Qingran flexed her fingers and rolled her shoulders before making her way off the court. The adrenaline rush was beginning to wear off, and she could already feel the dull ache creeping into her knees.
She had pushed herself harder than she expected, but it had been worth it—completely shattering those boys' egos was a reward in itself.
As she approached Lingquan, the familiar chime of the system notification rang in her mind.
[Mission Complete: Prove yourself!]
[Reward Granted: Per request—whatever you want.]
Qingran's lips curled into a smirk, finally, she would save this reward for when she needed it the most.
Lingquan, lounging lazily on a bench with his tail flicking, cracked an eye open as she approached. [Looks like you got what you wanted.]
Qingran flopped down beside him, tilting her head back with a deep sigh. "Yeah. Finally."
But before she could relax, another chime echoed in her mind.
[New Mission Received: Save List Expansion!]
