Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 684: See the true essence tomorrow (new book content)

"Why are you here, it's so late."

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

Chen Chencheng raised her phone, and there were a few cracks at the top of the screen.

"My phone broke, and I thought since you're not too far away, I wanted you to accompany me to buy a new one."

Seeing the hesitation on Li Qing's face, Chen Chencheng was surprised: "No way, a girl actively seeks you out, and you're thinking of refusing?!"

"It's not that, it's just that it's already 8 PM, close to the New Year, I'm afraid not many phone stores will be open."

Li Qing felt a bit helpless, he really wanted to meditate for a while. These days he often chatted with Chen Chencheng on WeChat, and gradually became familiar. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Many times Li Qing stayed up late with panda eyes to receive the messages Chen Chencheng sent, only taking a break to recover.

In the past few months, he had almost replaced his sleep with meditation, and after each four-hour session he not only felt full of spirit, but his thoughts grew increasingly agile.

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

"Oh, really."

"Shall we go?"

Li Qing squinted at Chen Chencheng: "I think with your personality, you're someone who wouldn't bother unless there's something to gain, I doubt your current motives."

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

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

"Heartless!" Chen Chencheng grumbled unhappily: "I just can't find common ground with you straight guys."

After a moment's thought, Chen Chencheng took out a notebook from her bag and said, "Actually, I mainly want to see what behaviors a man like you, thirty years old, displays when shopping with a woman during the holidays. It's quite relevant to my research."

Li Qing was expressionless: "Boring."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Chen Chencheng hurriedly exclaimed, "Don't you want to learn how to find a girlfriend?"

Li Qing hesitated, thinking that he didn't have much to do tonight anyway, relaxing for a while would be fine, he could meditate when he returned.

As for the Magic Simulation System module, the motherboard identification was complete, the memory card progress was only 9% short of achieving 100% identification, after which the basic system program could start running, logically speaking it should work this way…

There was a lot of preparation work left to do, relaxing temporarily might ease the tension of his mind.

Eventually, he walked to her side under Chen Chencheng's slightly amused gaze.

"Let's go."

Throughout the casual chatting on the way, Chen Chencheng was quite perceptive, avoiding talk of her background or merchandise, instead she took the initiative to ask about Li Qing's areas of expertise.

Overall, Li Qing felt very at ease.

"I've come to realize why despite your good conditions, many guys keep away from you like you're a viper."

"Why?"

Li Qing summarized: "Your curiosity is too strong, and you're extremely proficient in psychology. At least you're subconsciously bringing your professional habits into your life, you're constantly scrutinizing your partner, then using language traps to lead them into your mindset, focusing on their inner thoughts when answering your questions." Chen Chencheng was surprised: "Really?"

"On the way here you've woven three linguistic traps at least, like when you kept undermining my views on relationships, challenging the inherent viewpoints."

Chen Chencheng: "I think everyone has their own views, there's nothing wrong with that."

"There's nothing wrong, but you're subtly placing yourself at a higher level. Though much of your language may be unconscious, you're putting me beneath you, you're looking for an obedient follower who listens to you entirely."

At this point Li Qing pinched his brow and said: "Chencheng, I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying it's not good for you."

Chen Chencheng fell into introspection, after three seconds she looked up and said: "I think you're wrong."

"Yeah, yeah, you're always right."

Li Qing had nothing to say, after all, this was her worldview built over nearly twenty years, not something that could be easily changed, nor did he intend to change anyone's ideas.

"…"

After arriving at the plaza, both unconsciously stopped and looked up at the sky full of fireworks.

After a while, when the fireworks gradually faded, Li Qing sighed: "Haven't seen this much excitement in years."

"It will be even livelier on New Year's Eve." Chen Chencheng smiled with crescent moon-shaped eyes: "It's been a long time since I've come out like this."

"How long is a long time?" Li Qing casually asked, his gaze fixed on the fading lights of the fireworks.

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

"Haven't been on any blind dates."

"I have, but..." Chen Chencheng seemed to finally catch on, her expression changed: "Seems like you said."

Li Qing shrugged: "Human nature is the least able to withstand tests, unless he's not familiar with you, let's go, buy a phone."

The two walked in silence to the phone section, Li Qing asked: "Which brand are you planning to buy?"

Chen Chencheng glanced around and said: "I've heard Huami's performance is not bad."

Li Qing nodded slightly: "Indeed, it's not bad."

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

"It's indeed not great."

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

Li Qing picked up his phone and said: "Look, my phone is a Huami, if you want to buy one of theirs, you'd better purchase from their official website or offline official stores for more assurance and exchange if problems arise."

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

Upon entering the store, a clerk approached them, seeing them looking at a phone, introduced: "You can take a look at our latest phone."

The clerk picked up a nearby phone and said: "This is our latest Huami 12, featuring the newest under-display camera, we can say it's the only one so far."

Chen Chencheng fiddled with the phone: "Under-display camera?"

The clerk explained: "Under-display cameras can be called under-display cameras, and its acronym is 'in-cam'."

"There's such an acronym?" Li Qing asked, interested.

"Of course!" the clerk said fluently, "For example, a phone without a screen protector or case held by the lady can be called an unwrapped in-cam, and a camera with beauty mode turned on can be called a beauty cam. In addition, there's front cam, rear cam, and a series of other naming conventions for cameras."

Chen Chencheng frowned: "Feels like something's a bit off."
