VCRMM: Chapter 234

What was the entry progress for a card master?

Qing Yan looked at the system message and felt like she had sobered up. Could she only transfer to become a card master after the progress reached 100%?

She looked up at Lilith, her eyes sparkling.

Lilith also noticed this.

After Qing Yan came in, she taught seriously but she would occasionally look at the woman who suddenly came in.

At first, she thought this was a teacher from the academy. After all, the young woman looked older than 18. Then Lilith dismissed this once she started dozing off.

It was because these days, the academy teachers she came into contact with all had one characteristic. It was that they had a particularly strong thirst for knowledge.

After all, if a teacher wanted to listen to her class, they had to pass an application and go through a strict and complicated review by the academy. Therefore, every teacher who came to study was very serious.

As for the woman in front of her, it seemed this person wasn’t carefully listening to her lecture. The content might be somewhat profound for beginners, but this attitude still made Lilith unhappy.

However, Lilith didn’t say anything.

She now had many, many students. His Majesty Snow kept the agreement and allowed her to pass on the card knowledge to more people. She was very satisfied with the current status.

But it wasn’t known when it started, but the red-haired young lady stopped dozing off. Her eyes were shining with curiosity and she seemed to have completely entered the state.

Lilith nodded secretly and decided to give this young lady another chance.

She continued her lecture and selected some knowledge points that were more suitable for beginners but haven’t been learned by the students of this class yet.

Qing Yan was already very alert. She might not understand, but she still managed to write down what the blue-haired girl said. She even borrowed the pen and paper from the NPC next to her.

She wrote and drew. After around half an hour—

[Ding~ You have listened to the class of the card mentor ‘Lilith.’ The card master entry progress: 10%.]

F*k! Qing Yan’s eyes widened.

Was this a coincidence? Once she listened carefully to the class, her progress was so fast? 9% was gained in half an hour?

Qing Yan touched her chin. In the next half an hour, she relaxed again but still copied the notes that needed to be copied. Then—

[Ding~ You have listened to the class of the card mentor ‘Lilith.’ The card master entry progress: 12%.]

Okay, the speed of progress was really related to her paying attention to class! But since she copied the notes this time, it was 1% more than last time.

After the experiment, Qing Yan finally determined the correct direction of the strategy. Then once she mustered up the energy to continue to study seriously—

“Okay, that’s all for today’s class. Please go back and review it carefully. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask your classmates and communicate with each other. If you really can’t figure it out, just wait until the next class to ask me.”

Lilith announced the end of today’s lesson.

Yes, she wasn’t a diligent teacher who taught her students until they mastered it.

After all, card masters really looked at talent. After teaching a student like the emperor, who easily learned, it actually felt quite tiring to teach these students with average qualifications.

After two big classes a day, Lilith needed to replenish her energy, such as eating a small cake or something.

The only thing that bothered Lilith was that she was almost out of food in the kitchen. If the emperor and marshal didn’t come to see her, she would probably run out of food soon.

Lilith didn’t want to go back to the bitter days of struggling but she was too embarrassed to bother others.

So what should she do?

As Lilith was thinking on her own, the students in the classroom left one after another. In the end, only the red-haired woman was left.

Seeing her, Lilith remembered business.

The moment their eyes met, Qing Yan had already walked up to Lilith and bowed to her properly.

“Hello, respected mentor Lilith.”

Qing Yan didn’t look down on Lilith because of her age. She had known for a long time that in this game, the principle of being polite still prevailed.

Lilith nodded coldly. Then she asked, “Can I ask who you are?”

Qing Yan quickly showed her credentials.

“Hello, my name is Qing Yan. After many tests, I was allowed by the empire to learn card knowledge. I hope you can approve my request for a job transfer.”

Lilith took the voucher. She looked at it carefully and couldn’t help blinking.

She had seen this certificate. His Majesty Snow had mentioned it to her.

“So, you are a brave?” A trace of curiosity appeared in the girl’s calm eyes.

Qing Yan smiled slightly and said, “Yes, Teacher Lilith. I am a brave from another world. My companions and I just helped the Roland Empire resist the invasion of the beast wave.”

She wanted to improve her favorability through her achievements, but unfortunately, this blue-haired girl called Lilith still looked dull.

After all, Lilith had never seen the real situation of the Roland Empire. The beast wave… in her opinion, it wasn’t that difficult to deal with.

She looked at Qing Yan and said, “I heard His Majesty Snow say that the braves are a group of geniuses with extremely high qualifications. Each one of you has a super high talent?”

Hearing that the emperor commented on them like this, Qing Yan couldn’t help being overjoyed. Based on the relationship with His Majesty Snow, the job transfer must be stable!

Then she heard Lilith say, “You have just listened to most of the class, so I will test you.”

Qing Yan, “……”

Was this an exam? An on the spot interview?

Lilith had already continued to ask, “Answer me. What are the basic materials for making one star cards?”

Then she looked at Qing Yan, waiting for her answer with some anticipation.

The sweat on Qing Yan’s forehead was about to drip down.

She listened to class for an hour and a half, but she only listened carefully to the middle half an hour. But she had almost forgotten it now!

[Ding~ You are being assessed by Lilith. Please answer the question asked by Lilith within one minute.]

A system message emerged and the countdown began.

Qing Yan forced herself to calm down. She didn’t remember it but—called up the video she had recorded before!

She had an impression of the approximate time period of this knowledge point. She quickly pulled the progress bar and finally read out the answer in the last second of the countdown.

Lilith blinked. There was some surprise that the other person could repeat what was said in class word for word.

It seemed that it was really like what the emperor said. The braves were very talented!

She couldn’t help feeling a bit hopeful. Then she said, “You answered it very well. Then I will ask the next question.”

What? The next one?!!

Qing Yan almost cried, but she could only nod and accept the challenge.

In the end, she only answered three of the five questions that Lilith asked. This made Qing Yan feel very embarrassed.

She had always been a character who didn’t admit defeat. She even had a cheating tool like the video replay but actually answered two questions incorrectly. If this was done live, she would be laughed at by the audience!

Lilith thought it was okay. She knew that this brave called Qing Yan didn’t listen carefully at first. The questions she couldn’t answer were indeed all taught at around that time.

“I can let you stay and listen to the class. Once you can answer all the questions I ask, I will let you stay as an apprentice.”

The apprenticeship stage was where the foundation was laid. If she could answer all the questions then she was almost ready to advance to a trainee card master.

But whether she could advance in the end or not depended on luck.

Qing Yan hadn’t expected Lilith to let her stay, so she was happy.

As long as she listened carefully in the next few days, she would soon be able to reach 100% progress. Completing the job transfer assessment should be no problem!

At this time, Lilith spoke again.

“The power of a card master and elementalist doesn’t conflict, but human energy is limited. I still hope you will think carefully about which path you want to take.”

Qing Yan couldn’t help being stunned. “You mean that after changing to become a card master, the elementalist’s skills can still be used?”

Lilith paused. It should be possible based on the emperor’s situation, but she didn’t have a deep understanding. This meant she couldn’t answer rashly.

“You will find out later,” she said indifferently.

Qing Yan had no choice but to give up. She was thinking about what to do next and if she could improve her favorability with the mentor in front of her. Then she saw the girl looking at her with a pair of blue eyes, somewhat ignorant and innocent.

Ah, so cute!

She smiled and said, “Teacher Lilith, do you have any other instructions?”

“Besides the voucher, don’t you have anything else you want to give me?” Lilith asked.

“Eh? What else?”

Lilith saw that she was really confused and couldn’t help frowning in disappointment. “His Majesty Snow said that the braves will come to me with certificates and gifts. It seems that only half of it is true.”

Gift?

Qing Yan thought of something and quickly flipped through the taskbar. Then she saw a line of small words at the bottom of the last process.

[If you can bring a small gift, you might be able to please Lilith.]

She hadn’t noticed this line before because it was at the bottom and very inconspicuous!

“What gift would you like?”

She said, “I don’t know what you like, so I wanted to ask you before going back to prepare it.”

“Really? Are you really going to give me a gift?” Lilith stared at her attentively.

Qing Yan nodded very seriously. “Of course, it would be my honor to give a gift to Teacher Lilith.”

The girl burst out laughing.

She said, “I would like a cup of oolong milk tea. I heard from the students that this thing called milk tea is very delicious. Can you bring me a cup when you come tomorrow?”

Seeing her shallow smile, Qing Yan naturally agreed wholeheartedly. She thought this little mentor was a bit aloof before. Unexpectedly, the girl’s smile was so cute.

Qing Yan opened her eyes when she came out of the card illusion and saw that she was back in the big classroom from before. She was still sitting at that desk.

Then she looked at her hand. The voucher she just gave to Lilith was back in her hand.

Out of some intuition, Qing Yan quickly flipped through the system’s records and saw a reminder.

[You have entered Lilith’s card illusion world.]

Qing Yan couldn’t help being stunned. Had she entered an illusion world just now?

She thought about it and couldn’t help asking the NPC students around her what was going on. Why did she have to enter an illusion world while listening to class? Was there any inconvenience?

“Don’t you know? Teacher Lilith lives in a card illusion world. There is no way for her to leave.”

Seeing that she was a brave, the student who was questioned had a good attitude.

“You mean, Teacher Lilith lives in an illusion? Then… is she real?”

Qing Yan was stunned. She looked at the voucher in her hand and thought of the most important question. How could she bring milk tea into an illusion world?
