The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 603 Forgetting Time

After eating and resting for a while, Li Qin went to night school as usual when it was almost time.

Go home and rest after class.

The next day, Li Qin went to the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill as usual.

Originally, Li Qin planned to inform Wang Dawei and Chang Xia, just like the previous two days, before leaving the steel rolling mill to practice his magic spell.

But before he could go to Wang Dawei, the team leader, Wang Dawei took the initiative to come to him.

"Li Qin, Director Li needs to see you. He asked me to tell you to go to his office as soon as you arrive at work."

Wang Dawei said to Li Qin with a smile.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Qin's face.

He knew that the Director Li that Wang Dawei was talking about was his uncle, Li Huaide.

He was a little puzzled, though, as Li Huaide rarely took the initiative to contact him, and today was an exception to his usual behavior.

I wonder what happened?

Although he had doubts, Li Qin immediately nodded;

"Thank you, team leader. I understand. I'll go right away."

After delivering the message, Wang Dawei nodded and left.

Li Qin could only put aside his own affairs for the time being and prepare to go and see Li Huaide.

"Uncle Li, is there something you need from me?"

Upon arriving at Li Huaide's office, Li Qin made no attempt to be polite and immediately asked what was on his mind.

Li Huaide was not at all surprised by Li Qin's directness.

Having spent so much time together, Li Huaide believed he had a fairly good understanding of Li Qin's personality.

At this moment, Li Huaide glared at Li Qin with some annoyance, then said helplessly, "Have you forgotten how many days have passed? Don't you even know what time it is? Why aren't you nervous at all?"

Li Qin looked at Li Huaide with a puzzled expression and asked him in confusion.

"What day is it? It doesn't seem special, why should I be nervous?"

He was genuinely doubtful.

Seeing Li Qin's bewildered expression, Li Huaide once again showed a helpless look;

"I really don't know what to say to you, kid. Haven't you noticed that there are less than ten days until Chinese New Year?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Qin subconsciously said something.

"Less than ten days? That fast?"

Then he saw Li Huaide nod seriously.

During this period, Li Qin was either immersed in learning the wizarding tradition or focused on cultivating spells.

For a moment, I completely forgot the exact time.

He remembered that the Lunar New Year was indeed not far away, but he did not expect that there would be less than ten days left.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Li Qin's innocent eyes, Li Huaide couldn't help but sigh.

"I really don't know what to say to you, kid. You've completely lost track of time. If I hadn't reminded you, when would you have realized it?"

Li Qin smiled somewhat awkwardly.

At this moment, he had a vague idea of ​​why Li Huaide was looking for him.

That's why he understood Li Huaide's attitude at this time even better.

Li Huaide continued at this point;

"Our factory always has a holiday on New Year's Eve and resumes work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The holiday is just around the corner."

"How's the situation with the supplies? You haven't even checked on it."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

He had just guessed that Li Huaide was looking for him about supplies.

This has now been confirmed.

Li Qin thought this was perfectly normal.

After all, there are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, and it takes time to prepare before and after going to the steel mill to deliver supplies.

There is indeed not much time left to prepare supplies.

However, Li Qin was preoccupied with his own affairs and did not send any new information to Li Huaide during this time.

It's understandable that Li Huaide was anxious.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. Meng Yuan said last time that the supplies had been prepared. Based on the timeline, these supplies are probably already on their way to Beijing."

As for the hunters I contacted, I've already told them that they're probably already preparing to go into the mountains to hunt.

"Li Qin quickly spoke up."

Although Li Qin spoke with great certainty, Li Huaide was still somewhat uneasy after not receiving any news for so long.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately patted his chest and said;

"Since you're in such a hurry, Uncle Li, I'll contact Meng Yuan today to find out about his supplies. Once I've confirmed that, I'll go to the countryside to contact those hunters."

"Check if all the wild boars in the mountains have been hunted down."

Hearing this, Li Huaide's worried expression finally softened.

He nodded to Li Qin;

"Then I'll trouble you to confirm this."

"It's not hard work!"

Li Qin quickly shook his head.

Li Qin was a man of action; having said he would go and ascertain the situation of the supplies, he naturally wouldn't waste any time.

The main reason was that he could see Li Huaide's anxiety;

"Uncle Li, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go check on Meng Yuan now. If all goes well, I should be back before lunchtime."

Even though it's just an act, you have to go all the way.

Although Meng Yuan is a fictional character, merely an alias for Li Qin, he still needs to leave the steel rolling mill for the sake of plausibility.

They pretended to check on the supplies.

Li Huaide did not speak, but simply nodded slightly;

"Then be careful on the road."

Li Qin nodded, then left Li Huaide's office with a serious expression.

He left the steel rolling mill on his bicycle without saying goodbye to the purchasing department.

However, as soon as Li Qin left the steel rolling mill, the expression on his face immediately relaxed, and the anxiety in his eyes disappeared.

He was just acting; he wasn't worried at all.

"It's only a little past nine o'clock now, and there are about two hours until noon. I just need to get back to the steel rolling mill before 11:30."

In other words, I have nearly two hours of free time, which I can use to study Occlumency.

Li Qin glanced at the time and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He didn't plan to wander around Beijing for two hours; instead, he intended to make the most of it.

If it were any other kind of spell, Li Qin really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to produce much progress in two hours.

However, the brain shut-off procedure is different.

When practicing this spell, one should pay more attention to mastering one's own emotions, memory, and spirit.

Generally speaking, if one has someone skilled in mind control to cooperate with, cultivation will be much faster.

Although Li Qin had no one to cooperate with, he fused with the divine essence.

The divine status has a very powerful effect on his mind, spirit, and will.

Moreover, with the upgrade of the divine status, nowadays, as long as one is willing to burn some divine power, one can use a portion of the power of the divine status.

For example, keeping oneself calm, rational, or even free from delusional thoughts.

These all have a strong auxiliary effect on practicing the brain-closure technique.

In other words, when Li Qin, who had fused with the divine essence, was practicing the Brain Sealing Technique, it was as if he had an accelerator, a cheat code, or an auxiliary device.

Its efficiency will be faster than cultivating other spells.
