Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 650: See the truth tomorrow morning (leisurely new book content)

"Steel pan, tearfully whispering and floating by..."

Li Qing looked at his phone and saw it was a call from Chen Chencheng, so he answered it.

"Look out the window!" Chen Chencheng said first.

Li Qing was a bit startled, got up and walked to the window, seeing Chen Chencheng waving at him.

"Wait for me."

"Hurry up! I've never waited for a guy like this before!"

After hanging up, Li Qing quickly got dressed and dashed downstairs, walking up to Chen Chencheng, feeling somewhat surprised and slightly moved.

"What brings you here, at such a late hour?"

Li Qing also noticed that Chen Chencheng's attire was quite ordinary this time, no watch or necklace, just a cute little backpack.

Chen Chencheng held up her phone, which had several cracks on the screen.

"My phone broke, and I thought since you weren't too far away, I'd ask you to come with me to buy a new phone."

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

"Not really, it's just that it's already eight in the evening, nearing New Year's, and I doubt any phone shops are open."

Li Qing was a bit helpless, he genuinely wanted to meditate, and lately, he'd been chatting frequently with Chen Chencheng on WeChat, becoming quite familiar.

Many times Li Qing would receive messages from Chen Chencheng in the middle of the night, even when he had panda eyes, and would only recover during breaks.

Over the past few months, he almost completely replaced sleep with meditation. Each time after four hours, he felt not only recharged but also increasingly agile in thoughts.

"No way, the nearby Wanda Plaza is bustling!"

"Uh, really."

"Shall we go?"

Li Qing squinted at Chen Chencheng: "I think with your character, you wouldn't come early unless there was a benefit, I'm quite suspicious of your motives right now."

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

Li Qing replied bluntly: "Friend, you're twenty-six."

"Heartless!" Chen Chencheng muttered in dissatisfaction, "Can't chat with you straight men."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chencheng took out a notebook from her bag and said, "Actually, I mainly want to know what men like you, about thirty years old, would do when shopping with women during holidays, it's quite relevant to my research topic."

Li Qing replied with a blank expression: "Boring."

Having said that, he intended 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 to do tonight anyway, relaxing for a while was fine, meditation could wait until he returned.

As for the Magic Simulation System's recognition progress, the motherboard was already identified, the memory card was only nine percent away from full recognition, which would allow the basic system program to operate, logically speaking...

There's still a lot of preparation work to be done, temporarily relaxing is a way to relieve some tension.

Finally, he walked to her side under Chen Chencheng's slightly smiling gaze.

"Let's go."

As they chatted casually along the way, Chen Chencheng was quite perceptive, never mentioning her family background or any products, instead actively asked about Li Qing's areas of expertise.

Overall, Li Qing felt quite relaxed.

"I can sort of understand why despite your good conditions, many men avoid you."

"Why?"

Li Qing summarized: "Your curiosity is too strong, and you are extremely proficient in psychology. At the very least, you unconsciously bring your professional habits into your daily life, constantly scrutinizing your partner, then using language traps to guide them into your traps, and paying attention to their inner thoughts while answering your questions."

Chen Chencheng was surprised: "Do I?"

"Along the way, you've set up at least three language traps for me, like when you kept undermining my actions and refuting my views on our relationship."

Chen Chencheng: "I think everyone has their perspective, right?"

"It's true, but you subtly place yourself at a higher status. Although many words are unconsciously expressed, you really are putting me below you, you're looking for a slave who fully listens to you."

Saying this, Li Qing pinched his brow: "Chencheng, I don't mean any harm, I just want to say it's not good to be like this."

Chen Chencheng fell into introspection, contemplating for three seconds, then looked up and said, "I think you're wrong."

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

Li Qing had nothing to say. After all, the view she established over the past twenty years wasn't easy to change, and he had no intention to change her thoughts.

"..."

Once they reached the plaza, both instinctively halted to gaze at the fireworks filling the sky.

After a while, when the fireworks began to fade away, Li Qing remarked: "It's been years since I've seen it this lively."

"It'll be even lively on New Year's Eve," Chen Chencheng said, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, "It's been a long time since I've been out like this."

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

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

"No dating during that time?"

"I did, but..." Chen Chencheng seemed to finally catch on, her expression changed, "Just like you said."

Li Qing shrugged, "Human nature is most resistant to tests, unless he's not familiar with you. Let's go, buy the phone."

The two remained silent as they reached the phone area, where Li Qing asked, "What brand are you looking to buy?"

Chen Chencheng glanced around before speaking: "I heard Huami's performance is pretty good."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "It's indeed good."

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

"Indeed, it's not."

"…" Chen Chencheng: "Can't you give some constructive advice?"

Li Qing picked up his phone and said: "Look, my phone is Huami. If you plan to buy from them, it's best to purchase from the official online store and physical retail stores, that's more secure, and you can replace if there's an issue."

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

As soon as they entered the store, a staff member approached, seeing them looking at a phone, introduced it: "You can check out our latest model."

The staff picked up a phone nearby and said: "This is our latest Huami 12, equipped with the newest under-screen camera, currently unique to us."

Chen Chencheng fiddled with the phone and said: "Under-screen camera?"
