The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

......

Dekan and Cornelia arrived at the building early, twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time.

They both seemed to be the type who didn't want to keep the other waiting.

Dekan: "Are you ready?"

Cornelia: "Alright."

Since we're here early, let's go in first.

The two exchanged a knowing glance; no further words were needed.

Just as the two were preparing to pass through security and enter the next layer of protection.

"and many more!"

A dry voice sounded behind them.

They turned around and saw an old man hurrying towards them.

The two looked at the old man with slight doubt.

His clothes are the yellow of the Alchemy Institute, so he looks like a professor there.

"Dekan, Cornelia, I am Professor Murgut, who is in charge of managing the broadcasting studio at the Alchemy Institute. If you would like, I would appreciate it if you could accept this card!"

Professor Murgut walked up to the two men, took two cards from the file bag in his hand, and handed them to them.

The card had a faint purple glow, and it didn't look like an ordinary thing.

"This is?"

Dekan didn't accept the card rashly, and asked with some doubt.

"Shadow World Viewing Program, Tier 1 Magic Card, purple quality because it's an ultra-high definition version."

Professor Murgut explained.

Similar to team cards, these are spell cards with passive effects.

With it, even if they enter a non-artificial shadow world, the Alchemy Institute can still obtain real-time footage of Dekan challenging the shadow world.

The most significant technologies in the last decade or so have been “artificial shadow world” and “shadow world viewing program”.

Artificial shadow worlds can create harmless worlds to provide training models.

The Shadow World viewing program can help logistics personnel outside the battlefield collect intelligence in the Shadow World more efficiently.

For example, information obtained in some Shadow Worlds may be useful in other Shadow Worlds!

Therefore, information science in other worlds has become a popular subject.

The development of magical engineering has also led to a continuous increase in the success rate of conquering the Shadow World.

"But wouldn't that take up our space?"

Dekan also doesn't really like being watched by people.

"It will indeed slightly affect your combat effectiveness, but there will be revenue sharing from the live stream. The specific contract is here. Whether you accept it or not is up to you, so don't be nervous."

Professor Murgut smiled gently and handed the two documents from the file bag to Dekan.

Cornelia glanced at the document symbolically, then looked at Dekan.

She didn't understand; she listened to Dekan.

Dekan hesitated for a moment, then accepted the two viewing passes, but handed the contract back to Professor Murgut.

"Professor Murgut, this time we will bring our spectator program with us and will not require any payment. How about we discuss the specifics of the contract after we have completed our exploration of this Shadow World?"

Despite the generous profit-sharing ratio, Dekan did not choose to sign immediately.

If their campaign to conquer the Shadow World is very successful, they might be able to negotiate better contract terms upon their return.

Furthermore, after this Shadow World event concludes, Dekan intends to go home and thoroughly examine whether these two [Shadow World Viewing Programs] have any hidden effects.

Therefore, signing the contract now due to the lure of profit is not the best decision.

Let's treat it as a collaboration where we mutually affirm each other's value.

Ever since that unscrupulous merchant taught him a lesson, he has become extremely cautious in his business dealings.

"No problem, no problem."

Professor Murgut readily agreed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Professor Murgut left.

While explaining the situation to Cornelia, Dekan and she went through security together.

They walked to the deepest part of the passage and came to a grand hall that radiated a deep blue light.

In the center of the main hall, several enormous magical artifacts guarded a void gate.

It's somewhat similar to the scene I saw during my entrance exam, except this "door" is dozens of times larger than the door in the artificial world of film.

It inevitably evokes a sense of awe towards the mysterious realm.

However, there is still a considerable distance to this giant natural void gate; it serves as a buffer zone and service area for conquerors.

"Take it."

Dekan handed a stack of cards to Cornelia.

It includes three identical blue equipment cards, one purple equipment card, several blue and white cards, and the spectator program card from earlier.

"No, no!"

Cornelia noticed the quality of the cards and quickly waved her hand in refusal.

She can't afford such an expensive card right now.

"I won't charge you."

"Do not......"

"Consider it a loan from me."

"It will...it will break..."

Cornelia was worried that she would damage the weapon Dekan had given her.

"I can fix it, don't worry. Your combat strength is the most important thing in the Shadow World. Just think of it as protecting me, you need to be stronger too."

Dekan's words made Cornelia hesitate for a moment, but she still took the stack of cards.

Since Dekan has said so, she has no reason to refuse.

"it is good."

With gratitude, she unbound all the previous equipment cards and stored them on the counter, then bound all the cards that Dekan had given her.

There aren't many martial artists who can repair their own equipment cards.

It seems that Dekan is more talented than she imagined.

"Cornelia, are you ready?"

"Ah."

Dekan stretched his limbs and walked towards the Void Gate with Cornelia.

Stepping into the giant void gate felt no different from entering the artificial shadow world before.

It was completely dark; you couldn't see anything.

However, he could sense that Cornelia was right beside him.

Besides his own heartbeat, he could also hear her breathing.

Soon, the surroundings lit up slightly, and the scene filled Dekan's field of vision in an instant.

here it is......

Dekan observed the scene.

The place he was in looked like a classroom?

Why did he use the word "seems"?

Because this classroom looks too eerie.

Despite being a spacious classroom of about 200 square meters, it felt unusually dark and oppressive.

The only source of light was a few lamps hanging on the walls of the classroom.

Dekan looked down and saw a parchment with a devil pattern and a set of black stationery on the desk in front of him.

He raised his head slightly again and scanned the room, observing a group of strange-looking people sitting in the classroom.

They come in all sorts of bizarre shapes, most of them have horns and black tails, and some even have strange patterns on their skin.

Meanwhile, two men who looked ominous were patrolling the aisle between the desks.

Although they were dressed in clothes similar to suits, they exuded a strong smell of blood and an evil aura like that of a swamp.

Those blood-red eyes could not hide their greedy and bloodthirsty gleam, as if everything they saw was their prey.

This was a nightmare scene.

But Dekan had to admit, the classroom was quite stylish.

A horror cafe set during a school festival would likely be very popular.

Unfortunately, this world of film is clearly not a lighthearted and enjoyable theme.

Soon, information about the Shadow World appeared before his eyes.

This is a notification that is only visible to "Shadowworld Challengers".
