The unbound ownerless magic cards were still in their sealed state, making it easy to determine their effects through identification magic.

  "Lanqi, before you use this card in the future, give me a heads up..."

  Huberrian felt that with Lanqi getting this card that could make everyone unhappy, teaming up with him in the future would be suffering again...

  The only thing Huberrian was grateful for was that she had now developed resistance to musical magic.

  "Alright."

  Lanqi nodded, gently reaching out to grasp the magic card emanating orange light.

  However, as he stared at this card, his brows furrowed slightly, seeming somewhat displeased.

  "What's wrong?"

  Huberrian asked puzzledly, "Is the effect not good?"

  "No, I think this card's name has too negative an impact. When I get back, I need to find a master to help me change its name."

  Lanqi said with a serious expression.

  In his previous life, his country had strict requirements and extremely high standards for harmonizing bloody and violent game text and illustrations.

  Lanqi personally was also very active in responding to such calls.

  "...What are you going to change it to?"

  Huberrian sensed something wasn't quite right.

  "Let's call it [Beautiful Notes]."

  Lanqi smiled calmly.

  Huberrian: "..."

  Originally this card didn't seem that crude, but with Lanqi changing its name, now it felt just right.

  Huberrian couldn't say anything more.

  She could only look with Lanqi at the remaining two purple halos, their one magic card each.

  The spell card before Lanqi seemed to be woven from human magic script—

  [Transformation: Demon]

  [Category: Spell Card]

  [Grade: Purple Rare]

  [Rank: 2]

  [Effect: After use, can change race to demon, without altering one's true attributes and facial features, cooldown 24 hours.]

  [Note: The final survivor of the Empire's infiltration team completed this ultimate disguise magic based on the Empire's experimental ground's forbidden surgery.]

  While the magic card before Huberrian emanated rich demonic aura—

  [Transformation: Human]

  [Category: Spell Card]

  [Grade: Purple Rare]

  [Rank: 2]

  [Effect: After use, can change race to human, without altering one's true attributes and facial features, cooldown 24 hours.]

  [Note: Inferno Corridor Academy developed this reverse disguise magic by reverse engineering the principles of the Empire's experimental ground's forbidden surgery.]

  "Hiss, is this Shadow World being sarcastic with me?"

  Lanqi looked at this [Transformation: Demon] with a somewhat strange expression.

  While Huberrian nervously caressed [Transformation: Human], seeming more excited than at any other time.

  For her, this was a card that could truly transform her into a human.

  Not like the simple illusion magic she usually maintained in the real world.

  Even according to the strength of [Transformation: Demon] being able to fool the demon academy's detection, its corresponding magic card [Transformation: Human] should also possess the ability to directly make her almost completely human except at the soul level!

  "Alright, great harvest, time to go back and get some good rest."

  With the spoils received, thinking about returning to Icerite Academy, the drowsiness from yesterday afternoon in the cssroom suddenly surged like waves through Lanqi's mind.

  He now just wanted to quickly return to the dormitory and sleep well until night.

  "Yes, rest early, although it's not early anymore."

  Huberrian said with a smile.

  Sometimes what might seem like just an ordinary day could actually be the best day of one's life.

  She felt very happy now, the feeling of days dragging on had completely vanished, and she even began to look forward to tomorrow's arrival.

  At the moment when the two were about to step towards the void gate to leave the threshold space.

  The settlement that they thought had ended dispyed new information, accompanied by blood-red text.

  [Series Shadow World — Blood Moon's Ruin, historical coordinates anchored, current completion 1/4.]

  [Before ending the series Shadow World, current challengers have a higher probability of entering "Blood Moon's Ruin" era Shadow Worlds.]

  [Next node immediately unlocked with SSS evaluation clearance.]

  [Mission objective: Clear the final node with SSS evaluation.]

  "?"

  "Blood Moon's Ruin...?"

  Both showed confused expressions at the suddenly appearing new settlement information.

  This vast world had many ancient eras.

  Hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, countless kingdoms rose and fell, heroes returned to dust forming history.

  With the gap in records from thousands of years ago, many earlier eras' records had disappeared.

  One could only obtain fragments through Shadow World's historical projections, and historians could deduce some historical appearances.

  The known earliest human history was about 20,000 years ago, called the "Holy Kingdom Demon Realm", an era of world creation, experiencing several holy wars, leaving many hero poems, and humans rising to glory.

  Although there were no relevant Shadow Worlds to prove how the Holy Kingdom fell in its final period, in the nearly 20,000 years since the "Holy Kingdom Demon Realm", there were also no Shadow Worlds to corroborate a lost era called "Blood Moon's Ruin".

  "By the way Huberrian, have you seen this kind of series Shadow World before?"

  Lanqi had neither heard of series Shadow Worlds in game content nor seen reted information in this world's books.

  "Ancient texts have recorded... if you successfully clear a Shadow World and get the highest evaluation, you might encounter it, but very few people reach this condition. Completing series Shadow World tasks to the final step is even more difficult than ascending to heaven. At least no one has successfully completed a series Shadow World task in the past thousand years."

  Huberrian hadn't expected that her first Shadow World with Lanqi would encounter this kind of hidden mission objective that only existed in legends,

  "However, compared to personal rewards, the historical intelligence value of such Shadow Worlds is actually more terrifying. For example, it was when humans discovered Shadow Worlds from the 'Holy Kingdom Demon Realm' era that they found many ways to fight demons from the ancient holy wars..."

  The defeat and destruction of demon kingdoms decades ago was inseparable from the intelligence human schors analyzed from mid-period Shadow Worlds of the "Holy Kingdom Demon Realm" era.

  "When you go back, if you report this hidden task information to the Shadow World Management Association or Magic Tower, they will beg you to challenge Shadow Worlds, as the academic value of lost era Shadow Worlds is immeasurable. But correspondingly, today's vampires will try every means to take your life."

  Huberrian said.

  They had turned off the recording function of [Shadow World Recording Program] when they arrived in this threshold space.

  Because the vast majority of challengers don't want their potentially trump card magic card rewards to be recorded.

  Today's vampires, though low-key and hidden in the south, are all great enemies of humans, their threat level even far exceeding demons.

  As the strongest individual beings, vampires possess unreasonable authorities and immortality. In one-on-one battles of the same rank, neither humans nor demons are matches for vampires. Even if they could win, they would ultimately be worn down to death.

  And this ancient Shadow World of the lost era "Blood Moon's Ruin" likely hides ways to deal with vampires.

  "Say no more, I'll pretend I never saw this hidden task."

  Lanqi waved his hand, walking towards the outside of the threshold space. He wouldn't be crazy enough to risk his life against vampires.

  "Yes, vampires haven't provoked us anyway."

  Huberrian also nodded, walking with Lanqi towards the void gate returning to the real world.

  Their opinions were very consistent - this hidden task absolutely could not be reported.

  As they were about to step into that flowing void mirror.

  "By the way Lanqi, there's one thing I still haven't figured out."

  Huberrian suddenly stopped, saying somewhat hesitantly.

  "What?"

  Lanqi turned back, asking.

  "In the art cssroom, what magic did you actually use to judge which paintings were by the professor and which were by students?"

  Huberrian looked at Lanqi with eyes full of confusion, seeming to have thought about it the whole way without finding an answer.

  "..."

  Lanqi first opened his mouth slightly in surprise, then revealed a crafty and brilliant smile,

  "For something so simple, why would I need to use magic?"
