Grinding proficiency is an extrely monotonous task, so monotonous that it could easily lead to a ntal breakdown...
This is why Qin Fang, as a martial artist, has always been firm and, with his quick hands, he doesn't feel that intense sense of monotony.
In the spacious room, there was only Qin Fang and a pile of various locks resembling a small mountain. Qin Fang worked at a considerable speed, almost tossing aside one lock as he opened another without any pause in between, maintaining his strongest energy to rapidly grind proficiency.
The progress bar for Lockpicking Skill was relatively short, and he quickly advanced through it, making effective use of this not so long period of ti.
Even so, Qin Fang seed to be in a state of frenzy, his hands moving rapidly, constantly picking up and setting down locks without a mont's pause...
Ti slipped away unnoticed, but Qin Fang seed completely ignorant of it, continuing his work without giving himself any ti to rest.
It was a very, very monotonous process, but it was the only way to make ti pass faster and concentrate more fully, preventing oneself from thinking about other things...
Ti passed quickly, and Qin Fang didn't notice it, not even when Chen Da and the others who went out to have fun had already returned.
"Did Young Master Qin leave?"
Chen Da stretched his neck to peer into the room, saw the door was locked, didn't sense anything amiss, and casually made this remark.
"Probably..."
The passing Wei Suo similarly glanced into the room from the window, seemingly not seeing Qin Fang's figure, and simply responded with these words.
Therefore, they paid no attention and nobody disturbed Qin Fang's work...
Qin Fang did not notice Chen Da and the others' return, still imrsed in his labor; the small mountain of locks in front of him had gradually disappeared, turning into a new small mountain behind him.
Just when Wei Suo peeked into the room, his line of sight was just blocked, and he did not notice Qin Fang was still there.
"Ding, Lockpicking Skill has advanced to Advanced..."
With such a prompt sound appearing, Qin Fang suddenly ca to his senses, his hand movents paused for a mont, and then he stopped completely.
Originally, Qin Fang's plan was to upgrade his Lockpicking Skill to Interdiate level before trying the safe, but thinking of the multitude of locks in front of him that could be used to grind proficiency, he did not cease his efforts for a mont.
Advancing from Beginner Level to Interdiate was relatively fast; it took only about an hour or so for Qin Fang to reach this point.
At that ti, Qin Fang was not fully absorbed in the process, feeling it wasn't enough, so he continued further, eventually losing himself entirely in the task, ignoring everything around him.
Only when this prompt sounded did Qin Fang suddenly awaken, as the sound ca from deep within his mind, directly interfering with his thoughts, a completely different concept compared to external sounds.
An entire night was enough to raise the Lockpicking Skill from Beginner Level to Advanced, a truly extraordinary pace. However, this was also because the Lockpicking Skill was relatively easy to improve.
Qin Fang had people prepare so many locks in advance for his convenience, as not all skills have such an advantage.
For example, Qin Fang's earliest Advanced Cooking Skill, which only awards proficiency with each dish cooked. Even if done at the fastest speed, it would still be much slower than Lockpicking Skill.
Moreover, cooking requires raw materials, which can't be easily sped up as the supply of materials is hard to co by.
Another Advanced Skill is Scouting Skill. Qin Fang can also quickly grind its proficiency by going to heavily crowded streets and casting the Scouting Skill on each person he sees, which makes proficiency soar rapidly. However, if it were really done this way, it would be unbearably boring.
After all, even with the current upgrade speed, Scouting Skill is nearing Master-Level Detective Skills and doesn't need much ti to be promoted.
The other skills advance much slower, progressing steadily step by step; there aren't many Advanced Skills yet... and Qin Fang's personal level has been gradually approaching Grandmaster Level.
"Phew, Lockpicking Skill has reached Advanced level, I wonder if I can open that safe now..."
Although he vaguely felt that he could et the requirents, Qin Fang's mind wouldn't be at ease until he had managed to open the safe.
Advanced Lockpicking is the highest level he can currently achieve, and Qin Fang doesn't have the energy or patience to aim for Grandmaster Level right now.
After a whole night of dedication, he had finally achieved his set goal, and could temporarily relax.
"Ugh... Is it already daylight?"
When Qin Fang looked up and out the window, he realized that it was already bright outside. He clearly rembered that it was only early evening when he had entered the room to work on his Proficiency.
"No wonder I'm so exhausted..."
The mont he moved, Qin Fang imdiately felt as if his entire body was sore and stiff, especially his spine, which hurt terribly with even the slightest motion.
All night, for more than ten hours non-stop with the sa movents—not that the movents were extensive, but maintaining the sa position for too long had stiffened his body, and it was going to take quite a while to recover.
This prolonged labor left Qin Fang's body extrely exhausted, and his spirit was sowhat downcast as well. He hadn't noticed it while he was busy, but now that he had stopped, the feeling was quite apparent.
Fortunately, there were plenty of Superior Soup Dumplings in Qin Fang's Props Box. After eating more than a dozen, not only did his nearly depleted Physical Strength Points recover to their peak, but his empty stomach was also filled considerably, and his spirit was much revitalized...
"Ti to go out..."
It was broad daylight outside, and Qin Fang had reached his goal, so naturally, there was no need to stay any longer. He imdiately stood up, moved around a bit to loosen up, and walked out of the room.
As for the locks, it was better to leave them there for now. If Qin Fang needed his Lockpicking Skill in the future, these locks could still co in handy.
"Ugh... Young Master Qin, why have you co so early?"
Just as Qin Fang walked out of the room, ready to move about, he ran into Chen Da, who was about to go out for exercise. Chen Da imdiately asked in surprise.
Although Qin Fang was his boss, he rarely got involved with the base's operations and seldom ca over unless there was a need.
So it was no wonder that Chen Da would be surprised to see him coming by this early.
"I never left..."
Qin Fang was also taken aback and said, equally surprised, while casually gesturing with his eyes towards the room with the door still open.
"Don't tell you've been inside all night?"
Chen Da was even more astonished. "We checked yesterday, and we didn't see you..."
"I was there the whole ti, working on so stuff. Perhaps when you guys checked, I happened to be in the restroom..." Qin Fang shrugged, not making a big deal of it.
The fact that Chen Da and the others didn't see him was probably because the locks had blocked their line of sight, and there was no necessity to ntion the grinding of the Lockpicking Skill. It was better off that Chen Da and others were unaware.
"Maybe..."
Chen Da wasn't one to fuss over such a trifle. After all, they had only had a quick glance and had not inspected the room carefully.
They were returning from a raucous night outside, and everyone had drunk quite a bit, so they had all needed rest and had imdiately split up, with nobody bothering to investigate further.
"By the way, Brother Da, call a few people over, I want to try opening that safe to see if I can crack it... There shouldn't be a big problem!"
Having reached Advanced level in his Lockpicking Skill, Qin Fang figured that the safe, though touted as the safest in the world, could almost certainly be opened by now.
The term "safest in the world" was for other people; Qin Fang seed to be an exception...
To open such a safe, one usually needed a key, password, fingerprint, and iris scan—all at once. Without these, the option left was to use so violent thods to forcibly break open the safe... However, the safe was made of a special alloy that was incredibly hard, so hard that even using a bomb might not be enough to blow it open!
Normal explosives couldn't do the job, and sothing too powerful might completely destroy the contents, making it not worthwhile... This was why these kinds of safes were so troubleso for most people.
It's not that there was no way to crack it violently, but it would take a significant amount of ti—after all, there's nothing in this world that can't be broken.
This was why Li Rui was growing increasingly anxious these days; the longer the safe was out of his hands, the more uneasy he felt.
But Qin Fang's Lockpicking Skill was different. As long as the Proficiency of his Lockpicking Skill was sufficient to open the safe, Qin Fang could do it without any tools... Just a light kick from him would solve everything.
It was with this advantage and a vague sense of confidence that he imdiately summoned his people, ready to move the contents of the safe...(To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
