Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 485: See the truth in 2 hours (Leisure new book content)

"Holy crap..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Li Qing had lost count of how many times he'd said "holy crap" today. The events unfolding were on the verge of shattering his worldview. However, having endured countless hours of novels and web literature, he quickly adjusted his mindset and turned his attention to the parchment scroll spread out on the table.

So, a click opens the book.

Li Qing reached out, gently touching the book "Magic Origin," and watched the text at the top of the parchment scroll begin to quickly change and rearrange. Those black lines wriggled like tiny black tadpoles, constantly shifting.

In just about ten seconds, the content atop the worn-looking leather scroll transformed from an admission notice to a display resembling an e-book.

The first time he opened it, there were even preliminary operation tips. If not for Li Qing knowing that current flexible screen technology was nowhere near this level, he'd have truly thought it was a prank by those with too much time on their hands.

After flattening the crumpled parchment made of unknown material on the table, he calmed his excitement, went to the bathroom to relieve himself, washed his face with cold water to sober up, and then sat upright at the desk, ready to read carefully.

"Magic exists in all things in the world, but originates from God. It is the science recorded by a God observing the Cosmos from a perspective beyond mundane life and understanding the laws of the Universe. When God nodded off, the knowledge carrying Magic was discovered by intelligent beings and eventually obtained by humans, studied, used, thoroughly researched, and understood at their source.

Like the primordial light, the stars in the Cosmos constantly emit endless light and heat, life, and destruction, but how are they formed, and how should we use them..."

Li Qing read until past three in the morning, rubbing his dry eyes with reluctance before placing the parchment scroll aside.

He had only read twenty or so pages of the book "Magic Origin," with another 1,320 pages remaining. But from his initial understanding, Magic isn't like in web novels, where countless wandering elements exist between heaven and Earth, or energy, which is extracted as Magic Power to cast spells.

To him, Mages are more akin to a system that explores the natural world purely through oneself, abandoning external tools using one's Spirit.

The book "Magic Origin" completely narrates every natural physical phenomenon in the world and explains how it operates and forms from a Magic viewpoint.

Just like light, from a scientific perspective, it's broadly defined as electromagnetic radiation of all solar spectra; the daylight we usually see is filtered through Earth's atmosphere.

But how is this light formed? Generally speaking, it's caused by hydrogen turning into helium in stars. Delving deeper, why do fusion reactions continually occur within stars...

In the Magic view, these result from the constant decay of energy density and the attenuation of ultra-high quality Energy Levels, liberating massive energy.

The scientific side also posits this view, releasing energy as Energy Levels fall.

Magic and science have many similarities in their exploration of the Universe.

He still didn't feel sleepy, and when encountering something of particular interest, people often possess immense enthusiasm.

After temporarily closing "Magic Origin," Li Qing focused on "Basic Meditation Technique." With a gentle tap, the symbols quickly transformed and content reappeared.

Li Qing spent thirty minutes meticulously reading the content, less than a thousand words, along with an accompanying Meditation Image, a sphere created from countless intersecting lines, emitting a faint glow. Just staring at it briefly, this sphere of woven lines deeply imprinted into his mind.

A three-dimensional image even formed in his mind, expanding and contracting with his will...

How impressive is this?!

Li Qing found it rather amazing. Regarding this as Magic, he had no doubt; this technique that imprints itself into his mind with one glance is simply too extraordinary.

Looking at the pattern again, the Meditation Image no longer emitted a faint glow, showing no abnormalities.

It seems like a one-time Magic.

Feeling a burst of excitement, Li Qing clenched his fists and pounded the bed a few times to release energy.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch...

"Keep it down, there's a single dog here!"

Hearing the distressed shout from next door, Li Qing forced himself to stop.

The place he rented wasn't the best with poor soundproofing. Even slight noise could be heard next door.

Ensuring there was no mistake, he lay flat on his bed, closed his eyes slightly, submerged his mind, and gradually fell into a nebulous state...

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled with a touch of helplessness. Modern society's material abundance bombards everyone with vast and complex information, with all sorts of oddities. Completely clearing these thoughts from one's mind is delusional.

It's simply impossible.

After contemplating for a while, Li Qing checked the time; it was already past four in the morning, and since he didn't feel sleepy, he sat at his computer.

Waking the computer from sleep, he quietly opened his hidden folder...

Twenty minutes later, Li Qing wore an expression of indifference. Aside from feeling slightly worn out, he showed a wise Saint-like gaze, released the mouse, and calmly sat on the bed, thoroughly emptying his soul as he began to slowly sketch lines in his mind according to the Meditation Image from "Basic Meditation Technique."

Sketching lines starts by constructing one's origin point, which "Basic Meditation Technique" calls the primordial, akin to a Cosmic singularity, slowly birthing one's small Cosmos.

Gathering his origin point and sketching the first line seemed entirely unchallenging, easily reaching the standard described in "Basic Meditation Technique."

The entire sketching and envisioning process was smooth due to the lack of distractions, resulting in an intensely focused Spirit.

It wasn't until the phone alarm rang that Li Qing reluctantly opened his eyes, and as he was about to get up, a severe headache suddenly struck, making him fall straight to the floor.

After groaning on the ground for quite a while, during which sounds like firecrackers came from next door, Li Qing slowly managed to prop himself up.

After finally crawling back onto his bed, he looked at the content on the parchment with bloodshot eyes.

This "Basic Meditation Technique" requires immense mental energy before forming the Light Ball, with even the inscription of a single line exhausting enormous Spirit, resulting in Li Qing's current state.
