Chapter 17: New Rules to Prevent Cheating, Bibi Dong's Confidence

Tiandou Royal Academy dormitory.

What the heck, Luo Ye didn't just increase his soul power by one level, he even got a second martial soul, and yet I only got half his points? This Diary is also too unfair?

Dugu Yan covered her head with both hands, hair disheveled, looking frantic.

The reason she reacted this way is mainly due to morning grumpiness.

She was sleeping soundly, but the Diary copy in her mind went berserk, shattering her beautiful dream; anyone encountering this would feel awful.

Ye Lingling beside her, on the other hand, didn't have such a big reaction, just shook her head slightly.

Being treated differently is normal; Luo Ye is the true owner of the Diary, and what we have is merely a copy.

Even so, this is already a rare great opportunity; don't forget the treasures in the Points Mall that could shake the entire continent.

Given Ye Lingling's personality, it's rare for her to say so much at once.

Dugu Yan was also successfully persuaded by her, no longer angry, and nodded.

That's true, and besides earning points daily, if you keep watching the Diary for a month you can also get a reward, though I don't know if the reward is good.

Ye Lingling pondered for a moment, then spoke.

It shouldn't be bad, but what specific reward one gets may also depend on luck, just like the amount of points earned each day.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately gave her a resentful look and spoke sourly.

Yeah, just like today, I only got 5 points, but you actually got 9 points, just one shy of the maximum.

According to the Diary copy's rules, the points they receive each day are also limited: being mentioned by name earns at least 1 point, at most 10 points.

Luo Ye getting 10 points isn't surprising; besides being the true owner of the Diary, he is also a Child of Fate chosen by the will of the plane, so good luck is only natural.

But the gap with Ye Lingling is so large that Dugu Yan finds it hard to bear.

While a best friend's failure is hard to accept, a best friend's success is even more heart-wrenching.

Ye Lingling gave her a sideways glance and spoke lightly.

I was just lucky for a moment, but I do have a guess about how many points one gets each day, though I don't know if it's correct.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan hurriedly leaned in, putting on a deliberate fawning expression.

Hey Lingling, quickly tell me what your guess is.

Ye Lingling had long been accustomed to her antics, showed little reaction, and spoke directly.

I think that if Luo Ye mentions our names many times in the Diary each day, it's likely we'll get more points the next day; if mentioned only once, it's purely luck.

Of course, this is just my guess; I can record it later to see if it holds true.

Dugu Yan felt her words made sense, was about to agree, when suddenly she thought of something and blurted out.

But what if Luo Ye stops writing our names in the Diary from now on?

Ye Lingling's face stiffened, and she couldn't speak for a moment.

Luo Ye is at Shilaike Academy, while they are students of Tiandou Royal Academy; there's naturally no interaction between them, so there's no way to guarantee their names appear in the Diary every day.

Faced with this situation, Ye Lingling also didn't know what to do.

Spirit Hall, Pontiff's Hall.

Teacher, why don't we just lure Luo Ye over now? Worst case, we can forcibly bring Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong along as well.

Hu Liena put on a serious face and made a suggestion to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong glanced at her and spoke calmly.

How so, you're not satisfied with getting 7 points?

Hu Liena sighed.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied; I just feel this efficiency is too slow. Many of the things I want in the Points Mall are available, but you can only earn up to 10 points a day, and I don't know when I'll be able to afford them.

Yesterday I didn't feel this way, because I didn't know the daily point cap was only 10.

Now that she's seen this rule, Hu Liena can't sit still.

Know that if your name can't appear in the Diary, you won't even get a single point.

At this rate, it'll truly take forever to buy the desired items.

Knowing that in the future she'll have to oppose Tang San and the God Realm, she of course wants to boost her strength as fast as possible.

Not to mention Hu Liena; even Bibi Dong looks at the items in the Points Mall with greedy eyes.

But faced with Hu Liena's suggestion, Bibi Dong still refused.

No, the new rules state that we must not let Luo Ye know we have a Diary copy, otherwise we bear the consequences; if you go find Luo Ye now, he'll surely sense something's off.

If he notices we have a Diary copy, leading to its confiscation, wouldn't that be losing big for small gain?

Hearing this, Hu Liena slumped helplessly on the desk, feeling very troubled.

The Diary today added a new rule, which besides explaining the daily point limit, also states that Luo Ye must not know they obtained a Diary copy.

Otherwise, given Hu Liena's understanding of her own teacher, she would have already set off for Shilaike Academy, determined to bring Luo Ye back no matter what, and wouldn't be sitting here doing nothing.

It seems the Diary added this restriction to prevent us from colluding with Luo Ye to cheat.

Bibi Dong said thoughtfully.

After all, if Luo Ye knew they had a Diary copy, and that merely having their name appear in the Diary would earn points, he would surely write everyone's name in it every day.

That way, the holders of these Diary copies would continuously earn rewards, and when they later go to war with the God Realm, they'd have more trump cards.

Too bad, this cheating route was directly blocked by the Diary.

After Bibi Dong's reminder, Hu Liena also understood and complained about this Diary restriction.

What should we do then? Do we just have to accept our fate?

Bibi Dong also had no good solution, remained silent for a moment, then spoke lightly.

Luo Ye will eventually leave Shilaike Academy; given his relationship with us, if he manages to persuade those three women from Shilaike to leave together, their first choice will definitely be the Spirit Hall.

So there's no need to rush; just wait.

As Luo Ye's teacher in his previous life, and moreover regarded as a relative by him, Bibi Dong can be said to be very confident about this.
