Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 659: See the truth in 2 hours (leisure new book content)

With the other's teasing tone, Li Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and finally he calmly said: "Or we could add each other on WeChat?"

Hearing this, Chen Chencheng smiled and did not refuse: "Sure!"

After exchanging WeChat, they chatted casually for a while. Just as they were about to leave, Chen Chencheng suddenly said, "I remember there's a newly released movie that's quite good. Want to go see it?"

Li Qing instinctively shook his head: "I have things to do when I get back. Besides, with the seasonal flu, there are too many gatherings lately. I'm leaving."

Then he left Chen Chencheng looking completely bewildered.

Quickly returning home, Li Qing once again confirmed the system recognition progress had jumped to five percent, then he exhaled deeply and continued spreading out the parchment to study the book "Magic Theory."

Although Zhuang Xu seemed malicious, the magic book he authored is truly packed with useful content. Some tips on using magic power were refreshing for him.

It turns out magic power can be used in such ways.

It saved him a vast amount of time.

Once again donning his hood to enter the safe house of Gray Magic Academy for continued study, Li Qing paused when he saw the introduction to the next chapter in the book.

"If a mage's body is too weak, it will greatly affect their phase advancement, so come learn about trading with devils. They will transform your bodies, making them incredibly strong, while also bringing powerful magic..."

Li Qing looked back over it several times, repeatedly confirming, finally concluding that this is completely just a pyramid scheme.

This chapter is filled with the temptation of power throughout. If Li Qing hadn't been baptized by web novels and inundated by mindless marketing articles, he might truly have been led astray.

He increasingly confirmed that Gray Magic Academy is absolutely not a proper magic academy, but an existence that lures people to fall into the abyss.

What the heck...

Li Qing cursed in his heart, temporarily tossed the Magic Theory book aside, wandered aimlessly in the safe house for a while, then went to the second floor, lay on the bed and meditated for two hours. After continuing to refine and enhance his magic power, he went downstairs back to his rental room in reality and ordered four portions of fried rice.

Stuffed with food, Li Qing held his belly and continued back to the safe house, picking up the study of Demon Summoning from Magic Theory.

No way around it, the addiction is too strong.

Demon Summoning still requires depicting an array, then injecting magic power to summon the devil, but if skilled enough, one can directly summon the devil by communicating with magic nodes to link Alternate Space.

But wanting to consume everything the devil brings is beyond what he can accept now.

For now, this summoning magic can't be touched.

Time flowed like water, always passing as Li Qing indulged in magic research. On the day before the Spring Festival holiday, the identification progress of the magic simulation system module at the bottom right corner finally reached one hundred percent.

Then, nothing happened.

Li Qing grinned, continuing to lay a new motherboard on himself, then identified it.

Cpu, memory, motherboard, how could the most basic core components of a computer be missing.

After estimating progress, it should just about finish after the new year.

As for magic practice, his current Mage's Hand magic can already be released in three seconds and maintained for two hours. With increasingly skilled usage, Li Qing could feel more clearly the coarseness of the Mage's Hand magic.

It could be more refined, more efficient.

But Li Qing dared not attempt any experimental corrections or optimizations in research, even though this approach is much like deriving mathematical formulas and optimizing layers of code and bug fixes, his life is precious.

Magic Theory has emphasized many times that if someone attempts to create or modify a magic without enough accumulated magical knowledge, it will most likely end up with their head exploding like a watermelon.

So currently, he can only keep practicing magic, meditating, and studying other books while asking his questions at each month's magic set class.

"Master Rosen, I would like to ask, when I'm using Mage's Hand, I feel the twelve magic nodes connecting to Mage's Hand seem to be making unnecessary contributions. They are respectively..."

In a set class early in February, Li Qing raised his doubts.

Rosenberg was quite surprised: "I didn't expect your magical talent to be quite good, seems like humans turning thirty can indeed have an unparalleled talent for becoming mages."

Li Qing chuckled twice without speaking, anticipating Rosenberg's explanation.

Despite Rosenberg having malice packed toward the students, he explained: "Originally Mage's Hand was created for mages to conveniently handle objects, and after optimizing the magic to be usable and have some practical significance, it was never studied further."

"Why?" Li Qing couldn't help asking.

"Why?" Rosenberg laughed, stroking his catfish moustache and said: "This is merely a Level 0 Trick after all; advanced mages don't care for it, while the apprentices who need to learn this magic lack the ability. Moreover, the creation of magic and optimization of a magic isn't so easy, maybe one day when you advance to Legend, accumulate enough experience and knowledge, perhaps you can try to optimize a magic, or even create your own."

Pausing for a moment, he slowly said: "Looks like your progress is good, then if a mage wants to accumulate, I think you should go to the library and find the magic book 'Complete Level 0 Tricks.'

"Thank you for the tip, Master!"

Rosenberg was quite pleased with Li Qing's respectful words, he nodded slightly, looking up at everyone, clapped his hands, and said: "Alright everyone, after two more set classes we will have an apprentice exam, hope you're making ample preparations."

The sudden announcement made everyone's feet stop right before leaving, someone asked: "Master Rosen, may I ask what the apprentice exam content is?"

"It's a secret!"

Rosenberg's blurred features revealed a mocking smile: "But I can remind you, the rules of every world are different, so if you can't analyze them, you'll only be able to use magic. So, prepare thoroughly."

The smile on his face couldn't help but make Li Qing feel a shiver up his spine, what exactly is all this malice about.

The last of those profound words made Li Qing inwardly shudder further, fearing this exam might be deadly.

Subconsciously touching the motherboard closely attached to his chest, he quickly left the classroom, activated the school badge, then followed its guidance to the library.

Rosenberg gave him excellent advice, now that the basic magic theory knowledge is learned, then keep on practicing magic, using it more will qualify him to analyze the essence.
