Just as he was about to casually put it down, Li Qing's movement suddenly paused, his face showing an extremely surprised expression.
The progress rate behind the module construction progress of the Magic Simulation System in the lower right corner of his vision had quietly changed to "identifying".
He jumped up and punched the air a few times with extreme excitement. This had solved a major problem for him.
Li Qing had a premonition that this Magic Simulation System module would be of great help to him.
He decided: he wouldn't put down the CPU until it's fully identified, later he would find a way to keep the progress in the palm of his hand!
"Little Li, what are you doing?"
Li Qing turned his head and couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Chen, what brings you to the computer room?"
Yes, the capable character in professional attire before him was the administrative lady, Chen Ke.
Although called an aunt, she was quite beautiful, but her demeanor made people subconsciously overlook her appearance.
He already guessed what she wanted to ask.
"How have you been getting along with Chen Chencheng?"
Li Qing replied somewhat perfunctorily, "It's progressing well, but her family background is so good, I'm afraid I don't match up."
The meaning inside was very clear to Li Qing.
Two words: no chance.
Chen Ke frowned. As an administrative manager, interpreting subtle cues was a basic skill, and she could tell that Li Qing hadn't been earnestly talking.
She frowned and said, "Little Li, you're already thirty, not young anymore. I know about her family. When I talked to them, they clearly stated that as long as the guy's character is normal and he doesn't have any major faults, it's fine."
Seeing Chen Ke was a little angry, Li Qing quickly said, "Sister Chen, I promise to contact her soon and ask her out!" Thıs content belongs to novel-fire.ɴet
Chen Ke relaxed her frown, nodded slightly and said, "That's more like it."
Then she continued earnestly, "Little Li, if you were at the director or manager level, I wouldn't rush you to find a girlfriend, since thirty is the peak career period for men. But you need to understand, since you've decided on a laid-back stance, you have to prioritize your personal matters."
Li Qing earnestly replied, "Sister Chen, don't worry, I'll keep it in mind!"
Watching Chen Ke leave satisfied, Li Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, warm in his heart. Although Chen Ke's words were sharp, everything was for his good.
Since he lacked the ambition to make a name in the workplace, he needed to look after his small life.
Even though he learned magic, it didn't mean he was detached from society.
He pulled out his phone absentmindedly, found the contact for Chen Chencheng given by Chen Ke, and forced himself to dial it.
After so many years without a relationship, Li Qing was a bit resistant to truly interacting with the opposite sex. Although he often said he wanted a girlfriend, when it came to actually interacting with women, he was hesitant, overthinking the future before taking action...
"Hello, who is this?" A sweet voice of Chen Chencheng came through the phone.
Li Qing adjusted his mindset and spoke, "It's me, Li Qing."
The other side was silent for a while, seemingly surprised, and the tone became more casual.
"Wow, I didn't expect the busy man to call me."
Hearing Chen Chencheng's laughter, Li Qing was a bit helpless, but maintained his tone without arrogance, "Do you have time tonight? Want to grab a meal?"
"Sure, what time and where?"
After Li Qing gave the address and set the time, they didn't chat more and he quickly returned to researching his cheat ability.
After three hours of observation, he found that the identification progress jumped one percent per hour. Such a progress estimate was acceptable to Li Qing, as it would take just over four days to fully identify.
This speed was quite gratifying.
Next, it was time to study how to simulate and edit.
With his current brain, although he hadn't really dealt with development before, it wasn't that he couldn't understand the code.
Adult learning is painful, but for a brain developed by "Basic Meditation Technique", it seemed quite easy. What appeared to be complex code modules became extremely simple, even allowing for extending understanding, enabling flexible use of a function's code.
Moreover, his memory had improved significantly. Although not photographic, serious memorization of a few times allowed for full retention.
In between handling several system issues until the end of the workday, Li Qing, somewhat reluctant, finally tore his gaze away from the computer screen.
Adult learning is painful, especially in a position like his in operations and maintenance, requiring constant learning.
But Li Qing never found learning as easy as it was in this period. The Wise Man's Time provided him with strong self-discipline, as well as more efficient learning and powerful thinking agility.
It's impressive. He originally thought the talent skill he developed from conjuring fireballs was a disgrace, but it turned out to be so powerful.
It's rather like what the Taoist Family says about the Supreme forgetful sentiment, yet it doesn't eliminate humanity or emotions, it turns into a state similar to a rationalist.
After work, Li Qing slowly walked to a coffee shop near the company as scheduled, ordered some sweets and coffee, and waited for Chen Chencheng to arrive.
After scrolling his phone for a while, Li Qing saw a pair of Martin boots standing next to him. Looking up, he saw Chen Chencheng standing coyly in front of him.
Slim-fit jeans, a black cotton jacket with a scarf, and a hooded cap, she looked quite fresh and lovely.
Li Qing stood up with a smile and said, "Sit."
"Sorry, did you wait long?"
"No, I just got here not long ago."
After a bit of small talk, they both fell into silence. Li Qing, rather awkwardly, realized he couldn't find any topic to talk about with Chen Chencheng. His mind was completely blank.
Seeing Li Qing's demeanor, Chen Chencheng immediately noticed his embarrassment and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you finding it hard to come up with topics to discuss with me?"
Being pointed out for his awkwardness made it even more awkward. He nodded very awkwardly, "A bit at a loss for words."
"So you asked me out… Oh, I get it. Aunt Chen pushed you today, and you reluctantly agreed, so you had to ask me out again?"
Li Qing was surprised, "You guessed so accurately?"
Chen Chencheng took out a notebook from her bag and flipped it open, speaking as she did, "You know, I'm a psychologist currently pursuing a Ph.D. My main research is on a social topic called 'The Ability of Men Single for More Than Five Years to Pick Up Interactions with the Opposite Sex.'"
