Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 84 Lan Qi's Spoils
The two of them were temporarily waiting for the Shadow World's settlement and clearance rewards.
"Speaking of which, Hyperion, since you're this officially certified demon..."
Lan Qi murmured thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?"
Hyperion felt that Lan Qi's words "officially certified demon" weren't sarcastic; it seemed he had another idea.
"Actually, compared to human magic runes, I personally prefer to study demonic magic runes. In the future, I might make some demon magic-related items, but there's a bit of a problem with sales."
Lan Qi said. At this point, Hyperion understood.
Although the laws of the Kingdom of Hutton didn't prohibit the circulation of magic cards from other races, if they were to be traded through official institutions or legitimate stores, this special type of magic card would need to be registered for its source.
If the source was declared as "Made by Lan Qi" for all of them...
Regardless of whether others believed it, it would easily lead to troublesome investigations, such as suspecting him of "smuggling" or "having an improper origin," or even suspecting that Lan Qi was hiding a demon behind him who was helping him make magical items!
"So you want me to be your agent, right?"
Hyperion asked.
Although she believed that Lan Qi couldn't possibly be the same kind of person as her father, doing something as life-threatening as "harboring a demon," if there were too many suspicious points in doing business, triggering inspections from higher-level departments everywhere, it would ultimately make his sales become secretive.
But Hyperion, as a half-demon duchess who was openly known by the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Hutton and "officially permitted," if she partnered with Lan Qi to open a company and put the Alanzal family name on it, even if Lan Qi circulated demon magic cards on the market in the future, the kingdom wouldn't feel anything amiss.
"That's right, let's establish a company and make it bigger and stronger!"
Lan Qi nodded, his eyes already burning with the spirit of entrepreneurship.
With Hyperion as the big boss, he might also find a chance to bring Talia on board in the future.
That old thing probably dreamed of having a license to do business normally.
"No problem. I didn't expect my demon identity to be useful in a positive way one day."
Just as they were discussing their grand entrepreneurial plan, the task information that suddenly appeared in this quiet and strange space finally began to flicker. Pure white halos contrasted sharply in the dark space, and the text scrolled line by line.
[Shadow World Purgatory Corridor Academy has been cleared.]
[Calculation completed, evaluation being generated.]
[Since challenger Lan Qi & Hyperion entered as a team, the team settlement method is adopted.]
[In this exploration-type Shadow World, a total of 80 ordinary classrooms, 40 advanced classrooms, 15 super-difficult classrooms, 20 non-conquerable facilities, and 1 principal's office were cleared.]
[The team has achieved the following achievements.]
[Honesty Model A—Resolutely refuses to cheat and actively maintains exam order]
[Demon Music Master S—You are skilled in using musical instruments and are also a master of demon music]
[Frugality C—Enjoys delicious food while also cherishing it]
[God of Art S—The professor gained a lot of artistic insights after finishing a class]
[Explosion Index SSS—Completed the regular task with 2000% excess]
[Guardian of the Campus SSS—Protected the demons of the whole school from the wrath of the vampires]
...
[Principal's Office Transformation S—The principal's office should never have a swimming pool, but it has been put on the subsequent transformation outline by the loyal vice-principal]
[Achievement sorting completed, evaluation generation completed.]
[After a day of study, you have become excellent graduates and principals in this academy. The results you have achieved not only deviate from the human path, but even deviate from the demon path...]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: SSS]
[Rank Increase: Lan Qi Second Order → Third Order, Hyperion Third Order → Fourth Order.]
At the moment when the reward settlement arrived, Lan Qi and Hyperion both felt a divine endowment like enlightenment, and immediately the two of them directly produced a rank breakthrough.
Lan Qi even found that even though he had just reached the Third Order, he wasn't that far from the Fourth Order.
"I... I'm Fourth Order already?"
Hyperion murmured in disbelief.
Originally, during the day, she was still thinking about spending her freshman year in vain and not being able to challenge the Shadow World.
Now, it wasn't even dawn on the second day of school, and she had reached the Fourth Order of a sophomore.
It was more unreal than a dream.
"Aren't we going to have to grind Shadow Worlds intensely in the future?"
Lan Qi said with a grin.
After this demon world Shadow World, Hyperion had completely changed from a melee mage to a demon thief who was good at stealthing and looting corpses, had resistance to musical magic, and had Oscar-worthy acting skills!
"Yeah, together in two months."
Hyperion nodded seriously.
The cooldown for the Fourth Order Shadow World was two months. Once the cooldown was over, they could play it again immediately.
She felt that meeting Lan Qi might be the result of her doing good deeds and being seen by the goddess.
Although because she was a demon, the goddess also sent a lucky star who was more suitable for the demon physique.
[Reward Settlement: Purgatory Sound (Third Order Epic Summon Card), Transformation Art: Demon (Second Order Rare Spell Card), Transformation Art: Human (Second Order Rare Spell Card).]
Soon, three light clusters with different colored auras appeared in front of them like stars.
Two of them floated towards Lan Qi, and one floated towards Hyperion, seemingly producing rewards based on contribution.
"Epic...?"
Lan Qi frowned as he looked at the orange light cluster.
Even though he had previously used the epic-level material *Compassionate Poems*, coupled with the craftsmanship of the demon master card maker Talia and his own final drawing as the art director, Lan Qi, he had created the first-order epic-level card *Poet of Great Love* and burdened himself with a 75,000 pound card loan.
Now, after only enjoying a 12-hour dream experience, he had once again obtained an epic card?
It was still a natural epic card of the Third Order.
Even Hyperion looked at the orange light cluster with surprise.
Natural magic cards often carry magic principles related to the challenged Shadow World that don't belong to the current era.
Therefore, natural magic cards mostly have a higher value than man-made epic cards of the same quality and rank.
Of course, this may be related to Lan Qi's final score of SSS being too outrageous. If it was a B-level or A-level score, it would be great to get a rare quality natural magic card.
Although Hyperion had seen her father, Duke Micah Alanzal's orange epic, this was the first time she had personally seen a natural epic-level magic card born in the Shadow World.
[Purgatory Sound]
[Category: Summon Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Rank: 3]
[Effect: Continuously consumes a large amount of mana to summon the demon souls of the Purgatory Theater, causing a purgatory wail that causes mental pain and stiffens the actions of all targets. The effect gradually increases in a confined space, and the effect gradually weakens in open terrain.]
[Note: The classroom restricted area of Purgatory Corridor Academy eventually became a terrifying legend that has been circulating in the demon world for more than 300 years.]
There is another chapter later, three updates today.
