Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 641: See the truth in 2 hours (content of the leisure new book)

After a whole month, apart from attending the regular Q&A sessions at Gray Magic Academy three times, the rest of the time he spent either at the safe house or his own rental researching.

Fortunately, the safe house at Gray Magic Academy has time suspension, allowing him double the time for study.

To him, a month felt like more than three months.

On Saturday, Li Qing squatted at the entrance of Taigu Outer Street like a street rat, tightening his cotton coat as he watched the bustling crowd.

Honestly, in this cold weather, Li Qing admired those young ladies who still wore rather skimpy outfits.

The saying "ham needs refrigeration" indeed makes sense.

The most bustling street in Shu Capital was adorned with countless splendid lanterns, exuding a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Street photography was as popular as ever, with various flamboyantly dressed young women walking along the street. When they saw someone photographing them, they showed surprise, then covered their mouths, tossed their hair, and ran ahead while secretly smiling back in an enchanting way. There were also couples pretending to be lovers, with the girl acting playfully and the boy pulling her away like a domineering CEO when they noticed being photographed.

Beside them, a group of men and women dressed in traditional Hanfu posed in various poses.

Life was truly busy.

As for Li Qing, like most men with nothing to do on the weekend, he held a cup of milk tea while squatting on a public bench, his eyes darting around nonstop.

His gaze often drifted towards those refrigerated hams or ultra-short skirts, and seeing those glamorous girls moving dramatically, becoming faintly visible, he couldn't help but exclaim 'Wuhu'!

He took a deep breath and calmed down, then carefully followed the magic flow nodes of the 'Mage's Hand' magic.

The magic flow nodes of the Mage's Hand were relatively simple, consisting of only a dozen nodes, initially designed to allow mages to fetch objects remotely.

Calming himself, he slowly maneuvered the magic according to the flow nodes. If not careful, any error in the nodes could cause a magic disturbance, leading to a loss of control over his spiritual power, potentially blowing his head off.

This wasn't without precedent.

After about a minute, Li Qing continuously activated the magic nodes and maintained the flow.

Success!

Li Qing forcefully suppressed his inner excitement, sensing a transparent palm beside him, as if it might drift away with the wind, floating at his side.

Although still unstable, this was the first step into becoming a mage!!!

"Dude, you're shivering just looking, feeling weak?"

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

Li Qing instinctively looked at himself. Honestly, to gather magic power, he had been consuming his body too much lately, to the point that he was now skin and bones, like a bamboo pole that might blow away with the wind...

He needed to exercise more. 'Magic Theory' mentioned some beneficial magic to strengthen oneself, worth researching.

Li Qing defiantly retorted: "What do you mean by weak? Don't judge me by my thinness, my bones are all grown with meat inside. You must know, the fat retracts inward, while the thin reveal their advantages!!"

After retorting like a real man, Li Qing controlled the Mage's Hand to float about ten meters ahead.

That was the limit.

If he went any further, the Mage's Hand would lose control and dissipate. It was still too short a time meditating. If his spiritual power increased, the magic power would also increase, expanding the control range.

Okay, now to see if he could manipulate objects.

The Mage's Hand fiercely fanned forward, causing a sudden gust of wind, startling a group of posing girls in front.

"Wow!!"

"Wuhu!!!"

"So exciting!!!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Thank Heavens for the divine wind!"

Li Qing quickly dissipated the Mage's Hand, walked away as if nothing happened, showing no interest in these ordinary girls.

Joking aside, becoming a mage at thirty, he wouldn't trade it for anything!

Excitedly returning to his rental apartment, just as he was about to enter the safe house in Gray, a loud voice called out to him.

"Little Li, I'm here to collect the water and electricity bill, nice timing with you at home!"

Li Qing looked back and smiled: "Sister Ni, how much?"

"Forty-seven yuan."

After swiftly settling the bill, Li Qing pondered for a moment. His rental had two more months of tenancy; he needed to move out.

Buy a house!

This had been his long-cherished dream ever since he entered society, ground down his passion and enthusiasm, and had his edges smoothed by society.

He pulled out his phone to check.

At thirty, saving and scrimping all the way to now, he had over 280,000 yuan.

Enough to buy a small second-hand apartment in some parts of Shu Capital, though old and small, it would still be a place of his own.

Putting these thoughts aside for now, he donned his black robe, returned to the safe house, and opened his attribute panel to check.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Intelligence: 4

Physical Strength: 0.8

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

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

Character Evaluation: Damn it, I can't get out! This damn cunning villain, Gray's lackey!"

Hmm, there's a new talent, Wise Man's Time?!

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

After some mocking, Li Qing was quite curious about Wise Man's Time. With a slight shift of mind, the introduction of Wise Man's Time enlarged quickly.

"Wise Man's Time: A talent skill acquired after being solo for thirty years, recently activated due to frequent use of the Dragon-Catching Pillar-Hugging Skill, a true man's talent, passive skills, significantly increase magic casting time, and magic learning ability, can enhance one's thinking agility.

Evaluation: You damn human, do you think you're the endless protagonist?!"

Not having checked his attribute panel for a while did give him a pleasant surprise. No wonder he felt his speed in solving math problems and deriving formulas had increased significantly recently, as did his speed in researching magic.

Let's research whether this talent can be upgraded. If it can be upgraded, wouldn't that be even more abnormal!

After jumping around for a while and getting some exercise, Li Qing, panting, continued to research the 'Mage's Hand.'

Seeing it from a whole new perspective from mathematics, Li Qing thought that although the magic flow program was indeed node-connected,

the process of analysis, construction, solidification, and release was very similar to code execution.

Although his work involved very little code development, just some operational tool development, now with a clear mind and the enhanced thinking agility from Wise Man's Time, he had a new understanding of the Level 0 Magic, Mage's Hand.
