Who told him to make the cards!

Wu Hui raised his head like a swan, his face full of pride:

"Of course, it's Your Highness, the Holy Maiden!"

"?"

"My steward delivered it to me personally!"

"..."

Chapter 39 "Wanhua"

Some people always seem to take long breaths when they talk.

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen Zhi really thought that Wu Hui's card case was also a gift from Shen Qinglian.

In the end, he was just a steward under Shen Qinglian.

That's fine.

However, the appearance of the second cartridge indicates that this is not an isolated case.

Rather, they are a vast number of individual cases.

I heard that there are a lot of people applying to the Blue Palace Academy this year. Could it be because of the card boxes sent by the Saintess Palace?

It seems that Her Highness is bypassing conventional channels and recruiting talent through her own methods...

Wu Hui was clearly one of them.

The key point is that this guy doesn't seem to have thought too much about it, and he's quite proud of it.

After asking about the origin of the card box, Chen Zhi didn't say anything more.

Wu Hui, however, started talking non-stop, firing off boastful remarks at him like a machine gun.

From the shape and workmanship of the card case to its effect and the symbolism of the patterns on the case.

Talkative and incessant.

Finally, there's a summary.

"In short, the deacon of the Saintess Palace has a discerning eye."

"He gave me a chance and allowed me to prove myself."

"Qinggong Academy is just the starting point for me."

"Although I am not yet qualified to be personally summoned by Her Highness the Saintess, it doesn't matter."

"I will work even harder in the future."

"Sooner or later, I will become the most amazing card maker in the Saintess Palace, and I will show Her Highness that she made the right choice!"

Chen Zhi: "..."

Zhou Keke: "..."

So exciting!

Her big toe was burning hot.

To prevent Wu Hui from continuing to plead, Zhou Keke quickly feigned surprise: "To actually be noticed by the steward of the Saintess Palace, that's amazing!"

"So, can we go pick up the acceptance letter now?"

"can."

Wu Hui was finally satisfied with the recognition he received and strode forward.

Zhou Keke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is really difficult to deal with...

To be honest, being able to connect with the Vatican is something to be proud of.

Not only will it be easier to get a permanent position, but there will also be opportunities to advance further and work for Her Highness the Holy Maiden.

Her Highness is a benevolent and kind-hearted woman who serves her country and people. Countless card masters yearn to be close to her and hope to gain her favor.

That card holder can be considered half a ticket to the Palace of Saintess.

With the same talent, Wu Hui's future is already far ahead of others.

Normally, Zhou Keke might genuinely believe that Wu Hui has a promising future.

But now that there's a gem like Chen Zhi before her, she feels it's just a card case from the Saintess Palace...

It's just so-so.

Before leaving, Chen Zhi looked back at the notice board one last time and asked the girl:

"Can I get these cards back after the public announcement period ends?"

The Tidal Arrow card he created is a combat card, and its power should be quite good; it can be used for self-defense.

"It's okay if you don't pass the exam, but it's not okay if you do pass."

Zhou Keke said, "The cards made by candidates each year when they pass the exam will be stored in the Wanjuan Tower."

"Firstly, it leaves a record; secondly, it makes it convenient for later visitors to come and see."

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Scrolls?"

"Look, that's it."

Zhou Keke pointed to the sky.

Behind the college square stands a tall tower.

Its lower half is blocked by several teaching buildings and cannot be seen, while its upper half resembles a square monument.

The outer shell is covered with various shaped Qingshi crystals in a jigsaw puzzle style, presenting a glass-like texture. Faint white smoke drifts out from the gaps where they are joined, like streaks of light that connect from top to bottom to outline a trapezoidal structure, combining the aesthetics of technology and cards.

"I should go and take a look when I have time," Chen Zhi said.

The main thing is to see where my work will be placed.

After all, it's a card from the Heavenly Principles faction; he won't accept anything too low-priced.

Besides the Ten Thousand Scrolls Tower, there are many other buildings in the academy that look very high-class at first glance.

Examples include the "∞"-shaped Card Pattern Research Institute, the Battle Card Master Training Ground resembling a giant ashtray, and the teaching building that looks like the Sydney Opera House...

Looking around, only the building used for the assessment was relatively simple, without many geometric elements.

At first, Chen Zhi thought that Qinggong Academy was a bit small.

It's not even as big as the campus of an average university on Earth.

He didn't even see a playground.

There are no dormitories either.

But as Zhou Keke explained things along the way, he realized that this was only the core main campus of Qinggong Academy.

Departments such as archaeology, astronomy, and classical Chinese poetry, as well as living areas such as dormitories, canteens, and hospitals, were all built outside the main campus.

On a larger scale, the entire Qingshan District, covering nearly 60 square kilometers, is the territory of Qinggong Academy.

The development of Qingshan District is no less impressive than that of the Outer Ring New City.

Located within the inner ring road, this area is bordered by Hengxi Lake to the north, the city center to the south, and the riverside upscale residential area to the east. It boasts a full range of amenities, including shopping malls and pedestrian streets, making it comparable to any other district.

Moreover, as a student of Qinggong Academy, you can get real discounts when you buy things.

Of course, this only applies to card-making materials.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

Under Wu Hui's guidance, Chen Zhi successfully obtained his admission notice.

And a blue feather pen badge representing the Blue Palace Academy.

"It's still early."

Wu Hui glanced at his watch and said, "I'm planning to buy some more card-making supplies, shall we go together?"

"Row."

Chen Zhizheng had this intention.

He'd been wanting to buy a card-making pen for a while.

Today's assessment used proper pens, like fountain pens, with ink that can be filled and flow from the nib.

He used a small wooden stick that he made himself from minerals and blades in the mining area. It looked just as ugly as the original claw clip and was even more shabby than a cheap carving knife.

The ink is applied by dipping.

Otherwise, that Tidal Arrow card wouldn't last more than half an hour.

He thought that after passing the assessment, a prestigious academy like Qinggong Academy would provide card-making students with a set of card-making tools, even if it was a standard one, so he could save some money.

The pen is quite expensive.

There was nothing there.
