Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 533: See the truth at noon tomorrow (new book content)
"Surname: Li Qing
Tier: Junior Apprentice
Abilities: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)
Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)
Character Evaluation: A cunning human villain with a trace of power!!!"
The character panel shows the tier as Junior Apprentice, and the Basic Meditation Technique has reached Entry Level.
Very good.
Li Qing subconsciously glanced at the mirror beside him, then fell silent; he had just consumed a large amount of his spirit and physical strength to gather magic power.
In the mirror, his reflection was so thin it seemed like a stick, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.
In fact, before gathering magic power, the Meditation Skill consumes a great deal of spirit and physical strength, while gathering magic power also consumes a lot of blood Qi and spirit.
Therefore, most of the time, mages appear very skinny.
Of course, once magic power is gathered, it starts to nourish the body, making oneself immune to sickness, allowing one to live to the limits the body can endure.
If he stops progressing.
Time to exercise the body...
A thought flashed through his mind, then he focused on the book "Magic Theory".
This book "Magic Theory" introduces quite a few of the most basic applications of magic.
Previously, he was drooling over it; now finally having magic power, he can attempt the most basic spells inside.
But Li Qing still restrained himself, opened the door from his safehouse, and left to return to reality.
After classes at Gray Magic Academy, one can stay for an additional twenty-four hours, after which they are forcibly teleported back to their original world.
Exhausted, he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
...
...
He awoke and it was already ten o'clock in the morning of the next day; bleary-eyed, Li Qing took out his phone to check.
Sunday, 10:14.
Struggling for a while on the bed, Li Qing finally found a comfortable position to start his daily meditation.
After the magic power formed, what Li Qing now needed to do was continuously increase the total amount of magic power; to achieve that, increasing his spiritual power remained an essential, fundamental source.
So the Basic Meditation Technique is essentially still about strengthening one's spiritual power.
The stronger the spirit, the higher the magic power limit, and the faster the increase in total amount.
After four hours, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, energetically getting out of bed.
After gathering magic power, the Meditation Skill does not deplete oneself but instead fills oneself with Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
This means if ever necessary, he could completely substitute sleep with meditation.
He went downstairs to a familiar breakfast shop to order a bowl of noodle soup.
The shop owner glanced at Li Qing and exclaimed while working, "Little Li, you look like you've lost a lot of weight recently, are you dieting?"
Li Qing replied, "Isn't that the case? Recently I've been busy dating, and nowadays girls all like the skinny beauty, so just enhancing myself a bit."
Casually responding, his mind was still developing his first magic 'Mage's Hand'.
If forced to describe it with a specific way, it somewhat appears as the superpower effect of telekinesis.
The vast majority of magic revolves around four actions: Analyze, Construct, Solidify, Release.
The stronger one's magic power, the stronger the manifested Mage's Hand becomes. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
While eating noodles, Li Qing's mind was slowly analyzing according to the detailed introduction of Mage's Hand in "Magic Theory".
After paying for the noodles, Li Qing bought a notepad and pen to doodle on the street corner.
An hour later, Li Qing frowned tightly, staring at his notebook filled with scribbles akin to ghostly scratches.
How do these nodes deduced for casting spells resemble the space three-dimensional coordinates and tier two derivatives in advanced mathematics?
Frankly speaking, it's been seven or eight years since his university days have passed; these advanced mathematics would be long forgotten if not applied in actual work, let alone these specialized topics within mathematics departments.
He fell silent, gazing up at the sky, his expression somewhat grim.
Back then, he was totally a mathematical underachiever; even in high school, he was barely swinging with scores in the sixties and seventies.
Does he really have to return to school?
His expression fluctuated, hesitating beside for a long while, before letting out a long sigh, patting his head, and then heading towards the district library.
Half an hour later, Li Qing looked very helpless at the somewhat old high school math textbooks before him.
Trembling slightly, he opened the first page, took a deep breath, meditated a while for calmness via the Meditation Technique, then opened his eyes calmly and looked at the textbook.
Time flies when fully immersed; when Li Qing raised his head, four hours had passed.
His face showed surprise and delight as he closed the textbook covering the first semester of high school.
Mad, it wasn't strenuous at all, he could even infer further formulas that needed to be learned later.
At this point, Li Qing got interested, eagerly purchasing all high school math textbooks, along with a few sets of exam papers titled "Three-Year College Entrance, Five-Year Simulation" out of the library, found a place to have dinner, and finally settled down in his rented apartment.
Lying on the bed, he meditated for two hours, then opened his eyes energetically and began studying the textbooks again.
If he had such a mind back then, Qinghua or Peking University would have obviously been a multiple-choice question.
This Basic Meditation Technique is quite miraculous; after the Light Ball formed, not only enhanced his spiritual power but also added to his intelligence.
It would be nice if the character panel could display his attributes.
Li Qing thought about it, and during a break, subconsciously opened his character panel to take a look.
"Surname: Li Qing
Tier: Junior Apprentice
Intelligence: 3
Physical Strength: 0.8
Abilities: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)
Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)
Character Evaluation: A cunning human villain embracing evil!!!"
The character evaluation changed somewhat, but the focus wasn't there.
The character panel he saw was indeed changing according to his thoughts; it seems that the summoned devil had been completely transformed into a system panel.
Then it should be judging with 1 as the benchmark, presumably the average value for ordinary people is 1, with fluctuations up and down.
Having twice the intelligence as the average person brings astonishing speed to his thinking, but his physical strength is somewhat lacking.
This surprised Li Qing for a while and then felt it was inevitable; even a Level 0 magic requires a vast amount of computation, deduction, and analysis. Without enough intelligence to support, one wouldn't even recognize the significance of each node in the flow of magic power.
Analyze, Construct, Solidify, Release.
The four essential steps to use magic, none can be omitted.
If one's logical thinking isn't great, understanding these things would be difficult.
Only after 11:40 did Li Qing reluctantly close the textbooks; these days he finally found the drive he had for studying before.
