I Want to Abandon This Damn System

The submersible, used to monitor the competition and observe the underwater environment, went down.

They descended directly to a depth of 140 meters before stopping, ensuring that the diving area was free from any environmental impact.

The reason for diving to this depth is that the current record for the highest freediving depth by humans has not yet been broken at 140 meters.

The previous champion won the championship with an absolute advantage after achieving a time of 125 meters.

At this moment, the members of the Qingshan Department are sitting in their hotel watching the game remotely.

This time the competition is in the sea, and they have confirmed that all safety concerns have been eliminated.

Unless a contestant directly attacks Ye Qingshan, there is no way to stop him.

What kind of statistics are generally needed to win a championship?

One of the managers spoke up and asked.

They didn't know much about freediving.

Ninety-nine percent of the world's population has little to no concept of freediving.

They didn't even know what equipment they needed.

"If we want to win the championship this year, according to the Sports Bureau's assessment, we need to dive at least 125 meters. Ye Qingshan should be able to achieve that in his current condition."

An organizer quickly responded.

She then added, "And the other two players are also in excellent form; they have a great chance of winning."

The officials smiled after hearing this answer.

It's not that they don't care about the other two athletes.

These athletes are all good men who have won glory for the country, and they are highly respected.

However, this honor is still incomparable to that of a lithography machine.

The latter can truly enable Huaxia to achieve a rapid leap forward.

Money or a certificate, which would you choose?

However, regarding the three athletes who participated this time, especially the one who gave up their spot in the competition.

The Qingshan Department also provided sufficient compensation; at least his current treatment is not much worse than what he would have received if he had won the championship.

After Dean Gu of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences learned that the competition was about to begin.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to put down my work and watch the game.

Several of his former colleagues saw him watching a diving competition.

Curious, they all gathered around and asked, "What's up, Lao Gu? You're usually the busiest one, you even chatter on and on when we're just taking a break for a smoke. Why are you watching a competition today? Is this a swimming competition?"

"You're holding a swimming competition in the sea? It's a freediving competition, Ye Qingshan is participating. I want to see if this kid can win."

Dean Gu smiled slightly and explained.

Upon hearing that it was Ye Qingshan...

Several veteran experts also showed some interest.

They crowded around, curious to see what this younger man, who went to competitions every day, was up to.

Amidst the expectant gazes of countless people, Ye Qingshan lay flat on the sea surface, taking deep breaths.

Holding your breath is the most important basic skill in diving competitions.

Being able to inhale more oxygen increases the chances of winning the championship.

Until the moment the referee announces the start of the match.

Ye Qingshan plunged into the water at top speed.

Other athletes also entered the water at the same time.

In the blue sea, they began to dive down like large black fish.

"The competition has begun. The time limit for this competition is three minutes. As you can see, all the contestants have started entering the water."

"And the three athletes representing Huaxia have quickly entered the first team..."

As soon as the competition began, the submersible locked onto all the contestants and continued to broadcast the competition live while descending in sync.

The host, on stage, provides commentary on the competition, patiently explaining the strengths and skills of each contestant.

At this moment, in the deep blue sea, Ye Qingshan was diving headfirst, using his flippers to propel himself downwards.

There is often a prerequisite for diving: you cannot have a fear of thalassemia.

The deeper you go, the darker it gets.

Without sufficient mental fortitude, one cannot bear to look at the pictures alone.

Ye Qingshan was already used to it, and continued to descend along the guide rope while silently calculating the time in his mind.

After diving to a depth of over thirty meters, Ye Qingshan clearly felt that his body was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Due to the pressure, once at this position, everyone's lung volume will be compressed to one-quarter of its original size.

And after reaching this stage...

The human body will also lose buoyancy and enter a state of free fall.

If we consider the seabed as the sky, then Ye Qingshan is currently in a state of flight.

"Xiao Tang, the seabed is so scary! Have you ever dived this deep before?"

Xie Jiujiu, who was sitting on the beach with Tang Yu watching the game, asked curiously.

She and Jiang Caixia were leaning against Tang Yu on either side at that moment.

The two women didn't mind the heat; they just wanted to stick together.

"Why would I dive so deep? It'll interfere with my fish watching."

Tang Yu answered without even thinking.

"I've heard that fish in the ocean are particularly ugly because the environment is pitch black and there's no light, so they can't see each other and just grow however they want."

Xie Jiujiu chuckled foolishly.

Jiang Caixia also laughed along.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap, please don't disturb me."

After greeting them, Tang Yu pushed the two women aside and then lay down on Jiang Caixia's lap, pretending to doze off.

Jiang Caixia blushed and gently rubbed the guy's forehead with her hand, feeling a little excited.

Ye Qingshan had already descended a sufficient distance, and he needed to start preparing to focus on his actions.

Ye Qingshan, still in the water, was unaware of the impending danger.

He descended faster and faster, and the surrounding environment grew increasingly dark.

If it weren't for this lamp overhead, one could easily get lost in this boundless darkness.

Ye Qingshan, however, quite enjoyed this environment.

Wasn't darkness a form of protection for him?

They continued diving until they reached a depth of about 80 meters.

He began to feel a pressure in his chest, but quickly adjusted to the situation.

And finally, clusters of light appeared on the dark seabed.

This is a sign placed underwater by the organizers, at a depth of 110 meters.

The light emanating from the sign successfully illuminated the surroundings, giving everyone a clear target.

After seeing the sign, Ye Qingshan silently calculated the time in his mind.

He had already spent one minute and five seconds descending to a depth of approximately ninety meters.

If he maintains his current speed, he can definitely break the 130-meter record and successfully return to shore!

Just when he thought this wave was in the bag.

Several dark figures suddenly rose rapidly from the bottom of the water.

The sudden appearance of dense black shadows almost made Ye Qingshan choke with fright.

Seeing this monstrous thing in the pitch-black depths of the sea is something no one could withstand.

"Is it a fish? Could it be a shark?"

Ye Qingshan was completely distraught; sharks could indeed be found at depths of around 100 meters.

But sharks have no reason to attack themselves in the ocean.

Furthermore, the organizers chose this location for the competition, so there shouldn't be any sharks present.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and continued to descend, closing the distance between himself and the dark figures.

The other two contestants representing Huaxia did not hesitate upon seeing this.

I just focused on continuing to dive.

The main issue was that the dark figures were some distance away from their location.

They don't need to worry about it so much.

Conversely, the underwater vehicle also detected the presence of these dark figures.

The camera shifted its focus from Ye Qingshan to these dark shadows.

"Holy crap... something seems to be wrong with the race. Some mysterious dark figures have appeared on Ye Qingshan's track."

"These dark shapes are still rising; are they dolphins?!"

After the underwater drone finally captured the truth about the shadowy figure...

The host was also stunned.

Dolphins are considered stars among marine life.

Dolphins are quite popular among humans, with frequent dolphin shows in aquariums and numerous stories of dolphins saving people.

The appearance of this friendly creature here brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

However, the people in the Qingshan Department couldn't laugh.

Suddenly a group of dolphins appeared?

Or were they going there specifically for Ye Qingshan?

"I've heard that dolphins can save drowning people. Could it be that they thought Ye Qingshan was drowning and came to rescue him?"

One of the managers said, his face pale.

Everything has gone extremely smoothly so far in the competition.

They were on the verge of winning the championship, and then this happened?

"Do you organizers have a contingency plan? Ye Qingshan's competition absolutely cannot be disrupted!"

After seeing that the dolphins were less than twenty meters away from Ye Qingshan.

The Qingshan Department was also extremely anxious.

"No, we've never encountered this situation before."

The organizers were practically in tears; nothing like this had ever happened at the diving area they had chosen.

If you're diving in other areas, it's normal for dolphins to see you and come to play.

But there are almost no dolphins in this area.

"We're doomed. Hopefully, these dolphins won't bother Ye Qingshan."

This was the first time the members of the Qingshan Department had felt so powerless.

If someone causes trouble, unless that kid stays underwater and doesn't come up, there's always a way to deal with him.

Dolphins... what can you do about them? In the end, they're just animals. Even if you kill them afterward, it won't change anything.

At this moment, Ye Qingshan was truly starting to panic.

He had recognized the dolphins and sensed that they came from him.

The moment they made contact, the five dolphins immediately enveloped him tightly.

And it clung to him in a strange pose.

This scene was captured on camera.

Everyone watching the game fell silent.

People may not understand marine life.

But humans know all too well what love is.

"Holy shit, this is fucking amazing!"

"Is this something that can be watched for free?"

"Shocking! One fish, five ways to eat it! No, one person, five ways to eat it! No, one person, five fish!"

"Waaah, dolphins are so cute, how could you do that? You'll get genital warts!"

Even Jotaro would be speechless after seeing this.

The audience was completely stunned.

Some critics even expressed sympathy for the dolphins.

The people in the Qingshan Department have all fallen silent.

The defenses are breached, completely breached.

He used to sleep with women, but later he got slept with by men.

Now even dolphins are getting involved with him???

"I'm tired, I'm not capable enough, I request a transfer from the Qingshan Department."

"Me too. I'm honored to have worked with you all for this period of time, and to have the opportunity to have a meal together."

"Um... I also want to go back to my old department; I can't handle this kind of work."

Several managers decided to resign on the spot.

I'm quitting.

The repeated failures, each with its own incredibly mysterious reasons, were unbearable for anyone.

It was as if the heavens were preventing them.

Human strength cannot overcome nature; let whoever wants to fight against God go ahead. They've lost that spirit.

As countless people stared in disbelief, Ye Qingshan was on the verge of despair.

After being harassed, everyone else collectively surpassed him.

In his excitement, he couldn't hold his breath any longer.

With no other option, he could only use all his strength to push these damned beasts away and choose to begin ascending at a point of 100 meters.

If he lingered any longer, he would probably really perish at the bottom of the sea. The surfacing phase was the most troublesome, and he couldn't stay any longer.

He couldn't care less about the mission failing.

As Qingshan, there's always hope for a fire!

"Affected by the dolphins, swimmer Ye Qingshan has given up the race and chosen to surface, which is a wise decision. He shouldn't risk his life."

"But the other contestants' matches are still ongoing, and currently the leaders are Owada from Baga and Kim Jae-jung Xiba."

"They've already broken through the 110-meter mark; it seems the champion and runner-up will emerge from among them."

After saying this, the host's tone carried a hint of melancholy.

What was originally a sure thing for first place has turned into this situation because of a few dolphins.

Moreover, the most detestable people, the Shiba and Baga, are going to win the championship and runner-up titles.

Just when everyone was losing interest...

The dolphins that had been there earlier suddenly caught up with the first two contestants, Siba and Baka.

Once they were up there, they began to attempt interracial love in the same posture.

Once entangled by the dolphins, their rhythm was immediately disrupted, and without saying a word, they began to swim upwards as fast as they could.

With their withdrawal, the top spot returned to the hands of the Huaxia team.

Ye Qingshan's two opponents tried their best to catch up throughout the race. Finally, they seized the opportunity and sprinted for 130 meters before turning back together.

Amidst everyone's anticipation.

They eventually surfaced successfully, setting a new personal best.

The spectators cheered enthusiastically.

Only Ye Qingshan, sitting on the boat, lay on the deck with a look of utter despair.

He didn't know why, ever since he got this damn system...

Except for the first mission being completed successfully.

Every time after that was torture for him.

Those seemingly enormous rewards, enough to propel a nation to new heights.

It's as if I've never had it.

The punishments for failing a mission only get worse with each failure.

"System, I want to abandon the remaining tasks. Let's stop here."

Ye Qingshan smiled bitterly and silently recited in his heart.

He's had enough of this brain-dead system.

Rather than continuing like this, he might as well rely on himself to continue his undercover mission.

"This mission has failed. The penalty will be issued at midnight tonight. The date for the next mission is yet to be determined. If you abandon the mission directly, you will be subject to death. Please adjust your mindset."

The system's cold, indifferent voice rang out.
