Throughout the entire Southern Continent, a platinum-level card maker already commands considerable respect.

At times, when seeking to observe stone tablets from allied nations, they might agree unconditionally!

This is no longer a test for students or juniors, but a way to build relationships or invest in potentially talented card makers.

After all, no one dislikes getting to know a human card maker with the potential to create orange epic cards.

"As long as you create an orange epic card on the registered card maker exam, will you be ranked platinum?"

Lan Qi murmured.

At the same time, he began to think that he could go back to school and fleece Dean Loring.

Although he isn't good at making [Wind] magic cards.

But finding a stone tablet comes with credits and vacation time.

He also wants to try what it feels like to observe a stone tablet, in preparation for appraising the [Primordial Stone Tablet - Seal] in the future.

"Not exactly. According to the theoretical score range, creating an orange epic card doesn't necessarily guarantee platinum rank. It's more likely to be a gold rank with a lot of surplus promotion points… The reason you can be ranked platinum with just one epic card is because the comprehensive score of that card reached an extreme in artistry, directly allowing you to cross the platinum rank promotion line."

Lawrence answered Lan Qi's question while drawing numbers in the air with his fingers to represent Lan Qi's approximate score.

As the chief examiner, he isn't allowed to reveal these scoring details displayed in the backend terminal.

But hinting at Lan Qi isn't a big deal.

They are all from the Hutton Kingdom.

Lan Qi nodded silently, just staring at Lawrence's hand, listening quietly to Lawrence.

"However, Card Maker Lan Qi, card makers above gold rank need to go through a complicated review by the Card Maker Association headquarters before final approval, and the headquarters will make and grant you platinum-level accessories and licenses, and other items," Lawrence explained.

The usual promotion process for platinum-level card makers also includes an extremely difficult qualification exam.

Although Lan Qi's unconventional direct ranking can skip the platinum-level promotion exam, the corresponding procedures and face-to-face interview steps are indispensable.

"Because there was a serious incident in which a top card maker from the Church of Rebirth from the Northern Continent quickly infiltrated the high levels of the Card Maker Association, the review of platinum and magic crystal ranks has become particularly strict since then."

"Our Iqlith branch can only grant you temporary gold-level recognition for the time being, which will be sent to your address within three working days."

"In other words, unofficially, Card Maker Lan Qi, you are currently considered a quasi-platinum level. Of course, no one will really treat you as gold."

Lawrence and Lan Qi stood on the steps, their shadows casting a hazy reflection on the transparent steps, and their voices echoed slightly in the air.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence."

Lan Qi thanked him after listening to Lawrence's special explanation.

Lawrence meant that he and the gold level were already worlds apart.

But to become a true platinum level, a lot of complicated procedures and waiting time are still needed.

Lan Qi had never thought that he would reach the platinum-level card maker, which was beyond common sense, in one step.

Because the priority and discount for platinum-level purchases alone are far from the same level as gold-level card makers.

Even platinum-level and magic crystal-level card makers have a seat in the high-level meetings of the Card Maker Association.

Becoming a platinum-level card maker also means true fame.

You may receive commissions from many nobles in your own country or other countries, and you can receive extremely high rewards regularly just by hanging a card maker's license in a large commercial enterprise.

Similarly, you will be invited as a distinguished guest to large-scale events and high-level banquets of the Southern Continent Kingdom Joint Council.

If possible, Lan Qi hopes to pass the certification successfully before going to the Northern Continent.

Otherwise, if some things leave clues, it may be unclear if they are misunderstood.

"Mr. Lawrence, generally speaking, how long does this review process take?"

Lan Qi couldn't help asking.

"The average cycle is three months, and in your case, the card maker level has crossed too much in one step, it may take more than six months. In fact, the bizarre disappearance of Duke Micahia made the association once suspect that he had a tendency to defect, and even because of various signs, it was related to the Church of Rebirth, and even began to have an absurd rumor... saying that Duke Micahia Alanzar himself is a cardinal of the Church of Rebirth... so the headquarters will be particularly strict with the review of the Hutton Kingdom..."

Lawrence's voice gradually lowered, seemingly involving some secrets and impolite rumors about the Duke, and his words became more concise.

"But these voices are mainly fanning the flames in other countries that have never been friendly with the Hutton Kingdom. You don't have to worry, because they wouldn't be so outrageous as to fabricate news saying that you, Lan Qi Wilford, are secretly a cardinal of the Church of Rebirth, in order to hinder your platinum-level card maker status review."

On the suspended staircase, the two walked down while chatting.

Lawrence was obviously very indignant at those unscrupulous reporters and media.

He had dealt with Duke Micahia for a long time.

To say that this kind-hearted Duke is a cardinal is completely turning black and white upside down.

The only time Lawrence was surprised by Duke Micahia was when Duke Micahia harbored demons and married a demon wife.

"Although the review at the headquarters is getting stricter and stricter, please rest assured that our Iqlith branch will try our best to handle most of the procedures for you, and cooperate with the Magic Engineering Academy to help you deal with it properly, and try not to cause you any trouble."

Lawrence smiled and added to Lan Qi.

The Iqlith Card Maker Association has cooperated with the Magic Engineering Academy for many years, and both sides are very familiar with each other.

Lawrence remembered that Lan Qi's application information clearly stated the Iqlith Magic Academy.

He believes that when he passes this good news to Professor Bolaao, the dean of the Magic Engineering Academy, today, the professors of the entire Magic Engineering Academy will be very happy and excited and unable to sleep.

"..."

Lan Qi hesitated.

If he is indeed an excellent student of the Magic Engineering Academy, then the teachers of the Magic Engineering Academy will be proud of him.

But... he is from the Sage Academy.

He doesn't have much contact with the Magic Engineering Academy itself.

The only intersection may be that during the entrance examination, he helped the Magic Engineering Academy check out the security risks of the artificial Shadow World startup terminal, prompting Professor Bolaao of the Magic Engineering Academy to bring a scientific research team to repair it overnight.

"Will it... cause a little trouble to the teachers of the Magic Engineering Academy?"

Lan Qi said a little embarrassedly.
