Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 556: See the Truth Tomorrow (New Book Content)

At least Li Qing can now maintain the Mage's Hand, this Level 0 Magic, for eight hours before consuming all his Magic Power.

It's quite a nice improvement, but Li Qing feels that his body seems too weak.

He looked down at his two ribs, feeling a bit dissatisfied.

He used to be neither fat nor thin, but because of gathering Magic Power, he consumed a lot of his body's energy.

He needs to find a place to train, and it's best to learn some combat skills. After all, the apprentice assessment in two months might be quite dangerous, or else Rosenberg wouldn't show that expression like he's eagerly waiting for them to die.

"Iron pot, tears floating shyly over..."

Li Qing grabbed his phone to see it was Chen Chencheng calling, and he answered the call.

"Look out the window!" Chen Chencheng said right at the beginning.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, got up, and walked to the window to see Chen Chencheng waving at him.

"Wait for me a moment."

"Hurry up! I've never waited for a guy like this before!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Qing quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs, standing in front of Chen Chencheng with some surprise and a hint of excitement.

"Why are you here, so late at night?"

At the same time, Li Qing noticed that Chen Chencheng's outfit was quite simple this time, no watch, no necklace, just carrying a cute little backpack.

Chen Chencheng raised her phone, showing several cracks at the top of the screen.

"My phone broke, and since you don't live too far, I thought I'd ask you to come with me to buy a phone."

Seeing the hesitation on Li Qing's face, Chen Chencheng exclaimed, "No way, a girl comes to you on her own, and you're thinking of rejecting?!"

"It's not that, it's just that it's already eight in the evening, close to the New Year, so I'm afraid there won't be any phone stores open."

Li Qing felt a bit helpless; he really wanted to meditate. He's often been chatting with Chen Chencheng on WeChat these days, and they've become quite familiar.

Many times, even when he has panda eyes, he'd get messages from Chen Chencheng in the middle of the night, and he'd recover during breaks.

In the past few months, he practically replaced his sleep with Meditation, and after four hours of Meditation, he not only felt refreshed but also had sharper mental agility.

"No, the Wanda Plaza next door is bustling!"

"Uh, is it?"

"Shall we go?"

Li Qing looked at Chen Chencheng skeptically: "I think with your character, you wouldn't do anything without a reason. I'm very suspicious of your motives right now."

Chen Chencheng looked innocent: "What bad intentions can a little girl have?"

Li Qing replied bluntly: "Friend, you're already twenty-six."

"Heartless!" Chen Chencheng murmured discontentedly, "I just can't get along with you straightforward guys."

After thinking for a while, Chen Chencheng took out a notebook from her bag and said: "Actually, I mainly want to study what behavior a thirty-year-old man exhibits when shopping with women during holidays. It's quite an interesting topic for my research."

Li Qing said expressionlessly: "Boring."

After saying this, he turned to leave, but Chen Chencheng quickly called out: "Don't you want to learn how to find a girlfriend?"

Li Qing hesitated, thinking that he didn't have much to do tonight anyway, so he might as well relax for a bit. He could meditate once he got back.

As for the Magic Simulation System module, the recognition of the motherboard was nearly complete; only nine percent remains to finish recognizing the memory card completely, and then it could run the most basic system program. Logically, that's how it should be...

There's a whole lot of preparatory work to be done next, so a little relaxation might be a good way to relieve some tension.

Finally, under Chen Chencheng's somewhat amused gaze, he walked to her side.

"Let's go."

While chatting casually along the way, Chen Chencheng showed remarkable wit, not mentioning her family background or any products, but rather actively inquiring about Li Qing's specialties.

Overall, it made Li Qing feel quite relaxed.

"I guess I know why despite your great conditions, many guys avoid you like the plague."

"Why?"

Li Qing concluded: "Your curiosity is too strong, and you are highly proficient in psychology. At least you subconsciously bring your professional habits into your life, constantly analyzing your partner, and using language to guide them into traps, all while watching their inner thoughts as they answer your questions."

Chen Chencheng was surprised: "Really?"

"Throughout this journey, you've constructed three language traps for me, such as when you kept refuting my views on our relationship's subtext."

Chen Chencheng said: "I think everyone is entitled to their opinions, right?"

"True, but you're subtly placing yourself in a higher position, and though many words are unconsciously revealed, you're indeed putting me below you. You're looking for someone who will entirely submit to you."

Speaking of this, Li Qing pinched his brow: "Chencheng, I mean you no harm, I just want to say that it's not good to be this way."

Chen Chencheng fell into a brief self-reflection for three seconds and then said: "I think you're wrong."

"Right, right, you're always right."

Li Qing had nothing more to say, after all, changing someone's worldview built over more than twenty years isn't easy, and Li Qing didn't intend to change others' minds.

"..."

Upon arriving at the plaza, they both involuntarily stopped and looked up at the fireworks filling the sky.

After waiting for the fireworks to slowly fade, Li Qing sighed: "It's been many years since I've seen it this lively."

"It'll be even more festive on New Year's Eve," Chen Chencheng said with her crescent-shaped eyes: "I haven't been out like this in ages either."

"How long is 'ages'?" Li Qing asked casually, always watching the fading fireworks.

"About a year and more, just the psychology clinic, home, and nowhere else."

"Haven't you gone on blind dates in between?"

"I have, but..." Chen Chencheng seemed to finally comprehend and, with a peculiar expression, said: "Just like you said."

Li Qing shrugged: "Human nature is the hardest to stand up to examination unless they aren't familiar to you. Let's go, get a phone."

Silent on their way to the phone section, Li Qing asked: "What brand are you planning to buy?"

Chen Chencheng looked around and said: "I heard Huami's performance is pretty good."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "Indeed, it's good."

"But I've heard their quality control isn't great."

"True, it's not great."

"..." Chen Chencheng: "Can't you give some constructive advice?"

Li Qing held up his phone and said: "Look, my phone is from Huami. If you intend to buy from them, it's best to purchase from their online official website or offline direct stores. It's safer that way, and you can get replacements if there are issues."
