The sign-in system hit me and took my country away

Chapter 223 Full of Harvests

"From the looks of you, I think everyone has gained a lot." Su Siyi smiled and looked around, her eyes full of satisfaction. "Then you must practice Tai Chi hard. Tai Chi is not simple. It contains profound wisdom and power. I hope you can understand its entry method as soon as possible, integrate its essence into yourself, and improve your abilities. This will not only benefit you personally, but also be of vital importance to our entire team." Her voice was gentle and firm, like a spring breeze, but with inspiring power.

"Well, don't worry, Sister Su, I will practice hard and get started as soon as possible. I want to catch up with you!" Ye Xuexin looked at Su Siyi with bright eyes, his expression serious and solemn.

He knew very well that this opportunity was hard-won, and having witnessed the miraculous changes brought about by the genetic modification fluid, he had an unprecedented desire to improve his own strength. He did not want to be a drag on the team, but rather wanted to be a partner who could fight side by side with everyone.

"We will practice hard too!" The others responded in unison, their voices resounding. Their eyes shone with determination, for they all understood that they were a group receiving special treatment.

This special treatment is a testament to the nation's trust, the Boss's efforts, and Sister Su's care for them. If they still don't strive hard under these circumstances, they'll be failing all expectations, betraying the nation, the Boss, and Sister Su. Within each of them, a flame of hard work and perseverance burns.

"You are responsible for what you say. You must understand that the practice of Tai Chi is extremely important. If you still can't get started as soon as possible, the higher-ups will not sit idly by and they will probably take measures! I'm not kidding you. We all shoulder important missions, and every link cannot be let down. You must take it seriously and don't wait until you are replaced to regret it." Nangong Jingming said thoughtfully, his brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He knew that there was an urgent need for the team to improve its strength. If they could not master the key skill of Tai Chi as soon as possible, they might really face personnel adjustments.

This not only concerns the stay or departure of team members, but also the success or failure of the entire mission.

"No, Boss, we will work hard. We promise to practice well and strive to get started as soon as possible. But Sister Su, Boss, can you provide some experience in practice?" Ye Xuexin looked at them expectantly, with a glint of desire in his eyes.

He was like a traveler groping in the dark, eagerly hoping for a bright light to guide him so that he could avoid taking detours on the path of practicing Tai Chi.

"Well, that's fine. When the time comes, I'll watch you practice and see if I can help you get started as quickly as possible!" Nangong Jingming said. He knew the importance of practice experience for beginners. Although everyone's understanding of Tai Chi might be different, his own experience might open a new door for them.

"I'll come and see too!" Su Siyi said, her eyes full of concern. After all, she also hoped that more people could successfully enter the team, so that the strength of the entire team could be further improved and they would be more confident in facing future challenges.

"Sister, can we practice now?" Su Wenying asked her sister after seeing that they had already discussed it. They were already in the late stage of Qi Refining, and she wondered if this Tai Chi would have any effect on them.

"Brother, you can certainly practice Tai Chi now. Perhaps you already have a foundation, so you might even be able to get started faster. Brother, brother, try it out as soon as possible!" Su Siyi said, looking at them expectantly. She had a deep affection for her brothers and hoped they would grow further through their practice.

"Okay, let's practice too." Su Wenying patted her head lovingly, his eyes full of love. He knew his sister was doing this for their own good, and he himself had a strong desire to improve his strength.

"Will your sister come watch us practice? I'm afraid I won't get the movements right the first time." Su Wenxin looked at his sister expectantly, like a child craving parental attention. He hoped his sister would watch him so he could feel more confident.

"Okay!" Su Siyi replied with a smile, "These are all trivial matters. It's the same whether you look at one or two." Her smile was as warm as the sunshine, filling Su Wenxin's heart with joy.

In a warm and joyful atmosphere, everyone finished their dinner amidst laughter and conversation. The warm light in the restaurant shone on everyone, reflecting their satisfied expressions. The air was filled with the aroma of food, mixed with laughter, filling the space with a warm atmosphere.

"Ding, please go to the bottom of Ronghu Lake to sign in. There is no time limit." Suddenly, the emotionless mechanical voice of the system sounded in Su Siyi's mind, breaking the relaxed atmosphere.

"System, did I hear it wrong? Do you want me to sign in at the bottom of the lake?" Su Siyi asked the system in her heart with a puzzled look on her face. Her big eyes were full of surprise, and she unconsciously looked at the dark night sky outside the window, as if she could find the answer in the endless darkness.

"You heard it right, master. Don't you have water-repellent beads? Don't worry about not being able to go!" The calm voice of the system came again.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot I had a Water-Repellent Bead." Su Siyi frowned slightly, a little annoyed at how she'd forgotten about it. She walked to the window, the night breeze ruffling her hair. But soon she complained again, "But you didn't have to give me a mission so late!" She pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied. Receiving such a special mission at this time was a bit unexpected. The night outside seemed to deepen. The mountains in the distance seemed like silent giants, guarding the mysterious Rong Lake.

"Master, there is no time limit. You can go whenever you want!" The system explained patiently. It did not require her to take action now. Whether she went or not depended entirely on her own wishes.

"But, if I don't go after you've issued this mission, it just doesn't feel right!" Su Siyi shook her head helplessly. She was a very responsible person, always wanting to complete tasks issued by the system as quickly as possible, otherwise she'd feel a heavy weight on her heart. The branches outside the window rustled in the wind, as if sighing with her helplessness.

The system stopped responding, as if it had completed its mission and fell silent.

"Siyi, what's wrong? Do you have a mission?" Nangong Jingming keenly noticed the change in Su Siyi's expression. He looked at her with concern in his eyes.

He knew that whenever Su Siyi showed this expression, she was most likely communicating with the system again. The other people in the restaurant also stopped talking and laughing, and their eyes turned to them. The atmosphere became a little solemn.

"Well, there is a new sign-in task!" Su Siyi responded.

"Then I'll arrange the people and the car right away," Nangong Jingming said, and immediately wanted to pull out his phone to start planning the itinerary. He was always decisive and efficient in his work. As long as it involved mission-related matters, he always wanted to handle them as quickly as possible. At this moment, the lights in the restaurant seemed to become brighter, as if to encourage them to take action.

"Hmm, wait a minute, let me tell you, this sign-in location is a bit strange. Do you think we should go now or tomorrow morning?" Su Siyi said a little embarrassedly. She scratched her head, a look of hesitation on her face. She glanced at the people around her, and everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and expectation.

In her mind, there might be ancient ruins at the bottom of the lake, broken walls and ruins standing quietly in the water, engraved with mysterious patterns and symbols, as if telling stories from long ago. Perhaps there was also a mysterious vortex, quietly swirling in a corner of the lake bottom, emitting an awe-inspiring power. This was all just her imagination.

"How is it strange?" Nangong Jingming asked her in confusion. He stopped what he was doing and stared at Su Siyi, waiting for her answer. The restaurant was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Well, there's no time limit for signing in, but the signing-in location is at the bottom of Ronghu Lake." Su Siyi directly stated the signing-in location, with a hint of worry in her eyes. After all, the environment at the bottom of the lake is complex and full of various uncertainties.

"How do we check in at the bottom of the lake?" Nangong Jingming asked, frowning in confusion. He began to imagine the scene at the bottom of the lake: the darkness, the water pressure, the unknown creatures—all of these could become obstacles to their mission. The atmosphere in the restaurant became even more tense. Everyone seemed to be able to sense the mysterious and dangerous atmosphere at the bottom of the lake.

"Well, I have water-repellent beads. I can go directly into the water," Su Siyi said. She took the water-repellent beads from her pocket. The beads shimmered mysteriously under the light, as if to express their extraordinaryness. The light of the beads reflected on the faces of the people around her, reflecting their expressions of surprise and curiosity.

"Oh, let me think about it." Nangong Jingming didn't immediately decide to go after hearing this. Although the sign-in system said there was no time limit, according to the rules of the previous sign-in system, they all knew that the sooner they completed the sign-in task, the better the reward. But this was underwater, whether it was day or night, it was pitch black, and visibility problems would cause great trouble to the operation.

But considering the reward, time was of the essence, which put him in a dilemma. At this moment, the cry of a night owl came from outside the window. The shrill sound echoed in the silent night sky, adding a bit of weirdness to the tense atmosphere.
