Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 728: See the truth in 2 hours (Leisurely new book content)

"Of course!" The shop assistant said skillfully, "For example, if the lady's phone doesn't have a screen protector or case, it can be called 'bare shooting,' and if you use the beauty filter, it's called 'beauty shooting.' Besides that, there are terms like front camera, rear camera, and so on."

Chen Chencheng frowned, "I feel like something isn't quite right here."

"Oh, is that so? My phone battery recently swelled up, what might be the cause of that?" Li Qing asked curiously.

"Actually, nowadays most are built-in non-removable batteries. The original battery wouldn't have such an issue. Sir, you probably bought a battery online and replaced it yourself, right?"

The shop assistant explained with a smile, "But there are many reasons why a battery might swell."

"For example, long charging times without unplugging the charger; using multiple chargers of different models; irregular frequent plugging and unplugging; unstable charging voltage; differences in domestic and international standards; two or more chargers working simultaneously; mixing DC and AC; using additional cooling devices during charging causing extreme instability in the battery; and lastly, frequent charging leading to the port being burned and blackened."

The shop assistant summed up, "So overall, these are the main reasons... Hey sir, why do you have some marks on your face?"

Li Qing: "I don't know, it seems like something ran over me just now, but no need to worry about it."

He turned to ask Chen Chencheng, "This phone should be pretty good, let's go with this one."

"That works, after all, we should support domestic products." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

She straightforwardly said, "Doesn't Huami have poor quality control? If there's a problem, can we exchange it?"

The shop assistant didn't mind Chen Chencheng's criticism, knowing their own issues, and said with a smile, "Of course, as long as it's not man-made damage, we'll directly replace it if there are any issues inside."

Chen Chencheng paid happily, fiddled with it all the way out of the mall, and after eating at a small shop.

The two stood at a street corner, looking at each other.

Seeing Chen Chencheng hesitate to speak, Li Qing asked strangely, "What's up with this?"

"Don't you think when a girl doesn't mention going home, it means she wants to spend more time with the guy?"

Li Qing: "But I keep feeling like you're not wanting to spend more time with me, rather to observe my behavior?"

Chen Chencheng didn't deny it but said seriously, "Indeed."

"Why?"

"You're different!"

Li Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "How am I different?"

"You're not right!"

"Huh?"

Chen Chencheng, with a serious expression, firmly said, "You have issues in your mind, I can see it."

Li Qing laughed, "Then go ahead, tell me what issues I have."

"I've encountered cases like yours many times before."

A spark of interest flashed in Li Qing's eyes, "Oh, how so?"

Chen Chencheng evaluated, "People like you are completely immersed in a world of your own creation, unable to extricate yourself, focused entirely on yourself without caring about others' viewpoints, and have a self-imposed sense of superiority as if you've seen through everything in the world."

Finally, Chen Chencheng concluded, "In ancient terms, it's hysteria, in modern terms it's called dissociative disorder, you have a problem and need treatment!"

She hesitated for a moment, "Since we've known each other for such a long time, I'll just charge you a symbolic treatment fee."

"Haha, you're really kind..."

Li Qing laughed twice with a typical fake smile, then turned and walked away.

If he stayed any longer with this psychologist, he'd probably end up brainwashed, doubting his worldview, questioning life, and suspecting the magic he'd learned was fake, a fantasy created from an unfulfilled life...

Too scary; he must stay away from this woman in the future!

"Hey!! Hey! Come back!"

Watching Li Qing leave quickly, Chen Chencheng grinned with a knowing smile.

"Ha, seems like I hit a nerve in his heart. Just need to push harder, and I should be able to wake him up."

She said somewhat narcissistically, "Well, who says I'm a good person? Since I've encountered this, I can't ignore it."

Li Qing vanished into the night without looking back.

After returning home, Li Qing sighed deeply, quite difficult to grasp, not realizing that Chen Chencheng viewed him with a patient's mindset, also surprised she could discern his recent abnormality just from behavior.

But as for hysteria...

Li Qing chuckled coldly; one day when he ignores the whole world, he'll show her what hysteria really is!

Ignoring the messages Chen Chencheng sent, Li Qing lay on the bed, slowly entering a meditative state. Ever since he concentrated his magic power to become Apprentice Level, his talent in Wise Man's Time greatly improved his efficiency in practicing meditation, learning new magical knowledge or casting magic.

Generally speaking, even an apprentice casting Level 0 magic requires incantation spellcasting, though the syllables are brief, it's still necessary.

But not for Li Qing, as long as he completes the connection of magic nodes, he can perform spellless magic.

Analysis, construction, solidification, release.

Analyzing magic, constructing magic power nodes, maintaining node operation, guiding release through Spiritual Power.

Analyzing magic is naturally the learning process, understanding the principle of magic, constructing magic flow nodes, then maintaining, consolidating, and leading the magic release with one's spiritual power.

It seems simple, but in actual practice, if ample time isn't invested, the success rate of casting is significantly low.

Four hours later, Li Qing awoke from meditation, donned a black robe and entered the safe house, heading directly to the Alchemy Platform next to the underground Magic Altar.

In the dark and somber basement, Li Qing prepared for a moment, holding a Magic Book, and slowly followed the recorded Light Technique magic flow nodes.

Maintain, then release.

Watching the sudden appearance of a light ball flash but then unresponsive, Li Qing wasn't discouraged. The success rate of magic isn't one hundred percent initially, requiring extensive practice.

After four hours of tedious practice, Li Qing excitedly held the light ball released from the Light Technique in his hand, about the size of an egg, dimly illuminating the entire basement.

This is a result of unsuccessful magic casting; under normal circumstances, this egg-sized Light Technique should brightly illuminate the entire 90-square-meter basement fully.

Soft light like daylight.

This is after he activated his Wise Time Talent, spending only four hours to achieve this level. For an average Magic Apprentice, in four hours, the only achievable task would be practicing the magic nodes proficiently.
