Li Qing gulped down his coffee: "So, I think this is why there are more and more single men and women nowadays."
Chen Chencheng was silent for a long time, then said somewhat troubled: "This topic actually touches on the current social dynamics. It’s really tough. I’m kind of regretting choosing this topic for my doctoral thesis."
She sighed deeply and then understood: "No wonder the last time we met, you were so careful to make sure there was no further possibility between us and then acted so shrewd."
Li Qing was dumbfounded: "That’s not called shrewd, it’s an understanding of self-positioning. If I were to persist in developing anything with you, the most likely outcome would be me trying my best to please you and gradually becoming a sycophant, after all, we’re not on the same level."
The term ’sycophant’ was too heavy, and having experienced it, Li Qing would definitely not fall into such self-degrading situations again.
It was all a tale of bitterness and tears.
"Not on the same level?" Chen Chencheng was curious: "How do you figure that out?"
Li Qing glanced over: "Your bag is LV, your watch is Longines, your necklace is Tiffany, tsk... all the stuff on you must add up to nearly a million, so in your eyes, I should be like an interesting condiment, no matter how odd your personality is or how hard it is for you to find someone, with your looks and assets, it will never be my turn."
Chen Chencheng was a bit embarrassed, trying hard to adjust her clothing and sleeves to cover her necklace and watch, while also shifting her body to block her bag.
"I think these material things shouldn’t be an obstacle for two people in love!"
Li Qing speechless replied: "Quite the contrary, for ordinary people, the biggest obstacle to love is indeed material things."
Chen Chencheng suddenly found herself unable to debate with Li Qing.
"Isn’t it right to be nice to girls?"
"It is, but reciprocal exchange would be the best state."
Chen Chencheng understood: "No wonder why you have a decent job, look okay, yet still can’t find a girlfriend, this is the reason."
She listed one by one: "Too straightforward, once your heart is set, there’s no hesitation, also too focused on benefits, and your words are too blunt!"
She emphasized the last few words.
Li Qing maintained his smile, reminding himself to never argue over meaningless things with anyone, especially women.
"Right, right, everything you said is right."
Chen Chencheng was infuriated.
The two of them fell silent for a while, and then Li Qing took the initiative to start the conversation: "Do you guys study psychology have research on people’s spirits?"
"Spirit, which aspect are you referring to, this term is too broad." Chen Chencheng’s tone was still not great, but she maintained a rigorous attitude toward her profession.
Li Qing tried to guide: "From what aspects do you psychologists view people?"
Chen Chencheng flipped her hair, unconsciously twirled her pen, pondered, and then spoke: "It’s quite simple. When I meet a patient, I’ll analyze why they are in such a state, what causes it, whether there’s a genetic basis, any early family environment reasons, or major life events they’ve been through. Also, their behavior and actions."
A trace of secrecy appeared on her face: "Actually, us psychology students strongly believe there’s a reason for good and evil; no one is inherently evil or inherently kind."
"So, what kind of person do you think I am?" Li Qing asked with great interest.
"You?" Chen Chencheng looked him up and down and finally said: "You’re a good person! Actually, I just pointed out your previous question, but nobody’s perfect, from the boundary between good and evil, you are a good person."
With a teasing tone from the other party, Li Qing’s eye twitched slightly, finally calmly saying: "How about adding me on WeChat?"
Hearing this, Chen Chencheng smiled and didn’t refuse: "Sure!"
After exchanging WeChat, they chatted casually for a bit. Just as they were about to leave, Chen Chencheng suddenly said: "I remember there’s a movie that just came out that’s pretty good, want to check it out?"
Li Qing instinctively shook his head: "I have something to do when I get back, and besides, with the flu season due to the changing seasons, it’s better not to gather too much. Goodbye."
This left Chen Chencheng stunned with a blank face.
Back home quickly, after confirming the system’s recognition progress jumped to five percent, Li Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to studying the "Magic Theory" book on the parchment.
Although Zhuang Xu seemed malicious, his authored Magic Book was truly full of practical insights, and some of the small techniques for using Magic Power were quite eye-opening for him.
It turns out Magic Power can be used too.
This saved him a great deal of time.
When he returned to the safe house of Gray Magic Academy for further reading, Li Qing paused at the introduction to the in the book.
"If a Mage’s body is too frail, it will severely affect their stage progression. So, learn to trade with Devils, they’ll transform your bodies, making you incredibly strong, while also providing powerful magic..."
Li Qing read it several times, thoroughly verifying it, finally concluding this was completely a pyramid scheme.
This section’s content was filled with the temptation of Power. If it weren’t for Li Qing being seasoned by internet novels and bombarded by senseless literature from various marketing accounts, he would have been led astray.
He was even more certain that Gray Magic Academy was not a proper Magic Academy, but rather something that leads one to fall into the Abyss.
Li Qing cursed in his heart, temporarily tossing the Magic Theory book aside, wandered around the safe house a bit, then went up to the second floor, lay on the bed, meditated for two hours, continued refining, increasing Magic Power, went downstairs back to reality apartment and ordered four portions of fried rice.
After eating to fullness, Li Qing, with a full belly, returned to the safe house and picked up the Magic Theory to research the Summoning Magic of Devils.
No way, the addiction is too great.
Demon Summoning still requires drawing the Array, then injecting Magic Power for Demon Summoning, but if proficient, it can directly communicate Magic Nodes to communicate Alternate Space to summon a Devil.
But trying to fully handle what the Devil brings is something he can’t accept right now.
For now, he can’t touch this Summoning Magic.
Time flows like water, always passing in Li Qing’s immersion in magic research, near the eve of the Spring Festival break, his lower right corner’s Magic Simulation System module’s recognition progress finally reached one hundred percent.
Then, there was no response at all.
Li Qing grinned, continued to place a new motherboard on himself for recognition. Latest content publıshed on NoveI~Fire.net
CPU, memory, motherboard, how can the most basic core components of a computer be incomplete?
Estimating the progress, he should likely complete it after the new year.
