Brush Up Your Proficiency

In the taxi, Wang Hao waved goodbye to Cheng Yufei and Li Nan before heading towards his residence.

Along the way, he was quite calm, not dwelling too much on the various events of the day, simply regarding them as a small interlude in his life.

When he stepped into his home, the house was quiet.

The bright light instantly illuminated the slightly deserted room. Without Wang Lan, that lively character, at home, Wang Hao wasn't quite used to it.

Considering tomorrow's itinerary, Wang Hao went straight to the bedroom, opened the closet, and began to pack his luggage for his trip to Chuan Province in an organized manner.

Clothes, toiletries... every item was carefully placed into the suitcase.

After finishing all this, Wang Hao rested for a while, then took out the somewhat yellowed second volume of "Lao Zhuang" from the bookshelf.

Looking at the book with its slightly simple cover and slightly worn spine, he felt that the traces of time added to its mystery. Wang Hao's eyes were filled with affection.

Sitting at his desk, Wang Hao gently opened the book, and a faint fragrance of ink wafted over him.

His gaze focused intently on the dense text, his thoughts gradually immersed in it.

As he read further, he increasingly felt the profoundness and wonder of "Lao Zhuang".

Recalling the bits and pieces that had happened during this period, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh:

Since coming into contact with this "Lao Zhuang", his mental strength had actually improved so significantly!

Before this, although he had also used his reading skills to travel through books and read extensively, no book had ever brought him such a huge change as "Lao Zhuang".

At this moment, Wang Hao stared at the "Lao Zhuang" in his hand, his eyes gleaming with cherish, as if admiring a rare treasure.

Every sentence in the book seemed to contain endless wisdom and power, attracting him to continue exploring.

Wang Hao was still immersed in the world of "Lao Zhuang", completely unaware of the passage of time.

In the end, as usual, he embraced "Lao Zhuang" and entered a sweet dream, roaming in the world of "Lao Zhuang".

And just as he was fast asleep, the mental strength he had expended today to deter Yellow Hair and the others was rapidly recovering at an alarming rate, as if nourished by some mysterious power.

The next morning, as dawn broke and all was silent, Wang Hao slowly woke up from his honey-sweet dream.

Every time he woke up from the world of "Lao Zhuang", the feeling of freshness from head to toe, inside and out, although he had experienced it countless times, still made him intoxicated and enjoy this wonderful feeling.

Wang Hao stretched lazily and then opened the prompt information given by the system.

He saw a line clearly displayed above:

"Congratulations on reading ancient books and successfully obtaining insight bonus. Advanced Reading Proficiency + 52. Current Proficiency Status: Advanced Reading 3114 / 1000."

When he saw that the proficiency increased by a full two points each time, the corners of Wang Hao's mouth couldn't help but rise, outlining a happy smile.

This wonderful feeling of being able to improve every day and constantly break through himself was like an addictive poison, making Wang Hao deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

He thought to himself: "With this wonderful book "Lao Zhuang" in hand, it seems that each time the proficiency can continue to increase without limit with the passage of time.

However, such a situation is ultimately just a illusory dream. In this world, how can there be anything that remains unchanged forever?"

At the thought of this, Wang Hao's eyes couldn't help but turn to an antique box placed not far beside him.

At this moment, the slightly old box was quietly lying with the last volume of "Lao Zhuang".

Wang Hao stared at it, and a complex emotion of expectation and curiosity intertwined in his heart, secretly pondering:

When I finish reading this last volume, I wonder what amazing height my mental strength will be able to climb to?

After thinking about it, Wang Hao stretched and then got out of bed and began to wash up in an orderly manner.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and found that it was still early to meet Tang Guoliang, so he was not in a hurry, and his movements seemed particularly leisurely.

After washing up, Wang Hao walked to the dining table and casually enjoyed some simple breakfast.

After filling his stomach, he pulled up the suitcase that had been prepared and slowly walked out of the house.

Along the way, the streets were full of traffic and pedestrians, each in a hurry, as if chasing something.

But Wang Hao was different. He strolled leisurely through the streets, like an observer, quietly watching the bustling crowd.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wang Hao's mouth rose slightly, secretly rejoicing in his luck.

In this way, Wang Hao walked and stopped along the way, his thoughts flying, and unknowingly he was about to arrive at the meeting place agreed upon with Tang Guoliang.

At the same time, due to the blessing of his powerful mental strength, his perspective and depth of understanding of the surrounding things have undergone subtle changes.

Under his intentional or unintentional scrutiny, the originally familiar world seemed to have been replaced with a brand new picture, revealing a different kind of splendor everywhere.

Every detail, every ray of light and shadow, seemed to contain endless stories waiting for him to discover.

For example, when he was walking on the street, he accidentally saw a couple arguing fiercely not far away.

He only glanced at the couple, and he could quickly and accurately predict the final outcome of this dispute based on their respective expressions and those seemingly insignificant body movements, and even roughly guess the root cause of the dispute.

Although this ability is a bit similar to the category of behavioral psychology research, in fact, his understanding and mastery of this field is far more profound, comprehensive and thorough than ordinary behavioral psychologists.

Under the guidance of this unique and novel perspective, Wang Hao finally arrived at the meeting place agreed with Tang Guoliang in advance.

What was unexpected was that Tang Guoliang had actually been waiting patiently here for a long time.

When he saw Wang Hao slowly walking towards him with that leisurely pace, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a knowing smile.

At this moment, Tang Guoliang couldn't help but think to himself:

"With his current relaxed and leisurely state of mind to participate in the competition, if he can maintain a stable performance, then this championship title must belong to him!"
