Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 723: See you tomorrow (new book content)

The system loader he developed himself could make his magic almost instantaneous; as long as he successfully activated magic the first time, it could then be mounted onto a plugin.

Even now, his meditation remained uninterrupted, running 24/7.

Why bother struggling here?

Li Qing immediately stood up and, following his professional ethics, checked the status of the information system before applying for his entire seven-day vacation.

When submitting the application to Chen Ke, the professional administrator, he had to use Chen Chencheng as an excuse when asked for a reason.

Under her suggestive gaze, Li Qing politely smiled and quickly signed to approve it.

However, due to the nature of his position, Li Qing needed to keep a laptop on hand for remote system management.

Li Qing had no objections to this, knowing that this was the norm for system maintenance. Ideally, nothing would happen, but if an issue arose, no matter the time or occasion, it needed immediate resolution to ensure the system ran properly.

As for why he didn't resign immediately, it was entirely to prevent this from falling through, ensuring a good job was still there as a backup.

After all, to Li Qing, gambling was never considered the right path.

In truth, from a young age, he had never participated in gambling involving money, and he absolutely would not partake in activities involving financial stakes. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

So even now, he felt a bit uncertain.

Entering the neighborhood, Li Qing climbed to the seventh floor, feeling his heart pound as he took out his keys to open the door. The slightly ajar door next to him silently opened, and a pair of eyes eerily stared at his back.

With his current heightened senses, Li Qing immediately sensed it and turned to look.

It was a young girl, but not that young; she was at least fourteen, though she still looked quite immature.

Seeing her studying him with an enigmatic gaze, Li Qing couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

The girl remained silent, prompting Li Qing to mildly shake his head, say nothing more, and head inside.

"Are you... the one who bought this house?"

The girl's chilly voice quietly reached him, causing Li Qing to pause.

"What?"

Seeing that Li Qing did not deny it, the girl narrowed the door gap further.

"Didn't the seller tell you that people died in this house recently, and not just one?"

Li Qing replied, "Yes, they did."

The girl's eyes widened: "And you still bought it?"

Li Qing shrugged: "Because it was cheap."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"In today's world, a house is worth more than life."

The girl's gaze grew more peculiar: "Just because the house was cheap?"

"Of course."

"Aren't you worried that cheap might mean bad quality?"

"Perhaps it's a bargain."

The girl snorted: "Good luck to you."

With that, she slammed the door shut.

Li Qing looked at the closed security door, his fingers slightly moving before he shook his head, choosing not to dwell on it.

Once back in his new home, he first booked a flight to Macao for the next noon, slightly tidied up his belongings, and felt quite satisfied looking at his somewhat empty house.

Although several people died there recently and his heightened spiritual sensitivity confirmed something was amiss with the house, having his own true home was completely different from living in rental places.

Yes, truly, a few people had died. They said the ghost of a woman had lured a man who cheated with seven women inside and killed him, then hung herself in the attic wearing a bright red dress.

Quite bold if you ask me.

Thinking of it gave him a sudden chill, prompting Li Qing's gaze to sharpen. His current spiritual sensitivity indeed sensed something within the house watching him.

And the malicious intent was quite strong; even ordinary people with dull spiritual perception would feel a chill.

Mad!

Only now did Li Qing understand why many interested in the house had disappeared without a trace after visiting.

Li Qing swallowed hard, silently referring to his training.

"Undead Contact."

Twenty-four magic flow nodes on the system's loader triggered instantaneously, completing the magic nodes.

Instant spellcasting.

Achieving instantaneous Level 0 Spellcasting required at least a First-Ring Mage, something Li Qing handled perfectly.

It was even more straightforward than for a First-Ring Mage, requiring extensive practice.

Unlike others, Li Qing, after learning once, could mount it onto the plugin and cast magic instantly.

He even calibrated his mana value, based on the standard to instant-cast the Level 0 Magic Mage's Hand. Currently, he could continuously cast twenty-two Level 0 Spells without interruption, meaning he had 22 points of mana.

A simple and clear calculation.

And thanks to mounting an auxiliary Meditation Skill, mana recovery was much quicker, making his long-term combat endurance rather impressive as long as he didn't release everything at once.

At least, Li Qing thought it was decent.

After casting an Undead Contact Magic on himself, Li Qing discreetly advanced, methodically tidying up the house.

One First-Ring Magic called 'Spiritual Vision' allowed the user to see the undead and discern the truth.

But he was still far from performing a First-Ring Magic based on his meditation level and internal mana convergence, now merely a Junior Apprentice.

He was carefully sensing the pinprick feeling from the direction, the unsettling gaze translating into real feedback on the parts of his body being watched due to his spiritual acuity.

Though he couldn't yet enter a 'Spiritual Vision' state through spellcasting, he possessed a talent skill called Identification Skill.

A talent carried upon becoming a mage at thirty.

Tap... tap... tap...

The crisp sound of high heels suddenly echoed in the attic, clearly reaching Li Qing's ears.

As if a woman in high heels was continuously pacing up there, leisurely but steadily.

Li Qing immediately felt his hair stand on end, but thanks to his Wise Time Talent, he managed to remain relatively calm; he could always enter this frame of mind.

Since becoming a true man, the activated Wise Time Talent let him quickly reach optimal response mode.

As for going up to the attic...

Li Qing looked at his frail frame; if it was like in the dramas, with a suicide involving a bright red dress, it would be quite creepy.

Wisely, he chose not to go up yet, instead sitting quietly on the couch, watching his newly bought 65-inch Xiaomi TV.

The high heel sounds persisted for a while, then abruptly stopped, seemingly expecting Li Qing to react.
