Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 674: See the real - with tomorrow’s update (new book content)

The Yaya Boxing is truly sharp, a single set can degrade Li Qing to someone who's not even a man, narrow-minded.

This woman really has a sharp tongue.

Seeing Li Qing silent, Chen Chencheng chuckled lightly, "What, hit a sore spot?"

Li Qing said calmly, "Don't use your way of thinking to challenge normal people's intelligence."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and extended his hand.

Chen Chencheng's face slightly changed, "What, are you so mad you're about to hit someone?"

Li Qing took a napkin from the corner of the table to wipe his mouth, then sat back down.

"How could I dare touch you, I'm afraid I'd go broke buying hand sanitizer."

"You..."

"Waiter, check please!"

Looking at Chen Chencheng, whose face alternated between red and white, Li Qing said while paying, "Nice to meet you, I suppose we won't have anything to do with each other after this, no need to exchange contact info, this meal is on me."

"I don't need your charity!"

Chen Chencheng snorted coldly, asked the waiter for the amount, paid her half, and left without looking back with her bag.

Li Qing shrugged as he watched Chen Chencheng's back, paid his portion, ate a bit more of the side dishes, then leisurely walked out the door.

Don't know why, obviously supposed to be friendly talks, but with Li Qing, it always ends in bickering.

They were flirting; I was exchanging barbs.

Li Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh, dammit, is my negotiation ability this poor, is my emotional intelligence really in the negatives?

Standing at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, with hands in pockets and wearing a hat, just as Li Qing was about to turn and leave, his steps suddenly stopped as he looked at a silhouette.

He bent down to pick something up by the bushes and quickly moved forward, nervously asking, "Li Yue?"

The woman instinctively turned to look at Li Qing, full of confusion, "Are you calling me?"

Li Qing stood frozen, stared blankly at the unfamiliar face, then apologetically said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

With that, he turned and quietly left, tossing the half brick in his hand back into the bushes.

He used to be a simp, until that scumbag woman deceived him of both emotion and money, vanished into the vast crowd, never to be heard from again.

"The back does look so similar...."

Li Qing muttered, uncertain whether he felt regret or relief, patting the dust off his hands.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly he saw Chen Chencheng standing at the hot pot restaurant entrance, wide-eyed looking at everything Li Qing did.

Chen Chencheng: "What were you just doing?"

Li Qing without a change in expression, "Just greeting an acquaintance."

"Greeting someone with a brick?"

"Traditional culture, what's it to you!"

Chen Chencheng chuckled lightly, shook her head slightly, seeing Li Qing about to leave, couldn't help but shout, "Are you walking back?"

Li Qing glanced back at her, "Want to call a ride-share, at this hour you'll likely wait a long time, take your time waiting, I'll be on my way."

"Hey, hey, just because the blind date didn't work out doesn't mean we can't even have a small connection, right?"

"What connection, we only had a meal, and that was with your insistence on splitting the bill, it was just a group meal."

Here, Li Qing felt somewhat unhappy, at his age, with his financial situation, it's hard for any romance to happen, it's all about heading towards marriage, since it's unsuitable might as well end it early, no need for all this hesitance.

Chen Chencheng surprised, "Hey, I don't think our relationship is that bad."

"Of course, it's not that bad, see you 'fate' willing!"

Li Qing walked away without turning back, leaving Chen Chencheng calling out twice behind him, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Public matches, how different can they be?

"Damn it."

Chen Chencheng muttered at Li Qing's departing figure, face full of surprise, it was the first time she'd encountered such a situation.

"Could it be that after thirty, men really become so indifferent once they know there's no result?"

Chen Chencheng was a bit puzzled, this seemed to be a worthwhile research topic in psychology.

"Why are middle-aged men so indifferent!"

Actually, according to current international guidelines, human lifespan is getting longer, so thirty is still classified as youth, it's only after forty-five that one is considered middle-aged.

Paying no mind to her, Li Qing returned to his rental apartment and meditated for two hours, feeling the ever more bulb-like light cluster in his mind, a feeling of emergence growing stronger.

It felt a bit like being pregnant...

Li Qing rubbed his head, continued studying the contents of the book "Magic Theory".

Lost in reading until late night, only when his phone alarm went off did Li Qing come back to his senses, glanced at the time, 10 PM.

Finally, with a hint of reluctance, left the world of the book, ordered takeaway on his phone, casually played on his computer waiting for the delivery.

To be honest, if he had this kind of motivation back when he was studying, he'd already have gotten into Qinghua and Peking University.

Really too hasty, hadn't encountered what he truly liked.

Casually ate the takeaway, wore the Gray Robe, looked at himself in the floor-length mirror in the black robe.

"Feels like a member of an evil cult..."

Li Qing muttered, waiting for midnight to arrive.

Right on time, Li Qing stretched his hand to gently grasp the rental apartment door handle, as his mind gathered focus, the insignia magic pattern on his wrist quietly appeared, magic runes like chains flowed from his palm and the back of his hand into the door handle, forming a circular magic diagram.

It was engraved with teleportation magic runes, but some runes in the middle were intertwined, leaving Li Qing baffled.

Involving space, and quite a few magic runes Li Qing couldn't yet understand, since he hadn't learned them.

Although the meditation was successful, forming a meditation light cluster in his mind that greatly improved his agile thinking, in plain game terms.

His previous intelligence was 1, but after successful meditation, his intelligence increased by four points, making it five.

This kind of substantial enhancement not only gave Li Qing the ability to remember instantly, with a clear mind he could quickly grasp things.

This was a fundamental requirement as a mage, and essential for future research into advanced magic runes.

"Magic Theory" mentioned that many advanced magic runes, if demonstrated, would instantly disrupt an ordinary person's consciousness, causing insanity, madness, and even death.

To explain it thoroughly, it would be about increasing one's resistance, reducing san value loss.

Opening the rental apartment door, before him was surprisingly his safehouse in Gray Magic Academy. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Entering the safehouse, Li Qing's mind flickered, the light cluster in his mind gently rippled, then the extinguished fireplace 'wooshed' with a soft flame, instantly illuminating the whole room, bringing warmth and brightness spontaneously.

"Interesting..."

This mental control was quite magical, each practical operation experience gave him a feeling of having everything under control.
