Su Qing also made a choice. The first and third options were "willing", and the second option was "fifteen days".
After voting, the voting results appeared in front of him: the first option: 21 votes for "yes", 0 votes for "no".
Second option: 0 votes for 'seven days' and 21 votes for 'fifteen days'.
The third option: 21 votes for "yes", 0 votes for "no".
"It seems that everyone wants to go back to Earth to celebrate the New Year."
"It's worth my efforts to find the consciousness of the heavens and the earth and ask for this opportunity from him."
Seeing the voting results, Su Qing nodded with satisfaction.
I didn't expect that everyone had the same idea and made exactly the same choices.
Su Qing: "Since everyone has made their choice, let's come back on New Year's Eve and resolve this crisis first."
Su Qing: "First of all, on behalf of myself and the eight billion people on earth, I would like to thank everyone for their generous support. Thank you all."
Su Qing: "If we can solve this problem, I plan to continue this activity and have everyone come back every Chinese New Year."
Su Qing: "But if we can't solve the problem this time, then this will be the last time, and we will never have a future."
Su Qing was very grateful for the group members' positive response.
He plans to make this event a regular event and hold it every year.
"Haha, we are all from Earth, so it is our duty."
"With our strength, we can still deal with the vanguard this time."
"Protecting the Earth is everyone's responsibility!"
The group members patted their chests and said, "The earth is in trouble, and everyone is here to support us."
Su Qing: "Okay, I'll edit the task now, you can take a look at it later."
Su Qing: "Everyone can deal with the things at hand now and get ready first."
Su Qing: "You can even bring back some local specialties to give to your relatives. That's also fine."
After talking to everyone, Su Qing closed the dialog box and opened the task center in the background.
Click the 'Edit Task' button and a blank task interface will pop up.
Task Name: (blank)
Mission Statement: (blank)
Mission location: (blank)
Task requirements: (blank)
Mission time: (blank)

As long as you edit the task according to the format, you can generate a task and let the group members return to Earth.
This is an opportunity given to Su Qing by the Consciousness of the Heavens and Earth. He cannot use the 'Edit Task' function at will.
"Well, let's do it."
After Su Qing edited it, a special task came out.
[Ding! Administrator 'Su Qing' has started a new task, click this link to view details! ]
Soon, a prompt popped up in front of all group members.
Everyone clicked on the link to check it out, and Su Qing also clicked on it.
[Special Mission]: Go Home for Reunion (2024) [Mission Description]: Every festive season brings more thoughts of family members. The annual Spring Festival is approaching.

[Note 1: Click this link to return to Earth! (After returning to Earth, group members can click this link to leave Earth early, or they can automatically return to their original world after the deadline.)]

Chat group.
Xie Lin: "Lao Cao, your job as an administrator is not in vain. You finally did something useful for us!"
Xie Yuanshan: "Haha, it's not easy for Brother Su either. We can go back this time thanks to Brother Su!"
Xu Huaping: "Thank you Su Qing, it's great to be able to go back and celebrate the New Year with my family."
Xiao Yichen: "Thank you, Brother Su."
Qin Xiaoxian: "Thank you."
Li Mingda: "Thank you, Brother Su."
Wang Sheng: "I am a little worried now. I won't be able to find my way home when I go back."
Wang Xiaobao: "Dad is fine. Wherever we are, that's our home."
Zhu Quan: "Thank you, Brother Su."
Wang Defa: "Thank you, Lao Su!"
Zhao Ri: "I'm ready, just waiting for the mission to begin."
Wang Xiaoer: "There are still ten hours left. Time is passing so slowly!"
Zhao Xiangyun: "Thank you, Brother Su."
Letting group members go home for the New Year is just a side job; protecting the earth is the main purpose.
Therefore, this mission does not have too strict requirements, and naturally there is no mission reward.
Su Qing couldn't pay out of her own pocket to give everyone a reward, right? Letting everyone return to Earth to celebrate the New Year would be the biggest reward!
The group members naturally knew this truth and expressed their gratitude to Su Qing.
Su Qing: "Why are you thanking me? As an administrator, I have to find some benefits for you, otherwise it would be a waste of my job."
Su Qing: "We are all so familiar with each other, and you are suddenly so polite. I am not used to it!"
Su Qing: "Ten hours will pass quickly. Get ready! We don't know when we will be back next time."
After reading the task details, Su Qing reopened the chat box. Seeing everyone's thanks, he was speechless.
On this side of the Earth, time passed by minute by minute, everyone was bragging, and time went by very quickly.
Soon, the time came to 00:00:01 on February 9, 2024.
At the same time, a dialog box popped up in front of all group members:
[The mission 'Reunion Home' has officially begun. Click this link to return to Earth and participate in the mission! ]
Su Qing: "@Everyone, brothers, time's up!"
Seeing this, Su Qing tagged everyone in the group and greeted them.
Xie Lin: "Haha, I can finally come over. The flowers I've been waiting for have all wilted!"
Xie Yuanshan: “Come on!”
Xu Huaping: "I'm back too!"
Xiao Yichen: "Cousin, I'm back!"
Li Mingda: "Wait a minute, let me put on some makeup first!"
Zhao Xiangyun: "Yes, I also need to change clothes."
Upon hearing this, the group members were all excited; they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
They clicked on the links on the prompts and started their journey home.
Xiaoqingshan Dojo.
The area is shrouded in clouds and mist, the mountains are green, the streams are gurgling, and the trees are shady.
The four seasons are like spring, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, emitting bursts of fragrance.
There was a fresh scent in the air, and the sunlight shone through the clouds onto the earth, making the entire dojo bright.
The scenery is picturesque, with mountains and waters interdependent and the view is pleasant, making people feel as if they are in a beautiful painting.
Su Qing stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the group members to return.
"call out"
A white light flashed, and a figure walked out from it. It was Xie Yuanshan.
"Haha, I'm finally back!"
Next came Xiao Yichen, who was wearing a long gown and jacket that was very much in the style of the Republic of China.
"I, Qin Xiaoxian, am here!"
Qin Xiaoxian, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, beach pants and flip-flops, also walked out of the white light.
"Lao Cao, your uncle the Fourth Ghost is here!"
Xie Lin, who was wearing a Taoist robe, hugged Su Qing tightly.
"call out"
Wang Xiaobao, wearing a Hawaiian T-shirt and bell-bottom pants, with a slicked-back hair and a pair of big sunglasses, returned to Earth.
The eighteen-year-old Zhu Quan wore a blue dragon robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, and a Yishan crown covered with black gauze with golden cicada wings in front, looking noble and majestic.
Liang Yun was wearing a slim-fitting black suit and shiny black leather shoes, both of which were custom-made and obviously worth a lot of money.
Wang Xiaoer was wearing a fiery red wide-sleeved dragon robe with golden auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs. He had a white jade belt around his waist with a round jade pendant hanging on it. He looked elegant and in his hand he was waving a folding fan with a painting of a beautiful woman on it.
Xu Huaping was wearing a bright red crown embroidered with golden phoenix patterns and a twelve-tassel imperial crown on his head, looking extremely majestic.
Li Mingda, who was already 20 years old, wore a light pink palace dress and a hairpin, showing the dignity and elegance of the Tang Dynasty royal family.
Jiang Sichen's attire remained the same for thousands of years, still a green Taoist robe, with his long hair tied up and a jade hairpin inserted in it.
Zhao Xiangyun was dressed in a bright red dragon robe and a crown on her head, exuding an extraordinary temperament.
"call out"
White lights flashed by, and Wang Sheng, Guo Daocheng, Zhao Ri, Li Shen, Fang Chang, Ding Hongli, Zhu Youjian and other group members returned to Earth from their respective worlds.
"Everyone, on my own behalf, I would like to welcome all the wanderers who have traveled abroad to come home for the New Year!"
Su Qing took a quick look and saw that all the group members had returned. He bowed and spoke to all the group members.
A sense of ceremony is essential!
"Haha, Lao Cao, you are too polite."
Xie Lin laughed.
"Alas, my child who has left home, after so many years away, has finally returned to the Earth he has been away from for so long!"
"Mother Earth, I'm back!"
"We are returning home in glory and splendor!"
Twenty-one group members gathered, sitting or standing, loudly expressing their excitement.
This is the first time that all group members have gathered together, and it is also the first time for them to return to Earth from another world.
The excitement in everyone's hearts was simply indescribable.
"Well, everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me."
Su Qing raised his hand and asked everyone to be quiet.
"That's right. The chat group said that the vanguard troops will invade the Earth on February 15th."
Looking at the people who had quieted down, Su Qing said, "That means we still have a week."
"My idea is that everyone should go home and reunite with their families, put aside all burdens, and celebrate the New Year happily."
"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which is February 14th, we will gather at the Xiaoqingshan Dojo to discuss how to resist the invasion of the alien world."
"Everyone, what do you think of my proposal?"
There are still seven days before the alien invasion. We can't let everyone wait here, right? Why not let the group members go back to celebrate the New Year, and then consider the issue of alien invasion after the New Year.
"Yeah, sure. I have no problem with that."
"I have no objection. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
"Yes, we are back home in glory, so we have to show off a little bit."
"Ha ha."
When the group members heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
"In that case, then you can go back. Today is New Year's Eve, so I won't keep you here."
Seeing that all the group members agreed, Su Qing nodded and said.
"Uh, Lao Cao, how do you think we should get back?"
Xie Lin patted his shoulder and asked, "Are you going to fly back in such a grand manner?"
When a wanderer returns home, he feels nostalgic for his hometown.
Everyone was excited and thrilled.
But they are more worried because they don’t know how to face their families.
After all, in the eyes of their families, they were already dead.
On New Year's Day, a dead person suddenly comes back. Is he trying to scare his family to death?
"Yes, I also want to go back, but I don't dare to go back."
Xie Yuanshan had already seen his old wife at home, his eyes were slightly red, and he was extremely excited.
"There is no place for me in my home anymore."
Xiao Yichen saw that his former room had become the home of his younger brother whom he had never met.
"Son, we no longer have a home."
"It's okay. As long as we are still here, we have a home."
Wang Sheng and his son Wang Xiaobao saw that their hometown had changed a lot, but their home was no longer there.
They died more than 30 years ago, and after their death, there were no relatives left in their family, and the old house had collapsed long ago.
So what if I return to my hometown? "My parents have sold my house in Beijing."
Xu Huaping felt even more sad and leaned on Zhao Xiangyun's shoulder.
"My wife and children are fine. They haven't forgotten me."
Liang Yun saw his wife and children at home accompanying their parents, preparing for the New Year.
The situation of other group members is similar. They don’t know how to face their families.
"I suggest you tell the truth and say that you have traveled to another world and are now back to celebrate the New Year."
Su Qing thought for a moment and said to everyone, "By the way, don't reveal the alien invasion for now. Wait until the New Year is over."
"I've said before that if there's a chance, everyone can come back every year in the future."
"Think about it from another perspective. Is your situation the same as that of ordinary people working outside the home?"
"For ordinary workers, they only go home once a year during the Chinese New Year to bring some gifts to their families."
"Everyone has been busy in the other world for a year. At the end of the year, they return to their hometown to reunite with their families."
"With our current abilities, we will surely be able to improve the lives of our families and change their destinies."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you have other ideas, you can think about it yourself."
That is to say, Su Qing would make such a suggestion only because all the group members have strength above the fairyland.
Even if the secret of time travel is exposed, who can do anything to them? As long as the group members do not make the earth a mess, Su Qing can cover them.
"You have a point. Instead of lying, it's better to be honest with your family."
Xie Lin thought about it, nodded in agreement and said, "If I can go home for the New Year every year, it would be almost the same as working outside."
"Yes, even if I work, I can only go home during the Chinese New Year. It depends on how many days of vacation I have, and I have to fight for train tickets."
Xu Huaping's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face. She said, "I heard that there will be no holiday on New Year's Eve this year. I am dying of laughter."
"I want my wife, children and family to practice Taoism, Su Qing, is that okay?"
After hearing this, Liang Yun's eyes revealed a strong desire.
"I also want to teach the immortal arts to my relatives."
Hearing this, the other group members all turned their eyes to Su Qing. (End of this chapter)
