Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 681: See the real - tomorrow (new book content)

Facing the other party's teasing tone, Li Qing's eye twitched slightly, finally replying calmly, "Why not add me on WeChat?"

Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Chen Chencheng's face, and she didn't refuse: "Sure!"

After exchanging WeChat, they chatted casually for a while. Just as they were about to leave, Chen Chencheng suddenly said, "I remember there's a new movie that's pretty good. Want to check it out?"

Li Qing instinctively shook his head: "I have things to do when I get back. Besides, with the flu going around now with the seasons changing, it's better to avoid gathering. I'm out."

And left Chen Chencheng looking dumbfounded.

Quickly returning home, Li Qing confirmed that the system recognition progress had jumped to five percent before breathing a sigh of relief and continued to spread out the parchment to study the "Magic Theory" book.

Although Zhuang Xu seems full of malice, the magic book he wrote is indeed packed with useful information. Some small tricks on using magic power opened his eyes.

It turns out magic power can be used this way too.

It saved him a tremendous amount of time.

Putting on the hood again and entering the Gray Magic Academy's safe house to continue studying, Li Qing was taken aback when he saw the introduction to the next chapter in the book.

"If a mage's body is too weak, it will significantly affect the mage's progression, so come learn to trade with devils. They will transform your body, making it incredibly strong, while also bringing powerful magic..."

Li Qing read it several times, inside and out, confirming repeatedly, finally concluding that this was complete and utter pyramid scheme tactics.

This section was filled with the temptation of power. If it weren't for Li Qing's exposure to web novels and the flood of mindless marketing content, he indeed might have been led astray.

He was even more certain that the Gray Magic Academy was absolutely not a proper magic academy, but an existence luring people into the abyss.

Damn it...

Li Qing cursed inwardly, temporarily tossing the Magic Theory book aside. After wandering aimlessly around the safe house for a bit, he went upstairs, lay on the bed, and meditated for two hours. After enhancing and increasing his magic power, he went downstairs, returned to his real-world rented apartment, and ordered four servings of fried rice.

Stuffed, Li Qing with his belly full, returned to the safe house to pick up the Magic Theory book and start researching the demon summoning magic.

No choice, the urge was too strong.

Demon summoning still requires drawing an array, then injecting magic power to perform the summoning. But if proficient, you can directly summon the devil by communicating with the magic nodes connecting to Alternate Space.

But wanting to consume everything brought by the devil wasn't something he could handle right now.

For now, he couldn't touch this summoning magic.

Time flowed like water, passing as Li Qing was engrossed in his magical research. The day before the Spring Festival holiday, the recognition progress of the magic simulation system module in the lower right corner finally reached one hundred percent.

Then, there was no response at all.

Li Qing grinned, continuing to place a new motherboard on himself for recognition.

CPU, memory, motherboard, how could you not include the most fundamental core components of a computer?

Calculating the progress, it should be completed around after the new year.

As for magic practice, his Mage's Hand magic can now be released within three seconds and maintained for two hours. As his usage becomes more proficient, Li Qing increasingly perceives the coarseness of the Mage's Hand magic.

It should be more refined, more efficient.

But Li Qing didn't dare try exploratory corrective optimizations. Although this approach is much like mathematical formula derivation and code optimization bloat and bug fixing, he only had one life.

Magic Theory had emphasized many times that if you recklessly try to create or modify a magic without sufficient magical knowledge accumulation, your head might end up blowing up like a watermelon.

So for now, the only thing he could do was practice magic, engage in meditation practice, and read other books, asking his doubts during each month's magic list class.

"Master Rosen, I'd like to ask, when I'm using the Mage's Hand magic, I can feel the twelve magic nodes connecting to it, and they seem like they're doing redundant work. They are..."

In an early February list class, Li Qing presented his doubts.

Rosenberg, somewhat surprised, said, "I didn't expect your magic talent was quite good. It seems the talent of humans to become mages at thirty is truly extraordinary."

Li Qing chuckled twice without saying a word, anticipating Rosenberg's explanation.

Despite Rosenberg harboring full malice toward the students, he explained, "Initially, the purpose of creating Mage's Hand was for the convenience of mages in taking items. After optimizing the creation of the magic to make it usable and somewhat practically meaningful, there was no further in-depth research." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Why?" Li Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Why?" Rosenberg laughed, fiddling with his catfish mustache, "After all, this is just a Level 0 trick. Advanced mages wouldn't look twice, and the apprentices who need this magic don't have the ability. Moreover, creating and optimizing a magic isn't that easy. Perhaps one day, when you advance to Legend status and accumulate enough experience and knowledge, you might attempt to optimize a magic or even create your own."

After pausing for a moment, he slowly said, "It seems your progress is good, so if a mage wants to gain accumulation, I think you should go to the library to find the 'Complete Level 0 Tricks' magic book."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master!"

Rosenberg was quite satisfied with Li Qing's respectful words. He nodded slightly, looked up at everyone, and clapped his hands: "Alright everyone, after two more list classes, we'll be having an apprentice exam. I hope you're well prepared."

The sudden announcement made everyone pause, halting their intended departure. Someone asked, "Master Rosen, may I ask what the apprentice exam consists of?"

"That's a secret!"

Rosenberg's indistinct features revealed a slightly enigmatic smile: "But I can remind you all, each world's rules are different. If you can't decipher them, then you'll only be able to use magic, so do prepare well."

The smile on his face made Li Qing's heart tremble slightly, wondering what kind of malice this was filled with.

The last meaningful words made Li Qing shudder internally, fearing that this exam might be life-threatening.

Unconsciously touching the motherboard placed close to his chest, he quickly left the classroom, activated his school emblem, and headed towards the library guided by it.

Rosenberg had given him very good advice; since the basic magical theory knowledge was finished, he should continually practice magic. The more you use it, the more qualified you become to analyze the essence.
