Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 656: See the real - tomorrow morning (new book content)
Even now, he still didn't feel sleepy. When people encounter something they are extremely interested in, they tend to be very passionate.
After temporarily closing the "Magic Origin," Li Qing's gaze fell upon the "Basic Meditation Technique." Upon gently touching it, these runes rapidly transformed and finally reappeared with content.
Li Qing spent a careful half hour reading the sparse content of less than a thousand words, along with a matching meditation image. This image was a sphere outlined by countless lines, emitting a faint glow. Just by staring at it for a moment, the sphere etched deeply into his mind.
It even formed a three-dimensional image in his mind, expanding and contracting with his thoughts...
Freaking amazing?!
Li Qing felt quite marvelous. If you call this magic, he had no doubt whatsoever. This kind of operation, where a glance deeply imprints in the mind, was simply too extraordinary.
Looking back at the pattern, the meditation image no longer emitted a faint glow, showing no abnormalities.
It seemed to be a one-time magic.
Feeling a bit excited, Li Qing clenched his fists and punched the bed several times to vent.
Creak! Creak! Creak...
"Keep it down next door, there's a single dog here!"
Hearing the somewhat outraged shout from next door, Li Qing forced himself to stop.
The place he rented wasn't very good, the sound insulation was poor, and even a slight disturbance could be heard next door.
After making sure everything was fine, he lay flat on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, immersed his spirit, and gradually fell into a semi-conscious state...
Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes, sighed helplessly after taking a long breath. In modern society, the material world is too rich, and the information everyone receives is extremely vast and distracting. Trying to rid the mind of these distractions completely is like a fool's dream.
It simply can't be done.
After pondering for a while, Li Qing checked the time. It was already past four in the morning, and feeling no sleepiness, he sat up and went to his computer.
After waking up the standby computer, he quietly opened his hidden folder...
Twenty minutes later, Li Qing looked indifferent; apart from feeling a little weak, he released the mouse with a sage-like gaze, then sat quietly on the bed, completely emptying his mind. He began to slowly outline lines in his mind according to the meditation image from the "Basic Meditation Technique."
Before drawing the lines, you need to construct your own origin point. The "Basic Meditation Technique" calls it the primal point, similar to a cosmic singularity, beginning to slowly give birth to your own small universe.
Gathering his primal point and outlining the first line seemed to have no obstacles, easily achieving the standards described in the "Basic Meditation Technique."
The entire outlining and visualization process was quite smooth, perhaps because there were no distractions in his mind, allowing for a high level of concentration.
It wasn't until the phone alarm rang that Li Qing opened his eyes reluctantly. Just as he was about to get up, a splitting headache suddenly struck him, causing his body to soften, and he fell straight to the ground.
He lay on the ground groaning for a good while, with the sound of explosions like firecrackers coming from the next door, before finally managing to prop himself up.
After struggling to climb back onto the bed, he looked at the contents on the paper scroll with bloodshot eyes.
The "Basic Meditation Technique" required immense mental effort to etch even one line before forming the light ball, causing Li Qing to end up in his current state.
His body slid, falling onto the bed and muddled for half an hour before groggily getting up.
He still had to work.
Forcibly enduring the headache, he took a shower to slightly alleviate the pain, then stuffed the paper scroll into his pocket and left.
While waiting for the bus, Li Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, the pain had lessened considerably, allowing him to focus on other things.
This was due to excessive mental exhaustion; he might need to be more mindful of the time next time.
Li Qing exhaled a long breath, the line he had drawn was distinctly ingrained in his mind, vividly appearing with a mere thought.
Seems pretty easy.
"Mom, look, that person looks like a panda!"
"Hush now! That's just smoky eye makeup!"
Li Qing snapped back and glanced at the mother and child standing nearby. When they saw him looking over, the woman pulled the kid a few steps away.
He smirked and turned to see the people around him glancing at him with curious eyes. As he glanced over, they all turned away.
Weird, did I really get discriminated against just for having bags under my eyes because I didn't sleep well last night?
After the bus arrived and he boarded, Li Qing skillfully slid to the back row and plopped down, tilting his head and pretending to sleep.
God knows why these old folks wake up so early to squeeze on the bus like this, making it tough for us young people to survive.
Oh, I'm not young anymore; from today onward, I'm considered middle-aged.
Thinking of this made Li Qing somewhat sad. Damn, I'm still an underachiever even now, really letting myself down in life.
Instinctively touching the paper scroll in his pocket, a touch of excitement appeared on his face.
He still hadn't calmed his mind.
After eight stops and somewhat regaining his energy, Li Qing forced himself to get off and walked a few hundred meters to the company building, waiting for the elevator.
Silently observing the crowd waiting for the elevator, he pondered that without last night's encounter, he'd be just like these people, many years later, still tied down by life, doing meaningless work day after day.
Though Li Qing knew many people were in the same situation as him, dissatisfied but choked by life.
There was only a month left until the school term started.
"Hey Brother Qing, what's got you so lost?"
A clear voice came from the side, pulling Li Qing back to his senses. He turned his head to see who it was and smiled, "Morning, Luo Rui."
It was the new finance employee, a recently graduated young girl with an incredibly lively personality who often came to chat or ask him questions.
Li Qing's current job was worth mentioning; he worked in a pharmaceutical company doing systems and hardware maintenance. Although it wasn't as technically demanding as development programming, it was an essential position for a company that had reached a certain size.
Everything from network setup, server maintenance, daily office software and hardware, to company system informatization was under his management.
This type of position is a one-man slot; as long as the company undergoes no major changes and the person has no big ambitions, it all seems predictable.
"Morning!"
Luo Rui flashed a sweet smile and then raised her hand, "I bought two buns; do you want one?"
