Starting with Proficiency Panel

"Actually, most phones now have built-in non-removable batteries. An original battery wouldn't generally have this issue. Sir, you probably bought a battery online and replaced it yourself."

The clerk smiled and explained, "However, there are many reasons why a battery might bloat.

For example, charging for long periods without unplugging the charger; using different charger models to charge multiple times; frequently plugging and unplugging the charger irregularly; unstable charging voltage; differences between domestic and international standards; two or more chargers working at the same time; using both direct current and alternating current; using other auxiliary cooling devices while charging, causing extreme instability in the battery; the last reason is the port burning and blackening due to high charging frequency."

The clerk concluded, "Overall, these are probably the reasons... Sir, why does your face have a few marks on it?"

Li Qing: "I don't know, seemed like something ran over me just now, but don't worry about it."

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

"Alright, as long as it supports our country's products."

She stated bluntly, "Isn't your Huami known for bad quality control? If there's a problem, can we get a replacement?"

The clerk didn't mind Chen Chencheng's criticism, after all, they knew their own shortcomings, and said with a smile, "Of course, as long as it's not human-induced damage, any other internal problem will be handled by direct replacement."

Chen Chencheng happily paid the money, and as they left the mall while fiddling with the phone, they stopped at a small shop to eat.

The two stood at the intersection, looking at each other.

Seeing Chen Chencheng's hesitant face, Li Qing curiously asked, "What's up?"

"Do you think when a girl doesn't suggest going home, it's a sign she wants to spend more time with the guy?"

Li Qing: "But I always feel that you're not wanting to spend more time with me, it's more like you're observing my behavior and actions, right?"

Chen Chencheng didn't deny it and earnestly replied, "Indeed."

"Why?"

"You're different!"

Li Qing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "How different?"

"Something's off about you!"

"Huh?"

Chen Chencheng said seriously, with conviction, "There's something wrong with you mentally, I can see it."

Li Qing chuckled, "Then tell me, what's wrong with me."

"I've come across cases like yours many times."

Li Qing's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh, how so?"

Chen Chencheng assessed, "People like you are completely immersed in a world you've built yourself and can't extricate yourself, centered entirely on your own perspective and indifferent to others' opinions, and there's a sense of superiority believing you've seen through everything in the world."

Finally, Chen Chencheng concluded, "In ancient times, this would be called 'hysteria,' in modern terms, it's 'dissociative disorder,' you're sick and need treatment!"

Then she hesitated, "We've known each other for quite some time, so I'll just charge you a symbolic treatment fee."

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

Li Qing laughed twice without any emotion, a typical fake smile, and then turned to leave.

Staying with this psychologist might actually make him start doubting his world view, questioning life, wondering if the magic he learned is fake, or just fantasies from an unwillingness to live a mediocre life...

It's terrifying, staying away from this woman in the future is essential!

"Hey!! Hey! Come back!"

Chen Chencheng watched Li Qing leave quickly, with a smile that said 'I knew it.'

"Hah, looks like I hit his sore spot, with a little more force, we should be able to wake him up."

She narcissistically said, "Eh, since I'm a good person, encountering this means I can't ignore it."

Li Qing disappeared into the night without looking back.

After returning home, Li Qing let out a long sigh, finding it difficult to realize that Chen Chencheng was treating him as a patient and was surprised she could deduce his recent anomalies from his behavior.

But as for hysteria...

Li Qing sneered, one day, when I disregard the entire world, I'll show her what hysteria is!

Ignoring the messages from Chen Chencheng, Li Qing lay on his bed and slowly entered a meditation state. Since condensing magic to become apprentice level, his talent has included Wise Man's Time, which has greatly improved his efficiency in practicing meditation, learning new magical knowledge, or casting magic.

In general, even apprentices need incantation spellcasting to cast level 0 magic, although the syllables are brief, it's still necessary.

But Li Qing doesn't need that, he just has to connect magic nodes to perform spellless magic.

Analysis, construction, stabilization, release.

Analyze magic, construct magic nodes, maintain node operation, guide release with spiritual power.

Analyzing magic is naturally the learning process, understanding the principles, constructing the flow nodes, then maintaining, solidifying, and finally guiding the release of magic with his spiritual power.

It seems simple, but if you don't spend a lot of time practicing, the success rate of spellcasting will be quite low.

Four hours later, Li Qing woke up from meditation, donned a black robe, and entered into the safe house straight to the alchemy platform next to the magic altar in the basement.

Faced with the dim and gloomy basement, Li Qing took a moment, held the magic books, and slowly followed the 'Light Technique' magic flow nodes recorded above.

Maintain, then release.

Watching the sudden appearance of a light ball flash in his hand with no further reaction, Li Qing wasn't discouraged. The success rate of magic isn't one hundred percent from the start; it requires a lot of practice.

After four hours of tedious practice, excitedly holding the Light Technique's released light ball, he watched as it illuminated the entire basement like an egg-sized dim light.

This was an unsuccessful magic release. Normally, this egg-sized Light Technique should illuminate the whole ninety-square-meter basement fully.

Soft light like daylight.

Even then, after activating his Wise Time Talent, it only took four hours to achieve this level. If an ordinary magic apprentice were to attempt it, four hours would merely allow familiarization with the magic nodes.

Finishing today's tasks a bit unsatisfied, Li Qing put down the book, finally focusing on the pitch-black screen in his mind.

The motherboard, CPU, memory, and PCIe-level 2TB solid-state drive were all loaded, along with the pre-prepared BIOS motherboard system finally resulting in this pitch-black screen.

After waiting for a moment, until Li Qing felt a bit dizzy, suddenly the screen displayed a system error; unable to find the system, failing to log in properly.
