Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 715: See you tomorrow (new book content)

Facing the teasing tone from the other party, Li Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and finally, he calmly said, "How about adding me on WeChat?"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Chencheng's face, and she didn't refuse, "Sure!"

After exchanging WeChat and casually chatting for a bit, just as they were preparing to leave, Chen Chencheng suddenly said, "I remember there's a newly released movie that's pretty good. Want to go see it?"

Li Qing instinctively shook his head, "I have things to do at home, and besides, there are too many flu cases with the seasonal change, better to gather less, I'm leaving."

And then he left Chen Chencheng looking dumbfounded.

After quickly returning home, Li Qing confirmed that the system recognition progress had jumped to five percent, then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to spread out the parchment to study the book "Magic Theory."

Although Zhuang Xu seemed full of malice, the magic book he authored was indeed packed with useful information. Some small tips on the use of magic were eye-opening for him.

So, magic power could be used like this.

It saved him a significant amount of time.

When Li Qing put on his hood again and entered the safe house of Gray Magic Academy to continue studying, he was taken aback when he saw the introduction of the next chapter in the book.

"If a mage's body is too weak, it will greatly affect the mage's stage advancement. So, come and learn to trade with devils, they will transform your body, making it incredibly strong, and bring powerful magic at the same time..."

Li Qing repeatedly looked over it several times, confirming it inside and out, and finally concluded that this was completely a pyramid scheme.

The entire content of this chapter was filled with the temptation of power. If Li Qing hadn't been through the baptism of online novels and the overwhelming influx of idiotic articles from various marketing accounts, he might have fallen into their trap.

He was more certain that Gray Magic Academy was definitely not a legitimate magic academy, but an entity that entices people to fall into the Abyss.

Dammit...

Li Qing cursed silently in his heart, temporarily tossing the book "Magic Theory" aside. After wandering aimlessly in the safe house for a while, he went upstairs to lie on the bed and meditated for two hours. Continuing to refine and increase his magic power, he went downstairs back to his rental room in reality and ordered four portions of fried rice.

Feeling full, Li Qing, with a bulging stomach, returned to the safe house and picked up the research on the demon summoning magic from "Magic Theory."

No choice, the addiction was too strong.

Demon summoning still required drawing an array and then injecting magic power to summon a devil, but if one was proficient, they could directly communicate with the magic nodes to connect with the Alternate Space to summon a devil.

However, to completely take advantage of what a devil brings, it's not something he can handle right now.

Temporarily cannot touch this summoning magic.

Time flowed like water, passing by as Li Qing was immersed in magic research. On the day before the Chinese New Year holiday, the recognition progress of the Magic Simulation System in the lower right corner finally reached one hundred percent.

Then, there was no reaction at all.

Li Qing grinned, continuing to place a piece of the latest model motherboard on himself, then identifying it.

Cpu, memory, motherboard, how can the core components of a computer be missing?

Estimating the progress, it should be completed around after the New Year.

As for magic practice, he can now release the Mage's Hand magic within three seconds and maintain it for two hours. With increasingly proficient use, Li Qing feels more and more that the Mage's Hand magic is crude.

It ought to be more refined and efficient.

But Li Qing doesn't dare to attempt experimental corrections and optimization research, even though this approach is a lot like mathematical formula derivation and code optimization layer and bug fixes, he only has one life.

"Magic Theory" has emphasized many times that if one attempts to create or modify magic without sufficient accumulation of magical knowledge, the likely outcome is that their head will explode like a watermelon.

So for now, he can only practice magic, meditate, study other books, and ask questions during the monthly magic lectures.

"Master Rosen, I'd like to ask about the Mage's Hand magic when I cast it, I feel that the twelve magic nodes connected to the Mage's Hand all seem to be doing unnecessary work, which are..."

During a lecture at the beginning of February, Li Qing raised his question.

Rosenberg was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect your magic talent to be so good. It seems that the talent for humans to become mages by the age of thirty is indeed unparalleled."

Li Qing chuckled a couple of times and didn't say anything, waiting for Rosenberg's answer.

Despite Rosenberg's malicious attitude towards the students, he explained, "The original purpose of creating the Mage's Hand was for the mage's convenience in picking up objects. After the magic was created and optimized to be usable and have some practical significance, further research stopped."

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

"Why?" Rosenberg laughed while fiddling with his catfish mustache, "This is, after all, just a Level 0 trick. Advanced mages don't care about it, and apprentices who need to learn this magic aren't capable of it. Moreover, creating and optimizing a magic isn't easy. Maybe one day you might advance to Legend, accumulate enough experience and knowledge, and then you might try optimizing a magic or creating your own magic."

He paused, then said slowly, "It looks like your progress is good. Now, if a mage wants to accumulate knowledge, I think you should go to the library to find the 'Complete Level 0 Tricks' magic book."

"Thank you for the guidance, Master!"

Rosenberg was quite satisfied with Li Qing's respectful words, nodding slightly and looking up at everyone, clapping his hands, "Alright everyone, after two more lectures, we'll have an apprentice exam, so I hope you prepare thoroughly."

The sudden announcement halted the footsteps of those who were about to leave, and someone asked, "Master Rosen, can you tell us what the apprentice exam is about?"

"It's a secret!"

Rosenberg's obscure features revealed a mysterious smile, "But I can give you a hint: each world's rules are different, and if you can't decipher them, then you can only use magic. So, you'd better prepare well."

The smile on his face made Li Qing's heart tremble slightly, all this malice was really going too far.

The final cryptic words made Li Qing even more cautiously alert, fearing this exam might be deadly.

Instinctively, he touched the motherboard he kept close to his chest, then quickly left the classroom, activated the school badge, and followed its guidance toward the library.

Rosenberg had given him very good advice. Since the basic magic theory knowledge was already learned, the more magic he practiced, the more qualified he would be to analyze its essence.
