The camera drone hovering ten feet away buzzed softly, capturing the serene, completely unbothered expression on her face as if she had simply reached into a kitchen pantry rather than an old structural cavity.

[System: Your tactical execution was flawless. A reward of 50 System Points has been credited to your balance.]
Chen Ying didn't react outwardly, her expression remaining entirely tranquil as her internal point total quietly updated to 4,270 Points.
She gave a brief mental acknowledgment before turning her full focus back to the ongoing trial.
