Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 754: See You Tomorrow (New Book Content)

A pair of pale feet suddenly appeared beside the closed ceiling panel, motionless, as if they had been standing there for a long time.

"I've decided to buy it." Li Qing clapped his hands and said.

Zhang Li was slightly surprised and asked, "Mr. Li, have you thought it over? Are you really buying it?"

Li Qing nodded slightly: "This house has only been vacant for a short time. Otherwise, someone who doesn't believe in supernatural stuff would have already bought it. I'd rather be the one who doesn't believe in supernatural stuff to buy it."

Zhang Li hesitated but then spread his hands: "I've said what I needed to say. As long as you're happy, that's what matters."

The two returned to the real estate agency, signed the purchase contract, and paid the deposit. Over the next two days, Li Qing, under the agency's process, submitted various asset proofs and payroll records, then waited for the seven-day inspection period to finalize the loan, only to hand it over to the real estate company before it could even warm up. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

In exchange, he got the property certificate placed in the bank, along with a monthly mortgage payment of less than two thousand, and an empty savings account.

It was already very cheap! Li Qing honestly felt he snagged a bargain. If he hadn't been quick-eyed, it would have been snatched away long ago, even if he picked a house with ghostly things.

For Li Qing, it was quite fortunate; although there were indeed eerie things in the room, as a mage, even being only at the apprentice level, it still counted as being able to perform magic.

Moreover, there is no shortage of spells targeting the undead in Level 0 magic.

'Undead Contact,' this Level 0 magic, allows him to truly touch souls with his body.

According to rumors, it should be a female ghost. He doesn't believe he can't defeat a woman.

"Brother Qing, I heard you bought a house?"

During lunch, Luo Rui curiously asked while sitting on the side.

Li Qing nodded slightly: "A second-hand house, in a rather old neighborhood."

Colleagues nearby also smiled upon hearing this: "Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Qing, you finally achieved perfection!"

"Yes, Xiao Qing, years of aspirations have finally come true!"

"Very impressive!"

Everyone was not too jealous about Li Qing's house purchase; they were mostly envious and offering blessings. After all, they were aware of Li Qing's family background to some extent, and to save money and buy a house on his own was already a win for 90% of modern Huaxia people, which Li Qing acknowledged with smiles.

He really liked such a work atmosphere, which is why he was able to stay at this company for four years.

"I wish I could be like Brother Qing; unfortunately, I can't keep my money. Every payday, if it's not paying off a credit loan, it's repaying an online loan!"

A trendy-dressed man lamented nearby.

Li Qing couldn't help but say, "Zhang Yang, if you toned down your revenge spending a bit, you wouldn't be in such a predicament now."

Many young people nowadays only care about the present, spending as much as they get, and indulging in excessive pre-consumption, lacking any spending concepts. At least among the twenty-something guys Li Qing knows, seven out of ten are in debt, two are living paycheck to paycheck, and only one can pull out ten thousand bucks.

Zhang Yang said helplessly: "My girlfriend wants this and that all the time, going out for meals, shopping, watching movies, plus buying clothes, shoes, bags or whatever, and a few thousand is gone."

Luo Rui wondered from the side: "You're the only one paying?"

Zhang Yang flushed red: "Not really, my girlfriend spends quite a bit on me too."

Li Qing casually remarked: "Just this Valentine's you gave her a 1314 cash gift, and she bought five pairs of socks for you?"

Everyone couldn't hold back their smiles, Luo Rui laughed even more: "Zhang Yang, you should learn from Brother Qing, never had a girlfriend since stepping into society, then bought a house at thirty! What's left is finding a girlfriend!"

Zhang Yang muttered: "Living in this world, one has to find a girlfriend somehow!"

Li Qing chuckled, shaking his head slightly, without refuting; after all, in today's era, many people are approaching relationships nonchalantly, unlike him, he was a bit old-fashioned, chatting with someone for a few days, often planning ahead.

Actually, several girls hinted to Li Qing in the meantime, but Li Qing was very cautious about it, even thinking it through thoroughly after going out with them several times for meals.

Due to not owning a house back then, he felt self-conscious.

Now he can finally hold his head high.

After lunch, Li Qing returned to his workstation, showing a thoughtful expression, holding a deck of cards in his hand, casually drawing three cards.

Six, four, seven.

He lightly flicked the cards in his hand, and the cards transformed directly into a flush.

Li Qing opened the cards and carefully reorganized them, then brightened up, swapping the positions of six-four-seven and the flush.

The flush ended up in his hand, while the six-four-seven cards joined the deck.

Li Qing abruptly stood up, a hint of excitement on his face.

What the hell am I still working for!

The commoner mindset of Li Qing just reacted, damn it, he is now a mage, with many spells that can provide significant convenience to life, why should he be obediently working like a corporate slave?

Is being a corporate slave bad? Actually, it's good, nine-to-five or six, weekends either off fully or partially, as long as you have a skill, you can work long term, the so-called midlife crisis though existing, by the time reaching middle age, having both career skills and life network has certain resources.

Even if unemployed, lowering your expectations a bit can integrate well; for ordinary people, it's the necessary way to survive always.

But for Li Qing right now, it's not necessary.

The self-created system loader allows his magic to become instantaneous, once a spell is successfully cast it can be activated, then mounted on a plugin.

Including meditation, which maintains a twenty-four-hour uninterrupted state.

Why waste time here?

Li Qing immediately got up, according to professional ethics, checked the system running status, then promptly applied for using all his seven-day annual leave in one go.

In between submitting to Chen Ke, the professional administrative Aunt, being asked for the real reason, Li Qing had to bring Chen Chencheng up as an excuse.

Under her ambiguous gaze, Li Qing politely smiled, signing his agreement smoothly.

However, due to the position's special nature, Li Qing needed to keep a laptop on hand for remotely handling system matters.

Li Qing had no objections to this either; being in IT support generally demands this, best if everything is fine usually, but if a problem arises regardless of it's midnight, dawn, or during a holiday, it requires immediate solution ensuring the system's normal operation.

As for why he didn't resign outright, it's simply to prevent realization failure, plus having such a good job as a safety net.
