Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 679: See the real - tomorrow (new book content)

"Forty-seven bucks."

After calculating the utility bills swiftly, Li Qing pondered for a moment. With only two months left on the lease for this rental property, he needed to move out.

Buy a house!

This was his long-cherished wish ever since he joined society, worn out his passion and enthusiasm, and had his edges smoothed by life.

He took out his phone and checked it.

Thirty years old, living frugally, and saving up to about two hundred eighty thousand now.

In some areas of Shu Capital, he could purchase a small, old second-hand house, albeit run-down and small, still a place of his own to call home.

Putting these thoughts aside for now, donning a black robe and returning home, Li Qing opened his panel and took a look.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Intelligence: 4

Physical Strength: 0.8

Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level), Mage's Hand (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1), Wise Man's Time

Character Evaluation: Dammit, I can't get out! That damn cunning fiend, Gray's lackey!"

Hmm, more talent with Wise Man's Time?!

And this character evaluation, could it possibly be the devil's confession?

After ranting for a while, Li Qing became quite curious about Wise Man's Time. With a slight mental shift, the introduction of Wise Man's Time quickly enlarged.

"Wise Man's Time: A talent skill gained from being single for thirty years since the womb. Recently activated real-man talent due to frequent use of Dragon-Catching Pillar-Hugging Skill, a passive skill, can greatly increase magic casting time, enhance magic learning ability, and improve one's agility in thinking.

Evaluation: You cursed human, do you think you're the never-ending protagonist?!"

A period of not checking his attribute panel indeed gave him quite a surprise; no wonder he felt like he was much faster at deriving formulas in math recently, and researching magic also seemed to have picked up speed.

If he can research whether this talent can be upgraded, wouldn't that be even more monstrous?

After jumping around for a while and getting his body warmed up, Li Qing, panting heavily, continued to study 'Mage's Hand'.

From a fresh mathematical perspective, Li Qing thought that this magic power flow process, though node-linking,

the procedures of analysis, construction, solidification, and release are very similar to code operation.

Although his work involves very little code development, only creating some small operational tools, now with a clear mind, and the increased agility in thinking provided by Wise Man's Time, he gained new insight into Mage's Hand, this Level 0 Magic.

Perhaps, he could attempt to alter some magic flow nodes to use a more efficient Mage's Hand.

Li Qing, though eager to try, ultimately restrained his impulse, being that he had barely scratched the surface regarding magical knowledge.

Magical knowledge is vast as the sea, and he has only touched a minor fragment beneath the iceberg.

If a spatial explosion of magic occurs, his head would implode instantly.

If only his system could perform a spiritual space simulation!

Li Qing exhaled deeply, just about to continue practicing Mage's Hand, when his gaze suddenly froze; he discovered a system progress bar unexpectedly appeared at the bottom right of his vision.

What the hell?

Could it be that his previous thoughts were detected by the system?

Li Qing opened his character panel once more.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Intelligence: 3

Physical Strength: 0.8

Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level), Mage's Hand (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1), Wise Man's Time.

Evaluation: Dammit! That damned cunning fiend, Gray's lackey! I absolutely will not help you with anything! No way! You can't command me in anything!

Magic Simulation System Module Construction Progress: 0.1% (Please try to construct independently)"

Magic Simulation Module?!

Could it be that the devil summoned has transformed into a gold finger system due to inner desire, but remains in the most initial stage, needing active expansion?

How to expand?

Li Qing pondered for a long while, mentally opening the Magic Simulation System Module, finding it entirely pitch-black, vacant, devoid of anything.

What should be done?

He needs to attempt to construct independently...

Li Qing sighed helplessly; from a magical standpoint, he's completely clueless. Wanting to construct the magic simulation module through magic is simply wishful thinking.

Perhaps he could do it this way...

Without the interest to practice Mage's Hand, returning to his rental, Li Qing opened the computer and located Python's open-source code editor.

Upon finding it, looking at the lines of code, Li Qing hit a snag; the devil-turned-system doesn't recognize binary, showing him only a blank field.

Though a pure white canvas available to be sullied, if poorly nurtured, this system would be doomed.

Then the problem arises, how to modify the system module to become binary-recognizable. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

So the open-source Linux system (similar to the Windows system, just one is proprietary and closed, the other open-source.)

Li Qing again found the public source code of Linux, contemplated briefly, and adeptly leaped over the wall to find the binary layer code of Linux's source.

Previously during work breaks, while learning Linux usage, he had curiously explored the lowest level of binary operation.

Li Qing excitedly opened it, only to suddenly discover a problem, his system hardware supposedly doesn't support it!

These systems operate entirely based on computer hardware; his system lacks hardware facilities, how to identify?!

Must he study computer hardware principles and simulate computer operations?

Li Qing was genuinely stumped.

After practicing Mage's Hand for two rather uninteresting hours, Li Qing turned around to immerse himself in reading 'Magic Theory' regarding Level 0 magic and essential magical knowledge.

Four hours later, Li Qing raised his head somewhat irritatedly; indeed, without resolving this matter, even studying magic feels somewhat unfocused.

After pondering for a moment, Li Qing slapped his thigh, gnashing his teeth.

"Mad, it's just the computer hardware layer, let's do it! How would I know if I don't try!"

On the next day's work, after handling some work affairs, diligently monitoring server and system status for normalcy, he then opened the computer, gazing dazedly at the screen.

Honestly, although he can assemble a computer, he hasn't truly studied what components are fundamentally required.

Cpu, motherboard, memory, from the most basic to the finished product, everything represents the pinnacle of modern human society technology, the crystallization of human wisdom.

And the cpu can be seen as the evolution of sand, the motherboard more as circuit integration, memory cards undergo hundreds of processes...

Even if killed, he could never accomplish it!!

Is there any compromise?!
