of propriety.

This guy was getting more and more annoying.

However, as if anticipating Taliya's reaction, Ranchi moved a little closer to her chair, bent down, and said in a low voice:

"Let's cooperate, a strong alliance, and study the magic of modifying human hair. Think about it, if you can give your opponent a hairstyle while fighting, wouldn't that be an embodiment of 'friendship first, respect for the opponent'?"

"...?!"

Taliya immediately looked at Ranchi's smiling face.

She realized that this newbie seemed to be opening a forbidden door again!

While fighting, he would get rid of the enemy's hair.

This enemy wouldn't stop until he killed Ranchi.

However, knowing that this was a more dangerous magic than kneeling and gagging,

After seeing Ranchi's previous magic card products, Taliya couldn't help but feel a strong interest again this time.

"So, Tata,"

Ranchi stared into Taliya's golden eyes, knowing that she was tempted,

"Although the content about the 'demonic beast fur modification magic' is all in my head and not recorded in the [Shadow World Recording Program], so as to prevent the prototype of this core technology from being seen by others or the Management Association, this [Shadow World Recording Program] also recorded the entire process of my challenge in the Shadow World. I think you should understand the relevant process and background before developing new magic, maybe there's something I overlooked?"

He continued to speak slowly in Taliya's ear.

Moving with emotion, reasoning with sense, not at all like the whisper of a demon.

"..."

Taliya lowered her head and rubbed her brow.

She always felt that she might be under Ranchi's mental magic, how could she not refuse him every time?

The complete historical intelligence of the Demon World in the recording program was just a gift, and that happened to be what she wanted most.

The "demonic beast fur modification magic," which was the main body of the transaction, also made her extremely tempted.

Once again, Ranchi seemed to always know her sweet spot, being able to let her get everything that was beneficial to her, to her satisfaction, without any worries or troubles.

Originally, Taliya felt that she didn't want to pay attention to Ranchi today, but now she felt that she should be nicer to him.

A human's life was short, and this young man was full of immeasurable value.

She was likely to stay by his side for decades, completely developing his value.

So instead of always suspecting him, it was better to be a little nicer to him, to make him more willing to work for her.

"This is only enough for me to teach you up to the fourth rank."

Taliya temporarily didn't take the magic card from Ranchi's hand, and said in a slightly gentler tone.

If she continued to teach, Taliya would have nothing more common card-making techniques to teach, unless she directly taught Ranchi thorough demon card-making techniques in a wild manner.

But that was absolutely impossible.

Teaching Ranchi up to the third rank was the limit, and no matter what Ranchi said in the future, she would not teach him.

"No problem."

Ranchi agreed decisively, and then Taliya took the [Shadow World Recording Program] from his hand:

"I'll return it to you when I'm done reading it."

"Okay, no rush."

Ranchi nodded, at least before the next Shadow World challenge, he didn't need to rush to get the card back, there were two whole months,

"Tata, before researching the 'hairstyle modification' magic, I also encountered a problem, that is, if I want to improve my card-making success rate as much as possible and pass the registered card maker assessment, can you help me test the magic type compatibility you mentioned last time?"

Besides reaching a new transaction agreement with Taliya.

Next, the most important thing was to find the direction of his future card maker career.

"...Card maker exam."

Taliya knew that Ranchi had to obtain the identity of a registered card maker in the Southern Continent in order to make money quickly, and the higher the initial level of a card maker, the greater the benefits and reductions he could obtain.

The money Ranchi earned was actually hers, so it was indeed necessary for her to help Ranchi pass this slightly difficult exam for him.

Currently, even if Ranchi, who had just reached the third rank, was allowed to make the mental magic cards he was best at, the success rate of making finished magic cards within the limited number of opportunities on the spot would not be high, and it would not be surprising if he passed the exam in a year or two.

She also had to find out if Ranchi had a higher compatibility with other magic types.

But Taliya couldn't guarantee that the "superior" compatibility of mental magic would already be the best of Ranchi's compatibility with all magic types.

"Come with me."

After saying that, she stood up and led Ranchi to the inner room next door.
