Chapter 44 System Rewards
The five of them held their breath until the last group disappeared and no one else passed by before they dared to relax.
In the darkness, they were like cheetahs lurking in the shadows, cautiously observing their surroundings.
The surroundings were completely silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves.
Luo Qing gently patted the tree trunk, signaling everyone to come down.
Fang Tai and Qi Ru nimbly jumped down from the tree branch and landed steadily on the ground.
Mo Ming then leaped lightly, landing gracefully beside Luo Qing like a black leopard.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with relief and joy at surviving the ordeal.
Luo Qing patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That was close, we almost got discovered."
Fang Tai nodded, looking at Luo Qing with admiration, "Sister Luo, you're so smart."
Mo Ming remained calm, as if he had anticipated all of this.
Qi Ru patted Luo Qing on the shoulder with a smile, "You really did a great job this time!"
Luo Qing smiled smugly and waved the token in her hand, "Of course, don't you know who I am!"
The five people sat around the thick tree trunk, exchanging their views.
Luo Qing pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "This system is really bad. The way it gives rewards is so thrilling and exciting. It's like it's pushing the limits of life and death."
Fang Tai nodded in deep agreement, patting his chest, "Yeah, my heart was pounding just now. This wasn't receiving a reward, it was practically an escape!"
Qi Ru smiled wryly, "This system really knows how to play tricks. It actually made us hide in the tree for so long. This is truly an unexpected 'reward' experience."
Mo Ming said calmly, "In any case, the reward is finally in hand, so it's a blessing in disguise."

As the system notification sounded, a white light shone in the distant forest, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, dazzling and brilliant.
The five people looked at each other, their faces showing disbelief.
Luo Qing immediately jumped up from the ground and led everyone to run quickly in the opposite direction of the white light, like startled rabbits.
As she ran, she kept looking back, afraid that pursuers would catch up with her.
Mo Ming, on the other hand, calmly analyzed the situation and searched for the safest hiding place.
They walked through a dense bamboo forest, the fallen leaves rustling under their feet as if cheering them on.
Finally, they arrived at a secluded valley, surrounded by towering cliffs, which seemed to be a natural refuge.
The five people stopped, panting heavily, and leaned against the cliff.
Luo Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear, "How much does the system want the players to kill each other?!"
"Luckily we were quick-witted, otherwise we would have really become someone else's target." Her words echoed in the valley, carrying a hint of helplessness and anger.
In the darkness, the five huddled together, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.
The valley was so quiet that only their rapid breathing and heartbeats could be heard.
Luo Qing took a deep breath and patted Mu Qimeng on the shoulder, "Let's find a safe place to hide quickly."
Mo Ming looked around and noticed a narrow opening beside the cliff. He pointed to the opening and said, "That should be a good place to hide."
The five of them cautiously approached the cave entrance, taking each step with extreme care.
When they finally entered the cave, a cool, gloomy atmosphere rushed towards them, as if they were in a secluded, hidden realm.
Luo Qing took a torch out of her backpack, lit it with a lighter, and the flickering flame illuminated the dark cave entrance.
She walked cautiously in front, with Mo Ming close behind, while Fang Tai and Qi Ru protected Mu Qimeng. The four of them formed a battle formation and explored forward slowly and carefully.
The torchlight danced on the cave walls, casting strange shadows that seemed to tell the secrets of this place.
The air inside the cave was damp and cool, sending chills down one's spine.
Mo Ming walked to the depths of the cave entrance and gently tapped the cave wall with the stone in his hand, carefully listening to the echo.
He turned back and nodded to Luo Qing, indicating that there were no other exits here and that they could rest assured for the time being.
The five of them finally sat down with peace of mind. Luo Qing took out the large bubble that the system had rewarded them from her backpack. The white bubble shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, like a huge gemstone.
Everyone formed a small circle, their eyes all focused on the mysterious bubble.
"What do you think might be inside?" Luo Qing asked curiously, moving closer to the bubble and gently touching it with her hand.
The bubble trembled slightly, emitting a soft glow, as if responding to her touch.
Qi Ru also came closer, her eyes wide as she tried to see what was inside the bubbles. "Sister Luo, do you think it could be something good?"
Fang Tai and Mu Qimeng also gathered around, discussing the bubble with curiosity.
Mo Ming sat quietly to the side, his gaze deep, as if he could see through everything in the bubble.
“Let’s open it together!” Luo Qing suggested.
The four nodded, and all five hands pressed onto the bubble.
The bubbles emitted a soft light, slowly expanded, and then suddenly burst, turning into a colorful rain of light that showered down on the five people.
After the light rain dissipated, Luo Qing was surprised to find that her physical fitness seemed to have improved, and she immediately opened her player panel.
Player Name: Luo Qing
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Strength: 15/50 (slightly higher than the average person)
Speed: 10/50 (Normal level)
Luck rating: 100/100 (Unbelievable!)
Health: 200 (A bit squishy)
Free allocation points: 5 (Luck cannot be added)
Skills: None available
Luo Qing exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Strength and speed have both increased by five points!"
The others also opened their respective player panels, and sure enough, just as Luo Qing had said, their strength and speed had increased by five points, and their luck had also increased by one point.
Mo Ming looked at the changes on the panel, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He felt a significant increase in his strength and speed, as if he had become more agile and powerful.
Fang Tai jumped up excitedly. He felt the changes in his body, and this increase in strength filled him with confidence.
He waved his fist as if he could knock down the whole world with a single punch.
Qi Ru also showed a happy expression. She felt her own progress, which filled her with anticipation for the future.
Mu Qimeng silently looked at his panel. He didn't cheer like the others, but his eyes shone with determination.
Luo Qing then realized that their luck value had also increased by a bit. Thinking of her own maxed-out luck value, she understood why she also had five points of freedom.
The team members only knew that she had a high luck stat, but they didn't know just how high.
Luo Qing didn't make a fuss, but silently allocated the five free points.
Three points for power, two points for speed, just right.
"Look, there's another little bubble." Qi Ru noticed that there was another small bubble where the white bubble had been in front of them.
It was a transparent bubble, inconspicuous, and everyone was too excited to notice it.
