Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 710: See you tomorrow (new book content)

Li Qing turned his head and walked away, but suddenly heard the sound of the crowd around him making a fuss.

"Yeah, just like that, strip her clothes!"

"Girl, don't be a coward, pull off her pants!"

Li Qing quickly turned around and squeezed into the crowd. He wanted to see if these people really dared to do such indecent acts in broad daylight.

Half an hour later, Li Qing looked regrettably at the two girls being separated by the police and put into a police car.

What a pity, just one more step to go.

He turned with his hands behind his back and slowly dispersed with the crowd that had nothing more to see.

In this day and age, being the one to intervene would mean getting nothing but trouble from both sides, and might even make yourself a target.

Inappropriate, inappropriate.

Li Qing had done such a stupid thing when he was young and impulsive, and ended up being resented by both parties, never to be in contact again.

After taking a stroll in the park like a man in his sixties or seventies, digesting his food, Li Qing leisurely turned back to his rented room and began studying the contents of "Magic Theory" carefully.

According to the book, Shaping Magic is considered the most basic and low-level application among the nine major magic attributes. Many advanced mages disdain using Shaping Magic, whether in combat or for other uses.

"Because Shaping Magic can be explained logically, and even its essence can be understood as scientific magic. It can't be considered Miracle Magic, no matter how powerful the magic in the Shaping Series is. It's just a way of utilizing energy and elements. Battles between mages are more of a silent competition, involving curses, Word Spirits, evil..."

Seeing this part of the explanation, Li Qing couldn't help but start snacking.

The so-called Shaping Series is much like fireball technique, ice arrow technique kind of elemental magic in novels, utilizing one's own magic power to evoke the ambient energy in the cosmos and arrange it in a pattern to materialize power.

But it must be said that Shaping Magic is indeed powerful with the most variations. However, if two mages who look down on using Shaping Magic were to fight, the biggest scene might be them glaring at each other, chanting curses while gesturing, yet no extraordinary powers would be seen appearing...

Reading this part, Li Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud. It kind of resembled the culture in his village back home, where Rou Si and Jack were fencing...

Although Shaping Magic is powerful, it's somewhat superfluous in battles between mages. While you're muttering spells and gesturing to cast a fireball technique, the opponent skillfully curses you, causing an instant splitting headache and collapse. The just-conjured fireball technique spirals out of control and explodes, burning you instead...

So, in this case, Defense Magic becomes very necessary, whether it's for defending against energy form magic attacks or attacks from unknown methods, be it from the Law of Cause and Effect or regulations.

Knowing what it is but not why it is.

Although many magical powers seem unbelievable, even downright impossible.

But the true intent of magic is to make the impossible possible, which is the ultimate goal.

Of course, this is something only mages who have found the ultimate root of truth are qualified to explore. For now, as far as Li Qing is concerned, only by refining his magic power can he truly cross over to become a mage with extraordinary power.

Time silently slipped away, and when the alarm on his phone rang, Li Qing reluctantly emerged from the ocean of knowledge.

Glancing at the time, it was four in the afternoon, the time for a blind date arranged by the administrative manager lady.

According to the location given, he arrived at a hotpot restaurant, pulling his clothes tighter and exhaling visible breath.

Due to the cold snap, the weather in Shu Capital became increasingly freezing.

Entering the hotpot restaurant, reaching table number 14, Li Qing glanced at the woman sitting there.

With fluffy short hair, large almond eyes that looked very spirited, soft lines on her cheeks added warmth, and her posture was quite proper, she seemed to value this blind date very much, particularly with a touch of makeup.

A very pretty girl with good manners, clearly from a nice family, though he didn't know the brands of the necklace and watch she wore, their exquisite nature indicated they were valuable.

With just a couple of looks, Li Qing already crossed her out in his mind. Having self-awareness has always been the best way for him to recognize his positioning.

He was past the age of unrealistic fantasies, thinking fairy tale events could happen in reality, having been beaten down by society, he understood that reality is just reality.

The fixed hierarchy was already laid out before people.

The other party had a good family background, and a hint of sharpness in her eyes let him know she wasn't the meek little lamb type.

Having anticipated this, Li Qing already decided to treat it as just having a meal. It had been a long time since he last went out for hotpot.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, that administrative manager lady really wasn't considerate. If she was acting as a matchmaker, she shouldn't make random pairings. She was a manager, yet lacked even this much perceptiveness?

Or perhaps...

"Hello, Chen Chencheng, right?"

Chen Chencheng looked up at Li Qing, her big eyes darting, quickly scanning him up and down, then extended her hand, "Yes, you're Li Qing, right?"

"I am."

Li Qing nodded and shook her hand, then they both sat down, and after ordering dishes,

Chen Chencheng went straight to the point, "Shall I just get straight to the point, okay?"

Li Qing, who was blanching tripe, wasn't surprised and nodded, "Please do."

"Do you have a car?"

"...A while ago, the bike chain broke, so I left it in the rented room and haven't touched it since."

Li Qing casually replied, his attention entirely focused on the tripe held between the chopsticks.

Hmm, it's about ready to eat, tripe is best eaten crunchy, just a few seconds dunked in and out.

Retrieving the tripe, dipping it in oil sauce and putting it in his mouth, Li Qing felt satisfied.

Not bad.

Chen Chencheng noticed, seeing Li Qing's inattentive demeanor focused on eating hotpot, she frowned slightly, then relaxed and continued following the predetermined questions she had searched online before.

"Do you have savings then?"

"Got savings of over two hundred thousand."

Thirty years old, if you work earnestly after graduation and save some on daily needs, it's possible to save this much in about seven or eight years.

He was ready for a down payment on a second-hand apartment in Shu Capital. Even though the house wasn't great, the surrounding facilities were mature and the price was affordable, very suitable for him.

He had always regretted not meeting a girl he could work together with, but without regrets, life's hardly called life.
