Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 515: See the real deal tomorrow at noon (new book content)

"Because the Shaping Magic series can be said to be the only scientific type of magic that can be understood or even explained, it cannot be classified as Miracle Magic. No matter how powerful the magic within the Shaping Magic series is, it can only be considered as a way of harnessing energy and elements. The battle between mages is more a silent contest involving curse, Word Spirit, evil..."

Seeing this explanation, Li Qing couldn't help but grab a snack from the side to eat.

The so-called Shaping Magic series is very much like the use of magical elements such as Fireball Technique and Ice Arrow Technique in novels, using one's own Magic Power to manipulate the free energy in the Cosmos into a regular arrangement, thus manifesting energy as Power.

But one has to admit, the power of Shaping Magic is indeed strong, and its variations are the most abundant. However, when two mages disdain to use Shaping Magic and battle each other, the biggest scene is probably staring each other down, muttering curses, and waving around, without any Extraordinary Power apparent...

Li Qing couldn't help but laugh at this part; it somewhat resembles the rural culture of his hometown, where Rou Si and Jack were fencing...

Although Shaping Magic is powerful, it is somewhat useless in battles between mages. You're still muttering spells with hand gestures to perform Fireball Technique, while the opponent is proficiently cursing you, causing a headache and collapse in an instant. The Fireball Technique you've just conjured loses control and explodes, burning you instead...

Thus, defense series magic becomes very necessary, whether it's for magic with a form of energy attack or attacks from unknown means, whether from the viewpoint of the Law of Cause and Effect or rules.

Knowing the phenomenon but not knowing the reason.

Many magical forces exhibited are unbelievable, even completely impossible.

But the True Intent of magic is to turn the impossible into possible, that is the ultimate goal.

Of course, this is only qualified for mages who have found the ultimate root of truth to seek. For Li Qing, currently condensing Magic Power is the real breakthrough to become a mage with Extraordinary Power.

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

He checked the time, four in the afternoon, it was almost time for the blind date organized by the administrative manager aunt.

Following the given location, he arrived at a hotpot restaurant, wrapped his clothes tighter, and breathed out a puff of white air.

The influence of the cold wave made the weather in the Shu Capital increasingly cold and biting.

Entering the hotpot restaurant, he walked to table 14 and glanced at the seated lady.

Her fluffy short hair and big almond eyes looked very spirited. The gentle lines on her cheeks added warmth, and her posture was quite proper, seemingly valuing this date and putting on a light makeup.

A very beautiful girl, with great cultivation, evidently having had good family education. Although he didn't know the brand of her necklace and watch, they seemed quite valuable.

After just two glances, Li Qing mentally crossed her off. Having self-awareness has always been his best understanding of his own position.

He had passed the age where he believed fairy tale stories would happen in reality; having faced societal harsh truths, he understood reality as it is.

The rigid social class barriers have long been laid out before people.

The lady had a good family background, and the sharpness between her brows told him she wasn't a meek little lamb.

With forethought, Li Qing had already decided to just enjoy a meal, having not had hotpot for quite some time.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh. That administrative aunt was really untrustworthy; matchmaking is one thing, why mix things up like this? She's a manager already, yet lacks this basic discernment?

Or perhaps...

"Hello, are you Chen Chencheng?"

Chen Chencheng looked up at Li Qing, her big eyes moved a bit, then she stood up for a quick up-and-down assessment, and extended her hand: "I am, you must be Li Qing, right?"

"I am."

Li Qing nodded, shook hands with Chen Chencheng, then sat down together and ordered food.

Chen Chencheng directly said, "I'll get straight to the point, okay?"

Li Qing, blanching the tripe, unsurprised, nodded: "Go ahead."

"Do you have a car?"

"...The bike chain broke a while back and I left it in my rental without touching it."

Li Qing answered casually, his focus entirely on the tripe held by his chopsticks.

Hmm, seems ready to eat. Eating tripe should be crispy, swishing up and down a few times is enough.

Fishing out the tripe, dipping it in the oil dish, he put it in his mouth with satisfaction.

Not bad.

Chen Chencheng watched him, noting his obsession with the hotpot, his carefree manner, frowned slightly, then relaxed, continuing the predefined online search queries.

"Do you have savings?"

"I have over two hundred thousand in savings."

At thirty years old, anyone who works seriously post-graduation, saving daily, can accumulate this over 7-8 years.

He's prepared to make a down payment for a second-hand property in the Shu Capital, the old and small will do. Though the house is a bit lacking, the surrounding facilities are developed, and the price is within his means, it's suitable for him.

Though he always regrets not encountering a girl to strive together with, life without regrets wouldn't be called life.

Upon hearing Li Qing's answer, Chen Chencheng showed some interest, noticing her rapidly losing the tripe to Li Qing, quickly picked up some and put into the hotpot.

"I think there's no problem."

"Huh?"

Li Qing paused, slightly surprised, then slightly nodded: "Let's finish the meal then."

No reason to waste, after all.

Chen Chencheng gave no opinion, feeling curious about Li Qing. Throughout, he showed no particular interest in her, evident in both subtle micro-expressions and gestures.

Typically, upon seeing her appearance, people feel either nervous or blindly confident, but Li Qing was unperturbed.

"Do you know what my profession is?"

"Uh, haven't had a chance to find out, not clear."

"I'm a psychologist."

Li Qing showed genuine interest: "That's quite impressive."

Then continued focusing on the hotpot.

Chen Chencheng raised an eyebrow: "It seems you don't have hopes for this matchmaking."

Li Qing, being frank, understood at his age, he didn't have time for guessing games with women.

"Hmm."

"I've read your information, your whole life's trajectory lacks many highs and lows."

"Mediocre, is it?"

Chen Chencheng slightly nodded, "Indeed so."
