Chapter 74 Obtaining Skill Points
As dusk fell, other teams continued to return to the island, and the beach gradually became more crowded.
I don't know who suggested having a bonfire party, but everyone agreed.
As night fell, the atmosphere on the beach gradually warmed up. Firelight flickered under the night sky, adding a touch of mystery and warmth to the beach.
People sat around the campfire, their faces beaming with laughter and anticipation.
The waves gently lapped against the shore, producing a deep and powerful sound that mingled with the chirping of insects and the laughter of people in the distance, creating a beautiful symphony.
The air was filled with the aroma of grilled meat and seaweed, making one's mouth water.
Not far away, a few young people started playing guitars, and their melodious singing drifted through the night sky, captivating the listeners.
The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, making their expressions appear exceptionally vivid and real.
As eight o'clock approached, Luo Qing slightly raised her head, looked at the starry sky, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
She subtly gave Fang Tai, Mo Ming, Mu Qimeng, and Qi Ru a look, and the five nodded in tacit agreement. Then they quietly stood up, preparing to slip away.
Like a group of mischievous children, they tiptoed around the crowd engaged in lively conversation, afraid of disturbing others.
A gentle sea breeze blew by, lifting the hem of their clothes and scattering the faint sound of their footsteps.
They walked further and further until they stopped in front of a hidden cave.
The cave is hidden in a dense thicket, its entrance completely obscured by vines and green leaves. Without careful searching, it would be difficult to discover its secrets.
They stood on an open space behind the cave, quietly waiting for eight o'clock to arrive.
As expected, the system used its tricks again at 8 o'clock sharp.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Flower Fruit Mountain First Squad for winning first place in the second day of the competition! Rewards are now being distributed!]
In the night, the starry sky was dazzling, and a white orb of light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, trailing a long white tail, dazzling and mysterious.
It pierced the dark night, falling rapidly with a whistling sound.
As the sphere of light drew closer, everyone's heartbeats quickened.
It was like a dazzling pearl, shining brightly in the darkness, illuminating their tense and expectant faces.
Just as the ball of light was about to touch the ground, it suddenly paused in mid-air, as if it were being held up by an invisible force.
Then, it slowly landed on the open ground in front of the five people, emitting a soft "humming" sound.
The light gradually faded, revealing the true form inside the sphere—a treasure chest shimmering with golden light. The chest was engraved with intricate patterns, emitting a faint glow, appearing both mysterious and alluring.
Luo Qing reacted quickly, snatching the glittering treasure chest into her arms as if afraid it would disappear in the next second.
Her face was full of excitement and nervousness, her eyes sparkling as if she could already see the endless treasures inside the chest.
The four followed closely behind and quickly hid in a nearby cave. The cave was dark and cold, and the air was filled with the damp smell of earth.
Guided by the faint starlight and their memories, they cautiously made their way forward in the dark, afraid of making any noise.
Mo Ming walked at the back. He quietly took out a small tool from his pocket and began to disguise the entrance to the hole.
His fingers flew nimbly in the darkness, skillfully weaving vines and green leaves together to quickly conceal the cave entrance completely.
Sure enough, other people soon followed the location of the white light that the system had rewarded them with.
In the darkness of night, a group of figures hurried toward their location, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Where's the reward?" a burly man shouted, his voice echoing through the night sky, tinged with urgency and excitement.
The others echoed this sentiment, their eyes scanning the surroundings in an attempt to find the legendary treasure chest.
However, their efforts were destined to be in vain. The cave had been cleverly disguised by Mo Ming; from the outside, it appeared to be just an ordinary thicket of bushes, with nothing unusual about it.
Those people quickly started cursing and complaining, looking around but unable to find any trace of the treasure chest.
"Damn it, I clearly saw the reward left here!" A thin young man stomped his feet in frustration, his face full of disappointment and resentment.
“Yes, how could they suddenly disappear?” Another woman frowned, looking around for a clue.
In the darkness, their figures moved through the bushes, occasionally bumping into branches or stepping on vines, making rustling sounds.
The sea breeze blew gently, causing a leaf to tremble, as if mocking their futile efforts.
They finally left, and Luo Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the cave, the five people sat around the treasure chest, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.
The firelight danced in the darkness, illuminating their faces and outlining vivid silhouettes.
Luo Qing held her breath and opened the treasure chest with trembling hands.
The moment the treasure chest was opened, a dazzling light burst forth, illuminating the entire cave. Bathed in light, the various items inside the chest appeared even more precious and alluring.
The most eye-catching feature is the several orbs of light of different colors floating in the air.
They radiate a soft light, as if they are pulsating with the pulse of life.
Luo Qing recognized them at a glance: these orbs of light were skill points! They shimmered with different colors, representing different skill attributes; some were bright and fiery, some were soft and warm, and some were deep and mysterious.
The five looked at the skill points in the air with delight, as if they could see the dawn of victory.
Fang Tai exclaimed, "The system is quite generous this time." As soon as he finished speaking, the skill points seemed to come alive and floated to everyone's faces.
Luo Qing felt a blur before her eyes, and a white skill point appeared in front of her.
It radiates a soft light, as if it possesses endless wisdom and power.
She reached out and gently touched the ball of light, feeling a warm current instantly flow into her body, as if something was quietly changing.
At the same time, the other four also received their own skill points.
After absorbing their skill points, the five of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Luo Qing spoke first, her voice tinged with excitement: "I obtained a beginner-level illusion technique. I wonder how yours is?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Ru eagerly shared, "Mine is a basic healing spell, so we won't be afraid of getting hurt anymore!" She gestured as she spoke, as if she could already see herself casting the healing spell.
Mo Ming, on the other hand, appeared much more composed. He said calmly, "Mine is a basic stealth technique, suitable for reconnaissance and infiltration." A glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was already planning how to use this skill.
Fang Tai and Mu Qimeng also excitedly shared their skills.
Fang Tai described with great enthusiasm: "I received a basic power boost, and our team will be even stronger from now on!" He waved his fist, as if he could already feel the power surging within him.
Mu Qimeng smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Mine is a basic form of precognition. Although it can only predict some minor signs at present, it may come in very handy in the future."
His words carried a hint of anticipation and confidence, as if he had already foreseen a crucial moment in the future.
The five people sat together, discussing how to combine and utilize their skills, filling the cave with laughter.
The flickering firelight illuminated their faces, creating a warm and hopeful scene.
