Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 759: See You Tomorrow (New Book Content)

Magic and science both have many similarities in their exploration of the cosmos.

Even now, he still didn't feel sleepy. When encountering something of extreme interest, people tend to harbor an intense passion.

After temporarily closing the content of "Magic Origin," Li Qing's gaze focused on "Basic Meditation Technique." With a gentle tap, the runes began to rapidly change, finally revealing the content again.

Li Qing spent half an hour carefully reading the content of less than a thousand words, along with a complementary meditation image. This was a sphere outlined by countless lines, emitting a faint glow. Just by staring at it, the sphere interwoven with numerous lines was deeply imprinted in his mind.

It even formed a three-dimensional image in his mind, which he could zoom in and out with his thoughts...

This is awesome?!

Li Qing felt it was quite extraordinary. If he had to say it was magic, he wouldn't doubt it at all. The operation of being deeply imprinted in the mind with just one look was incredibly intriguing.

Looking back at the pattern, the meditation image no longer emanated a faint glow and showed no anomalies.

It seemed to be a one-time magic.

Feeling slightly excited, Li Qing clenched his fists and pounded the bed several times to vent.

Creek! Creek! Creek...

"Keep it down next door, there's a single dog here!"

Hearing the somewhat anguished shout from next door, Li Qing forcibly stopped his actions.

The place he rented wasn't very good, with poor soundproofing; any significant movement would be heard by the neighbors.

After ensuring everything was okay, he lay flat on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, immersed his mind, and gradually fell into a semi-conscious state...

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and showed a trace of helplessness. The material richness of modern society was overwhelming, with people constantly bombarded by vast and diverse information. The various fantastic oddities made it impossible to clear the mind of all distractions, a fool's dream.

It couldn't be done at all.

After pondering for a while, Li Qing checked the time. It was already past four in the morning, and he wasn't sleepy. So, he got up and sat in front of the computer.

After waking up the computer from standby, he silently opened his hidden folder...

Twenty minutes later, Li Qing, with a face devoid of desires aside from some exhaustion, set the mouse aside and quietly sat on the bed, completely clearing his mind. He began to slowly sketch lines according to the meditation image from "Basic Meditation Technique" in his mind.

Before sketching lines, one needed to construct a personal origin point, which "Basic Meditation Technique" referred to as the origin, akin to the singularity of the cosmos, gradually giving birth to one's small universe.

Gathering the personal origin point and drawing the first line seemed effortless, easily reaching the standard described in "Basic Meditation Technique."

The entire process of sketching and contemplating was quite smooth, possibly because, without distractions, his focus and concentration were exceptionally high.

It wasn't until the phone alarm rang that Li Qing begrudgingly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to get up, a feeling of excruciating headache suddenly hit him, causing his body to weaken and collapse straight to the ground.

Lying on the ground and groaning for a while, the sounds of firecrackers echoed from next door before Li Qing managed to prop himself up.

Having crawled back onto the bed, he looked at the content on the scroll with bloodshot eyes.

Before the light sphere of "Basic Meditation Technique" took shape, inscribing even one line required immense mental effort, resulting in Li Qing's current state.

His body slid and he lay on the bed, dazed and confused for half an hour before he managed to shake himself awake.

He still had to go to work.

Forcing himself to endure the headache, he took a shower to slightly alleviate the pain, then stuffed the scroll into his pocket and left the house. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

While waiting for the bus, Li Qing finally caught his breath, with the pain considerably reduced, allowing him to focus on other things.

This was mental exhaustion; next time, he'd have to watch the time.

Li Qing let out a long breath, and the line he had drawn in his mind settled vividly and clearly, becoming apparent with a mere mental movement.

It seemed quite easy.

"Mom, look, that person looks like a panda!"

"Stop talking! That's smokey eye makeup!"

Li Qing came back to his senses and glanced at the mother and child nearby. When the woman saw his gaze sweep over, she forcefully pulled the child a few steps to the side.

He pursed his lips and looked around, seeing people stealing glances at him with peculiar expressions. They turned their heads when he looked at them.

How strange, was he being discriminated against just for having bags under his eyes because he didn't sleep well last night?

When the bus arrived, Li Qing adeptly slid to the last seat and plopped down, tilting his head to feign sleep.

Who knows why these old men and women start crowding the bus at the crack of dawn, making it difficult for young people like us to live.

Oh, I'm no longer a young person. Starting today, I'm considered middle-aged.

Thinking of this, Li Qing felt a bit sad. Damn it, I'm still achieving nothing at this stage in life, really letting myself down.

He instinctively touched the scroll in his pocket, showing a hint of excitement on his face.

He hadn't yet calmed down with exhilaration.

After eight stops, Li Qing, somewhat rejuvenated, forced himself to appear energetic. He got off the bus and, after walking a few hundred meters, he arrived under the company building, waiting for the elevator.

He silently watched the people waiting for the elevator around him. Without last night's experience, he would be like these people years later, still tied down by life, performing meaningless work day after day.

Even though Li Qing knew that many people were just like him, unwilling but caught in life's chokehold.

A month from now would be the start of the new school term.

"Hey Brother Qing, why are you daydreaming?"

A clear voice beside him brought Li Qing back to his senses. He turned his head and smiled at the speaker, "Morning, Luo Rui."

This was the new finance girl at the company, a young graduate, vivacious and extremely lively. She often came to chat or seek advice from him.

It was necessary to mention Li Qing's current job. He worked as a system maintenance technician for a pharmaceutical company. Though not as technically demanding as a developer, it was an indispensable position for a company growing to a certain size.

Whether it was network setup, server maintenance, daily office hardware and software, or corporate system informationization, he handled them all.

This role was very much a 'one radish, one pit' situation. If the company didn't undergo significant changes and if one didn't have too many ambitions, the career path seemed quite clear.
