Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 570: Change after 10 minutes

After a full month, having gone to Gray Magic Academy three times for the monthly Q&A class, he spent the rest of the time either at the safe house or in his rented apartment researching.

Fortunately, the time at the safe house in Gray Magic Academy is stagnant, so he had twice as much time to study.

A month passed for him as if it were more than three months.

On Saturday, Li Qing sat like a street loafer at the entrance of Taigu Outer Street, watching the bustling crowds, tightening his cotton coat involuntarily.

Honestly, in this cold weather, Li Qing quite admires those young ladies still wearing rather light clothes.

The saying that ham needs to be refrigerated is indeed sensible.

The most bustling street in Shu Capital was already adorned with embroidered lanterns, filled with a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Street photography on the street remained incredibly popular, with various girls dressed flamboyantly walking along the street, showing surprise when seeing someone photographing them, then covering their mouths, flipping their hair, running off with a teasing smile, or pretending to be couples where the girls show playful gestures and the boys with a domineering president aura pull the girls away upon noticing they're being filmed.

Nearby, a group of men and women in ancient Hanfu posed in various postures.

Life is truly busy.

As for Li Qing, like most men with nothing to do on weekends, he held a cup of milk tea, sitting squatted on a public bench with his eyeballs constantly darting around.

His gaze aimed specifically at those refrigerated hams or the edges of mini skirts, and when those glamorous girls made bigger movements, becoming vaguely visible, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wuhu!"

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly used the magic flow nodes of "Mage's Hand" to form the technique.

The magic flow nodes of Mage's Hand are quite simple, with only about a dozen nodes, initially just convenient for mages to retrieve distant objects.

Sinking his mind, he gradually applied magic according to the movement of the nodes. If he wasn't careful, any mistakes in the nodes would lead to magic chaos, potentially causing an uncontrollable spiritual power, which might blow his brains out.

It's not without examples.

After about a minute, Li Qing continuously activated the magic nodes, maintaining the operation.

Got it!

Forcing down his excitement, Li Qing sensed a transparent palm beside him, floating in a manner as if ready to be swept away by the wind.

Though still unstable, this was the first step into becoming a Mage!!!

"Hey buddy, just shivering from watching, feeling weak?"

A man beside him approached with a full smile, looking at Li Qing.

Li Qing instinctively looked down at himself. Honestly, to condense magic, he recently consumed a lot of physical energy, now he's thin as a pole, looking like he could be blown away like a bamboo stick...

He needs to exercise. In "Magic Theory," there's beneficial magic to strengthen oneself, he'd better research it.

Li Qing retorted defiantly: "What do you mean weak, don't look at me thin, my bones are grown with flesh. You should know, the fats shrink, while the thin highlights their strengths!!"

Real man Li Qing responded, then directed Mage's Hand to float forward about ten meters.

The extreme distance.

Further would lose control and dissipate. His meditation time is still too short; as spiritual power grows, magic power increases, expanding control range.

Alright, let's see if he can manipulate objects next.

Mage's Hand fiercely flapped ahead, a gust of mysterious wind arose, causing a group of posturing girls ahead to scream excitedly.

"Wow!!"

"Wuhu!!!"

"So thrilling!!!"

"Thanks to god for granting the divine wind!"

Li Qing swiftly dispelled Mage's Hand, leaving nonchalantly, completely uninterested in these gaudy beauties.

Kidding, becoming a Mage at thirty, I'd trade for no one!

Returning excitedly to his rented apartment, just about to enter Gray's safe house, a rough voice rang out.

"Little Li, I came to collect the utility bills, just in time when you're home!"

Li Qing turned back, smiling, "Sister Ni, how much?"

"Forty-seven yuan."

After neatly calculating the utility bills, Li Qing pondered for a moment, this rented apartment has two months left; he needs to move out.

To buy a house!

This has been his long-cherished wish since entering society, wearing down his passion and hot-bloodedness, after being smoothed out by society.

He took out his phone to check.

At thirty, saving every penny along the way, now twenty-eight thousand more.

In some areas of Shu Capital, he could buy a second-hand house, though old and small, yet with a place of his own.

For now, put these aside. Wearing a black robe, after returning to the safe house, Li Qing opened his panel for a look.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Intelligence: 4

Physical Strength: 0.8

Owned Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level), Mage's Hand (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1), Wise Man's Time

Character Evaluation: Damn, I'm stuck here! This damn cunning scoundrel, Gray's running dog!"

Hmm, there's an additional talent, Wise Man's Time?!

And this character evaluation, could it be the devil's confession?

After an outburst of mockery, Li Qing became quite curious about Wise Man's Time. With a slight movement of thought, the introduction of Wise Man's Time quickly enlarged.

"Wise Man's Time: A talent acquired from being solo since birth for thirty years, activated due to the frequent practice of Dragon-Catching Pillar-Hugging Skill. It's a true man's talent, passive skill, can greatly increase magic casting time, and magic learning ability, also improves one's agility thinking ability.

Evaluation: You damn human, you think you're the endless protagonist, don't you!?"

A period of not checking his attribute panel gave him quite a surprise; no wonder he recently found himself solving math problems and deriving formulas faster, and studying magic more swiftly.

He'll research whether this talent can be upgraded, if it can, wouldn't it be even more formidable!

After jumping around for a while, getting his body warmed up, Li Qing panted heavily continuing to study 'Mage's Hand.'

From a new angle at the level of mathematics, Li Qing felt the magic flow program, although node connection.

However, analysis, construction, stabilization, release procedures are quite similar to code operation.

Though his work involves very little code development, just some small operational tool development, now his mind clear with Wise Man's Time enhancing agility thinking ability gives him a new understanding of the Level 0 Magic, Mage's Hand.

Perhaps, he could try altering certain magic flow nodes to use a more efficient Mage's Hand.
