Starting with Proficiency Panel

"Why are you here, this late at night?"

At the same time, Li Qing noticed that Chen Chencheng's outfit was quite ordinary this time, no watch or necklace, and she was even carrying a rather cute little backpack.

Chen Chencheng held up her phone, with a few cracks at the top of the screen.

"My phone is broken, and thinking it's not too far from you, I thought you could accompany me to buy a new phone."

Seeing the hesitation on Li Qing's face, Chen Chencheng exclaimed, "Are you serious? A girl comes to find you, and you're thinking of refusing?!"

"It's not that, it's just that it's eight pm, getting close to the New Year, I'm afraid there aren't many phone shops open."

Li Qing felt a bit helpless; he really wanted to meditate tonight. These days he often chats with Chen Chencheng on WeChat, and they've become quite familiar.

Many times, Li Qing, with panda eyes, could still receive messages from Chen Chencheng in the middle of the night, and would only recover during breaks.

For these few months, he's almost replaced his sleep with meditation, and each time after four hours, he's not only fully recharged but his mental agility has also significantly improved.

"There's no way, the Wanda Plaza nearby is bustling!"

"Uh, really?"

"Are we going?"

Li Qing eyed Chen Chencheng sideways: "I think with your personality, you never do anything without profit. I'm very suspicious of your motives right now."

Chen Chencheng looked innocent: "What bad intentions could a little girl possibly have?"

Li Qing retorted bluntly, "Friend, you're already twenty-six."

"Insensitive!" Chen Chencheng pouted, "That's why I never connect with guys like you."

After thinking for a while, Chen Chencheng took out a notebook from her bag and said, "Actually, I mainly want to know what behaviors occur when a thirty-year-old man goes shopping with a woman during holidays. It's quite relevant to my research topic."

Li Qing showed no expression: "Boring."

Having said that, he turned to leave, but Chen Chencheng quickly called out: "Don't you want to learn how to find a girlfriend?"

Li Qing hesitated, thinking he didn't have much planned for tonight anyway; relaxing a bit should be fine, meditation can wait until he returns.

As for the progress of the Magic Simulation System module, the motherboard identification is complete, just nine percent more for the memory card to be fully identified, then the basic system programs can run, logically speaking...

There's still a lot of preparation work ahead, relaxing a bit can also ease the tense strings of the heart.

Finally, he ended up walking beside Chen Chencheng under her slightly amused gaze.

"Let's go."

As they casually chatted along the way, Chen Chencheng was quite perceptive, avoiding topics about her family or products, instead actively asking about Li Qing's specialties.

This made Li Qing feel quite relaxed.

"I can see why, although you're so qualified, many men treat you like a snake."

"Why?"

Li Qing summarized, "Your curiosity is too strong, and you're extremely well-versed in psychology. At least you subconsciously bring your professional habits into your life, evaluating your partner constantly, and using language to guide them into your traps, focusing on their inner thoughts when answering your questions." Chen Chencheng asked in surprise, "Really?"

"On this trip, you've led me into three different language traps, such as earlier when you consistently undermined my actions, contradicting my nuanced view of our relationship."

Chen Chencheng: "I think everyone has their own view, that's not wrong, right?"

"It's not wrong, but you subtly elevate your status to a higher angle, although many of your words are unconsciously revealed, you certainly place me beneath you, you're looking for a slave who fully listens to you."

At this point, Li Qing rubbed his temples: "Chencheng, I mean no offense. I'm just saying this is not good."

Chen Chencheng fell into introspection, pondering for three seconds, then raised her head: "I think you're wrong."

"Right, right, everything you say is right."

Li Qing had no more to say, after all, it's not easy to change someone's twenty-year established worldview, nor did he intend to alter her thoughts.

"..."

At the plaza, both stopped and looked up at the fireworks filling the sky.

After a while, once the fireworks slowly faded away, Li Qing remarked, "Haven't seen such excitement for years."

"It'll be even more lively on New Year's Eve." Chen Chencheng, with crescent moon-shaped eyes, said, "I haven't come out like this for a long time."

"How long is a long time?" Li Qing casually asked, his gaze fixed on the gradually dissipating fireworks.

"About a year, just the psychology clinic and home, nothing else."

"No blind dates in between."

"I did, but..." Chen Chencheng finally caught on, her expression changed, "Seems like you said."

Li Qing shrugged: "Human nature is the hardest to test unless he's not your acquaintance. Come, let's buy phones."

The two walked silently to the phone area, where Li Qing asked, "What brand are you looking to buy?"

Chen Chencheng looked around and said, "I heard Huami has pretty good performance."

Li Qing nodded slightly, "It is pretty good."

"But I heard their quality control isn't great."

"It's not great indeed."

"..." Chen Chencheng asked, "Can't you give some constructive advice?"

Li Qing picked up his phone and said, "Look, my phone is Huami. If you want to buy from them, it's best to purchase at their official online store or offline flagship stores for better assurance, where in case of problems, you can exchange."

Chen Chencheng: "Alright, let's go in and take a look."

Once inside, a clerk approached. Seeing the two looking at a phone model, he came over to introduce, "Both of you can check out our latest phone model here."

The clerk picked up a phone nearby, saying, "This is our latest Huami 12, featuring the newest under-display camera, currently one of a kind."

Chen Chencheng played with the phone, "Under-display camera?"

The clerk explained, "The camera within the screen can be referred to as a screen camera, and the abbreviation for screen camera is 'inner camera'."

"There's an abbreviation like that?" Li Qing asked with interest.

"Of course!" the clerk said adeptly, "For example, a phone without a screen protector or case can be called a bare inner camera, a beauty-enhanced camera can be called a beauty camera. Apart from that, there are front cameras, rear cameras, and various naming methods."
