Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 724: See the real outcome tomorrow (new book content)

Facing the teasing tone from the other party, Li Qing's eye twitched slightly, and finally he said calmly, "How about we exchange WeChat?"

Hearing this, Chen Chencheng smiled and didn't refuse, "Sure!"

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

Li Qing instinctively shook his head, "I have something to do when I get back, plus with the seasons changing there's too much flu going around, better not gather too much, I'm off."

Then he left behind a flabbergasted Chen Chencheng.

After swiftly returning home and confirming that the system recognition progress had jumped to five percent, Li Qing let out a long 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 wrote was indeed full of practical content, with some tricks on using magic power that were quite novel to him.

So magic power can be used this way.

It saved him a great deal of time.

When he put on the hood again and entered the safe house at the Gray Magic Academy to continue studying, Li Qing couldn't help but pause upon seeing the introduction to the next chapter of the book.

"If a mage's body is too weak, it will greatly affect the mage's stage advancement, so come learn and trade with devils. They will transform your bodies, make them incredibly powerful, and bring you strong magic..."

Li Qing read it several times, confirming inside and out, ultimately concluding this was nothing but a full-on pyramid scheme.

This section was filled with the temptation of power, if Li Qing hadn't been baptized by online novels, overwhelmed by mindless marketing content, he might have really been led astray.

He was even more convinced that Gray Magic Academy was definitely not a proper magic academy but a presence that tempted people to fall into the abyss.

Damn it...

Li Qing cursed quietly, temporarily tossing "Magic Theory" aside, wandered around the safe house for a bit, then went upstairs to meditate for two hours, continued refining and increasing his magic power, then went downstairs back to his actual rented room and ordered four servings of fried rice.

Feeling full, Li Qing, clutching his belly, returned to the safe house to pick up and study the summoning magic of devils in "Magic Theory".

No choice, he's too addicted.

Devil summoning still requires drawing an array, then injecting magic power to summon devils, but if you're proficient you can directly communicate with magic nodes to summon devils from Alternate Space. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

But wanting to fully benefit from what the devils bring was still beyond his current capability.

For now, he wouldn't touch this summoning magic.

Time flowed like water, continuing during Li Qing's magic research immersion, until the day before the spring festival break, when the recognition progress of the magic simulation system module in the lower right corner finally reached one hundred percent.

Then, there was no response at all.

Li Qing grinned, continuing to place a brand new motherboard on himself to recognize.

Cpu, memory, motherboard, how could you not have the most basic core components of a computer.

Calculated the progress, it should be completed after the new year.

As for magic practice, his Mage's Hand magic could now be cast within three seconds and maintained for two hours, through increasingly skilled use, Li Qing could increasingly feel the coarseness of the Mage's Hand magic.

It should be more refined and efficient.

But Li Qing didn't dare to try to conduct experimental research on optimization, though this method was quite like mathematical formula derivation and code optimization with clumsy layers and bug fixes, he only had one life.

Magic Theory had already emphasized many times that if you attempted to create or modify a magic without having accumulated enough magical knowledge, the most likely outcome was that your head would explode like a watermelon.

So for now, he could only practice magic, meditate, study other books, and in the magic lecture each month, ask his doubts.

"Master Rosen, I want to ask, when I'm casting the Mage's Hand, I can sense the twelve magic nodes connected to it seem to be doing nothing, they are..."

During an early-February lecture, Li Qing brought up his doubts.

Rosenberg was a bit surprised, "I didn't expect your magic talent is quite good, seems like the human talent of converting to a mage at thirty is indeed unparalleled."

Li Qing chuckled twice without speaking, expecting Rosenberg to provide answers.

Despite Rosenberg's full malice towards the students, he still explained, "The Mage's Hand was originally created to facilitate the convenience for mages to pick up objects, and once the magic was crafted and optimized to practical use, it was never researched deeper."

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

"Why?" Rosenberg laughed, fiddling with his catfish-like mustache, "After all, it's just a Level 0 trick, high-level mages wouldn't look at it, while apprentices who need to learn this magic have no capability, also magic creation and optimization isn't so easy, maybe one day you'll advance to Legend, accumulate enough experience and knowledge, you might try to optimize a magic or even create a magic of your own."

After pausing, he slowly said, "It seems your progress is good, so if a mage wants to accumulate knowledge, I think you should find a book called 'Complete Level 0 Tricks' in the library."

"Thank you for the advice, Master!"

Rosenberg was quite satisfied with Li Qing's respectful words, nodding slightly, he looked up at everyone, clapped his hands, "Alright everyone, after two more lectures, we'll have an apprentice exam, hope you prepare well."

The sudden announcement made everyone who was about to leave stop in their tracks, someone asked, "Master Rosen, what is the content of the apprentice exam?"

"That's a secret!"

Rosenberg's hazy features showed a faintly mysterious smile, "But I can remind you all, the rules of each world are different, if you can't parse them, then you can only use magic, so, prepare well."

The smile on his face couldn't help but make Li Qing's heart tremble, what on earth was this filled with malice up to.

The final, profound words made Li Qing's heart chill, presumably this exam could be deadly.

He subconsciously touched the motherboard kept close to his chest, then swiftly left the classroom, activated the school badge, and followed its guidance towards the library.
